Cash vs. debt£37M vs. £293M
Current ratio0.6×Short-term assets for each £1 of bills due within a year
Interest coverage8.6×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.
