Cimpress Offers Senior Notes, to Use Funds for Repaying Debt

Read MoreHide Full Article

Cimpress plc (CMPR - Free Report) , on Feb 10, announced that it has initiated a private offering of Senior Notes (notes), per market conditions. As communicated by the company, the offerings comprise $200 million in total principal amount of its 7.0% notes set to mature in 2026.

Notably, the company will perform the offerings per terms of the indenture binding the notes as of Jun 15, 2018. It’s worth mentioning here that earlier Cimpress had offered another $400 million in total principal amount of its 7.0% notes due 2026.

Funds raised from the notes offering are likely to be used by Cimpress for repaying part of outstanding debt under its revolving credit facility apart from paying all related fees and expenditures.

We believe the offering will increase the company’s debts and in turn, might raise its financial obligations and hurt profitability. However, repayment of debts using the offering proceeds is likely to be a relief.

Solid Prospects

Cimpress has approximately $3.1 billion market capitalization. It is poised to benefit from acquired assets and solid products portfolio.
