Analysis · KRMN · Manufacturing
Karman Holdings closed its first international acquisition, paying approximately $95 million in cash for Glasgow-based Walker Precision Engineering. To fund the deal, the company increased its term loan by $100 million, bringing total term debt to roughly $864 million. The acquisition gives Karman a European footprint and expands its missile seeker, guidance, and control systems capabilities across more than 25 EU defense programs. The added debt increases leverage, but the deal was previously announced and the financing terms are consistent with the company's recent refinancing activity.
