Capital management

Galenica's capital is managed and monitored at Group level. The objective of capital management at Galenica is to ensure the continuity of operations, increase enterprise value on a sustainable basis, provide an adequate return to investors, ­provide the financial resources to enable investments in areas that deliver future benefits for patients and customers and further returns to investors.

Galenica defines the capital that it manages as invested interest-bearing liabilities and equity. Galenica uses a system of financial control based on various key performance indicators. Capital is monitored based on the gearing, for example, which expresses net debt as a percentage of shareholders' equity including non-controlling interests and is communicated regularly to management as part of internal reporting. The debt coverage expresses net debt as a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA). Debt coverage ratio provide information about the creditworthiness of the Group. Galenica has no covenants requiring a minimum level of debt coverage.

Total assets and shareholders' equity are adjusted for the cumulative effects of the IAS 19 and IFRS 16 adjustments and net debt is adjusted for lease liabilities.
