Price Target:
kr18.00
▼(-2.81% Downside)
The score is weighed down primarily by very weak financial performance (shrinking revenue, deep losses, and heavy cash burn). Technicals also point to a weak downtrend (below major moving averages with negative MACD). Valuation provides limited offset because the negative P/E reflects ongoing losses and no dividend support is shown.
Positive Factors
Strong Equity Position
A strong equity position with an 85.8% equity ratio provides financial stability and reduces reliance on external debt, supporting long-term resilience.
Low Debt Levels
Low debt levels reduce financial risk and interest obligations, allowing the company more flexibility to navigate financial challenges and invest in growth.
Established Partnerships
Strong partnerships with major OEMs enhance market reach and sales volume, providing a steady revenue stream and potential for future growth.
Negative Factors
Declining Revenues
Declining revenues indicate reduced market demand or competitive pressures, challenging the company's ability to sustain operations and invest in growth.
Negative Profit Margins
Negative profit margins reflect operational inefficiencies and pricing pressures, limiting the company's ability to generate profits and reinvest in the business.
Negative Cash Flow
Negative cash flow indicates cash management challenges, constraining the company's ability to fund operations and growth initiatives without external financing.

Fingerprint Cards Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Overall fundamentals are weak: revenue has fallen sharply (~46% YoY pace), the company is deeply loss-making (TTM net loss -110.1M), and cash burn is severe (TTM operating cash flow -102.3M; free cash flow -100.3M). The main offset is a relatively strong balance sheet with very low leverage (TTM debt 3.6M vs equity 286.8M), which reduces near-term solvency risk but does not fix profitability/cash flow deterioration.
Income Statement
12
Very Negative
Profitability is very weak and deteriorating. TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) revenue fell sharply to 95.9M (down ~46% from the prior year pace), while the company remains deeply loss-making with a net loss of -110.1M and negative operating profit. A positive is that gross margin has rebounded to ~40% in TTM versus low-teens in recent annual periods, suggesting better pricing/mix or cost actions; however, operating costs still overwhelm gross profit, keeping margins firmly negative.
Balance Sheet
62
Positive
Leverage is low and has improved meaningfully over time, with TTM debt of 3.6M against equity of 286.8M (very modest debt relative to equity). This reduces near-term balance-sheet risk. The key weakness is ongoing value erosion: returns on equity are strongly negative in TTM (losses continue to consume the equity base), and total assets have contracted materially versus prior years, consistent with a business that has been shrinking.
Cash Flow
9
Very Negative
Cash generation is a major concern. TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) operating cash flow is -102.3M and free cash flow is -100.3M, indicating continued cash burn alongside accounting losses. While free cash flow is roughly in line with net losses in TTM (suggesting limited non-cash offsets), the trajectory remains unfavorable with negative free-cash-flow growth and persistent outflows across recent years.
