Financial Profile 34/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability

Kronos Worldwide Inc has an operating margin of -2.0%, meaning the company retains $-2 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 18/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from 6.5% the prior year.

Growth

Kronos Worldwide Inc's revenue declined 1.5% year-over-year, from $1.9B to $1.9B. This contraction results in a growth score of 31/100.

Leverage

Kronos Worldwide Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 0.74, meaning only $0.74 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 87/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Kronos Worldwide Inc's current ratio of 2.70 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 51/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow

While Kronos Worldwide Inc generated $2.5M in operating cash flow, capex of $42.9M consumed most of it, leaving -$40.4M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 20/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Kronos Worldwide Inc generates a -14.8% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is down from 10.5% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

5/9

Kronos Worldwide Inc passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Mixed

-0.02x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Kronos Worldwide Inc generates $-0.02 in operating cash flow ($2.5M OCF vs -$110.9M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.

Interest Coverage At Risk

-0.7x

Kronos Worldwide Inc earns $-0.7 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$36.5M vs $53.0M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
