McGraw Hill's model throws off high gross profit, but the more important mechanic is cash conversion normalizing after a brief surge.
With sales essentially flat in the latest year, net income moved from-$85.8M to$78.7M . Yet operating and free cash flow both fell sharply, suggesting prior-year cash was helped by working-capital timing and that the profit recovery did not bring matching cash conversion.

McGraw Hill has an operating margin of 13.2%, meaning the company retains $13 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 74/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is down from 14.6% the prior year.
McGraw Hill's revenue grew a modest 0.1% year-over-year to $2.1B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 44/100.

McGraw Hill earns a strong 10.8% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $11 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 69/100. This is up from -30.6% the prior year.
McGraw Hill scores 0.45, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($2.2B) relative to total liabilities ($4.8B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.
