Rhea AI DAR FY2025 2026-10-25

Darling's revenue and gross profit recovered in FY2025, but operating costs left earnings near breakeven while cash generation strengthened.

The key split is between earnings and reinvestment: from FY2023 to FY2025, operating income fell 71.2% while free cash flow rose 97.6%. That divergence coincided with capital expenditures falling 31.5%, pointing to lighter reinvestment rather than stronger operating economics. In FY2025, operating cash flow was $1.1B against net income of $63M, making reported cash generation unusually disconnected from accounting profit.

Gross profit grew 15.3% while revenue grew 7.4%, indicating the rebound carried better gross economics. Yet operating income fell 41.6% and operating margin dropped 3.7 percentage points, so that improvement was absorbed below gross profit rather than converted into earnings.

Debt-to-equity declined from 0.9x in FY2024 to 0.8x in FY2025, showing a modestly less leveraged capital structure. With the current ratio also rising to 1.5x, short-term balance-sheet coverage improved even as earnings weakened.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 40/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group, and the overall is the average of the dimensions that can be computed. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of DARLING INGREDIENTS INC.'s business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

DARLING INGREDIENTS INC. has an operating margin of 4.5%, meaning the company retains $4 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 57/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 8.2% the prior year.

Growth

DARLING INGREDIENTS INC.'s revenue grew 7.4% year-over-year to $6.1B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 16/100.

Leverage

DARLING INGREDIENTS INC. has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 0.82), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 11/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

DARLING INGREDIENTS INC.'s current ratio of 1.50 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 41/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone

2.25

DARLING INGREDIENTS INC. scores 2.25, placing it in the grey zone between 1.81 and 2.99. The largest contribution to the score comes from a market capitalization of $8.8B against total liabilities of $5.5B. This signals moderate financial risk that warrants monitoring.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

16.87x

For every $1 of reported earnings, DARLING INGREDIENTS INC. generates $16.87 in operating cash flow ($1.1B OCF vs $62.8M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk

1.23x

DARLING INGREDIENTS INC. earns $1.23 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($273.4M vs $222.3M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
