Air T Inc. Secures New Term Loan, Ends Previous Agreement

CHARLOTTE, NC – Air T Inc. (NASDAQ:AIRT), an air courier service provider with a market capitalization of $55.66 million and annual revenue of $298.21 million, has announced the entry into a new term loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A., and the concurrent termination of a previous credit arrangement, according to a recent 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. InvestingPro analysis indicates the company operates with a significant debt burden, though its liquid assets exceed short-term obligations.

On Monday, Mountain Air Cargo, Inc. (MAC), a fully-owned subsidiary of Air T Inc., entered into a term loan valued at $2.28 million with Bank of America. The loan, which matures on February 21, 2030, stipulates monthly interest payments starting March 21, 2025. MAC will also make monthly principal payments of $9,500 and retains the option to prepay in full or in part without penalty. The loan’s interest rate is set at Term SOFR plus 1.75%, but a swap agreement fixed the rate at 5.99448%. This adds to the company’s existing total debt of $142 million, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 27.77x.

To secure the loan, MAC mortgaged its property at 5930 Balsom Ridge Road, Denver, North Carolina. The agreement includes several covenants, such as submitting financial information, maintaining a fixed coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1.0, and restrictions on additional debts, asset maintenance, and ownership changes.

In addition, Alerus Financial (NASDAQ:ALRS), National Association agreed to Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement and Consent on February 21, 2025. This amendment allowed for Alerus’ consent to the new financing and updated previous agreements to permit the additional borrowings and remove the lien on the Denver property. MAC utilized the proceeds from the new loan to repay Term Note B with Alerus, and Air T Inc. acknowledged and agreed to the outlined transactions.

The 8-K filing further indicates that the termination of the Term Note B with Alerus is connected to the new financial obligations incurred by the company. The filing includes detailed exhibits of the credit agreements and amendments, underscoring the formalization of these financial transactions.

This strategic financial restructuring reflects Air T Inc.’s ongoing efforts to manage its capital and secure favorable terms for its financial operations. The company maintains a current ratio of 1.9, indicating adequate liquidity to meet short-term obligations.
