Virgin Australia Management Efficiency
The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (0.1) % which means that it has lost $0.1 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of (36.81) %, meaning that it generated substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Virgin Australia's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Virgin Australia manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.The company has accumulated 1.9 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 489.3, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Virgin Australia Holdings has a current ratio of 0.53, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Virgin Australia until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Virgin Australia's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Virgin Australia Holdings sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Virgin to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Virgin Australia's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
