Analysis · HFFG · Trade & Services
HF Foods amended its credit agreement to increase the revolving facility from $125M to $140M and refinance term loans to $125M, providing an additional $40.1M in liquidity. The deal brings in TD Bank as a new lender while Wells Fargo exits, and extends maturities to 2031 (revolver) and 2036 (term loan). The amendment also introduces a minimum availability covenant and ties a $6.8M term loan prepayment to the closing of the Searay acquisition within 120 days. This refinancing strengthens the company's capital structure and supports its international expansion, but the new covenants and environmental reserve add conditions that warrant attention.
