Solvent.

If a company is far from "flourishing" (prospering), it is not doing well, even if the report "avers" (swears) that it is. "Solvent" means profitable; a "not profitable" company is definitely not doing well. "Thriving" is very tempting but ignores the expression "let alone flourishing." The correct use of the expression "not X , let alone Y " requires that X be at a lower level or be an intermediate step towards Y , as in "The paper was not even comprehensible, let alone informative." Since "thriving" is on the same level as "flourishing," it can't logically be used here. "Copious" (detailed), "evasive," and "unprecedented" don’t fit with "let alone flourishing" either.
