The Marcus Corporation (MCS) reported $789.8M in revenue over the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026, up 1.8% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
