We Think Zhongyu Energy Holdings (HKG:3633) Is Taking Some Risk With Its Debt
We Think Zhongyu Energy Holdings (HKG:3633) Is Taking Some Risk With Its Debt
Warren Buffett famously said, '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 Zhongyu Energy Holdings Limited (HKG:3633) makes use of debt. But the more important question is: how much risk is that debt creating?
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. 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 step when considering a company's debt levels is to consider its cash and debt together.
Check out our latest analysis for Zhongyu Energy Holdings
What Is Zhongyu Energy Holdings's Debt?
As you can see below, Zhongyu Energy Holdings had HK$11.4b of debt, at June 2022, which is about the same as the year before. You can click the chart for greater detail. On the flip side, it has HK$3.38b in cash leading to net debt of about HK$8.02b.
SEHK:3633 Debt to Equity History August 31st 2022How Strong Is Zhongyu Energy Holdings' Balance Sheet?
We can see from the most recent balance sheet that Zhongyu Energy Holdings had liabilities of HK$10.1b falling due within a year, and liabilities of HK$6.65b due beyond that. On the other hand, it had cash of HK$3.38b and HK$2.62b worth of receivables due within a year. So it has liabilities totalling HK$10.8b more than its cash and near-term receivables, combined.
This deficit isn't so bad because Zhongyu Energy Holdings is worth HK$18.2b, 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). Thus we consider debt relative to earnings both with and without depreciation and amortization expenses.
With net debt to EBITDA of 4.4 Zhongyu Energy Holdings has a fairly noticeable amount of debt. On the plus side, its EBIT was 7.2 times its interest expense, and its net debt to EBITDA, was quite high, at 4.4. If Zhongyu Energy Holdings can keep growing EBIT at last year's rate of 17% over the last year, then it will find its debt load easier to manage. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. But it is Zhongyu Energy Holdings's earnings that will influence how the balance sheet holds up in the future. So when considering debt, it's definitely worth looking at the earnings trend. Click here for an interactive snapshot.
But our final consideration is also important, because a company cannot pay debt with paper profits; it needs cold hard cash. So we always check how much of that EBIT is translated into free cash flow. Considering the last three years, Zhongyu Energy Holdings actually recorded a cash outflow, overall. Debt is usually more expensive, and almost always more risky in the hands of a company with negative free cash flow. Shareholders ought to hope for an improvement.
Our View
While Zhongyu Energy Holdings's net debt to EBITDA makes us cautious about it, its track record of converting EBIT to free cash flow is no better. But its not so bad at growing its EBIT. We should also note that Gas Utilities industry companies like Zhongyu Energy Holdings commonly do use debt without problems. Taking the abovementioned factors together we do think Zhongyu Energy Holdings's debt poses some risks to the business. So while that leverage does boost returns on equity, we wouldn't really want to see it increase from here. 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. Be aware that Zhongyu Energy Holdings is showing 4 warning signs in our investment analysis , and 1 of those shouldn't be ignored...

巴菲特(Warren Buffett)曾説過一句名言:波動性遠非風險的代名詞。因此,當你評估一家公司的風險有多大時,聰明的投資者似乎知道債務--通常涉及破產--是一個非常重要的因素。與許多其他公司一樣中裕能源控股有限公司(HKG:3633)利用債務。但更重要的問題是:這筆債務造成了多大的風險?
什麼時候債務是個問題?
一般來説,只有當一家公司無法輕鬆償還債務時,債務才會成為一個真正的問題,無論是通過籌集資金還是用自己的現金流。如果情況真的變得很糟糕,貸款人可以控制業務。儘管這並不常見,但我們確實經常看到負債累累的公司永久性地稀釋股東的權益,因為貸款人迫使他們以令人沮喪的價格籌集資金。當然,在企業中,債務可以是一個重要的工具,特別是資本密集型企業。在考慮一家公司的債務水平時,第一步是同時考慮其現金和債務。
查看我們對中宇能源控股的最新分析
中裕能源控股的債務是什麼?
正如你在下面看到的,截至2022年6月,中裕能源控股的債務為114億港元,與前一年大致相同。您可以單擊圖表查看更多詳細信息。另一方面,它擁有33.8億港元的現金,導致淨債務約為80.2億港元。
聯交所:3633債轉股歷史2022年8月31日中宇能源控股的資產負債表有多強勁?
我們可以從最近的資產負債表中看到,中裕能源控股有101億港元的負債在一年內到期,而66.5億港元的負債在這之後到期。另一方面,它有33.8億港元的現金和價值26.2億港元的應收賬款在一年內到期。因此,該公司的負債總額比現金和近期應收賬款的總和高出108億港元。
這一赤字並不是那麼糟糕,因為中裕能源控股價值182億港元,因此如果需要的話,可能會籌集到足夠的資本來支撐其資產負債表。但很明顯,我們絕對應該仔細檢查它是否能夠在不稀釋的情況下管理債務。
為了評估一家公司的債務相對於它的收益,我們計算它的淨債務除以它的利息、税項、折舊和攤銷前收益(EBITDA)和它的利息和税前收益(EBIT)除以它的利息支出(它的利息覆蓋)。因此,我們考慮債務相對於收益,包括折舊和攤銷費用。
由於淨債務與EBITDA之比為4.4,中裕能源控股的債務規模相當可觀。從好的方面來看,它的息税前利潤是利息支出的7.2倍,淨債務與息税前利潤之比相當高,為4.4。如果中宇能源控股能夠保持去年17%的息税前利潤增速,那麼它將發現自己的債務負擔更容易管理。毫無疑問,我們從資產負債表中瞭解到的債務最多。但影響未來資產負債表表現的將是中裕能源控股的盈利情況。因此,當考慮債務時,絕對值得關注收益趨勢。點擊此處查看互動快照。
但我們的最後考慮也很重要,因為一家公司不能用賬面利潤來償還債務;它需要冷硬現金。因此,我們總是檢查EBIT中有多少轉化為自由現金流。考慮到最近三年,中宇能源控股實際上整體上錄得了現金流出。在自由現金流為負的公司手中,債務通常更昂貴,風險也幾乎總是更高。股東們應該希望情況有所改善。
我們的觀點
儘管中宇能源控股的淨債務與EBITDA之比讓我們對其持謹慎態度,但其將EBIT轉換為自由現金流的記錄也好不到哪裏去。但它在增長息税前利潤方面並不是那麼糟糕。我們還應該注意到,像中裕能源控股這樣的天然氣公用事業行業公司通常會使用債務,而不會出現問題。綜合上述因素,我們確實認為中宇能源控股的債務對業務構成了一些風險。因此,儘管槓桿率確實提高了股本回報率,但我們並不真的希望看到它從現在開始增加。毫無疑問,我們從資產負債表中瞭解到的債務最多。但歸根結底,每家公司都可能包含存在於資產負債表之外的風險。請注意,中裕能源控股公司正在展示我們的投資分析中的4個警告信號,其中一條不應被忽視……
