Kesko Oyj's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Kesko Oyj manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Kesko Oyj has accumulated 206.4 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 154.5, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Kesko Oyj has a current ratio of 0.93, 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 Kesko Oyj until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Kesko Oyj'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 Kesko Oyj sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Kesko to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Kesko Oyj's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
