Investors are always looking for growth in small-cap stocks like Casta Diva Group S.p.A. (
BIT:CDG
),how long is ketamine in your urine with a market cap of €11m. However, an important fact which most ignore is: how financially healthy is the business? Since CDG is loss-making right now, it’s vital to understand the current state of its operations and pathway to profitability. Here are few basic financial health checks you should consider before taking the plunge. Though, I know these factors are very high-level, so I recommend you

.
Does CDG produce enough cash relative to debt?
Over the past year, CDG has ramped up its debt from €2.8m to €3.5m , which accounts for long term debt. With this growth in debt, the current cash and short-term investment levels stands at €649k for investing into the business. Moving onto cash from operations, its operating cash flow is not yet significant enough to calculate a meaningful cash-to-debt ratio, indicating that operational efficiency is something we’d need to take a look at. For this article’s sake, I won’t be looking at this today, but you can assess some of CDG’s
operating efficiency ratios such as ROA here
.
Can CDG pay its short-term liabilities?
With current liabilities at €9.9m, it seems that the business has maintained a safe level of current assets to meet its obligations, with the current ratio last standing at 1.06x. Usually, for Entertainment companies, this is a suitable ratio since there is a bit of a cash buffer without leaving too much capital in a low-return environment.

Is CDG’s debt level acceptable?
With a debt-to-equity ratio of 52%, CDG can be considered as an above-average leveraged company. This is not uncommon for a small-cap company given that debt tends to be lower-cost and at times, more accessible. But since CDG is presently loss-making, sustainability of its current state of operations becomes a concern. Maintaining a high level of debt, while revenues are still below costs, can be dangerous as liquidity tends to dry up in unexpected downturns.
Next Steps:
CDG’s high cash coverage means that, although its debt levels are high, the company is able to utilise its borrowings efficiently in order to generate cash flow. Since there is also no concerns around CDG’s liquidity needs, this may be its optimal capital structure for the time being. This is only a rough assessment of financial health, and I’m sure CDG has company-specific issues impacting its capital structure decisions. I recommend you continue to research Casta Diva Group to get a more holistic view of the small-cap by looking at:
