-
€800M Refinancing Launched
Nomad Foods Bondco Plc is offering €800 million in senior secured notes due 2033 to refinance the existing €800 million notes due 2028, extending maturities by five years.

Analysis · NOMD · Manufacturing
Preliminary Q2 results came in ahead of the outlook communicated last quarter, with Adjusted EBITDA landing between €120 million and €126 million. At the same time, the company is launching an €800 million senior secured notes offering to refinance its 2028 notes, pushing maturities out to 2033 and upsizing its revolving credit facility by €105 million. While the refinancing may lift near-term interest expense, it eliminates refinancing risk and underscores lender confidence. In a rebuilding year, the combination of an operational beat and proactive balance sheet management sends a positive signal, even as full-year revenue and EBITDA are still guided to decline.
