Epicon Berhad (KLSE:EPICON) Posted Healthy Earnings But There Are Some Other Factors To Be Aware Of
Last week's profit announcement from Epicon Berhad (KLSE:EPICON) was underwhelming for investors, despite headline numbers being robust. We did some digging and found some worrying underlying problems. Check out our latest analysis for Epicon Berhad One key financial ratio used to measure how well a company converts its profit to free cash flow (FCF) is the accrual ratio. 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. The ratio shows us how much a company's profit exceeds its FCF. Therefore, it's actually considered a good thing when a company has a negative accrual ratio, but a bad thing if its accrual ratio is positive. 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. Notably, there is some academic evidence that suggests that a high accrual ratio is a bad sign for near-term profits, generally speaking. For the year to December 2024, Epicon Berhad had an accrual ratio of 1.05. As a general rule, that bodes poorly for future profitability. And indeed, during the period the company didn't produce any free cash flow whatsoever. In the last twelve months it actually had negative free cash flow, with an outflow of RM51m despite its profit of RM9.39m, mentioned above. It's worth noting that Epicon Berhad generated positive FCF of RM1.7m a year ago, so at least they've done it in the past. Note: we always recommend investors check balance sheet strength. Click here to be taken to our balance sheet analysis of Epicon Berhad. As we discussed above, we think Epicon Berhad's earnings were not supported by free cash flow, which might concern some investors. As a result, we think it may well be the case that Epicon Berhad's underlying earnings power is lower than its statutory profit. But the happy news is that, while acknowledging we have to look beyond the statutory numbers, those numbers are still improving, with EPS growing at a very high rate over the last year. The goal of this article has been to assess how well we can rely on the statutory earnings to reflect the company's potential, but there is plenty more to consider. If you want to do dive deeper into Epicon Berhad, you'd also look into what risks it is currently facing. Be aware that Epicon Berhad is showing 2 warning signs in our investment analysis and 1 of those is concerning... This note has only looked at a single factor that sheds light on the nature of Epicon Berhad's profit. But there are plenty of other ways to inform your opinion of a company.
