We Think Siem Offshore (OB:SIOFF) Is Taking Some Risk With Its Debt (Simply Wall St)

Debt and other liabilities become risky for a business when it cannot easily fulfill those obligations, either with free cash flow or by raising capital at an ...

The advantage of this approach is that we take into account both the absolute quantum of debt (with net debt to EBITDA) and the actual interest expenses associated with that debt (with its interest cover ratio). Taking the abovementioned factors together we do think Siem Offshore's debt poses some risks to the business. Siem Offshore has a rather high debt to EBITDA ratio of 5.3 which suggests a meaningful debt load. For example, its conversion of EBIT to free cash flow and EBIT growth rate give us some confidence in its ability to manage its debt. Alternatively, email editorial-team (at) simplywallst.com. According to the last reported balance sheet, Siem Offshore had liabilities of US$114.4m due within 12 months, and liabilities of US$552.5m due beyond 12 months. So it's worth checking how much of that EBIT is backed by free cash flow. However, it does have US$88.9m in cash offsetting this, leading to net debt of about US$510.3m. What we care about is avoiding the permanent loss of capital.' It's only natural to consider a company's balance sheet when you examine how risky it is, since debt is often involved when a business collapses. Debt and other liabilities become risky for a business when it cannot easily fulfill those obligations, either with free cash flow or by raising capital at an attractive price. Of course, the upside of debt is that it often represents cheap capital, especially when it replaces dilution in a company with the ability to reinvest at high rates of return. But should shareholders be worried about its use of debt?

Should You Buy BW Epic Kosan Ltd. (OB:BWEK) For Its Upcoming ... (Simply Wall St)

BW Epic Kosan Ltd. ( OB:BWEK ) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next 3 days. Typically, the ex-dividend date is one...

Has BW Epic Kosan got what it takes to maintain its dividend payments? BW Epic Kosan paid out more than half (52%) of its earnings last year, which is a regular payout ratio for most companies. [OB:BWEK](https://simplywall.st/stocks/no/energy/ob-bwek/bw-epic-kosan-shares)) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next 3 days. Alternatively, email editorial-team (at) simplywallst.com. BW Epic Kosan's dividend payments per share have declined at 26% per year on average over the past two years, which is uninspiring. Simply Wall St has no position in any stocks mentioned. That's why it's comforting to see BW Epic Kosan's earnings have been skyrocketing, up 88% per annum for the past five years. Many investors will assess a company's dividend performance by evaluating how much the dividend payments have changed over time. Dividends are a major contributor to investment returns for long term holders, but only if the dividend continues to be paid. So we need to check whether the dividend payments are covered, and if earnings are growing. The ex-dividend date is of consequence because whenever a stock is bought or sold, the trade takes at least two business day to settle. Typically, the ex-dividend date is one business day before the record date which is the date on which a company determines the shareholders eligible to receive a dividend.

A Look At The Fair Value Of Borregaard ASA (OB:BRG) (Simply Wall St)

Key Insights Using the 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity, Borregaard fair value estimate is kr150 Borregaard's kr178...

Given that we are looking at Borregaard as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. The total value is the sum of cash flows for the next ten years plus the discounted terminal value, which results in the Total Equity Value, which in this case is kr15b. If a company grows at a different rate, or if its cost of equity or risk free rate changes sharply, the output can look very different. After calculating the present value of future cash flows in the initial 10-year period, we need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all future cash flows beyond the first stage. Compared to the current share price of kr178, the company appears around fair value at the time of writing. Although the valuation of a company is important, it shouldn't be the only metric you look at when researching a company. [OB:BRG](https://simplywall.st/stocks/no/materials/ob-brg/borregaard-shares)) as an investment opportunity by taking the expected future cash flows and discounting them to today's value. In the final step we divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. [Simply Wall St analysis model here](https://github.com/SimplyWallSt/Company-Analysis-Model/blob/master/MODEL.markdown#discounted-cash-flow-dcf) may be something of interest to you. Generally the first stage is higher growth, and the second stage is a lower growth phase. In the first stage we need to estimate the cash flows to the business over the next ten years. Our analysis will employ the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model.
