Zooming In On Karooooo's Earnings

放大 Karoooo 的收益

In high finance, the key ratio used to measure how well a company converts reported profits into free cash flow (FCF) is the accrual ratio (from cashflow). The accrual ratio subtracts the FCF from the profit for a given period, and divides the result by the average operating assets of the company over that time. This ratio tells us how much of a company's profit is not backed by free cashflow.

在高級財務中,用於衡量公司將報告的利潤轉換爲自由現金流(FCF)的關鍵比率是應計比率(來自現金流)。應計比率從給定時期的利潤中減去FCF,然後將結果除以該時間內公司的平均運營資產。這個比率告訴我們,一家公司的利潤中有多少沒有自由現金流的支持。

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 it's not a problem to have a positive accrual ratio, indicating a certain level of non-cash profits, a high accrual ratio is arguably a bad thing, because it indicates paper profits are not matched by cash flow. That's because some academic studies have suggested that high accruals ratios tend to lead to lower profit or less profit growth.

這意味着負應計比率是一件好事,因爲它表明該公司帶來的自由現金流比其利潤所暗示的要多。雖然正應計比率表明非現金利潤達到一定水平不是問題,但高應計比率可以說是一件壞事,因爲它表明紙面利潤與現金流不匹配。這是因爲一些學術研究表明,高應計率往往會導致利潤下降或利潤增長減弱。

Karooooo has an accrual ratio of -0.12 for the year to February 2024. That implies it has good cash conversion, and implies that its free cash flow solidly exceeded its profit last year. Indeed, in the last twelve months it reported free cash flow of R998m, well over the R738.2m it reported in profit. Karooooo's free cash flow improved over the last year, which is generally good to see.

截至2024年2月的一年中,Karoooo的應計比率爲-0.12。這意味着它具有良好的現金轉化率,也意味着其去年的自由現金流穩步超過了利潤。事實上,在過去的十二個月中,它報告的自由現金流爲9.98億蘭特,遠遠超過其報告的利潤7.382億蘭特。Karoooo的自由現金流與去年相比有所改善,總體而言,這是件好事。

Our Take On Karooooo's Profit Performance

我們對Karooooo盈利表現的看法

As we discussed above, Karooooo has perfectly satisfactory free cash flow relative to profit. Because of this, we think Karooooo's earnings potential is at least as good as it seems, and maybe even better! And on top of that, its earnings per share have grown at 52% per year over the last three years. Of course, we've only just scratched the surface when it comes to analysing its earnings; one could also consider margins, forecast growth, and return on investment, among other factors. So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing Karooooo at this point in time. Every company has risks, and we've spotted 1 warning sign for Karooooo you should know about.

正如我們上面討論的那樣,Karoooo的自由現金流相對於利潤來說非常令人滿意。正因爲如此,我們認爲Karoooo的盈利潛力至少和看起來一樣好,甚至可能更好!最重要的是,在過去三年中,其每股收益以每年52%的速度增長。當然,我們只是在分析其收益時才浮出水面;人們還可以考慮利潤率、預測增長和投資回報率等因素。因此,儘管收益質量很重要,但考慮Karoooo目前面臨的風險同樣重要。每家公司都有風險,我們發現了一個你應該知道的Karoooo警告信號。

Today we've zoomed in on a single data point to better understand the nature of Karooooo's profit. But there are plenty of other ways to inform your opinion of a company. For example, many people consider a high return on equity as an indication of favorable business economics, while others like to 'follow the money' and search out stocks that insiders are buying. So you may wish to see this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks with high insider ownership.

今天,我們放大了單個數據點,以更好地了解Karoooo利潤的性質。但是,還有很多其他方法可以讓你對公司的看法。例如,許多人認爲高股本回報率是有利的商業經濟的標誌,而另一些人則喜歡 “關注資金”,尋找內部人士正在買入的股票。因此,你可能希望看到這份擁有高股本回報率的公司的免費集合,或者這份內部所有權高的股票清單。
