Karoon Energy  (ASX:KAR) Cash Ratio Explanation

The cash ratio is more conservative than other liquidity ratios, such as Quick Ratio and Current Ratio, because it only considers a company's most liquid resources. The numerator of cash ratio only considers Cash, Cash Equivalents and marketable securities. Other current assets, such as accounts receivable and inventories, are not included. The rationale is that these assets may require time to be transformed into cash, and the amount of money received is also uncertain.

The cash ratio shows a company’s ability to pay all current liabilities immediately without selling or liquidating other assets. Generally speaking, a higher cash ratio suggests the company has a stronger ability to cover its short-term debt. However, a high cash ratio could also indicate inefficient management: the company is inefficient in making full utilization of cash to invest protential profitable project. It may also suggest that the company is not confident about future profitability.

In general, the higher the cash ratio, the better the company's liquidity position.

Address
6 Riverside Quay, Level 3, Suite 3.02, Southbank, Melbourne, VIC, AUS, 3006
Karoon produces around 8 million barrels of oil annually from its wholly owned Bauna field in Brazil's offshore Santos basin. The company acquired Bauna from Petrobras in 2020 and has been steadily increasing production via well interventions and new developments. Field life is approaching eight years based on proven and probable 2P reserves of 55 million barrels at end December 2022, though this excludes a further 82 million barrels in 2C contingent resources which which have potential to increase life further. We credit life of approximately 10 years, assuming partial conversion of 2C contingent resources into reserve category with drilling. There are also prospective untested targets within Karoon's permits which could potentially add further reserves in the medium term.
