In this assessment we will discuss about accounting & reporting and below are the summaries point:-
The performance is analyzed across five different categories: Profitability, Efficiency, Liquidity, Solvency, and Share Market performance over a 3-year period.
Despite being profitable, Blackmores' profitability has been on a downward trend over the last three years, with significant impacts due to COVID-19, regulatory changes relating to e-commerce in China, and relabeling requirements across all markets.
Blackmores' management has continued with a long-term focus on investing in the business by maintaining efficient use of assets, including the acquisition of a new facility in Braeside, which will provide operational benefits over the long-term.
Blackmores also took direct steps to strengthen its liquidity and solvency through a very successful share capital raising and institutional placement undertaken in 2020.
Despite the best efforts of Blackmores' management, its share price has been volatile and has seen a drop over the last 3 years.
A recommendation was made to shareholders to consider holding shares in the short-term as the uncertainty of COVID-19 unfolds, though there is potential for investors who are looking for long-term growth to buy at the current price.
Blackmores Limited sources, manufactures, and markets a range of vitamins, herbal and mineral supplements, and nutritional foods using premium ingredients from around the world for humans and animals, with products made to strict manufacturing and quality standards.
