New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 53% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things.

These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows.

However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management.
