New financing structure reduces financing expense significantly, expands room for strategic maneuver, and enables additional acquisition-led growth
Nuremberg, August 6, 2007: TA Triumph-Adler has today completed its announced refinancing successfully and as planned. The package of measures amounting to around EUR 80 million has been fully achieved. The existing third-party financing, consisting of a high-yield mezzanine loan and a syndicated loan, has been paid down completely. A cornerstone of the refinancing was the capital increase that was fully placed in July and raised gross proceeds of EUR 28 million for the company.
A coordinated mix of third-party financing instruments was implemented at the same time. This allowed a significant reduction in overall bank borrowings and a halving of the number of financing partners. The net financial result will be improved by around EUR 5 million per year as a result of the refinancing. At the same time the company will benefit from greater strategic room for maneuver when utilizing available cash flows as a result of simplified financing terms. As announced, the TA Triumph-Adler Group will utilize the additional resources made available to push ahead with a stronger focus on its successful acquisition activity, as well as the strategic expansion of its core business.
The specialist for efficiency in the Document Business anticipates revenue of around EUR 400 million for the current financial year, a further improvement in operating profit, and pre-tax earnings at the lower end of the double-digit range, which represents a doubling year-on-year.
