Here's Why We're Not Too Worried About Felix Group Holdings' (ASX:FLX) Cash Burn Situation
We can readily understand why investors are attracted to unprofitable companies. For example, biotech and mining exploration companies often lose money for years before finding success with a new treatment or mineral discovery. Nonetheless, only a fool would ignore the risk that a loss making company burns through its cash too quickly. So should Felix Group Holdings (ASX:FLX) shareholders be worried about its cash burn? For the purpose of this article, we'll define cash burn as the amount of cash the company is spending each year to fund its growth (also called its negative free cash flow). We'll start by comparing its cash burn with its cash reserves in order to calculate its cash runway. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. A company's cash runway is calculated by dividing its cash hoard by its cash burn. As at December 2024, Felix Group Holdings had cash of AU$2.3m and no debt. In the last year, its cash burn was AU$2.0m. That means it had a cash runway of around 14 months as of December 2024. While that cash runway isn't too concerning, sensible holders would be peering into the distance, and considering what happens if the company runs out of cash. Depicted below, you can see how its cash holdings have changed over time. View our latest analysis for Felix Group Holdings Happily, Felix Group Holdings is travelling in the right direction when it comes to its cash burn, which is down 57% over the last year. Pleasingly, this was achieved with the help of a 28% boost to revenue. We think it is growing rather well, upon reflection. In reality, this article only makes a short study of the company's growth data. This graph of historic earnings and revenue shows how Felix Group Holdings is building its business over time. Even though it seems like Felix Group Holdings is developing its business nicely, we still like to consider how easily it could raise more money to accelerate growth. Generally speaking, a listed business can raise new cash through issuing shares or taking on debt. Commonly, a business will sell new shares in itself to raise cash and drive growth. We can compare a company's cash burn to its market capitalisation to get a sense for how many new shares a company would have to issue to fund one year's operations. Since it has a market capitalisation of AU$39m, Felix Group Holdings' AU$2.0m in cash burn equates to about 5.1% of its market value. Given that is a rather small percentage, it would probably be really easy for the company to fund another year's growth by issuing some new shares to investors, or even by taking out a loan. Felix Group Holdings appears to be in pretty good health when it comes to its cash burn situation. Not only was its cash burn reduction quite good, but its cash burn relative to its market cap was a real positive. Considering all the factors discussed in this article, we're not overly concerned about the company's cash burn, although we do think shareholders should keep an eye on how it develops. On another note, Felix Group Holdings has 4 warning signs (and 2 which don't sit too well with us) we think you should know about. Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere.

US' Foot Locker's sales decline 4.6%, to $1,788 mn in Q1
Total sales of American footwear retailer Foot Locker were down 4.6 per cent, to $1,788 million, as compared with sales of $1,874 million in the first quarter of 2024. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, total sales for the first quarter decreased by 4.5 per cent. Comparable sales decreased by 2.6 per cent, with comparable sales in the North American region decreasing by 0.5 per cent. Comparable sales in the company's international businesses decreased by 8.5 per cent, led by softness in Foot Locker Europe. Foot Locker reported Q1 sales of $1.79 billion, down 4.6 per cent y-o-y, with comparable sales falling 2.6 per cent. North America saw a 0.5 per cent drop, while international sales declined 8.5 per cent. Gross margin decreased by 40 basis points, and SG&A rose 100 basis points as a percentage of sales. The company opened 9 stores, closed 56, and updated 80 locations. Gross margin decreased by 40 basis points as compared with the prior-year period. Merchandise margins decreased by 10 basis points, while occupancy as a percentage of sales increased by 30 basis points as compared to the prior-year period, the company said in a press release. "We are continuing to execute our Lace Up Plan strategies as we look forward to the successful completion of our transaction with DICK'S Sporting Goods. As we noted at the time we reported preliminary first quarter results, we experienced softer traffic trends globally that impacted our performance. During the quarter, we remained focused on the rollout of our Re-imagined and Refresh programs to elevate our in-store experience, enhancing our digital offerings, deepening customer engagement through our FLX programme and leveraging our strong brand partnerships to generate excitement for our customers. As we have executed these and other initiatives to further advance our strategy, our teams have also remained nimble to navigate the uncertain macroeconomic environment, including managing our promotional levels, inventories, and expenses and remaining disciplined with our cash flows," said Mary Dillon, chief executive officer . SG&A as a percentage of sales increased by 100 basis points as compared with the prior-year period, due to underlying deleverage on the sales decline and investments in technology which more than offset the cost optimisation programme and ongoing expense discipline. Compared to the prior year, SG&A dollars were down 0.7 per cent. During the first quarter, the company opened 9 new stores and closed 56 stores, including its stores that operated in South Korea, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Greece, and Romania. Also during the quarter, the company remodeled or relocated 11 stores and refreshed 69 stores to updated design standards, which incorporate key elements of the current brand design specifications.

