Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ITT Inc. entered into a new credit agreement providing delayed draw term loan commitments of $2,875,000,000 to help finance its previously announced acquisition of SPX FLOW, Inc. These commitments may be drawn on up to two occasions before they expire on September 11, 2026.

The loans will mature two years after the first borrowing and carry interest at either Term SOFR plus a margin of 1.00%–1.50%, or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 0.00%–0.50%, with margins tied to ITT’s debt ratings. An unused commitment fee of 0.10% will apply on the daily unused portion of the commitments from May 3, 2026.

The facility includes customary covenants limiting additional debt, liens, asset sales, mergers and dissolutions, and requires ITT to maintain a maximum net consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, with potential increases after certain material acquisitions. It also includes standard events of default such as non-payment, covenant breaches, certain insolvency events and change of control.

Insights

ITT arranges a large, covenant-based term loan to fund the SPX FLOW acquisition.

ITT Inc. has secured delayed draw term loan commitments totaling $2.875B to support its SPX FLOW acquisition. The delayed draw structure allows the company to time borrowings around deal funding while locking in lender commitments and pricing bands linked to its credit ratings.

The facility matures two years after first borrowing, so this is relatively short-term acquisition financing rather than long-dated structural debt. Interest is based on Term SOFR or an alternate base rate plus modest margins, suggesting lenders view ITT as a solid credit within agreed leverage limits.

The agreement includes a maximum net consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, with flexibility to increase after certain material acquisitions. This leverage test, along with restrictions on further debt, liens and asset sales, means future strategic and financing choices will need to stay within these boundaries as ITT completes and integrates the SPX FLOW transaction.

Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On February 18, 2026, ITT Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as borrower, certain of its subsidiaries, as co-borrowers, each lender from time to time party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as the administrative agent, sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner.
The Credit Agreement provides for delayed draw term loan commitments (the “DDTL Commitments”) in an aggregate principal amount of $2,875,000,000, which may be drawn, on up to two occasions, to finance the Company’s previously announced acquisition of SPX FLOW, Inc. The DDTL Commitments expire on September 11, 2026 to the extent such DDTL Commitments are undrawn or have not otherwise been terminated prior to such date. An unused commitment fee on the daily unused portion of the DDTL Commitments will accrue at a rate per annum equal to 0.10% during the period from and including May 3, 2026 until the earlier of (i) the date on which the DDTL Loans (as defined below) are fully funded and (ii) the date on which the DDTL Commitments terminate or expire.
The loans drawn under the Credit Agreement (the “DDTL Loans”) will mature two years from the date of the first borrowing of the DDTL Loans.
The DDTL Loans will bear interest at rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) term secured overnight financing rate (Term SOFR) plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%, or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.50%, with the applicable margin determined by reference to the Company’s debt ratings as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The DDTL Loans may be prepaid by the Company at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, subject to certain customary conditions.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for a facility of this type that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt or liens, merge or consolidate with another person, sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of assets, or liquidate or dissolve, in each case, subject to baskets and thresholds set forth in the Credit Agreement. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with a maximum ratio of net consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated adjusted EBITDA of 3.50 to 1.00 (which maximum ratio may be increased for certain periods following the consummation of certain material acquisitions). The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including failure to pay principal, interest or fees when due, failure to comply with covenants, any representation or warranty made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries being false in any material respect, default under certain other material indebtedness, certain insolvency events affecting the Company or any of its material subsidiaries, certain ERISA events, material judgments and a change in control, in each case, subject to cure periods and thresholds where customary.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto and filed as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
