Rhea AI LBTYK FY2025 2026-07-24

Cash conversion, not revenue growth, became the key constraint as reinvestment needs turned a high-margin business cash-negative.

Between FY2024 and FY2025, free cash flow swung from $1.1B to -$132M even though the reported operating picture changed far less dramatically. The break was in cash conversion: operating cash flow slipped to $1.2B while capex rose to $1.3B, so more of the business's internally generated cash had to be consumed just to support the asset base.

Gross margins stayed high at 65.8% in FY2025, yet operating income was still slightly negative at -$23M. That combination suggests the core service economics are not the main issue; overhead, depreciation, and financing costs absorb much of the value created before it reaches bottom-line earnings.

The company is much smaller in asset terms than it was recently, with total assets down to $22.6B from $42.1B in FY2023. Debt also declined, but shareholder cushion shrank faster after large losses, leaving debt-to-equity at 0.8x and the current ratio near 1.1x, which means the balance sheet has less room to absorb another period of weak cash generation.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 37/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Liberty Global'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 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 26/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -1.4% the prior year.

Growth

Liberty Global's revenue grew 12.4% year-over-year to $4.9B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 63/100.

Leverage

Liberty Global has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 0.80), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 9/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

Liberty Global's current ratio of 1.08 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 23/100. 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 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 74/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Liberty Global generates a -72.9% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 28/100. This is down from 13.3% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress

0.70

Liberty Global scores 0.70, below the 1.81 distress threshold. This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Partial

4/8

Liberty Global passes 4 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 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 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 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.
