Gaumont's capital structure shows a current ratio of 1.02, indicating limited short-term liquidity buffer, with cash and equivalents at €20 million and total liabilities at €188.85 million [doc:HA-latest]. The company's debt-to-equity ratio is 0.14, suggesting a relatively conservative leverage profile, though its net cash position is negative after subtracting total debt [doc:HA-latest]. Profitability metrics are weak, with a return on equity of -11.82% and a return on assets of -5.51%, both significantly below the industry median for Entertainment Production. Operating income is negative at €18.93 million, and net income is also negative at €19.51 million [doc:HA-latest]. The company's revenue is concentrated in three segments: production and distribution of movies, audiovisual production and distribution, and movie theater operations. While international sales are part of its strategy, the financial snapshot does not provide specific geographic revenue breakdowns [doc:HA-latest]. Gaumont's growth trajectory is uncertain, with no outlook data provided for the current or next fiscal year. However, the company's operating cash flow of €74.05 million contrasts with a negative free cash flow of €7.97 million, driven by capital expenditures of €81.21 million [doc:HA-latest]. Risk factors include medium liquidity risk due to the current ratio near 1.0 and a negative net cash position. Dilution risk is assessed as low, with no near-term pressure expected, though the risk assessment notes potential dilution from capital expenditures [doc:HA-latest]. Recent events include the production of "The Intouchables" and other projects, but no specific filings or transcripts are cited in the input data [doc:HA-latest].
