GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY (GHC) reported $4.9B in revenue for fiscal year 2025, up 2.5% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Graham Holdings is a diversified, modest-margin operator whose balance sheet strengthened while cash generation remained tied to operating performance.
FY2024’s net-income spike to$725M did not persist in FY2025, even though operating income rose to$235M . That separation, alongside operating cash flow easing from$407M to$347M , suggests 2024 earnings included an unusually favorable below-operating-line contribution and that 2025 cash conversion was weaker—not that the core operation reversed.
The business is a modest-margin operator: revenue reached
The balance sheet became less leverage-dependent: total assets reached

GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY's revenue grew a modest 2.5% year-over-year to $4.9B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 52/100.
GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY has a moderate D/E ratio of 0.15. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 43/100.
GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY's current ratio of 1.75 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 51/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.
