Key performance indicators
| KPI | Description |
|---|---|
| Cash Ratio | Ability to cover current liabilities using only cash and cash equivalents. Higher values indicate stronger immediate liquidity and lower short-term risk, while lower values indicate greater reliance on converting other short-term assets to meet obligations. |
| Operating Cash Flow Ratio | Proportion of current liabilities covered by operating cash flow. Higher values indicate stronger operating cash generation relative to short-term obligations, while lower values indicate tighter operating liquidity. |
| Cash Flow Coverage Ratio | Ability to service total obligations using operating cash flow. Higher values indicate greater debt-servicing capacity and lower financial risk, while lower values indicate greater dependence on external financing. |
| Working Capital to Total Asset Ratio | Proportion of total assets financed by net working capital. Higher values indicate stronger short-term financial stability and operational resilience, while lower values indicate tighter liquidity relative to the asset base. |
| Cash to Current Liabilities | Extent to which current liabilities are covered by available cash. Higher values indicate stronger short-term solvency and lower default risk, while lower values indicate potential liquidity pressure. |
| Free Cash Flow | Cash generated from operations after capital expenditures. Higher values indicate greater flexibility for debt repayment, reinvestment, and shareholder returns, while lower or negative values indicate constrained cash availability. |
