Lendlease Group (OTCPK:LLESY) 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.

Lendlease has three segments: investments, development, and construction. Lendlease operates locally and overseas across all three segments. However, in the future, its development and construction businesses will be solely in Australia, while the investment management platform will maintain exposure to international real estate assets. Historically, the investments segment contributed about one-third of group EBITDA, development around half, and construction the remaining. The group is targeting an earnings mix between investments/development/construction of 50%/35%/15% post the current restructure, shifting more weights to the defensive and higher margin investments segment. Sales proceeds from asset divestments will primarily be used to repay debt and buy back securities.
