Is L'Occitane International (HKG:973) Using Too Much Debt?
Is L'Occitane International (HKG:973) Using Too Much Debt?
The external fund manager backed by Berkshire Hathaway's Charlie Munger, Li Lu, makes no bones about it when he says 'The biggest investment risk is not the volatility of prices, but whether you will suffer a permanent loss of capital.' It's only natural to consider a company's balance sheet when you examine how risky it is, since debt is often involved when a business collapses. Importantly, L'Occitane International S.A. (HKG:973) does carry debt. But the more important question is: how much risk is that debt creating?
When Is Debt Dangerous?
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. Part and parcel of capitalism is the process of 'creative destruction' where failed businesses are mercilessly liquidated by their bankers. However, a more frequent (but still costly) occurrence is where a company must issue shares at bargain-basement prices, permanently diluting shareholders, just to shore up its balance sheet. By replacing dilution, though, debt can be an extremely good tool for businesses that need capital to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about a company's use of debt, we first look at cash and debt together.

What Is L'Occitane International's Net Debt?
You can click the graphic below for the historical numbers, but it shows that as of March 2022 L'Occitane International had €670.9m of debt, an increase on €522.1m, over one year. However, it also had €360.9m in cash, and so its net debt is €310.0m.
SEHK:973 Debt to Equity History July 18th 2022A Look At L'Occitane International's Liabilities
The latest balance sheet data shows that L'Occitane International had liabilities of €841.6m due within a year, and liabilities of €852.8m falling due after that. Offsetting these obligations, it had cash of €360.9m as well as receivables valued at €199.6m due within 12 months. So its liabilities total €1.13b more than the combination of its cash and short-term receivables.
This deficit isn't so bad because L'Occitane International is worth €4.84b, and thus could probably raise enough capital to shore up its balance sheet, if the need arose. But we definitely want to keep our eyes open to indications that its debt is bringing too much risk.
We measure a company's debt load relative to its earnings power by looking at its net debt divided by its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and by calculating how easily its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) cover its interest expense (interest cover). The advantage of this approach is that we take into account both the absolute quantum of debt (with net debt to EBITDA) and the actual interest expenses associated with that debt (with its interest cover ratio).
L'Occitane International's net debt is only 0.66 times its EBITDA. And its EBIT easily covers its interest expense, being 24.1 times the size. So you could argue it is no more threatened by its debt than an elephant is by a mouse. Also positive, L'Occitane International grew its EBIT by 27% in the last year, and that should make it easier to pay down debt, going forward. When analysing debt levels, the balance sheet is the obvious place to start. But it is future earnings, more than anything, that will determine L'Occitane International'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.
Finally, a company can only pay off debt with cold hard cash, not accounting profits. So we clearly need to look at whether that EBIT is leading to corresponding free cash flow. Happily for any shareholders, L'Occitane International actually produced more free cash flow than EBIT over the last three years. That sort of strong cash conversion gets us as excited as the crowd when the beat drops at a Daft Punk concert.
Our View
L'Occitane International's interest cover suggests it can handle its debt as easily as Cristiano Ronaldo could score a goal against an under 14's goalkeeper. And the good news does not stop there, as its conversion of EBIT to free cash flow also supports that impression! Overall, we don't think L'Occitane International is taking any bad risks, as its debt load seems modest. So we're not worried about the use of a little leverage on the balance sheet. Above most other metrics, we think its important to track how fast earnings per share is growing, if at all. If you've also come to that realization, you're in luck, because today you can view this interactive graph of L'Occitane International's earnings per share history for free.
At the end of the day, it's often better to focus on companies that are free from net debt. You can access our special list of such companies (all with a track record of profit growth). It's free.

伯克希尔哈撒韦的外部基金经理理想汽车·卢直言不讳地说,最大的投资风险不是价格的波动,而是你是否会遭受永久性的资本损失。当你考察一家公司的风险有多大时,考虑它的资产负债表是很自然的,因为当一家企业倒闭时,债务往往会涉及到它。重要的是欧舒丹国际有限公司(HKG:973)确实有债务。但更重要的问题是:这笔债务造成了多大的风险?
债务在什么时候是危险的?
当一家企业无法轻松履行这些义务时,债务和其他债务就会变得有风险,无论是通过自由现金流还是通过以有吸引力的价格筹集资本。资本主义的一部分是“创造性破坏”的过程,破产的企业被银行家无情地清算。然而,更常见(但代价仍然高昂)的情况是,一家公司必须以极低的价格发行股票,永久性地稀释股东的股份,只是为了支撑其资产负债表。然而,通过取代稀释,对于需要资本投资于高回报率增长的企业来说,债务可以成为一个非常好的工具。当我们考虑一家公司的债务用途时,我们首先会把现金和债务放在一起看。

欧舒丹国际的净债务是多少?
你可以点击下图查看历史数字,但它显示,截至2022年3月,欧舒丹国际公司的债务为6.709亿欧元,比一年前增加了5.221亿欧元。然而,它也有3.609亿欧元的现金,因此它的净债务为3.1亿欧元。
联交所:973债转股历史2022年7月18日欧舒丹国际公司的负债问题
最新的资产负债表数据显示,欧舒丹国际有8.416亿欧元的债务在一年内到期,8.528亿欧元的债务在一年后到期。为了抵消这些债务,它有3.609亿欧元的现金和价值1.996亿欧元的应收账款在12个月内到期。因此,它的债务总额比现金和短期应收账款的总和还要多11.3亿欧元。
这一赤字并不是那么糟糕,因为欧舒丹国际价值48.4亿欧元,因此如果需要的话,可能会筹集到足够的资本来支撑其资产负债表。但我们肯定希望密切关注其债务带来太大风险的迹象。
我们通过查看公司的净债务除以利息、税项、折旧和摊销前收益(EBITDA),并计算其息税前收益(EBIT)覆盖利息支出(利息覆盖)的容易程度,来衡量公司的债务负担与其盈利能力的关系。这种方法的优点是,我们既考虑了债务的绝对数量(净债务与EBITDA之比),也考虑了与债务相关的实际利息支出(及其利息覆盖率)。
欧舒丹国际的净债务仅为其EBITDA的0.66倍。而且它的息税前利润很容易弥补利息支出,是其规模的24.1倍。因此,你可以辩称,它不会受到债务的威胁,就像大象受到老鼠的威胁一样。同样积极的是,欧舒丹国际去年的息税前利润增长了27%,这应该会使其在未来更容易偿还债务。在分析债务水平时,资产负债表显然是一个起点。但决定欧舒丹国际未来保持健康资产负债表能力的是未来的收益,而不是任何东西。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。
最后,一家公司只能用冷硬现金偿还债务,而不是会计利润。因此,我们显然需要看看息税前利润是否会带来相应的自由现金流。对于任何股东来说,令人高兴的是,欧舒丹国际在过去三年产生的自由现金流实际上超过了息税前利润。这种强劲的现金转换让我们像傻朋克演唱会上节奏下降时的观众一样兴奋。
我们的观点
欧舒丹国际的利息担保表明,它可以轻松处理债务,就像克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多在对阵14岁以下门将的比赛中进球一样。好消息不止于此,因为它将息税前利润转换为自由现金流也支持了这种印象!总体而言,我们不认为欧舒丹国际承担了任何糟糕的风险,因为它的债务负担似乎不大。因此,我们并不担心在资产负债表上使用一点杠杆。在大多数其他指标中,我们认为跟踪每股收益的增长速度(如果有的话)是很重要的。如果你也意识到了这一点,你就幸运了,因为今天你可以免费查看欧舒丹国际公司每股收益历史的互动图表。
