ARN Media's capital structure shows a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.64, indicating moderate leverage, while its current ratio of 1.02 suggests limited short-term liquidity cushion [doc:HA-latest]. The company reported negative net income of -34.67 million AUD and a return on equity of -16.02%, both significantly below the Broadcasting industry median for profitability [doc:HA-latest]. The company's operating income of 9.45 million AUD is below the industry median for operating margins, and its return on assets of -4.26% reflects underperformance in asset utilization [doc:HA-latest]. Revenue is concentrated in three segments: Australian Radio Network (ARN), HK Outdoor, and Investments, with no disclosed geographic breakdown beyond Australia and Hong Kong [doc:HA-latest]. Outlook data indicates a projected revenue decline in the current fiscal year, with no clear recovery expected in the next fiscal year. The company's operating cash flow of 65.11 million AUD and free cash flow of 9.69 million AUD are insufficient to cover long-term debt of 137.99 million AUD, signaling potential liquidity stress [doc:HA-latest]. Risk assessment highlights medium liquidity risk and low dilution risk, though the company's net cash position is negative after subtracting total debt. No recent filings or transcripts were identified to suggest material changes in operations or strategy [doc:HA-latest].
