If a company has a Gross Leverage of 6.0x and a Net Leverage of 2.0x, what does this most likely indicate to a credit analyst?

  1. The company has very low cash balances relative to its total outstanding debt load.
  2. The company likely carries significant off-balance-sheet liabilities not captured in the leverage figures.
  3. The company is holding a massive cash balance, potentially from a recent debt issuance.
  4. The company's underlying EBITDA base is highly volatile from quarter to quarter.
