Asia Commercial Holdings (HKG:104) Is Posting Promising Earnings But The Good News Doesn't Stop There
Asia Commercial Holdings (HKG:104) Is Posting Promising Earnings But The Good News Doesn't Stop There
The market seemed underwhelmed by last week's earnings announcement from Asia Commercial Holdings Limited (HKG:104) despite the healthy numbers. We did some digging, and we think that investors are missing some encouraging factors in the underlying numbers.

SEHK:104 Earnings and Revenue History August 4th 2022Zooming In On Asia Commercial Holdings' Earnings
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. This ratio tells us how much of a company's profit is not backed by free cashflow.
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.
For the year to March 2022, Asia Commercial Holdings had an accrual ratio of -0.20. That indicates that its free cash flow quite significantly exceeded its statutory profit. In fact, it had free cash flow of HK$165m in the last year, which was a lot more than its statutory profit of HK$83.8m. Asia Commercial Holdings shareholders are no doubt pleased that free cash flow improved over the last twelve months. Having said that, there is more to the story. The accrual ratio is reflecting the impact of unusual items on statutory profit, at least in part.
Note: we always recommend investors check balance sheet strength. Click here to be taken to our balance sheet analysis of Asia Commercial Holdings.
The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit
Surprisingly, given Asia Commercial Holdings' accrual ratio implied strong cash conversion, its paper profit was actually boosted by HK$29m in unusual items. While we like to see profit increases, we tend to be a little more cautious when unusual items have made a big contribution. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. We can see that Asia Commercial Holdings' positive unusual items were quite significant relative to its profit in the year to March 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 Asia Commercial Holdings' Profit Performance
Asia Commercial Holdings' profits got a boost from unusual items, which indicates they might not be sustained and yet its accrual ratio still indicated solid cash conversion, which is promising. Considering the aforementioned, we think that Asia Commercial Holdings' profits are probably a reasonable reflection of its underlying profitability; although we'd be confident in that conclusion if we saw a cleaner set of results. So if you'd like to dive deeper into this stock, it's crucial to consider any risks it's facing. When we did our research, we found 5 warning signs for Asia Commercial Holdings (1 doesn't sit too well with us!) that we believe deserve your full attention.
Our examination of Asia Commercial Holdings has focussed on certain factors that can make its earnings look better than they are. 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.

市場似乎對上週公佈的財報不以為然亞洲商業控股有限公司(HKG:104)儘管有健康的數字。我們做了一些調查,我們認為投資者在潛在數據中遺漏了一些令人鼓舞的因素。

聯交所:104盈利及收入歷史2022年8月4日放大亞洲商業控股公司的收益
正如金融書呆子們已經知道的那樣,現金流應計比率是評估一家公司的自由現金流(FCF)與利潤匹配程度的關鍵指標。簡單地説,這個比率是從淨利潤中減去FCF,然後用這個數字除以該公司在此期間的平均運營資產。這個比率告訴我們,一家公司的利潤中有多少不是由自由現金流支持的。
這意味着負的應計比率是一件好事,因為它表明該公司帶來的自由現金流比其利潤所暗示的要多。雖然應計比率為正並不是問題,這表明非現金利潤達到了一定的水平,但高的應計比率可以説是一件壞事,因為它表明賬面利潤與現金流不匹配。這是因為一些學術研究表明,高應計制比率往往會導致較低的利潤或較低的利潤增長。
在截至2022年3月的一年中,亞洲商業控股的應計比率為-0.20。這表明它的自由現金流大大超過了它的法定利潤。事實上,該公司去年的自由現金流為1.65億港元,遠高於其8380萬港元的法定利潤。亞洲商業控股的股東無疑對過去12個月自由現金流的改善感到高興。話雖如此,故事中還有更多的東西。應計比率反映了不尋常項目對法定利潤的影響,至少在一定程度上是這樣。
注:我們總是建議投資者檢查資產負債表的實力。點擊此處查看我們對亞洲商業控股的資產負債表分析。
異常項目對利潤的影響
令人意外的是,考慮到亞洲商業控股的應計比率意味着強勁的現金轉換,其賬面利潤實際上增加了2900萬港元的不尋常項目。雖然我們喜歡看到利潤增加,但當不尋常的項目做出了很大貢獻時,我們往往會更加謹慎。我們對全球大多數上市公司進行了統計,不尋常的項目在性質上是一次性的,這是非常常見的。畢竟,這正是會計術語所暗示的。我們可以看到,在截至2022年3月的一年中,亞洲商業控股的積極異常項目與其利潤相比相當重要。在其他條件不變的情況下,這可能會使法定利潤成為衡量潛在盈利能力的糟糕指標。
我們對亞洲商業控股公司盈利表現的看法
亞洲商業控股的利潤從不尋常的項目中獲得提振,這表明它們可能無法持續,但其應計比率仍顯示出穩健的現金轉換,這是很有希望的。考慮到上述情況,我們認為亞洲商業控股的利潤可能合理地反映了其潛在的盈利能力;儘管如果我們看到一套更乾淨的業績,我們將對這一結論充滿信心。因此,如果你想更深入地研究這隻股票,考慮它面臨的任何風險是至關重要的。當我們做研究時,我們發現亞洲商業控股的5個警告信號(%1與我們的關係不太好!)我們認為這值得你的全力關注。
我們對亞洲商業控股的審查集中在某些因素上,這些因素可能會使其收益看起來比實際情況更好。但如果你有能力將注意力集中在細枝末節上,總會有更多的東西需要發現。例如,許多人認為高股本回報率是有利的商業經濟指標,而另一些人則喜歡“跟着錢走”,尋找內部人士正在買入的股票。雖然這可能需要為您做一些研究,但您可能會發現免費擁有高股本回報率的公司的集合,或者是內部人士購買的有用的股票清單。
