Revasum, Inc.'s (ASX:RVS) Shift From Loss To Profit
Revasum, Inc.'s (ASX:RVS): Revasum, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, and markets a portfolio of semiconductor processing equipment worldwide. The company’s loss has recently broadened since it announced a -US$4.4m loss in the full financial year, compared to the latest trailing-twelve-month loss of -US$5.9m, moving it further away from breakeven. Many investors are wondering the rate at which RVS will turn a profit, with the big question being “when will the company breakeven?” I’ve put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for RVS, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.

RVS is bordering on breakeven, according to the 3 Semiconductor analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2019, before generating positive profits of US$1.7m in 2020. Therefore, RVS is expected to breakeven roughly a couple of months from now! What rate will RVS have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, I calculated an average annual growth rate of 68%, which signals high confidence from analysts. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, RVS may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
I’m not going to go through company-specific developments for RVS given that this is a high-level summary, but, take into account that typically a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.
Before I wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. RVS currently has no debt on its balance sheet, which is rare for a loss-making loss-making, growth company, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. RVS currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.
