Roche Holding's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Roche Holding manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Roche Holding AG has accumulated 16.08 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 1.0, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Roche Holding AG has a current ratio of 1.09, suggesting that it may have difficulties to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Roche Holding until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Roche Holding'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 Roche Holding AG sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Roche to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Roche Holding's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
