Gross Debt and Net Interest-Bearing Debt are measures that show the overall debt situation. Net debt is calculated by netting the value of a company's liabilities and debts with its cash and other similar short-term financial assets.

Net debt to EBITDA (leverage ratio) is a key financial measure that is used by management to assess the borrowing capacity of a company. The ratio shows how many years it would take for a company to pay back its debt, if net debt and EBITDA are held constant. The ratio is one of the debt covenants of the company. The ratio is calculated as net debt (total principal debt outstanding less unrestricted cash) divided by EBITDA excluding certain special items (as defined in loan agreements) for the last twelve month period. If a company has more cash than debt, the ratio can be negative.
| NOK million | 1Q 2019 | 1Q 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Gross interest bearing debt | 2,889 | 3,241 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | (1,872) | (2,607) |
| Net debt | 1,017 | 633 |
| EBITDA last twelve months | 1,879 | 1,589 |

| Adjusted EBITDA last twelve months | 1,914 | 1,684 |
| Net debt to EBITDA (leverage ratio) | 0.53 | 0.38 |

General
Order Intake Measures
Order intake, order backlog and book-to-bill ratios are presented as alternative performance measures, as they are indicators of the company's revenues and operations in the future.
Order intake includes new signed contracts in the period in addition to expansion of existing contracts. For construction contracts, the order intake is based on the signed contract value excluding potential options and change orders. For service contracts, the order intake is based on the estimated value of firm periods in the contracts.
Order backlog represents the estimated value of remaining work on signed contracts (as a reminder, the backlog does not include part of the Services business, which is short cycled or book-and-turn in nature, or potential growth or options on existing contracts).
Book-to-bill ratio is calculated as order intake divided by revenue in the period. A book-to-bill ratio higher than 1 means that the company has secured more contracts in the period than what has been executed in the same period.

IFRS 16 Leasing
Background
The new IFRS 16 Leasing standard is effective from January 1, 2019. The new leasing standard has significantly changed how the company accounts for its lease contracts for land, buildings and machines previously accounted for as operating leases. An on-balance sheet model similar to the financial leases in IAS 17 has been applied to all contracts that contain a lease. Sub-leases covering the major part of the period in the head-lease are classified as financial. According to the company's loan agreements, new accounting principles will not impact the current debt covenants. The company has implement the lease standard using a modified retrospective method with cumulative impact recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Comparative figures are not restated. More information about transition effects and accounting principles for IFRS 16 is available in note 32 in the 2018 Annual Report available at https://akersolutions.com/annual-reports
