Cash vs Debt
The company holds $104.6M in cash, though total debt stands at $316.4M. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. The company generates $116.3M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. Return on equity stands at 6.9%, which is modest for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. ROA of 1.3% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $1.64B (2022) to $1.63B (2025).
