Is Black Box financially healthy?
Not really
Black Box earns only 2.5 times its interest bill, which leaves little room.
The numbers behind it
Net debt / EBITDA1.2 years
Cash vs. debt₹5.3B vs. ₹11.5B
Current ratio1.8×Short-term assets for each ₹1 of bills due within a year
Interest coverage2.5×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.
