Bridgford Food (BRID) reported $231.0M in revenue for fiscal year 2025, up 3.3% from the prior fiscal year. 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).
Bridgford’s dominant mechanic is margin compression: sales recovered, but operating costs outran gross profit and consumed cash.
FY2025 revenue recovered from FY2024, yet gross margin fell from25.2% to19.3% ; the sales rebound therefore arrived with weaker unit economics rather than operating leverage. Gross profit of$44.6M sat below selling, general and administrative expense of$63.5M , showing why the business moved to an operating loss even without a major revenue collapse.
Debt is not the main financing pressure: FY2025 debt-to-equity was near zero, while the current ratio fell from 4.7x to 3.0x as current assets declined, narrowing short-term flexibility. That combination points to reduced liquidity cushion rather than balance-sheet dependence on borrowing.
