Net Profit vs Cash Flow from operations (CFO) - What is more important?

A short thread with examples

Like & Retweet for better reach !

 1. Net income is the profit a company has earned for a period, while cash flow from operations measures the cash going in and out during a company's day-to-day operations i.e., the cash which is generated through its core business.
2. Net income is calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold, operating expenses, depreciation & amortization, interest expense and taxes from total revenue.
3. Cash flow from operations is calculated by adding the non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization to the net profit and then subtracting the changes in working capital.
Now lets understand few differences between Net Profit and Cash Flow from operations (CFO)

1. Net profit is recorded on an accrual basis whereas CFO deals with only cash items. Income earned is recorded in the net profit even if cash is not received
whereas CFO deals with only cash items.

2. Since the net profit is recorded on an accrual basis it's a bit easy to manipulate net profit as compared to CFO.
Let’s understand this with some examples.

Case 1: AMI Organics
If we check in the case of AMI organics, in FY22 its CFO was negative even though net profit was positive. It was because its changes in working capital were greater than net profit in FY22.
Also in multiple years like FY21, FY19, FY18, FY16 etc the CFO was less than the net profit.
Case 2: HCG
Similarly if we check in the case of Healthcare Global (HCG), its CFO has always been greater than its net profit. This is because HCG is a speciality hospital chain and in hospitals the depreciation costs are so high that the company looks loss making
but if we look at CFO we get to know that it is actually generating cash. So CFO can be one of the good measures while analysing hospitals.
Conclusion:
1. Suppose if a company is outsourcing its manufacturing vs a company is manufacturing the products in-house. The company which is outsourcing has no plant and equipment so it will record high net profit since its depreciation costs
will be low as compared to a company which is manufacturing the product in-house. So in such a case looking at the CFO makes more sense.

2. Also in some industries such as hospitals, the depreciation costs are so high that the company looks loss making but if
we look at CFO we get to know that it is actually generating cash as we saw in the case of HCG.

3. So rather than only looking at the net profit it is very important to check how much cash the company is generating through its core operations.
So CFO is one of the important metrics to look for.

Once in a while one should study the company which lacked the execution, which always over-promised and under delivered. Check how market valued it over the period of time. As it gives us the framework to avoid potential capital allocation mistakes i future. 🧪⚗️

10. Success rates

1. What are clinical trials ?
A type of research study that tests how well new medical approaches work in people. These studies test new methods of screening, prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of a disease. Before doing a clinical trial, investigators conduct preclinical

research using human cell cultures or animal models. For example, they might test whether a new medication is toxic to a small sample of human cells in a laboratory.

2. Why are they conducted ?
Clinical trials are conducted to evaluate if a drug is safe for consumption by

human beings and if it is actually effective in curing or preventing a medical condition or disease. Keep in mind, this will be the first time that the drug will be tested on human beings.

3. Phase 0 trials
Phase 0 trials are also known as human micro-dosing study.

What caused all the supply chain bottlenecks? Modern finance with its obsession with "Return on Equity."

To show great ROE almost every CEO stripped their company of all but the bare minimum of assets. Just in time everything. No excess capacity. No strategic reserves. No cash on the balance sheet. Minimal R&D.

We stripped the shock absorbers out of the economy in pursuit of better short term metrics.

Big businesses are supposed to be more stable and resilient than small ones. And economy built around giant corporations like America's should be more resilient to shock. However the obsession with ROE means that no company was prepared for the inevitable hundred year storms.

Now as we're facing a hundred year storm of demand, our infrastructure simply can't keep up.

STOP focusing on Profit

START focusing on Cash Flow

Cash Flow Statement 101:

Every company has 3 reports in its financial statements

1. Balance sheet
2. Income statement
3. Cash flow statement

Most people focus on the Income Statement to look at PROFIT

There is nothing wrong with this…

But profit, isn’t CASH FLOW

Profit is an accounting measure

It doesn’t tell you how much MONEY actually came into the business

Sounds confusing?

Let’s look at an example:

In 2021 Google’s profit was: $76 billion

Whilst accountants know how to prepare a BALANCE SHEET… 95% don’t know how to read them.

Interpreting balance sheets is the HARD bit.

So, here are the first 3 things I look for when reading a balance sheet.

Pull up a chair.

Let's go! 👇

When I review a balance sheet, I need a detailed picture of how the business is funded.

I’ll build out a picture under 3 headings;

1. Capital Structure
2. Working Capital Profile
3. Liquidity Headroom

Let's tackle them each in turn

1. Capital Structure.

The capital structure tells you how a business is funded / owned.

Is the business funded by debt or equity? What is the mix?

Who are the investors and what are their motives? And what are the rights and obligations attached to each?

