    • Financial leverage is the ratio financial net debt including leases recorded under IFRS 16 to LTM (Last Twelve Months) Adjusted EBITDA. As per our credit documentation, the financial leverage retained for the covenant is calculated before IFRS16 application. The covenant attached to our bank loans is tested at the end of each semester. It has to be below 3.5x at end of June and below 3.0X at end December. Tarkett obtained from its banking partners a covenant holiday for 2020. The covenant is also attached to the Schuldschein private placements. It is only is tested once a year and has to be below 3.0x at end December.
    • Net financial debt is defined as the sum of interest bearing loans and borrowings minus cash and cash equivalents. Interest bearing loans and borrowings refer to any obligation for the repayment of funds received or raised that are subject to repayment terms and interest charges. They also include leases recorded under IFRS 16 since the application of the new accounting norm.
