Financial results

Monetary columns are in M USD, one decimal; scale (K/M/B/T) keeps values readable. For the period (default) shows P&L and cash flow for that row’s reporting window: quarterly amounts when the feed uses quarter-duration facts (typical US 10-Q revenue and income), quarterly cash flows after stripping YTD where only cumulative tags exist, and an implied Q4 on 31 Dec FY rows (P&L: FY minus Q1–Q3; operating / investing cash flow: FY 12m minus 9M YTD to 30 Sep when sourced from SEC builder evidence) so they match 10-Q scale. Some issuers still use cumulative YTD minus the prior row in the same calendar year. As reported shows values stored on each row (e.g. full-year on FY). Balance sheet is always as reported. Source JSON may use millions etc.; conversion uses amounts_unit per row.

Profit and cash

Profit is broadly cash-backed
In a typical year of 2023–2025 operating cash flow came to 0.84x of reported net profit; after capex, -0.53x. Loss years (2024, 2025) are left out of the ratio.
year202320242025
cash flow / profit0.84x——
accruals, % of assets1.4%-11.2%-10.9%
Last twelve months (to 2026-06-30): 8.03x of profit came back as operating cash flow.
net debt / EBITDA 2.5x · capex 2.6x of depreciation
Read from the reported annual statements: cash flow / profit is the median of the yearly operating cash flow over net profit for the years shown; accruals are (profit − operating cash flow) / assets, the classic gap between what was booked and what was collected. A gap can be growth in working capital, capitalised costs, revaluations or profit from associates — the panel points at it, the statements explain it. Not investment advice.

Group median 7.6x; this company 12.9x — a 69% premium.

Group average 10.1x; against the average this company is at a 27% premium. The average sits 33% above the median: Wheaton Precious Metals (21.4x) skews the group.

At the adjusted group median the market cap would be -48% versus today.

The gap and the implied upside are measured against the median: one richly priced peer moves an average, not a median. The market adjustment uses our coverage medians (US 20.4x, Russia 3.7x, South Africa 5.0x, Kazakhstan 4.6x, India 18.6x, Indonesia 5.4x); it is about where a name is listed, not what it does.
