A Closer Look At Chengdu KSW TechnologiesLtd's Earnings

仔细看看成都KSW TechnologiesLtd的收益

As finance nerds would already know, the accrual ratio from cashflow is a key measure for assessing how well a company's free cash flow (FCF) matches its profit. In plain english, this ratio subtracts FCF from net profit, and divides that number by the company's average operating assets over that period. You could think of the accrual ratio from cashflow as the 'non-FCF profit ratio'.

正如金融迷已经知道的那样,现金流的应计比率是评估公司自由现金流(FCF)与利润匹配程度的关键指标。简而言之,该比率从净利润中减去FCF,然后将该数字除以该时期公司的平均运营资产。你可以将现金流的应计比率视为 “非FCF利润率”。

That means a negative accrual ratio is a good thing, because it shows that the company is bringing in more free cash flow than its profit would suggest. While having an accrual ratio above zero is of little concern, we do think it's worth noting when a company has a relatively high accrual ratio. Notably, there is some academic evidence that suggests that a high accrual ratio is a bad sign for near-term profits, generally speaking.

这意味着负应计比率是一件好事,因为它表明该公司带来的自由现金流超出了其利润所暗示的范围。尽管应计比率高于零并不令人担忧,但我们确实认为,当公司的应计比率相对较高时,值得注意。值得注意的是,有一些学术证据表明,总的来说,高应计比率对短期利润来说是个坏兆头。

Chengdu KSW TechnologiesLtd has an accrual ratio of 0.37 for the year to March 2024. As a general rule, that bodes poorly for future profitability. To wit, the company did not generate one whit of free cashflow in that time. In the last twelve months it actually had negative free cash flow, with an outflow of CN¥32m despite its profit of CN¥87.4m, mentioned above. We also note that Chengdu KSW TechnologiesLtd's free cash flow was actually negative last year as well, so we could understand if shareholders were bothered by its outflow of CN¥32m.

截至2024年3月的一年中,成都KSW TechnologiesLtd的应计比率为0.37。通常,这对未来的盈利能力来说是个坏兆头。换句话说,该公司在那段时间内没有产生一点自由现金流。在过去的十二个月里,它实际上有 负面的 自由现金流,尽管利润为8,740万元人民币,但流出量仍为3200万元人民币,如上所述。我们还注意到,成都KSW TechnologiesLtd去年的自由现金流实际上也是负数,因此我们可以理解股东是否因其3200万元人民币的流出而感到困扰。

Our Take On Chengdu KSW TechnologiesLtd's Profit Performance

我们对成都KSW TechnologiesLtd的盈利表现的看法

As we discussed above, we think Chengdu KSW TechnologiesLtd's earnings were not supported by free cash flow, which might concern some investors. For this reason, we think that Chengdu KSW TechnologiesLtd's statutory profits may be a bad guide to its underlying earnings power, and might give investors an overly positive impression of the company. Nonetheless, it's still worth noting that its earnings per share have grown at 68% over the last three years. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly. So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing Chengdu KSW TechnologiesLtd at this point in time.
