Warning signs
- Liabilities exceed assets Shareholders' equity is negative at -$273.9M as of Dec 28, 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 15.6 times EBITDA — roughly 16 years of earnings before interest, tax and depreciation to repay borrowings in full.
- Gross margin narrowing Gross margin fell from 46.2% to 40.9%. The company is keeping less of each dollar of sales than it did a year ago.
