Solvency ratios provide insights into a company's ability to meet its financial obligations in the long term. Looking at RB Global Inc.'s solvency ratios over the past five years, we observe the following trends:

1. Debt-to-assets ratio: This ratio indicates the proportion of a company's assets financed by debt. RB Global Inc. has maintained a relatively stable debt-to-assets ratio, ranging from 0.20 to 0.48 over the period under consideration. The decrease from 2021 to 2022 followed by a slight increase in 2023 suggests that the company has managed its debt in relation to its total assets, showing improvement in 2022 and a minor setback in 2023.

2. Debt-to-capital ratio: This ratio measures the percentage of a company's capital structure that is financed by debt. RB Global Inc. has shown a similar pattern in its debt-to-capital ratio, with fluctuations between 0.31 and 0.62. The decrease in 2022 followed by an increase in 2023 indicates a mix of equity and debt financing strategies employed by the company for capital structure management.

3. Debt-to-equity ratio: The debt-to-equity ratio reflects the proportion of debt and equity in a company's capital structure. RB Global Inc. has experienced significant changes in this ratio, ranging from 0.45 to 1.62 over the past five years. The spike in 2021 followed by a decline in 2022 and a subsequent increase in 2023 points to fluctuations in the company's leverage and financial risk profile during this period.

4. Financial leverage ratio: This ratio measures the extent to which a company is using debt to finance its operations. RB Global Inc. has maintained its financial leverage ratio between 2.22 and 3.36. The variations in this ratio suggest changes in the company's reliance on debt to generate returns for shareholders.

Overall, RB Global Inc.'s solvency ratios demonstrate a mix of stability and variability in its capital structure and debt management practices over the past five years. The company appears to have adjusted its debt levels and financing strategies to optimize its solvency position in response to changing market conditions and operational requirements. Further analysis and monitoring of these ratios are necessary to evaluate the company's long-term financial health and risk exposure.


Coverage ratios

Dec 31, 2023 Dec 31, 2022 Dec 31, 2021 Dec 31, 2020 Dec 31, 2019
Interest coverage 2.32 8.01 6.55 7.62 5.62

RB Global Inc.'s interest coverage ratio has fluctuated over the past five years, indicating variations in its ability to cover interest payments with its operating income. In 2023, the interest coverage ratio decreased to 2.32 from 8.01 in 2022, suggesting a potential decline in the company's ability to meet its interest obligations. However, it is important to note that a value above 1 indicates the company can cover its interest expenses, albeit with decreasing margins. The significant reduction in the ratio in 2023 compared to prior years may raise concerns about the company's financial health and its ability to service its debt obligations. Further analysis of the company's financial performance and debt structure is recommended to understand the underlying reasons for this trend and assess the company's overall financial stability.
