Hamayuu Co Ltd
Hamayuu maintains a liquidity position with a current ratio of 1.7, indicating moderate short-term solvency, but its free cash flow is negative at -124.34 million JPY, and capital expenditures of -380.596 million JPY suggest ongoing reinvestment in operations [doc:HA-latest]. The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 1.27 indicates a leveraged capital structure, with long-term debt of 2045.95 million JPY against total equity of 1606.73 million JPY [doc:HA-latest]. Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 5.05% and a return on assets of 1.72%, both below the typical thresholds for high-performing restaurant chains. The operating margin of 2.61% (158.82 million JPY operating income on 6092.11 million JPY revenue) is weak compared to industry benchmarks, indicating challenges in cost control and pricing power [doc:HA-latest]. The company's revenue is concentrated in the Tokai region, with a secondary presence in Tokyo and Osaka. No segment-specific revenue breakdown is available, but the three brand categories—HAMAYUU, Shikitei, and Tourimichi—suggest a diversified approach to customer demographics and dining experiences [doc:HA-latest]. Outlook data is not provided, but the negative free cash flow and high capital expenditures suggest a period of reinvestment or expansion. The company's operating cash flow of 349.47 million JPY provides some buffer, but the net cash position is negative after subtracting total debt [doc:HA-latest]. Risk factors include a medium liquidity risk due to the negative free cash flow and a debt-to-equity ratio above 1. Dilution risk is assessed as low, with no near-term pressure from share issuance or convertible instruments. However, the company's reliance on the restaurant sector exposes it to cyclical demand and supply chain volatility [doc:HA-latest]. Recent filings and transcripts are not provided in the input data, so no specific events can be cited. The company's financial snapshot does not include recent earnings calls or regulatory filings beyond the standard financial disclosures [doc:HA-latest].
