With the business potentially at an important milestone, we thought we'd take a closer look at Qoria Limited's (ASX:QOR) future prospects. Qoria Limited markets, distributes, and sells cyber safety products and services. With the latest financial year loss of AU$87m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of AU$81m, the AU$439m market-cap company alleviated its loss by moving closer towards its target of breakeven. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which Qoria will turn a profit, with the big question being “when will the company breakeven?” We've put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for the company, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.

Consensus from 6 of the Australian Software analysts is that Qoria is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2026, before generating positive profits of AU$12m in 2027. The company is therefore projected to breakeven around 3 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 69%, which is rather optimistic! If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

Given this is a high-level overview, we won’t go into details of Qoria's upcoming projects, but, take into account that typically a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.

Before we wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. The company has managed its capital judiciously, with debt making up 19% of equity. This means that it has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital, and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
