Haseko Corp

Haseko Corp maintains a balanced capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.76 and a current ratio of 2.64, indicating adequate short-term liquidity despite a medium liquidity risk assessment. The company holds JPY 279.97 billion in cash and equivalents against JPY 425.92 billion in long-term debt, resulting in a net cash position that is negative after subtracting total debt, which is flagged as a key risk. The market capitalization stands at JPY 759.40 billion, with a price-to-book ratio of 1.35 and an EV/EBITDA of 9.59, suggesting a moderate valuation relative to its asset base and earnings power.

Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 9.74% and a return on assets of 3.87%, reflecting efficient use of capital to generate net income of JPY 54.84 billion from total assets of JPY 1.42 trillion. The operating income of JPY 94.38 billion supports a healthy operating margin, while the gross profit of JPY 189.84 billion indicates a gross margin of approximately 14.9%. These returns are consistent with a mature business model in the household durables sector, where margins are typically pressured by competition and input costs, yet the company maintains positive free cash flow of JPY 18.33 billion after capital expenditures of JPY 21.13 billion.
