Is BlueLinx making money or losing money?

The operating margin, however, is positive at 1.1% — the core business makes money; the loss comes from financing costs, taxes or one-off items.

Can BlueLinx service its debt? Can service its debt, but it weighs on the company — the interest coverage ratio (how many times earnings can cover interest payments) is 2.2x, and net debt equals 4.8 years of earnings (EBITDA).
