Need help with understanding the screener’s formula


So the support team of a screener mailed me about a query of formula they used for calculating GPM(specifically for IT companies), they mailed me-
For gross profit margin ratio, the formula used is (100 – Material cost last year). Since Material cost is 0 in most IT cos. GPM is showing as 100%.
can someone explain is this formula even legit, if it is then how is it working?
