  "result": "The covenant is **breached**: leverage is 3.50x against a maximum of 3.00x at the 2026-09-30 test date. I wrote the result to `out/covenant.json`:\n\n```json\n{\"consolidated_ebitda\": 44002.2, \"net_debt\": 153973.0, \"leverage\": 3.5, \"max_leverage\": 3.0, \"breached\": true, \"ebitda_headroom_pct\": -16.64}\n```\n\n**Consolidated EBITDA (44,002.20)**\n- **Quarters used:** 2025Q4 through 2026Q3. For 2026Q1 and 2026Q2 I used the restated versions filed in October 2026, which replace the originals. I left out the 2026Q4 forecast.\n- **Reported EBITDA:** 12,356 + 8,590 + 8,612 + 10,444 = 40,002.\n- **One-off add-backs:** these total 5,839. The agreement caps them at 10% of reported EBITDA, so only 4,000.20 counts.\n\n**Net debt (153,973.00)**\n- **Total debt (163,973):** both drawn facilities (73,707 + 72,681) plus both leases (14,862 + 2,723). The agreement counts all leases, not just finance leases.\n- **Cash deducted (10,000):** unrestricted cash is 17,088, but the agreement caps the cash you can net at 10,000. The 8,229 escrow account is excluded because escrowed cash isn't unrestricted.\n\n**Covenant test**\n- **Maximum:** 3.00x, because the test date falls after 2026-06-30.\n- **Leverage:** 3.4992x before rounding, which is above 3.00, so the covenant is breached. It reports as 3.50 after rounding.\n- **Headroom (\u221216.64%):** EBITDA would have to be about 16.6% higher for the covenant to pass.\n\nThe unrounded leverage of 3.4992x would have passed the earlier 3.50x limit, so the outcome depends on applying the 3.00x step-down that took effect after 2026-06-30.",
