Is Marcus (NYSE:MCS) A Risky Investment?
Is Marcus (NYSE:MCS) A Risky Investment?
Warren Buffett famously said, '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. Importantly, The Marcus Corporation (NYSE:MCS) does carry debt. But is this debt a concern to shareholders?
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. Part and parcel of capitalism is the process of 'creative destruction' where failed businesses are mercilessly liquidated by their bankers. 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, debt can be an important tool in businesses, particularly capital heavy businesses. When we think about a company's use of debt, we first look at cash and debt together.
Check out our latest analysis for Marcus
What Is Marcus's Debt?
You can click the graphic below for the historical numbers, but it shows that Marcus had US$261.4m of debt in June 2022, down from US$329.8m, one year before. On the flip side, it has US$61.6m in cash leading to net debt of about US$199.9m.
NYSE:MCS Debt to Equity History September 27th 2022How Strong Is Marcus' Balance Sheet?
We can see from the most recent balance sheet that Marcus had liabilities of US$212.5m falling due within a year, and liabilities of US$509.4m due beyond that. Offsetting these obligations, it had cash of US$61.6m as well as receivables valued at US$26.3m due within 12 months. So it has liabilities totalling US$634.1m more than its cash and near-term receivables, combined.
When you consider that this deficiency exceeds the company's US$435.7m market capitalization, you might well be inclined to review the balance sheet intently. In the scenario where the company had to clean up its balance sheet quickly, it seems likely shareholders would suffer extensive dilution.
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). Thus we consider debt relative to earnings both with and without depreciation and amortization expenses.
Even though Marcus's debt is only 2.2, its interest cover is really very low at 1.3. The main reason for this is that it has such high depreciation and amortisation. While companies often boast that these charges are non-cash, most such businesses will therefore require ongoing investment (that is not expensed.) Either way there's no doubt the stock is using meaningful leverage. Notably, Marcus made a loss at the EBIT level, last year, but improved that to positive EBIT of US$22m in the last twelve months. When analysing debt levels, the balance sheet is the obvious place to start. But it is future earnings, more than anything, that will determine Marcus'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. So it is important to check how much of its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) converts to actual free cash flow. Happily for any shareholders, Marcus actually produced more free cash flow than EBIT over the last year. 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, Marcus's level of total liabilities left us tentative about the stock, and its interest cover was no more enticing than the one empty restaurant on the busiest night of the year. But at least it's pretty decent at converting EBIT to free cash flow; that's encouraging. Looking at the balance sheet and taking into account all these factors, we do believe that debt is making Marcus stock a bit risky. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but we'd generally feel more comfortable with less leverage. 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. We've identified 3 warning signs with Marcus (at least 1 which is a bit unpleasant) , and understanding them should be part of your investment process.
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。重要的是馬庫斯公司(紐約證券交易所代碼:MCS)確實揹負着債務。但這筆債務對股東來説是一個擔憂嗎?
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。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。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,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。當我們考慮一家公司的債務用途時,我們首先會把現金和債務放在一起看。
看看我們對馬庫斯的最新分析
馬庫斯的債務是什麼?
你可以點擊下圖查看歷史數字,但它顯示,馬庫斯在2022年6月的債務為2.614億美元,低於一年前的3.298億美元。另一方面,它擁有6160萬美元的現金,導致淨債務約為1.999億美元。
紐約證券交易所:MCS債轉股歷史2022年9月27日馬庫斯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,馬庫斯有2.125億美元的債務在一年內到期,還有5.094億美元的債務在這之後到期。為了抵消這些債務,它有6160萬美元的現金以及價值2630萬美元的應收賬款在12個月內到期。因此,它的負債總額比現金和近期應收賬款的總和高出6.341億美元。
當你考慮到這一缺口超過了該公司4.357億美元的市值時,你很可能傾向於專心審查資產負債表。在該公司不得不迅速清理其資產負債表的情況下,股東似乎可能會遭受廣泛的稀釋。
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。因此,我們考慮債務相對於收益,包括折舊和攤銷費用。
儘管馬庫斯的債務只有2.2英鎊,但它的利息覆蓋率真的很低,只有1.3英鎊。主要原因是它的折舊和攤銷如此之高。雖然公司經常吹噓這些費用是非現金的,但大多數此類業務因此都需要持續投資(即不計入費用)。無論哪種方式,毫無疑問,該股正在使用有意義的槓桿。值得注意的是,馬庫斯去年息税前利潤水平出現虧損,但在過去12個月中有所改善,息税前利潤為正2200萬美元。在分析債務水平時,資產負債表顯然是一個起點。但馬庫斯未來保持健康資產負債表的能力將取決於未來的收益,而不是任何東西。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,重要的是要檢查其息税前收益(EBIT)中有多少轉換為實際的自由現金流。對於任何股東來説,令人高興的是,馬庫斯去年產生的自由現金流實際上比息税前利潤還多。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,馬庫斯的總負債水平讓我們對這隻股票持懷疑態度,它的利息覆蓋率並不比一年中最繁忙的夜晚的一家空蕩蕩的餐廳更誘人。但至少它在將息税前利潤轉化為自由現金流方面相當不錯;這是令人鼓舞的。看看資產負債表,並考慮到所有這些因素,我們確實認為債務讓馬庫斯的股票有點冒險。這並不一定是一件壞事,但我們通常會在槓桿較少的情況下感到更舒服。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。我們已經確定了三個警告信號與馬庫斯(至少1,這是有點不愉快),並瞭解他們應該是你投資過程的一部分。
