Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
First Financial Bankshares, Inc. carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 0.1x, which is very conservative (98% below the sector average of 4.3x). The company holds a net cash position — cash of $1.1B exceeds total debt of $22M, providing substantial financial flexibility for buybacks, acquisitions, or weathering downturns. Interest coverage of just 1.5x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.

Short-term solvency ratios and asset-utilisation metrics
The current ratio of 0.68x is below 1.0, meaning current liabilities exceed current assets — though the company's $1.1B cash position helps mitigate short-term liquidity concerns. The current ratio has improved from 0.46x to 0.68x over the past 3 years.
