Key ratios

Ratios compare two numbers so companies of different sizes can be compared. Each one only combines figures from the same period or date.

Operating margin
0.3%
Year ended December 31, 2025
After also paying to run the business (staff, offices, research, marketing), about $0 of every $100 was left.
What it is: Operating income as a share of sales: of each $100 of sales, what's left after paying for what was sold and for running the business, before interest and tax.
Profit margin
-4.5%
Year ended December 31, 2025
After every cost, it lost about $5 for every $100 of sales.
What it is: Net income as a share of sales: what's left after every cost, including interest and tax. A 10% net profit margin means $10 of final profit for every $100 of sales.
Earnings per share
-$0.40
The year before-$0.33
Latest year-$0.40
Year ended December 31, 2025
Split across all its shares, the year's loss comes to $0.40 per share.
What it is: Net income divided by the average number of shares during the period. "Diluted" EPS also counts shares that could still be created, for example from staff stock awards, so it's usually slightly lower.
Return on equity
-3.7%
Year ended December 31, 2025
For every $100 that belongs to shareholders on paper, it made about $-4 of profit in a year.
What it is: Net income for a year divided by the average shareholders' equity over that year. A 20% ROE means $20 of profit for every $100 of owners' money in the business.
Free cash flow
-$217.2 million
Cash its business brought in (operating cash flow)$359.6 million
Spent on buildings and equipment (capital expenditure)−$576.8 million
Left over as spare cash (free cash flow)-$217.2 million
Year ended December 31, 2025
It spent more on running the business and on buildings and equipment than the business brought in, so it had to use savings or borrow.

Assets per $1 owed
$1.70
What it owns (assets)$7.5 billion
What it owes (liabilities)$4.4 billion
On September 30, 2026
Everything it owns (buildings, cash, stock, money owed to it) is worth about $1.70 for every $1 it owes in total.
What it is: Everything the company owes: loans, bonds, bills to suppliers, taxes due, and other obligations.

A percentage change isn't meaningful here, because one of the two figures was a loss or zero.

Left out on purpose: gross profit, long-term debt, current assets, current liabilities. The company either doesn't report these in SEC's standard data, or the latest figure isn't available yet. candor leaves a number out rather than guess.
