Goeasy Secures Funding, But Faces Strained Outlook for LendCare -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-24 22:47

1047 ET - Goeasy's amended financing terms offer only limited relief, according to Graham Ryding of TD Cowen. The analyst says covenant waivers and revised terms on the revolver and securitization facility help the company manage its unusually large 4Q/25 charge-offs, but "funding for LendCare [secured loans] going forward looks compromised given these originations will be excluded now from the revolving credit and securitization facilities." Meanwhile the auto-loan securitization facility has been suspended, forcing receivables back onto Goeasy's balance sheet. Liquidity is at C$983 million, though most isn't accessible until mid-year, while a US$65 million note matures in May. Overall, Ryding says the agreements "provide some short term funding relief, but the outlook for funding LendCare looks compromised." (adriano.marchese@wsj.com)
