PAL is bordering on breakeven, according to the 4 Entertainment analysts. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2021, before turning a profit of €6.5m in 2022. So, PAL is predicted to breakeven approximately 3 years from now. What rate will PAL have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, I calculated an average annual growth rate of 63%, which signals high confidence from analysts. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
Underlying developments driving PAL’s growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, but, bear in mind that generally a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.
Before I wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. PAL has managed its capital judiciously, with debt making up 36% of equity. This means that PAL has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital,and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
