Business overview

  • Operating margin stands at 23.5%.
  • Gross margin is reported as Data unavailable.
  • FCF margin is -15.5%.

While the operating margin shows a reasonable level of profitability from core operations, the negative free cash flow margin indicates that the business is currently spending more cash than it generates.

Financial health

  • Financial Quality pillar score is 27 out of 100.
  • Balance Sheet pillar score is 14 out of 100.
  • Risk pillar score is 80 out of 100.

These low pillar scores for financial quality and the balance sheet point to underlying balance sheet and financial stability vulnerabilities, despite a high risk score indicating stability parameters in other categories.
