Soosan Cebotics Co Ltd
Soosan Cebotics maintains a conservative capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.19 and a current ratio of 2.29, indicating strong short-term liquidity. Its liquidity_fpt score reflects manageable leverage, though net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, signaling potential refinancing needs. Profitability metrics show a return on equity (ROE) of 7.93% and return on assets (ROA) of 5.91%, outperforming the industry median for ROA but underperforming for ROE, suggesting asset efficiency but weaker equity returns. Gross margin of 24.02% (55.09 trillion KRW gross profit on 229.39 trillion KRW revenue) aligns with industry norms, but operating margin of 8.26% (18.96 trillion KRW operating income) indicates moderate cost control. Revenue is split between Special Equipment (truck cranes, hydraulic drills) and Attachments (hydraulic breakers), with geographic exposure concentrated in South Korea. No disclosed international revenue percentages suggest high domestic dependency, increasing vulnerability to local economic shifts. Outlook for FY2024 shows revenue growth of 4.2% YoY, driven by increased demand in construction and mining. Capital expenditure of -10.58 trillion KRW reflects reinvestment in production capacity, though free cash flow of 10.71 trillion KRW supports dividend sustainability. Risk assessment highlights medium liquidity risk due to negative net cash and low dilution risk, with no near-term equity issuance plans. Adjustments in custom_valuations reflect conservative leverage assumptions, but refinancing could pressure liquidity if debt maturities cluster. Recent filings and transcripts emphasize supply chain resilience and R&D in automation for hydraulic systems. No material litigation or regulatory actions were disclosed in the latest 10-K equivalent.
