Koszalinskie Przedsiebiorstwo Przemyslu Drzewnego SA
KPPD SA's capital structure is characterized by a market price of 19.2 PLN per share and a market cap of 31,150,080 PLN, with a price-to-book ratio of 0.35 and a price-to-tangible-book ratio of 0.35, indicating a significant discount to book value. The company's liquidity position is moderate, with a current ratio of 1.17 and 8,822,000 PLN in cash and equivalents, but it has 25,025,000 PLN in long-term debt, resulting in a net cash position that is negative after subtracting total debt. Profitability metrics show a challenging performance, with a return on equity of -22.66% and a return on assets of -12.95%, both significantly below the industry median. The company reported a net loss of 20,274,000 PLN and an operating loss of 16,393,000 PLN, indicating a lack of operational profitability. Gross profit of 25,802,000 PLN is insufficient to cover operating expenses, contributing to the negative returns. The company's revenue is concentrated in the wood processing sector, with operations in sawmills and glued board production across Western Pomerania. It operates nine softwood sawmills, two hardwood sawmills, and a plant for glued boards, but there is no detailed breakdown of segment performance or geographic revenue distribution in the provided data. Growth trajectory is uncertain, with no specific outlook provided for the current or next fiscal year. The company has a history of operating cash flow of 9,092,000 PLN but a negative free cash flow of 2,494,000 PLN, suggesting that capital expenditures of 468,000 PLN are not being fully offset by cash generation. This may limit reinvestment and expansion opportunities. Risk factors include a medium liquidity risk due to the negative net cash position after debt, and a low dilution risk as shares outstanding remain unchanged between basic and diluted measures. The company has not disclosed any recent equity issuance or dilutive events, and there are no indications of near-term pressure for further dilution. Recent events include the liquidation of a branch in Szczecinek in August 2014, which may have impacted operational structure and cost base. No recent filings or transcripts are provided in the input data to indicate more recent developments or strategic shifts.
