Effective Debt
A measure of a company's total liabilities. It includes all the debt the company holds. The figure also involves the value of the firm's lease payments.
For some industries, the lease stuff matters a lot. Think: a retail chain that has a lot of actual, physical stores. The company spends a lot of its cash on lease payments, making the leases a key liability.
