Margins, % of revenue
Margins, % of revenue
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).

Diluted EPS
In plain words: Net income is the profit left after every cost and tax. Earnings per share (EPS) splits that profit across every share, so it shows what one share earned.
How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
KIRA summarises the numbers
Free cash flow was $42.4M in fiscal 2026, 4.6% of revenue.

In plain words: Profit on paper is not the same as cash in the bank. Free cash flow is the cash left after paying to run and maintain the business: the money it can hand back to shareholders, save or invest.
KIRA summarises the numbers
Zumiez Inc returned $38.3M to shareholders in fiscal 2026, 90% of free cash flow.
The diluted share count fell 8.8%.
Dividends and buybacks

In plain words: Insiders are the people who run or own a big part of the company. Buying with their own money can signal confidence; selling often has personal reasons, like taxes or diversifying.
Can it carry its debts, and how well does it use its money?
Cash, debt and the ratios that show how comfortably Zumiez Inc can carry it.
Cash vs debt (incl. leases)
| Fiscal year end | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 | FY26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash and short-term investments | $294M | $173M | $172M | $148M | $161M |
| Current ratio | 2.4x | 2.3x | 2.3x | 2.1x | 2.0x |
| Quick ratio | 1.7x | 1.4x | 1.4x | 1.1x | 1.1x |
| Total assets | $862M | $748M | $664M | $635M | $644M |

| Shareholders' equity | $468M | $407M | $353M | $329M | $324M |
| Net debt (β = net cash) | β | β | β | β | β |
In plain words: What the company owns and what it owes. More cash than debt is a cushion for bad times; a lot of debt leaves less room when business slows down.
After-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash.
Return on capital, equity and assets (annual)
In plain words: How much profit the business makes on the money put into it. A higher percentage means each dollar invested works harder.
Nine pass/fail tests of profitability, funding and efficiency. 8β9 is strong, 0β2 weak.
