NowCos Co Ltd

Personal ProductsVerified

NowCos maintains a conservative capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.36, below the median for the Personal Products industry, and a current ratio of 1.2, indicating moderate liquidity. The company holds KRW 5,953,631,280 in cash and equivalents, but this is offset by KRW 8,071,677,190 in long-term debt, resulting in a net cash position of negative KRW 2,118,045,910. Free cash flow of KRW 4,999,514,350 supports operational flexibility, though capital expenditures of KRW -1,031,178,040 suggest ongoing reinvestment in production capacity. Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 18.02% and return on assets of 9.76%, both exceeding the industry median for Personal Products, indicating strong asset utilization and equity returns. Operating income of KRW 3,101,716,440 and net income of KRW 3,995,229,740 reflect a healthy margin profile, supported by a gross profit of KRW 11,249,728,870 on revenue of KRW 69,544,503,910. The company's revenue is concentrated in its core cosmetics business, with no disclosed geographic breakdown, but its primary operations are based in South Korea. No material revenue concentration by segment or geography is reported, though the lack of segmental data limits visibility into diversification. Revenue growth is expected to remain stable, with no significant changes in shares outstanding between basic and diluted (5,891,372 shares each), suggesting low dilution risk. The company's free cash flow and operating cash flow of KRW 4,999,514,350 and KRW 4,958,475,060, respectively, support reinvestment and debt servicing. Risk factors include moderate liquidity and a net cash deficit after accounting for long-term debt. The risk assessment flags net cash as negative after subtracting total debt, and while dilution is currently low, the company's capital structure could shift with future financing needs. Recent filings and transcripts are not provided in the input data, so no specific events can be cited. However, the company's financials suggest a stable operating environment with no immediate signs of distress.
