Historical columns are calculated from reported filing inputs (click a line label to jump to its source). Projections flow from the selected scenario’s assumptions (Scenarios tab): interest accrues on beginning balances by tranche; floating tranches use MAX(SOFR, floor) + spread + scenario shock; PIK accrues to principal. FCF = net income + D&A + SBC + PIK − capex − ΔNWC / other. Impairments, restructuring and other one-offs are excluded from EBITDA and net income and sit in the cash plug.
Provenance: reported inputs → standardized lines PUBLIC FILING
Each blue input in the Excel Historical tab is one row below. Values are US$ millions (filing reports US$ thousands; ÷1000). “Calculated” lines are formulas over these inputs, never typed numbers.
