Direct Line Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0251 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0251 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 0.1027 %, meaning that it generated $0.1027 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Direct Line's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Direct Line manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Direct Line Insurance has accumulated 513.6 M in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.22, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Direct Line Insurance has a current ratio of 0.52, 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 Direct Line until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Direct Line'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 Direct Line Insurance sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Direct to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Direct Line's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
