HKT Trust and HKT (HKG:6823) Takes On Some Risk With Its Use Of Debt
HKT Trust and HKT (HKG:6823) Takes On Some Risk With Its Use Of Debt
Warren Buffett famously said, 'Volatility is far from synonymous with risk.' 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. As with many other companies HKT Trust and HKT Limited (HKG:6823) makes use of debt. But should shareholders be worried about its use of debt?
Why Does Debt Bring Risk?
Debt and other liabilities become risky for a business when it cannot easily fulfill those obligations, either with free cash flow or by raising capital at an attractive price. Part and parcel of capitalism is the process of 'creative destruction' where failed businesses are mercilessly liquidated by their bankers. However, a more frequent (but still costly) occurrence is where a company must issue shares at bargain-basement prices, permanently diluting shareholders, just to shore up its balance sheet. Of course, debt can be an important tool in businesses, particularly capital heavy businesses. The first thing to do when considering how much debt a business uses is to look at its cash and debt together.

What Is HKT Trust and HKT's Net Debt?
As you can see below, HKT Trust and HKT had HK$44.3b of debt, at June 2022, which is about the same as the year before. You can click the chart for greater detail. However, because it has a cash reserve of HK$2.05b, its net debt is less, at about HK$42.3b.
SEHK:6823 Debt to Equity History November 21st 2022How Strong Is HKT Trust and HKT's Balance Sheet?
We can see from the most recent balance sheet that HKT Trust and HKT had liabilities of HK$21.5b falling due within a year, and liabilities of HK$52.5b due beyond that. Offsetting this, it had HK$2.05b in cash and HK$4.33b in receivables that were due within 12 months. So it has liabilities totalling HK$67.6b more than its cash and near-term receivables, combined.
This deficit is considerable relative to its market capitalization of HK$70.8b, so it does suggest shareholders should keep an eye on HKT Trust and HKT's use of debt. This suggests shareholders would be heavily diluted if the company needed to shore up its balance sheet in a hurry.
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). Thus we consider debt relative to earnings both with and without depreciation and amortization expenses.
HKT Trust and HKT's debt is 4.5 times its EBITDA, and its EBIT cover its interest expense 6.1 times over. This suggests that while the debt levels are significant, we'd stop short of calling them problematic. Importantly HKT Trust and HKT's EBIT was essentially flat over the last twelve months. We would prefer to see some earnings growth, because that always helps diminish debt. When analysing debt levels, the balance sheet is the obvious place to start. But it is future earnings, more than anything, that will determine HKT Trust and HKT'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, a company can only pay off debt with cold hard cash, not accounting profits. So we always check how much of that EBIT is translated into free cash flow. Over the most recent three years, HKT Trust and HKT recorded free cash flow worth 78% of its EBIT, which is around normal, given free cash flow excludes interest and tax. This free cash flow puts the company in a good position to pay down debt, when appropriate.
Our View
Neither HKT Trust and HKT's ability handle its debt, based on its EBITDA, nor its level of total liabilities gave us confidence in its ability to take on more debt. But the good news is it seems to be able to convert EBIT to free cash flow with ease. Looking at all the angles mentioned above, it does seem to us that HKT Trust and HKT is a somewhat risky investment as a result of its debt. That's not necessarily a bad thing, since leverage can boost returns on equity, but it is something to be aware of. The balance sheet is clearly the area to focus on when you are analysing debt. 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 2 warning signs for HKT Trust and HKT (of which 1 is potentially serious!) 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.

巴菲特(Warren Buffett)曾説過一句名言:波動性遠非風險的代名詞。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。與許多其他公司一樣香港電訊-SS有限公司(HKG:6823)利用債務。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?
當一家企業無法輕鬆履行這些義務時,債務和其他債務就會變得有風險,無論是通過自由現金流還是通過以有吸引力的價格籌集資本。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,更常見(但代價仍然高昂)的情況是,一家公司必須以極低的價格發行股票,永久性地稀釋股東的股份,只是為了支撐其資產負債表。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。

香港電訊-SS的淨負債是多少?
如下所示,截至2022年6月,香港電訊-SS的債務為443億港元,與前一年大致相同。您可以單擊圖表查看更多詳細信息。然而,由於其現金儲備為20.5億港元,其淨債務較少,約為423億港元。
聯交所:6823債轉股歷史2022年11月21日香港電訊-SS的資產負債表有多強?
我們從最近的資產負債表可以看到,香港電訊-SS有215億港元的負債在一年內到期,而在這之後還有525億港元的負債到期。作為抵消,該公司有20.5億港元現金和43.3億港元應收賬款在12個月內到期。因此,該公司的負債總額為676億港元,超過其現金和近期應收賬款的總和。
與香港電訊-SS 708億港元的市值相比,這一赤字是相當可觀的,因此這確實表明股東應該密切關注香港電訊-SS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。
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)。因此,我們考慮債務相對於收益,包括折舊和攤銷費用。
香港電訊-SS的債務是其息税前利潤的4.5倍,息税前利潤是利息支出的6.1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。重要的是,香港電訊-SS的息税前利潤在過去12個月基本持平。我們更希望看到一些收益增長,因為這總是有助於減少債務。在分析債務水平時,資產負債表顯然是一個起點。但最重要的是,未來的收益將決定香港電訊-SS未來能否保持健康的資產負債表。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,一家公司只能用冷硬現金償還債務,而不是會計利潤。因此,我們總是檢查EBIT中有多少轉化為自由現金流。在最近三年中,香港電訊-SS錄得的自由現金流相當於其息税前利潤的78%,考慮到自由現金流不包括利息和税收,這一比例接近正常水平。這種自由現金流使公司在適當的時候處於償還債務的有利地位。
我們的觀點
無論是香港電訊-SS基於EBITDA處理債務的能力,還是其總負債水平,都讓我們對其承擔更多債務的能力失去信心。但好消息是,它似乎能夠輕鬆地將息税前利潤轉換為自由現金流。綜上所述,在我們看來,由於香港電訊-SS的債務,它確實是一項有一定風險的投資。這不一定是一件壞事,因為槓桿可以提高股本回報率,但這是需要注意的。當你分析債務時,資產負債表顯然是你關注的領域。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,我們已經發現香港電訊-SS的2個警示標誌(其中1人可能是嚴重的!)你應該知道。
