We Think MMG (HKG:1208) Is Taking Some Risk With Its Debt
We Think MMG (HKG:1208) Is Taking Some Risk With Its Debt
Warren Buffett famously said, 'Volatility is far from synonymous with risk.' It's only natural to consider a company's balance sheet when you examine how risky it is, since debt is often involved when a business collapses. As with many other companies MMG Limited (HKG:1208) makes use of debt. But the real question is whether this debt is making the company risky.
Why Does Debt Bring Risk?
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, plenty of companies use debt to fund growth, without any negative consequences. The first step when considering a company's debt levels is to consider its cash and debt together.

What Is MMG's Net Debt?
The image below, which you can click on for greater detail, shows that MMG had debt of US$5.72b at the end of June 2022, a reduction from US$6.59b over a year. However, it does have US$497.1m in cash offsetting this, leading to net debt of about US$5.22b.
SEHK:1208 Debt to Equity History September 18th 2022How Strong Is MMG's Balance Sheet?
Zooming in on the latest balance sheet data, we can see that MMG had liabilities of US$1.65b due within 12 months and liabilities of US$6.75b due beyond that. Offsetting these obligations, it had cash of US$497.1m as well as receivables valued at US$403.6m due within 12 months. So it has liabilities totalling US$7.50b more than its cash and near-term receivables, combined.
This deficit casts a shadow over the US$2.18b company, like a colossus towering over mere mortals. So we'd watch its balance sheet closely, without a doubt. At the end of the day, MMG would probably need a major re-capitalization if its creditors were to demand repayment.
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).
MMG has a debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.0 and its EBIT covered its interest expense 3.8 times. This suggests that while the debt levels are significant, we'd stop short of calling them problematic. Worse, MMG's EBIT was down 33% over the last year. If earnings keep going like that over the long term, it has a snowball's chance in hell of paying off that debt. When analysing debt levels, the balance sheet is the obvious place to start. But ultimately the future profitability of the business will decide if MMG can strengthen its balance sheet over time. So if you want to see what the professionals think, you might find this free report on analyst profit forecasts to be interesting.
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. Over the last three years, MMG actually produced more free cash flow than EBIT. That sort of strong cash conversion gets us as excited as the crowd when the beat drops at a Daft Punk concert.
Our View
On the face of it, MMG's EBIT growth rate left us tentative about the stock, and its level of total liabilities was no more enticing than the one empty restaurant on the busiest night of the year. But on the bright side, its conversion of EBIT to free cash flow is a good sign, and makes us more optimistic. We're quite clear that we consider MMG to be really rather risky, as a result of its balance sheet health. So we're almost as wary of this stock as a hungry kitten is about falling into its owner's fish pond: once bitten, twice shy, as they say. 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. These risks can be hard to spot. Every company has them, and we've spotted 1 warning sign for MMG you should know about.
Of course, if you're the type of investor who prefers buying stocks without the burden of debt, then don't hesitate to discover our exclusive list of net cash growth stocks, today.

巴菲特(Warren Buffett)曾説過一句名言:波動性遠非風險的代名詞。當你考察一家公司的風險有多大時,考慮它的資產負債表是很自然的,因為當一家企業倒閉時,債務往往會涉及到它。與許多其他公司一樣MMG有限公司(HKG:1208)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。
為什麼債務會帶來風險?
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。在最糟糕的情況下,如果一家公司無法償還債權人的債務,它可能會破產。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。當然,許多公司利用債務為增長提供資金,沒有任何負面後果。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MMG的最新分析
MMG的淨債務是多少?
下圖顯示,截至2022年6月底,MMG的債務為57.2億美元,低於一年內的65.9億美元。然而,它確實有4.971億美元的現金來抵消這一點,導致淨債務約為52.2億美元。
聯交所:1208債轉股歷史2022年9月18日五礦資源的資產負債表有多強勁?
放大最新的資產負債表數據,我們可以看到,MMG有16.5億美元的負債在12個月內到期,而在這之後還有67.5億美元的負債到期。為了抵消這些債務,它有4.971億美元的現金以及價值4.036億美元的應收賬款在12個月內到期。因此,它的負債總額比現金和近期應收賬款加起來還要多75億美元。
這一赤字給這家市值21.8億美元的公司蒙上了一層陰影,就像一個龐然大物聳立在凡人之上。因此,毫無疑問,我們會密切關注它的資產負債表。歸根結底,如果債權人要求償還,五礦資源可能需要進行大規模的資本重組。
我們通過查看公司的淨債務除以利息、税項、折舊和攤銷前收益(EBITDA),並計算其息税前收益(EBIT)覆蓋利息支出(利息覆蓋)的容易程度,來衡量公司的債務負擔與其盈利能力的關係。這種方法的優點是,我們既考慮了債務的絕對數量(淨債務與EBITDA之比),也考慮了與債務相關的實際利息支出(及其利息覆蓋率)。
MMG的債務與EBITDA之比為3.0,EBIT覆蓋了利息支出的3.8倍。這表明,儘管債務水平很高,但我們不會説它們有問題。更糟糕的是,MMG的息税前利潤比去年下降了33%。如果長期盈利保持這樣的水平,它在地獄裏償還債務的機會就像滾雪球一樣渺茫。在分析債務水平時,資產負債表顯然是一個起點。但最終,該業務未來的盈利能力將決定五礦資源能否隨着時間的推移加強其資產負債表。因此,如果你想看看專業人士的想法,你可能會發現這份關於分析師利潤預測的免費報告很有趣。
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。在過去的三年裏,MMG產生的自由現金流實際上超過了息税前利潤。這種強勁的現金轉換讓我們像傻朋克演唱會上節奏下降時的觀眾一樣興奮。
我們的觀點
從表面上看,MMG的息税前利潤增長率讓我們對該股持懷疑態度,其總負債水平並不比一年中最繁忙之夜的一家空蕩蕩的餐廳更誘人。但從好的方面來看,它將息税前利潤轉換為自由現金流是一個好跡象,讓我們更加樂觀。我們非常清楚,由於MMG的資產負債表狀況良好,我們認為它的風險確實相當大。因此,我們對這種動物的警惕幾乎就像飢餓的小貓害怕掉進主人的魚塘一樣:正如他們所説的那樣,一次被咬,加倍害羞。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。這些風險可能很難發現。每家公司都有它們,我們已經發現1個MMG警告標誌你應該知道。
