Is the last info we have on debt from the interim results?
£1660m is Everest sized considering market cap now £360m!
Deleveraging
At 31 December 2022 net debt was £1,728m, with leverage of 5.6x. We are already making good progress with our deleveraging plan, with leverage having reduced to 5.1x as at the end of June. This is driven by a combination of £13m growth in pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, together with a £68m reduction in net debt, to £1,660m at 30 June 2023. The reduction in net debt is primarily driven by favourable foreign exchange rate movements on the debt principle, but H1-23 also saw the Group generate £11m cash inflow (excluding customer balances) despite £23m of exceptional costs paid out in the Period.
