Viel et Compagnie SA

Viel et Compagnie SA maintains a leveraged capital structure with total liabilities of 2.38 billion EUR against total equity of 585.4 million EUR. The debt-to-equity ratio stands at 0.86, indicating moderate leverage, while the current ratio of 1.39 suggests adequate short-term liquidity coverage. The company holds 194.6 million EUR in cash and equivalents, but this is offset by 504.2 million EUR in long-term debt, resulting in a net cash position that is negative after subtracting total debt. Operating cash flow of 128.3 million EUR supports the balance sheet, with free cash flow reaching 150.2 million EUR after capital expenditures of 25.5 million EUR.

Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 21.6% and a return on assets of 4.26%. The company generated 1.27 billion EUR in revenue and 126.4 million EUR in net income for the latest period. Operating income was 193.5 million EUR, reflecting an operating margin of approximately 15.3%. Without cohort median data for direct comparison, these returns appear robust for a financial services entity, particularly the high ROE relative to the asset base.

Segment and geographic revenue breakdowns are not provided in the available data. The company's activity is broadly classified under Capital Markets, but specific product lines or regional exposures cannot be detailed from the current input.

Growth trajectory analysis is limited by the absence of historical period data. The latest actual revenue reported in IR observations is 1.08 billion EUR, which differs from the financial snapshot revenue of 1.27 billion EUR, potentially indicating a difference in reporting periods or adjustments. Without multi-year historical data, year-over-year growth rates cannot be calculated.

Risk assessment indicates medium liquidity risk and low dilution risk. A key flag notes that net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, highlighting reliance on debt financing. The shares outstanding basic and diluted counts are identical at 62.98 million, confirming no immediate dilution from options or warrants.

Recent IR observations note an analyst estimate for last actual revenue of 1.08 billion EUR. No specific filing, news, or transcript observations are provided in the input data.
