RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Where we sit with LTDOk, I think maybe I understand where the confusion is coming from.
In your original post, BBDB859, you said BBD's remaining LTD is $7.3B. I am guessing that you meant that there is $7.3B remaining of BBD's original $10.1B LTD. You then mentioned $1.4B new LTD debt issue, so I'm guessing you assumed people would realize that BBD's total LTD was now $8.7B ($7.3B + $1.4B), with $3.4B cash on hand. If that was your thinking, I did not realize it, and I imagine others misunderstood as well.
When I questioned you about it, I think you ended up confusing yourself. In your response to me, you said:
Here is why?
-They have $1.4B Cash from reserves. (remember the $0.400B cashburn).
-They had about $0.6B left over from the BT receipts too.
-They did a JBD Issue for $1.2B recently due in 2026. (which they still have the cash on hand to use towards buying the balance of the $0.514B left for 2022 & $0.533B left for 2023 remaining to discharge.
-Remember that they also took $ 0.510B, in an offering, and they'll settle with that Bond Holder's breach complaint for $0.250B slowly as well. But they'll still have $0.261B left over from that Private offering.
So total on hand right now is $1.4B + $0.6B + $0.261B + $1.2B= $3.46B left in their hands right now.
So from above. $3.46B - ($.514B + $.533B) = $2.41B - the $.250B (for that bond holder when the settlement time comes) and VIOLA (there it is) $2.16B left over. The highlighted parts of your response are not correct. There is no way that the 2022 and 2023 bonds could be around $500M each unless BBD had paid them down already with some of the $3.4B. In fact, all of the raised money ($1.46B) went to debt refinancing. That is why LTD remains at $7.3B, and cash on hand is $2.1B.

Yes I said that they had $3.4B on hand, because that's what was in their hands at the posting time. As well, I've explained to you why? Like I said that, they may have paid out the balance due on some of that 22/23 debt fully by now. If so then maybe you know something I don't. They did the offerings, but not all Bondholders cash out at the requested time of the payout by Bombardier. The fact is that, that doesn't really matter. Our #'s are the same on debt payment, with either your method or mine. With out exausting the point.
Your numbers on the debt are accurate, but you have made several mistakes in your cash on hand calculations.
My debt #, is exactly what the debt is. Your cash on hand is off by $250M from what I can see in your calculations. Read below
We know that at the end of Q1, they had pro forma liquidity of $2.6B ($2B cash + ~$600M in Alstom shares). The $2B cash was made up of $1.4B reserves (down from $1.8B due to $400M cash burn) and $600M left from BT sale. I think we agree on this.
Agreed, we're good here, as far as I can see.
They sold the Alstom shares for 506M Euro, and used 426M Euro to redeem the Euro bonds, leaving 80M Euro. Call that $90M and cash on hand is at $2.09B.
This is where we start to differ on how they used the money to pay what off, with the funds. Specifically, what they paid off already, and what is still outstanding. Because I think, you do your calculations differently than I do. But we both come up with the same # at the end. So we're fine here too.BTW. It was $119.3M US left over from the Euro Bond, and they used it, to pay off the $119.3 @ 7.35% in Dec.2026. Potatoe potato.
Since then, they have raised $1.46B ($1.2B + $0.26B) in two offerings. All of that has been put toward debt. The June tender offer cost ~$825M, the remaining Dec 2021 bonds cost ~$64M, the remaining Mar 2022 bonds cost ~$96M, and $475M for partial redemption of the Oct 2022 bonds. Add those numbers up and you get $1.46B.
The only change I would make to the above paragraph is. That the money they got or raised for the Private Bond offering for the Bondholder Dispute was $250M more than what you've added above. You acounted for only the $260M that they got. So knowing that, folow me to the final paragraph
So cash on hand is about $2.1B right now. LTD is about $7.35B right now. Net debt is about $5.25B right now ($7.35B - $2.1B)
Here now, from your calculations above: If you add the $250M that you didn't include from the previous paragraph as I pointed out. It's not $2.1B on hand. Then, they should have $2.35B on hand. So Finally $7.35B - $2.35 on hand = Net Debt of closer to $4.950B. Agreed?
I'm now done with this. Even if I'm off by $250M and not you. If you want to argue over this small difference of $250M (plus or minus ) in Net Debt here? Sorry I'm just not interested in continuing it. You wanna discuss something else, then fine. But we just differ, in the process of intervals, of how the debt is paid off. It takes time for these re-payments to take place. I have a little diferent payment schedule than you do.
