2.2 Solvency

  • LMST has a debt to FCF ratio of 1.88. This is a very positive value and a sign of high solvency as it would only need 1.88 years to pay back of all of its debts.
  • LMST has a Debt to FCF ratio of 1.88. This is comparable to the rest of the industry: LMST outperforms 60.00% of its industry peers.
  • A Debt/Equity ratio of 0.34 indicates that LMST is not too dependend on debt financing.
  • With a Debt to Equity ratio value of 0.34, LMST is not doing good in the industry: 73.95% of the companies in the same industry are doing better.
  • Although LMST does not score too well on debt/equity it has very limited outstanding debt, which is well covered by the FCF. We will not put too much weight on the debt/equity number as it may be because of low equity, which could be a consequence of a share buyback program for instance. This needs to be investigated.
