Debt Servicing Capacity

  Leverage Ratio                                                0 - 3 times             1.20           1.07            0.98      0.98      0.99        0.91           0.84          0.77        0.69      0.61


    The leverage ratio is an indicator of a council’s ability to repay its existing debt. It measures the relative size of
    the council’s debt to its operating performance.

    A higher leverage ratio indicates an increasingly limited capacity to support additional borrowings due to already                                    Book value of Debt
    high debt levels and/or decreasing operational performance, while a lower ratio indicates the opposite.

  Net Liabilities Ratio                                                            (3.2%)          6.2%            7.3%       8.1%      9.1%       7.4%           7.8%          8.4%       6.8%        6.5%

    The Net Liabilities Ratio outlines the level that net debt can be serviced by operating revenues.                                             Total Liabilities less Current Assets

    A ratio below zero implies that liabilities are less than cash (and other current assets) and there is adequate                                    Total Operating Revenue
    borrowing capacity available if needed.
