Rhea AI NWE FY2025

Capital-intensive growth is increasingly funded externally, while rising revenue no longer converts cleanly into earnings.

Revenue reached $1.6B in FY2025, but net margin compressed to 11.2% from the prior year; growth therefore produced less bottom-line profit. Interest expense also rose to $150M, linking the margin squeeze to a heavier financing burden rather than revenue weakness alone.

Operating cash flow of $394M was more than twice net income of $181M, a cash-conversion pattern driven partly by non-cash charges rather than reported profit alone. Yet capital spending exceeded operating cash flow and left free cash flow at -$130M; earnings convert to cash, but that cash is reinvested before it can support dividends or debt reduction.

Total assets reached $8.5B while long-term debt reached $3.2B, showing that expansion requires substantial external capital rather than being financed solely from retained operating resources. Debt-to-equity rose from 0.9x to 1.1x, so the financing mix became more leveraged as the asset base expanded.

Profitability
68

Leverage

NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc.'s current ratio of 0.72 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 37/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow
58

While NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc. generated $394.5M in operating cash flow, capex of $524.5M consumed most of it, leaving -$130.0M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 58/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc.'s ROE of 6.3% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 56/100. This is down from 7.8% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress
0.90

NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc. scores 0.90, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($4.3B) relative to total liabilities ($5.6B). 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.

Piotroski F-Score Partial
5/8

NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc. passes 5 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
2.18x

For every $1 of reported earnings, NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc. generates $2.18 in operating cash flow ($394.5M OCF vs $181.1M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate
2.17x

NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc. earns $2.17 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($325.8M vs $150.4M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
