Im Automation Systems Limited, a British automation business, reported revenue of GBP 25.3m for FY2026, up 75.3% from GBP 14.4m. Net profit rose to GBP 1.8m from GBP 660k, and the operating margin widened to 9.6% from 6.6%. The cash line went the other way. Cash fell by GBP 3.3m to GBP 1.9m, from GBP 5.3m a year earlier. The equity ratio slipped to 54.7% from 61.4%, which is a smaller move than the cash line.
The likely reason sits in trade receivables. They rose to GBP 4.4m from GBP 666k, and receivable days stretched to 64 days from 17 days. In project-based work, profit is booked when the sale is made, while customers often pay weeks later and the supplier carries the cost until then. The accounts do not show which customers are paying late. I would watch the cash line next year. Profit is an opinion about the year, and cash is the fact.
