Margins don't tell whole story of that business.If you start with $100 and sell $100 worth of products each year, than yes, your profit will be 1.7%.

But if sell products fast("inventory turnover - TTM") and re-use the money, with $100, you can sell $1000 of product per year,getting 17% yearly ROI.

But of course 1.7% is low so it's not easy staying on the positive side of profit.
