Insights

Credit and capital structure analyst

Friedman Industries expanded its revolving credit capacity from $125M to $140M.

The company executed a Sixth Amendment to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on December 9, 2025. This amendment raises aggregate commitments from $125 million to $140 million, increasing available borrowing under the existing facility rather than creating a new structure. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. continues to serve as administrative agent alongside the participating lenders.

The amendment also adjusts certain threshold amounts and updates the definition of “Eligible Accounts,” which can influence how much of the company’s receivables qualify as collateral for borrowing. The detailed terms will appear in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ending December 31, 2025, where investors can review covenant language and any changes to borrowing availability mechanics.
