Road King's FY 2023 results were poor, with the company's gross margin plunging to negative 5% (FY 2022: 17%). The EBITDA and net profit margins were negative 13% and negative 30%, respectively. While Road King has continued to reduce net debt, liquidity is poor. In addition, we view negatively the company's downbeat statement of “significant debt repayment pressure due to a lack of refinancing channels”.   We believe it is difficult to ascertain management’s willingness to honour repayments, amid the bleak business prospects. Road King has a small and dwindling land bank that might suffice for only another 1-2 years of development. Moreover, the negative gross margin suggests that the business is no longer profitable. In our view, this increases the risk that the company may opt for a holistic restructuring of the USD notes (which account for 65% of total debt) to reduce its debt load. We move to "Not Recommended" from "Hold" on the ROADKG 6.7 '24s.
