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.
Surrozen, Inc. earns a D (Weak — demands caution) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads -13.9, placing it in the Distress zone. 3 forensic signals were flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by receivables vs revenue.
What the filings flag
107d DSO
FY2024→FY2025
Receivables vs revenue.Days sales outstanding moved from 72 to 107 days FY2024→FY2025 (receivables -100% vs revenue -67%). Receivables are creeping up relative to sales.
n/m (stock split)
FY2023–FY2025
Share count (stock split).Diluted share count changed +271% over the last 2 years to FY2025, but that includes a large one-time change around FY2025 consistent with a stock split or reverse split, not gradual buybacks or issuance — a split changes the count with NO effect on any holder's proportional ownership, so the raw +92.5%/yr figure isn't a real buyback/dilution read here.
110% of rev
FY2025
Stock-based comp load.Stock-based compensation ran 110% of revenue in FY2025. 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 45.3% a year, above the level at which the count is a material claim on a stake, and only one year's change is on file — enough to state what a holder gave up, not enough to say whether the rate is climbing or coming down. 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.
