Nautilus, Inc. (NYSE:NLS) today announced the closing of a new five-year $70,000,000 Senior Secured Credit Facility (“the Credit Facility”), consisting of a new $55,000,000 asset-based revolver and a $15,000,000 term loan with Wells Fargo Bank, NA (“Wells Fargo”). Nautilus, Inc. will use proceeds from the Credit Facility to refinance the existing $40,000,000 asset-based facility, pay transaction expenses, and for general corporate purposes.

Jim Barr, Chief Executive Officer, stated “Our new Credit Facility provides us with additional financial flexibility to capitalize on the strength of our brand portfolio and position us for sustainable profitable growth as a global technology-driven fitness company. Investing in our strategic initiatives, digital platform, connected fitness products, go-to-market capabilities and other market opportunities, will enable us to deliver new and exciting solutions for our customers wherever they are in their fitness journey.”

"We are very pleased to have partnered with Wells Fargo which is known for its vast experience in the consumer and retail sectors. Securing this financing package strengthens our balance sheet and provides increased liquidity and greater financial flexibility. This will allow us to strategically allocate capital to facilitate the execution of our long-term growth strategies as we continue to stabilize our business and return it to profitable growth,” said Aina Konold, Chief Financial Officer.

The $70,000,000 Credit Facility does not contain any financial performance covenants for the first two years of the facility except for a minimum liquidity covenant of $7,500,000. Beginning February 1, 2022, the minimum liquidity covenant shall decrease to $5,000,000 and only a minimum EBITDA covenant shall apply. Interest on the asset-based revolver shall accrue at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% - 2.25% (based on average quarterly availability) and interest on the term loan shall accrue at LIBOR plus 5.00%. The Credit Facility will have a five-year term maturing on January 31, 2025 and the term loan shall contain amortization as scheduled in the credit agreement.
