Is Overstock.com (NASDAQ:OSTK) Using Too Much Debt?
Is Overstock.com (NASDAQ:OSTK) Using Too Much Debt?
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. We can see that Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) does use debt in its business. But is this debt a concern to shareholders?
Why Does Debt Bring Risk?
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. In the worst case scenario, a company can go bankrupt if it cannot pay its creditors. However, a more common (but still painful) scenario is that it has to raise new equity capital at a low price, thus permanently diluting shareholders. Of course, plenty of companies use debt to fund growth, without any negative consequences. When we think about a company's use of debt, we first look at cash and debt together.

What Is Overstock.com's Debt?
You can click the graphic below for the historical numbers, but it shows that Overstock.com had US$39.6m of debt in June 2022, down from US$42.9m, one year before. But on the other hand it also has US$442.6m in cash, leading to a US$403.0m net cash position.
NasdaqGM:OSTK Debt to Equity History September 24th 2022How Strong Is Overstock.com's Balance Sheet?
We can see from the most recent balance sheet that Overstock.com had liabilities of US$253.6m falling due within a year, and liabilities of US$44.6m due beyond that. Offsetting this, it had US$442.6m in cash and US$23.1m in receivables that were due within 12 months. So it actually has US$167.5m more liquid assets than total liabilities.
It's good to see that Overstock.com has plenty of liquidity on its balance sheet, suggesting conservative management of liabilities. Due to its strong net asset position, it is not likely to face issues with its lenders. Simply put, the fact that Overstock.com has more cash than debt is arguably a good indication that it can manage its debt safely.
In fact Overstock.com's saving grace is its low debt levels, because its EBIT has tanked 42% in the last twelve months. Falling earnings (if the trend continues) could eventually make even modest debt quite risky. The balance sheet is clearly the area to focus on when you are analysing debt. But it is future earnings, more than anything, that will determine Overstock.com's ability to maintain a healthy balance sheet going forward. 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. Overstock.com may have net cash on the balance sheet, but it is still interesting to look at how well the business converts its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) to free cash flow, because that will influence both its need for, and its capacity to manage debt. During the last two years, Overstock.com produced sturdy free cash flow equating to 52% of its EBIT, about what we'd expect. This cold hard cash means it can reduce its debt when it wants to.
Summing Up
While we empathize with investors who find debt concerning, you should keep in mind that Overstock.com has net cash of US$403.0m, as well as more liquid assets than liabilities. So we are not troubled with Overstock.com's debt use. 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. For example Overstock.com has 5 warning signs (and 1 which shouldn't be ignored) we think you should know about.
When all is said and done, sometimes its easier to focus on companies that don't even need debt. Readers can access a list of growth stocks with zero net debt 100% free, right now.

有人說,波動性,而不是債務,是投資者思考風險的最佳方式,但沃倫·巴菲特曾說過一句名言:“波動性遠非風險的代名詞。”當我們思考一家公司的風險有多大時,我們總是喜歡考慮其債務的用途,因爲債務過載可能導致破產。我們可以看到,Overstock.com公司(納斯達克股票代碼:OSTK)確實在其業務中使用了債務。但是這筆債務是股東關心的問題嗎?
爲什麼債務會帶來風險?
一般而言,只有當公司無法通過籌集資金或使用自己的現金流輕鬆還清債務時,債務才會成爲真正的問題。在最壞的情況下,如果公司無法向債權人付款,它可能會破產。但是,更常見(但仍然令人痛苦)的情況是它必須以低價籌集新的股權資本,從而永久稀釋股東。當然,許多公司使用債務爲增長提供資金,而不會產生任何負面後果。當我們考慮公司使用債務時,我們首先將現金和債務放在一起看。

Overstock.com 的債務是什麼?
你可以點擊下圖查看歷史數字,但它顯示Overstock.com在2022年6月的債務爲3,960萬美元,低於一年前的4,290萬美元。但另一方面,它也有4.426億美元的現金,淨現金頭寸爲4.030億美元。
納斯達克GMM: OSTK債轉股歷史記錄 2022年9月24日Overstock.com 的資產負債表有多強勁?
我們可以從最新的資產負債表中看出,Overstock.com的負債爲2.536億美元,此後到期的負債爲4,460萬美元。抵消這一點的是,它有4.426億美元的現金和2310萬美元的應收賬款,這些應收賬款將在12個月內到期。因此,它實際上有1.675億美元 更多 流動資產大於總負債。
很高興看到Overstock.com的資產負債表上有充足的流動性,這表明對負債的管理比較保守。由於其強大的淨資產狀況,它不太可能面臨貸款人的問題。簡而言之,Overstock.com的現金多於債務這一事實可以說是一個很好的跡象,表明它可以安全地管理債務。
實際上,Overstock.com的救命之處在於其低債務水平,因爲其息稅前利潤在過去十二個月中下降了42%。收益下降(如果這種趨勢持續下去)最終也可能使即使是微不足道的債務也相當危險。資產負債表顯然是分析債務時需要關注的領域。但是,未來的收益將決定Overstock.com未來維持健康資產負債表的能力。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,儘管稅務人員可能喜歡會計利潤,但貸款人只接受冷硬現金。Overstock.com的資產負債表上可能有淨現金,但看看該企業如何將其利息稅前收益(EBIT)轉換爲自由現金流仍然很有趣,因爲這將影響其對債務的需求和管理債務的能力。在過去的兩年中,Overstock.com產生了穩健的自由現金流,相當於其息稅前利潤的52%,與我們的預期差不多。這種冷硬現金意味着它可以在需要時減少債務。
總結
雖然我們同情那些認爲債務令人擔憂的投資者,但您應該記住,Overstock.com的淨現金爲4.030億美元,流動資產比負債還多。因此,我們對Overstock.com的債務使用並不感到困擾。毫無疑問,我們從資產負債表中學到的關於債務的知識最多。但歸根結底,每家公司都可以控制資產負債表之外存在的風險。例如,Overstock.com有5個警告標誌(其中一個不容忽視),我們認爲你應該知道。
當一切都說完之後,有時更容易將注意力集中在甚至不需要債務的公司身上。讀者現在可以免費訪問淨負債爲零的成長型股票清單。
