Yes. It could repay its debt with 0.3 years of operating profit.
How healthy are the accounts?
7 / 8
Solid. It passes 7 of 8 health tests.

In plain words: Every quarter, companies publish how much they sold and earned. These are the days Tidewater did it, and the next one. Share prices often move a lot on those days.

From SEC filings: the results press release (8-K) or, without one, the quarterly or annual report.
KIRA Β· Tidewater had $1.4B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 0.5% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +27.8% a year on average. Its operating margin was 20.9%, down 2.2Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about 21 is left after running the business.
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).

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA Β· Free cash flow was $353M in fiscal 2025, 26.1% of revenue.
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
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 Β· Tidewater returned $90.1M to shareholders in fiscal 2025, 26% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 5.0%.

KIRA Β· In the last 12 months, insiders sold $9.5M of shares on the open market and bought none.
Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from Form 4 filings. βPlanβ marks trades under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.
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?
KIRA Β· Tidewater owes $116M more than it holds in cash, about 0.3 years of operating profit.
Cash, debt and the ratios that show how comfortably Tidewater can carry it.
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.
