Rhea AI FA FY2025 2026-05-07

First Advantage’s debt-funded scale-up created a much larger, cash-generative but net-income-constrained business by FY2025.

The structural break came in FY2024, when goodwill-heavy assets jumped to $3.9B and long-term debt to $2.1B, making the balance sheet far more intangible- and debt-heavy than before. FY2025 then produced $244.3M of EBITDA while net income stayed at -$34.8M, so the enlarged platform is earning money operationally even as its post-expansion financing load still suppresses bottom-line profit.

FY2025’s return to a positive operating margin looks like fixed-cost absorption, not just cost cutting: revenue reached $1.57B while SG&A fell to $236.2M. That pattern says the larger platform is covering overhead more efficiently than it did in FY2024.

Reported earnings understated the year’s cash output: operating cash flow was $195.1M and free cash flow was $188.5M despite the net loss. Because reinvestment needs were light, the business behaves more like an asset-light service platform than a capital-hungry operator.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 54/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six. 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 First Advantage Corp'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

First Advantage Corp has an operating margin of 8.4%, meaning the company retains $8 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 46/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from -7.2% the prior year.

Growth

First Advantage Corp's revenue surged 83.0% year-over-year to $1.6B, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 93/100.

Leverage

First Advantage Corp has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 1.58), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 6/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

With a current ratio of 2.44, First Advantage Corp holds $2.44 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 68/100.

Cash Flow

First Advantage Corp converts 12.0% of revenue into free cash flow ($188.5M). This strong cash generation earns a score of 70/100.

Returns

First Advantage Corp posts a -2.6% return on equity (ROE), meaning it loses $3 for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This results in a returns score of 42/100. This is up from -8.4% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress

1.41

First Advantage Corp scores 1.41, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($3.6B) relative to total liabilities ($2.5B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Partial

5/8

First Advantage Corp passes 5 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Mixed

N/A

First Advantage Corp reported a net loss of $34.8M while generating $195.1M in operating cash flow. Operations generated cash despite the loss, but with no positive earnings behind it, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.

Interest Coverage At Risk

0.79x

First Advantage Corp earns $0.79 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($132.5M vs $168.7M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
