Greentown China Holdings (HKG:3900) Takes On Some Risk With Its Use Of Debt
Greentown China Holdings (HKG:3900) Takes On Some Risk With Its Use Of Debt
Legendary fund manager Li Lu (who Charlie Munger backed) once said, 'The biggest investment risk is not the volatility of prices, but whether you will suffer a 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 note that Greentown China Holdings Limited (HKG:3900) does have debt on its balance sheet. But should shareholders be worried about its use of debt?
When Is Debt A Problem?
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. In the worst case scenario, a company can go bankrupt if it cannot pay its creditors. However, a more common (but still painful) scenario is that it has to raise new equity capital at a low price, thus permanently diluting shareholders. Of course, plenty of companies use debt to fund growth, without any negative consequences. The first thing to do when considering how much debt a business uses is to look at its cash and debt together.

What Is Greentown China Holdings's Debt?
As you can see below, at the end of June 2022, Greentown China Holdings had CN¥139.8b of debt, up from CN¥127.9b a year ago. Click the image for more detail. However, because it has a cash reserve of CN¥58.3b, its net debt is less, at about CN¥81.6b.
SEHK:3900 Debt to Equity History September 16th 2022How Strong Is Greentown China Holdings' Balance Sheet?
The latest balance sheet data shows that Greentown China Holdings had liabilities of CN¥302.4b due within a year, and liabilities of CN¥118.5b falling due after that. Offsetting these obligations, it had cash of CN¥58.3b as well as receivables valued at CN¥91.3b due within 12 months. So its liabilities outweigh the sum of its cash and (near-term) receivables by CN¥271.3b.
This deficit casts a shadow over the CN¥39.9b company, like a colossus towering over mere mortals. So we definitely think shareholders need to watch this one closely. At the end of the day, Greentown China Holdings would probably need a major re-capitalization if its creditors were to demand repayment.
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). 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).
As it happens Greentown China Holdings has a fairly concerning net debt to EBITDA ratio of 6.2 but very strong interest coverage of 619. So either it has access to very cheap long term debt or that interest expense is going to grow! Also relevant is that Greentown China Holdings has grown its EBIT by a very respectable 25% in the last year, thus enhancing its ability to pay down debt. The balance sheet is clearly the area to focus on when you are analysing debt. But ultimately the future profitability of the business will decide if Greentown China Holdings 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.
Finally, while the tax-man may adore accounting profits, lenders only accept cold hard cash. So the logical step is to look at the proportion of that EBIT that is matched by actual free cash flow. Over the last three years, Greentown China Holdings saw substantial negative free cash flow, in total. While that may be a result of expenditure for growth, it does make the debt far more risky.
Our View
To be frank both Greentown China Holdings's conversion of EBIT to free cash flow and its track record of staying on top of its total liabilities make us rather uncomfortable with its debt levels. But at least it's pretty decent at covering its interest expense with its EBIT; that's encouraging. We're quite clear that we consider Greentown China Holdings 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. However, not all investment risk resides within the balance sheet - far from it. We've identified 4 warning signs with Greentown China Holdings (at least 1 which is concerning) , and understanding them should be part of your investment process.

传奇基金经理理想汽车·卢曾说,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。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。我们注意到绿城中国控股有限公司(HKG:3900)的资产负债表上确实有债务。但股东是否应该担心它的债务使用情况?
什么时候债务是个问题?
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。在最糟糕的情况下,如果一家公司无法偿还债权人的债务,它可能会破产。然而,一种更常见(但仍令人痛苦)的情景是,它不得不以低价筹集新的股本,从而永久性地稀释股东。当然,许多公司利用债务为增长提供资金,没有任何负面后果。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。

绿城中国控股的债务是什么?
如下所示,截至2022年6月底,绿城中国控股的债务为人民币1398亿元,高于一年前的人民币1279亿元。单击图像了解更多详细信息。然而,由于其拥有583亿加元的现金储备,其净债务较少,约为816亿加元。
联交所:3900债转股历史2022年9月16日绿城中国控股的资产负债表有多强劲?
最新的资产负债表数据显示,绿城中国控股有3024亿元的负债在一年内到期,1185亿元的负债在一年内到期。作为对这些债务的抵销,该公司有583亿加元的现金以及价值913亿加元的应收账款在12个月内到期。因此,它的负债超过了现金和(近期)应收账款的总和2713亿元。
这一赤字给这家399亿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,我们肯定认为股东需要密切关注这一事件。归根结底,如果债权人要求还款,绿城中国控股很可能需要进行一次重大的资本重组。
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)。
碰巧的是,绿城中国控股的净债务与EBITDA的比率相当令人担忧,为6.2,但利息覆盖率非常高,为619。因此,要么它可以获得非常便宜的长期债务,要么利息支出将会增长!同样相关的是,绿城中国控股去年的息税前利润增长了非常可观的25%,从而增强了其偿还债务的能力。当你分析债务时,资产负债表显然是你关注的领域。但最终,该业务未来的盈利能力将决定绿城中国控股能否随着时间的推移加强其资产负债表。所以,如果你关注未来,你可以看看这个免费显示分析师利润预测的报告。
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。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。在过去三年中,绿城中国控股的自由现金流总体上出现了大幅负增长。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
坦率地说,绿城中国控股将息税前利润转换为自由现金流,以及其对总负债保持领先的记录,都让我们对其债务水平感到相当不安。但至少它在用息税前利润支付利息支出方面相当不错;这是令人鼓舞的。我们非常清楚,由于绿城中国控股的资产负债表状况良好,我们认为其风险确实相当大。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。然而,并非所有投资风险都存在于资产负债表中--远非如此。我们已经确定了4个警告信号与绿城中国控股(至少有一家是相关的),了解他们应该是你投资过程的一部分。
