Daktronics renegotiates credit terms with JPMorgan

Daktronics , Inc. (NASDAQ:DAKT), a manufacturing company with a market capitalization of $683 million, has entered into a fourth amendment to its credit agreement, effective June 6, 2025. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains a strong financial health score of 2.93 (GOOD), with liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations. This amendment allows the company to secure Letters of Credit that may expire after the current maturity date of May 11, 2026, under certain conditions.

The amendment stipulates that Daktronics must deposit cash equal to 105% of the LC Exposure into a controlled account 91 days before the maturity date. This account will provide security for any unreimbursed amounts owed to the issuing lender. If the maturity date is extended, the funds will be returned to the company and other borrowers.

Furthermore, the amendment requires full repayment of any amounts owed under Delayed Draw Term Loans by May 11, 2026, or an earlier termination date if the commitments are reduced to zero or terminated. The repayment obligations under the Credit Agreement will mature on the earliest of November 30, 2026, six months prior to the scheduled maturity date of the Term Loan Debt, or the termination date.

As of the date of the report, Daktronics had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement, with the aggregate balance of all outstanding Letters of Credit at approximately $3.4 million, excluding the Specified Letters of Credit. This conservative debt position aligns with InvestingPro data showing the company holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, with a healthy current ratio of 2.43.

The details of this financial adjustment are outlined in the Consent and Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the SEC filing. This information is based on a press release statement. With total debt of just $42.52 million, the company maintains a conservative financial position, reflecting its prudent management approach.

In other recent news, Daktronics Inc. has completed its reincorporation from South Dakota to Delaware, following approval from shareholders. This strategic move, effective April 17, 2025, aligns the company with Delaware’s General Corporation Law, impacting shareholder rights and governance practices. The reincorporation included changes such as adopting a majority voting standard for uncontested director elections and introducing proxy access for significant long-term shareholders. Additionally, the company’s existing employee benefit and incentive plans have been transitioned to the new Delaware entity. In another development, Daktronics expanded its stock buyback program by $10 million, as approved by the Board of Directors. This expansion adds to the approximately $20 million already available for share repurchases, with management retaining discretion over the specifics of the buyback strategy. The company emphasizes compliance with all applicable securities laws during the repurchase process. These developments reflect Daktronics’ ongoing strategic adjustments and financial confidence.
