The company's enterprise value to EBITDA is 1,504.70, and its enterprise value to revenue is 47.08. The company's debt-to-equity ratio is 1.82, and its current ratio is 0.35, indicating potential liquidity constraints [doc:HA-latest]. The company's return on equity is -5.26%, and its return on assets is -1.53%, both significantly below the industry median for Leisure & Recreation businesses. The company's operating income is 1,809,000 GBP, while its net income is -1,251,000 GBP, indicating a net loss despite positive operating income. The company's gross profit is 36,984,000 GBP, but its operating cash flow is 7,629,000 GBP, and its free cash flow is -2,255,000 GBP, suggesting cash flow constraints [doc:HA-latest]. XP Factory Plc's revenue is concentrated in the United Kingdom, with Escape Hunt and Boom Battle Bar operating through a network of owner-operated and franchised sites. The company's international presence is limited to franchised outlets in five continents, but the majority of its revenue is generated domestically. The company's business model is heavily reliant on in-person leisure activities, which may be sensitive to economic cycles and consumer spending patterns [doc:HA-latest]. The company's revenue is 57,818,000 GBP, and its outlook for the current fiscal year is uncertain, with no significant growth expected. The company's capital expenditure is -7,684,000 GBP, indicating a reduction in investment. The company's liquidity risk is medium, and its key financial flag is negative net cash after subtracting total debt. The company's dilution risk is low, but its financial structure may require monitoring for potential dilution events [doc:HA-latest]. Recent events include analyst estimates with a mean price target of 20.00 GBP and a mean recommendation of 1.50, indicating a generally positive outlook. The company has one strong-buy and one buy recommendation, with no hold or sell recommendations. The company's financial performance and market position suggest that it is in a growth phase, but its profitability and cash flow management remain key concerns [doc:HA-latest]. The company's risk assessment indicates a medium liquidity risk and a low dilution risk. The company's financial structure, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.82, suggests that it is leveraged, which may increase its financial risk. The company's negative net cash position after subtracting total debt is a key flag that may require further analysis. The company's risk profile is influenced by its exposure to the leisure and recreation industry, which is sensitive to economic conditions and consumer behavior [doc:HA-latest].
