LUN’s strong financial health means that all of its upcoming liability payments are able to be met by its current cash and short-term investment holdings. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. LUN’s has produced operating cash levels of 1.74x total debt over the past year, which implies that LUN’s management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings.
