Based on FY2024 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores
Trueblue has an operating margin of -5.9%, meaning the company retains $-6 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 -1.3% the prior year.
Trueblue's revenue declined 17.8% year-over-year, from $1.9B to $1.6B. This contraction results in a growth score of 0/100.
Trueblue carries a low D/E ratio of 0.02, meaning only $0.02 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 100/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.
Trueblue's current ratio of 1.73 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 49/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.
While Trueblue generated -$17.1M in operating cash flow, capex of $24.2M consumed most of it, leaving -$41.2M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Trueblue passes 3 of 9 financial strength tests. 1 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Trueblue generates $0.14 in operating cash flow (-$17.1M OCF vs -$125.7M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.
