Ann: Newcrest commences repurchase of its outstanding 2022 bonds, page-4

I think my post was very sarcastic already. My few companies ran without debt too. COVID non COVID is just the matter of making more or less money.
It shows how sound the financials of NCM is. They can never ever ever ever file for bankruptcy if so little microscopic debt. Debt crisis is always a "thing" that will ruin a company. Because the banksters can grab hold of the balls and squeeze the company should they see fit.
