Caelum Co Ltd

Caelum's capital structure shows a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.51, indicating moderate leverage relative to equity. The company holds 13,804,202,730 KRW in cash and equivalents, but this is offset by long-term debt of 22,912,502,770 KRW, resulting in a net cash position of -9,108,300,040 KRW. The current ratio of 1.54 suggests acceptable short-term liquidity, though the negative net cash position raises concerns about long-term solvency. Profitability metrics are weak, with a return on equity of -5.61% and a return on assets of -3.15%, both significantly below the industry median for Renewable Energy Equipment & Services. Operating income is negative at -2,367,249,050 KRW, and net income is also negative at -2,518,584,410 KRW, indicating operational challenges. The company operates through three segments: Chemical and LNG Facility Business, Geothermal Power Plant Business, and Product Business. Revenue concentration data is not available, but the Product Business segment suggests exposure to both domestic and international markets. The Geothermal Power Plant Business aligns with the company's Renewable Energy classification, though its contribution to overall profitability is unclear. Growth trajectory is mixed. Revenue for the latest period is 81,698,394,490 KRW, but operating cash flow is only 5,174,843,570 KRW, and free cash flow is negative at -311,266,530 KRW. Capital expenditures of -174,346,860 KRW suggest ongoing investment, but the negative net income and operating income indicate that these investments are not yet generating returns. Risk factors include medium liquidity risk due to the negative net cash position and a current ratio that, while acceptable, does not fully offset the leverage. Dilution risk is assessed as low, with no near-term pressure from share issuance or convertible instruments. However, the company's negative operating and net income raise concerns about its ability to sustain operations without further financing. Recent events include a reported EPS of -156.00 KRW, reflecting the company's current unprofitability.
