Questions, answered.

What does net debt / EBITDA mean?
How many years of operating earnings it would take to pay off the company's net debt.
How do you interpret net debt / EBITDA?
Lower is safer; lenders often covenant around 3–4×. A negative value means net cash (more cash than debt), a position of strength. Spikes can reflect a temporary EBITDA dip rather than new borrowing.
How does net debt / EBITDA compare across companies?
A standard leverage yardstick across non-financial sectors; covenant thresholds vary by industry cash-flow stability.
