Asset-light

Physical assets are 24.6% of total assets, a light footprint. Capex is 0.80x depreciation while free cash flow yield is positive, which can mean an aging base that is still throwing off cash. EBITDA after capex covers debt service by 0.91x, which is below 1.

Energy, materials, and industrial names often turn net PP&E at about 1x to 3x. This name is at 4.48x.
