Warning signs

3 flagged
  • Liabilities exceed assets Shareholders' equity is negative at -$444.8M 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.
  • Revenue shrinking Revenue fell 0.3% over the year, from $2.1B to $2.1B.

Revenue What customers paid the company over its fiscal year, before any cost, as filed in its annual report. The change is against the year before. Methodology $2.1B -0.3% on FY2024
$0 $2.5B FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY2020 · $1.8B FY2021 · $2.1B FY2022 · $2.1B FY2023 · $2.1B FY2024 · $2.1B FY2025 · $2.1B
Net income Profit left after every cost, interest and tax for the year. A column below the line is a loss. Methodology $30.5M -63% on FY2024

Free cash flow Cash from running the business less what it spent on equipment and buildings: the cash a year actually left behind, which profit alone does not show. Not shown for banks and insurers, whose cash moves with their loans. Methodology $61.3M +80% on FY2024
$0 $200M FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY2020 · $150.8M FY2021 · $116.1M FY2022 · $39.4M FY2023 · $116.4M FY2024 · $34.1M FY2025 · $61.3M
Margins Each as a share of revenue. Gross: left after the direct cost of what was sold. Net: left after every cost. Free cash: free cash flow over revenue. A margin rising over years means the business keeps more of each dollar it sells. Methodology

Cash and long-term debt Cash on the balance sheet at the year's end beside debt due after a year. Net cash is cash less that debt; net debt is the shortfall. Debt some filers do not tag shows as a gap, not as zero. Methodology $675.8M net debt

Shares outstanding Shares in issue at the year's end. A rising count means each share owns a smaller slice of the company (stock pay, share sales); a falling one, buybacks. The chart's scale is fitted to the count, so a small change looks large: read the percentage. Methodology 32.80m +0.9% since FY2020
