ASX:SAN Income Statement Mar 6th 18
We can further assess Sagalio Energy’s loss by looking at what the industry has been experiencing over the past few years. Each year, for the past half a decade Sagalio Energy’s top-line has risen by 57.43% on average, indicating that the company is in a high-growth period with expenses racing ahead revenues, leading to annual losses. Looking at growth from a sector-level, the Australian oil and gas industry has been multiplying growth, more than doubling average earnings over the prior year, and a more muted 7.32% over the past five years. This shows that any tailwind the industry is profiting from, Sagalio Energy 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. Companies that incur net loss is always difficult to envisage what will happen in the future and when. The most useful step is to assess company-specific issues Sagalio Energy may be facing and whether management guidance has regularly been met in the past.
