Financing policy
One of the means by which Repower manages debt is by targeting a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 3 or lower in the medium term.
- It has set a target corridor of 2 to 3. A study by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology gives 3.5 as the figure that should not be exceeded in the longer term if a company wants to avoid problems, for example with expanding credit. Repower’s policy does allow it to exceed these target figures for limited periods of time, for example to implement necessary investment programmes that have a negative impact on the metrics.
- The equity ratio must be kept within the 35-45 per cent range.

Nebt debt changes between 31.12.2019 and 31.12.2020
- Credit ratings from agencies have a major impact on borrowing costs. The better the rating, the more easily a company can access the debt markets and the cheaper it can raise borrowed capital.
- The successful capital increase and the improved operating income for 2016 and 2017 have resulted in a confirmation of the investment grade ratings by UBS, Bank Vontobel and ZKB.
