Holley Performance Brands' Enhanced Operational Performance and Recent Credit Upgrades Have Enabled an Amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, Creating a Covenant-Lite Capital Structure

Proactively Enters into an Amendment which Provides Improved Financial Flexibility

Holley Performance Brands (NYSE: HLLY) a leader in automotive aftermarket performance solutions, today announced the successful amendment of its senior secured revolving credit facility, effective December 4, 2024. This amendment was driven by operational improvements and recent credit upgrades.

The amendment includes a springing covenant of 5.0x total net leverage that is only tested when the revolver is drawn and extends the maturity date to November 18, 2029. Additionally, available borrowing under the revolver is updated to $100 million.

“We are pleased to announce an amendment to our revolver, enhancing Holley's financial flexibility to support our capital needs, thanks to our operational success and improved earnings and cash flow,” said Jesse Weaver, Chief Financial Officer of Holley. “Our improved operational performance combined with upgrades from S&P and Moody’s on our credit and debt ratings this year, allowed us to proactively amend our revolving credit facility. We are proud of the efforts taken to further reduce risk by replacing the current maintenance covenant with a springing covenant while also reducing refinancing risk by extending the maturity on the revolver through 2029. The amended terms provide us with further confidence as we deliver on our transformational initiatives and drive long-term value at Holley.”
