Peers = companies sharing PLPL's sector (Pharmaceutical Preparations) with collected SEC financials. Multiples use the most recent end-of-day close and latest fiscal-year fundamentals (trailing, not forward). Missing cells mean the peer never reported that line item, has no collected price, or has a non-positive denominator. Not investment advice.
What the company returns to shareholders — and whether it's covered by cash.
No dividend to cover. Last year: $0 dividends + $0 buybacks = $0 returned on -$3.6M FCF.
Yields use the latest fiscal-year dividends/buybacks over current market cap. Dividends and buybacks from the SEC cash-flow statement; payout coverage vs net income and free cash flow. Educational — not a recommendation.
How management deployed cash over 5 years — and what it earned on reinvestment.
A reinvestment story — most cash went back into growth rather than to shareholders.
Operating income fell despite reinvestment — a warning on capital productivity. Current ROIC on all capital: 155%. Rough measure (includes maintenance capex).
Cash uses aggregated from the SEC cash-flow statement over 5 fiscal years. "Return on reinvestment" is a rough proxy — operating-income change ÷ cumulative CapEx + M&A — and includes maintenance capex. Educational — not a recommendation.
How much the company owes, how it's trended, and how comfortably it's serviced.
Cash of $34K is below the $22.6M due within a year — relies on refinancing or operating cash flow. Scheduled principal only (excludes interest & revolver draws). As of 2016-03-31 (10-Q). The cash figure is from 2015-06-30, so the two are not the same balance-sheet date — the schedule has not been refiled since.
Insufficient EBITDA/debt history.
Green ≤ 1.5× · amber ≤ 3× · red > 3× (leverage relative to cash earnings).
Thin coverage — earnings barely cover interest.
Cash vs short-term debt unavailable.
Short-term / long-term split not separately reported.
Debt, cash, interest and equity from the SEC balance sheet & income statement. Effective rate = interest ÷ average debt. Maturity ladder from the SEC long-term-debt repayment schedule. Educational — not a recommendation.
A reverse discounted cash flow is not shown for a company with no positive EBITDA.
No positive EBITDA in the recent record, so there is no return on capital to compare against its cost. Equity is negative, so debt/equity and ROE invert their signs and read as the opposite of what they mean.
Classified from the filings: EBITDA negative in each of the last 2 years.

How a revenue dollar becomes profit — FY2015
Dividends and buybacks are cash paid out, shown here against the same year's profit for scale — not funded from it.

Total return (dividends reinvested) vs the market, from quarter-end prices.
Above 0 = ahead of the S&P 500 since the window start; below 0 = behind. Rising means it's pulling ahead.
How far the stock fell below its prior peak. Deeper, longer drawdowns = a rougher ride to the same return.
Quarter-end, dividend-adjusted (total return). Beta & volatility from quarterly returns (annualized). Benchmark is the S&P 500 (SPY total return). Annual returns compound the quarters ending in each calendar year; the first and last years in a window may be partial. Past performance doesn't predict future results.

DuPont — the three levers
ROE 155% against ROIC 155% — 0% of the return on equity comes from leverage and buybacks rather than from the operating business.

The metrics that matter, over time
A 30-second read on PLPL: price, valuation and headline fundamentals from SEC filings. The four questions at the top of the page are where the judgements live.
No positive operating income in the last three years, so there is no return on capital to compare against its cost.
| Fiscal year | Gross margin | Operating margin | Net margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2012 | 100.0% | -5117.1% | -5155.5% |
| FY2013 | -168.2% | -740.0% | -826.5% |
| FY2014 | -160.0% | -2992.9% | -6038.5% |
| FY2015 | not reported | -9526.1% | -10842.4% |
No material counter-signal in the checked set: ROIC vs WACC spread, 5-year spread history, gross margin trend, operating margin trend, net margin against 3 years ago, revenue growth, ROIC ex-goodwill gap.
Missing from our data, so excluded from this answer: tax_rate.
Fewer than three profitable years with a cash flow statement, so cash conversion cannot be judged.
No material counter-signal in the checked set: FCF / net income over 3 and 5 years, Sloan accruals, SBC as a share of revenue, SBC as a share of operating cash flow, SBC-adjusted free cash flow, free cash flow per diluted share, buybacks against SBC issued, capex vs depreciation, free cash flow against revenue, share count since the first year on file, cash conversion cycle (DSO, DIO, DPO), receivables growth against revenue growth.
Missing from our data, so excluded from this answer: 3 years of cash flow.
No debt, so there is no leverage path to distress.
This schedule comes from a filing dated 2016-03-31, 3865 days old. Maturities are shown relative to that date, not to today.
Ladder as of 2016-03-31 (10-Q); cash from the 2015-06-30 balance sheet; FCF from FY2015. Free cash flow is negative, so projected resources fall rather than accumulate.
Balance sheet at 2015-06-30. Undrawn revolving credit is not shown: the tag is collected but not yet mapped through to the API.
Cash burn, not leverage, is the risk for a debt-free company — see question 2 for cash conversion.
No positive free cash flow to discount, so the price cannot be expressed as a growth requirement.
No material counter-signal in the checked set: reverse-DCF implied growth, historical FCF CAGR, per-year FCF growth distribution, reporting-basis breaks, discount rate used, free-cash-flow basis (stock comp charged?).
Missing from our data, so excluded from this answer: free_cash_flow.
