Rhea AI LBTYA FY2025 2026-05-01

Heavier reinvestment turned a still-cash-generating operator into negative free cash flow despite higher reported FY2025 revenue.

The standout disconnect is earnings quality: the latest year reported a -$7.1B net loss even though operating cash flow stayed positive at $1.2B, which means the headline loss says more about below-the-line items than about core cash generation. The more operational change was capital intensity—capex moved above operating cash flow, turning free cash flow from positive in the prior year to -$132M.

Over the last two years, long-term debt has been cut to $7.8B, and interest expense has fallen to $498M, so the balance sheet is carrying a lighter fixed financing load than before. But a current ratio of 1.1x means that improvement has come with only a thin short-term liquidity buffer, not with excess working capital.

Over the last two years, gross margin has compressed from 68.8% to 65.8%, suggesting newer revenue is not arriving at the same unit economics as before. With operating margin still slightly negative, higher sales are not yet dropping through enough to cover overhead and reinvestment needs.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Liberty Global Plc'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

Liberty Global Plc has an operating margin of -0.5%, meaning the company retains $-0 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 17/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -1.4% the prior year.

Growth

Liberty Global Plc's revenue grew 12.4% year-over-year to $4.9B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 48/100.

Leverage

Liberty Global Plc carries a low D/E ratio of 0.80, meaning only $0.80 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 86/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Liberty Global Plc's current ratio of 1.08 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 16/100. However, the company holds substantial cash reserves (66% of current liabilities), which buffers actual liquidity risk. Large mature operators often run tight current ratios by design.

Cash Flow

While Liberty Global Plc generated $1.2B in operating cash flow, capex of $1.3B consumed most of it, leaving -$132.0M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 56/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Liberty Global Plc generates a -72.9% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is down from 13.3% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

4/9

Liberty Global Plc passes 4 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 2 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Mixed

-0.17x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Liberty Global Plc generates $-0.17 in operating cash flow ($1.2B OCF vs -$7.1B net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.

Interest Coverage At Risk

-0.0x

Liberty Global Plc earns $-0.0 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$23.3M vs $497.5M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
