Much is commented on Arrium's debt position.
Which ignores about 38% of the debt is for working capital.
Using 1H14 numbers
Stat Net Debt 1975
less Inventory 1332
plus Receivables 593
less Payables 1030
Stat Net Debt excluding working capital funding = $1,220m
Implied gearing = 1220 / (1220 + 3877) = 23%
I get 38% by (1975 - 1220) / 1975 = 38%
It world better represent the 'actual' debt position of the group.
