ADT Inc. (NYSE:ADT), a leading provider of security, automation, and smart home solutions with a market capitalization of $6.8 billion, has entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, according to a recent 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to InvestingPro analysis, ADT currently trades below its Fair Value, presenting a potential opportunity for investors interested in the security services sector.
On Wednesday, the company, through its subsidiaries Prime Security Services Borrower, LLC, and The ADT Security Corporation, refinanced its existing $1.984 billion senior secured term facility.
The new agreement includes a repriced term loan facility of the same amount, with interest rates set at either a term SOFR rate plus a 2.00% margin or a base rate plus a 1.00% margin. This refinancing comes as ADT manages a total debt of $7.82 billion, while maintaining a healthy EBITDA of $2.43 billion for the last twelve months.
The base rate is determined by the highest of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, the prime rate, or the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00%. The repriced term loans, which start amortizing quarterly on March 31, 2025, are subject to a 0.25% payment of the original principal amount, with the balance due at maturity.
The amended agreement permits the company to make voluntary prepayments at any time before maturity, with a 1.00% prepayment premium applicable only under certain refinancing conditions within the first six months post-closing.
This strategic financial move allows ADT to optimize its debt structure under the same terms as the previous agreement, maintaining the obligations set forth in the existing credit agreement. Barclays (LON:BARC) Bank PLC continues to serve as the administrative agent for this transaction.
The detailed terms of the amendment are available in the full text of the Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement No. 18, which is attached as an exhibit to the 8-K filing. This filing confirms ADT's commitment to maintaining a solid financial foundation for its operations and growth initiatives.
Investors and stakeholders can refer to the SEC filing for a comprehensive overview of the amended credit terms, which continue to support ADT's leadership in the security services sector. InvestingPro data shows the company maintains a GOOD financial health score, with an EV/EBITDA ratio of 5.96x.
