How does the cash flow from operations compare to the prior quarter and to the company’s cash conversion ratio target?
Answer
The press release you referenced does not include the specific figures needed to answer the question about cash‑flow performance:
| Information needed | Present in the release? |
|---|---|
| Cash flow from operations for Q2 2025 | No – the statement is cut off after “Cash Flow fro…”. |
| Cash flow from operations for Q1 2025 (the prior quarter) | No – the prior‑quarter amount is not disclosed. |
| Company’s cash‑conversion‑ratio target | No – the target metric is not mentioned in the excerpt. |
Because the release does not provide:
- The actual cash‑flow‑from‑operations amount for the second quarter (e.g., $X million),
- The comparable cash‑flow‑from‑operations figure for the first quarter, and
- The cash‑conversion‑ratio goal that management is aiming to achieve,
it isn’t possible to determine:
- Whether cash flow from operations increased or decreased versus the prior quarter, and
- If the current cash‑conversion ratio meets, exceeds, or falls short of the company’s target.
What to Do Next
To obtain a complete answer, you’ll need to locate the missing pieces of information:
- Full Addus HomeCare Q2 2025 earnings release – The complete press release (or the accompanying SEC Form 10‑Q) will list cash flow from operations and may include a discussion of cash‑conversion performance.
- Q1 2025 earnings release – The prior‑quarter filing will provide the cash‑flow‑from‑operations figure for comparison.
- Management commentary on cash‑conversion – Companies often disclose a target cash‑conversion ratio (e.g., “≥ 1.0”) in earnings calls, investor presentations, or the “Management Discussion & Analysis” (MD&A) section of the 10‑Q.
Potential sources:
- Addus HomeCare’s investor‑relations website (press releases, SEC filings).
- The SEC’s EDGAR database (search for “Addus HomeCare 2025 10‑Q”).
- Transcripts of the Q2 2025 earnings call, where management may have addressed cash‑conversion goals.
Sample Framework (if the data were available)
If you later obtain the figures, you could evaluate the cash‑conversion ratio as follows:
| Period | Net Income (GAAP) | Cash Flow from Operations | Cash‑Conversion Ratio (CFO ÷ Net Income) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 2025 | $X million | $Y million | CFO/Net Income = Z |
| Q2 2025 | $22.1 million | $A million (from full release) | CFO/Net Income = B |
- Comparison to prior quarter: If B > Z, cash conversion improved; if B < Z, it declined.
- Comparison to target: If the company’s target is, for example, a cash‑conversion ratio of ≥ 1.0, then B ≥ 1.0 indicates the target is met; B < 1.0 suggests the target is missed.
Bottom Line
Based solely on the excerpt you provided, we cannot determine how cash flow from operations in Q2 2025 compares to the prior quarter or to the company’s cash‑conversion ratio target. You’ll need to retrieve the complete earnings release (or the SEC filing) that contains the missing cash‑flow figures and any stated conversion‑ratio goal.
