IRESS (ASX:IRE) Pretax Margin % Explanation
The pretax margin, as know as pretax profit margin, is widely used to measure the operating efficiency of a company before deducting taxes.
The pretax margin is sometimes preferred over the net margin as tax expenditures can make profitability comparisons between companies misleading.
It is a useful tool to compare companies operating in the same sector and less effective when comparing companies from other sectors as each industry generally has different operating expenses and sales patterns.
The long term trend of the pretax margin is a good indicator of the competitiveness and health of the business.

Iress develops software for the financial-services industry, operating in multiple regions and servicing clients ranging from small retail to large institutional businesses. Its core business unit, mainly in Australia, generates most of the company's earnings and free cash flows. Iress expanded into noncore markets through acquisitions, ultimately eroding returns and margins, with free cash flows from the core business invested in the noncore businesses. Its recent strategy includes reprioritizing growth in the core Trading and Market Data and Wealth businesses, and divesting/monetizing noncore assets. We view this renewed focus on its core business as a positive, as it will help maintain Iress' economic moat.
