Advanced Oxygen Technologies Inc (AOXY) delivered QQ3 2024 results reflecting stable revenue with strong gross profitability and EBITDA-driven operating performance, but the company faces meaningful liquidity and balance sheet headwinds. Reported revenue of 10.77 million USD remained flat to modestly higher versus prior quarters, with gross profit of 10.77 million and a reported operating income of 5.39 million, yielding an operating margin near 50%. Net income registered 2.52 million, driven by a high gross profit base and favorable non-cash accounting entries, contributing to a robust net margin of approximately 23.4% for the period. YoY net income surged by over 1,600% in the quarter, underscoring a low base effect and potential one-time elements rather than a recurring growth trajectory. QoQ metrics also show modest improvements in revenue and operating earnings, but the QoQ net income declined about 26.6%, signaling earnings quality questions that warrant closer monitoring.
Liquidity and balance sheet dynamics remain a key concern. The current ratio stood at 0.31, indicating near-term liquidity pressure despite positive operating cash flow of approximately 9.99 million USD for the quarter. Cash at period end was 105.2 million USD, with short-term debt of 127.0 million and total liabilities of 345.8 million against equity of roughly 344.8 million, including a substantial accumulated deficit (retained earnings) of -20.76 billion USD in the ledger. Net debt stood at about 21.8 million USD, and cash flow from financing included a debt repayment of 10.0 million USD alongside a currency impact of -2.76 million USD, contributing to a negative net change in cash for the period. These indicators point to a capital structure that is relatively leveraged for a services-oriented real estate vehicle and will require monitoring of debt maturity, liquidity cushions, and potential asset-light expansion opportunities.
