Many may associate Maxar Technologies with various images about the Ukraine war. Maxar provides satellite imagery, allowing the military, political, but also intelligence agencies to more accurately assess the military and humanitarian situation. So next time you watch NTV or other news services, pay attention to where these images come from (usually marked in the report). So the pun at the beginning is indeed true....Maxar Technolgies and its customers see things that we don't see at first. So give a friendly wave up. Maxar immediately recognizes the speeding Lambo that will splash water in your face with squealing tires ;)
Basically, Maxar Technologies is in the business of "Space Technology Solutions". In this field they deliver, create and design whole satellites as well as spacecraft components for communication. Maxar also provides satellite imagery and analytical data to forecast changes around the globe, be it military, weather related, and various other surveys (you name it). [1] In the images you can see a number of satellites that Maxar currently offers.

Criteria to be read in detail:
https://app.getquin.com/activity/XcuRrJwmyP
Income Statement:
-Net Margin: 2021: 2.6% 2022: 1.96%; 2023: 6.93%; 2024: 11.0% [2] -->negative! (Buffet's target: >20%) -But not unusual for asset-intensive companies.
-Gross margin: 2021: 44.4% [3] --> positive! (Buffet's target: min. 40%)
-Sales/administrative. and other overhead: 20.8% of sales -->positive! (Buffet's target: max. 30-40%)
-Interest expense: 85.8% of operating profit -->negative! (Buffet's target: <15%) -->but declining sharply since 2019 (positive signal).
Also: in interest expense above $151m, $141m is "long term debt". I see this more positively than short-term debt, since long-term debt does not lead to short-term upheavals due to variable rising interest rates or similar.
Balance Sheet:
-Treasury Shares: Yes! [6] -->positive!
-Debt < 4xEBIT: 2,22 Mrd. USD; EBIT = 0,17 Mrd. USD -->negative!
-Current liabilities to current assets: 1.19 (current liabilities exceed current assets by 19%) -->negative! Development but positive.
-EK ratio: 32.5% (2021), 20.8% (2020)
-Goodwill: 36.17% of total assets and 111% of equity -->negative!
-->Maxar has very high goodwill. As soon as investments get into difficulties, unscheduled write-downs could be made. - negative due to risk potential!
Goodwill contribution to further understanding: https://app.getquin.com/activity/ymidZwhlTk
Key Note: 67.94% of debt is long term debt and therefore designed for the long term. This gives planning security, even if the debt is quite high.
Cash flow statement:
Investments: exceed 5x net profit (Buffet's target: <50%) -->negative!
Free cash flows:
2021: USD 60m
2020: 506 million USD (where 723 million USD from one-time effect - one-time. Sale - discontinued operations)
2019: USD 304 million (of which USD 280 million from one-time effect - sale of assets)

Even if Maxar is a very capital-intensive company and one could therefore use key figures such as turnover frequency to assess productivity, it seems to me that it would be more appropriate here to take a closer look at the debt situation:
Total Liabilities 2021: 3.035 Mio USD (67% of total assets)
Total liabilities 2020: 3,547 million USD (79% of total assets)
Total Liabilities 2019: 4.395 Mio USD (85% of total assets)
-->Development positive!
Long Term Debt 2021: 2.062 Mio USD (67% of total liabilities)
Long Term Debt 2020: 2.414 Mio USD (68% of total liabilities)
Long-term debt 2019: USD 2,915 million (66% of total liabilities)
-->high share of long term debt positive (gives better planning security)
Ratio of current liabilities to current assets 2021: 1.19 (ideally < 1)
Ratio of current liabilities to current assets 2020: 1.41 (ideally < 1)
Ratio of current liabilities to current assets 2019: 0.78, with a large portion resulting from one-off asset sales - adjusted: 1.95 (ideally < 1)
-->Development positive! The lower the ratio, the better you can pay short-term debts with your short-term assets!
Total Assets 2021: 4.498 Mio USD
Total Assets 2020: 4.483 Mio USD
Total Assets 2019: 5.157 Mio USD

I find the topic of aerospace very exciting. Likewise, Maxar is an extremely exciting company with exciting future prospects, for which the company is investing heavily. However, the high investments, which are financed with a lot of debt, also bring me to the negative aspect of a possible investment. For my taste, there is still too much debt capital in the company. On the positive side, however, the interest burden is falling due to the steady repayment of current loans and the focus on long-term loans (see key notes). It seems to me that the company wants to steadily reduce the burden, which is a positive signal. The financial situation is therefore not optimal for me, but not too worrying either. Nevertheless, the goodwill is also too high for me, which adds to the risk. Due to all these aspects, Maxar belongs to a risk investment for me, which can definitely pay off. However, you definitely have to be willing to take certain risks. Therefore, I personally would not weight Maxar too high in the portfolio.
