Semperit Holding AG

Semperit's capital structure shows a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.57, indicating moderate leverage, while its liquidity position is characterized by a current ratio of 1.78, suggesting it can cover short-term obligations but with limited surplus. The company's cash and equivalents amount to EUR 4.39 million, which is significantly lower than its long-term debt of EUR 237.58 million, resulting in a negative net cash position [doc:HA-latest]. This liquidity profile is assessed as medium risk, with analysts noting the company's net cash is negative after subtracting total debt [doc:HA-latest]. Profitability metrics reveal a return on equity (ROE) of 0.10% and a return on assets (ROA) of 0.05%, both of which are below the industry median for Tires & Rubber Products. The company's operating income of EUR 21.75 million and net income of EUR 0.42 million reflect a narrow margin, with gross profit at EUR 170.10 million. These figures suggest a weak ability to convert revenue into profit compared to industry peers [doc:HA-latest]. Semperit's revenue is distributed across multiple industrial sectors, with no single segment accounting for more than 20% of total revenue. The company's geographic exposure is broad, with production facilities in over 16 countries and a global distribution network spanning Asia, Europe, the United States, and Latin America. However, the absence of disclosed segment-specific revenue figures limits the ability to assess concentration risk within individual markets [doc:HA-latest]. The company's growth trajectory is constrained by its current financial performance. With a revenue of EUR 662.36 million, Semperit's outlook for the current fiscal year is flat, and no significant growth is projected for the next fiscal year. The company's capital expenditure of EUR -34.65 million indicates a reduction in investment, which may signal a defensive strategy in response to market conditions [doc:HA-latest]. Risk factors include a medium liquidity risk and a low dilution risk. The company's free cash flow of EUR 4.98 million is insufficient to cover its long-term debt, and the negative net cash position raises concerns about its ability to meet long-term obligations. However, the absence of significant dilution sources and a low dilution risk score suggest that equity dilution is not an immediate concern [doc:HA-latest]. Recent events include analyst price targets ranging from EUR 14.20 to EUR 22.00, with a mean recommendation of 1.80, indicating a generally positive outlook. The company has not disclosed any recent filings or transcripts that would suggest material changes in its business strategy or financial position [doc:].
