ArcelorMittal Hunedoara SA
ArcelorMittal Hunedoara SA has a liquidity position characterized by a current ratio of 0.25, indicating that its current liabilities significantly exceed its current assets. The company holds RON 73,258,920 in cash and equivalents, but its operating cash flow is negative at RON -24,087,510, and free cash flow is RON -239,461,930. This suggests a reliance on external financing or asset sales to meet short-term obligations. Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 53.35%, which is unusually high given the company's negative net income of RON -256,048,070. This is due to the negative equity base of RON -479,934,270, which inflates the ROE ratio. The return on assets is -1.62%, indicating that the company is not generating positive returns on its asset base. These figures are below the industry median for profitability in the Iron & Steel sector. The company's revenue is concentrated in Romania and international markets such as Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, and Croatia. However, the financial data does not provide a breakdown of revenue by segment or geography, making it difficult to assess the extent of geographic concentration risk. Growth trajectory is negative, with the company reporting a net loss and negative operating and free cash flows. The outlook for the current fiscal year does not indicate a reversal of this trend, and there is no data provided for the next fiscal year. The company's capital expenditures are minimal at RON -5,164,990, suggesting a lack of investment in growth initiatives. The risk assessment indicates low liquidity and dilution risk, with no immediate filing-based liquidity or dilution flags detected. However, the company's negative equity and high debt-to-equity ratio (0.0) suggest potential financial instability. The dilution potential is low, but the company's negative equity could lead to further dilution if it requires additional capital. Recent events include the company's continued operation in the metallurgical industry, with no significant changes in ownership or strategic direction reported. The company's financial performance has been negatively impacted by operational challenges, as evidenced by the negative operating income of RON -247,439,160.
