The company's capital structure is characterized by a high debt-to-equity ratio of 2.71, indicating a significant reliance on debt financing. Its liquidity position is moderate, with a current ratio of 1.2, suggesting limited short-term liquidity to cover immediate obligations. Free cash flow is negative at -336.66 million TWD, and capital expenditures amounted to -295.07 million TWD, reflecting ongoing investment in operations [doc:HA-latest]. Profitability metrics are weak, with a return on equity of -4.56% and a return on assets of -1.08%, both below the typical performance of the Tires & Rubber Products industry. The company reported a net loss of 22.45 million TWD, despite a gross profit of 478.16 million TWD, indicating high operating costs and inefficiencies in converting revenue to profit [doc:HA-latest]. The company's revenue is concentrated in the tires, automotive parts, and construction materials sectors, with no disclosed geographic diversification. This concentration increases exposure to sector-specific demand fluctuations and supply chain disruptions. No segment-specific revenue breakdown is available in the provided data [doc:HA-latest]. The company's growth trajectory is uncertain, with no specific revenue growth projections provided. Historical revenue of 5.87 billion TWD suggests a stable but not growing business. The negative net income and high debt load may constrain future growth unless operational efficiencies are achieved [doc:HA-latest]. Risk factors include a medium liquidity risk and a low dilution risk. The company's net cash position is negative after subtracting total debt, signaling potential liquidity constraints. No significant dilution events are currently expected, and the company has not disclosed any recent share issuance or dilution plans [doc:HA-latest]. Recent events include the latest financial filing, which shows a net loss and high debt levels. No recent earnings call transcripts or material events are disclosed in the provided data. The company's financial health appears to be under pressure, with a need for operational improvements to restore profitability [doc:HA-latest].
