Why You Should Care About TKH Group NV’s (AMS:TWEKA) Cash Levels

Two important questions to ask before you buy TKH Group NV (AMS:TWEKA) is, how it makes money and how it spends its cash. What is left after investment, determines the value of the stock since this cash flow technically belongs to investors of the company. I will take you through TWEKA’s cash flow health and the risk-return concept based on the stock’s cash flow yield, using the most recent financial data. This will help you think about the company from a cash perspective, which is a crucial factor to investing.

Is TKH Group generating enough cash?

TKH Group’s free cash flow (FCF) is the level of cash flow the business generates from its operational activities, after it reinvests in the company as capital expenditure. This type of expense is needed for TKH Group to continue to grow, or at least, maintain its current operations.

There are two methods I will use to evaluate the quality of TKH Group’s FCF: firstly, I will measure its FCF yield relative to the market index yield; secondly, I will examine whether its operating cash flow will continue to grow into the future, which will give us a sense of sustainability.

Free Cash Flow = Operating Cash Flows – Net Capital Expenditure

Free Cash Flow Yield = Free Cash Flow / Enterprise Value

where Enterprise Value = Market Capitalisation + Net Debt

TKH Group’s yield of 0.58% indicates its sub-standard capacity to generate cash, compared to the stock market index as a whole, accounting for the size differential. This means investors are taking on more concentrated risk on TKH Group but are not being adequately rewarded for doing so.

What’s the cash flow outlook for TKH Group?

Can TWEKA improve its operating cash production in the future? Let’s take a quick look at the cash flow trend the company is expected to deliver over time. In the next couple of years, the company is expected to grow its cash from operations at a double-digit rate of 83%, ramping up from its current levels of €118m to €215m in three years’ time. Although this seems impressive, breaking down into year-on-year growth rates, TWEKA’s operating cash flow growth is expected to decline from a rate of 32% in the upcoming year, to 13% by the end of the third year. But the overall future outlook seems buoyant if TWEKA can maintain its levels of capital expenditure as well.

Next Steps:

The company’s low yield relative to the market index means you are taking on more risk holding the single-stock TKH Group as opposed to the diversified market portfolio, and being compensated for less. Though the high operating cash flow growth in the future could change this. Now you know to keep cash flows in mind, I suggest you continue to research TKH Group to get a better picture of the company by looking at:
