Does China Merchants Port Holdings (HKG:144) Have A Healthy Balance Sheet?
Does China Merchants Port Holdings (HKG:144) Have A 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.' 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 China Merchants Port Holdings Company Limited (HKG:144) does have debt on its balance sheet. But should shareholders be worried about its use of debt?
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. Ultimately, if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt, shareholders could walk away with nothing. 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. By replacing dilution, though, debt can be an extremely good tool for businesses that need capital to invest in growth 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 China Merchants Port Holdings's Debt?
As you can see below, China Merchants Port Holdings had HK$35.1b 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$8.86b in cash leading to net debt of about HK$26.2b.
SEHK:144 Debt to Equity History September 13th 2022How Healthy Is China Merchants Port Holdings' Balance Sheet?
According to the last reported balance sheet, China Merchants Port Holdings had liabilities of HK$17.7b due within 12 months, and liabilities of HK$36.0b due beyond 12 months. On the other hand, it had cash of HK$8.86b and HK$4.13b worth of receivables due within a year. So it has liabilities totalling HK$40.7b more than its cash and near-term receivables, combined.
This deficit is considerable relative to its market capitalization of HK$46.2b, so it does suggest shareholders should keep an eye on China Merchants Port Holdings' use of debt. This suggests shareholders would be heavily diluted if the company needed to shore up its balance sheet in a hurry.
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). This way, we consider both the absolute quantum of the debt, as well as the interest rates paid on it.
China Merchants Port Holdings's debt is 4.3 times its EBITDA, and its EBIT cover its interest expense 2.9 times over. This suggests that while the debt levels are significant, we'd stop short of calling them problematic. On the other hand, China Merchants Port Holdings grew its EBIT by 28% in the last year. If it can maintain that kind of improvement, its debt load will begin to melt away like glaciers in a warming world. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. But it is future earnings, more than anything, that will determine China Merchants Port Holdings's ability to maintain a healthy balance sheet going forward. 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. Over the last three years, China Merchants Port Holdings actually produced more free cash flow than EBIT. That sort of strong cash generation warms our hearts like a puppy in a bumblebee suit.
Our View
China Merchants Port Holdings's conversion of EBIT to free cash flow was a real positive on this analysis, as was its EBIT growth rate. On the other hand, its net debt to EBITDA makes us a little less comfortable about its debt. We would also note that Infrastructure industry companies like China Merchants Port Holdings commonly do use debt without problems. When we consider all the elements mentioned above, it seems to us that China Merchants Port Holdings is managing its debt quite well. Having said that, the load is sufficiently heavy that we would recommend any shareholders keep a close eye on it. 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 2 warning signs we've spotted with China Merchants Port Holdings .
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.

馬克斯説得很好,他不是擔心股價波動,而是我擔心的是永久虧損的可能性……我認識的每個實際投資者都擔心。因此,當你考慮到任何一隻股票的風險有多大時,你需要考慮債務可能是顯而易見的,因為太多的債務可能會讓一家公司倒閉。我們注意到招商證券港口控股有限公司(HKG:144)的資產負債表上確實有債務。但股東是否應該擔心它的債務使用情況?
為什麼債務會帶來風險?
債務幫助企業,直到企業難以償還債務,無論是用新資本還是用自由現金流。最終,如果公司不能履行其償還債務的法定義務,股東可能會一無所有地離開。然而,一種更常見(但仍然昂貴)的情況是,一家公司必須以低廉的股價稀釋股東的股份,才能控制債務。然而,通過取代稀釋,對於需要資本投資於高回報率增長的企業來説,債務可以成為一個非常好的工具。當考慮一家企業使用了多少債務時,首先要做的是把現金和債務放在一起看。

招商證券港務控股的債務是什麼?
如下所示,截至2022年6月,招商證券港口控股的債務為351億港元,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,該公司擁有88.6億港元現金,淨債務約為262億港元。
聯交所:144債轉股歷史2022年9月13日招商證券港口控股的資產負債表有多健康?
根據最近一次報告的資產負債表,招商證券港口控股公司有177億港元的負債在12個月內到期,360億港元的負債在12個月後到期。另一方面,該公司有88.6億港元的現金和價值41.3億港元的應收賬款在一年內到期。因此,該公司的負債總額為407億港元,超過了現金和近期應收賬款的總和。
與招商證券462億港元的市值相比,這一赤字是相當可觀的,因此它確實表明股東應該密切關注招商證券港口控股的債務使用情況。這表明,如果該公司需要匆忙支撐其資產負債表,股東將被嚴重稀釋。
我們使用兩個主要比率來告知我們債務相對於收益的水平。第一個是淨債務除以利息、税項、折舊和攤銷前收益(EBITDA),第二個是其息税前收益(EBIT)覆蓋其利息支出(或簡稱利息覆蓋)的多少倍。這樣,我們既考慮了債務的絕對量,也考慮了為其支付的利率。
招商證券港口控股的債務是其息税前利潤的4.3倍,息税前利潤是利息支出的2.9倍以上。這表明,儘管債務水平很高,但我們不會説它們有問題。另一方面,招商證券港口控股去年息税前利潤增長28%。如果它能保持這種改善,它的債務負擔將開始融化,就像全球變暖中的冰川一樣。毫無疑問,我們從資產負債表中瞭解到的債務最多。但決定招商證券港口控股未來保持健康資產負債表能力的,是未來的收益,而不是任何東西。所以,如果你關注未來,你可以看看這個免費顯示分析師利潤預測的報告。
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,合乎邏輯的一步是看看息税前利潤與實際自由現金流相匹配的比例。在過去的三年裏,招商證券港口控股實際上產生了比息税前利潤更多的自由現金流。這種強大的搖錢樹就像一隻穿着大黃蜂西裝的小狗一樣温暖着我們的心。
我們的觀點
招商證券港口控股將息税前利潤轉換為自由現金流是這一分析的一個真正積極的因素,其息税前利潤增長率也是如此。另一方面,它的淨債務與EBITDA之比讓我們對它的債務不那麼放心。我們還應該注意到,像招商證券港口控股這樣的基礎設施行業公司通常會使用債務,而不會出現問題。綜合上述因素,在我們看來,招商證券港口控股公司的債務管理得相當不錯。話雖如此,這筆負擔足夠沉重,我們建議任何股東都要密切關注。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。為此,您應該意識到2個警告標誌我們已經發現了招商證券港口控股公司。
歸根結底,關注那些沒有淨債務的公司往往更好。你可以訪問我們的這類公司的特別名單(都有利潤增長的記錄)。這是免費的。
