This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Rhea AI GCI FY2025

Gannett’s shrinking revenue base is being partly offset by cost reduction, but debt and working-capital pressure still shape the business.

From FY2021 to FY2025, revenue contracted 28.3% while gross margin ended near its earlier level at 38.7%, so the main adjustment has been cost reduction below gross profit rather than a higher-margin sales mix. Selling, general, and administrative expense fell from $902M to $640M, helping FY2025 net income reach $2M even as the business remained smaller.

FY2025 operating cash flow of $114M and free cash flow of $63M substantially exceeded reported net income, indicating that cash generation is currently more informative than accounting earnings. After $51M of capital expenditures, the remaining cash still covered financing outflows without requiring a reported equity raise.

The balance sheet is thinly capitalized and working-capital constrained: total liabilities of $1.68B sit against only $155M of equity, while the current ratio is 0.8%. Debt-to-equity of 570.5% also means modest changes in asset values or operating performance can have an outsized effect on equity, even though long-term debt declined to $885M.
