Cash vs Debt
The company holds $10.4M in cash, though total debt stands at $254.0M. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. Free cash flow comes in at $44.8M, providing flexibility for reinvestment, buybacks, or dividends. Consistent free cash flow generation is often considered a sign of operational health. Return on equity stands at -34.1%, which is negative for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. ROA of 3.9% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has pulled back from $782.4M (2022) to $536.4M (2025), a 31% decline worth watching.
