AI Insight: SR Financial Trends

Total debt surged to $7,717M in Q1 2026 — a $2,856M sequential jump — while operating cash flow turned negative in Q3 2025, raising leverage concerns.

Total debt ballooned from $4,861M in Q4 2025 to $7,717M in Q1 2026, a 59% quarter-over-quarter increase.

Q1 2025 peak-season net income of $196M lagged Q1 2024's $204M, while revenue fell from $1,128M to $958M year-over-year.

Operating cash flow deteriorated sharply, turning negative at -$5M in Q3 2025 versus $83M in Q3 2024.

Equity held relatively stable between $3,233M and $3,509M across all reported quarters, showing no material erosion.

Debt-to-equity ratio spiked to roughly 2.26x in Q1 2026 versus 1.24x in Q1 2024 — monitor refinancing risk and covenants.

Q3 2025 operating income was effectively zero (-$0M) versus $20M in Q3 2024 — off-peak profitability is eroding.

Q1 2026 revenue and income data are absent; confirmation of seasonal earnings recovery is the key near-term inflection.

AI Insight: SR Ratio Trends

Spire's leverage has surged to D/E of 2.26 in Q1 2026, nearly double the 1.24 seen just a year ago, overshadowing a solid Q1 2025 operating margin of 29.4%.

Heating-season quarters dominate profitability: Q1 2025 operating margin hit 29.4%, up from 26.5% in Q1 2024.

Off-peak quarters remain deeply loss-making; Q3 2025 operating margin turned negative at -0.1% versus -8.8% net margin.

ROIC in seasonal peak quarters has declined: Q1 2025 ROIC was 14.3% versus 15.7% in Q1 2024, signaling modest return erosion.

D/E ratio jumped sharply from 1.42 in Q4 2025 to 2.26 in Q1 2026, the highest level in the dataset.

D/E of 2.26 in Q1 2026 versus 1.24 a year prior signals rapid debt accumulation; monitor refinancing risk and interest coverage.

Q2 2025 operating margin improved to 16.4% from 7.4% in Q2 2024 — watch whether off-peak profitability sustains into Q2 2026.

Peak-season ROIC trending down (15.7% → 14.3%) despite higher margins; rising asset base may be diluting returns.
