Rhea AI KALU FY2025 2026-10-03

Kaiser’s 2025 earnings improved through margin expansion, but inventory growth and heavy reinvestment kept free cash flow negative.

In FY2025, net income of $113M nearly matched operating cash flow of $111.4M, indicating reported profit was largely cash-backed. Yet capital expenditures of $136.9M pushed free cash flow to -$25.5M, so reinvestment—not weak operating conversion—kept cash generation negative.

FY2025 revenue expanded while operating margin widened from 3.7% to 5.6%, showing better cost absorption as sales grew. Operating income rose from $112.2M to $188.8M, a much faster step than sales and evidence that the margin improvement was operational, not merely top-line growth.

Inventory and receivables both climbed in FY2025, absorbing working capital even as the current ratio improved to 3.0x; liquidity improved on paper, but more assets were tied inside the operating cycle. Debt-to-equity fell from 1.4x to 1.3x, so the larger asset base was not financed solely by increasing leverage.

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Kaiser Aluminum Corporation'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

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation has an operating margin of 5.6%, meaning the company retains $6 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 49/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 3.7% the prior year.

Growth

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's revenue grew 11.5% year-over-year to $3.4B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 48/100.

Leverage

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 1.28), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 19/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

With a current ratio of 2.95, Kaiser Aluminum Corporation holds $2.95 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 78/100.

Cash Flow

While Kaiser Aluminum Corporation generated $111.4M in operating cash flow, capex of $136.9M consumed most of it, leaving -$25.5M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 25/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's ROE of 13.7% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 54/100. This is up from 6.3% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone

2.88

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation scores 2.88, placing it in the grey zone between 1.81 and 2.99. This signals moderate financial risk that warrants monitoring.

Piotroski F-Score Strong

7/9

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation passes 7 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Mixed

0.99x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Kaiser Aluminum Corporation generates $0.99 in operating cash flow ($111.4M OCF vs $113.0M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.

Interest Coverage Adequate

3.77x

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation earns $3.77 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($188.8M vs $50.1M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
