Nielsen Holdings: Debt Overview
- Over the past three months, shares of Nielsen Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NLSN) rose by 5.24%. Before having a look at the importance of debt, let's look at how much debt Nielsen Holdings has.Nielsen Holdings's Debt Based on Nielsen Holdings's balance sheet as of April 30, 2020, long-term debt is at $7.36 billion and current debt is at $1.05 billion, amounting to $8.41 billion in total debt. Adjusted for $359.00 million in cash-equivalents, the company's net debt is at $8.05 billion.To understand the degree of financial leverage a company has, shareholders look at the debt ratio. Considering Nielsen Holdings's $14.19 billion in total assets, the debt-ratio is at 0.59. As a rule of thumb, a debt-ratio more than 1 indicates that a considerable portion of debt is funded by assets. A higher debt-ratio can also imply that the company might be putting itself at risk for default, if interest rates were to increase. However, debt-ratios vary widely across different industries. For example, a debt ratio of 40% might be higher for one industry, whereas normal for another.Why Debt Is Important Debt is an important factor in the capital structure of a company, and can help it attain growth. Debt usually has a relatively lower financing cost than equity, which makes it an attractive option for executives.Interest-payment obligations can impact the cash-flow of the company. Having financial leverage also allows companies to use additional capital for business operations, allowing equity owners to retain excess profit, generated by the debt capital.See more from Benzinga * Recap: Nielsen Holdings Q2 Earnings(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.

And if you wondered what it is that seems to befuddle Mark Zuckerberg, when he trades in his hoodie for a nice suit and goes before Congressional panelists, it's that consumers and politicians are becoming less and less tolerant of the lack of transparency at internet companies over terms of use and privacy policies.Streamlytics solved that by enabling its users to opt-in to share their streaming data across platforms, then compensating them for sharing their data. Because it tracks the data by streaming account, rather than the device used to consume the content, the platform accurately pulls data directly from the source.Any personal identifying information is stripped out in the process, which enables Streamlytics to sell media consumption data in aggregate. Ultimately, consumers retain control because they can download all of their data from the service and use it however, and with whomever, they want. Potential Users from Madison Avenue to HollywoodThe potential customers span from those you'd expect, including brand marketers who want to better understand their audiences - not only what they're watching and listening to, but how they are doing it. The upshot is that the marketer can optimize their spending with big data tools that have a wider, holistic take on audience consumption.Those customers present a total addressable market of more than $260 billion annually, according to Streamlytics' own analysis. However, add on the potential of $13 trillion from artificial intelligence demand, and even addressing 1% of that potential is significant.Enterprise customers pay as much as $120,000 a year for a subscription to data from Streamlytics. On the other end of the transaction, consumers who've enabled their data to feed into the analysis can track their earnings on their smartphones. That "partnership" with consumers is a defining difference that leads to better quality datasets - broader and more accurate - for those high-paying enterprise customers.Streamlytics describes the startup as "obsessed with analyzing data to uncover unique insights" and with its user personas, those insights do seem unique. Part of that obsession shows in a proprietary data standard - Universal Data Interchange Format - which it hopes will become the future of data transfers between individuals, the products/platforms that they use and business organizations. Think of UDIF much as CSV or PDF files have become standard transfer wrappers. How to Invest in StreamlyticsStreamlytics is the brainchild of founder and CEO Angela Benton. With her background, it's no surprise that the company's first consumer app, clture, released in April, helps minority consumers own and monetize their data.Before founding the company in 2018, she started NewME, an accelerator that helped minority tech entrepreneurs raise more than $47 million in VC funding. She and her experienced team have a string of relevant successes behind them.The company's own funding got a bump in September 2019 when actress Issa Rae took a minority stake.When it listed on StartEngine, the $20 million-valuation company set out to raise $1.07 million in a little under three months. It was quickly oversubscribed by more than 2,400 investors, leading to the creation of a waiting list on the crowdfunding platform, with 60 days left in the offer period.Robert Lakin is a veteran financial writer and editor, following fintech, agtech and property tech startups.

