Priva has the mini clone of its business model and customer base to a successful company, what about the financial situation of it? To do a basic check on the company fundamental, take the profitability of the company into consideration first, the revenue for Priva showed strong improvement over the last 10 years, it recovered from loses since year 2009 and subsequently its revenue doubled in 3 years from 2009 to 2012. However, the profit margin is around 9%, not that superior for a multimedia and service based company. The growth of net profit is rather slow, not at double digit improvement, and that’s what we need to see in the future earning, the growth of net profit!
For the balance sheet, Priva isn’t possess a very strong balance sheet but at least, it has a healthy one, the current ratio is about 2 and the company gearing is at normal level, although the accumulation earning 19 million is not high enough as the paid up capital is as high as 456 million, but the steady data of the long term asset of Priva accompany with earning growth gives the clue of its sustainable competitive advantage. In addition, the operating cashflow of this company is also moving in a healthy and growing trait for the past 5 years.
Currently Priva is a small and emerging company, the overall financial performance is not as good as other, but to look into its future prospect, the current price provides a very good investment opportunity with attractive return. The IPO price should be the reasonable price for the company’s current situation and even higher if the company keep achieving more significant market position locally and internationally.
