Whirlpool's Z-Score is a linear multi-factor model designed to assess financial distress risk using a weighted combination of accounting ratios. Its interpretation depends on industry context and may be less directly comparable for asset-light business models. The model uses five fundamental business ratios that are weighted according to the algorithm of Professor Edward Altman who developed it in the late 1960s at New York University.

Note: Altman's original specification uses EBIT for the third factor. Using EBITDA instead of EBIT may overstate T3, potentially inflating the overall Z-Score relative to the original specification.