RPT-INSIGHT-Piglets aborted, chickens gassed as pandemic slams meat sector
- With the pandemic hobbling the
meat-packing industry, Iowa farmer Al Van Beek had nowhere to
ship his full-grown pigs to make room for the 7,500 piglets he
expected from his breeding operation. The crisis forced a
decision that still troubles him: He ordered his employees to
give injections to the pregnant sows, one by one, that would
cause them to abort their baby pigs.
Van Beek and other farmers say they have no choice but to
cull livestock as they run short on space to house their animals
or money to feed them, or both. The world's biggest meat
companies - including Smithfield Foods Inc , Cargill
Inc , JBS USA and Tyson Foods Inc -
have halted operations at about 20 slaughterhouses and
processing plants in North America since April as workers fall
ill, stoking global fears of a meat shortage.
Van Beek's piglets are victims of a sprawling food-industry
crisis that began with the mass closure of restaurants -
upending that sector's supply chain, overwhelming storage and
forcing farmers and processors to destroy everything from milk
to salad greens to animals. Processors geared up to serve the
food-service industry can’t immediately switch to supplying
grocery stores.
Millions of pigs, chickens and cattle will be euthanized
because of slaughterhouse closures, limiting supplies at
grocers, said John Tyson, chairman of top U.S. meat supplier
Tyson Foods.
Pork has been hit especially hard, with daily production cut
by about a third. Unlike cattle, which can be housed outside on
pasture, U.S. hogs are fattened up for slaughter inside
temperature-controlled buildings. If they are housed too long,
they can get too big and injure themselves. The barns need to be
emptied out by sending adult hogs to slaughter before the
arrival of new piglets from sows that were impregnated just
before the pandemic.
"We have nowhere to go with the pigs," said Van Beek, who
lamented the waste of so much meat. "What are we going to do?"
In Minnesota, farmers Kerry and Barb Mergen felt their
hearts pound when a crew from Daybreak Foods Inc arrived with
carts and tanks of carbon dioxide to euthanize their 61,000
egg-laying hens earlier this month.
Daybreak Foods, based in Lake Mills, Wisconsin, supplies
liquid eggs to restaurants and food-service companies. The
company, which owns the birds, pays contract farmers like the
Mergens to feed and care for them. Drivers normally load the
eggs onto trucks and haul them to a plant in Big Lake,
Minnesota, which uses them to make liquid eggs for restaurants
and ready-to-serve dishes for food-service companies. But the
plant’s operator, Cargill Inc, said it idled the facility
because the pandemic reduced demand.
Daybreak Foods, which has about 14.5 million hens with
contractor-run or company-owned farms in the Midwest, is trying
to switch gears and ship eggs to grocery stores, said Chief
Executive Officer William Rehm. But egg cartons are in shortage
nationwide and the company now must grade each egg for size, he
said.
Rehm declined to say how much of the company's flock has
been euthanized.
"We're trying to balance our supply with our customers'
needs, and still keep everyone safe - including all of our
people and all our hens," Rehm said.
DUMPING HOGS IN A LANDFILL
In Iowa, farmer Dean Meyer said he is part of a group of
about nine producers who are euthanizing the smallest 5% of
their newly born pigs, or about 125 piglets a week. They will
continue euthanizing animals until disruptions ease, and could
increase the number of pigs killed each week, he said. The small
bodies are composted and will become fertilizer. Meyer's group
is also killing mother hogs, or sows, to reduce their numbers,
he said.
"Packers are backed up every day, more and more," said
Meyer.
As the United States faces a possible food shortage, and
supermarkets and food banks are struggling to meet demand, the
forced slaughters are becoming more widespread across the
country, according to agricultural economists, farm trade groups
and federal lawmakers who are hearing from farmer constituents.
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, along with both U.S. senators
from a state that provides a third of the nation's pork, sent a
letter to the Trump administration pleading for financial help
and assistance with culling animals and properly disposing of
their carcasses.
