Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 38/100

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

Profitability

Lithia Mtrs 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 32/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 4.3% the prior year.

Growth

Lithia Mtrs Inc's revenue grew a modest 4.0% year-over-year to $37.6B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 40/100.

Leverage

Lithia Mtrs Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 1.47, meaning only $1.47 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 72/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Lithia Mtrs Inc's current ratio of 1.17 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 19/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow

While Lithia Mtrs 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 25/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.44x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Lithia Mtrs 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.
