This page shows Albertsons Companies Inc (ACI) financial statements, including the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 11 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).
Albertsons’ business model turns very large sales into modest cash because thin operating margins and steady reinvestment absorb most of the engine.
Operating cash flow held near$2.7B while net income fell to$959M , showing reported earnings weakened faster than the underlying cash engine. Because capital spending also stayed near$1.9B , only about28.0% of that cash reached free cash flow, so the business converts sales into cash reliably but does not keep most of that cash after maintaining the asset base.
Gross margin slipped only from
Debt-to-equity improved from 4.9x to 2.3x, and that easing came more from equity rebuilding than from aggressive debt reduction, since long-term debt changed little. Yet the current ratio stayed below 1.0x, so short-term flexibility still relies on fast turnover and disciplined working capital rather than a large cash cushion.
