AI Insight: CRMT Financial Trends

Revenue collapsed 13% year-over-year to $303M in Q2 2026, while operating cash flow swung to +$68M on improved working capital management.

Revenue declined from $370M (Q2 2025) to $303M (Q2 2026), a 18% contraction over four quarters.

Operating cash flow turned positive at +$68M in Q2 2026 after persistent deficits through early 2025 (low of -$31M in Q1 2025).

Total debt fell to $446M from $558M peak in Q1 2025, reducing leverage despite revenue pressure.

Quarterly revenue highly volatile: $303M (Q2 2026) vs. $370M (Q2 2025) suggests demand instability or seasonal disruption.

Operating cash flow remains erratic (±$68M swings Q2 2026 vs. -$6M Q1 2026); sustainability unclear.

AI Insight: CRMT Ratio Trends

Operating margins have collapsed into severe negative territory, with ROIC declining to -32.7% in Q2 2026, the worst in the dataset.

Operating margin deteriorated from +3.4% in Q2 2025 to -12.0% in Q2 2026, a 15.4 percentage point decline in one year.

ROIC swung from +8.8% in Q2 2025 to -32.7% in Q2 2026, signaling material destruction of invested capital.

TTM operating margin stands at -8.9% and TTM ROIC at -24.2%, both deeply negative, reflecting sustained operational distress.

Profitability has remained negative for four consecutive quarters (Q3 2025 through Q2 2026), indicating systemic rather than cyclical issues.

Q2 2026 ROIC of -32.7% is the lowest on record; clarify whether margin compression, asset write-downs, or operational losses drive this.
