Heavy interest costs turned a still-profitable core into a net loser as cash conversion weakened sharply.

In the latest year, operating income dropped from $412M to $184M, while interest expense still exceeded operating profit. With operating cash flow down to $53.1M and free cash flow only $6.5M, the loss was as much about a debt-heavy structure absorbing the cushion as about weaker operations.

Gross margin fell to 40.7% from 47.4% even though selling and administrative costs moved lower, so the squeeze came higher up the income statement than overhead alone would explain. That points to a less favorable revenue/cost mix in the latest year: lower sales did not just reduce volume, they carried materially less gross profit into the rest of the cost structure.

Cash conversion weakened sharply, with operating cash equal to roughly 29% of operating income versus about 89% a year earlier. At the same time, the current ratio improved to 1.6x while debt-to-equity stayed high at 2.1x, separating decent short-term liquidity from a capital structure that still amplifies bad operating years.

-0.53x
