We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse BluGlass Limited's (ASX:BLG) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. BluGlass Limited, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the research and development of Gallium nitrides in Australia. On 30 June 2020, the AU$71m market-cap company posted a loss of AU$6.0m for its most recent financial year. The most pressing concern for investors is BluGlass' path to profitability – when will it breakeven? In this article, we will touch on the expectations for the company's growth and when analysts expect it to become profitable.

Expectations from some of the Australian Semiconductor analysts is that BluGlass is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2021, before generating positive profits of AU$429k in 2022. So, the company is predicted to breakeven approximately 2 years from today. What rate will the company have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, we calculated an average annual growth rate of 90%, which signals high confidence from analysts. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected

We're not going to go through company-specific developments for BluGlass given that this is a high-level summary, but, keep in mind that by and large a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.

One thing we’d like to point out is that BluGlass has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning loss-making, growth company, which usually has a high level of debt relative to its equity. The company currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.
