Rhea AI GWRS FY2025 2026-10-03

Operating cash generation is positive, but infrastructure spending and shareholder distributions keep free cash flow negative.

Operating cash flow remained positive at $20.2M in FY2025, while capital spending reached $67.3M. That gap pushed free cash flow to -$47.2M after -$10.5M in FY2024, marking an investment-heavy pattern rather than an operating cash collapse.

Despite higher FY2025 revenue, operating margin fell from 17.8% to 12.8%, indicating growth did not drop through to operating profit. Net margin likewise fell from 11.0% to 5.3%, showing that less of each sales dollar reached shareholders.

Total assets rose from $405M to $483M while revenue was only modestly higher, consistent with a capital-intensive infrastructure model. The company paid $8.2M in dividends while free cash flow was -$47.2M, so distributions exceeded internally generated cash after investment.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Global Water Resources, 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

Global Water Resources, Inc. has an operating margin of 12.8%, meaning the company retains $13 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 43/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 17.8% the prior year.

Growth

Global Water Resources, Inc.'s revenue grew 5.8% year-over-year to $55.8M, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 34/100.

Leverage

Global Water Resources, Inc. has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 1.50), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 15/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

Global Water Resources, Inc.'s current ratio of 0.76 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 43/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow

While Global Water Resources, Inc. generated $20.2M in operating cash flow, capex of $67.3M consumed most of it, leaving -$47.2M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 10/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Global Water Resources, Inc. generates a 3.4% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 22/100. This is down from 12.2% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress

0.51

Global Water Resources, Inc. scores 0.51, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($234.4M) relative to total liabilities ($396.3M). 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.

Piotroski F-Score Partial

4/8

Global Water Resources, Inc. passes 4 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 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

6.82x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Global Water Resources, Inc. generates $6.82 in operating cash flow ($20.2M OCF vs $3.0M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk

1.20x

Global Water Resources, Inc. earns $1.20 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($7.2M vs $6.0M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
