Screen verdict
Did not qualify for any screen.
Warning signs
- Operating profit does not cover interest Earnings before interest cover the interest bill 0.5 times. Below 0.5× the debt is being serviced from something other than operations.
- Heavily indebted Net debt is 6.8 times EBITDA — roughly 7 years of earnings before interest, tax and depreciation to repay borrowings in full.
- Gross margin narrowing Gross margin fell from 26.2% to 24.9%. The company is keeping less of each dollar of sales than it did a year ago.
