Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 58/100

Based on FY2024 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability

100

Lamar Advertising Co has an operating margin of 24.1%, meaning the company retains $24 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 100/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is down from 32.0% the prior year.

Growth

Lamar Advertising Co's revenue grew a modest 4.6% year-over-year to $2.2B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 42/100.

Leverage

Lamar Advertising Co has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 2.83), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 6/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

Lamar Advertising Co's current ratio of 0.55 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 2/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow

100

Lamar Advertising Co converts 33.9% of revenue into free cash flow ($748.3M). This strong cash generation earns a score of 100/100.

Returns

100

Lamar Advertising Co earns a strong 34.5% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $35 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 100/100. This is down from 40.7% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress

1.77

Lamar Advertising Co scores 1.77, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($13.4B) relative to total liabilities ($5.5B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Piotroski F-Score Strong

7/9

Lamar Advertising Co passes 7 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, all 2 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

2.41x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Lamar Advertising Co generates $2.41 in operating cash flow ($873.6M OCF vs $361.9M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate

3.1x

Lamar Advertising Co earns $3.1 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($532.0M vs $171.7M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
