A near-breakeven operating reset is emerging, but a debt-heavy balance sheet still absorbs most of the benefit.
With sales essentially unchanged between the last two years, operating margin improved from-19.8% to-0.5% , so the earnings rebound came from a lighter operating cost burden rather than stronger demand. EBITDA turned positive, yet free cash flow was only$11M , meaning the turnaround has reached reported earnings faster than it has created discretionary cash after the business funds itself.
The company still shows short-term liquidity: cash ended at
Across the last three years, operating cash flow stayed positive even when net losses were severe, which usually signals that non-cash charges are doing much of the damage to accounting earnings. But routine reinvestment kept consuming a large share of that cash, so the business still needs steady internal cash generation just to stop leverage from feeling heavier.

Iheartmedia Inc has an operating margin of -0.5%, meaning the company retains $-1 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 22/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -19.8% the prior year.
Iheartmedia Inc's revenue grew a modest 0.3% year-over-year to $3.9B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 37/100.
Iheartmedia Inc has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of -2.73), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 3/100, reflecting increased financial risk.
Iheartmedia Inc's current ratio of 1.51 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 41/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.
While Iheartmedia Inc generated $92.6M in operating cash flow, capex of $81.7M consumed most of it, leaving $10.9M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 30/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Iheartmedia Inc scores -0.40, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($622.7M) relative to total liabilities ($7.0B). 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.
Iheartmedia Inc passes 4 of 7 computable financial strength tests (2 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Iheartmedia Inc generates $-0.20 in operating cash flow ($92.6M OCF vs -$472.9M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.
