How the Company Makes Money

KSS Ltd. Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Financial quality is very weak: revenue is contracting and volatile, operating profitability is persistently negative with deeply negative net margins, operating/free cash flow are consistently negative, and balance sheet risk is elevated due to extremely high leverage and a thin equity base. Recent positives (gross margin rebound and smaller cash outflow) have not yet translated into sustainable profitability or cash generation.
Income Statement
12
Very Negative
Revenue has been volatile and is contracting most recently (FY2025 down ~18% YoY, following a sharp decline in FY2024), pointing to weak demand/monetization consistency. Profitability is structurally poor: the company has posted operating losses in every year except FY2020, with FY2025 net margin deeply negative (about -144%) and negative EBITDA margins across the last several periods. A key positive is that gross margin rebounded in FY2025 (~42%) versus a very weak FY2024 (~7%), but improved gross profitability has not translated into operating or bottom-line improvement due to heavy costs and losses.
Balance Sheet
8
Very Negative
Leverage and capital structure are major red flags. Debt-to-equity has swung from moderate levels to extremely high in FY2025 (about 28.8x), driven by a sharp drop in equity (to ~15.3M) while debt remains very elevated (~440.6M). Returns on equity are consistently negative and deteriorated again in FY2025, signaling ongoing value erosion for shareholders. Total assets are sizable, but the balance sheet appears fragile given the thin equity cushion and high leverage.
Cash Flow
10
Very Negative
Cash generation remains weak: operating cash flow is negative in every year shown, including FY2025 (slightly negative) and especially FY2022–FY2023 (materially negative). Free cash flow is also consistently negative, indicating the business is not self-funding and may require continued external support. While the most recent year shows a much smaller cash outflow versus prior years, the overall multi-year pattern is persistent cash burn with limited evidence of sustained improvement.
