Alteo Agri Ltd

Alteo Agri Ltd maintains a strong liquidity position, with a current ratio of 2.2 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.07, indicating a conservative capital structure. Free cash flow of MUR 351.8 million and operating cash flow of MUR 360.6 million support operational flexibility, though net cash is negative after subtracting total debt. Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 3.6% and return on assets of 2.99%, which are below the industry_config median for Fishing & Farming firms, suggesting room for improvement in asset utilization and shareholder returns. Operating income of MUR 777.9 million and net income of MUR 688.0 million reflect stable performance, but margins remain constrained by high capital expenditures of MUR 571.3 million. The company’s revenue is concentrated across three segments: sugar (planting, harvesting, milling), energy (bagasse/coal power plants), and property (villas, apartments, golf course). No single segment dominates revenue, but the property segment may carry higher volatility due to real estate market dynamics. Revenue growth is projected to remain flat in the current fiscal year, with a marginal increase expected in the next fiscal year. Historical revenue of MUR 3.8 billion aligns with analyst estimates of MUR 7.85 billion, though discrepancies suggest potential for upward revision as production and property sales stabilize. Risk factors include medium liquidity risk due to negative net cash and low dilution risk, with no near-term pressure from share issuance. Capital expenditures are expected to remain high, potentially impacting free cash flow unless offset by revenue growth. Recent events include the continued operation of bagasse/coal power plants and villa sales at Anahita, with no material regulatory or geopolitical disruptions reported in the latest filings. The company’s diversification into energy and property may insulate it from sugar price volatility.
