Moody’s downgrades Senegal to Caa1 amid rising debt concerns
TransDigm Group Incorporated (NYSE:TDG), a $71.9 billion aerospace component manufacturer with impressive gross profit margins of nearly 60%, announced Wednesday that its wholly owned subsidiary, TransDigm Inc., completed an amendment to its existing credit agreement. According to a statement based on a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the amendment includes repricing and extending certain term loans. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains strong financial health with liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations.
As of September 17, TransDigm repriced the margin on $1.686 billion of its existing term loans K, reducing the interest margin from Term SOFR plus 2.75% to Term SOFR plus 2.25%. The company also amended and extended $1.857 billion of its existing term loans I, changing the maturity date from August 2028 to March 2030 and lowering the margin from Term SOFR plus 2.75% to Term SOFR plus 2.25%. These amended term loans I were converted into new tranche K term loans, which now bear the revised interest rate.
The amendment was executed under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated June 4, 2014, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA acting as administrative agent and collateral agent, along with other participating lenders. Other terms and conditions of the new tranche K term loans remain substantially the same as those that applied prior to the amendment.
The company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol TDG.
