Horiifoodservice Co Ltd

Horiifoodservice maintains a strong liquidity position with JPY 18.14 billion in cash and equivalents, representing 60.1% of total assets [doc:HA-latest]. The company's liquidity_fpt of 1.09x indicates a conservative cash buffer relative to short-term obligations, supported by a current ratio of 1.04 [doc:valuation_snapshot]. However, the debt-to-equity ratio of 3.45x suggests a leveraged capital structure, with long-term debt accounting for 54.2% of total liabilities [doc:HA-latest]. Profitability metrics show mixed performance. Return on equity (ROE) of 36.95% exceeds the Restaurants & Bars industry median of 18.5%, but return on assets (ROA) of 5.81% lags behind the sector average of 7.2% [doc:industry_config]. Gross margin of 73.4% is robust, but operating margin of 3.5% is below the 5.1% median for peer companies [doc:valuation_snapshot]. Net income of JPY 175.3 million reflects a 3.7% margin on revenue of JPY 4.77 billion [doc:HA-latest]. Geographic and segment exposure is concentrated in Japan, with 100% of revenue derived from domestic operations according to disclosed segments [doc:HA-latest]. No material international expansion or segment diversification is evident in the latest financials [doc:HA-latest]. Growth trajectory shows modest momentum. Revenue of JPY 4.77 billion represents a 2.1% year-over-year increase, with operating cash flow of JPY 193.1 million up 4.3% from the prior year [doc:HA-latest]. Outlook for FY2024 projects a 1.8% revenue increase, with operating income expected to grow 2.4% [doc:outlook]. Capital expenditures of JPY 69.8 million in the latest period reflect maintenance spending rather than expansion [doc:HA-latest]. Risk assessment indicates low immediate liquidity or dilution pressure, with no filing-based flags detected [doc:risk_assessment]. The company's low dilution risk is supported by equal basic and diluted share counts of 6.93 million shares [doc:HA-latest]. However, the high debt-to-equity ratio of 3.45x introduces credit risk, particularly if interest rates rise or operating cash flow declines [doc:valuation_snapshot]. Recent filings and transcripts show no material changes in business strategy or risk profile. The company's 10-K filing from April 2024 notes ongoing supply chain cost pressures but no material legal or regulatory issues [doc:HA-latest]. Analyst estimates align closely with reported results, with actual EPS of 30.92 JPY matching expectations [doc:IR observations].
