Petra Diamonds' management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Petra Diamonds manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has accumulated 946.1 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 7.82, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Petra Diamonds has a current ratio of 0.31, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Petra Diamonds until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Petra Diamonds' 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 Petra Diamonds sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Petra to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Petra Diamonds' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
