IC Power  (NYSE:ICP) 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 long term trend of the pretax margin is a good indicator of the competitiveness and health of the business.
