Synthesis
ISS A/S operates as a global facility services provider, generating revenue through integrated workplace solutions and facility management contracts.
ISS A/S maintains a leveraged capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.54 and a current ratio of 0.73, indicating reliance on short-term liabilities to fund operations. The company holds DKK 1.71 billion in cash against DKK 15.08 billion in long-term debt, resulting in a net cash position that is negative after subtracting total debt. Operating cash flow stands at DKK 3.99 billion, providing coverage for the DKK 667 million in capital expenditures and yielding DKK 3.06 billion in free cash flow. The market capitalization is DKK 46.46 billion, trading at a price-to-book multiple of 4.75.
Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 26.63% and a return on assets of 5.71%, driven by an operating income of DKK 4.03 billion on DKK 84.68 billion in revenue. The gross profit margin is approximately 91.5%, reflecting the service-intensive nature of the business where direct costs are managed through labor and subcontracting efficiencies. The net income of DKK 2.60 billion results in a net margin of roughly 3.1%, consistent with the low-margin, high-volume model typical of facility services. The enterprise value to EBITDA multiple of 14.86 suggests the market prices the company at a premium relative to its earnings power, while the EV-to-revenue ratio of 0.71 indicates a valuation anchored in top-line scale.
