ASX:AWV Income Statement Mar 1st 18
We can further evaluate Anova Metals’s loss by looking at what the industry has been experiencing over the past few years. Each year, for the past half a decade Anova Metals has seen an annual decline in revenue of -60.33%, on average. This adverse movement is a driver of the company’s inability to reach breakeven. Has the entire industry experienced this headwind? Viewing growth from a sector-level, the Australian metals and mining industry has been growing, albeit, at a subdued single-digit rate of 8.07% over the past year, and a substantial 13.69% over the past half a decade. This shows that whatever tailwind the industry is deriving benefit from, Anova Metals has not been able to realize the gains unlike its average peer.
What does this mean?
While past data is useful, it doesn’t tell the whole story. With companies that are currently loss-making, it is always hard to envisage what will occur going forward, and when. The most insightful step is to examine company-specific issues Anova Metals may be facing and whether management guidance has dependably been met in the past.
