GMO Research & AI,Inc. Financial Statement Overview

Summary

GMO Research & AI, Inc. demonstrates solid financial health with strong balance sheet metrics and consistent operational efficiency. However, recent declines in revenue and net income signal potential challenges ahead. The company manages its debt well, but improving cash flow generation and sustaining revenue growth are crucial for future success.

Income Statement

The company's revenue has shown volatility, with a decline from 2023 to 2024. Although gross profit margins have remained stable around 50%, the net profit margin has decreased from 2023 to 2024, indicating potential challenges in cost management. Stability in EBIT and EBITDA margins suggests operational efficiency but the recent decline in net income is a concern.

Balance Sheet

The company exhibits strong financial stability with a low debt-to-equity ratio, suggesting prudent leverage management. The equity ratio is healthy, indicating a strong capital base. However, the return on equity has weakened from 2023 to 2024, reflecting reduced profitability from shareholders' equity.

Cash Flow

The cash flow position is relatively stable, with positive free cash flow and a reasonable operating cash flow to net income ratio. However, the decline in free cash flow from 2023 to 2024 raises concerns about future cash generation capabilities. The company maintains a strong liquidity position.
