D.Risk – FRR
Get clarity – with the BAMAC Group’s Financial Risk Report (FRR).
Can your suppliers meet the current financial challenges as a company? Is your supplier financially stable enough for the planned collaboration?
An effective supplier evaluation helps companies to identify risks and take appropriate measures to minimize them. A key aspect of this assessment is the financial health of suppliers. Questions that are of central importance in the evaluation of suppliers are:
– How likely is it that your suppliers will get into financial difficulties?
– Do your suppliers have the necessary substance to overcome unexpected challenges?
– To what extent are current events such as the coronavirus pandemic, supply bottlenecks, and high energy prices affecting the reliability of your supplier?
The BAMAC Group’s Financial Risk Report offers you a reliable evaluation basis based on objective analyses, which you can use to evaluate your suppliers, assess risks and establish and expand promising relationships.

Summary
Medium default risk & medium company substance: A company substance with a rating of 43 indicates an acceptable level of efficiency of the rated company. In the long term, however, this rating also requires improvement if Muster AG is to remain viable. There is adequate performance within the resilience indicators. These resilience indicators are particularly relevant when considering the risk of default. Companies with this combination of corporate substance and resilience have an acceptable risk of default within the next year, combined with comparatively modest medium-term prospects.
Sufficient resilience: Muster AG has sufficient performance capabilities in terms of leverage, liquidity and earnings development. This is an acceptable result for a supplier evaluation.
Relative underperformance in the generation of returns: At 5.15%, the return on capital employed (ROCE) for the most recent period represents a relative underperformance and is a significant decline compared to the previous full year, which was the low point of the period under review at 8.26%. This figure is well below the high of 15.95% reached in the second quarter of 2013. In the last three years, the range was between 5.15% and 13.96%.
Average company substance: In the past 12 months, starting from June 30, 2022, Muster AG has suffered a moderate decline in company substance (US). The decline of 9 points in the US is largely due to a deterioration in operating profitability, net profitability and the profitability and efficiency of the capital structure. The efficiency of the cost structure is at a high level compared to the global data set. This area makes an important positive contribution to the overall strength of the company. Muster AG shows weaknesses in capital structure efficiency and operating profitability in a global industry comparison.
Inconsistent cash flow: While Muster AG generated a positive cash flow from its operating business in the last financial year, its overall performance was inconsistent. Payment coverage for investments was very high, whereas debt coverage was modest.
The bottom line: Muster AG is in the upper half of our medium risk group of evaluated suppliers with a mixture of strong and weak performance categories. The company has a relatively underperforming ROCE and was downgraded in the last period. If current trends continue, it is to be expected that Muster AG will be confronted with a medium to moderate default risk in the coming year. The prospects for efficiency and competitiveness are promising in the medium term, which is why the outlook for the company is rated as positive.
Figure 2: Company substance & quadrant analysis of the probability of default
The Financial Risk Report, our supplier evaluation tool, provides you with a detailed risk assessment.
Quadrant A: Companies in this quadrant are likely to have a sustainable level of operational efficiency in the medium term, combined with an acceptable to very low risk of default within the next 12 months.
The corporate substance (US) is a measure of medium-term sustainability based on operational efficiency and competitiveness.
The Financial Risk Rating (FRR) is a measure of the short-term default risk. This measure is derived from the US and the resilience analysis and provides information on the company’s ability to meet internal and external obligations in the short term.
