Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 23/100

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

Profitability

Culp Inc has an operating margin of -8.6%, meaning the company retains $-9 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 3/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from -5.0% the prior year.

Growth

Culp Inc's revenue declined 5.4% year-over-year, from $225.3M to $213.2M. This contraction results in a growth score of 24/100.

Leverage

Culp Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 1.19, meaning only $1.19 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 78/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Culp Inc's current ratio of 1.86 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

While Culp Inc generated -$17.6M in operating cash flow, capex of $2.9M consumed most of it, leaving -$20.6M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 1/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Culp Inc generates a -33.1% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is down from -20.0% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Weak

1/9

Culp Inc passes 1 of 9 financial strength tests. 1 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.92x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Culp Inc generates $0.92 in operating cash flow (-$17.6M OCF vs -$19.1M 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

-79.6x

Culp Inc earns $-79.6 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$18.4M vs $231K). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
