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.

Wolverine World Wide Inc /De/ earns a B (Sound & dependable) forensic quality grade, and its balance-sheet distress test reads 3.5, 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

12.6%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 12.6% in the latest fiscal year and rising across FY2023–FY2025 from -5.2%. After-tax operating profit was ($53M) in FY2023 and $125M in FY2025, with operating income at -3.0% of revenue in FY2023, 5.6% in FY2024 and 8.0% in FY2025. The capital base behind it went from $1.0B in FY2023 to $991M in FY2025 (-3%), while the revenue it carried went from $2.2B to $1.9B. FY2023's operating profit carried a $185M asset write-down that alone took about 14.3 points off that year's return, so about 14.3 of the 17.8-point rise across FY2023–FY2025 is that charge leaving the base year rather than the capital earning more. A non-cash write-down lowers the reported return in the year it lands.
