CML calls fixed rate notes
On 3 April 2018, CML Group (CML) announced its intention to redeem AUD40m in total of fixed rate notes at the next call date of 18 May 2018.
The company has also secured an additional AUD80m funding, to take its institutional funding facility from AUD40m to AUD120m. This facility has a revolving 12 month term and the provider, ANZ has agreed to reduce the capital support requirement by 5% - this reflects reduction in other debt following refinance of the fixed rate notes. CML now has an additional AUD40m funding headroom to support business growth.
Following the redemption and refinance, CML’s cost of funds will reduce substantially. However, the company will have a near term one off write down of unamortised costs of AUD1.07m and a penalty for early repayment of AUD1.6m for redeeming the bonds early.
CML noted that integration of the recently acquired trade finance book is ahead of schedule and reaffirmed earnings guidance for FY18 EBITDA of AUD15.5m and FY19 EBITDA of AUD19.5m.
