The company's revenue streams include A$1.30 billion from retail and A$459.71 million from wholesale operations. Despite a low return on equity at 12.1%, its debt is well covered by operating cash flow (177%).

Market Cap:A$246.16M

The company has experienced impressive earnings growth of 117.7% over the past year, surpassing its five-year average of 15.3% annually. Despite this growth, Rivco faces challenges such as negative operating cash flow and short-term assets not covering long-term liabilities (A$18 million).

Recent board changes include appointing Chris Larsen as an Independent Non-Executive Director.
