JAKKS Pacific secures new $67.5 million credit facility through 2030

SANTA MONICA - Toy manufacturer JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAKK), currently valued at $229.72 million and maintaining a "GREAT" financial health score according to InvestingPro, has refinanced its existing asset-based revolving credit facility with a new cash flow based first lien secured revolving credit facility from BMO Bank NA, according to a press release statement issued Wednesday.

The new $67.5 million facility, which matures in 2030, replaces the company’s previous revolving credit facility that was set to expire in June 2026. The agreement was finalized on June 24.

Under the terms of the new credit facility, borrowed amounts will have an interest rate equal to the applicable Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 150 basis points, with potential rate increases based on quarterly net leverage ratios.

The facility is secured by substantially all of JAKKS Pacific’s assets and can be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. No debt was outstanding on the previous facility at the time of refinancing. This aligns with the company’s conservative debt management approach, as InvestingPro data indicates JAKKS holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, with total debt of just $56.92 million.
