Financial Health Signals
Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores
Deluxe Corp has an operating margin of 10.9%, meaning the company retains $11 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 54/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 9.1% the prior year.
Deluxe Corp's revenue grew a modest 0.5% year-over-year to $2.1B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 30/100.
Deluxe Corp has a moderate D/E ratio of 2.08. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 34/100.
Deluxe Corp's current ratio of 1.04 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 21/100, which could limit financial flexibility.
Deluxe Corp has a free cash flow margin of 8.2%, earning a moderate score of 41/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.
Deluxe Corp's ROE of 12.1% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 48/100. This is up from 8.5% the prior year.
Deluxe Corp scores 1.61, below the 1.81 distress threshold. This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.
Deluxe Corp passes 6 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Deluxe Corp generates $3.30 in operating cash flow ($270.6M OCF vs $82.1M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
Deluxe Corp earns $1.9 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($232.4M vs $122.0M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
