Good morning E
Yes, they probably calculate as Moody's and include FCF to BP
I posted this before
Please read below from Moodys.
And my Excel file is basically spot on with 65 usd average 350 milj FCF to Enq and 100 milj cash flow to BP (vendor loan and profit share)
Moodys:
EnQuest has a provision of $418 million immediately post closing, representing the outstanding vendor loan and BP's entitlement under the cash flow sharing arrangement discounted to present date. Moody's will treat this provision as debt.
EnQuest should generate EBITDA and FCF of around $950 million and $450 million respectively in 2019. Moody's expects that this cash surplus will be used to reduce adjusted debt, including inter alia the amortisation of the secured term loan, BP vendor loan and BP's profit share. Overall, Moody's estimates that this will help bring leverage down towards 3.0x at year-end 2019.
