Answer
The press release you provided about Berry Corporation’s second‑quarter 2025 results does not contain any specific figures for the company’s operating margin (or any other profitability metric) and it also does not include operating‑margin data for its peers in the sector. Because those numbers are missing, I can’t directly compare Berry’s Q2 operating margins with those of its main competitors based solely on the information in the release.
What you can do next
Review the full earnings release – The company’s supplemental slide deck (mentioned in the release and available at www.bry.com) typically contains a detailed financial table, including operating margin percentages for the quarter.
Check competitor filings – Look up the Q2 2025 earnings releases or 10‑Q filings for the other companies you consider “main competitors.” Their reports will list operating margins (often shown as “operating income / revenue”).
Use financial data platforms – Services such as Bloomberg, FactSet, S&P Capital IQ, or even free sites like Yahoo Finance or Google Finance often provide quarterly operating‑margin percentages for publicly traded firms.
Calculate the margin yourself – If the releases only give operating income (or EBIT) and total revenue, you can compute the operating margin:
[
\text{Operating Margin (\%)} = \frac{\text{Operating Income (or EBIT)}}{\text{Revenue}} \times 100
]
Once you have Berry’s Q2 operating‑margin percentage and the same metric for each competitor, you can place them side‑by‑side to see whether Berry is above, below, or roughly in line with the industry average.
Example of How the comparison would look (hypothetical numbers)
| Company | Q2 2025 Operating Income | Q2 2025 Revenue | Operating Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Berry Corp. | $45 M | $300 M | 15.0 % |
| Competitor A | $120 M | $800 M | 15.0 % |
| Competitor B | $78 M | $600 M | 13.0 % |
| Competitor C | $55 M | $400 M | 13.8 % |
In this illustrative example, Berry’s 15 % margin would be comparable to Competitor A and slightly higher than Competitors B and C.
Bottom line
- The current press release does not disclose Berry’s Q2 operating margin nor competitor margins.
- To answer the question, you’ll need to retrieve the missing figures from Berry’s detailed earnings slide deck (or its 10‑Q filing) and from the earnings reports of the relevant competitors. Once you have those numbers, you can compute or directly compare the operating‑margin percentages.
