Net Debt — What Is It?
A company's debt minus its cash holdings.
Explanation
A company with 500 million PLN in debt and 450 million PLN in cash is in a completely different situation than one with the same debt and no cash. Net debt shows the actual burden.
It is most often presented as a ratio to EBITDA. A ratio above 3–4 means the company is highly leveraged and vulnerable to interest rate increases or a weaker quarter.
Example
Debt 800 million PLN, cash 200 million PLN, EBITDA 200 million PLN. Net debt is 600 million PLN, which is three times EBITDA.
