Universal Technical Institute, Inc. (UTI) reported $883.6M in revenue over the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026, up 9.1% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Universal Technical Institute has converted rapid expansion into higher margins and cash generation, while reinvestment remains a meaningful use of cash.
The 2025 margin step-up was broad: operating margin reached10.0% while net margin reached7.5% , indicating more of each additional revenue dollar reached earnings. Yet operating cash flow of$97.3M translated into free cash flow of$55.4M , showing that capital spending continues to absorb a substantial portion of internally generated cash.
The balance sheet became less debt-dependent: debt-to-equity fell from 0.5x to 0.3x as equity expanded, while short-term coverage stayed roughly unchanged. This points to stronger capitalization rather than a much larger liquidity cushion.
Receivables grew faster than revenue between FY2024 and FY2025, which puts more cash into customer balances as the business expands; operating cash flow still exceeded net income, so that working-capital investment has not prevented accounting profits from converting into cash. The sharp FY2024 increase in shares outstanding also means part of the subsequent per-share improvement reflects a larger earnings base, not just operating gains.
