Action:ReiteratedDate:01/20/26
The score is driven primarily by weak financial performance, including sustained losses, a steep 2024 revenue decline, and balance-sheet strain from higher debt and negative equity. Technical indicators provide some short-term support, but valuation is constrained by loss-making fundamentals and the absence of dividend yield data.
Positive Factors
Positive operating cash flow
Consistent positive operating cash flow (improving to ~€11.9M in 2024) provides an enduring funding source for operations despite accounting losses. This OCF supports runway, reduces immediate refinancing need, and enables continued investment in content and platform capabilities over months.
Relatively healthy gross margins
Sustained gross margins near mid-to-high double digits indicate content and platform economics that can cover variable costs. If revenue stabilizes, these margins enable operating leverage and faster recovery of profitability because a large share of incremental revenue can drop to the bottom line.
Streaming + B2B platform services
A dual business model—direct streaming/VOD and third-party streaming infrastructure—creates diversified, potentially recurring revenue streams. B2B services can generate longer-term contracts and stickiness, reducing single-market exposure and benefiting from structural growth in digital distribution.
Negative Factors
Recurring losses & revenue collapse
Multi-year net losses combined with a ~74% revenue decline and a ~-82% net margin in 2024 indicate persistent demand or monetization issues. Such structural underperformance weakens reinvestment capacity, damages market position, and lengthens recovery time even if operational fixes are implemented.
Rising debt and negative equity
A sharp increase in leverage and negative equity materially raise refinancing and solvency risk. This reduces strategic flexibility, increases interest burden, and makes the company vulnerable to funding shocks—constraints that can persist for months and impair long-term investment plans.
Negative free cash flow
A move to materially negative free cash flow despite positive OCF signals heavy capex or working-capital pressure. Sustained FCF deficits require external financing or asset sales, which can dilute shareholders, increase leverage, or force strategic retrenchment over the medium term.

How the Company Makes Money

PANTAFLIX AG Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Very weak profitability and stability: recurring net losses (2020–2024), a sharp 2024 revenue drop (~-74% YoY), and worsening margins (2024 net margin about -82%). Balance sheet risk is elevated with higher debt and negative equity in 2024, partly offset by positive operating cash flow (~11.9M in 2024) despite negative free cash flow (~-8.2M).
Income Statement
22
Negative
Profitability remains weak: the company has reported net losses each year from 2020–2024, with 2024 net margin deteriorating to about -82% versus roughly -10% in 2023. Revenue performance is also volatile and recently collapsed, with 2024 revenue down ~74% year over year after a strong 2023 rebound. While gross margins stayed relatively healthy in 2023–2024 (~67% to ~58%), operating performance turned sharply negative in 2024 (negative EBITDA), highlighting a cost base that is not scaling down with revenue.
Balance Sheet
12
Very Negative
Leverage and solvency risk increased materially. Total debt rose sharply to ~59.8M in 2024 from ~36.3M in 2023, while equity turned negative in 2024 (from ~2.6M positive in 2023), implying balance sheet strain and limited financial flexibility. The combination of higher debt and negative equity meaningfully raises refinancing risk and reduces the company’s cushion against continued operating losses.
Cash Flow
38
Negative
Cash generation is mixed. Operating cash flow was positive across the period and improved to ~11.9M in 2024 (vs ~7.1M in 2023), which is a key support despite accounting losses. However, free cash flow swung to a sizable deficit in 2024 (~-8.2M) from positive in 2023 (~1.6M) and very strong in 2021–2022, signaling heavier cash investment and/or working-capital drag. Overall, cash flow quality is less consistent than earlier years.
