CARTHAGE, Mo., March 25, 2024 ~ Leggett & Platt, a diversified manufacturer, has recently announced an amended agreement for its existing revolving credit facility. This move is aimed at providing the company with additional borrowing capacity and financial flexibility.

Under the terms of the amended agreement, Leggett & Platt has increased the leverage ratio under the financial covenant from 3.5x to 4.0x trailing 12-months adjusted EBITDA¹ through June 30, 2025. This ratio will then revert back to 3.5x as of September 30, 2025 and remain at that level until the facility's maturity date on September 30, 2026.

According to President and CEO Mitch Dolloff, this amended credit agreement reflects the company's commitment to maintaining its long-held financial strength. He also expressed confidence that this move will provide them with ample liquidity and flexibility as they navigate through weak demand in residential end markets in the near future.
