Working capital strain and heavier borrowing now drive the business more than simple year-to-year sales changes.

Across the last three annual periods, long-term debt rose from $51.5M to $174.0M while equity moved the opposite direction, shrinking the balance-sheet cushion behind the business. That financing shift lifted interest expense to $18.5M and helps explain why a gross margin recovery to 28.7% still failed to restore net profitability.

The latest liquidity picture is more fragile than the current ratio suggests because inventory and receivables totaled $336.5M versus only $12.4M of cash. When so much of the balance sheet is tied up in customer collections and stock on hand, operating cash flow can remain negative at -$21.2M even if accounting losses improve.

The drop in gross margin to 22.0% was followed by a rebound to 28.7%, so the newest pressure is not just a product-cost issue. With operating margin still at -5.5% and interest expense at $18.5M, the company currently needs more scale or lower overhead before gross profit can reach shareholders.

Profitability

American Vanguard Corp has an operating margin of -5.5%, meaning the company retains $-5 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 19/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -18.6% the prior year.

Growth

American Vanguard Corp's revenue declined 5.9% year-over-year, from $547.3M to $515.1M. This contraction results in a growth score of 16/100.

Leverage

American Vanguard Corp has a moderate D/E ratio of 0.90. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 49/100.

Liquidity

American Vanguard Corp's current ratio of 1.77 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 51/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Piotroski F-Score Partial

5/8

American Vanguard Corp passes 5 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 2 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.42x

For every $1 of reported earnings, American Vanguard Corp generates $0.42 in operating cash flow (-$21.2M OCF vs -$49.9M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage At Risk

-1.5x

American Vanguard Corp earns $-1.5 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$28.3M vs $18.5M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
