Cash runway and the debt wall

Cash & investments$72.8M
Debt$235M
Net debt$163M
Due within a year$39.7M

Kimball Electronics's operations bring cash in ($44.9M over twelve months), and it spends more than that on capital projects: a gap of $5.1M funded from its $72.8M of cash and investments and from borrowing ($235M of debt, $39.7M due within a year). That is a choice to invest, not a cash runway running down.
