Performance trend of Toda Kogyo <4100>
4. Financial Condition
Recorded 6 net losses in the past 10 periods until the year ending March 2022, and the self-capital ratio decreased from 46.5% at the end of the year ending March 2015 to 19.5% at the end of the year ending March 2021. However, the company achieved its highest net profit for the year ended March 2022, and the self-capital ratio improved to 24.2% at the end of the year ended March 2022 and 30.5% at the end of the year ended March 2023, but it dropped again to 25.8% for the year ending March 2024 due to the net loss attributable to parent company shareholders of 3,581 million yen.
Although investment has been suppressed as much as possible in cash flow, forward investment such as the acquisition of useful fixed assets was implemented from the year ending March 2023 to the year ending March 2024, and investment cash flow increased without being compensated by loan collection, etc. On the other hand, due to the difficult profitability, operating cash flow did not increase, and the outflow of cash from the previous period was 2,074 million yen. In addition, the balance of interest-bearing debt was 273.15 billion yen, an increase of 158.6 billion yen from the previous period-end, and the D/E ratio also deteriorated to 1.88, indicating that it will take time to improve the balance sheet.
