ABL Facility financial
"amended its revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”)"
An ABL facility is a line of credit where a company borrows money using its current assets—like accounts receivable, inventory or equipment—as the primary form of security. It works like a home equity line but tied to business assets: the more valuable and easily sold those assets are, the more the company can borrow. Investors watch ABLs because they affect a company’s liquidity, borrowing capacity and financial flexibility, and because repayments depend on the condition and turnover of the underlying assets.
