Insights
TTM refinances and expands credit, lowering term loan spreads.
TTM Technologies replaced its prior term loan and two asset-based revolvers with a larger, cash flow-based structure: a $400 million senior secured term loan and a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. The term loan refinancing reduced pricing by 50 basis points versus the prior facility.
The revolver shifts the company from regional asset-based lines to a consolidated cash flow facility maturing in May 2031, with a $200 million letter of credit sublimit. Maintenance covenants apply to the revolver, including a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 2.50:1.00 and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00, temporarily stepping up to 5.00:1.00 after qualifying acquisitions.
Obligations are guaranteed by domestic subsidiaries and secured by first priority liens on substantially all tangible and intangible assets, including capital stock within specified limits. The economic impact will depend on actual revolver usage, interest rate levels, and the company’s leverage profile in future quarters, as reflected in subsequent filings.
