According to the industry analysts covering FPC, breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2020, before generating positive profits of CA$3m in 2021. FPC is therefore projected to breakeven around a couple of months from now! In order to meet this breakeven date, I calculated the rate at which FPC must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 64% is expected, 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 FPC’s growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, however, keep in mind that by and large metals and mining companies, depending on the stage of operation and metals mined, have irregular periods of cash flow. This means that a high growth rate is not unusual, especially if the company is currently in an investment period.
Before I wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. FPC has managed its capital prudently, with debt making up 11% of equity. This means that FPC has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital,and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
