Face value = legal claim; purchase price / mark is what an investor pays; coupon is the contractual cash / PIK return; yield and recovery are derived on the Returns and Recovery tabs. Book value of program rights, receivables, PP&E and intangibles at 2026-06-30 (derived from the 10-Q balance sheet); liquidation recovery on that base is an analyst assumption (30%).
Maturity wall & refinancing requirement
| Period | Debt due | % of debt | Projected liquidity | Refi requirement | Liq. ÷ maturity | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LTM Jun-29E | $420M | 24% | $359M | $61M | 0.9x | High |
| 2033 (beyond horizon) | $1.3B | 76% | $0M | $1.3B | 0.0x | Medium |
Projected liquidity = cash + undrawn revolver entering the period + that period’s positive FCF, in the selected scenario. * Beyond the 5-period horizon; liquidity shown at the end of period 5. Maturity periods map actual maturity dates to the model’s period-end month (June).
Refinancing risk engine — Severe Downside
ANALYST PROJECTIONFor every maturing tranche: balance at maturity → can projected cash repay it? → if not, does leverage (net debt ÷ EBITDA ≤ scenario limit) and pro-forma interest coverage (≥ scenario minimum, at the assumed refinancing rate) permit refinancing? A failure with insufficient cash is a payment default and feeds the recovery waterfall.
