Is Aeon financially healthy?
Not really
Aeon carries heavy debt: it would take 4.9 years of earnings to pay it off.
The numbers behind it
Net debt / EBITDA4.9 years
Cash vs. debt¥1.35T vs. ¥4.51T
Current ratio1.0×Short-term assets for each ¥1 of bills due within a year
Interest coverage5.0×How many times operating profit covers the interest bill
How we decide
We measure debt in years of earnings (net debt / EBITDA): under 1 is very comfortable, 1 to 3 is manageable, above 3 is heavy. A company that earns less than 3 times its interest bill also counts as weak.
