No it doesn't. It is based on given period EBITD or cashflows depending on the term sheet definition of DSCR.

 

Future cashflows are taken into account when estimating LLCR

Debt Service Coverage ratio (DSCR), one of the leverage / coverage ratios, calculated in order to know the cash profit availability to repay the debt including interest. Essentially, DSCR is calculated when a company / firm takes loan from bank / financial institution / any other loan provider. This ratio suggests the capability of cash profits to meet the repayment of the financial loan. DSCR is very important from the view point of the financing authority as it indicates repaying capability of the entity taking loan. Just a year’s analysis of DSCR does not lead to any concrete conclusion about the debt servicing capability. DSCR is relevant only when it is seen for the entire remaining period of loan.
