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 (auditor quality, say on pay, board independence, going concern). 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.

Escalade Inc earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 9.7, placing it in the Safe zone. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

7.5%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 7.5% in the latest fiscal year and steady across FY2023–FY2025, inside a 1.3-point range. After-tax operating profit was $14M in FY2023 and $14M in FY2025, with operating income at 6.8% of revenue in FY2023, 8.0% in FY2024 and 7.8% in FY2025. The capital base behind it came down -16% across FY2023–FY2025, from $227M to $191M, so this return is struck on a smaller base than it started on.
