PASA’s capital structure shows a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.99, indicating a balanced mix of debt and equity financing. The company holds cash and equivalents of MXN 1.34 billion, but net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, signaling potential liquidity constraints. The price-to-book ratio of 1.56 and price-to-tangible-book ratio of 1.56 suggest the market values the company slightly above its book value, while the price-to-earnings ratio of 17.09 and EV/EBITDA of 8.68 indicate moderate valuation relative to earnings and cash flow. Profitability metrics show a return on equity (ROE) of 9.16% and return on assets (ROA) of 3.6%, both below the typical thresholds for high-performing industrial firms. The operating margin of 10.56% (calculated from operating income of MXN 813.35 million on revenue of MXN 7.71 billion) is in line with industry norms, but the net margin of 3.9% (MXN 300.91 million on MXN 7.71 billion revenue) is relatively low, suggesting pressure from operating expenses or taxes. The company’s revenue is concentrated across four segments: Waste Management Services, Water and Biotechnology, Oil Industry Services, and Ecomar. No geographic breakdown is provided, but the company operates primarily in Mexico, with no disclosed international revenue streams. This concentration may expose the company to regional economic or regulatory risks. PASA’s growth trajectory is modest, with no specific revenue growth rate provided in the latest financials. The company’s free cash flow of MXN 369.58 million and operating cash flow of MXN 1.69 billion suggest it generates sufficient cash to fund operations and potentially reinvest in the business. However, capital expenditures of MXN 894.66 million indicate ongoing investment in infrastructure or expansion. Risk factors include medium liquidity risk due to negative net cash and a current ratio of 2.08, which is acceptable but not robust. The company’s debt load of MXN 3.26 billion may limit flexibility in capital allocation. Dilution risk is assessed as low, with no significant changes in shares outstanding between basic and diluted shares. Recent events include the acquisition of a 70% stake in Environmental Management Group, Inc. in December 2013, which expanded PASA’s environmental services portfolio. No recent filings or transcripts are provided in the input data to indicate more recent strategic or operational developments.
