Ferrellgas Partners LP

Ferrellgas Partners LP operates with a negative equity position of -$369.3 million and a debt-to-equity ratio of -4.08, indicating a highly leveraged capital structure. The company holds $96.9 million in cash and equivalents but faces $1.51 billion in long-term debt, resulting in a liquidity risk flagged as medium. The current ratio of 0.37 suggests limited short-term liquidity to cover immediate liabilities. Profitability metrics show a return on assets of -1.1%, indicating asset underperformance, while the return on equity of 4.22% is misleading due to the negative equity base. The company reported a net loss of $15.6 million, with operating income of $90.1 million, suggesting operational efficiency is not translating into profitability. The company's revenue of $1.94 billion is derived from propane distribution and portable tank exchanges, with Blue Rhino being a key brand. However, the financial snapshot does not provide segment-specific revenue breakdowns, limiting visibility into geographic or product concentration. Outlook data is not provided in the input, but the company's free cash flow of -$126.1 million and capital expenditure of -$80.0 million suggest ongoing investment and cash outflows. The negative net income and operating cash flow of $136.3 million indicate a mismatch between operational cash generation and capital needs. Risk factors include a medium liquidity risk and a negative net cash position after subtracting total debt. The dilution risk is assessed as low, with no significant dilution sources identified in the input data. Recent events include the reported financial results, with the last actual EPS at -$0.28 and revenue at $1.498 billion. No additional filings or transcripts are provided in the input to detail recent strategic or operational developments.