Foot Locker (NYSE:FL) Reports Sales Below Analyst Estimates In Q1 Earnings
Footwear and apparel retailer Foot Locker (NYSE:FL) fell short of the market's revenue expectations in Q1 CY2025, with sales falling 4.5% year on year to $1.79 billion. Its non-GAAP loss of $0.07 per share was significantly below analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Foot Locker? Find out in our full research report. Revenue: $1.79 billion vs analyst estimates of $1.84 billion (4.5% year-on-year decline, 2.3% miss) Adjusted EPS: -$0.07 vs analyst estimates of -$0.02 (significant miss) Adjusted EBITDA: -$214 million vs analyst estimates of $52.35 million (-11.9% margin, significant miss) Operating Margin: -15.1%, down from 1% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow was -$61 million compared to -$18 million in the same quarter last year Locations: 2,363 at quarter end, down from 2,490 in the same quarter last year Same-Store Sales fell 2.6% year on year, in line with the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $2.28 billion Mary Dillon, Chief Executive Officer said, "We are continuing to execute our Lace Up Plan strategies as we look forward to the successful completion of our transaction with DICK'S Sporting Goods. As we noted at the time we reported preliminary first quarter results, we experienced softer traffic trends globally that impacted our performance. During the quarter, we remained focused on the rollout of our Reimagined and Refresh programs to elevate our in-store experience, enhancing our digital offerings, deepening customer engagement through our FLX program and leveraging our strong brand partnerships to generate excitement for our customers. As we have executed these and other initiatives to further advance our strategy, our teams have also remained nimble to navigate the uncertain macroeconomic environment, including managing our promotional levels, inventories, and expenses and remaining disciplined with our cash flows." Known for store associates whose uniforms resemble those of referees, Foot Locker (NYSE:FL) is a specialty retailer that sells athletic footwear, clothing, and accessories. A company's long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years. With $7.90 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, Foot Locker is a mid-sized retailer, which sometimes brings disadvantages compared to larger competitors benefiting from better economies of scale. As you can see below, Foot Locker struggled to increase demand as its $7.90 billion of sales for the trailing 12 months was close to its revenue six years ago (we compare to 2019 to normalize for COVID-19 impacts). This was mainly because it closed stores and observed lower sales at existing, established locations. This quarter, Foot Locker missed Wall Street's estimates and reported a rather uninspiring 4.5% year-on-year revenue decline, generating $1.79 billion of revenue. Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to remain flat over the next 12 months. This projection doesn't excite us and implies its newer products will not catalyze better top-line performance yet. Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next. A retailer's store count influences how much it can sell and how quickly revenue can grow. Foot Locker operated 2,363 locations in the latest quarter. Over the last two years, the company has generally closed its stores, averaging 6.1% annual declines. When a retailer shutters stores, it usually means that brick-and-mortar demand is less than supply, and it is responding by closing underperforming locations to improve profitability. A company's store base only paints one part of the picture. When demand is high, it makes sense to open more. But when demand is low, it's prudent to close some locations and use the money in other ways. Same-store sales provides a deeper understanding of this issue because it measures organic growth at brick-and-mortar shops for at least a year. Foot Locker's demand has been shrinking over the last two years as its same-store sales have averaged 1.9% annual declines. This performance isn't ideal, and Foot Locker is attempting to boost same-store sales by closing stores (fewer locations sometimes lead to higher same-store sales). In the latest quarter, Foot Locker's same-store sales fell by 2.6% year on year. This performance was more or less in line with its historical levels. It was encouraging to see Foot Locker beat analysts' gross margin expectations this quarter. On the other hand, its revenue, EPS, and EBITDA fell short of Wall Street's estimates. Overall, this was a softer quarter. The stock remained flat at $23.94 immediately after reporting. Is Foot Locker an attractive investment opportunity at the current price? When making that decision, it's important to consider its valuation, business qualities, as well as what has happened in the latest quarter. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it's free.

Non-GAAP financial measures that will be presented will exclude (i) gains or losses related to our minority investments, (ii) impairments and other, and (iii) certain tax matters that we believe are nonrecurring or unusual in nature. Certain financial measures are identified as non-GAAP, such as sales changes excluding foreign currency fluctuations, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share. We present certain amounts as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, which are also considered non-GAAP measures. Where amounts are expressed as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, such changes are determined by translating all amounts in both years using the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. Presenting amounts on a constant currency basis is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the changes in our business that are not related to currency movements. These non-GAAP measures are presented because we believe they assist investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core business or affect comparability. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are useful in assessing our progress in achieving our long-term financial objectives and are consistent with how executive compensation is determined.
