Rhea AI IHG FY2025 2026-04-22

IHG's low-capex cash machine turns revenue into distributable cash, leaving a negative-equity balance sheet that looks harsher than its debt load.

Across the last three fiscal years, net income exceeded $2.1B, yet equity became more negative. With long-term debt at only $378M and return on assets above 14.0%, that combination suggests the balance sheet is being shaped more by capital returns and non-equity liabilities than by a core business struggling to fund itself.

Most recently, free cash flow of $870M sat very close to operating cash flow of $898M, a sign that accounting profit is not leaning heavily on non-cash assumptions. Capex was only 0.5% of revenue in FY2025, so cash conversion stays strong because the business does not need much annual reinvestment just to keep operating.

The current ratio stayed just under 1.0x for three straight years, showing liquidity is managed tightly rather than padded with idle current assets. Most recently, cash plus receivables reached $2.0B against $2.1B of current liabilities, which fits a model with minimal inventory and fast cash turnover rather than one where cash gets trapped in physical stock.

Financial Health Signals

Based on FY2025 annual data, averaged across the last 3 years for performance metrics (most-recent year weighted highest). How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of InterContinental Hotels Group Plc's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Growth

InterContinental Hotels Group Plc's revenue grew 5.4% year-over-year to $5.2B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 43/100.

Liquidity

InterContinental Hotels Group Plc's current ratio of 0.98 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 14/100. However, the company holds substantial cash reserves (54% of current liabilities), which buffers actual liquidity risk. Large mature operators often run tight current ratios by design.

Cash Flow

InterContinental Hotels Group Plc converts 16.8% of revenue into free cash flow ($870.0M). This strong cash generation earns a score of 66/100.

Piotroski F-Score Strong

7/9

InterContinental Hotels Group Plc passes 7 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), all 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

1.18x

For every $1 of reported earnings, InterContinental Hotels Group Plc generates $1.18 in operating cash flow ($898.0M OCF vs $759.0M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
