Profitability
15

Green Plains has an operating margin of -3.2%, meaning the company retains $-3 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 15/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from -1.9% the prior year.

Growth
8

Green Plains's revenue declined 14.9% year-over-year, from $2.5B to $2.1B. This contraction results in a growth score of 8/100.

Leverage
92

Green Plains carries a low D/E ratio of 0.47, meaning only $0.47 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 92/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
32

Cash Flow
34

Green Plains has a free cash flow margin of 3.5%, earning a moderate score of 34/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Earnings Quality Mixed
-0.91x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Green Plains generates $-0.91 in operating cash flow ($110.9M OCF vs -$121.3M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.

Interest Coverage At Risk
-0.9x
