Financial Profile 44/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability

Core Molding has an operating margin of 5.2%, meaning the company retains $5 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 34/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 5.5% the prior year.

Growth

Core Molding's revenue declined 9.5% year-over-year, from $302.4M to $273.8M. This contraction results in a growth score of 18/100.

Leverage

100

Core Molding carries a low D/E ratio of 0.11, meaning only $0.11 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 100/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Core Molding's current ratio of 3.02 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 58/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow

While Core Molding generated $19.2M in operating cash flow, capex of $17.3M consumed most of it, leaving $1.9M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 27/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Core Molding generates a 7.1% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 27/100. This is down from 9.0% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Safe

4.35

Core Molding scores 4.35, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

6/9

Core Molding passes 6 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, all 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

1.71x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Core Molding generates $1.71 in operating cash flow ($19.2M OCF vs $11.2M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Safe

14218.0x

Core Molding earns $14218.0 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($14.2M vs $1K). This wide margin provides strong safety for debt servicing, even if earnings decline temporarily.
