Skillsoft Financial Statement Overview

Summary

Skillsoft faces significant financial challenges, with declining revenues, negative profit margins, and high leverage. While there is some improvement in cash flow generation, the company's financial stability is compromised by high debt levels and ongoing losses.

Income Statement

Skillsoft's income statement reveals significant challenges, with declining revenue and negative profit margins. The TTM data shows a gross profit margin of 80.63%, which is strong, but the net profit margin is deeply negative at -22.24%, indicating substantial losses. The EBIT and EBITDA margins are also negative, reflecting operational inefficiencies. Revenue has decreased by 64.5% in the TTM period, highlighting a concerning trend.

Balance Sheet

The balance sheet shows a high debt-to-equity ratio of 13.61 in the TTM period, indicating heavy reliance on debt financing. The return on equity is negative, suggesting that the company is not generating returns for shareholders. Although the equity ratio is not explicitly calculated, the low stockholders' equity relative to total assets suggests limited financial stability.

Cash Flow

Cash flow analysis shows some positive aspects, with a significant free cash flow growth rate of 55.64% in the TTM period. However, the operating cash flow to net income ratio is low at 0.18, indicating that cash generation from operations is weak relative to net losses. The free cash flow to net income ratio is 0.80, suggesting some ability to cover losses with free cash flow.
