Warning signs

4 flagged
  • Losing money before interest is even paid The company made an operating loss, so interest is not covered at all - the debt is being serviced from cash reserves, asset sales or new borrowing rather than from the business.
  • Heavily indebted Net debt is 8.9 times EBITDA — roughly 9 years of earnings before interest, tax and depreciation to repay borrowings in full.
  • Profit not backed by cash Reported profit of $799.0M came with -$431.0M of operating cash flow. Profit that cash does not follow is the classic signature of aggressive accounting.
  • Gross margin narrowing Gross margin fell from 50.3% to 43.9%. The company is keeping less of each dollar of sales than it did a year ago.
