An economy or business is said to be overleveraged when it is carrying too much debt when compared to its operating cash flows and equity. An overleveraged nation/company has difficulty in paying its interest and principal payments and is often unable to pay its operating expenses because of excessive costs due to its debt burden, which often leads to a downward financial spiral. This results in the company having to borrow more to stay in operation, and the problem gets worse. This spiral usually ends when a company restructures its debt or files for bankruptcy protection.
  • A company/economy is said to be overleveraged when it has too much debt, impeding its ability to make principal and interest payments and to cover operating expenses.
  • Being overleveraged typically leads to a downward financial spiral resulting in the need to borrow more.
  • Companies/economies typically restructure their debt or file for bankruptcy to resolve their overleveraged situation.
  • Leverage can be measured using the debt-to-equity ratio or the debt-to-total assets ratio.
  • Disadvantages of being overleveraged include constrained growth, loss of assets, limitations on further borrowing, and the inability to attract new investors.
