GCR considers FMN to be moderately geared. Despite the spike in gross debt by N26.5bn to c.N150bn at FY21, net debt to EBITDA moderated to 1.3x (FY20: 1.8x) on the back of higher quantum of earnings and substantial cash holding. GCR anticipates that debt will remain at a moderate level in FY22-23, with further repayments and higher earnings expected to drive further moderation in the leverage metrics to around 90%-120% band. Net interest coverage also strengthened to 6x in FY21 (review average: 3.1x) on the back of improved earnings and a better priced debt book and is expected to be sustained at the 4x-5x range in the medium term
