Headwaters Management Efficiency

Headwaters' management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Headwaters manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company reports 131.52 M of total liabilities with total debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 2.49, which may imply that the company relies heavily on debt financing. Headwaters has a current ratio of 2.03, indicating that it is in good position to pay out its debt commitments in time. Debt can assist Headwaters until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Headwaters' 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 Headwaters sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Headwaters to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Headwaters' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
