FirstCash Upsizes Credit Facility to $1.1B, Extends Maturity to 2031
FCFS sits 55% above its 52-week low of $144.56.
Summary
FirstCash amended its unsecured bank credit facility, increasing the committed size from $700 million to $1.055 billion and extending maturity from August 2029 to August 2031. The amendment also raises the permitted net leverage ratio to 3.5x EBITDA, adds direct GBP borrowing capacity of up to $500 million, reduces the unused fee, and brings two new banks into the syndicate. This follows the company's recent $273 million Ramsdens acquisition and a $150 million buyback authorization, providing ample committed capital for the pending Ramsdens deal and other acquisitions. The expanded facility and lender support signal confidence in FirstCash's growth strategy and cash flow generation. The company expects the Ramsdens acquisition to close pending final regulatory approval.
