Is Sims financially healthy?
Not really
Sims earns only 1.6 times its interest bill, which leaves little room.
The numbers behind it
Net debt / EBITDA1.8 years
Cash vs. debtA$181M vs. A$788M
Current ratio1.7×Short-term assets for each A$1 of bills due within a year
Interest coverage1.6×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.
