Good analysis!! No debt on books!!We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse Greenlane Renewables Inc.'s (TSE:GRN) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. Greenlane Renewables Inc. designs, develops, sells, and services a range of biogas upgrading systems worldwide. With the latest financial year loss of CA$2.5m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of CA$1.6m, the CA$242m market-cap company alleviated its loss by moving closer towards its target of breakeven. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which Greenlane Renewables will turn a profit, with the big question being when will the company breakeven? We've put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for the company, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate. See our latest analysis for Greenlane Renewables According to the 7 industry analysts covering Greenlane Renewables, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2020, before generating positive profits of CA$1.8m in 2021. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately 12 months from now or less. How fast will the company have to grow to reach the consensus forecasts that anticipate breakeven by 2021? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 81% year-on-year, on average, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict. earnings-per-share-growth TSX:GRN Earnings Per Share Growth June 7th 2021 Given this is a high-level overview, we wont go into details of Greenlane Renewables' upcoming projects, however, take into account that by and large energy companies, depending on the stage of operation and resource produced, have irregular periods of cash flow. So, a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment. One thing wed like to point out is that Greenlane Renewables has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning oil and gas company, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. This means that the company has been operating purely on its equity investment and has no debt burden. This aspect reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
