Rhea AI ULH FY2025

FY2025 exposed a business where weaker revenue, heavier financing costs, and capital spending overwhelmed otherwise positive operating cash generation.

In FY2025, operating cash flow was $183M despite a net loss of $99.9M, indicating noncash charges—not earnings—supported cash generation. Capital spending consumed 122.5% of operating cash flow, leaving free cash flow at -$41.1M; reported cash generation therefore did not fund reinvestment.

FY2025 revenue fell 15.6% and operating margin fell 15.1 percentage points. That pushed the core operation to an operating loss of $64.3M, so the downturn reached operating performance rather than being confined to financing.

Debt-to-equity was 1.3x in FY2025 versus 0.6x in FY2023, while interest expense rose 42.2% from FY2024. With liabilities at 69.5% of assets and a current ratio of 1.2x, financing now absorbs more of the business's capacity while short-term balance-sheet cushion is thinner.

Profitability
40

Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. has an operating margin of -4.1%, meaning the company loses $4 on every $100 of revenue. This results in a profitability score of 40/100. This is down from 11.0% the prior year.

Growth
21

Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc.'s revenue declined 15.6% year-over-year, from $1.8B to $1.6B. This contraction results in a growth score of 21/100.

Leverage
6

Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 1.26), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 6/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity
30

Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc.'s current ratio of 1.20 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 30/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow
19

While Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. generated $183.0M in operating cash flow, capex of $224.2M consumed most of it, leaving -$41.1M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 19/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns
45

Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. posts a -18.5% return on equity (ROE), meaning it loses $18 for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This results in a returns score of 45/100. This is down from 20.1% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress
1.50

Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. scores 1.50, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is pulled down most by an operating loss of $64.3M against total assets of $1.8B. 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
2/8

Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. passes 2 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), the one computable operating efficiency signal (asset turnover improving) does not pass.

Earnings Quality Mixed
N/A

Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. reported a net loss of $99.9M while generating $183.0M 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
N/A

Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. reported an operating loss of $64.3M against $49.0M 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.
