Answer Overview
The press‑release excerpt you shared does not contain the actual net‑profit‑margin figures for either Q2 2025 or Q2 2024. Without the specific net‑profit amount and the corresponding revenue (or the margin percentage that the company may have disclosed), we cannot calculate or state the net‑profit‑margin values for those periods.
Below is a concise explanation of what would be needed to answer the question, followed by guidance on how you could obtain the required numbers from the full press release or the company’s investor‑relations site.
1. What a “Net‑Profit‑Margin” Means
- Net‑Profit‑Margin = (Net Profit ÷ Net Revenue) × 100 %
- It shows the percentage of each R$ ( Brazilian Real) of sales that remains as profit after all expenses, taxes, and interest have been deducted.
2. Information Required to Compute the Margin
| Item | Where it appears in a typical earnings release | What you need to compute the margin |
|---|---|---|
| Net profit (or net income) | Usually in the “Consolidated Results” or “Income Statement” section | Net profit (e.g., R$ 123.4 million) |
| Net revenue (or total sales) | Same section; sometimes labeled “Revenue,” “Net Sales,” or “Total Revenue” | Revenue (e.g., R$ 1 500 million) |
| Net‑profit‑margin (if disclosed) | Often summarized in the “Key Financial Indicators” table | Already expressed as a percentage (e.g., 8.2 %) |
If the press release already provides a net‑profit‑margin figure, you can quote it directly; if not, you can compute it using the two numbers above.
3. How to Obtain the Numbers
- Open the full press release (the link is usually provided in the PR‑Newswire release or on Lojas Renner’s investor‑relations page).
- Locate the “Consolidated Results” table – it typically lists:
- Revenue (or Net Sales) – Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024
- Net profit (or Net Income) – Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024
- Sometimes a “Net profit margin” line is already shown.
- Revenue (or Net Sales) – Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024
If not directly listed, compute:
[
\text{Net‑profit‑margin}{2025} = \frac{\text{Net profit}{2025}}{\text{Revenue}{2025}} \times 100\%
]
[
\text{Net‑profit‑margin}{2024} = \frac{\text{Net profit}{2024}}{\text{Revenue}{2024}} \times 100\%
]Compare the two percentages (e.g., “The net‑profit‑margin improved from 6.9 % in Q2 2024 to 8.2 % in Q2 2025, an increase of 1.3 percentage points (≈ 19 % relative improvement).”).
4. Example (Hypothetical) Calculation
Assume the press release contains the following figures (these numbers are purely illustrative):
| Q2 2025 | Q2 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net Revenue | R$ 2 200 million | R$ 2 000 million |
| Net Profit | R$ 176 million | R$ 138 million |
Compute the margin:
- 2025: (176 ÷ 2 200) × 100 % ≈ 8.0 %
- 2024: (138 ÷ 2 000) × 100 % ≈ 6.9 %
Comparison: The net‑profit‑margin increased by 1.1 percentage points (≈ 16 % relative improvement) from Q2 2024 to Q2 2025.
5. What to Do Next
- Locate the full earnings release (usually a PDF or HTML document) on Lojas Renner’s investor‑relations web page (e.g.,
investor.renner.com.br), or via the PR‑Newswire link. - Extract the net‑profit and revenue figures (or the directly quoted margin) from the “Consolidated Results” section.
- Apply the calculation above (or quote the reported margin) to answer the question precisely.
If you can provide the exact numbers from the full press release, I’ll gladly compute the exact net‑profit‑margin for both quarters and give you a final, quantitative comparison.
