DCF Valuation Question - EV to PPS

Do you use current year or projected debt balance in DCF to get to projected price per share from enterprise value?

Example, doing a DCF to get a current enterprise value as of today 9/5/2021 in order to back out a theoretical price per share.

As of 9/5/2021 (valuation date) debt is 400MM, cash is 100MM

At end of projection period say 9/5/2026 debt is 100MM with a cash Balance of 300MM

Which figures do you use to get to the theoretical price per share? Projected net debt or net debt as of valuation date?

I know I should know this I just forgot
