Warning signs
- Interest is covered, but thinly Earnings before interest cover the interest bill 1.8 times, leaving little room if profits fall.
- Profit not backed by cash Reported profit of $176.8M came with $76.2M of operating cash flow. Profit that cash does not follow is the classic signature of aggressive accounting.
