Warning signs
- Material impairment The company disclosed a material impairment - an asset written down below the value the balance sheet had been carrying.
- Bankruptcy model reads distressed The Altman score sits inside the range historically associated with financial distress. It is used here only to exclude, never to rank, and it is a statistical band rather than a prediction about this company.
- Revenue shrinking Revenue fell 4.7% over the year, from $3.5B to $3.3B.
