Amplitude Energy Ltd
Amplitude Energy Ltd has a liquidity ratio of 1.64, indicating a current ratio above 1 but with a negative net cash position after subtracting total debt, as noted in the risk assessment. The company’s debt-to-equity ratio of 0.8 suggests moderate leverage, but its operating cash flow of AUD 89.3 million is insufficient to cover its long-term debt of AUD 300.1 million [doc:HA-latest]. Profitability metrics are weak, with a return on equity of -10.98% and a return on assets of -3.52%, both significantly below the industry median for exploration and production firms. The company reported a net loss of AUD 41.3 million and an operating loss of AUD 14.4 million in the latest period, indicating operational inefficiencies or cost overruns [doc:HA-latest]. The company operates through two segments: Southeast Australia and Cooper Basin. Revenue concentration is not disclosed, but the Southeast Australia segment includes offshore fields in the Gippsland and Otway basins, while the Cooper Basin segment involves crude oil production. The geographic exposure is primarily within Australia, with no material international operations [doc:HA-latest]. Growth trajectory is uncertain, with no explicit revenue growth or decline percentages provided in the outlook. However, the company’s capital expenditure of AUD 75.3 million and free cash flow of -AUD 3.2 million suggest reinvestment in operations rather than shareholder returns. Analysts have a mixed outlook, with a mean recommendation of 2.12 (leaning toward buy) and a mean price target of AUD 2.57 [doc:HA-latest]. Risk factors include liquidity constraints and operational losses. The company’s liquidity risk is rated as medium, and its net cash position is negative after subtracting total debt. Dilution risk is low, with no near-term pressure expected, and no adjustments to valuation metrics have been applied [doc:HA-latest]. Recent events include the publication of the latest financial snapshot and analyst estimates. No specific filings or transcripts are cited in the input data, but the company’s operational performance and capital structure are under active analyst review [doc:HA-latest].
