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.
Flywire Corp earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 6.1, placing it in the Safe zone. 4 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by accruals ratio (% of noa).
What the filings flag
+45.0%
FY2024→FY2025
Accruals ratio (% of NOA).Net operating assets grew +45.0% relative to their own average in FY2025 — scaled by NOA itself, not total assets (see the Forensic Screens card's differently-scaled Sloan Accrual Ratio for that read). Accruals are building sharply — a large slice of profit sits in operating assets, not cash; Richardson/Sloan link high accruals to weaker future returns as they reverse. The build is led by receivables up +47% against revenue +27%. The cash-flow cross-check is more mixed: reported earnings ran behind operating cash by 21% of net operating assets, diverging from the balance-sheet accrual read.
1.4%
FY2025
Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is 1.4% in the latest fiscal year and rising from -16% — well below its ~10% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.
+5.8%/yr
FY2022–FY2025
Share-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +18% over the last 3 years to FY2025 (+5.8%/yr). The count is growing: more stock was issued than repurchased over this window, so aggregate results grew faster than their per-share equivalents. That's ~5.8% shaved off per-share growth every year — total profit has to grow that much just to keep earnings-per-share flat, and a stake held since FY2022 has been diluted ~16%.
12% of rev
FY2025
Stock-based comp load.Stock-based compensation ran 12% of revenue and 73% of free cash flow in FY2025 — about $0.56 per diluted share. The cost of it is not in the cash flow — no cash left the business — it is in the count, and there it has run at about 5.9% a year and is falling.
