Is Aker BioMarine financially healthy?
Not really
Aker BioMarine carries heavy debt: it would take 5.1 years of earnings to pay it off.
The numbers behind it
Net debt / EBITDA5.1 years
Cash vs. debtNOK 16M vs. NOK 182M
Current ratio2.6×Short-term assets for each NOK 1 of bills due within a year
Interest coverage0.8×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.
