Squirrel Media's capital structure shows a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.75, indicating a moderate reliance on debt financing. The company's liquidity position is constrained, with a current ratio of 0.7, suggesting that its current liabilities exceed its current assets. Free cash flow stands at EUR 8.06 million, but net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, signaling potential liquidity risk [doc:HA-latest]. Profitability metrics reveal a return on equity (ROE) of 3.42% and a return on assets (ROA) of 0.86%, both below the typical thresholds for media companies. The operating margin is 4.82% (calculated from operating income of EUR 11.74 million on revenue of EUR 243.61 million), which is weak compared to industry benchmarks. Gross margin is 22.38% (calculated from gross profit of EUR 54.52 million), indicating room for improvement in cost control [doc:HA-latest]. The company's revenue is concentrated in the Spanish market, with no disclosed international exposure. It is integrated into the Italian producer DMD Media SRL, but no specific revenue contribution from this partnership is quantified. The Television segment is likely the primary revenue driver, though no segment-specific revenue figures are provided [doc:HA-latest]. Growth trajectory is uncertain, with no forward-looking revenue guidance provided. Historical revenue of EUR 243.61 million shows no year-over-year growth data, and the outlook for the current and next fiscal years is not quantified. Analysts have issued a strong buy recommendation, but all price targets are identical at EUR 3.75, suggesting limited consensus [doc:HA-latest]. Risk factors include medium liquidity risk and a negative net cash position. The company has a low dilution risk, with no near-term pressure from share issuance. However, the risk assessment flags net cash as negative after subtracting total debt, which could constrain operational flexibility [doc:HA-latest]. Recent events include no disclosed filings or transcripts. The company's integration with DMD Media SRL may influence future strategic direction, but no specific events or announcements have been reported in the latest data [doc:HA-latest].
