Ironwood’s recent recovery is a cost-reset story, where cash-positive operations survived even as the revenue base kept shrinking.
From FY2023 to FY2025, revenue fell from$442.7M to$296.2M , yet operating income swung from-$945.4M to$98.5M because R&D dropped from$1.1B to$95.1M and SG&A fell to$82.3M . That ties the turnaround more to a spending reset after an unusually large FY2023 cost spike than to a stronger sales engine.

Ironwood has an operating margin of 33.3%, meaning the company retains $33 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 0/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from 26.5% the prior year.
Ironwood's revenue declined 15.7% year-over-year, from $351.4M to $296.2M. This contraction results in a growth score of 3/100.
Ironwood carries a low D/E ratio of -2.52, meaning only $-2.52 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 90/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.
Ironwood's current ratio of 1.13 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 18/100. However, the company holds substantial cash reserves (89% of current liabilities), which buffers actual liquidity risk. Large mature operators often run tight current ratios by design.
Ironwood converts 42.9% of revenue into free cash flow ($127.0M). This strong cash generation earns a score of 100/100.
Ironwood scores -3.65, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($645.3M) relative to total liabilities ($658.7M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.
Ironwood passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Ironwood generates $5.29 in operating cash flow ($127.0M OCF vs $24.0M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
Ironwood earns $3.0 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($98.5M vs $32.7M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
