The Beneish M-Score is a statistical model that provides some insight into whether the company might be manipulating earnings. With a Beneish M-Score of −2.78, the model suggests that the company is not likely to be an earnings manipulator. A value of −2.78 implies a 0.3% chance of earnings manipulation.
