What the filing says
Blue Bird closed a new $600M senior secured credit facility (replacing prior $250M facilities) consisting of a $300M revolver and $300M delayed draw term loan. The deal extends maturity from November 2028 to September 2031, lowers interest rate margin from SOFR+175-325bps to SOFR+125-225bps, and increases available liquidity to $670M+. Bank of Montreal led a syndicate including Bank of America, CIBC, Fifth Third, Regions, and TD Bank.
Why this rating
Refinancing more than doubles borrowing capacity ($250M→$600M), materially improves debt terms and extends maturity 3+ years. At ~60% of market cap, structural improvement to balance sheet and operational flexibility is meaningful but not transformational given stable business model.
