Apollo Senior Management Performance (%)

The company has Return on Asset of 2.25 % which means that on every $100 spent on assets, it made $2.25 of profit. This is way below average. In the same way, it shows a return on shareholders' equity (ROE) of (8.57) %, meaning that it generated no profit with money invested by stockholders. Apollo Senior's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Apollo Senior manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has 129.97 M in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 0.58, which is OK given its current industry classification. Apollo Senior Floating has a current ratio of 1.18, demonstrating that it is in a questionable position to pay out its financial commitments when the payables are due. Debt can assist Apollo Senior until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Apollo Senior'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 Apollo Senior Floating sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Apollo to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Apollo Senior's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1.