"There are 700,000 pigs across the nation that cannot be
processed each week and must be humanely euthanized," said the
April 27 letter.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said late Friday
it is establishing a National Incident Coordination Center to
help farmers find markets for their livestock, or euthanize and
dispose of animals if necessary.
Some producers who breed livestock and sell baby pigs to
farmers are now giving them away for free, farmers said,
translating to a loss about $38 on each piglet, according to
commodity firm Kerns & Associates.
Farmers in neighboring Canada are also killing animals they
can't sell or afford to feed. The value of Canadian isoweans -
baby pigs – has fallen to zero because of U.S. processing plant
disruptions, said Rick Bergmann, a Manitoba hog farmer and chair
of the Canadian Pork Council. In Quebec alone, a backlog of
92,000 pigs waits for slaughter, said Quebec hog producer Rene
Roy, an executive with the pork council.
A hog farm on Prince Edward Island in Canada euthanized
270-pound hogs that were ready for slaughter because there was
no place to process them, Bergmann said. The animals were dumped
in a landfill.
DEATH THREATS
The latest economic disaster to befall the farm sector comes
after years of extreme weather, sagging commodity prices and the
Trump administration's trade war with China and other key export
markets. But it's more than lost income. The pandemic barreling
through farm towns has mired rural communities in despair, a
potent mix of shame and grief.
Farmers take pride in the fact that their crops and animals
are meant to feed people, especially in a crisis that has idled
millions of workers and forced many to rely on food banks. Now,
they’re destroying crops and killing animals for no purpose.
Farmers flinch when talking about killing off animals early
or plowing crops into the ground, for fear of public wrath. Two
Wisconsin dairy farmers, forced to dump milk by their buyers,
told Reuters they recently received anonymous death threats.
"They say, 'How dare you throw away food when so many people
are hungry?'," said one farmer, speaking on condition of
anonymity. "They don't know how farming works. This makes me
sick, too."
Even as livestock and crop prices plummet, prices for meat
and eggs at grocery stores are up. The average retail price of
eggs was up nearly 40% for the week ended April 18, compared to
a year earlier, according to Nielsen data. Average retail fresh
chicken prices were up 5.4%, while beef was up 5.8% and pork up
6.6%.
On Van Beek's farm in Rock Valley, Iowa, one hog broke a leg
because it grew too heavy while waiting to be slaughtered. He
has delivered pigs to facilities that are still operating, but
they are too full to take all of his animals.
Van Beek paid $2,000 to truck pigs about seven hours to a
Smithfield plant in Illinois, more than quadruple the usual cost
to haul them to a Sioux Falls, South Dakota, slaughterhouse that
the company has closed indefinitely. He said Smithfield is
supposed to pay the extra transportation costs under his
contract. But the company is refusing to do so, claiming "force
majeure" – that an extraordinary and unforeseeable event
prevents it from fulfilling its agreement.
Smithfield, the world’s largest pork processor, declined to
comment on whether it has refused to make contracted payments.
It said the company is working with suppliers "to navigate these
challenging and unprecedented times."
Hog farmers nationwide will lose an estimated $5 billion, or
$37 per head, for the rest of the year due to pandemic
disruptions, according to the industry group National Pork
Producers Council.
A recently announced $19 billion U.S. government coronavirus
aid package for farmers will not pay for livestock that are
culled, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation, the
nation's largest farmer trade group. The USDA said in a
statement the payment program is still being developed and the
agency has received more requests for assistance than it has
money to handle.
Minnesota farmer Mike Patterson started feeding his pigs
more soybean hulls – which fill animals' stomachs but offer
negligible nutritional value – to keep them from getting too
large for their barns. He's considering euthanizing them because
he cannot find enough buyers after Smithfield indefinitely shut
its massive Sioux Falls plant.
"They have to be housed humanely," Patterson said. "If
there's not enough room, we have to have less hogs somehow. One
way or another, we've got to have less hogs."
