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.
- Heavily indebted Net debt is 4.8 times EBITDA — roughly 5 years of earnings before interest, tax and depreciation to repay borrowings in full.
- Revenue shrinking Revenue fell 8.3% over the year, from $2.5B to $2.3B.
