Inspired Entertainment secures new financing with senior notes

NEW YORK - Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSE), a prominent B2B gaming technology provider with a market capitalization of $215.3 million, has finalized a private placement of £270 million in senior secured notes due 2030, alongside a new £17.8 million revolving credit facility. This move, completed today, aims to refinance existing debt and support general corporate functions. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains impressive gross profit margins of nearly 70% and trades at an attractive P/E ratio of 3.2x.

The 2030 Senior Secured Notes carry a floating interest rate tied to SONIA with a margin between 550 and 600 basis points, contingent on the senior secured net leverage ratio of the Company’s subsidiaries. These notes are slated to mature on June 9, 2030. The concurrent Revolving Credit Facility, maturing on December 9, 2029, also references SONIA for interest calculations, adding a margin of 325 to 375 basis points based on the same leverage ratio. InvestingPro analysis indicates the company maintains healthy liquidity with a current ratio of 1.43, suggesting strong ability to meet short-term obligations.

Proceeds from the offering are earmarked for redeeming Inspired’s £235 million senior secured notes due June 1, 2026, repaying £15 million loans under a previously existing revolving credit facility, covering refinancing costs, and for general corporate purposes.

Barclays Bank plc, HG Vora Special Opportunities Master Fund, Ltd., BSE Investments, Ltd., and HG Vora Opportunistic Capital Master Fund III A LP are the purchasers of the 2030 Senior Secured Notes. Barclays Bank plc provided the Revolving Credit Facility. Stifel acted as the financial advisor and exclusive debt financing agent, while Davis Polk served as the legal advisor to Inspired Entertainment.
