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.
Funko, Inc. earns an F (Poor — capital at risk) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads -0.2, placing it in the Distress zone. 5 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.
What the filings flag
-8.5%
FY2025
Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is -8.5% in the latest fiscal year, against -19% in FY2023, having run between -19.0% and 2.3% across FY2023–FY2025 with no direction held. The capital base behind it barely moved across FY2023–FY2025 ($431M to $422M, -2%), so there has been little new capital for that return to be earned on.
+6.1%/yr
FY2023–FY2025
Share-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +13% over the last 2 years to FY2025 (+6.1%/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 ~6.1% 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 FY2023 has been diluted ~11%.
stopped
FY2023→FY2025
Shareholder returns — halted.Capital returns have STOPPED — $1M of buybacks + dividends in FY2023, but ~$0 in FY2025. A halt usually means the company is conserving cash.
47d DSO
FY2024→FY2025
Receivables vs revenue.Days sales outstanding moved from 42 to 47 days FY2024→FY2025 (receivables -2% vs revenue -13%). Receivables are creeping up relative to sales. Across FY2023–FY2025 the day count ran 44 → 42 → 47 days, so the latest reading sits on top of a record that was flat or falling before it — one year's move, not a direction the business has been travelling in. Both figures are measured on period-end balances rather than the beginning-plus-ending average, because averaging needs the balance a year before every reading — FY2024's opening balance is on file, but across the 3 fiscal years read here (FY2023–FY2025) the average yields only 2 day counts (1 step), too few to tell a climb from one year's move.

1.3% of rev
FY2025
Stock-based comp load.Stock-based compensation ran 1.3% of revenue in FY2025 — about $0.21 per diluted share. No cash left the business to pay it, which is why operating cash flow adds it back. Net of repurchases the diluted count still rose about 6.1% a year, and the rate is falling. Stock compensation is one source of that issuance; acquisition consideration, equity raises, convertibles and other employee plans also net into the count, and these figures do not separate them.
