Rhea AI SSP FY2025

The business remains asset-heavy and debt-funded, while 2025’s revenue contraction sharply weakened profit and cash conversion.

FY2025 revenue fell to $2.2B from $2.5B, while gross margin narrowed to 40.7% from 47.4%. That combination indicates the setback involved both lower sales volume and less profit retained per dollar sold, rather than volume weakness alone.

Operating margin fell to 8.6% from 16.4%, so the revenue decline and weaker gross economics reduced operating profit more than sales alone would suggest. Debt-to-equity rose to 2.1x from 1.9x, leaving the capital structure more dependent on creditors as earnings weakened.

Operating cash flow fell from $365.7M to $53.1M, showing that FY2025’s reported operating profit did not translate into comparable cash. After $46.6M of capital spending, free cash flow was only $6.5M, so cash generation was nearly consumed by reinvestment.

Profitability
31

The E.W. Scripps Company has an operating margin of 8.6%, meaning the company retains $9 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 31/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 16.4% the prior year.

Growth
20

The E.W. Scripps Company's revenue declined 14.3% year-over-year, from $2.5B to $2.2B. This contraction results in a growth score of 20/100.

Leverage
7

The E.W. Scripps Company has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 2.07), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 7/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity
48

The E.W. Scripps Company's current ratio of 1.65 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 48/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow
41

While The E.W. Scripps Company generated $53.1M in operating cash flow, capex of $46.6M consumed most of it, leaving $6.5M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 41/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns
29

The E.W. Scripps Company posts a -8.1% return on equity (ROE), meaning it loses $8 for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This results in a returns score of 29/100. This is down from 11.1% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress
0.50

The E.W. Scripps Company scores 0.50, below the 1.81 distress threshold. 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
3/8

The E.W. Scripps Company passes 3 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 2 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Mixed
N/A

The E.W. Scripps Company reported a net loss of $100.9M while generating $53.1M in operating cash flow. Operations generated cash despite the loss, but with no positive earnings behind it, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.

Interest Coverage At Risk
0.83x

The E.W. Scripps Company earns $0.83 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($184.0M vs $221.0M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
