Rhea AI QUAD FY2025

A shrink-to-strength model is visible here, with cash generation and cost reset rebuilding profits on a smaller revenue base.

Recent years show margin repair without top-line help: gross margin widened from 18.6% to 21.6% even as sales contracted. Meanwhile, total liabilities fell from $1.53B to $1.12B, suggesting the latest earnings rebound came from a leaner cost structure and debt paydown, not from recovering volume.

Cash conversion has been sturdier than headline earnings suggest: in the latest year, operating cash flow reached $95.9M against net income of $27.0M. Because free cash flow also stayed positive through the prior loss years, depreciation and working-capital release appear to be doing real economic work rather than merely flattering accounting profit.

Liquidity remains tight even after the improvement: the current ratio stayed below 1.0x in every shown year and was 0.9x most recently. That means the balance sheet is being repaired with recurring internal cash generation, while the smaller cash balance leaves less room for a stumble in day-to-day operations.

Profitability
46

Leverage
37

Quad / Graphics Inc has a moderate D/E ratio of 2.51. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 37/100.

Liquidity
14

Quad / Graphics Inc's current ratio of 0.86 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 14/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Piotroski F-Score Partial
6/8

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
3.55x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Quad / Graphics Inc generates $3.55 in operating cash flow ($95.9M OCF vs $27.0M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk
1.92x
