Rhea AI GEF FY2025 2026-10-04

FY2025 shows a smaller, less debt-heavy business whose reported profit jumped, but operating cash generation weakened sharply.

Earnings quality diverged in FY2025: net income reached $840M while operating income fell to $168M, and operating cash flow dropped to $59M from $356M in FY2024. That combination means the reported profit increase was not matched by cash produced through ordinary operations, so net income alone overstates the period’s operating momentum.

Margin expansion stopped at the gross-profit line: gross margin recovered to 22.2% from 20.7%, but operating margin fell to 4.3% from 7.8%. With selling, general, and administrative expense reaching $602M while FY2025 revenue was $3.93B, more of each gross-profit dollar was absorbed before operating earnings.

The balance sheet became materially less debt-dependent: debt-to-equity fell to 0.3x from 1.3x, while total liabilities declined to $2.85B from $4.57B. The simultaneous $1.68B investing cash inflow and $1.73B financing cash outflow indicate a major balance-sheet reshaping, not simply routine annual cash generation.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 26/100

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 Greif, 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

Greif, Inc. has an operating margin of 4.3%, meaning the company retains $4 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 17/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from 7.8% the prior year.

Growth

Greif, Inc.'s revenue declined 9.7% year-over-year, from $4.4B to $3.9B. This contraction results in a growth score of 21/100.

Leverage

Greif, Inc. has a moderate D/E ratio of 0.31. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 36/100.

Liquidity

Greif, Inc.'s current ratio of 1.27 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 32/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Piotroski F-Score Partial

6/8

Greif, Inc. passes 6 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 2 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.07x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Greif, Inc. generates $0.07 in operating cash flow ($58.6M OCF vs $840.0M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage Adequate

2.99x

Greif, Inc. earns $2.99 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($167.6M vs $56.1M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
