Besterra Co Ltd

Besterra maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 2.15 and cash and equivalents of ¥1.43 billion, which is well above the industry median for capital-intensive construction firms. The company's liquidity_fpt score of 0.89 indicates robust short-term financial flexibility, supported by operating cash flow of ¥1.65 billion and free cash flow of ¥574 million. Profitability metrics show Besterra outperforms the industry median in return on equity (13.57% vs. 9.2%) and return on assets (8.79% vs. 6.1%). Gross margin of 20.1% and operating margin of 7.5% align with the industry, but net margin of 6.6% is slightly below the 7.3% median, suggesting higher effective tax rates or non-operating expenses. The company's revenue is concentrated in Japan, with no disclosed international operations. Segment-wise, demolition and general engineering services account for the majority of revenue, while dispatching and aerospace design contribute smaller but growing portions. No material revenue concentration in a single customer or region is reported. Outlook for FY2024 shows revenue growth of 4.2% YoY, driven by increased demand for industrial decommissioning and infrastructure renewal. Capital expenditure of -¥8.3 million indicates minimal capex requirements, and the company is expected to maintain free cash flow generation. The next fiscal year projects a 3.1% revenue increase, supported by new contracts in the energy sector. Risk assessment indicates low liquidity and dilution risk, with no immediate filing-based flags. The debt-to-equity ratio of 0.11 is well below the industry median of 0.45, and no dilution sources were identified in recent filings. The company's conservative capital structure and strong cash position reduce financial risk. Recent events include the release of FY2023 financial results, which confirmed revenue of ¥11.14 billion and EPS of ¥81.35, in line with analyst estimates. No material regulatory or litigation risks were disclosed in the latest 10-K equivalent filing.
