Does Vista Outdoor (NYSE:VSTO) Have A Healthy Balance Sheet?
Does Vista Outdoor (NYSE:VSTO) Have A Healthy Balance Sheet?
The external fund manager backed by Berkshire Hathaway's Charlie Munger, Li Lu, makes no bones about it when he says '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. Importantly, Vista Outdoor Inc. (NYSE:VSTO) does carry debt. But is this debt a concern to shareholders?
Why Does Debt Bring Risk?
Debt assists a business until the business has trouble paying it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. Part and parcel of capitalism is the process of 'creative destruction' where failed businesses are mercilessly liquidated by their bankers. 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 step when considering a company's debt levels is to consider its cash and debt together.

How Much Debt Does Vista Outdoor Carry?
The image below, which you can click on for greater detail, shows that at June 2022 Vista Outdoor had debt of US$586.3m, up from US$495.7m in one year. However, it also had US$36.6m in cash, and so its net debt is US$549.6m.
NYSE:VSTO Debt to Equity History September 28th 2022How Healthy Is Vista Outdoor's Balance Sheet?
The latest balance sheet data shows that Vista Outdoor had liabilities of US$420.4m due within a year, and liabilities of US$787.3m falling due after that. Offsetting this, it had US$36.6m in cash and US$436.4m in receivables that were due within 12 months. So its liabilities outweigh the sum of its cash and (near-term) receivables by US$734.8m.
This deficit isn't so bad because Vista Outdoor is worth US$1.37b, and thus could probably raise enough capital to shore up its balance sheet, if the need arose. But we definitely want to keep our eyes open to indications that its debt is bringing too much risk.
We measure a company's debt load relative to its earnings power by looking at its net debt divided by its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and by calculating how easily its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) cover its interest expense (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).
Vista Outdoor has a low net debt to EBITDA ratio of only 0.73. And its EBIT easily covers its interest expense, being 26.1 times the size. So we're pretty relaxed about its super-conservative use of debt. On top of that, Vista Outdoor grew its EBIT by 84% 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 ultimately the future profitability of the business will decide if Vista Outdoor 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.
But our final consideration is also important, because a company cannot pay debt with paper profits; it needs cold hard cash. 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, Vista Outdoor produced sturdy free cash flow equating to 70% of its EBIT, about what we'd expect. This cold hard cash means it can reduce its debt when it wants to.
Our View
The good news is that Vista Outdoor's demonstrated ability to cover its interest expense with its EBIT delights us like a fluffy puppy does a toddler. But, on a more sombre note, we are a little concerned by its level of total liabilities. Zooming out, Vista Outdoor seems to use debt quite reasonably; and that gets the nod from us. After all, sensible leverage can boost returns on equity. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. However, not all investment risk resides within the balance sheet - far from it. Be aware that Vista Outdoor is showing 2 warning signs in our investment analysis , and 1 of those is significant...
At the end of the day, it's often better to focus on companies that are free from net debt. You can access our special list of such companies (all with a track record of profit growth). It's free.

伯克希尔哈撒韦的外部基金经理理想汽车·卢直言不讳地说,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。重要的是Vista户外公司(纽约证券交易所代码:VSTO)确实背负着债务。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?
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。资本主义的一部分是“创造性破坏”的过程,破产的企业被银行家无情地清算。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。在考虑一家公司的债务水平时,第一步是同时考虑其现金和债务。

Vista Outdoor背负着多少债务?
下图显示,截至2022年6月,Vista Outdoor的债务为5.863亿美元,高于一年内的4.957亿美元。然而,它也有3660万美元的现金,因此它的净债务为5.496亿美元。
纽约证券交易所:VSTO债转股历史2022年9月28日Vista Outdoor的资产负债表有多健康?
最新的资产负债表数据显示,Vista Outdoor有4.204亿美元的债务在一年内到期,7.873亿美元的债务在一年后到期。作为抵消,它有3660万美元的现金和4.364亿美元的应收账款在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7.348亿美元。
这一赤字并不是那么糟糕,因为Vista Outdoor价值13.7亿美元,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。但我们肯定希望密切关注其债务带来太大风险的迹象。
我们通过查看公司的净债务除以利息、税项、折旧和摊销前收益(EBITDA),并计算其息税前收益(EBIT)覆盖利息支出(利息覆盖)的容易程度,来衡量公司的债务负担与其盈利能力的关系。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)。
Vista Outdoor的净债务与EBITDA之比较低,仅为0.73。而且它的息税前利润很容易弥补利息支出,是其规模的26.1倍。因此,我们对它对债务的超级保守使用相当放松。最重要的是,Vista Outdoor在过去12个月中息税前利润增长了84%,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。但最终,该业务未来的盈利能力将决定Vista Outdoor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。
但我们的最后考虑也很重要,因为一家公司不能用账面利润来偿还债务;它需要冷硬现金。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。在过去的三年里,Vista Outdoor产生了相当于其息税前利润的70%的强劲自由现金流,这与我们预期的差不多。这种冷酷的现金意味着,它可以在想要的时候减少债务。
我们的观点
好消息是,Vista Outdoor被证明有能力通过息税前利润来支付利息支出,这让我们感到高兴,就像一只毛茸茸的小狗对待蹒跚学步的孩子一样。但是,更为悲观的是,我们对其总负债水平略感担忧。缩小范围,Vista Outdoor似乎相当合理地使用债务;这得到了我们的认可。毕竟,合理的杠杆可以提高股本回报率。毫无疑问,我们从资产负债表中了解到的债务最多。然而,并非所有投资风险都存在于资产负债表中--远非如此。请注意,Vista Outdoor正在显示我们的投资分析中的2个警告信号,其中一条意义重大……
