According to the Catalent’s most recent balance sheet as reported on August 31, 2020, total debt is at $3.02 billion, with $2.95 billion in long-term debt and $72.90 million in current debt. Adjusting for $953.20 million in cash-equivalents, the company has a net debt of $2.06 billion.

Shareholders look at the debt-ratio to understand how much financial leverage a company has. Catalent has $7.78 billion in total assets, therefore making the debt-ratio 0.39. As a rule of thumb, a debt-ratio more than one indicates that a considerable portion of debt is funded by assets. A higher debt-ratio can also imply that the company might be putting itself at risk for default, if interest rates were to increase. However, debt-ratios vary widely across different industries. A debt ratio of 35% might be higher for one industry and normal for another.

Why Shareholders Look At Debt?

Besides equity, debt is an important factor in the capital structure of a company, and contributes to its growth. Due to its lower financing cost compared to equity, it becomes an attractive option for executives trying to raise capital.

Interest-payment obligations can impact the cash-flow of the company. Having financial leverage also allows companies to use additional capital for business operations, allowing equity owners to retain excess profit, generated by the debt capital.
