Warning signs

5 flagged
  • Liabilities exceed assets Shareholders' equity is negative at -$63.8M as of Dec 31, 2025. What is left for shareholders after creditors is, on the balance sheet, less than nothing.
  • 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.
  • Heavily indebted Net debt is 9.4 times EBITDA — roughly 9 years of earnings before interest, tax and depreciation to repay borrowings in full.
  • Shareholders diluted The share count rose 2.1% over the year, from 49m to 50m shares. Each existing share owns a smaller fraction of the company than it did a year ago.
  • Revenue shrinking Revenue fell 5.8% over the year, from $1.0B to $975.8M.

Margins Each as a share of revenue. Gross: left after the direct cost of what was sold. Net: left after every cost. Free cash: free cash flow over revenue. A margin rising over years means the business keeps more of each dollar it sells. Methodology

Shares outstanding Shares in issue at the year's end. A rising count means each share owns a smaller slice of the company (stock pay, share sales); a falling one, buybacks.
