Frontier Communi Financials
Frontier Communi (FYBR) reported $5.9B in revenue for fiscal year 2024, up 3.2% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Frontier’s core business throws off cash, but heavy infrastructure reinvestment and rising interest costs absorb it before free cash appears.
From FY2022 through FY2024, operating cash flow hovered around$1.5B even as annual capex stayed above$2.7B , so the business kept generating cash before reinvestment but not after it. At the same time, gross margin improved from62.5% to64.5% , which means the swing from profit to loss was driven less by service economics than by financing and investment demands.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Frontier Communi'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.
Frontier Communi has an operating margin of 5.9%, meaning the company retains $6 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 67/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is down from 8.6% the prior year.
Frontier Communi's revenue grew a modest 3.2% year-over-year to $5.9B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 35/100.
Frontier Communi has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 2.34), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 10/100, reflecting increased financial risk.
Frontier Communi's current ratio of 0.55 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 6/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.
While Frontier Communi generated $1.6B in operating cash flow, capex of $2.8B consumed most of it, leaving -$1.2B in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 11/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Frontier Communi posts a -6.5% return on equity (ROE), meaning it loses $7 for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This results in a returns score of 52/100. This is down from 0.5% the prior year.
Frontier Communi scores 0.69, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($9.6B) relative to total liabilities ($15.7B). 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.
Frontier Communi passes 4 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.
Frontier Communi reported a net loss of $322.0M while generating $1.6B 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.
Frontier Communi earns $0.44 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($353.0M vs $804.0M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
