Granite's Evolution
១
Interest coverage ratio
The interest coverage ratio is calculated on a 12-month trailing basis using Adjusted EBITDA (a non-IFRS performance measure) divided by net interest expense. Granite believes the interest
coverage ratio is useful in evaluating the Trust's ability to meet its interest expense.
Indebtedness ratio
The indebtedness ratio is calculated as total debt (a non-IFRS performance measure) divided by Adjusted EBITDA (a non-IFRS performance measure) and Granite believes it is useful in evaluating
the Trust's ability to repay outstanding debt using its operating cash flows.
Leverage and net leverage ratios
The leverage ratio is calculated as the carrying value of total debt (a non-IFRS performance measure) divided by the fair value of investment properties (excluding assets held for sale) while the
net leverage ratio subtracts cash and cash equivalents from total debt. The leverage ratio and net leverage ratio are supplemental measures that Granite believes are useful in evaluating the
Trust's degree of financial leverage, borrowing capacity and the relative strength of its balance sheet.
Unencumbered asset coverage ratio
The unencumbered asset coverage ratio is calculated as the carrying value of investment properties (excluding assets held for sale) that are not encumbered by secured debt divided by the
carrying value of total unsecured debt and is a supplemental measure that Granite believes is useful in evaluating the Trust's degree of asset coverage provided by its unencumbered investment
properties to total unsecured debt.
