Alternus Clean's revenue declined 97.2% year-over-year, from $11.2M to $311K. This contraction results in a growth score of 0/100.
Alternus Clean's current ratio of 0.02 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 0/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

For every $1 of reported earnings, Alternus Clean generates $-0.15 in operating cash flow (-$3.2M OCF vs $21.1M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.
Alternus Clean earns $-1.9 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$16.3M vs $8.8M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
