Diebold confirms closing on $55M of additional liquidity

Diebold Nixdorf announced an amendment to its asset-based credit facility, or ABL, to add a new $55M first-in-last-out term loan tranche. Additionally, Diebold Nixdorf’s ABL lenders have agreed to certain other modifications and waivers to the ABL facility, allowing them to continue to work together collaboratively to develop an updated borrowing framework. The existing $250 million non-FILO ABL tranche commitments remain in place. "Diebold Nixdorf recently disclosed in its annual 10-K that, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, the company recorded $3.46 billion of revenue in 2022 and entered 2023 with a backlog of approximately $1.47 billion – demonstrating strong demand for its Banking and Retail solutions, specifically ATMs and self-checkout products. Also, the company recently released a brief financial update that shows the company is exhibiting strong performance and is on track to achieve its first quarter 2023 revenue target. ATM and SCO shipments are expected to increase in the first half of 2023 by approximately 14% and 51%, respectively, compared to the first half of last year. At this time, expected 2023 first quarter revenue of approximately $835 million would represent about 6% growth compared with the same period last year," the company stated. Octavio Marquez, Diebold Nixdorf chairman, president and CEO, said: "We are pleased to have secured the FILO loan to provide financing for our near-term priorities. We will continue to partner with our lenders to develop long-term improvements to our capital structure which will better support our operating model and the cycles of our business. We continue to take steps to improve our business by becoming more agile and better equipped to navigate global macroeconomic impacts. Our solution set is as robust as it ever has been, and we intend to accelerate our leadership in core areas to deliver profitable and sustainable growth."
