Avolta successfully refinances its main bank facility

24.10.2024 / 06:30 CET/CEST

Avolta has successfully amended and extended its existing Revolving Credit Facility (RCF). The amended EUR 2,400 million RCF with maturity in 2029 replaces the EUR 2,750 million RCF expiring in 2027. 

The amended facility contributes positively to Avolta’s well-balanced debt profile and provides additional benefits, including:

  • Reduction of interest expenses of approximately CHF 10 million per annum due to renegotiated margin levels 
  • Extended maturity profile with the amended facility expiring in December 2029, a weighted average maturity of 4.1 years and no material debt maturities before 2026 
  • Current available liquidity position of around CHF 2.1 billion

Commenting on the deal, Avolta CFO Yves Gerster said: "We are very pleased to complete this well over-subscribed refinancing, providing us with greater flexibility and more favorable terms to support our ongoing operational strategies."

Maturity Profile

Note: 1) Post RCF refinancing (reduction of EUR 350m) 
2) Reflects full repayment of remainder of EUR 800m Bond (repaid EUR 393m per mid-October)

Avolta : HY Retail : Call me maybe

The maturity profile of high-yield debt in the retail and personal & household goods (PHG) sectors shows a total of around € 5bn in maturities in 2026 and 2027, for which we expect a moderate € 3.5bn to € 4bn in conventional refinancing. However, a major wave of early refinancing of longer-dated notes could very well come onto the primary market this year in order to benefit from lower interest rates and spreads. Most of these bonds, issued in 2023-24 with high coupons, can be called from 2026 a...
