Rhea AI LAD FY2025 2026-10-04

Lithia’s expansion is becoming more debt-dependent, while thinner margins leave almost no operating cash after reinvestment.

From FY2021 to FY2025, revenue expanded while operating margin fell from 7.3% to 4.2%, indicating added scale has not translated into proportional operating profit. In FY2025, net income was $819.6M, but free cash flow was only $5.8M after capital spending, showing earnings did not translate into deployable cash.

Debt-to-equity rose from 0.7x in FY2021 to 1.5x in FY2025, showing expansion has relied more heavily on creditors. The current ratio eased from 1.4x to 1.2x, pointing to less working-capital cushion as the balance sheet grew.

Gross margin compressed from 18.7% in FY2021 to 15.2% in FY2025, indicating the larger sales base has not preserved unit economics. Inventory reached $6.1B in FY2025, making working capital a major absorber alongside declining margins.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Lithia Motors, Inc.'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

Lithia Motors, Inc. has an operating margin of 4.2%, meaning the company retains $4 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 57/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 4.3% the prior year.

Growth

Lithia Motors, Inc.'s revenue grew a modest 4.0% year-over-year to $37.6B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 65/100.

Leverage

Lithia Motors, Inc. has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 1.47), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 12/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

Lithia Motors, Inc.'s current ratio of 1.17 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 27/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow

While Lithia Motors, Inc. generated $356.7M in operating cash flow, capex of $350.9M consumed most of it, leaving $5.8M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 24/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Lithia Motors, Inc. earns a strong 12.4% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $12 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 66/100. This is up from 12.0% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone

2.33

Lithia Motors, Inc. scores 2.33, placing it in the grey zone between 1.81 and 2.99. This signals moderate financial risk that warrants monitoring.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.44x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Lithia Motors, Inc. generates $0.44 in operating cash flow ($356.7M OCF vs $819.6M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage Safe

5.79x

Lithia Motors, Inc. earns $5.79 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($1.6B vs $275.5M). This wide margin provides strong safety for debt servicing, even if earnings decline temporarily.
