Financial Profile 21/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability
0

Sweetgreen Inc has an operating margin of -20.5%, meaning the company retains $-21 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 0/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from -14.1% the prior year.

Growth
34

Sweetgreen Inc's revenue grew a modest 0.4% year-over-year to $679.5M. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 34/100.

Leverage
77

Sweetgreen Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 1.21, meaning only $1.21 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 77/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
17

Sweetgreen Inc's current ratio of 1.09 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 17/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow
0

While Sweetgreen Inc generated -$12.7M in operating cash flow, capex of $106.5M consumed most of it, leaving -$119.2M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns
0

Sweetgreen Inc generates a -37.6% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is down from -20.3% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Weak
2/9

Sweetgreen Inc passes 2 of 9 financial strength tests. 1 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Low Quality
0.09x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Sweetgreen Inc generates $0.09 in operating cash flow (-$12.7M OCF vs -$134.1M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage At Risk
-7332.5x

Sweetgreen Inc earns $-7332.5 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$139.3M vs $19K). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
