Rhea-AI Filing Summary

On 31 July 2025, RH’s wholly-owned subsidiary Restoration Hardware, Inc. executed a Second Amendment to its Twelfth Amended & Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America and other lenders.

  • Maturity extended: Revolving credit facility now matures four years later than the prior agreement.
  • Total capacity: Up to $600 million revolver, with a $300 million accordion that can lift total borrowing to $900 million; accordion may be structured as first-in, last-out term debt.
  • Subsidiary sub-limits: $10 million for RH Canada and $100 million for RH Geneva. European subsidiaries may access a separate sub-facility subject to conditions.
  • Covenants: No regular leverage covenants; a 1.0x fixed-charge coverage ratio applies only when unused availability falls below the greater of $40 million or 10 % of borrowing availability.
  • Collateral: Facility remains asset-based and secured by inventory, receivables and certain IP.

All other affirmative and negative covenants, reporting requirements and collateral arrangements remain largely unchanged. Item 2.03 confirms the amendment constitutes a direct financial obligation. Exhibit 10.1 contains the full text of the amendment.

Il 31 luglio 2025, la controllata interamente posseduta di RH, Restoration Hardware, Inc., ha stipulato un Secondo Emendamento al suo Dodicesimo Accordo di Credito Modificato e Rifirmato con Bank of America e altri finanziatori.

  • Scadenza prorogata: La linea di credito revolving ora scade quattro anni dopo rispetto all'accordo precedente.
  • Capacità totale: Fino a 600 milioni di dollari di revolving, con un accordion da 300 milioni di dollari che può aumentare il prestito totale fino a 900 milioni di dollari; l'accordion può essere strutturato come debito a termine first-in, last-out.
  • Sottolimiti per le controllate: 10 milioni di dollari per RH Canada e 100 milioni di dollari per RH Geneva. Le controllate europee possono accedere a una sotto-facilità separata soggetta a condizioni.

  • Garanzie: La linea rimane basata su attività ed è garantita da inventario, crediti e alcune proprietà intellettuali.

Tutte le altre convenzioni positive e negative, i requisiti di reporting e le disposizioni sulle garanzie rimangono sostanzialmente invariati. Il punto 2.03 conferma che l'emendamento costituisce un'obbligazione finanziaria diretta. L'Esibizione 10.1 contiene il testo completo dell'emendamento.

Am 31. Juli 2025 hat die vollständig im Besitz von RH befindliche Tochtergesellschaft Restoration Hardware, Inc. eine zweite Änderung ihres zwölften geänderten und neu gefassten Kreditvertrags mit der Bank of America und weiteren Kreditgebern unterzeichnet.

  • Verlängerte Laufzeit: Die revolvierende Kreditfazilität läuft nun vier Jahre länger als im vorherigen Vertrag.
  • Gesamtkapazität: Bis zu 600 Millionen US-Dollar revolvierender Kredit, mit einem 300 Millionen US-Dollar Akkordeon, das die Gesamtaufnahme auf 900 Millionen US-Dollar erhöhen kann; das Akkordeon kann als First-in, Last-out-Termindarlehen strukturiert werden.
  • Untergrenzen für Tochtergesellschaften: 10 Millionen US-Dollar für RH Kanada und 100 Millionen US-Dollar für RH Genf. Europäische Tochtergesellschaften können unter bestimmten Bedingungen auf eine separate Unterfazilität zugreifen.
  • Klauseln: Keine regulären Verschuldungsklauseln; ein fester Deckungsgrad von 1,0x gilt nur, wenn die ungenutzte Verfügbarkeit unter den höheren Wert von 40 Millionen US-Dollar oder 10 % der Kreditverfügbarkeit fällt.
  • Sicherheiten: Die Fazilität bleibt assetbasiert und ist durch Inventar, Forderungen und bestimmte geistige Eigentumsrechte besichert.

Alle anderen positiven und negativen Klauseln, Berichtspflichten und Sicherheitenregelungen bleiben weitgehend unverändert. Punkt 2.03 bestätigt, dass die Änderung eine direkte finanzielle Verpflichtung darstellt. Anhang 10.1 enthält den vollständigen Text der Änderung.

Positive
  • Maturity extended by four years, reducing near-term refinancing risk.
  • Accordion feature up to $300 million offers optional incremental liquidity.
  • No regular leverage covenants; FCCR springs only under low-availability conditions.
Negative
  • Facility remains fully secured, further encumbering assets.
  • Restrictive negative covenants limit dividends, additional debt, and asset sales.

Insights

TL;DR: Maturity extension preserves liquidity; asset-based structure and modest FCCR trigger limit covenant risk.

Extending the revolver by four years materially de-risks near-term refinancing for RH, keeping a sizable $600 m facility in place—with potential to reach $900 m via the accordion. Because the FCCR covenant springs only when availability dips below $40 m or 10 % of the base, covenant default risk is low as long as inventory and receivables remain healthy. The secured nature protects lenders but restricts RH’s asset flexibility and dividend capacity. Overall, a neutral-to-positive credit event: improved tenor outweighs additional encumbrance already present.

TL;DR: Longer liquidity runway supports strategic investments; covenant structure caps downside but limits shareholder distributions.

For shareholders, the four-year push-out removes a refinancing overhang and ensures access to working-capital funding as RH executes its international gallery rollout. The absence of leverage covenants provides operational flexibility during macro softness. However, the asset pledge and dividend restrictions may constrain capital returns. With no change to borrowing capacity, the amendment is not revenue-accretive but reduces tail risk—mildly positive for valuation multiples.
