Summary
Financial leverage is using debt to boost returns. This case study of Vishal Retail explores how leverage can lead to financial distress. Students learn how companies use debt, and the risks involved.
Capital structure and leverage
Capital structure is the mix of equity and debt. Debt can increase returns but also risks. Leverage magnifies earnings when sales rise but can be dangerous when sales fall.

Vishal Retail grew rapidly in the 2000s. It went public in 2007 but faced trouble raising equity later. Short-term debt was used instead. This led to financial distress.
Corporate debt restructuring
Corporate debt restructuring reorganizes a company's debts. This can involve reducing debt burdens. It helps a company avoid bankruptcy. Vishal Retail's lenders and promoters had strategies to restructure its debt.
Potential partners and future plans
TPG Capital and Future Group were considered as partners. TPG wanted lenders to infuse more loans. Future Group had various retail formats and a large presence in India.
