An LBO results in a substantial increase in the amount of debt outstanding for the firm.
A LBO i.e a leveraged buyout transaction involves acquiring another company by using huge amount of debt. The assets of the target company serve as a collateral for the loan and are used to generate the cash flow required to pay for the loan amount. In most of the cases, for an LBO, the transaction is supported by 10% equity and 90% debt.
Hence, a leveraged buyout transaction results in huge debt outstanding for the firm.
