Reworld Media successfully refinances bank debt
New extended maturity, controlled financial ratios, confidence reaffirmed
Transaction completed under excellent conditions
As part of the active management of its balance sheet, Reworld Media refinanced its financial debt with a pool of financial partners, comprising seven leading credit institutions (BNP Paribas, Société Générale, Banque CIC Est, Crédit Lyonnais, Banque Populaire Rives de Paris, Caisse d'Epargne Ile-de-France, and Bpifrance) and an asset management company (Arkéa Asset Management).
The €115m transaction provides for an extended maturity until 2032, securing the Group's medium-term financing.
Given the current state of the market, the refinancing was completed under attractive conditions, illustrating the quality of the Group's financial fundamentals and the relationship of trust maintained with its financial partners.
The transaction supports Reworld Media's financial resources and, thanks to the Group's controlled debt, strengthens its ability to continue developing, particularly as regards its digital model, the rollout of artificial intelligence to serve its customers, and growth in business activity outside France, which now accounts for 36.7% of revenue.
Sending a strong signal to the markets
The support of all the financial partners in this transaction sends out a positive signal to the market as to the quality of Reworld Media's business model. By supporting the Group over the long term, these partners confirm the relevance of the strategy implemented in the past several years consisting of a hybrid and highly digitised BtoB/BtoC model generating recurring cash flows and proving resilient in various market environments.
The Group's full-year 2025 results, published in March, show a solid operating performance, with consolidated EBITDA up 3% to €55.4m, an EBITDA margin up to 10.5%, and operating cash generation superior to EBITDA.
"This refinancing is a direct reflection of the trust that our financial partners place in the Reworld Media model and in our ability to meet our financial commitments. With a net debt ratio of 1.5x EBITDA and a strengthened cash position, we have a robust balance sheet structure and enhanced financial visibility to support our growth ambitions, particularly in digital, social, and artificial intelligence." -Anne-Cécile Balland, Chief Financial Officer.
