Is Warner Bros. Discovery financially healthy?
Not really
Warner Bros. Discovery earns only 1.8 times its interest bill, which leaves little room.
The numbers behind it
Net debt / EBITDA1.3 years
Cash vs. debt$4.6B vs. $32.6B
Current ratio1.1×Short-term assets for each $1 of bills due within a year
Interest coverage1.8×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.
