GLP Financial Policy

GLP’s Financial Policy (“Policy”) is approved by the GLP Board of Directors and reviewed by the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis.

GLP’s strategy is underpinned by a robust balance sheet, strong liquidity and modest leverage so key financial performance indicators are frequently reviewed and updated depending on business requirements and/or economic conditions to meet this strategy.

This Policy governs how GLP manages its financial risks such as interest rate risk, debt maturity profile, foreign exchange risk and liquidity risk. Our financial performance is benchmarked against set targets on a regular basis as set out in the financial risk management framework.

GLP has incorporated three key financial metrics into the Board approved Policy. These triggers are measured and tracked quarterly with results communicated back to the Board.

Financial Metrics Target Definitions
Net Debt / Core Underlying EBITDA Less than 9x Net Debt / Core Underlying EBITDA, which is defined as Net Debt1 divided by Core Underlying EBITDA2
Interest Coverage ratio More than 2.5x Interest Coverage ratio, which is defined as Core Underlying EBITDA2 divided by Cash Interest3
Net Leverage ratio Less than 45% Net Leverage ratio, which is defined Net Debt1 divided by Total Assets less Cash

Notes:

  1. Net Debt is defined as Current and Non-current Loans and borrowings less Cash and cash equivalents
  2. Core Underlying EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used to measure our operating performance. The definitions and calculations are disclosed in our MD&A.
  3. Cash Interest is defined as Interest paid per Cash flows from financing activities
