Recent Company History

Over the last six months, Par Pacific reported strong Q2 and Q3 2025 results with robust net income, adjusted EBITDA, and liquidity, yet the stock fell -11.12% after Q2 and -1.65% after Q3. Strategic steps included forming and then closing the Hawaii Renewables joint venture, with partners investing $100 million for a 36.5% stake and expected output of 61 million gallons per year. The current term loan repricing follows this period of balance sheet strengthening and capital allocation (share repurchases and JV funding).

5 terms

term loan credit agreement financial

"repriced and allocated its existing term loan credit agreement due 2030"

A term loan credit agreement is a formal contract where a borrower receives a fixed sum of money from a lender and agrees to repay it over a set period with interest, much like a multi‑year mortgage or car loan for a business. It matters to investors because the size, cost and rules of the loan affect a company’s cash flow, risk of default and ability to invest or pay dividends; restrictive conditions can also force operational changes.

applicable margin financial

"will reduce the Applicable Margin under the Term Loan Facility by fifty"

Applicable margin is the extra percentage added to a base interest rate to calculate the actual interest a borrower pays on a floating-rate loan or credit line. Investors care because it directly affects a company’s borrowing cost—higher margins raise interest expense and reduce profit and cash flow, while lower margins make financing cheaper; think of it as a variable surcharge on a sale price that reflects the lender’s view of risk.

base rate financial

"Base Rate loans and SOFR loans will bear interest at the applicable base rate"

The base rate is the primary interest rate set by a central authority or used as a benchmark for pricing loans, savings and other financial products. Think of it as the anchor in a floating system: when the base rate moves, borrowing costs, corporate financing and consumer spending tend to shift too, which can change company profits and investor returns across the market.

SOFR financial

"Base Rate loans and SOFR loans will bear interest at the applicable base rate"

The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is a market benchmark that measures the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Investors watch SOFR because it acts like a speedometer for short-term interest costs—affecting loan rates, bond yields and the pricing of interest-rate contracts—so movements change borrowing expenses, cash returns and the value of interest-sensitive investments.

basis points financial

"reduce the Applicable Margin under the Term Loan Facility by fifty (50) basis points"

Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.
