TransUnion has a debt-laden balance sheet. Total debt at the end of second-quarter 2020 was $3.63 billion, flat sequentially. The total debt-to-total capital ratio of 0.62 is higher than the industry’s 0.55 and the previous quarter’s 0.61. An increase in debt-to-capitalization ratio indicates higher risk of insolvency in challenging times.
Further, the company’s cash and cash equivalent of $432 million at the end of the second quarter was well below this debt level, underscoring that the company doesn’t have enough cash to meet this debt burden. However, the cash level can meet the short-term debt of $56 million.
