Sample management briefing
We made a profit, so why did cash go down?
Operating profit was positive this month, but cash fell by KRW 58 million. Cash tied up in receivables and inventory, together with net cash outflows from investing and financing activities, explains the difference.
Number
Closing cash
KRW 362 million
Meaning
Closing cash is KRW 362 million, down KRW 58 million from a month earlier. The balance alone may look comfortable, but you can only judge how much cash you can really rely on once you know whether this decrease is a one-off or a recurring pattern.
Next question
Will cash fall by a similar amount over the next two months?
This month's action
First confirm the collection schedule for receivables by customer, then lay out confirmed inflows and essential spending week by week for the next eight weeks. Review inventory orders and investment timing against the minimum cash level you need to keep.
What we will ask in the consultationOver the next eight weeks, how much spending must go out, and how much incoming cash is confirmed?
