Cash Flow

A key metric in assessing financial health is the accrual ratio, determined by subtracting free cash flow (FCF) from profit and dividing by average operating assets. A negative accrual ratio means that a company's free cash flow exceeds its reported profit, which is generally viewed as a strong financial sign.

For the most recent fiscal period, Spin Master recorded an accrual ratio of -0.11. This reflected a substantial cash flow compared to its statutory profit, highlighting strong cash generation capabilities. However, certain unusual items impacted the reported profit, influencing the accrual ratio.
