Difference between Gearing and Leverage Ratio
My understanding of the gearing and leverage ratio formulas is as below:
Gearing ratio = Net Debt/Net debt+Equity Leverage = Total Assets/Total Equity
My question is regarding off balance sheet financing. In this situation if a company takes an operating lease or any other off balance sheet asset, then it should increase the leverage ratio BUT will not impact the gearing ratio? Can someone confirm this?
