According to the financials, Talbros Engineering has seen a negative performance in the quarter, with a score of -13 compared to -12 in the previous quarter.

The Debtors Turnover Ratio, which measures how quickly a company collects payments from its customers, has been consistently improving over the last five half-yearly periods, with the latest ratio at 8.26 times.

On the other hand, there are some areas of concern for Talbros Engineering. The Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter has decreased by 40.60% compared to the same period last year, and the trend for near-term PAT is negative. The company's interest cost has also increased by 36.32% quarter on quarter, indicating higher borrowings. Additionally, the company's ability to manage interest payments has deteriorated, with the Operating Profit to Interest ratio at its lowest in the last five quarters.

Furthermore, the company's earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter are at its lowest in the last five quarters, reflecting a decline in profitability and lower earnings for shareholders. Overall, Talbros Engineering's financial performance for the quarter ending December 2023 has been mixed, with some positive and negative aspects.
