Jefferson Capital Launches $100M Senior Notes Offering Due 2030
JCAP sits 44% above its 52-week low of $15.5.
Summary
Jefferson Capital is proposing a private offering of $100 million in senior notes due 2030, with the add-on notes fully guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by its subsidiaries. This follows the company's S-3 shelf registration filed in July, which included a $100 million universal shelf, suggesting this offering may be drawn from that capacity. The debt raise comes shortly after Q2 results showed revenue up 16% but net income down 13% due to higher servicing and stock-based compensation costs. The offering will increase leverage but provides capital for continued portfolio deployments and the Bluestem portfolio integration. Terms such as coupon and use of proceeds were not disclosed in the announcement.
At the time of this announcement, JCAP was trading at $22.26 on NASDAQ in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $1.4B. The 52-week trading range was $15.50 to $24.44.