Take each debt or equity instrument in the balance sheet and get clear on the following:

Who owns it?
How much have they put in?
What are they owed today?
What does their return look like if things go well
What are their rights if things don’t go well?
When does it mature?

I visualize this in a table.

I put the most senior ranking debt at the bottom.

Yes, this is upside down to the way you may have seen this presented before.

What can I say, I'm a rebel 😎

Building conviction on existing portfolio stocks is complex topic. I am still learning and have only 2-3 years exp. Lot of learning is inspired from @varinder_bansal as part of omkara family, listening to old colleage @connectgurmeet on news channel and @unseenvalue posts

https://t.co/KQkupOeFzp financial statements and results on quarterly basis to evaluate whether your thesis on company is still intact through growth in revenue, profits and cash. You cannot rely only on whats app forwards or brokerage updates.

2.Quarterly Con-Calls post result covering enviornment of the sector in which company operates, future expansion plans, & companies confidence in responding to fund managers. (For eg, in my evening walks, i listen to con-calls on You tube rather than music to utilize the time.)

3. High conviction is build when you compare py qtr or py year con call scripts and see whether company giving forward statements were met in subsequent quarters or not. For eg company said they will be doing CAPEX for 100 crores in FY 2020 and then we can see current state.

4. Profits not growing qtr or qt or yr on yr is not the sign for low conviction. You need to screen the balance sheet to see if the company has taken huge R&D expenditure which they believe is right for company as they build new products for future years, then that make sense

We’ve recently seen research about so-called “bots” and misinformation on Twitter and wanted to share our perspective on why findings that might seem remarkable at first are likely inaccurate. We’re working on a more detailed explanation, but some comments for now.

We continue to be excited by the research opportunities that Twitter data provides. Our service is the largest source of real-time social media data, and we make this data available to the public for free through our public API. No other major service does this.

Many researchers, academics, and journalists use our public API — a set of tools for programmatically accessing information on Twitter. We make all public Twitter content available via our APIs. You can learn more about them here:

The basic issue with much of the research based on our public APIs is simple: The APIs don't provide insight into our defensive actions to protect Twitter from manipulation, including bots.

Because of this, API-based research can't distinguish between accounts we've already identified as bad (and hidden or removed) and real, authentic ones.

To people who are under the impression that you can get rich quickly by working on an app, here are the stats for https://t.co/az8F12pf02

📈 ~12000 vistis
☑️ 109 transactions
💰 353€ profit (285 after tax)

I have spent 1.5 months on this app. You can make more $ in 2 days.

🤷‍♂️


I'm still happy that I launched a paid app bcs it involved extra work:

- backend for processing payments (+ permissions, webhooks, etc)
- integration with payment processor
- UI for license activation in Electron
- machine activation limit
- autoupdates
- mailgun emails

etc.

These things seemed super scary at first. I always thought it was way too much work and something would break. But I'm glad I persisted. So far the only problem I have is that mailgun is not delivering the license keys to certain domains like https://t.co/6Bqn0FUYXo etc. 👌

omg I just realized that me . com is an Apple domain, of course something wouldn't work with these dicks

Ok, it's high time to look at the REAL effects of Brexit. As the Tories implode & Labour sits on its hands, companies are executing contingency plans, shifting jobs & assets, slashing investments, or redomiciling (accounting exercise). Happening NOW, not in a fantasy future. 1/95

Barden Corporation is closing down its Plymouth factory after 51 years, putting 400 jobs at risk, as its parent company Schaeffler shifts production to various sites outside the UK due to Brexit.

8 health providers have warned of medicine shortages in the event of a no-deal Brexit: "we do not believe that the current medicine supply plans will suffice, and we will have widespread shortages if we do not respond urgently."

Pfizer - $100 million on Brexit prep: "Pfizer’s preparations are well advanced to make the changes necessary to meet EU legal requirements after the U.K. is no longer a member state, especially in the regulatory, manufacturing and supply chain areas."

The Government has spent £4.2 billion pounds on Brexit preparations (£2.2 billion in previous Budgets, plus an additional £2 billion in the most recent Budget.)

An interesting set of games that I've been vaguely interested in since I was a kid, after seeing one at a friend's house and never being able to find it again, was the BATTLES IN A DISTANT DESERT/BATTLES ON DISTANT PLANETS series.


These are turn-based wargames for windows 3.x, sharing the same engine.
Battles in a Distant Desert is from 1992, and is based on the first Iraq war (Desert Storm)


and Battles on Distant Planets is from 1991, and takes place in SPACE!
I'm pretty sure this is the one I played as a kid.


They've got 3 options to play with:
* Player vs. Player
* Player vs. Computer
* Computer vs. Computer

So it's a 0-2 player game!


They also did a DOS strategy game called "STARDATE 2140.2: GALACTIC CONQUEST" in 1990, but it seems to be lost.
All the games share an experimental AI system based on neural networks.
