Rhea AI LAMR FY2025

Stable gross margins and recurring cash flow reveal a high-fixed-cost business whose reported returns are heavily leverage-amplified.

FY2025’s earnings rebound was more accounting-led than cash-led: net income rose from $361.9M to $587.2M. Depreciation and amortization fell by $136.6M while capex rose to $180.8M, which helps explain why free cash flow did not recover in step with reported profit even though the business still generated substantial operating cash.

Across FY2021-FY2025, gross margin stayed pinned near 67.0% for five straight years. Because operating margin still moved sharply over that span, the bigger earnings swings appear to come from overhead, depreciation, and other below-gross-profit costs rather than weaker core unit economics; that is the shape of a business with steady direct economics but meaningful fixed-cost absorption.

The standout ROE of 57.3% says as much about balance-sheet leverage as about profitability, because common equity is only $1.0B. With $5.9B of liabilities and 3.1x debt-to-equity, a relatively small equity base is carrying a much larger asset structure, which amplifies shareholder returns when income is strong and makes the headline return ratio look richer than it would on a less levered capital base.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
1.47x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Lamar Advertising Co generates $1.47 in operating cash flow ($864.0M OCF vs $587.2M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate
