Cash in / Cash out in Debt service
Hello everyone, I have a rather particular topic i mind with no real "on the book" answer so I wanted to have different views on it.
I was going through a presentation for a company that has a particular debt / cash structure. What I mean is that the company was financing all of its cash (capex, WC, debt services, etc.) needs not through "classic" EBITDA or cash generation but thanks to short term financing (such as factoring or revolver). I remember you wrote a post on that subject (debtor financing / factoring if I remember correctly).
I had to present the company to some of my executives and I decided to present a cash flow statement with a breakdown of debt variation for each debt items (senior mezz, revolver, capex line, etc.). When I wanted to post debt service, the first issue I encountered was: should I include not only senior debt repayments but all others too? I know that in the strict sense, debt service usually only includes repayments of the TLA. But if I wanted to take a broader view on what I need to repay my banks, could it be justified to take all other debt items (including therefore capex drawing, factoring, etc and final repayments for TLB, TLC, mezz, etc;)?
AND (yes this is not over yet), in the case of those short term financing, would you account only for cash outs or include the cash in too linked to debt repayments (drawing of undrawn debt facility). I understand that technically debt repayment shouldn't be netted by issuance of new debt, but in this case it's different as we are talking about types of debt where you can draw & repay at will.
Thanks for your views on the subject.
Cheers.
