Warning signs
- Shareholders diluted The share count rose 11.9% over the year, from 34m to 38m 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 $82.4M came with -$147.0M of operating cash flow. Profit that cash does not follow is the classic signature of aggressive accounting.
