Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 21/100

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

Profitability

Citi Trends has an operating margin of -5.2%, meaning the company retains $-5 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 11/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from -2.6% the prior year.

Growth

Citi Trends's revenue grew a modest 0.7% year-over-year to $753.1M. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 34/100.

Leverage

Citi Trends has a moderate D/E ratio of 3.03. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 40/100.

Liquidity

Citi Trends's current ratio of 1.12 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 17/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow

While Citi Trends generated -$3.8M in operating cash flow, capex of $10.1M consumed most of it, leaving -$14.0M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 20/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Citi Trends generates a -39.8% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is down from -7.7% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Weak

3/9

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

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.09x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Citi Trends generates $0.09 in operating cash flow (-$3.8M OCF vs -$43.2M 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

-123.8x

Citi Trends earns $-123.8 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$39.5M vs $319K). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
