Frontage Holdings (HKG:1521) Has A Pretty Healthy Balance Sheet
Frontage Holdings (HKG:1521) Has A Pretty Healthy Balance Sheet
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.' When we think about how risky a company is, we always like to look at its use of debt, since debt overload can lead to ruin. Importantly, Frontage Holdings Corporation (HKG:1521) does carry debt. But the real question is whether this debt is making the company risky.
When Is Debt Dangerous?
Debt assists a business until the business has trouble paying it off, either with new capital or with free 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, 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.

What Is Frontage Holdings's Net Debt?
As you can see below, at the end of June 2022, Frontage Holdings had US$11.3m of debt, up from none a year ago. Click the image for more detail. However, it does have US$72.3m in cash offsetting this, leading to net cash of US$61.0m.
SEHK:1521 Debt to Equity History September 14th 2022A Look At Frontage Holdings' Liabilities
According to the last reported balance sheet, Frontage Holdings had liabilities of US$82.9m due within 12 months, and liabilities of US$82.0m due beyond 12 months. Offsetting this, it had US$72.3m in cash and US$69.0m in receivables that were due within 12 months. So its liabilities total US$23.7m more than the combination of its cash and short-term receivables.
Since publicly traded Frontage Holdings shares are worth a total of US$593.8m, it seems unlikely that this level of liabilities would be a major threat. However, we do think it is worth keeping an eye on its balance sheet strength, as it may change over time. Despite its noteworthy liabilities, Frontage Holdings boasts net cash, so it's fair to say it does not have a heavy debt load!
Another good sign is that Frontage Holdings has been able to increase its EBIT by 27% in twelve months, making it easier to pay down 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 Frontage Holdings'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, while the tax-man may adore accounting profits, lenders only accept cold hard cash. While Frontage Holdings has net cash on its balance sheet, it's still worth taking a look at its ability to convert earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) to free cash flow, to help us understand how quickly it is building (or eroding) that cash balance. Looking at the most recent three years, Frontage Holdings recorded free cash flow of 24% of its EBIT, which is weaker than we'd expect. That weak cash conversion makes it more difficult to handle indebtedness.
Summing Up
We could understand if investors are concerned about Frontage Holdings's liabilities, but we can be reassured by the fact it has has net cash of US$61.0m. And we liked the look of last year's 27% year-on-year EBIT growth. So we don't think Frontage Holdings's use of debt is risky. Of course, we wouldn't say no to the extra confidence that we'd gain if we knew that Frontage Holdings insiders have been buying shares: if you're on the same wavelength, you can find out if insiders are buying by clicking this link.

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。当我们考虑一家公司的风险有多大时,我们总是喜欢看它对债务的使用,因为债务过重可能导致破产。重要的是临街控股公司(HKG:1521)确实有债务。但真正的问题是,这笔债务是否让该公司面临风险。
债务在什么时候是危险的?
债务帮助企业,直到企业难以偿还债务,无论是用新资本还是用自由现金流。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,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。

前置控股的净债务是多少?
正如你在下面看到的,截至2022年6月底,Fronage Holdings的债务为1130万美元,而一年前为零。单击图像了解更多详细信息。然而,它确实有7230万美元的现金来抵消这一点,导致净现金为6100万美元。
联交所:1521债转股历史2022年9月14日前置控股的负债问题
根据最新报告的资产负债表,Fronage Holdings有8290万美元的负债在12个月内到期,8200万美元的负债在12个月后到期。作为抵消,它有7230万美元的现金和6900万美元的应收账款在12个月内到期。因此,它的负债总额比现金和短期应收账款的总和高出2370万美元。
由于公开交易的Fronage Holdings股票总价值为5.938亿美元,这种负债水平似乎不太可能构成重大威胁。然而,我们确实认为值得关注其资产负债表的实力,因为它可能会随着时间的推移而变化。尽管有值得注意的负债,Fronage Holdings拥有净现金,因此可以公平地说,它没有沉重的债务负担!
另一个好迹象是,Fronage Holdings能够在12个月内将息税前利润增加27%,从而更容易偿还债务。当你分析债务时,资产负债表显然是你关注的领域。但最重要的是,未来的收益将决定Fronage Holdings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,尽管税务人员可能喜欢会计利润,但贷款人只接受冷硬现金。虽然Fronage Holdings的资产负债表上有净现金,但它将息税前收益(EBIT)转换为自由现金流的能力仍然值得一看,以帮助我们了解它正在以多快的速度建立(或侵蚀)现金余额。回顾最近三年,Fronage Holdings的自由现金流占其息税前利润的24%,这一数字低于我们的预期。这种疲软的现金转换增加了处理债务的难度。
总结
如果投资者担心前置控股的负债,我们可以理解,但我们可以放心的是,它拥有6100万美元的净现金。我们喜欢去年息税前利润同比增长27%的表现。因此,我们不认为Fronage Holdings使用债务是有风险的。当然,我们不会拒绝额外的信心,如果我们知道Fronage Holdings的内部人士一直在买入股票:如果你的想法相同,你可以通过点击这个链接来了解内部人士是否在买入。
