Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack ( PBY - Snapshot Report ) , on October 12th, announced the completion of the amended and restated term loan facility worth $200 million at LIBOR (with a floor of 1.25%) plus 3.75%, due October 11, 2018. The facility has been secured by 142 stores owned by the company. Pep Boys also swapped the interest rate on $100 million of this term loan facility to a fixed rate of 1.855% from the variable LIBOR portion of the interest payment.
The company will utilize the proceeds from the increased facility along with the cash in hand for the payment of $148 million of 7.5% senior subordinated notes due 2014. The remaining amount will be utilized to settle the outstanding interest rate swap of around $8 million.
The company reduced its long-term debt by $95 million, thus achieving its targeted long-term debt reduction of roughly $100 million. The company also reduced its annual interest expense by $11 million.
Pep Boys, in the second quarter of 2012 (ended July 28, 2012), recorded a significant increase in its profit (excluding merger termination fees and severance costs) to $76.7 million or $1.43 per share from $11.9 million or 22 cents in the prior-year comparable quarter. The results surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.28 per share.
Total revenues inched up 0.6% to $525.7 million from $522.6 million in the year-ago quarter, matching the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The growth was mainly driven by the improvement in the company’s service business.
