Rhea AI KALU FY2025 2026-08-29

Margin expansion reached the income statement in FY2025, but working capital absorbed cash while leverage remained structurally material.

FY2025 net income of $113M exceeded operating cash flow of $111M, indicating that reported earnings were not converting cleanly into cash. Inventory reached $725M and receivables $423M, a working-capital build that helps explain the conversion gap.

Revenue reached $3.4B in FY2025, giving the business a larger base over which to spread operating costs. Operating margin widened from 3.7% to 5.6%, showing that the improvement reached after production costs rather than stopping at gross profit.

Free cash flow was -$25.5M even as capital expenditures fell to $137M, so reinvestment still exceeded internally generated cash after working-capital demands. Debt-to-equity eased from 1.4x to 1.3x, indicating equity grew faster than debt rather than debt reduction driving the shift.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 46/100

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. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Kaiser Aluminum'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 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 51/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 3.7% the prior year.

Growth

Kaiser Aluminum'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 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 18/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

With a current ratio of 2.95, Kaiser Aluminum holds $2.95 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 76/100.

Cash Flow

While Kaiser Aluminum 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 28/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Kaiser Aluminum's ROE of 13.7% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 56/100. This is up from 6.3% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone

2.91

Piotroski F-Score Strong

7/9

Kaiser Aluminum 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 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 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.
