ECL key metrics
ECL strengths
What Everest Colour Limited's own accounts show in its favour, graded against the rest of its sector.
- Debt sits at just 0.02x of shareholders' money, so lenders have little claim on the company. (Leverage & Solvency)
- Can settle its short term bills 5.84x over, so it is unlikely to run short of cash. (Liquidity)
- Sales grew 49.6% on last year, so more customers are buying or prices have risen. (Growth)
- Profits cover the interest bill 36.45x over, so loan payments are comfortably affordable. (Leverage & Solvency)
- Profit grew 574.8% on last year, and it is growing faster than most costs. (Growth)
- Covers short term bills 4.53x over even without selling any stock, which is a strong cash position. (Liquidity)
- Shareholders' stake in the company grew 28.6% over the year, so value is building up. (Shareholder Returns)
- 87.2% of everything it owns was paid for by shareholders rather than borrowed. (Leverage & Solvency)
- Keeps 49.9% of every sale after paying to make the product, leaving room for running costs and profit. (Margins)
- Turns 14.9% of every sale into final profit after all costs, interest and tax. (Margins)
- What the company owns grew 24.8%, which usually means it is investing to get bigger. (Growth)
- Earns 7.3% a year on everything it owns, so its buildings, stock and cash are being put to work. (Profitability)
- Buildings and machinery are a modest 41% of assets, so it is not tied to heavy fixed costs. (Efficiency)
- Holds cash worth 11% of everything it owns, a useful buffer for a difficult year. (Liquidity)
ECL weaknesses
What the same accounts show against it. Both lists are computed from the filed figures, not opinion, and are not advice.
- EBIT margin is 14.3%, below what most of its peers earn before interest and tax. (Profitability)
- Return on the money tied up in the business is 7.8%, so capital is not working hard. (Profitability)
- Stock turns over 1.86x a year, so cash stays tied up in unsold goods. (Efficiency)
- Past profits are 0% of shareholder funds, so little has been kept in the business. (Shareholder Returns)
- Return on shareholders' money is 8.4%, less than most savers would expect. (Profitability)
- Operating margin is 13.9%, so running costs take too much of what the core business earns. (Margins)
- Every rupee of assets brings in only 0.49x of sales, so its assets generate little trade. (Efficiency)
