Financiële gezondheid
Over the trailing twelve months, the company reported a revenue of $2.14B, with a net income of $378.76M and an EBITDA of $623.55M. The substantial gap between the $2.14B revenue and the $378.76M net income reveals a robust cost structure where operating expenses, after accounting for interest and taxes, still allow the company to retain a significant portion of earnings as bottom-line profit. The business generated $179.75M in free cash flow, which provides the financial flexibility necessary to fund capital expenditures, reduce debt obligations, or pursue strategic acquisitions without immediate reliance on external financing. The company maintains a gross margin of 58.7%, reflecting high pricing power and efficient production costs inherent in its footwear manufacturing model. An operating margin of 19.0% demonstrates effective management of overhead expenses, while a profit margin of 17.7% confirms that the majority of revenue converts into net earnings after all costs are deducted. On the balance sheet, the company holds $229.23M in cash against $1.35B in debt, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 48.64, which suggests a leveraged capital structure where debt levels are nearly half the equity base. Despite the leverage, a current ratio of 3.13 indicates strong short-term liquidity, meaning the company has more than three times the current assets required to cover its current liabilities. Furthermore, a return on equity of 13.7% and a return on assets of 7.0% highlight the effectiveness of management in utilizing shareholder capital and total assets to generate returns above the cost of financing.
Waarderingsbeoordeling
The stock trades at a trailing twelve-month P/E ratio of 16.05 and a forward P/E of 13.45. The difference between the trailing and forward multiples implies that the market expects earnings to grow in the future, as investors are currently pricing the stock based on lower future earnings estimates relative to historical performance. The price-to-book ratio stands at 2.18, indicating that the market values the company at a significant premium of more than double its net asset book value. Alternative valuation metrics show a price-to-sales ratio of 3.27 and an EV/EBITDA of 13.01, suggesting that investors are willing to pay a premium for the company's revenue generation and earnings quality compared to peers with lower multiples. Regarding trading range volatility, the 52-week high is $59.50 and the 52-week low is $33.06. Without the specific current share price to calculate the exact percentage deviation, the available data confirms the stock's trading band has a spread of $26.44 between the highest and lowest points over the last year. The beta of 1.22 indicates that the stock's price volatility is 22% higher than the broader market, meaning it is more sensitive to market swings and may experience larger percentage moves during periods of market turbulence.
Growth & Income
The company demonstrated a revenue growth of 11.1% year over year alongside an earnings growth of 152.1% year over year. Earnings are growing significantly faster than revenue, which implies improved operational efficiency, cost savings, or a favorable product mix that is driving profitability at a much higher rate than top-line expansion. As a non-dividend payer, the company does not distribute cash to shareholders, evidenced by a dividend yield of N/A and a payout ratio of 0.0%. Consequently, the company reinvests its entire earnings back into the business to fuel expansion, marketing, and operational improvements rather than distributing income to investors. This strategy prioritizes internal funding for growth initiatives over providing current income to shareholders, aligning the capital allocation with a focus on long-term market share gains. Overall, the firm presents a growth-oriented profile characterized by double-digit revenue expansion and explosive earnings acceleration, while foregoing dividends to sustain capital deployment for future development.
