DUG Technology Ltd Financial Statement Overview

Summary

The company exhibits strong revenue growth and gross profit margins. However, decreased net profit margins and negative free cash flow indicate challenges in profitability and capital expenditure management. The high debt-to-equity ratio also poses a financial risk.

Income Statement

The company has shown a significant improvement in revenue from the previous periods, with a revenue growth rate of 28.55% from 2023 to 2024. The gross profit margin is a strong 57.34%, indicating effective cost management. However, the net profit margin has decreased to 4.23%, suggesting higher expenses or lower operational efficiency. Despite the decrease in EBIT and EBITDA margins to 14.21% and 23.74% respectively, they remain relatively healthy, indicating stable operational profitability.

Balance Sheet

The company has a high debt-to-equity ratio of 1.19, which could pose a risk if earnings do not cover interest expenses. However, the return on equity is a modest 9.37%, showing the company is generating returns from its equity base. The equity ratio of 36.89% suggests a moderate level of financial leverage, but there is room for improvement in balance sheet stability.

Cash Flow

The free cash flow has decreased significantly, leading to a negative free cash flow of -19.21 million. The operating cash flow to net income ratio of 4.37 indicates strong cash generation relative to net income, but the free cash flow to net income ratio is negative, highlighting challenges in managing capital expenditures.
