Tangible Net Worth =

  • :

    Refers to the equity attributable to the parent company's shareholders after deducting non-liquid or uncertain assets such as intangible assets, development expenses, goodwill, long-term deferred expenses and deferred income tax assets. It better reflects the equity capital that can actually be used for debt repayment by the company, eliminating factors that may overestimate the actual value of the company.

  • :

  • :

    Refers to the expenses that have already occurred but the amortization period exceeds one year, such as renovation expenses. Its value may decrease over time.

  • :

    It refers to the assets that can be used to offset future income tax due to deductible temporary differences, and its value depends on the future profitability of the company.

factor.explanation

The tangible net worth debt ratio is an important financial leverage indicator used to assess a company's financial risk and debt repayment ability. The higher the ratio, the more the company uses debt financing and the greater the financial risk. In addition, a higher tangible net worth debt ratio may also indicate that the company's future debt repayment ability is weaker and it may be more likely to encounter operating difficulties under financial pressure. On the contrary, a lower ratio indicates that the company has a sound financial structure and strong debt repayment ability. In industry comparisons, this indicator can assist in assessing the company's financial health and risk level. In quantitative investment, this factor is often used for risk control and value mining.
