Rhea AI MCS FY2025

The Marcus Corporation is generating accounting profit again, but heavy reinvestment leaves little free cash and short-term funding remains tight.

In FY2025, net income of $12.7M coexisted with only $989K of free cash flow, so reported profit translated poorly into cash after investment. That cash conversion weakened from FY2024, when free cash flow was $24.7M while capital expenditures were $79.2M, indicating reinvestment—not accounting profitability—is constraining distributable cash.

Revenue reached $758M in FY2025, while operating margin was 2.3%. That margin is roughly half FY2023’s 4.7%, suggesting costs or mix absorbed much of the intervening sales improvement rather than scale flowing through to profit.

Debt-to-equity was 0.3x in FY2025, while total liabilities had fallen to $557M, reducing long-term balance-sheet leverage. Yet current assets were only $64.6M against a 0.4x current ratio, so short-term obligations remain much tighter than the overall leverage picture suggests.

Profitability
30

The Marcus Corporation has an operating margin of 2.3%, meaning the company retains $2 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 30/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 2.2% the prior year.

Growth
38

The Marcus Corporation's revenue grew a modest 3.1% year-over-year to $758.5M. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 38/100.

Leverage
37

The Marcus Corporation has a moderate D/E ratio of 0.35. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 37/100.

Liquidity
3

The Marcus Corporation's current ratio of 0.40 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 3/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow
36

While The Marcus Corporation generated $84.2M in operating cash flow, capex of $83.2M consumed most of it, leaving $989K in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 36/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns
31

The Marcus Corporation's ROE of 2.8% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 31/100. This is up from -1.7% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone
1.94

The Marcus Corporation scores 1.94, placing it in the grey zone between 1.81 and 2.99. This signals moderate financial risk that warrants monitoring.

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

Piotroski F-Score Partial
5/7

The Marcus Corporation passes 5 of 7 computable financial strength tests (2 of the nine could not be computed from available data). All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
6.63x

For every $1 of reported earnings, The Marcus Corporation generates $6.63 in operating cash flow ($84.2M OCF vs $12.7M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk
1.49x

The Marcus Corporation earns $1.49 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($17.1M vs $11.5M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.

The Marcus Corporation (MCS) scores 29 out of 100 on our Financial Health Score, indicating weak standing within its operating companies peer group. The score is a 0-100 composite of six dimensions (Profitability, Growth, Leverage, Liquidity, Cash Flow, Returns), each ranked as a percentile relative to companies in the same scoring family (banks against banks, REITs against REITs, and so on) rather than across all industries. It rates the quality of the business, not whether the stock is fairly priced, and is not financial advice. Learn more in our complete guide to financial health indicators.
