Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 37/100

Based on FY2024 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability

Allete Inc has an operating margin of 10.5%, meaning the company retains $10 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 45/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 9.6% the prior year.

Growth

Allete Inc's revenue declined 18.6% year-over-year, from $1.9B to $1.5B. This contraction results in a growth score of 2/100.

Leverage

Allete Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 0.60, meaning only $0.60 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 90/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Allete Inc's current ratio of 1.08 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 17/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow

Allete Inc has a free cash flow margin of 6.7%, earning a moderate score of 42/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Returns

Allete Inc generates a 6.3% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 25/100. This is down from 8.8% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress

1.23

Allete Inc scores 1.23, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($3.9B) relative to total liabilities ($3.4B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

4/9

Allete Inc passes 4 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

2.55x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Allete Inc generates $2.55 in operating cash flow ($457.1M OCF vs $179.3M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk

2.0x

Allete Inc earns $2.0 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($160.1M vs $81.7M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
