Technicals add further downside risk with price below key moving averages and negative MACD, while valuation offers limited support due to negative earnings and no indicated dividend yield.

How the Company Makes Money

Earthworks Industries Financial Statement Overview

Summary

Financials indicate very high risk: reported revenue is 0 in recent periods, operating results are deeply negative (large operating losses/negative EBITDA), operating and free cash flow are consistently negative, and stockholders’ equity is negative in 2024 and TTM—raising funding and balance-sheet risk despite some TTM free-cash-flow improvement.

Income Statement

Income statement quality is very weak. Across the available periods (including TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months)), revenue is reported at 0 and operating profitability is deeply negative, with large operating losses and negative EBITDA in both 2024 annual and TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months). Net losses are sizable in 2024 and TTM, following a one-off profitable year in 2023 that did not translate into sustained operating improvement. Overall, profitability and earnings stability are poor, and the lack of reported revenue materially limits confidence in operating performance.

Balance Sheet

Balance sheet strength has deteriorated meaningfully. Stockholders’ equity has turned negative in 2024 annual and remains negative in TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months), which increases financial risk and reduces balance-sheet flexibility. Total debt rose sharply from 2024 annual to TTM, while total assets remain very small in TTM versus earlier years, suggesting a weakened capital base. A key positive is that debt levels were moderate relative to equity in earlier years (2020–2023), but the recent shift to negative equity outweighs that historical profile.

Cash Flow

Cash flow remains pressured, but there are some relative positives. Operating cash flow and free cash flow are consistently negative across the periods shown, including TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months), indicating ongoing cash burn. However, free cash flow improved versus the prior year in TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) (positive free cash flow growth), and free cash flow has been roughly in line with reported net income in the loss-making periods (i.e., losses are not being dramatically understated by cash flow). The core weakness is the lack of sustained positive operating cash generation.

Earthworks Industries Inc. has decided not to appeal the U.S. District Court’s order upholding the termination of its lease between subsidiary Cortina Integrated Waste Management Inc. and the Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation for the Cortina Rancheria waste management project, despite having invested millions of dollars and extensive time into the development. After reviewing the low likelihood of success, the significant cost of an appeal, and the potential requirement to pay or secure KDWN’s claimed legal costs, the board concluded that continuing the legal battle was not in the company’s best interest and will instead seek to deploy the environmentally rigorous waste-handling model developed for Cortina at other sites with new partners, signaling a strategic shift away from the long-contested project and toward alternative growth opportunities.
