Does Diebold Nixdorf (NYSE:DBD) Have A Healthy Balance Sheet?

Does Diebold Nixdorf (NYSE:DBD) Have A Healthy Balance Sheet?

Diebold Nixdorf(紐交所:DBD)是否有健康的資產負債表?
Simply Wall St ·  12/11 20:30

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 seems the smart money knows that debt - which is usually involved in bankruptcies - is a very important factor, when you assess how risky a company is. We note that Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated (NYSE:DBD) does have debt on its balance sheet. But is this debt a concern to shareholders?

大衛·伊本恰當地說,'波動性不是我們在乎的風險。我們在乎的是避免資本的永久損失。' 所以,似乎聰明的錢知道,債務——通常與破產有關——是評估公司風險時非常重要的因素。我們注意到,Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated(紐交所:DBD)確實在其資產負債表上有債務。但是,這對於股東來說是一種擔憂嗎?

When Is Debt Dangerous?

債務何時會變得危險?

Debt is a tool to help businesses grow, but if a business is incapable of paying off its lenders, then it exists at their mercy. Part and parcel of capitalism is the process of 'creative destruction' where failed businesses are mercilessly liquidated by their bankers. While that is not too common, we often do see indebted companies permanently diluting shareholders because lenders force them to raise capital at a distressed price. Of course, debt can be an important tool in businesses, particularly capital heavy businesses. The first thing to do when considering how much debt a business uses is to look at its cash and debt together.

債務是幫助企業增長的工具,但如果一家企業無法償還債務,那麼它就處於債權人的控制之中。資本主義的一個組成部分是「創造性破壞」的過程,失敗的企業會被其銀行無情清算。雖然這種情況並不常見,但我們經常看到負債的公司因債權人的壓力被迫以低迷的價格籌集資本,從而永久性稀釋股東權益。當然,債務在企業中可以是一個重要工具,尤其是在資本密集型企業中。考慮一家企業使用多少債務時,首先要查看它的現金和債務。

How Strong Is Diebold Nixdorf's Balance Sheet?

Diebold Nixdorf的資產負債表有多強?

The latest balance sheet data shows that Diebold Nixdorf had liabilities of US$1.31b due within a year, and liabilities of US$1.51b falling due after that. Offsetting these obligations, it had cash of US$262.4m as well as receivables valued at US$665.4m due within 12 months. So its liabilities outweigh the sum of its cash and (near-term) receivables by US$1.90b.

最新的資產負債表數據顯示,Diebold Nixdorf的負債爲13.1億美元,需在一年內到期,以及15.1億美元將在之後到期。 抵消這些義務的是它的現金爲26240萬美元,以及在12個月內到期的應收款爲66540萬美元。 所以它的負債超過其現金和(短期)應收款總和19億美元。

When you consider that this deficiency exceeds the company's US$1.77b market capitalization, you might well be inclined to review the balance sheet intently. In the scenario where the company had to clean up its balance sheet quickly, it seems likely shareholders would suffer extensive dilution.

當你考慮到這個不足超過公司的17.7億美元市值時,你可能會不禁仔細審視資產負債表。在公司必須迅速清理資產負債表的場景中,股東很可能會遭受嚴重稀釋。

We use two main ratios to inform us about debt levels relative to earnings. The first is net debt divided by earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), while the second is how many times its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) covers its interest expense (or its interest cover, for short). This way, we consider both the absolute quantum of the debt, as well as the interest rates paid on it.

我們使用兩個主要比率來了解相對於收益的債務水平。第一個是淨債務除以息稅折舊攤銷前利潤(EBITDA),而第二個是它的息稅前利潤(EBIT)覆蓋其利息支出的次數(或者簡稱爲利息覆蓋率)。這樣,我們同時考慮債務的絕對數量以及所支付的利率。

Even though Diebold Nixdorf's debt is only 2.1, its interest cover is really very low at 1.8. This does have us wondering if the company pays high interest because it is considered risky. Either way there's no doubt the stock is using meaningful leverage. Pleasingly, Diebold Nixdorf is growing its EBIT faster than former Australian PM Bob Hawke downs a yard glass, boasting a 152% gain in the last twelve months. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. But ultimately the future profitability of the business will decide if Diebold Nixdorf can strengthen its balance sheet over time. So if you're focused on the future you can check out this free report showing analyst profit forecasts.

儘管Diebold Nixdorf的債務僅爲2.1,但其利息覆蓋率非常低,爲1.8。這讓我們懷疑公司是否因爲被認爲風險較大而支付高利息。不管怎樣,毫無疑問,股票使用了有意義的槓桿。令人欣慰的是,Diebold Nixdorf的EBIT增長速度比前澳大利亞總理鮑勃·霍克喝一大杯的速度還要快,過去十二個月增長了152%。毫無疑問,我們從資產負債表中學到的關於債務的知識最多。但最終,公司的未來盈利能力將決定Diebold Nixdorf是否能夠隨着時間的推移強化其資產負債表。因此,如果你關注未來,可以查看這份顯示分析師利潤預測的免費報告。

But our final consideration is also important, because a company cannot pay debt with paper profits; it needs cold hard cash. So we clearly need to look at whether that EBIT is leading to corresponding free cash flow. During the last three years, Diebold Nixdorf 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.

但我們最後的考慮也很重要,因爲公司不能用紙上利潤來償還債務;它需要真金白銀。因此,我們顯然需要看看EBIT是否導致相應的自由現金流。在過去三年中,Diebold Nixdorf消耗了大量現金。雖然投資者無疑期待這種情況在適當時候會逆轉,但這顯然意味着它的債務使用更具風險。

Our View

我們的觀點

On the face of it, Diebold Nixdorf's interest cover left us tentative about the stock, and its conversion of EBIT to free cash flow was no more enticing than the one empty restaurant on the busiest night of the year. But on the bright side, its EBIT growth rate is a good sign, and makes us more optimistic. Looking at the bigger picture, it seems clear to us that Diebold Nixdorf's use of debt is creating risks for the company. If all goes well, that should boost returns, but on the flip side, the risk of permanent capital loss is elevated by the debt. The balance sheet is clearly the area to focus on when you are analysing debt. But ultimately, every company can contain risks that exist outside of the balance sheet. These risks can be hard to spot. Every company has them, and we've spotted 3 warning signs for Diebold Nixdorf (of which 1 doesn't sit too well with us!) you should know about.

從表面上看,Diebold Nixdorf的利息覆蓋率讓我們對該股票產生了猶豫,而其EBIT轉化爲自由現金流的表現也沒有比一年中最繁忙的夜晚唯一的一家空餐廳更吸引人。 但從好的方面來看,其EBIT增長率是一個好兆頭,使我們更加樂觀。 從更宏觀的角度來看,Diebold Nixdorf的借貸使用似乎在爲公司製造風險。 如果一切順利,這應該會提升回報,但反過來,債務也提高了永久資本損失的風險。 在分析債務時,資產負債表顯然是需要關注的領域。 但最終,每家公司都可能包含存在於資產負債表之外的風險。 這些風險可能很難發現。每家公司都有這些風險,而我們已經發現了Diebold Nixdorf的3個警示信號(其中1個讓我們感到不安!),你應該知道。
