Dutch term or phrase: leverage van 1,9
Googling the phrase "leverage of 1.9" (it means nothing to me!!), I find that most ghits actually have "leverage of 1.9x" (i.e. times). And "leverage of * times" gets trillions of ghits. Can any of you financial specialists confirm this is right here and that the "x" or "times" is necessary?

Someone is giving a presentation about his company and what it does. He starts by showing some turnover figures since the company was set up.

Ik toon even de omzetcijfers van het begin tot nu :

U ziet dat X bij zijn oprichting in 1996 ... miljoen euro omzet haalde. In 2010 was dat ... miljoen euro.
Om de 4 à 5 jaar zijn onze omzetcijfers verdubbeld.
En dit alles met een EBIDA niveau van boven 20% en een lage schuldgraad : vandaag hebben we een leverage van 1,9.

Reference: How to calculate the leverage ratio

Reference information:
Leverage ratio is a financial term used to describe the way that a company invests its assets. Specifically, it describes the amount of equity a company has in relation to its debt. Knowing how to calculate leverage ratio is useful because it allows you to determine how fiscally responsible a company is. It also helps you make more informed decisions regarding personal investments in a company.

Instructions
1
Determine the amount of debt the company has. This is the total amount of money that the company owes to any outside sources. It can be found on the company balance sheet in the liabilities section.

2
Determine the amount of equity the company has. This is the total value of the company's assets minus any company debt. It can be found on the company balance sheet in the assets section.

3
Divide the company's debt by its equity. The result is the leverage ratio. For example, if the company had $1,000 worth of debt and $4,000 worth of equity you would divide 1,000 by 4,000 to get a leverage ratio of 1/4 or 0.25.
