We Think SIA Engineering (SGX:S59) Can Stay On Top Of Its Debt

我们认为新航工程(新加坡交易所:S59)能够应对其债务。

David Iben put it well when he said, 'Volatility is not a risk we care about. What we care about is avoiding the permanent loss of capital.' So it might be obvious that you need to consider debt, when you think about how risky any given stock is, because too much debt can sink a company. We note that SIA Engineering Company Limited (SGX:S59) does have debt on its balance sheet. But is this debt a concern to shareholders?

大卫·伊本说得好,他说:“波动性不是我们关心的风险。我们关心的是避免资本的永久损失。”因此,很明显,当你考虑任何给定股票的风险时,你需要考虑债务,因为过多的债务会使公司陷入困境。我们注意到,新航工程有限公司(新加坡证券交易所股票代码:S59)的资产负债表上确实有债务。但是这笔债务是股东关心的问题吗?

What Risk Does Debt Bring?

债务带来什么风险?

Debt and other liabilities become risky for a business when it cannot easily fulfill those obligations, either with free cash flow or by raising capital at an attractive price. If things get really bad, the lenders can take control of the business. However, a more common (but still painful) scenario is that it has to raise new equity capital at a low price, thus permanently diluting shareholders. Of course, the upside of debt is that it often represents cheap capital, especially when it replaces dilution in a company with the ability to reinvest at high rates of return. When we think about a company's use of debt, we first look at cash and debt together.

当企业无法通过自由现金流或以诱人的价格筹集资金来轻松履行这些义务时,债务和其他负债就会成为风险。如果情况变得非常糟糕,贷款人可以控制业务。但是,更常见(但仍然令人痛苦)的情况是,它必须以低廉的价格筹集新的股本,从而永久稀释股东。当然,债务的好处在于它通常代表廉价资本,尤其是当它以高回报率进行再投资的能力取代公司的稀释时。当我们考虑公司使用债务时,我们首先将现金和债务放在一起考虑。

How Strong Is SIA Engineering's Balance Sheet?

新浪工程的资产负债表有多强?

Zooming in on the latest balance sheet data, we can see that SIA Engineering had liabilities of S$279.5m due within 12 months and liabilities of S$70.5m due beyond that. Offsetting these obligations, it had cash of S$493.2m as well as receivables valued at S$307.6m due within 12 months. So it can boast S$450.8m more liquid assets than total liabilities.

放大最新的资产负债表数据,我们可以看到,新航工程在12个月内到期的负债为2.795亿新元,之后到期的负债为7,050万新元。除了这些债务外,它有4.932亿新元的现金以及价值3.076亿新元的应收账款将在12个月内到期。因此,它拥有比总负债多4.508亿新元的流动资产。

It's good to see that SIA Engineering has plenty of liquidity on its balance sheet, suggesting conservative management of liabilities. Given it has easily adequate short term liquidity, we don't think it will have any issues with its lenders. Simply put, the fact that SIA Engineering has more cash than debt is arguably a good indication that it can manage its debt safely.

很高兴看到新航工程的资产负债表上有充足的流动性,这表明对负债的管理比较保守。鉴于它很容易拥有足够的短期流动性,我们认为其贷款机构不会有任何问题。简而言之,新航工程的现金多于债务这一事实可以说是一个很好的迹象,表明它可以安全地管理债务。

Although SIA Engineering made a loss at the EBIT level, last year, it was also good to see that it generated S$5.1m in EBIT over the last twelve months. The balance sheet is clearly the area to focus on when you are analysing debt. But it is future earnings, more than anything, that will determine SIA Engineering's ability to maintain a healthy balance sheet going forward. So if you want to see what the professionals think, you might find this free report on analyst profit forecasts to be interesting.

尽管新航工程在息税前利润水平上出现亏损,但同样令人高兴的是,它在过去十二个月中创造了510万新元的息税前利润。资产负债表显然是分析债务时需要关注的领域。但是,未来的收益比什么都重要,将决定新航工程未来维持健康资产负债表的能力。因此,如果你想看看专业人士的想法,你可能会发现这份关于分析师利润预测的免费报告很有趣。

Finally, a company can only pay off debt with cold hard cash, not accounting profits. SIA Engineering may have net cash on the balance sheet, but it is still interesting to look at how well the business converts its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) to free cash flow, because that will influence both its need for, and its capacity to manage debt. During the last year, SIA Engineering burned a lot of cash. While investors are no doubt expecting a reversal of that situation in due course, it clearly does mean its use of debt is more risky.

最后,公司只能用冷硬现金偿还债务,不能用会计利润偿还债务。SIA Engineering的资产负债表上可能有净现金,但研究该企业将其利息税前收益(EBIT)转换为自由现金流的效果仍然很有趣,因为这将影响其对债务的需求和管理能力。去年,新航工程消耗了大量现金。尽管投资者无疑预计这种情况将在适当的时候逆转,但这显然意味着其使用债务的风险更大。

Summing Up

总结

While we empathize with investors who find debt concerning, you should keep in mind that SIA Engineering has net cash of S$487.6m, as well as more liquid assets than liabilities.
