Dean Foods Management Efficiency

Dean Foods' management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Dean Foods manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company reports 1.3 B of total liabilities with total debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 665.9, which implies that the company may not be able to produce enough cash to satisfy its debt commitments. Dean Foods has a current ratio of 1.13, indicating that it is not liquid enough and may have problems paying out its debt commitments in time. Debt can assist Dean Foods until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Dean Foods' 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 Dean Foods sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Dean to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Dean Foods' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
