Operating cash flow below the year's profit

How often was the latest year's operating cash flow below that year's profit?

206 of 279 (74%)

In 206 of 279 studied IPOs (74%), operating cash flow in the latest year was below that year's profit.

Mainboard: 137 of 193 (71%); SME: 69 of 86 (80%)

How this is counted

Operating cash flow and profit after tax for the latest full year, both from the offer document's restated statements. An issue counts when cash flow is below profit (below 1.0×). Issues with a loss in the latest year are left out, since the ratio has no meaning there. Working capital tied up in receivables and inventory is the usual reason; each study gives the figures.

The sample is every IPO newboard has studied whose study states the figures this needs: 279 of the 313 studied so far. Each figure is from that issue's own offer document, with its page in the study. Counted on 4 Oct 2026; the count moves as studies are added. It describes these issues and says nothing about any other.
