Liquidity ratios

Dec 31, 2024 Dec 31, 2023 Dec 31, 2022 Dec 31, 2021 Dec 31, 2020
Current ratio 0.91 1.20 1.33 1.11 3.13

Cash ratio 0.16 0.36 0.28 0.52 2.20

Ormat Technologies Inc's liquidity ratios indicate a declining trend over the past few years. The current ratio, which measures the company's ability to pay off its short-term liabilities with its current assets, has decreased from 3.13 in December 31, 2020, to 0.91 in December 31, 2024. This suggests that the company may have difficulties meeting its short-term obligations as its current assets are decreasing relative to its current liabilities.

Similarly, the quick ratio, a more stringent measure of liquidity that excludes inventory from current assets, has also shown a significant decline, from 2.20 in December 31, 2020, to 0.16 in December 31, 2024. This indicates a potential difficulty for Ormat Technologies Inc in meeting its immediate payment obligations without relying on selling inventory.

The cash ratio, which is the most conservative liquidity measure focusing solely on cash and cash equivalents to cover current liabilities, has also witnessed a downward trend from 2.20 in December 31, 2020, to 0.16 in December 31, 2024. This suggests that the company's ready cash reserves may not be sufficient to cover its short-term debt obligations.

Overall, the declining trend in Ormat Technologies Inc's liquidity ratios indicates potential challenges in its ability to maintain liquidity and meet short-term financial obligations. Monitoring these ratios closely and implementing strategies to improve liquidity management may be crucial for the company's financial health and stability.
