Green Cross Holdings Co Ltd

Green Cross Holdings maintains a conservative capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.57, below the industry median of 0.82. The company holds 4.7 billion JPY in cash and equivalents, but net cash is negative after subtracting long-term debt of 6.8 billion JPY. Operating cash flow of 3.3 billion JPY supports a current ratio of 1.7, indicating adequate short-term liquidity. Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 10.15% and return on assets of 4.64%, both below the industry median of 12.3% and 5.8%, respectively. Gross margin of 36.1% is in line with the sector average, but operating margin of 7.2% lags behind the 9.1% median, suggesting operational inefficiencies or pricing pressures. The company operates as a holding company with disclosed segments focused on safety equipment and sign media. Geographic exposure is concentrated in Japan, with no material international revenue disclosed. Segment profitability data is not available in the latest filings, limiting visibility into revenue diversification. Outlook for FY2024 shows revenue growth of 6.2% to 27.9 billion JPY, with operating income expected to expand by 4.8% to 2.0 billion JPY. Capital expenditures of -1.7 billion JPY suggest asset optimization rather than expansion. The company has not disclosed segment-specific growth targets. Risk assessment highlights medium liquidity risk due to negative net cash and a low dilution risk score. No material dilution events are disclosed in the latest 10-K equivalent filing. The company has not issued shares in the past 12 months, and no ATM or shelf registration is currently active. Recent filings include a 2023 annual report disclosing revenue by segment and a 2024 Q1 earnings release showing improved operating margins. No material litigation or regulatory actions are disclosed in the past 12 months.
