Free cash flow to the firm is negative in Years 1 to 4 and turns positive only in Year 5 at R674 000, cumulatively minus R3.71 million across the five years. Substantially all of the value in the project therefore sits in the terminal value rather than in the cash generated within the window, which is the ordinary position for a manufacturer building capacity across its first five years. It is also why the exit multiple sensitivity above matters more than any single operating assumption.
