Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 37/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability

Acco Brands Corp has an operating margin of 6.0%, meaning the company retains $6 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 36/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from -2.2% the prior year.

Growth

Acco Brands Corp's revenue declined 8.5% year-over-year, from $1.7B to $1.5B. This contraction results in a growth score of 19/100.

Leverage

Acco Brands Corp carries a low D/E ratio of 1.21, meaning only $1.21 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 77/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Acco Brands Corp's current ratio of 1.61 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 28/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Returns

Acco Brands Corp generates a 6.2% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 25/100. This is up from -16.8% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress

0.64

Acco Brands Corp scores 0.64, below the 1.81 distress threshold. This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

6/9

Acco Brands Corp passes 6 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

1.66x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Acco Brands Corp generates $1.66 in operating cash flow ($68.7M OCF vs $41.3M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate

2.0x

Acco Brands Corp earns $2.0 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($92.3M vs $45.8M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
