CT Automotive Group PLC

Auto, Truck & Motorcycle PartsVerified

CTA.L maintains a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.65, indicating a moderate reliance on debt financing, while its current ratio of 1.32 suggests adequate short-term liquidity to cover obligations. The company's free cash flow of $9.91 million and operating cash flow of $6.90 million support its liquidity position, though its net cash position is negative after subtracting total debt. The company's total equity of $26.32 million is supported by total assets of $74.68 million, with long-term debt of $17.19 million and cash and equivalents of $3.63 million. Profitability metrics show a return on equity (ROE) of 32.87% and a return on assets (ROA) of 11.58%, both exceeding the industry median for ROE of 18.5% and ROA of 6.2%. The company's operating income of $9.56 million and net income of $8.65 million reflect strong operational performance, with a gross profit of $33.10 million on revenue of $119.75 million. These figures suggest a healthy margin structure and efficient cost management. The company's revenue is concentrated in the UK and European markets, with no disclosed segment breakdown. This geographic concentration may expose the company to regional economic fluctuations and regulatory changes. The absence of segment-specific revenue data limits the ability to assess diversification and growth potential across different product lines or regions. Looking ahead, the company is projected to maintain a stable revenue trajectory, with no significant growth or decline expected in the next fiscal year. The capital expenditure of -$3.20 million indicates a reduction in investment, which may signal a focus on cost optimization or a shift in strategic priorities. The company's liquidity risk is assessed as medium, with a risk score reflecting its moderate debt load and cash flow generation. The risk assessment highlights a medium liquidity risk and a low dilution risk, with no immediate pressure from share issuance or dilution. The company's credit risk is moderate, supported by its strong cash flow and profitability metrics. No recent filings or transcripts indicate material changes in the company's operations or strategic direction.
