Bear case

  • Operating cash flow of 256.31M barely covers its investment activities of (103.34M), with a coverage ratio of -2.48, indicating heavy reliance on external financing for growth which may not be sustainable in a tighter credit environment.
  • High receivables of 287.96M relative to inventory of 49.28M (5.84 ratio) suggests aggressive credit terms or collection difficulties, potentially masking revenue quality issues.
  • Operating earnings of 172.48M show weak coverage of depreciation charges of 112.72M, with a 1.53 ratio indicating high capital intensity and potential reinvestment needs.
  • High depreciation of 112.72M relative to operating cash flow of 256.31M, which is 0.44x suggests significant maintenance capital requirements affecting free cash flow.
  • Free cash flow of 152.60M represents just -12.72x of debt issuance (12M), suggesting concerning reliance on leverage rather than internal cash generation for growth.
