Warning signs
- 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.
- Interest is covered, but thinly Earnings before interest cover the interest bill 1.3 times, leaving little room if profits fall.
- Heavily indebted Net debt is 6.2 times EBITDA — roughly 6 years of earnings before interest, tax and depreciation to repay borrowings in full.
- Revenue shrinking Revenue fell 1.3% over the year, from $2.3B to $2.2B.
