OCF to EBIT

Cash conversion: operating cash flow over operating profit

One of the 64 measures in Stock Scorer, under Quality — How much of the revenue is really kept — and what did it take to earn it?

How it is worked out

Operating cash flow ÷ operating income

How much of the profit on the income statement turned up as cash. Above 1.0 means more cash came in than profit was reported, usually because customers pay in advance. Not computed on a loss, where the ratio would compare two numbers of opposite sign.

How to read it

catches profit that never becomes cash; undefined on a loss

Whether it counts
