Here's Why Hope Education Group (HKG:1765) Has A Meaningful Debt Burden
Here's Why Hope Education Group (HKG:1765) Has A Meaningful Debt Burden
Howard Marks put it nicely when he said that, rather than worrying about share price volatility, 'The possibility of permanent loss is the risk I worry about... and every practical investor I know worries about.' 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 Hope Education Group Co., Ltd. (HKG:1765) does have debt on its balance sheet. But is this debt a concern to shareholders?
Why Does Debt Bring Risk?
Generally speaking, debt only becomes a real problem when a company can't easily pay it off, either by raising capital or with its own cash flow. Ultimately, if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt, shareholders could walk away with nothing. 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, 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. The first thing to do when considering how much debt a business uses is to look at its cash and debt together.

What Is Hope Education Group's Net Debt?
The image below, which you can click on for greater detail, shows that Hope Education Group had debt of CN¥4.17b at the end of February 2022, a reduction from CN¥4.38b over a year. On the flip side, it has CN¥950.5m in cash leading to net debt of about CN¥3.22b.
SEHK:1765 Debt to Equity History August 24th 2022How Healthy Is Hope Education Group's Balance Sheet?
We can see from the most recent balance sheet that Hope Education Group had liabilities of CN¥6.54b falling due within a year, and liabilities of CN¥4.98b due beyond that. On the other hand, it had cash of CN¥950.5m and CN¥1.63b worth of receivables due within a year. So it has liabilities totalling CN¥8.93b more than its cash and near-term receivables, combined.
This deficit casts a shadow over the CN¥4.33b company, like a colossus towering over mere mortals. So we'd watch its balance sheet closely, without a doubt. After all, Hope Education Group would likely require a major re-capitalisation if it had to pay its creditors today.
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.
Hope Education Group's debt is 3.1 times its EBITDA, and its EBIT cover its interest expense 4.3 times over. Taken together this implies that, while we wouldn't want to see debt levels rise, we think it can handle its current leverage. The good news is that Hope Education Group grew its EBIT a smooth 69% over the last twelve months. Like a mother's loving embrace of a newborn that sort of growth builds resilience, putting the company in a stronger position to manage its debt. When analysing debt levels, the balance sheet is the obvious place to start. But it is future earnings, more than anything, that will determine Hope Education Group'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 it's worth checking how much of that EBIT is backed by free cash flow. During the last three years, Hope Education Group burned a lot of cash. While that may be a result of expenditure for growth, it does make the debt far more risky.
Our View
On the face of it, Hope Education Group's conversion of EBIT to free cash flow left us tentative about the stock, and its level of total liabilities 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. We're quite clear that we consider Hope Education Group to be really rather risky, as a result of its balance sheet health. So we're almost as wary of this stock as a hungry kitten is about falling into its owner's fish pond: once bitten, twice shy, as they say. When analysing debt levels, the balance sheet is the obvious place to start. But ultimately, every company can contain risks that exist outside of the balance sheet.

马克斯说得很好,他不是担心股价波动,而是我担心的是永久亏损的可能性……我认识的每个实际投资者都担心。因此,当你评估一家公司的风险有多大时,聪明的投资者似乎知道债务--通常涉及破产--是一个非常重要的因素。我们注意到希望教育集团有限公司。(HKG:1765)的资产负债表上确实有债务。但这笔债务对股东来说是一个担忧吗?
为什么债务会带来风险?
一般来说,只有当一家公司无法轻松偿还债务时,债务才会成为一个真正的问题,无论是通过筹集资金还是用自己的现金流。最终,如果公司不能履行其偿还债务的法定义务,股东可能会一无所有地离开。尽管这并不常见,但我们确实经常看到负债累累的公司永久性地稀释股东的权益,因为贷款人迫使他们以令人沮丧的价格筹集资金。当然,债务的好处是,它往往代表着廉价资本,特别是当它用能够以高回报率进行再投资的能力取代公司的稀释时。当考虑一家企业使用了多少债务时,首先要做的是把现金和债务放在一起看。

希望教育集团的净债务是多少?
下图显示,截至2022年2月底,希望教育集团的债务为41.7亿加元,低于一年内的43.8亿加元。你可以点击查看更多详细信息。另一方面,它拥有9.505亿加元的现金,导致净债务约为32.2亿加元。
联交所:1765债转股历史2022年8月24日希望教育集团的资产负债表有多健康?
从最近的资产负债表可以看出,希望教育集团有65.4亿元的负债在一年内到期,还有49.8亿元的负债在一年内到期。另一方面,它有9.505亿加元的现金和16.3亿加元的应收账款在一年内到期。因此,它的负债总额为人民币89.3亿元,比现金和近期应收账款加起来还要多。
这一赤字给这家43.3亿元人民币的公司蒙上了一层阴影,就像一个庞然大物耸立在凡人之上。因此,毫无疑问,我们会密切关注它的资产负债表。毕竟,如果希望教育集团今天不得不偿还债权人的债务,它很可能需要进行大规模的资本重组。
我们使用两个主要比率来告知我们债务相对于收益的水平。第一个是净债务除以利息、税项、折旧和摊销前收益(EBITDA),第二个是其息税前收益(EBIT)覆盖其利息支出(或简称利息覆盖)的多少倍。这样,我们既考虑了债务的绝对量,也考虑了为其支付的利率。
希望教育集团的债务是其EBITDA的3.1倍,EBIT覆盖了利息支出的4.3倍以上。综上所述,这意味着,尽管我们不希望看到债务水平上升,但我们认为它可以处理好目前的杠杆。好消息是,希望教育集团在过去12个月中息税前利润平稳增长了69%。就像母亲慈爱地拥抱新生儿一样,这种增长增强了公司的韧性,使公司在管理债务方面处于更有利的地位。在分析债务水平时,资产负债表显然是一个起点。但最重要的是,未来的收益将决定希望教育集团未来保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。
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,有必要检查这笔息税前利润中有多少是由自由现金流支持的。在过去的三年里,希望教育集团烧掉了大量现金。尽管这可能是增长支出的结果,但它确实使债务的风险大得多。
我们的观点
从表面上看,希望教育集团将息税前利润转换为自由现金流让我们对这只股票持怀疑态度,其总负债水平并不比一年中最繁忙之夜的一家空荡荡的餐厅更具诱惑力。但从好的方面来看,它的息税前利润增长率是一个好兆头,让我们更加乐观。我们非常清楚,由于资产负债表的健康状况,我们认为希望教育集团真的很有风险。因此,我们对这种动物的警惕几乎就像饥饿的小猫害怕掉进主人的鱼塘一样:正如他们所说的那样,一次被咬,加倍害羞。在分析债务水平时,资产负债表显然是一个起点。但归根结底,每家公司都可能包含存在于资产负债表之外的风险。请注意,希望教育集团正在展示我们的投资分析中的2个警告信号,你应该知道关于……
