If there's 0 increase in EBITDA it's hard to see a sponsor clearing their returns threshold...

While they can still increase the equity value (as % of enterprise value) via deleveraging, the lack of growth should hurt the exit multiple.

It will be difficult to get another sponsor (or even a strategic) to buy into a 0-growth story.

In this case returns are: deleveraging - multiple compression = sad days
