Xencor Inc's profitability ratios show a mixed performance over the five-year period from 2019 to 2023. The company has maintained a consistent gross profit margin of 100% during this period, indicating its ability to efficiently control the cost of goods sold.

However, the operating profit margin has been volatile, with significant fluctuations year over year. In 2023, the operating profit margin was -82.36%, reflecting a substantial operating loss. This suggests that the company's operating expenses were high relative to its revenue. The negative operating profit margins in 2020 and 2019 indicate operational inefficiencies and challenges in controlling costs.

The pretax margin also shows inconsistency, with negative margins in 2023, 2020, and 2019. This indicates that the company's operating expenses and interest expenses have been consuming a significant portion of its revenue.

The net profit margin, a key indicator of overall profitability, has also been negative in 2023, 2020, and 2019. This suggests that after accounting for operating expenses, interest, and taxes, the company has been incurring losses or generating minimal profit.

In conclusion, while Xencor Inc has shown stability in its gross profit margin, the company has struggled with profitability at the operating, pretax, and net profit level over the five-year period. The negative margins in several years indicate potential financial challenges and the need for operational improvements to enhance profitability.
