HF Sinclair secures $2 billion credit facility with extension option

HF Sinclair Corp (NYSE:DINO), a company specializing in pipeline operations with annual revenues of $28.58 billion and a market capitalization of $6.33 billion, has entered into a significant financial agreement, securing a $2 billion Senior Unsecured Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement, as reported today. The deal, brokered with Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) Bank as the administrative agent and various lenders, also includes an option to increase the total commitments to $2.75 billion. The company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 1.65, indicating its ability to meet short-term obligations. According to InvestingPro analysis, which offers comprehensive financial health metrics for over 1,400 US stocks, HF Sinclair’s liquid assets comfortably exceed its short-term obligations.

The credit facility, which commenced today, has an initial maturity date of April 3, 2030. It features an extension mechanism allowing HF Sinclair to prolong the commitment in one-year increments, adhering to the terms within the agreement. With the stock currently trading near its 52-week low, InvestingPro analysis suggests the company is undervalued, with multiple additional insights available through their detailed Pro Research Report.

Interest rates on the borrowed amounts under this agreement will vary. The company can choose between a rate based on the prime rate, a base rate, or Spread Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.125% to 1.000%. Alternatively, a rate equal to the Spread Adjusted Term SOFR for the applicable period plus a margin ranging from 1.125% to 2.000% is available.

In addition to the interest, HF Sinclair will pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments and any outstanding swingline loans, with rates between 0.125% and 0.325%, depending on the company’s credit ratings from Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P.

In conjunction with this new credit agreement, HF Sinclair terminated two previous credit arrangements. The first was a Senior Unsecured Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement with MUFG Bank that was set to mature in April 2026 with a maximum amount of $1.65 billion. The second termination involved a credit agreement for Holly Energy Partners (NYSE:HEP), L.P., with a cap of $1.2 billion, due July 2025, and the associated Parent Guaranty Agreement. Both terminations occurred without prepayment penalties.

This strategic financial move is based on information from a press release statement and is part of HF Sinclair’s broader efforts to optimize its capital structure and financial flexibility. With total debt of $3.13 billion and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.34, the company’s actions reflect a proactive approach to managing its debt and ensuring long-term financial health.

In other recent news, HF Sinclair Corporation reported a significant financial miss for the fourth quarter of 2024. The company recorded an adjusted net loss of $191 million, translating to an earnings per share (EPS) of -$1.02, which was well below the anticipated $0.01 EPS. Revenue also fell short, reaching $6.5 billion against an expected $6.77 billion. Analysts at Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) Securities have since adjusted their outlook on HF Sinclair, lowering the price target from $45 to $40, while maintaining a Neutral rating, citing expected underperformance in several financial metrics.

Additionally, HF Sinclair has announced a three-year sponsorship agreement with the Utah Hockey Club, set to begin in 2025. This partnership will include promotions and co-branded events, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to community engagement. Despite the financial setbacks, HF Sinclair plans significant investments in 2025, with $775 million allocated for sustaining capital and $100 million for growth projects. The company also aims to expand its branded retail sites by 10% annually.

HF Sinclair’s refining segment faced challenges, but other divisions like Midstream and Lubricants performed well, achieving record production levels in certain areas. The Renewable Diesel segment, however, encountered difficulties due to decreased credit prices and regulatory uncertainties. These developments indicate a complex landscape for HF Sinclair as it navigates market conditions and strategic initiatives.
