Rhea AI ACCO FY2025 2026-08-29

Profitability recovery has come through cost absorption while shrinking sales, but cash conversion remains uneven.

The operating rebound is concentrated below gross profit: operating margin moved from -2.2% in FY2024 to 6.1% in FY2025 while gross margin remained broadly stable, pointing more to lower operating expense than a fundamental change in product economics. Yet operating cash flow fell from $148M to $69M over the same period, so the return to accounting profit did not bring a proportional improvement in cash generation.

Total assets fell from $3.1B in FY2021 to $2.3B in FY2025, indicating a substantially smaller operating base rather than growth funded by expansion. Debt-to-equity rose from 1.1x to 1.2x, so deleveraging has not kept pace with that contraction.

FY2025 dividends and buybacks totaled $42M despite weaker operating cash generation than the prior year, showing that capital distributions remain part of the financing pattern rather than simply a residual after cash needs are met.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 24/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Acco Brands Corporation's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Acco Brands Corporation has an operating margin of 6.0%, meaning the company retains $6 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 39/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from -2.2% the prior year.

Growth

Acco Brands Corporation's revenue declined 8.5% year-over-year, from $1.7B to $1.5B. This contraction results in a growth score of 11/100.

Leverage

Acco Brands Corporation has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 1.21), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 13/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

Acco Brands Corporation's current ratio of 1.61 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 46/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow

Not available for Acco Brands Corporation, and counted as zero in the overall score.

Returns

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

6/9

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

1.66x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Acco Brands Corporation generates $1.66 in operating cash flow ($68.7M OCF vs $41.3M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate

2.02x

Acco Brands Corporation earns $2.02 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($92.3M vs $45.8M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
