Janus International Reprices First Lien Term Loans, Lowers Margins
What Happened
- Janus International Group, Inc. filed an 8-K on February 2, 2026 disclosing Amendment No. 8 to its First Lien Credit and Guarantee Agreement (originally dated February 12, 2018). The amendment (the “Repricing Amendment”) lowers the interest rate margins on the Company’s First Lien term loans by 50 basis points.
- After the amendment, margins are 1.00% for term loans tied to the base rate and 2.00% for term loans tied to the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR). The amendment names Goldman Sachs Bank USA (as successor to UBS AG, Stamford Branch) as administrative and collateral agent and involves Janus Intermediate, LLC and Janus International Group, LLC.
Key Details
- Date of filing and amendment: February 2, 2026 (Amendment No. 8).
- Margin reduction: decreased by 50 basis points to 1.00% (base-rate loans) and 2.00% (SOFR-based loans).
- Parties: Janus Intermediate, LLC and Janus International Group, LLC; administrative/collateral agent is Goldman Sachs Bank USA (successor to UBS AG, Stamford Branch).
- Disclosure items: Item 1.01 (material definitive agreement), Item 2.03 (affects a direct financial obligation), and Item 7.01 (press release issued). The amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1; a related press release is Exhibit 99.1.
Why It Matters
- The repricing should lower the company’s interest expense on its First Lien term loans, which can modestly improve cash flow and profitability assuming other terms remain unchanged.
- This is a refinancing/pricing change to existing debt rather than issuance of new debt or disclosed covenant changes; investors should watch future results for the realized impact on interest expense and free cash flow.
