Calumet (NASDAQ: CLMT) announced a private placement offering of $100 million in 9.75% Senior Notes due 2028. The offering, made through its subsidiaries, will be available to eligible purchasers under Rule 144A and Regulation S. The company plans to use the net proceeds to redeem a portion of its outstanding 11.00% Senior Notes due 2026, with redemption scheduled on or before April 15, 2025.

The new notes mirror the company's existing 9.75% Senior Notes due 2028, of which $325 million was issued on June 27, 2023. While having substantially identical terms, the new notes will be issued under a separate indenture with different CUSIP numbers. The securities will be offered exclusively to qualified institutional buyers and non-U.S. persons outside the United States.

Insights

This $100 million senior notes offering represents a strategic debt refinancing move that will reduce Calumet's interest expense burden. By replacing $100 million of 11.00% notes due 2026 with 9.75% notes due 2028, the company will save approximately $1.25 million annually in interest costs. Additionally, this extends the maturity profile by two years, improving financial flexibility.

The mirror issuance structure, matching the terms of existing 2028 notes, suggests market acceptance of Calumet's credit profile. The 9.75% coupon rate, while still high-yield, reflects improved credit metrics compared to the 11.00% 2026 notes being redeemed. This private placement under Rule 144A indicates institutional investor interest, though the high yield still signals some market concerns about credit quality.

For context, this refinancing affects about 30.7% of the outstanding 2026 notes and will bring total 2028 notes to $425 million. The timing, ahead of the April 15, 2025 redemption deadline, provides operational certainty while taking advantage of current market conditions.

This debt restructuring signals positive momentum in Calumet's financial strategy. The ability to secure lower-cost debt in the current high-rate environment demonstrates improving market confidence in the company's specialty chemicals and renewable fuels business model. The 1.25% interest rate reduction, while modest, represents meaningful progress in optimizing the capital structure.

The private placement approach to qualified institutional buyers suggests strong institutional demand, which could support future refinancing efforts. The decision to maintain separate CUSIP numbers, rather than combining with existing 2028 notes, provides flexibility for future liability management. This transaction positions Calumet more competitively within the specialty chemicals sector, where capital structure optimization is important for maintaining operational flexibility and funding growth initiatives.
