Net debt was pretty much flat over the quarter, improved by only $0.1B.
Gross debt actually worsened
While this was finance lease driven, FMG is further away from investment grade than it was a few months ago ( a function of lower profitability at lower prices for the same debt, also cash is not always credited in full against gross debt by the ratings agencies)
Paying a good dividend very difficult from here as that would further worsen credit metrics.
