Bermaz Auto Bhd

Bermaz Auto Bhd maintains a liquidity position with a current ratio of 1.97, indicating the company can cover its short-term liabilities nearly twice over. The company's liquidity_fpt score is moderate, supported by cash and equivalents of MYR 354.09 million, which is a significant portion of its total assets of MYR 1.69 billion. However, the company reported negative free cash flow of MYR -162.31 million, which may signal reinvestment in operations or capital expenditures [doc:HA-latest]. In terms of profitability, Bermaz Auto Bhd's return on equity of 23.92% and return on assets of 9.1% are strong, suggesting efficient use of equity and assets to generate profit. These metrics are above the industry median for the Auto Vehicles, Parts & Service Retailers sector, indicating a competitive edge in profitability [doc:HA-latest]. The company's revenue is primarily concentrated in Malaysia, with operations in the Philippines for Mazda distribution. The geographic exposure is limited, with no significant diversification beyond these two markets. The company's business is segmented into vehicle distribution and after-sales services, with no disclosed revenue breakdown by segment. This lack of segmentation detail limits the ability to assess the performance of individual business lines [doc:HA-latest]. Bermaz Auto Bhd's growth trajectory is modest, with no disclosed revenue growth rates or outlook for the current or next fiscal year. The company's operating income of MYR 222.02 million and net income of MYR 153.59 million suggest stable earnings, but the absence of growth projections implies a conservative or maintenance-oriented strategy [doc:HA-latest].
