Fitch Sees RadioShack (RSH) with Limited Options to Stem Liquidity Issue; May Downgrade Further

June 11, 2014 9:30 AM EDT

RadioShack's (NYSE: RSH) weak first quarter results underscore the material challenges in its core business segments with few options left to stem the declines given a tightening liquidity situation, according to Fitch Ratings.

Sales for the first quarter fell 13% to $736.7 million, reflecting significant pressure within its mobility platform, which was down 19%, and its retail platform (consumer electronics and other items) which was down 9.4%. At the same time, the gross margin was down 370 basis points due to the promotional nature of the mobility market. These results were below Fitch's expectations.
