Are DTLs included in net debt?

I'm building an LBO model and I'm wondering if deferred tax liabilities (created from PPE write-up at purchase) should be included in the net debt calculation subtracted from TEV to find equity value to the sponsor. Thanks!

Also interested in this (again in an LBO context). Is my understanding below correct?

  • DTAs/DTLs not included in EV/equity bridge at entry as they are written off at entry
  • Track DTAs/DTLs (based on goodwill / write-ups at entry and any PBT losses incurred) through investment period to get to adjusted PBT, FCF and ultimately debt paydown
  • If DTAs/DTLs remain at end of exit period, these are included in EV/equity bridge

As a matter of interest, is this something that is commonly tested in modelling tests for MFs/UMMs as quite frankly it's something I'm struggling to get my head around.
