Rhea AI ALK FY2025

Revenue expansion is being absorbed by heavier operating costs and a more leveraged, liquidity-constrained balance sheet.

Revenue more than doubled between FY2021 and FY2025, while operating margin fell from 11.1% to 2.1%. That margin divergence coincided with SG&A rising to $4.8B in FY2025, indicating added scale was accompanied by a much larger cost base rather than clean operating leverage, leaving earnings more sensitive to expense control.

Operating cash flow stayed positive in FY2022 and FY2023, yet free cash flow was negative in both years. The cash conversion gap reflects a capital-intensive reinvestment cycle: capital expenditures were $1.7B in FY2022, and the current ratio fell to 0.6x by FY2023. Internally generated cash was therefore absorbed by reinvestment before becoming available after capital spending.

Debt-to-equity rose from 0.5x in FY2023 to 1.2x in FY2025, marking a clear financing shift. The current ratio fell to 0.5x while FY2025 buybacks reached $570M, showing shareholder distributions continued as short-term balance-sheet flexibility narrowed.

Profitability
44

Alaska Air Group Inc has an operating margin of 2.1%, meaning the company retains $2 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 44/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 4.9% the prior year.

Growth
78

Alaska Air Group Inc's revenue surged 21.3% year-over-year to $14.2B, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 78/100.

Leverage
16

Alaska Air Group Inc has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 1.16), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 16/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity
4

Alaska Air Group Inc's current ratio of 0.50 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 4/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow

Returns

Alaska Air Group Inc's ROE of 2.4% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 44/100. This is down from 9.0% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress
1.07

Alaska Air Group Inc scores 1.07, below the 1.81 distress threshold. This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Partial
5/8

Alaska Air Group Inc passes 5 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
12.49x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Alaska Air Group Inc generates $12.49 in operating cash flow ($1.2B OCF vs $100.0M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk
1.11x

Alaska Air Group Inc earns $1.11 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($303.0M vs $272.0M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
