Synthesis
Dandot Cement Company Ltd operates in the construction materials sector, generating revenue through the production and sale of cement and related products.
Dandot Cement Company Ltd maintains a capital structure characterized by significant leverage and constrained liquidity. The company reports total assets of PKR 14.12 billion against total liabilities of PKR 10.24 billion, resulting in total equity of PKR 3.88 billion. Long-term debt stands at PKR 4.82 billion, yielding a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.24. Liquidity is tight, evidenced by a current ratio of 0.52, indicating that current liabilities exceed current assets. Operating cash flow is negative at PKR -98.1 million, although free cash flow remains positive at PKR 160.7 million due to lower capital expenditures of PKR 96.3 million.
Profitability metrics indicate operational challenges despite positive operating income. The company generated revenue of PKR 6.34 billion with a gross profit of PKR 592.7 million, resulting in an operating income of PKR 502.5 million. However, net income is negative at PKR -153.1 million, likely due to interest expenses or other non-operating charges. Return on equity is 1.3% and return on assets is 0.36%, reflecting low efficiency in generating profits from its asset base and equity. Without cohort median data, these returns appear low relative to typical industrial standards, suggesting margin pressure or high fixed costs.
