Katapult (NASDAQ: KPLT) secures waiver after loan covenant default

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Katapult Holdings, Inc. disclosed that it failed to maintain the required Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations as of the last business day of the month ended December 31, 2025 under its Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement.

On January 15, 2026, the company and its affiliates entered into a Seventh Limited Waiver with Midtown Madison Management LLC and the other lenders. This agreement, among other things, permanently waives the related “Existing Default” defined in the waiver, preventing that covenant breach from triggering lender remedies under the loan agreement.

Positive

• Permanent waiver of existing default: The Seventh Limited Waiver permanently waives the defined “Existing Default,” removing immediate lender remedies related to the December 2025 covenant breach.

Negative

• Covenant breach on loan agreement: Katapult failed to maintain the required Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations as of the last business day of the month ended December 31, 2025, triggering a default under its loan agreement.
• Multiple prior waivers and amendments: The Seventh Limited Waiver follows several earlier limited waivers and amendments in 2025, suggesting recurring covenant pressure under the credit facility.

Insights

Credit and capital structure analyst

Covenant default was triggered but has been permanently waived.

Katapult Holdings, Inc. reports a breach of the Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations covenant as of the end of December 2025 under its Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. Such a default can give lenders significant rights, including potential acceleration of obligations, even though specific remedies are not detailed here.

To address this, the company and its lending group executed a Seventh Limited Waiver on January 15, 2026. The waiver permanently waives the “Existing Default,” which reduces immediate pressure from lenders and keeps the current credit facility in place on the amended terms referenced in prior waivers and amendments.

From a risk perspective, the need for multiple waivers, including those dated between September and December 2025 and this latest one, signals ongoing covenant pressure tied to originations performance. While the waiver resolves this specific default, overall credit quality will continue to depend on the company’s ability to meet loan covenants going forward.
