Check out our latest analysis for ResApp Health
ResApp Health is bordering on breakeven, according to the 2 Australian Healthcare Services analysts. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2021, before turning a profit of AU$2.5m in 2022. So, the company is predicted to breakeven just over a year from today. In order to meet this breakeven date, we calculated the rate at which the company must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 115% is expected, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Underlying developments driving ResApp Health's growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, but, take into account that generally a healthcare tech company has lumpy cash flows which are contingent on the product and stage of development the company is in. This means, large upcoming growth rates are not abnormal as the company is beginning to reap the benefits of earlier investments.
One thing we’d like to point out is that ResApp Health has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning healthcare tech company, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. The company currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.
