Profitability

The company is still loss-making. The trailing gross margin was 32.6%. The trailing operating margin was negative, at −13.2%, down 24.1 percentage points from a year earlier. Meanwhile, the trailing net margin was negative, at −11.5%. The company made a net loss of $155.9 million over the twelve months.

Cash flow

Cash tells a different story from the accounts. Operating cash flow over the twelve months was $181.0 million, up 1.5% on the year before. Capital spending was $24.1 million, or 1.8% of revenue. Free cash flow, operating cash flow less capital spending, was $156.9 million, up 0.7% on the year before. Free cash flow was 11.6% of revenue (the free-cash-flow margin), up 0.8 percentage points from a year earlier.

Share count

The average diluted share count fell 9.0% over the year.

In context

Measured against its own history: today’s free-cash-flow margin of 11.6% is higher than 44% of the company’s own past quarterly readings, which have ranged from 5.4% to 17.5%. Today’s operating margin of −13.2% is higher than 3% of past readings (−17.1% to 18.3%). Today’s twelve-month revenue growth rate of −6.5% is below every past reading (−4.5% to 61.5%).

The valuation angle

Our model translates these figures into value. In our model, growth 5 percentage points lower would lower the value by 27.2%, and 5 percentage points higher would raise it by 35.7%. A free-cash-flow margin 1 percentage point lower would lower it by 8.4%.
