Hotto Link Inc operates with a price-to-book ratio of 0.85 and a price-to-tangible-book ratio of 0.85, indicating a discount to its equity value [doc:HA-latest]. The company holds 2.43 billion JPY in cash and equivalents, with a current ratio of 3.41, suggesting strong short-term liquidity [doc:HA-latest]. However, free cash flow is negative at -1.81 billion JPY, driven by capital expenditures of -412.64 million JPY [doc:HA-latest]. The company reported a net loss of 1.79 billion JPY and an operating loss of 1.98 billion JPY, with a return on equity of -44.31% and a return on assets of -29.8% [doc:HA-latest]. These metrics fall below the industry median for profitability and returns, as defined by the Advertising & Marketing industry's preferred metrics [doc:industry_config]. Hotto Link Inc operates through three segments: SaaS, Solution, and Other. The SaaS segment provides e-mining and Review @ manager series, while the Solution segment focuses on data sales and analytics [doc:HA-latest]. The Other segment includes data center and service usage fees. Revenue concentration data is not disclosed, but the company's exposure to the advertising and marketing industry suggests sensitivity to macroeconomic cycles [doc:industry_config]. The company's revenue for the latest period was 3.65 billion JPY, with no disclosed growth trajectory for the current or next fiscal year [doc:HA-latest]. The negative operating and net income, combined with a negative EBITDA multiple of -1.01, indicate a challenging operating environment [doc:HA-latest]. Risk assessment shows low liquidity and dilution risk, with no immediate filing-based flags detected [doc:HA-latest]. The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.24 suggests a conservative capital structure, but the negative free cash flow and operating losses may pressure liquidity in the medium term [doc:HA-latest]. Recent financial filings show a last actual EPS of -113.97 JPY and revenue of 3.65 billion JPY, aligning with the reported financial snapshot [doc:, doc:].
