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). 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.

Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 3.6, 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

2.5%
FY2025
Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 2.5% in the latest fiscal year, against 2.3% in FY2023, having run between 2.3% and 4.6% across FY2023–FY2025 with no direction held. After-tax operating profit was $41M in FY2023 and $47M in FY2025, with operating income at 4.9% of revenue in FY2023, 9.4% in FY2024 and 5.0% in FY2025. The capital base behind it went from $1.8B in FY2023 to $1.9B in FY2025 (+5%), while the revenue it carried went from $1.3B to $1.3B. FY2025's operating profit carried a $18M asset write-down that alone took about 0.7 points off that year's return, so the latest return is depressed by that charge.
