FAQ
What is an SPV and how does it work?
An SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) is a legally independent entity that is established for a specific purpose, often to reduce risk or finance projects. In the case of asset-as-a-service financing, the SPV financed by financiers would buy up the asset and make it available to the asset user. The ownership of the asset remains in SPV, but is managed by cap-on.
What is a CFO triangle and how does it work?
The CFO triangle refers to the connection between income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement. The CFO triangle helps entrepreneurs take the right measures to increase profitability and ensure sufficient liquidity.
What does "Capex-to-OPEX" mean under IFRS 16 environment?
Capex-to-OPEX means that traditional capital expenditure (CAPEX) for buying assets is being replaced by using assets as a service (OPEX). With Asset-as-a-Service, the system user pays for the use and services of the plant. In accordance with IFRS 16, these payments are recorded as operating expenses (OPEX) instead of recording the assets as capital expenses (CAPEX) on the balance sheet.
What does TCO mean and how is it calculated?
TCO stands for total cost of ownership and describes the total costs of owning a product or service over its lifetime. It is calculated by the sum of the purchase, operating and maintenance costs.
What does dynamic price adjustment mean?
Dynamic price adjustment refers to the flexible adjustment of the price per unit produced in accordance with actual utilization. This decreases with lower utilization and increases with higher utilization. This mechanism is used to calculate the variable rate for pay-per-use leasing.
What does degressive price adjustment mean?
Degressive price adjustment means that the price per unit produced decreases over the term as measured by cumulative total utilization. This decreases as more units are produced. This mechanism is used to calculate the variable rate for asset-as-a-service.
