The company holds $130.7M in cash, though total debt stands at $666.8M. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. ROE of 9.9% points to decent capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 0.8% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $218.6M (2022) to $222.1M (2025).
