Rex Energy Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (20.9363) % which means that it has lost $20.9363 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on stockholder's equity (ROE) of (0.0245) %, meaning that it created substantial loss on money invested by shareholders. Rex Energy's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Rex Energy manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 842.48 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 3.27, implying the company greatly relies on financing operations through barrowing. Rex Energy has a current ratio of 0.06, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Rex Energy until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Rex Energy'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 Rex Energy sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Rex to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Rex Energy's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
