The amended ABL maintains a $750 million committed borrowing capacity with borrowing rates of Term SOFR plus 1.25% to 1.75% margin, based on the company's fixed charge coverage ratio.

Insights

The $750 million ABL facility renewal represents a significant financial milestone for MRC Global, extending their credit availability through 2029. The competitive borrowing rate of Term SOFR plus 1.25-1.75% margin indicates strong lender confidence. This refinancing, combined with their recent Term Loan B, strategically improves their capital structure in two key ways:

  • Eliminates near-term refinancing risk by extending debt maturities
  • Removes the overhang from convertible preferred stock, simplifying the equity structure
The fixed charge coverage ratio-based pricing mechanism provides potential cost savings through improved operational performance. This comprehensive refinancing positions MRC Global with enhanced financial flexibility and a more streamlined capital structure, important for navigating industry cycles in the energy services sector.
