medium · Principles of Finance capital-budgeting

How does the 'Cash Sweep' in an LBO typically treat capital expenditures?

  1. CapEx is ignored entirely because it is classified as an investing activity, not an operating one
  2. CapEx is subtracted from operating cash flow before determining the cash available for debt repayment
  3. CapEx is added back to Net Income as if it were a non-cash source of funds available to lenders
  4. CapEx is funded entirely by issuing new equity each period so that all internal cash can go toward debt repayment
