ABO Energy GmbH & Co KgaA
ABO Energy has a liquidity position characterized by a current ratio of 6.12, indicating strong short-term liquidity, but its operating cash flow is negative at -3.32 million EUR, suggesting operational cash generation is under pressure [doc:AB9.DE-FinancialSnapshot]. The company's debt-to-equity ratio is 1.39, which is relatively high, and its long-term debt of 314.9 million EUR exceeds its cash and equivalents of 75.6 million EUR, resulting in a net cash position that is negative after subtracting total debt [doc:AB9.DE-ValuationSnapshot]. In terms of profitability, ABO Energy's return on equity (ROE) is 11.31%, and its return on assets (ROA) is 3.9%, both of which are above the industry median for Renewable Energy Equipment & Services. The company's operating margin is 10.63% (calculated as operating income of 47.44 million EUR divided by revenue of 446.37 million EUR), which is also above the industry median [doc:AB9.DE-FinancialSnapshot]. ABO Energy's revenue is derived from multiple geographic regions, including Germany, France, Spain, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Bulgaria. The company does not disclose specific revenue concentration by region, but its project portfolio spans these countries, indicating a diversified geographic exposure [doc:AB9.DE-Description]. The company's growth trajectory is mixed. While it has a project portfolio of approximately 400 wind energy turbines with a total capacity of over 700 MW, its revenue growth is constrained by the capital-intensive nature of the renewable energy sector. The company's free cash flow is 20.36 million EUR, but its capital expenditure of -3.98 million EUR indicates ongoing investment in projects [doc:AB9.DE-FinancialSnapshot]. ABO Energy faces moderate liquidity risk due to its negative operating cash flow and high debt-to-equity ratio. The company's dilution risk is low, as there is no indication of recent or planned share issuances that would dilute existing shareholders. The company's risk assessment indicates a medium liquidity risk and a low dilution risk [doc:AB9.DE-RiskAssessment]. Recent events include the company's continued focus on wind energy projects and biogas plant development. The company's parent company, ABO Wind Group, has a minority stake in ABO Invest AG, which operates power generation plants in Europe. The company's project portfolio and operational focus suggest a strategic emphasis on renewable energy expansion [doc:AB9.DE-Description].
