Frequently asked questions
What is Acuity Brands Inc's revenue?
Acuity Brands Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $4.59B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is AYI?
In its most recent fiscal year, AYI ran a gross margin of 47.83%, an operating margin of 13.66%, and a net margin of 9.13%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does AYI generate?
AYI produced $533.00M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is AYI's balance sheet healthy?
AYI holds $422.50M in cash and equivalents against $896.80M in long-term debt, on $2.72B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
