Hillman Solutions Corp. (HLMN) completed the acquisition of Kanebridge, LLC on August 28, 2026 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $315 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Kanebridge is a U.S. master distributor of commercial and military‑grade fasteners, supplying more than 44,000 SKUs to distributors in the U.S. and Canada.
To help finance the transaction, Hillman’s subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 1 to their term loan credit agreement, adding $200 million of senior secured term loans maturing July 22, 2033. These Additional Term Loans are priced, at the Borrower’s option, at SOFR + 2.00% or ABR + 1.00%, and are secured by substantially all assets of the borrower and guarantors. The deal establishes Hillman’s first U.S. industrial master distribution platform and expands its industrial addressable market to approximately $3 billion.
Hillman Solutions Corp. agreed to acquire fastener master distributor Kanebridge Corporation for approximately $315 million, subject to customary adjustments and regulatory approvals. The deal is expected to close around the start of the fourth quarter of 2026 and be funded with cash on hand, borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and a committed $200 million senior secured term loan with terms expected to match existing term loans maturing July 22, 2033.
For the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2026, Hillman posted net sales of $442.3 million, up 9.8%, and net income of $21.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $77.1 million, with free cash flow of $70.2 million. The company repurchased about 1.7 million shares for $13.3 million, ended the quarter with net debt of $665.4 million and net debt to trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA of 2.4x, and later refinanced into a new $735 million term loan B and $375 million asset-based revolver. Full-year 2026 guidance was updated to net sales of $1.670–$1.720 billion, Adjusted EBITDA of about $285 million, and free cash flow of $105–$115 million, assuming timely Kanebridge closing.
Hillman Solutions Corp. refinanced its existing credit facilities by entering into a new $735.0 million senior secured Term Loan B and a $375.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility. Proceeds from the term loan were used to repay the prior term loan and revolving credit facility and to pay related fees and expenses.
The Term Loan B matures on July 22, 2033, bears interest at the borrower’s option at SOFR + 2.00% or ABR + 1.00%, and is guaranteed and secured by substantially all assets of the borrower, its parent and material domestic subsidiaries. The new ABL revolver provides $325.0 million of availability to the U.S. borrower and $50.0 million to the Canadian borrower, subject to a borrowing base, matures on July 22, 2031, and is priced at SOFR or CORRA plus 1.25%–1.50%, or alternate base rates plus 0.25%–0.50%. The term loan facility has no financial maintenance covenants. Management stated that this refinancing “meaningfully extends” Hillman’s debt maturity profile and “enhances” financial flexibility.
