Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In (CCO) reported $1.7B in revenue over the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026, up 9.1% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Rhea AI CCO FY2025

A debt-heavy, negative-equity structure reached positive free cash flow as investing inflows and debt reduction reshaped FY2025.

The cash improvement was broader than the small accounting-profit swing: FY2025 operating cash flow of $114.9M was nearly six times net income of $19.9M, indicating that reported earnings understated cash generation. Free cash flow also turned positive at $32.0M, while the reported investing inflow and financing outflow coincided with lower debt, making the financing pattern as important as the operating recovery.

Revenue reached $1.6B while operating margin widened to 19.4% from 18.6%; operating income therefore grew faster than sales, consistent with some fixed-cost absorption rather than a pure volume story. This operating leverage helped move net margin from -11.9% to 1.2%.

Long-term debt fell from $5.7B in FY2024 to $5.1B in FY2025, but liabilities still exceeded assets, leaving negative equity. Interest expense of $395.6M exceeded operating income of $310.6M, so the balance sheet remains the main constraint on translating operating profit into bottom-line earnings.

Profitability
74

Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In has an operating margin of 19.4%, meaning the company retains $19 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 74/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is up from 18.6% the prior year.

Growth
53

Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In's revenue grew 6.6% year-over-year to $1.6B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 53/100.

Leverage
5
Liquidity
33

Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In's current ratio of 1.28 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 33/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow
24

While Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In generated $114.9M in operating cash flow, capex of $82.9M consumed most of it, leaving $32.0M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 24/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns
61
Altman Z-Score Distress
-1.70

Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In scores -1.70, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($1.2B) relative to total liabilities ($7.2B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Piotroski F-Score Partial
5/8

Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In passes 5 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
5.76x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In generates $5.76 in operating cash flow ($114.9M OCF vs $19.9M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk
0.79x

Clear Channel Outdoor Hldgs In earns $0.79 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($310.6M vs $395.6M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
