Screen verdict
Did not qualify for any screen.
Warning signs
- Heavily indebted Net debt is 7.7 times EBITDA — roughly 8 years of earnings before interest, tax and depreciation to repay borrowings in full.
- Shareholders diluted The share count rose 14.5% over the year, from 53m to 61m shares. Each existing share owns a smaller fraction of the company than it did a year ago.
- Profit not backed by cash Reported profit of $135.5M came with -$193.5M of operating cash flow. Profit that cash does not follow is the classic signature of aggressive accounting.
