Rhea AI AN FY2025

Revenue has held near $27B while profit and cash generation have weakened, leaving the business more balance-sheet dependent.

Cash conversion deteriorated sharply: operating cash flow fell from $724M in FY2023 to $112M in FY2025, even as net income remained positive at $649M. Operating cash flow represented 70.9% of net income in FY2023 but only 17.2% in FY2025. That deterioration coincided with free cash flow moving from $314M to -$198M, meaning accounting profit increasingly failed to become cash after investment.

Revenue reached $27.6B in FY2025, only modestly above FY2023. Over that span, operating margin fell 1.6 percentage points while selling and administrative costs increased as a share of revenue, indicating that near-flat sales are not translating into operating profit.

Liabilities reached 83.7% of assets and debt-to-equity was 1.6x in FY2025, leaving a relatively thin equity buffer beneath operations. The current ratio was 0.8x, so current assets remained below current liabilities; inventory of $3.4B makes working-capital management central to cash generation.

Profitability
56

AutoNation, Inc. has an operating margin of 4.5%, meaning the company retains $4 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 56/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 4.9% the prior year.

Growth
34

AutoNation, Inc.'s revenue grew a modest 3.2% year-over-year to $27.6B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 34/100.

Leverage
36

AutoNation, Inc. has a moderate D/E ratio of 1.58. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 36/100.

Liquidity
13

AutoNation, Inc.'s current ratio of 0.84 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 13/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow
26

While AutoNation, Inc. generated $111.9M in operating cash flow, capex of $309.4M consumed most of it, leaving -$197.5M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 26/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns
81

AutoNation, Inc. earns a strong 27.7% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $28 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 81/100. This is down from 28.2% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone
2.98

AutoNation, Inc. scores 2.98, placing it in the grey zone between 1.81 and 2.99. The largest contribution to the score comes from revenue of $27.6B against total assets of $14.4B. This signals moderate financial risk that warrants monitoring.

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

Piotroski F-Score Neutral
5/9

AutoNation, Inc. passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 operating efficiency signals passes.

Earnings Quality Low Quality
0.17x

For every $1 of reported earnings, AutoNation, Inc. generates $0.17 in operating cash flow ($111.9M OCF vs $649.1M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage Safe
6.89x

AutoNation, Inc. earns $6.89 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($1.2B vs $180.0M). This wide margin provides strong safety for debt servicing, even if earnings decline temporarily.
