AAK AB Financial Statement Overview

Summary

AAK AB exhibits strong profitability with stable margins and a solid balance sheet, positioning it well within the packaged foods industry. However, challenges in cash flow management, particularly the negative free cash flow, could pose risks if not addressed.

Income Statement

AAK AB demonstrates strong profitability with a consistent gross profit margin above 25% and a net profit margin around 7%. The company has shown resilience in revenue growth, recovering from a decline in 2023 to a positive growth rate in TTM. EBIT and EBITDA margins are stable, indicating efficient operations. However, the slight decline in gross profit margin from 2024 to TTM suggests potential cost pressures.

Balance Sheet

The company's balance sheet is solid with a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.27 in TTM, reflecting prudent financial management. Return on equity remains robust at approximately 17.7%, indicating effective use of equity capital. The equity ratio is healthy, suggesting a strong asset base. However, the increase in total debt from 2024 to TTM warrants monitoring.

Cash Flow

AAK AB's cash flow performance is mixed. While operating cash flow is positive, the free cash flow is negative in TTM, indicating potential cash management challenges. The free cash flow growth rate has improved significantly, but the negative free cash flow to net income ratio highlights cash flow volatility. The operating cash flow to net income ratio is low, suggesting limited cash conversion efficiency.
