Nine Energy Serv Financials
Financial Health Signals
Based on FY2024 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores
Nine Energy Serv has an operating margin of 1.6%, meaning the company retains $2 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 8/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from 2.9% the prior year.
Nine Energy Serv's revenue declined 9.1% year-over-year, from $609.5M to $554.1M. This contraction results in a growth score of 3/100.
Nine Energy Serv's current ratio of 2.09 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 64/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.
While Nine Energy Serv generated $13.2M in operating cash flow, capex of $14.8M consumed most of it, leaving -$1.6M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Nine Energy Serv scores -1.42, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($25.4M) relative to total liabilities ($426.1M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.
Nine Energy Serv passes 3 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Nine Energy Serv generates $-0.32 in operating cash flow ($13.2M OCF vs -$41.1M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.
Nine Energy Serv earns $0.2 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($8.9M vs $51.3M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
