## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Westrock Coffee Company reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.6×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **EV / EBITDA: 23.0×**. Enterprise value is 23.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -2.1%** (5-yr avg -22.1%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 12.5%**. Westrock Coffee Company keeps 12.5% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: -1.2%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -7.6%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on invested capital: -3.7%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -3.7%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -5.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces -5.4% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 39.8%** (3-yr 11.1%/yr, 5-yr 16.6%/yr). Revenue grew 39.8% over the last year, against 16.6% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -5.6%**. Earnings per share fell 5.6%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 7.0×**. It would take 7.0 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.38**. A Z-score of 1.38 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
