Financial Profile 40/100

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

Profitability

Kezar Life Sciences has an operating margin of -844.4%, meaning the company retains $-844 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.

Leverage

100

Kezar Life Sciences carries a low D/E ratio of 0.07, meaning only $0.07 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 100/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

100

With a current ratio of 11.52, Kezar Life Sciences holds $11.52 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 100/100.

Cash Flow

While Kezar Life Sciences generated -$51.8M in operating cash flow, capex of $8K consumed most of it, leaving -$51.8M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Kezar Life Sciences generates a -80.0% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is down from -71.6% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Weak

3/9

Kezar Life Sciences passes 3 of 9 financial strength tests. 1 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.92x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Kezar Life Sciences generates $0.92 in operating cash flow (-$51.8M OCF vs -$56.0M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage At Risk

-65.7x

Kezar Life Sciences earns $-65.7 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$59.1M vs $900K). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
