Repayment of Debt

"Repayment of Debt" is a financial metric that measures the amount of money a company pays back to its creditors over a specific period of time to reduce its outstanding debt. It is generally calculated by subtracting the total amount of debt at the end of a period from the beginning debt balance, and then subtracting any additional debt issued during the period. The figure obtained represents the amount the company paid off its debt during the period. The repayment of debt metric is important as it helps investors and analysts to evaluate a company's ability to manage its debt load and meet its financial obligations.
