TOTAL DEBT / EQUITY ratio remains 1 !!

Another good thing os this transaction with Maurel, is that  DEBT / EQUITY  ratio   remains  UNCHANGED  and hovers  at   1   (PRO  FORMA)! 

This is the analysis, according to  TID:

The stockholder equity  PRO FORMA is  ~$195 million  now.

The total  debt is also ~190 million now. Here is the debt analysis I got :

208 - 50 = 158 million

+  46  million (revolver)

TOTAL:  204  million.

TID will pay  ~$10  million  out of the  $23 million  CASH  it got from Maurel and Prom  and will bring it  down  to  ~$190 million  by the end of November.

and  TID  will  keep  the  remaining  ~10  million  and  it   will   have  CASH,  CASH EQUIVALENT and RESTRICTED  CASH   ~25  million. So  the  company  is  also  full of  cash.

Additionally,  this  $190 million  total  debt  can drop well  below   $150  million  when:

1)  Sale of the two heli-rigs  can  bring  ~$35  million.

2)  HRT  case  can bring   ~$20  million. This case will close by Q1  2014  THE  LATEST, according  to  TID.

These two  transactions  will bring the total debt down  to  $135  million  actually  which  results  in    DEBT /  annual  EBITDA  <  3x  which  is  the typical  ratio   for  all  the  publicly  traded   companies  of  the  sector  that  trade  with  PBV  from  1   to  3   currently !

TID  trades  with   PBV= 0.19  currently  which  is  ridiculously  low.

Veroni, I thought they already received 15 million of the 23. I had assumed that is what they paid the September payment with. Am I mistaken on that?

RH, you assumed right. However, we talk for different things.  September payment was included in the total debt which has dropped to $190 million (including the revolver)  as of TODAY,  after the  $50 million  debt  unload   and  $23  million  CASH  from Maurel.
