Rhea AI BRID FY2025 2026-06-01

A shrinking gross-profit pool against a largely fixed selling-cost base is the main pressure point in Bridgford Foods.

FY2025 sales improved slightly, but gross margin fell from 25.2% to 19.3%. With SG&A still near $63M, the business lost much of its cushion above direct costs, which explains why operating losses deepened without a major overhead build.

The balance sheet is not what is creating the strain: long-term debt was just $351K in FY2025 and current assets still covered current liabilities by 3.0x. The immediate constraint is cash burn; with only $4.8M in cash and free cash flow at -$9.3M, day-to-day flexibility depends on operations improving rather than on leverage relief.

Inventory and receivables both declined, helping FY2025 operating cash flow of -$5.7M come in much better than the net loss of -$13.4M. But after routine capex, free cash flow still landed at -$9.3M, which means the business is not yet funding its own upkeep from operations.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 42/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Bridgford Food's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Bridgford Food has an operating margin of -8.1%, meaning the company retains $-8 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 25/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from -2.8% the prior year.

Growth

Bridgford Food's revenue grew a modest 3.3% year-over-year to $231.0M. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 20/100.

Leverage

Bridgford Food carries a low D/E ratio of 0.00, meaning only $0.00 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 89/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

With a current ratio of 3.04, Bridgford Food holds $3.04 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 77/100.

Cash Flow

While Bridgford Food generated -$5.7M in operating cash flow, capex of $3.6M consumed most of it, leaving -$9.3M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 23/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Bridgford Food generates a -11.6% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 18/100. This is down from -2.7% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Safe

3.73

Bridgford Food scores 3.73, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

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

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

4/9

Bridgford Food passes 4 of 9 financial strength tests. 1 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.43x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Bridgford Food generates $0.43 in operating cash flow (-$5.7M OCF vs -$13.4M 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

-59.7x

Bridgford Food earns $-59.7 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$18.8M vs $314K). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
