Five-Year Company Overview

Income Statement

Income Statement COOT’s income statement shows a very small business that is still in the early stages of scaling. Revenue has been tiny and has not grown meaningfully over the last few years, which suggests the commercial ramp-up is gradual rather than rapid. Profitability is fragile: results hover around break-even, with the most recent year slipping into a modest loss. Operating profit and cash-style profit (EBITDA) are effectively flat, pointing to limited pricing power and a lack of scale efficiency so far. The swingy earnings-per-share history likely reflects changes in share count and listing-related effects more than major shifts in the underlying business, but it still underlines how sensitive results are to even small changes in performance or financing.

Balance Sheet

Balance Sheet The balance sheet is thin and offers only a modest financial cushion. The company’s asset base has shrunk compared with earlier years and then stabilized at a low level, consistent with a small, focused operator rather than a large industrial player. Equity has fallen from a healthier level to being almost wiped out, which indicates that accumulated losses and/or corporate restructurings have eroded the buffer for shareholders. Debt has appeared and grown from almost nothing, which increases financial risk given the low earnings base. The absence of reported cash suggests tight liquidity and a reliance on short-term funding or working capital management, leaving limited room to absorb shocks or fund large projects purely from internal resources.

Cash Flow

Cash Flow Cash flow so far looks more like that of an early-stage or transition-phase business than a mature cash generator. Operating cash flow has hovered around zero, meaning the business is not consistently producing surplus cash from its day-to-day activities. Free cash flow has recently turned slightly negative, reflecting investment needs that are not fully covered by internal cash generation. Capital spending itself is not large in absolute terms but is meaningful relative to the small size of the company. Together, this suggests COOT is still dependent on external capital or new financing to fund expansion and weather volatility, rather than being self-sustaining from its own cash flows.

Competitive Edge

Competitive Edge COOT occupies a specialized niche in the packaged foods space: chemical-free, non-GMO, cold-pressed edible oils and related protein meals. Its biggest strengths are its focus and scale within this niche. It operates one of the largest cold-press plants in its region and has embedded itself in the growing market for healthier and more sustainable food ingredients. Contracts with large retailers like Woolworths and Costco give it valuable shelf space and recurring demand, which can be difficult for smaller rivals to secure. Its sustainability focus and transparent supply chain help differentiate its products in a crowded oils market often dominated by commodity players. On the flip side, COOT remains small compared to global food giants, likely faces intense price competition in bulk oil markets, and is concentrated in a few geographies and customers. Its challenge is to convert its niche strengths into broader scale without losing its differentiated positioning or overextending its limited financial base.

Innovation and R&D

Innovation and R&D COOT’s innovation is more about process, sustainability, and market positioning than about laboratory-style R&D. The proprietary cold-pressing approach, which avoids high heat and chemicals, is the core of its value proposition: higher perceived quality, better nutrient retention, and a lower environmental footprint. Integrating solar energy into its operations and building what it claims is the largest cold-press facility in its region further reinforce its “clean and green” identity. The planned larger multi-seed plant in Queensland signals a push to scale this model, while the joint venture in India aims to open up a massive new market for its branded oils. Product innovation seems incremental—refinements of oil types and by-products like protein meals—rather than radical, but these are well aligned with rising demand for sustainable and traceable food ingredients. The main execution risks lie in delivering new capacity on time and on budget, penetrating overseas markets, and maintaining quality and sustainability standards as volumes grow.

Summary

COOT is a small, niche food ingredients company built around sustainable, cold-pressed, non-GMO oils and related products. Strategically, it is well aligned with long-term consumer trends toward health and sustainability, and it has carved out real strengths in processing know-how, plant scale within its niche, retailer relationships, and supply-chain transparency. At the same time, the current financial profile is delicate: very low revenue, thin or negative profits, minimal equity, rising debt, and limited visible cash. The business is not yet a steady cash generator and appears reliant on external funding and careful execution to support its growth plans. Future value creation will largely depend on COOT’s ability to scale production, deepen retailer and international partnerships, and maintain its differentiation, all while managing financial risk and meeting public listing requirements. The opportunity is clear, but so are the execution and financing challenges, and outcomes may be quite sensitive to how the next phase of expansion is managed.
