Template
Determine how much additional debt {entity} can prudently carry. Reason through: (1) Compute current EBITDA and existing debt service (principal plus interest) from the provided financials; state normalizing adjustments to EBITDA and defend each. (2) Compute current coverage ratios: EBITDA/interest and EBITDA/total debt service, plus debt/EBITDA leverage. (3) Establish binding constraints: existing covenant thresholds from {covenants}, lender market norms for the sector, and an internal cushion policy — the tightest constraint governs. (4) Solve backwards: at the constraint, what maximum debt service is supportable, and at the offered rate and term, what principal does that imply? Show the algebra. (5) Stress the answer: recompute capacity with EBITDA down 20%, since capacity measured at peak earnings evaporates in a downturn. (6) State prudent capacity as the stressed figure, the headroom versus current debt, and the covenant most likely to bind first.
