Insights

This new $275 million term loan marks a significant financial restructuring for Orthofix, with several strategic advantages. The 48-month interest-only period provides substantial breathing room for operational flexibility. The initial $160 million funding helps refinance existing debt, while the additional $115 million available after 2025 creates a safety net for future growth initiatives.

The company's improved financial metrics, particularly becoming free cash flow positive and showing better adjusted EBITDA, likely helped secure more favorable loan terms. The non-dilutive nature of this financing preserves shareholder value compared to equity-based alternatives. The structure, with $65 million at borrower's option and $50 million at lender's discretion, provides balanced access to capital while maintaining fiscal discipline.
