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). 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.

Cricut, Inc. earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 9.9, placing it in the Safe zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by shareholder returns.

What the filings flag

113% of OCF

FY2025

Shareholder returns. Returned $227M to shareholders (buybacks + dividends) in FY2025 — 113% of operating cash flow. Capex isn't disclosed for FY2025, so this is the ceiling on coverage, not the free-cash-flow payout; returns exceed even operating cash, so the extra is coming from debt or reserves.

-0.5%/yr

FY2022–FY2025

Share count. Diluted share count changed -1% over the last 3 years to FY2025 (-0.5%/yr). Roughly flat — buybacks ($25M) are about offsetting stock comp ($35M), not shrinking the count. Per-share value isn't being meaningfully helped or hurt by the count.

-62%

FY2023→FY2024

Dividend — cut. The payout was CUT ~62% in FY2024 (from FY2023). It still returns some cash, but it is NOT the dependable, rising dividend an unbroken streak implies.
