How Does Average Current Maturity Work?

The long-term debts or liabilities of a company that are coming due within the next 12 months are called the average annual current maturities. It calculates the terms of the current year and divides it by the amount of debt or liabilities that a company has. It is an annual indicator of a company's debt obligations. The annual average maturity date reflects the current repayment date, the total time a company has before the debt repayment is completed. It can also be calculated as the average time left for a company to repay all its debt obligations, it reflects the average expiration date of the debt.

Example of Average Annual Current Maturities

Most companies have long-term debts or fixed liabilities such as bonds, mortgage loans, machinery and automobile loans and others. A portion of the long-term debt that is coming due within the next 12 months (one year) is the current maturity date. There are some parts of fixed liabilities that are required to be repaid within a year, these are called current liabilities. When companies use compensated loans or refinance their debts, they are trying to reduce the current liabilities they will have for the year. Current liabilities are calculated for long-term debts that are scheduled to be repaid within a period of 12 months.
