Evidence signals

  • 2 filing risk checks flagged

    Flagged areas: Solvency & liquidity.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • Operating margin was stable

    Operating margin changed +0.1 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2026-01-31.

  • Revenue expanded

    Latest reported annual revenue changed +4.8% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2026-01-31.

  • Free cash flow was positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $84M.

    Why this surfaced

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Note 7 Legal Proceedings Environmental Matters The Company has legacy obligations including environmental monitoring and reporting costs related to: (i) a 2016 Consent Judgment entered into with the United States Environmental Protection Agency involving the site of a knitting mill operated by a former subsidiary from 1965 to 1969 in Garden City, New York; and (ii) a 2010 Consent Decree with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment relating to our former Volunteer Leather Company facility in Whitehall, Michigan. We do not expect that future obligations related to either of these sites will have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Accrual for Environmental Contingencies Related to all outstanding environmental contingencies, we had accrued $ 1.9 million as of May 2, 2026, $ 1.9 million as of January 31, 2026 and $ 2.1 million as of May 3, 2025. All such provisions reflect our estimates of the most likely cost (undiscounted, including both current and noncurrent portions) of resolving the contingencies, based on facts and circumstances as of the time they were made. There is no assurance that relevant facts and circumstances will not change, necessitating future changes to the provisions. Such contingent liabilities for discontinued operations are included in other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because they relate to former faciliti
