Eole Inc

Advertising & MarketingVerified

Eole Inc operates with a high price-to-book ratio of 70.33 and a negative return on equity of -1.59, indicating a significant premium to tangible assets and unprofitable operations. The company holds 375.7 million JPY in cash and equivalents but reports negative operating cash flow of -18.2 million JPY and free cash flow of -548.6 million JPY, suggesting ongoing liquidity pressure. Profitability metrics show a return on assets of -0.47 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.71, both below the industry median for Advertising & Marketing firms. The company's operating margin is -13.9% (operating loss of 494.1 million JPY on 3.55 billion JPY revenue), which is significantly worse than the sector average. Revenue is concentrated across five disclosed segments: Rakuraku Contact Network, Pinpoint advertising, Gakuba Arbeit, Rakuraku Arbeit, and other services. No geographic breakdown is available, but all operations are Japan-based. The company's current FY revenue of 3.55 billion JPY is expected to decline by 8.2% in the next fiscal year, with operating income expected to remain negative. The risk assessment identifies low liquidity and dilution risk, with no immediate filing-based flags detected. However, the company's negative free cash flow and high price-to-book ratio suggest potential dilution pressure if capital needs increase. No recent filings or transcripts show material events affecting operations. The company's capital structure includes 220.0 million JPY in long-term debt and 736.1 million JPY in total liabilities. The current ratio of 1.54 indicates sufficient short-term liquidity to cover obligations, but the negative operating cash flow suggests reliance on cash reserves.
