Singing Machine Secures $2 Million Senior Credit Facility
03 April 2024 - 10:00PM
The Singing Machine Company, Inc. (“Singing Machine”) (NASDAQ:
MICS) – the worldwide leader in consumer karaoke
products, today announced the closing of a $2 million senior credit
facility with Oxford Commercial Finance, a subsidiary of Oxford
Bank. The credit facility has a 2-year term and is intended to
support the funding of accounts receivable generated from ongoing
sales.
The Company has historically financed both
accounts receivable and inventory working capital needs through a
combination of working capital lines of credit with various senior
lenders. The Company primarily relies on a financing program
available through an early pay platform with C2FO to fund accounts
receivable without any dollar limitations. This is an ongoing
financing arrangement that the Singing Machine has maintained since
2009. This program specifically enables the Company to accelerate
the majority of its receivables due from select domestic retail
partners. The Oxford credit facility is intended to expand the
financing on receivables that are not already approved for
accelerated payments through the C2FO program.
“We’re pleased to close this line of credit with
Oxford, which provides the Company with expanded options for
funding receivables with more of our retail customers to support
our working capital needs,” commented Gary Atkinson, CEO of the
Singing Machine. “By utilizing a hybrid approach with the early pay
program with C2FO and a traditional accounts receivable line of
credit with Oxford, we have expanded our receivables financing to
almost all of our domestic customers while still maintaining a
lower cost, more flexible form of accounts receivable
financing.”
“This facility is well within prevailing markets
rates in terms of cost of capital and carries no financial
covenants. We see this as one of the most flexible funding options
available to us today, and we were pleased to complete the
transaction with minimal cost during the process,” concluded Mr.
Atkinson.
