Warning signs

2 flagged
  • Heavily indebted Net debt is 6.5 times EBITDA — roughly 7 years of earnings before interest, tax and depreciation to repay borrowings in full.
  • Profit not backed by cash Reported profit of $57.2M came with -$5.5M of operating cash flow. Profit that cash does not follow is the classic signature of aggressive accounting.
