Air Canada Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0482 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0482 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of (4.1787) %, meaning that it generated substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Air Canada's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Air Canada manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. As of the 24th of April 2024, Return On Tangible Assets is likely to grow to 0.09. Also, Return On Capital Employed is likely to grow to 0.12. At this time, Air Canada's Other Current Assets are very stable compared to the past year. As of the 24th of April 2024, Return On Tangible Assets is likely to grow to 0.09, while Total Assets are likely to drop about 17 B.
The company has accumulated 359 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 6.7, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Air Canada has a current ratio of 1.13, suggesting that it is in a questionable position to pay out its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Air Canada until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Air Canada'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 Air Canada sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Air to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Air Canada's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
