S&P revised Fnac Darty's outlook to "stable" and confirmed its
BB+ Corporate rating, Successful renegotiation and extension of the
maturities of the undrawn RCF and DDTL
Ivry-sur-Seine, France, March 12, 2025
Standard & Poor's revised Fnac
Darty's outlook to "stable" and confirmed its BB+ Corporate
rating
Successful renegotiation and extension of
the maturities of the undrawn RCF and Delayed Drawn Term Loan
(DDTL) credit lines by two additional years to March
2030
Standard & Poor's revised Fnac Darty's
outlook to stable from negative and confirmed the Group's BB+
Corporate rating.
This revision is based on the back of the
Group's solid operating performance, the strengthening of its
competitive position, notably thanks to the acquisition of Unieuro,
and a prudent and controlled financial policy.
Fnac Darty also obtained unanimous approval from
its banks to extend the maturity of its RCF revolving credit line
and its DDTL credit line, for a combined amount of €600 million,
from March 2028 to March 2030, with the addition of two one-year
extension options, to March 2031 and March 2032, exercisable at the
Group's request and subject to lenders’ approval.
In addition, certain terms and conditions of
these credit lines have been amended, notably to reflect the
Group's new profile following the acquisition of Unieuro.
Neither credit line has been drawn down to
date.
Jean-Brieuc Le Tinier, Chief Financial
Officer of Fnac Darty, declared: “The revision of Fnac
Darty’s outlook by S&P from negative to stable reflects the
relevance of our Group’s transformation, strengthened by the
acquisition of Unieuro, and its financial strategy. The latter is
reinforced by the successful renegotiation of our undrawn credit
lines, which demonstrates the confidence of our banking partners
and the prudent and proactive management of the maturities of our
financing lines.”
