Ampco-Pittsburgh Corp. (AP) reported $428.0M in revenue over the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026, up 3.3% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Revenue stayed near $434M , but operating economics deteriorated sharply as below-gross-profit costs turned modest profit into a large loss.
The striking mismatch is that FY2025’s net loss of$66.1M coexisted with positive operating cash flow of$1.3M , so the reported loss did not translate into an equivalent cash drain. In FY2024, net income of$438K accompanied operating cash flow of$18.0M , confirming that earnings and cash conversion can diverge materially.
Gross margin eased from
Debt-to-equity rose from 2.0x in FY2024 to 3.6x in FY2025 as equity shrank, leaving a more leveraged capital structure. The current ratio remained 1.8x, so short-term assets still exceeded current liabilities, but that liquidity measure does not offset the thinner equity cushion.
