According to the 17 industry analysts covering GTII, the consensus is breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2020, before turning a profit of US$47m in 2021. Therefore, GTII is expected to breakeven roughly a few months from now. In order to meet this breakeven date, I calculated the rate at which GTII must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 69% is expected, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, GTII may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Underlying developments driving GTII’s growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, however, keep in mind that by and large a pharma company has lumpy cash flows which are contingent on the drug and stage of product development the business is in. This means that a high growth rate is not unusual, especially if the company is currently in an investment period.
Before I wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. GTII has managed its capital judiciously, with debt making up 11% of equity. This means that GTII has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital,and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
