Investopedia explains 'Levered Free Cash Flow'

Levered free cash flows are important to a company because it signals what sort of cash position it is in after interest on its debt has been paid off. For example, if a company generates large quantities of cash, most of which has to be used to pay off interest on debt, the cash generated might not be enough to sustain proper future operations.
