Heavy upfront CAPEX pushes unlevered free cash flow deeply negative for years before utilisation and pricing turn it positive.

Frequently asked questions

How does free cash flow behave in a Data Center business?

For a Data Center model, heavy upfront CAPEX pushes unlevered free cash flow deeply negative for years before utilisation and pricing turn it positive. The workbook derives unlevered free cash flow line by line (NOPAT + D&A − CAPEX − the increase in working capital) and bridges to levered FCF via the debt schedule, so you can read conversion and runway straight off the linked statements.

How many years should a Data Center free cash flow forecast cover?

Typically 15–25 years to match asset life. Three to five years suits operating and fundraising decisions; asset-heavy cases run longer. The free tier covers 3 years; premium extends to 25.
