Based on NextEra Energy’s financial statement as of July 24, 2020, long-term debt is at $42.67 billion and current debt is at $4.88 billion, amounting to $47.55 billion in total debt. Adjusted for $1.01 billion in cash-equivalents, the company's net debt is at $46.54 billion.
To understand the degree of financial leverage a company has, shareholders look at the debt ratio. Considering NextEra Energy’s $121.96 billion in total assets, the debt-ratio is at 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 Debt Is Important
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.
However, due to interest-payment obligations, cash-flow of a company can be impacted. 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.
