We Think Shareholders Should Be Aware Of Some Factors Beyond QPL International Holdings' (HKG:243) Profit
We Think Shareholders Should Be Aware Of Some Factors Beyond QPL International Holdings' (HKG:243) Profit
We didn't see QPL International Holdings Limited's (HKG:243) stock surge when it reported robust earnings recently. We looked deeper into the numbers and found that shareholders might be concerned with some underlying weaknesses.

SEHK:243 Earnings and Revenue History September 5th 2022Examining Cashflow Against QPL International Holdings' Earnings
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). 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'.
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. To quote a 2014 paper by Lewellen and Resutek, "firms with higher accruals tend to be less profitable in the future".
For the year to April 2022, QPL International Holdings had an accrual ratio of 0.30. We can therefore deduce that its free cash flow fell well short of covering its statutory profit, suggesting we might want to think twice before putting a lot of weight on the latter. In the last twelve months it actually had negative free cash flow, with an outflow of HK$68m despite its profit of HK$10.1m, mentioned above. We also note that QPL International Holdings' free cash flow was actually negative last year as well, so we could understand if shareholders were bothered by its outflow of HK$68m. However, that's not all there is to consider. The accrual ratio is reflecting the impact of unusual items on statutory profit, at least in part.

The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit
The fact that the company had unusual items boosting profit by HK$18m, in the last year, probably goes some way to explain why its accrual ratio was so weak. While it's always nice to have higher profit, a large contribution from unusual items sometimes dampens our enthusiasm. When we crunched the numbers on thousands of publicly listed companies, we found that a boost from unusual items in a given year is often not repeated the next year. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. QPL International Holdings had a rather significant contribution from unusual items relative to its profit to April 2022. All else being equal, this would likely have the effect of making the statutory profit a poor guide to underlying earnings power.
Our Take On QPL International Holdings' Profit Performance
QPL International Holdings had a weak accrual ratio, but its profit did receive a boost from unusual items. Considering all this we'd argue QPL International Holdings' profits probably give an overly generous impression of its sustainable level of profitability. If you want to do dive deeper into QPL International Holdings, you'd also look into what risks it is currently facing. To that end, you should learn about the 3 warning signs we've spotted with QPL International Holdings (including 1 which is a bit concerning).
Our examination of QPL International Holdings has focussed on certain factors that can make its earnings look better than they are. And, on that basis, we are somewhat skeptical.

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.

我们没有看到QPL国际控股有限公司的(HKG:243)最近公布强劲收益后,股价飙升。我们更深入地研究了这些数字,发现股东可能担心一些潜在的弱点。

联交所:243收入及收入历史2022年9月5日QPL International Holdings的现金流与收益的对比研究
在高端金融领域,衡量一家公司将报告利润转换为自由现金流(FCF)的程度的关键比率是应计比率(来自现金流)。简单地说,这个比率是从净利润中减去FCF,然后用这个数字除以该公司在此期间的平均运营资产。你可以把来自现金流的应计比率看作是‘非FCF利润率’。
这意味着负的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比其利润所暗示的要多。虽然应计比率高于零并不令人担忧,但我们确实认为,当一家公司的应计比率相对较高时,这一点值得注意。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4月的一年中,QPL International Holdings的应计比率为0.30。因此,我们可以推断,它的自由现金流远远低于其法定利润,这表明我们在加大对后者的重视之前,可能需要三思而后行。在过去的12个月里,它实际上有负面自由现金流,尽管其盈利为1010万港元,但仍有6800万港元的流出。我们还注意到,QPL International Holdings去年的自由现金流实际上也是负的,因此我们可以理解股东是否对其6800万港元的资金外流感到困扰。然而,这并不是需要考虑的全部问题。应计比率反映了不寻常项目对法定利润的影响,至少在一定程度上是这样。
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QPL国际控股公司的资产负债表分析。
异常项目对利润的影响
该公司去年有一些不同寻常的项目将利润提高了1800万港元,这一事实很可能在一定程度上解释了其应计比率如此之低的原因。虽然有更高的利润总是好事,但不寻常的东西带来的巨大贡献有时会挫伤我们的热情。当我们分析了数千家上市公司的数据时,我们发现,在给定的一年中,不寻常的项目往往会带来提振不第二年又重复了一遍。毕竟,这正是会计术语所暗示的。QPL国际控股有限公司在截至2022年4月的利润中,来自不寻常项目的贡献相当大。在其他条件不变的情况下,这可能会使法定利润成为衡量潜在盈利能力的糟糕指标。
我们对QPL国际控股公司盈利表现的看法
QPL International 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。考虑到这一切,我们认为QPL国际控股公司的利润可能给人一种过于慷慨的印象,表明其可持续的盈利水平。如果你真的想更深入地研究QPL International Holdings,你还应该调查它目前面临的风险。为此,您应该了解3个警示标志我们已经发现了QPL国际控股公司(包括1家有点令人担忧的公司)。
我们对QPL国际控股公司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。一些人认为,高股本回报率是高质量企业的良好标志。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。
