Operating Cash Flow VolatilityVariability in operating cash flow signals less predictable cash conversion from the core business, which can strain liquidity in adverse market periods. For an asset manager dependent on fee receipts, this volatility complicates planning for payouts, hiring or product investment over multiple quarters.
Earnings Per Share DeclineA sharp EPS decline indicates earnings pressure that may reflect lower investment performance, higher costs, or one-off charges. Sustained EPS weakness can erode retained earnings, reduce reinvestment capacity, and weaken confidence among institutional clients, affecting FUM and fees over the medium term.
Missing EBIT/EBITDA DisclosureThe lack of standard operating metrics like EBIT/EBITDA reduces transparency into operating profitability and comparability. This can mask structural cost trends or one-off adjustments, making it harder for investors and clients to assess sustainable margins and long-term operational health.
