09.12.24 12:13 Uhr

Global Blue Group Holding AG (the "Company”) has continued to deliver strong financial results with double-digit growth in revenue and profitability alongside strong cash flow generation in H1 FY2024/25. As a consequence, net leverage reduced from 3.4x in June 2024 to 2.9x in September 2024, and the Company continues to actively de-lever towards its long-term target of less than 2.5x. In light of this strong performance, the Company launched a repricing of its 7-year, €610 million senior secured term loan ("Term Loan”), and €97.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility ("Revolving Facility”).

The Company today announced that its subsidiary Global Blue Acquisition B.V. (the "Borrower”) has successfully allocated the repricing of the Term Loan and Revolving Facility. The repricing is expected to close on or prior to December 31, 2024. Upon closing, the interest rate margin applicable to the Borrower under the Term Loan will reduce by 50 basis points from 3.75% p.a. to 3.25% p.a.

Over the last twelve months, Global Blue has achieved a significant reduction in both net leverage and interest rate margin – reducing net leverage by approximately 2x to 2.9x and the Term Loan margin by 175 basis points to 3.25% p.a.
