BWX Technologies (NYSE:BWXT) Seems To Use Debt Quite Sensibly
BWX Technologies (NYSE:BWXT) Seems To Use Debt Quite Sensibly
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.' When we think about how risky a company is, we always like to look at its use of debt, since debt overload can lead to ruin. As with many other companies BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:BWXT) makes use of debt. But the real question is whether this debt is making the company risky.
When Is Debt A Problem?
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. 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. 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 step when considering a company's debt levels is to consider its cash and debt together.

What Is BWX Technologies's Net Debt?
The image below, which you can click on for greater detail, shows that at June 2022 BWX Technologies had debt of US$1.38b, up from US$1.18b in one year. On the flip side, it has US$71.2m in cash leading to net debt of about US$1.31b.
NYSE:BWXT Debt to Equity History September 14th 2022How Strong Is BWX Technologies' Balance Sheet?
According to the last reported balance sheet, BWX Technologies had liabilities of US$409.4m due within 12 months, and liabilities of US$1.59b due beyond 12 months. Offsetting this, it had US$71.2m in cash and US$721.0m in receivables that were due within 12 months. So its liabilities outweigh the sum of its cash and (near-term) receivables by US$1.21b.
This deficit isn't so bad because BWX Technologies is worth US$4.84b, 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.
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). This way, we consider both the absolute quantum of the debt, as well as the interest rates paid on it.
BWX Technologies has a debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.7, which signals significant debt, but is still pretty reasonable for most types of business. However, its interest coverage of 12.1 is very high, suggesting that the interest expense on the debt is currently quite low. One way BWX Technologies could vanquish its debt would be if it stops borrowing more but continues to grow EBIT at around 20%, as it did over the last year. 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 BWX Technologies'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.
Finally, while the tax-man may adore accounting profits, lenders only accept cold hard cash. So we clearly need to look at whether that EBIT is leading to corresponding free cash flow. In the last three years, BWX Technologies created free cash flow amounting to 11% of its EBIT, an uninspiring performance. For us, cash conversion that low sparks a little paranoia about is ability to extinguish debt.
Our View
When it comes to the balance sheet, the standout positive for BWX Technologies was the fact that it seems able to cover its interest expense with its EBIT confidently. But the other factors we noted above weren't so encouraging. For example, its conversion of EBIT to free cash flow makes us a little nervous about its debt. When we consider all the elements mentioned above, it seems to us that BWX Technologies 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. However, not all investment risk resides within the balance sheet - far from it. To that end, you should be aware of the 2 warning signs we've spotted with BWX Technologies .

一些人説,作為投資者,考慮風險的最佳方式是波動性,而不是債務,但巴菲特曾説過一句名言:波動性遠非風險的同義詞。當我們考慮一家公司的風險有多大時,我們總是喜歡看它對債務的使用,因為債務過重可能導致破產。與許多其他公司一樣BWX技術公司(紐約證券交易所代碼:BWXT)利用債務。但真正的問題是,這筆債務是否讓該公司面臨風險。
什麼時候債務是個問題?
債務是幫助企業發展的一種工具,但如果一家企業無法償還貸款人的債務,那麼它就只能聽從貸款人的擺佈。資本主義的一部分是“創造性破壞”的過程,破產的企業被銀行家無情地清算。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。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。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。

BWX Technologies的淨債務是多少?
下圖(您可以單擊查看更多詳細信息)顯示,截至2022年6月,BWX Technologies的債務為13.8億美元,高於一年內的11.8億美元。另一方面,它擁有7120萬美元的現金,導致淨債務約為13.1億美元。
紐約證券交易所:BWXT債轉股歷史2022年9月14日BWX Technologies的資產負債表有多強勁?
根據最新報告的資產負債表,BWX Technologies有4.094億美元的負債在12個月內到期,15.9億美元的負債在12個月後到期。作為抵消,它有7120萬美元的現金和7.21億美元的應收賬款在12個月內到期。因此,其負債比現金和(近期)應收賬款之和高出12.1億美元。
這一赤字並不是那麼糟糕,因為BWX Technologies的價值為48.4億美元,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。但我們肯定希望密切關注其債務帶來太大風險的跡象。
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)。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。
BWX Technologies的債務與EBITDA之比為2.7,這意味着大量債務,但對於大多數類型的業務來説,這仍然是相當合理的。然而,其12.1的利息覆蓋率非常高,這表明債務的利息支出目前相當低。BWX Technologies消除債務的一種方法是停止更多借款,但繼續以20%左右的EBIT增長,就像過去一年所做的那樣。毫無疑問,我們從資產負債表中瞭解到的債務最多。但最重要的是,未來的收益將決定BWX Technologies未來保持健康資產負債表的能力。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。
最後,儘管税務人員可能喜歡會計利潤,但貸款人只接受冷硬現金。因此,我們顯然需要看看息税前利潤是否會帶來相應的自由現金流。在過去的三年中,BWX Technologies創造了相當於其息税前利潤11%的自由現金流,這是一個平淡無奇的表現。對我們來説,低現金轉換引發了一點偏執,那就是償還債務的能力。
我們的觀點
在資產負債表方面,BWX Technologies最突出的積極因素是,它似乎能夠自信地用息税前利潤來支付利息支出。但我們上面提到的其他因素並不那麼令人鼓舞。例如,它將息税前利潤轉換為自由現金流,這讓我們對它的債務有點緊張。當我們考慮到上述所有因素時,在我們看來,BWX Technologies的債務管理得相當好。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。然而,並非所有投資風險都存在於資產負債表中--遠非如此。為此,您應該意識到2個警告標誌我們發現了BWX科技公司。
