We Don't Think Starlite Holdings' (HKG:403) Earnings Should Make Shareholders Too Comfortable
We Don't Think Starlite Holdings' (HKG:403) Earnings Should Make Shareholders Too Comfortable
Shareholders didn't seem to be thrilled with Starlite Holdings Limited's (HKG:403) recent earnings report, despite healthy profit numbers. Our analysis suggests they may be concerned about some underlying details.
Check out our latest analysis for Starlite Holdings
SEHK:403 Earnings and Revenue History July 21st 2022A Closer Look At Starlite Holdings' Earnings
One key financial ratio used to measure how well a company converts its profit to free cash flow (FCF) is the accrual ratio. To get the accrual ratio we first subtract FCF from profit for a period, and then divide that number by the average operating assets for the period. This ratio tells us how much of a company's profit is not backed by free cashflow.
As a result, a negative accrual ratio is a positive for the company, and a positive accrual ratio is a negative. 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. To quote a 2014 paper by Lewellen and Resutek, "firms with higher accruals tend to be less profitable in the future".
Starlite Holdings has an accrual ratio of 1.17 for the year to March 2022. Statistically speaking, that's a real negative for future earnings. And indeed, during the period the company didn't produce any free cash flow whatsoever. Even though it reported a profit of HK$357.5m, a look at free cash flow indicates it actually burnt through HK$219m in the last year. Coming off the back of negative free cash flow last year, we imagine some shareholders might wonder if its cash burn of HK$219m, this year, indicates high risk. However, that's not all there is to consider. We can see that unusual items have impacted its statutory profit, and therefore the accrual ratio.

The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit
Given the accrual ratio, it's not overly surprising that Starlite Holdings' profit was boosted by unusual items worth HK$468m in the last twelve months. We can't deny that higher profits generally leave us optimistic, but we'd prefer it if the profit were to be sustainable. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. Which is hardly surprising, given the name. Starlite Holdings had a rather significant contribution from unusual items relative to its profit to March 2022. As a result, we can surmise that the unusual items are making its statutory profit significantly stronger than it would otherwise be.
Our Take On Starlite Holdings' Profit Performance
Starlite Holdings had a weak accrual ratio, but its profit did receive a boost from unusual items. On reflection, the above-mentioned factors give us the strong impression that Starlite Holdings'underlying earnings power is not as good as it might seem, based on the statutory profit numbers. So if you'd like to dive deeper into this stock, it's crucial to consider any risks it's facing. Be aware that Starlite Holdings is showing 2 warning signs in our investment analysis and 1 of those is potentially serious...
Our examination of Starlite Holdings has focussed on certain factors that can make its earnings look better than they are. And, on that basis, we are somewhat skeptical. But there is always more to discover if you are capable of focussing your mind on minutiae. 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. While it might take a little research on your behalf, you may find this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks that insiders are buying to be useful.

股东们似乎对此并不满意星光集团有限公司的(HKG:403)最近的收益报告,尽管利润数字健康。我们的分析表明,他们可能对一些潜在的细节感到担忧。

联交所:403盈利及收入历史2022年7月21日近距离观察Starlite Holdings的收益
衡量一家公司将利润转换为自由现金流(FCF)的程度的一个关键财务比率是应计比率。为了得到应计比率,我们首先从一个时期的利润中减去FCF,然后用这个数字除以该时期的平均运营资产。这个比率告诉我们,一家公司的利润中有多少不是由自由现金流支持的。
因此,负的应计比率对公司是积极的,而正的应计比率是负的。虽然应计比率为正并不是问题,这表明非现金利润达到了一定的水平,但高的应计比率可以说是一件坏事,因为它表明账面利润与现金流不匹配。引用勒维伦和雷苏泰克2014年的一篇论文,“应计利润较高的公司未来的利润往往较低”。
在截至2022年3月的一年中,Starlite Holdings的应计比率为1.17。从统计上讲,这对未来的收益是一个真正的负面影响。事实上,在此期间,该公司没有产生任何自由现金流。尽管该公司报告盈利3.575亿港元,但看看自由现金流就会发现,该公司去年实际上烧掉了2.19亿港元。在去年自由现金流为负的背景下,我们可以想象,一些股东可能会怀疑,该公司今年2.19亿港元的现金消耗是否意味着高风险。然而,这并不是需要考虑的全部问题。我们可以看到,不寻常的项目影响了其法定利润,从而影响了应计比率。
注:我们总是建议投资者检查资产负债表的实力。点击此处查看我们对Starlite Holdings的资产负债表分析。
异常项目对利润的影响
考虑到应计比率,Starlite Holdings的利润在过去12个月里受到价值4.68亿港元的不寻常项目的提振也就不足为奇了。我们不能否认,更高的利润通常会让我们保持乐观,但如果利润是可持续的,我们更愿意这样做。我们对全球大多数上市公司进行了统计,不寻常的项目在性质上是一次性的,这是非常常见的。考虑到这个名字,这并不令人惊讶。与截至2022年3月的利润相比,Starlite Holdings的异常项目做出了相当大的贡献。因此,我们可以推测,这些不寻常的项目使其法定利润比其他情况下要强劲得多。
我们对Starlite Holdings的利润表现的看法
Starlite Holdings的应计比率较低,但其利润确实得到了不寻常项目的提振。仔细想想,上述因素给我们的强烈印象是,根据法定利润数字,Starlite Holdings的潜在盈利能力并不像看起来那么好。因此,如果你想更深入地研究这只股票,考虑它面临的任何风险是至关重要的。请注意,Starlite Holdings正在展示我们的投资分析中的2个警告信号其中一个可能是严重的.
我们对Starlite Holdings的审查集中在某些因素上,这些因素可以使其收益看起来比实际情况更好。在此基础上,我们对此持怀疑态度。但如果你有能力将注意力集中在细枝末节上,总会有更多的东西需要发现。例如,许多人认为高股本回报率是有利的商业经济指标,而另一些人则喜欢“跟着钱走”,寻找内部人士正在买入的股票。虽然这可能需要为您做一些研究,但您可能会发现免费拥有高股本回报率的公司的集合,或者是内部人士购买的有用的股票清单。
