Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores
Skillsoft Corp has an operating margin of -13.1%, meaning the company retains $-13 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 up from -55.8% the prior year.
Skillsoft Corp's revenue declined 4% year-over-year, from $553.2M to $531.0M. This contraction results in a growth score of 27/100.
Skillsoft Corp has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 9.13), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting increased financial risk.
Skillsoft Corp's current ratio of 0.86 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 12/100, which could limit financial flexibility.
Skillsoft Corp has a free cash flow margin of 5.3%, earning a moderate score of 38/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

For every $1 of reported earnings, Skillsoft Corp generates $-0.25 in operating cash flow ($30.0M OCF vs -$121.9M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.
Skillsoft Corp earns $-1.1 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$69.6M vs $63.5M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
