MGE Energy Inc (MGEE) reported $743.7M in revenue for fiscal year 2025, up 9.9% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
MGE Energy is growing earnings, but heavier capital investment is absorbing operating cash and tightening short-term balance-sheet flexibility.
The key operating shift is cash conversion after reinvestment: FY2025 operating cash flow was$263M against capital expenditures of$343M . That gap pushed free cash flow to-$80.0M , versus$40.9M in FY2024, so accounting growth did not translate into spendable cash after investment.
Before capital spending, earnings converted into cash: operating cash flow equaled
The balance sheet is becoming more obligation-heavy: total liabilities reached

MGE Energy Inc has an operating margin of 22.9%, meaning the company retains $23 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 70/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is up from 21.6% the prior year.
MGE Energy Inc's revenue grew 9.9% year-over-year to $743.7M, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 46/100.
MGE Energy Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 0.61, meaning only $0.61 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.
MGE Energy Inc's current ratio of 0.77 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 45/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.
While MGE Energy Inc generated $263.2M in operating cash flow, capex of $343.2M consumed most of it, leaving -$80.0M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 65/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
MGE Energy Inc earns a strong 10.4% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $10 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 79/100. This is up from 9.8% the prior year.
MGE Energy Inc scores 1.66, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is pulled down most by current liabilities exceeding current assets by $68.2M against total assets of $3.2B. 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.
MGE Energy Inc passes 5 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data).
