This free snapshot doesn't read filing or proxy text, so the auditor-quality and governance checks that can lower a grade were not evaluated (red flags, auditor quality, say on pay, board independence, going concern, valuation). Those checks only ever lower a grade, so the full analysis can land below the grade above but never above it — treat it as the most favourable reading, not the settled one.
Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc. earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 9.1, placing it in the Safe zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by cash conversion.
What the filings flag
0.88×
FY2023–FY2025
Cash conversion.Over FY2023–FY2025, cumulative operating cash flow was 0.88× cumulative net income. Cash is lagging reported profit. The shortfall is profit tied up in working capital rather than collected — the accrual and receivables lines below show where.
+11.4%
FY2024→FY2025
Accruals ratio (% of NOA).Net operating assets grew +11.4% relative to their own average in FY2025 — scaled by NOA itself, not by total assets, which is what the Forensic Screens card's own accrual row divides by. Accruals are building faster than is comfortable — part of profit is sitting in the balance sheet rather than turning to cash. The build is led by receivables up +26% against revenue +6%. A cash-flow measure on the same base disagrees: reported earnings ran in line with operating cash by 1% of net operating assets, against an accruals ratio of 11.4%. The two are computed differently: the accruals ratio is the change in net operating assets over average net operating assets, while the cash-flow figure is net income less operating cash flow over that same average. Read them as two results, not one.
-0.4%/yr
FY2023–FY2025
Share count.Diluted share count changed -1% over the last 2 years to FY2025 (-0.4%/yr). Roughly flat — buybacks ($61M) are about offsetting stock comp ($12M), not shrinking the count. Per-share value isn't being meaningfully helped or hurt by the count.
