Cash generation now depends more on working-capital release than on reported earnings in this inventory-heavy parts business.
Over the last two years, operating cash flow swung from-$21.8M to$45.5M even though net income remained negative. Because receivables and inventory eased from earlier highs while capital spending stayed light, recent cash generation reflects balance-sheet release and modest reinvestment more than fully rebuilt earnings power.
