This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

CABO's FY2025 numbers show cash still coming from operations even as earnings collapsed and short-term balance-sheet pressure intensified.
In FY2025, operating cash flow was$563M despite a net loss of$357M , so accounting earnings sharply understated cash produced that year. Yet EBITDA was$131M against an operating loss of$207M , indicating cash generation was not simply a reflection of robust underlying operating profit.

A ratio above 1.0x means the company generates more cash than its reported earnings, indicating sustainable, cash-backed profits. Ratios below 1.0x suggest earnings rely on accounting accruals rather than actual cash generation. Learn more in our complete guide to financial health indicators.
