Del Taco Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 2.53 % which means that it generated a profit of $2.53 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of 9.43 %, meaning that it created $9.43 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Del Taco's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Del Taco manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 373.14 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 1.73, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Del Taco Restaurants has a current ratio of 0.19, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Del Taco until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Del Taco'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 Del Taco Restaurants sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Del to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Del Taco's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
