UCB SA Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0468 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0468 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 0.1069 %, meaning that it generated $0.1069 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. UCB SA's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well UCB SA manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has accumulated 1.97 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.34, which is about average as compared to similar companies. UCB SA ADR has a current ratio of 1.1, suggesting that it may not have the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist UCB SA until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, UCB SA'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 UCB SA ADR sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for UCB to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about UCB SA's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
