Why did the score change?
FY2024A (same capital structure) → FY2025A: 43.6 → 37.7
- ▼ Net leverage increased from 5.5x to 6.4x (-2.6 pts, negative)
- ▼ Interest coverage fell from 2.1x to 1.7x (-1.4 pts, negative)
- • Liquidity ratio broadly stable at 2.1x
- ▼ FCF / debt fell from 2.2% to -0.4% (-1.9 pts, negative)
- • Near-term maturity share unchanged at 100%
- • Margin volatility unchanged at 1.5 pts
- • Revenue volatility unchanged at 3.3 pts
- • Asset coverage unchanged at 0.83x
- • Industry risk factor unchanged at 0.35
Each factor earns its weight linearly between a “worst” (0 pts) and “best” (full pts) threshold; weights and thresholds live in src/lib/config.ts. “Proj.” columns re-score the first projected period of each scenario. Risk bands: ≥75 Low · ≥60 Moderate · ≥45 Elevated · else High.
Covenant analysis
Metrics are computed from the projection by the scenario engine — no covenant output is typed in. Headroom = distance to the covenant (positive = cushion). Hypothetical covenants are UNDERWRITING ASSUMPTION; disclosed covenants are tested on a model-basis proxy.

Red = payment default reached in or before that period. After a default the model keeps rolling mechanically for illustration; the recovery waterfall is struck at the default period.
