SGX:SHE Earnings and Revenue History April 20th 2026 ## Examining Cashflow Against Soon Hock Enterprise Holding's Earnings One key financial ratio used to measure how well a company converts its profit to free cash flow (FCF) is the **accrual ratio**. The accrual ratio subtracts the FCF from the profit for a given period, and divides the result by the average operating assets of the company over that time. The ratio shows us how much a company's profit exceeds its FCF. As a result, a negative accrual ratio is a positive for the company, and a positive accrual ratio is a negative. While it's not a problem to have a positive accrual ratio, indicating a certain level of non-cash profits, a high accrual ratio is arguably a bad thing, because it indicates paper profits are not matched by cash flow. Notably, there is some academic evidence that suggests that a high accrual ratio is a bad sign for near-term profits, generally speaking. For the year to December 2025, Soon Hock Enterprise Holding had an accrual ratio of -0.25. That indicates that its free cash flow quite significantly exceeded its statutory profit. To wit, it produced free cash flow of S$104m during the period, dwarfing its reported profit of S$37.9m. Given that Soon Hock Enterprise Holding had negative free cash flow in the prior corresponding period, the trailing twelve month resul of S$104m would seem to be a step in the right direction. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. ## Our Take On Soon Hock Enterprise Holding's Profit Performance Happily for shareholders, Soon Hock Enterprise Holding produced plenty of free cash flow to back up its statutory profit numbers.
