Belden (NYSE:BDC) Seems To Use Debt Quite Sensibly
Belden (NYSE:BDC) Seems To Use Debt Quite Sensibly
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 can see that Belden Inc. (NYSE:BDC) does use debt in its business. But the real question is whether this debt is making the company risky.
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. If things get really bad, the lenders can take control of the business. 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.
Check out our latest analysis for Belden
What Is Belden's Debt?
You can click the graphic below for the historical numbers, but it shows that Belden had US$1.14b of debt in July 2022, down from US$1.53b, one year before. However, because it has a cash reserve of US$527.7m, its net debt is less, at about US$610.2m.
NYSE:BDC Debt to Equity History September 1st 2022How Healthy Is Belden's Balance Sheet?
According to the last reported balance sheet, Belden had liabilities of US$590.3m due within 12 months, and liabilities of US$1.39b due beyond 12 months. On the other hand, it had cash of US$527.7m and US$425.6m worth of receivables due within a year. So it has liabilities totalling US$1.02b more than its cash and near-term receivables, combined.
This deficit isn't so bad because Belden is worth US$2.85b, and thus could probably raise enough capital to shore up its balance sheet, if the need arose. But it's clear that we should definitely closely examine whether it can manage its debt without dilution.
In order to size up a company's debt relative to its earnings, we calculate its net debt divided by its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) divided by its interest expense (its 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).
Looking at its net debt to EBITDA of 1.5 and interest cover of 5.7 times, it seems to us that Belden is probably using debt in a pretty reasonable way. But the interest payments are certainly sufficient to have us thinking about how affordable its debt is. Importantly, Belden grew its EBIT by 59% over the last twelve months, and that growth will make it easier to handle its debt. 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 Belden'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 business needs free cash flow to pay off debt; accounting profits just don't cut it. So the logical step is to look at the proportion of that EBIT that is matched by actual free cash flow. During the last three years, Belden produced sturdy free cash flow equating to 58% of its EBIT, about what we'd expect. This free cash flow puts the company in a good position to pay down debt, when appropriate.
Our View
Happily, Belden's impressive EBIT growth rate implies it has the upper hand on its debt. And we also thought its conversion of EBIT to free cash flow was a positive. Looking at all the aforementioned factors together, it strikes us that Belden can handle its debt fairly comfortably. On the plus side, this leverage can boost shareholder returns, but the potential downside is more risk of loss, so it's worth monitoring the balance sheet. The balance sheet is clearly the area to focus on when you are analysing debt. However, not all investment risk resides within the balance sheet - far from it.

大卫·伊本说得很好,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性损失。因此,当你考虑到任何一只股票的风险有多大时,你需要考虑债务可能是显而易见的,因为太多的债务可能会让一家公司倒闭。我们可以看到Belden Inc.(纽约证券交易所代码:BDC)确实在其业务中使用债务。但真正的问题是,这笔债务是否让该公司面临风险。
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。如果情况真的变得很糟糕,贷款人可以控制业务。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,在企业中,债务可以是一个重要的工具,特别是资本密集型企业。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。
查看我们对Belden的最新分析
贝尔登的债务是什么?
你可以点击下图查看历史数字,但它显示,2022年7月,贝尔登的债务为11.4亿美元,低于一年前的15.3亿美元。然而,由于它拥有5.277亿美元的现金储备,其净债务较少,约为6.102亿美元。
纽约证券交易所:BDC债转股历史2022年9月1日贝尔登的资产负债表有多健康?
根据最新报告的资产负债表,Belden有5.903亿美元的负债在12个月内到期,13.9亿美元的负债在12个月后到期。另一方面,它有5.277亿美元的现金和价值4.256亿美元的应收账款在一年内到期。因此,它的负债总额比现金和近期应收账款加起来还要多10.2亿美元。
这一赤字并不是那么糟糕,因为Belden价值28.5亿美元,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。但很明显,我们绝对应该仔细检查它是否能够在不稀释的情况下管理债务。
为了评估一家公司的债务相对于它的收益,我们计算它的净债务除以它的利息、税项、折旧和摊销前收益(EBITDA)和它的利息和税前收益(EBIT)除以它的利息支出(它的利息覆盖)。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)。
考虑到其净债务与EBITDA之比为1.5,利息覆盖率为5.7倍,在我们看来,Belden可能正在以相当合理的方式使用债务。但支付的利息肯定足以让我们思考它的债务负担能力有多强。重要的是,Belden在过去12个月中息税前利润增长了59%,这一增长将使其更容易处理债务。当你分析债务时,资产负债表显然是你关注的领域。但未来的收益将决定贝尔登未来保持健康资产负债表的能力,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,企业需要自由现金流来偿还债务;会计利润只是不能削减这一点。因此,合乎逻辑的一步是看看息税前利润与实际自由现金流相匹配的比例。在过去的三年里,Belden产生了强劲的自由现金流,相当于其息税前利润的58%,这与我们预期的差不多。这种自由现金流使公司在适当的时候处于偿还债务的有利地位。
我们的观点
令人高兴的是,Belden令人印象深刻的息税前利润增长率意味着它在债务上占据了上风。我们也认为它将息税前利润转换为自由现金流是积极的。综合上述因素来看,贝尔登能够相当轻松地处理债务给我们留下了深刻的印象。有利的一面是,这种杠杆可以提高股东回报,但潜在的不利因素是更大的亏损风险,因此值得监控资产负债表。当你分析债务时,资产负债表显然是你关注的领域。然而,并非所有投资风险都存在于资产负债表中--远非如此。一个恰当的例子:我们发现了贝尔登的4个警告信号你应该意识到。
