Kolos Cement Ltd

Kolos Cement Ltd maintains a capital structure characterized by significant leverage, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.88. The company’s liquidity position is constrained, evidenced by a current ratio of 0.87, which falls below the standard threshold of 1.0, indicating potential short-term coverage challenges. Total liabilities stand at 896.6 million MUR against total equity of 608.6 million MUR, while long-term debt comprises 535.6 million MUR of the liability base. Operating cash flow is robust at 498.5 million MUR, but free cash flow is compressed to 50.7 million MUR due to capital expenditures of 65.3 million MUR, reflecting ongoing investment requirements.

Profitability metrics demonstrate strong operational efficiency, with a return on equity (ROE) of 42.62% and a return on assets (ROA) of 17.23%. These returns suggest effective utilization of the asset base and equity capital, although the absence of cohort median data prevents a direct comparative assessment against industry peers. The gross profit of 683.8 million MUR on revenue of 2.55 billion MUR indicates a gross margin of approximately 26.8%, while operating income of 372.2 million MUR reflects an operating margin of roughly 14.6%. Net income of 259.4 million MUR underscores the company’s ability to convert operating performance into bottom-line results despite the leverage burden.
