MGP Ingredients, Inc. entered into two amendments to its debt arrangements to change how certain potential receivable losses affect covenant calculations. Amendment No. 2 to its amended and restated credit agreement and an Eighth Amendment to its note purchase and private shelf agreement both revise the definition of Consolidated EBITDA.
The revisions allow the company, through December 31, 2027, to add back aggregate losses of up to $20,000,000 related to specified customer accounts receivable, with any future recoveries deducted from Consolidated EBITDA. This prevents these uncollected receivables from worsening compliance with key financial covenants, including a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 and a consolidated net leverage ratio not exceeding 4.00 to 1.00, or 4.50 to 1.00 during an Elevated Ratio Period. MGP has elected an Elevated Ratio Period beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2026 in connection with earnout obligations from its Penelope Bourbon LLC acquisition. The company describes these steps as precautionary and states it believes leverage will peak in the third quarter of 2026 and then decline.
