Is Emerson Electric (NYSE:EMR) Using Too Much Debt?
Is Emerson Electric (NYSE:EMR) Using Too Much Debt?
Some say volatility, rather than debt, is the best way to think about risk as an investor, but Warren Buffett famously said that 'Volatility is far from synonymous with risk.' 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. As with many other companies Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE:EMR) makes use of debt. But the more important question is: how much risk is that debt creating?
When Is Debt Dangerous?
Debt is a tool to help businesses grow, but if a business is incapable of paying off its lenders, then it exists at their mercy. In the worst case scenario, a company can go bankrupt if it cannot pay its creditors. However, a more usual (but still expensive) situation is where a company must dilute shareholders at a cheap share price simply to get debt under control. 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 Emerson Electric's Debt?
As you can see below, at the end of June 2022, Emerson Electric had US$11.6b of debt, up from US$7.31b a year ago. Click the image for more detail. However, it also had US$2.53b in cash, and so its net debt is US$9.07b.
NYSE:EMR Debt to Equity History September 26th 2022How Healthy Is Emerson Electric's Balance Sheet?
Zooming in on the latest balance sheet data, we can see that Emerson Electric had liabilities of US$8.81b due within 12 months and liabilities of US$11.9b due beyond that. Offsetting these obligations, it had cash of US$2.53b as well as receivables valued at US$3.81b due within 12 months. So its liabilities outweigh the sum of its cash and (near-term) receivables by US$14.4b.
This deficit isn't so bad because Emerson Electric is worth a massive US$43.7b, 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).
We'd say that Emerson Electric's moderate net debt to EBITDA ratio ( being 2.1), indicates prudence when it comes to debt. And its commanding EBIT of 19.2 times its interest expense, implies the debt load is as light as a peacock feather. Emerson Electric grew its EBIT by 7.9% in the last year. That's far from incredible but it is a good thing, when it comes to paying off debt. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. But ultimately the future profitability of the business will decide if Emerson Electric 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, a company can only pay off debt with cold hard cash, not accounting profits. 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, Emerson Electric generated free cash flow amounting to a very robust 84% of its EBIT, more than we'd expect. That positions it well to pay down debt if desirable to do so.
Our View
Emerson Electric'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! Taking all this data into account, it seems to us that Emerson Electric takes a pretty sensible approach to debt. While that brings some risk, it can also enhance returns for shareholders. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. But ultimately, every company can contain risks that exist outside of the balance sheet. To that end, you should be aware of the 1 warning sign we've spotted with Emerson Electric .
When all is said and done, sometimes its easier to focus on companies that don't even need debt. Readers can access a list of growth stocks with zero net debt 100% free, right now.

一些人说,作为投资者,考虑风险的最佳方式是波动性,而不是债务,但巴菲特曾说过一句名言:波动性远非风险的同义词。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。与许多其他公司一样艾默生电气公司(纽约证券交易所代码:EMR)利用债务。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?
债务是帮助企业发展的一种工具,但如果一家企业无法偿还贷款人的债务,那么它就只能听从贷款人的摆布。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(但仍然昂贵)的情况是,一家公司必须以低廉的股价稀释股东的股份,才能控制债务。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。

艾默生电气的债务是什么?
如下所示,截至2022年6月底,艾默生电气的债务为116亿美元,高于一年前的73.1亿美元。单击图像了解更多详细信息。然而,它也有25.3亿美元的现金,因此它的净债务为90.7亿美元。
纽约证券交易所:EMR债转股历史2022年9月26日艾默生电气的资产负债表有多健康?
放大最新的资产负债表数据,我们可以看到艾默生电气有88.1亿美元的负债在12个月内到期,还有119亿美元的负债在12个月内到期。与这些债务相抵销的是,它有25.3亿美元的现金以及价值38.1亿美元的应收账款在12个月内到期。因此,它的负债比现金和(近期)应收账款之和高出144亿美元。
这一赤字并不是那么糟糕,因为艾默生电气的价值高达437亿美元,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)。
我们会说,艾默生电气适度的净债务与EBITDA的比率(为2.1),表明在债务方面的谨慎。其高达利息支出19.2倍的息税前利润,意味着债务负担轻如孔雀羽毛。艾默生电气去年息税前利润增长7.9%。这并不令人难以置信,但在偿还债务方面,这是一件好事。毫无疑问,我们从资产负债表中了解到的债务最多。但归根结底,该业务未来的盈利能力将决定艾默生电气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,一家公司只能用冷硬现金偿还债务,而不是会计利润。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,艾默生电气产生了相当强劲的自由现金流,占其息税前利润的84%,超出了我们的预期。这使它处于有利的地位,如果需要的话,它可以偿还债务。
我们的观点
艾默生电气的利息担保表明,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!考虑到所有这些数据,在我们看来,艾默生电气对债务采取了一种相当明智的方法。虽然这会带来一些风险,但也可以提高股东的回报。毫无疑问,我们从资产负债表中了解到的债务最多。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。为此,您应该意识到1个警告标志我们发现了艾默生电气。
