Rhea AI TNLX FY2024 2026-10-04

Trans-Lux briefly reached profitability in FY2022, but operating losses resumed, liquidity remained limited, and negative equity deepened as revenue contracted.

A net loss of $4.1M still coincided with positive operating cash flow of $622K, so the reported cash result did not represent repeatable earnings conversion. The following year returned to operating cash flow of -$1.0M and FCF of -$1.0M, linking the earnings shortfall to cash consumption.

Gross-margin recovery reached 10.6% by the latest year from negative territory, but the improvement did not reach operating profit. SG&A reached $4.1M against gross profit of $1.4M. Operating margin nevertheless remained -21.5%, indicating gross-margin recovery alone has not repaired the model.

Liabilities reached $25.1M while assets were $7.8M, so liabilities were more than three times the asset base. Negative equity of -$17.3M and a 0.2x current ratio show that the financing structure is highly reliant on obligations relative to near-term resources. Reported liquidity equaled 4.4 months of the latest annual operating outflow, while financing cash flow of $1.2M helped offset negative operating cash flow.

Financial health score not available

TRANS LUX CORP does not currently provide enough eligible data for a peer-relative financial health score, so none is published. The signals and metrics below are current.

Altman Z-Score Distress

-11.22

TRANS LUX CORP scores -11.22, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($13K) relative to total liabilities ($25.1M). 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 Neutral

4/9

TRANS LUX CORP passes 4 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality No Cash Backing

N/A

TRANS LUX CORP reported a net loss of $3.5M while operations used $1.0M of cash. With neither figure positive, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.

Interest Coverage At Risk

N/A

TRANS LUX CORP reported an operating loss of $2.8M against $908K in interest expense. There is no operating profit to cover interest, so interest must be met from cash reserves or from financing rather than from operations.

Not reported in any period shown, so not listed: Return on Equity, Debt-to-Equity.

Note: Shareholder equity is negative (-$17.3M), which causes debt-to-equity and return on equity ratios to appear negative or not meaningful. This can occur from accumulated losses or large share buyback programs.

Note: The current ratio is below 1.0 (0.21), indicating current liabilities exceed current assets, which may suggest potential short-term liquidity concerns.
