ASX:WLF Income Statement Dec 6th 17
Additionally, we can examine Wolf Minerals’s loss by researching what’s going on in the industry along with within the company. Firstly, I want to briefly look into the line items. Revenue growth over past few years has grew by 69.83%, implying that Wolf Minerals is in a high-growth phase with expenses racing ahead high top-line growth rates. Scanning growth from a sector-level, the Australian metals and mining industry has been growing, albeit, at a muted single-digit rate of 6.76% over the past year, and a substantial 11.62% over the previous few years. This means any tailwind the industry is deriving benefit from, Wolf Minerals has not been able to leverage it as much as its industry peers.
What does this mean?
While past data is useful, it doesn’t tell the whole story. Companies that incur net loss is always difficult to envisage what will occur going forward, and when. The most insightful step is to examine company-specific issues Wolf Minerals may be facing and whether management guidance has steadily been met in the past.
