Post Holdings Long-Term Debt 2011-2025 | POST

Long-term debt is a financial obligation of a company or an individual with a repayment period exceeding one year from the date it arises. In accounting, such obligations are recorded under the "long-term liabilities" section.

Main characteristics:
  • Term exceeds 12 months
  • Can take the form of bonds, bank loans, credit lines, leasing, or loans from affiliated parties
  • Repaid through regular payments (interest and/or principal) over several years
Why long-term debt is needed:
  • Investment in development
    Allows financing of large projects — new factories, production lines, innovative developments — without diverting working capital.
  • Smoothing of cash flows
    A long-term payment schedule facilitates budget planning and reduces short-term financial risks.
  • Optimization of capital structure
    A combination of equity and borrowed capital can reduce the average cost of business financing.

A high level of long-term debt may indicate that a company heavily relies on borrowed funds. This increases risks, especially in conditions of rising interest rates or declining profits. However, a moderate level of debt can signal a sound growth strategy — for example, the company takes a loan to expand its business.

If a company uses borrowed funds effectively (e.g., invests in profitable projects), this can lead to profit growth and, consequently, an increase in stock value. An investor evaluates whether the investments made using debt are paying off.

It is important to monitor whether the company can regularly pay interest and repay the principal. Payment difficulties can lead to reduced dividends, a drop in stock value, and even bankruptcy.

Examples of long-term debt:
  • Mortgage loans for property purchases
  • Corporate bonds issued by a company to raise capital
  • Project financing — long-term loans for building or expanding production facilities
  • Leasing obligations for equipment or transport
