Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores
Fiscalnote Hldg has an operating margin of -55.6%, meaning the company retains $-56 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 0/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from -26.6% the prior year.
Fiscalnote Hldg's revenue declined 26% year-over-year, from $120.3M to $89.0M. This contraction results in a growth score of 0/100.
Fiscalnote Hldg has a moderate D/E ratio of 2.03. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 61/100.
Fiscalnote Hldg's current ratio of 1.03 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 15/100, which could limit financial flexibility.
While Fiscalnote Hldg generated -$11.4M in operating cash flow, capex of $7.2M consumed most of it, leaving -$18.6M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Fiscalnote Hldg generates a -105.3% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is down from 9.7% the prior year.

For every $1 of reported earnings, Fiscalnote Hldg generates $0.18 in operating cash flow (-$11.4M OCF vs -$65.2M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.
Fiscalnote Hldg earns $-82.5 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$49.5M vs $600K). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
