HomeToGo Secures €101M Nordic Bond to Boost Growth

HomeToGo SE has issued a €101 million senior secured Nordic Bond to enhance its capital structure and promote growth. This bond, with a five-year maturity and an interest rate of EURIBOR plus 7.75% annually, replaces a fast-amortizing bank loan, unlocking approximately €84 million in cash flow over two years.

The new financial strategy is aimed at reinforcing the company's capacity for high-return investments in organic growth, innovation, and strategic mergers and acquisitions. The bond issuance mitigates short-term refinancing risks and streamlines cash flow demands, providing HomeToGo with increased flexibility for future initiatives.

The proceeds will initially refinance the existing €75 million bank loan and cover deferred costs of €22 million from the acquisition of Interhome. The move is seen as a strategic step to bolster HomeToGo's B2B focus and profitability.
