Rhea AI MEG FY2025

FY2025 shows fixed-cost absorption finally working, with higher volume lifting operating profit while cash conversion outran reported earnings.

The striking change is that gross margin was almost unchanged year over year at 40.3%, yet operating margin turned positive at 1.4%; that pattern points to fixed-cost absorption rather than a fundamental change in gross economics. Cash conversion quality ran ahead of GAAP profit, with operating cash flow of $107.5M and free cash flow of $91.2M even as net income stayed slightly negative, helped by receivables falling despite higher sales.

Liquidity is tighter than the free-cash-flow headline suggests: year-end cash was only $11.2M while long-term debt reached $277.1M. That means the business generated cash but did not retain much of it on the balance sheet, so funding flexibility depends more on continued cash generation than on a large cash reserve.

The asset base is acquisition-heavy, with goodwill at $466.8M against total assets of $981.3M. Because so much of the balance sheet sits in acquired intangibles, book value alone says less about operating strength than the cash-flow rebound and the swing to positive operating income.

Profitability
18

Leverage
90

Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. carries a low D/E ratio of 0.61, meaning only $0.61 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.

Altman Z-Score Distress
1.49

Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. scores 1.49, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($800.8M) relative to total liabilities ($530.1M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral
5/9

Earnings Quality Mixed
-127.49x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. generates $-127.49 in operating cash flow ($107.5M OCF vs -$843K net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.

Interest Coverage At Risk
0.6x

Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. earns $0.6 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($11.7M vs $19.6M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
