How important is Altisource Portfolio's Liquidity

Altisource Portfolio financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Altisource Portfolio Solutions ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Altisource Portfolio financial leverage is typically calculated by taking the company's all interest-bearing debt and dividing it by total capital. So the higher the debt-to-capital ratio (i.e., financial leverage), the riskier the company. Financial leverage can amplify the potential profits to Altisource Portfolio's owners, but it also increases the potential losses and risk of financial distress, including bankruptcy, if the firm cannot cover its debt costs. The degree of Altisource Portfolio's financial leverage can be measured in several ways, including by ratios such as the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity), equity multiplier (total assets / total equity), or the debt ratio (total debt / total assets).
