Most debt will have mandatory repayment requirements (e.g., 1%, 5%, 10% per year) so you'll have to build something in. Whether you model sweeping cash to repay debt more quickly during the model period is a different question...we usually don't do that in how we do our LBO models.
Got it thank you, do you have any LBO models I could potentially pm you for?
How about step up in sweeps as the debt gets closer to maturity? (e.g, 7-year tranche with 50-75% sweep from 5Y)
