MT Newswires Live

Yesterday

Apollo Global Management (APO)-owned Michaels used $101 million of a more than $170 million tariff refund to repurchase debt, reducing net leverage to 4.8 times from 6.3 times a year earlier, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Michaels received more than $170 million in IEEPA tariff refunds, lifting preliminary Q2 adjusted EBITDA to $178 million from $104 million, versus about $94 million excluding the refund, according to the report.

The company used the refund to repurchase $101 million of its 11% second-lien notes, which traded at about 97 cents on the dollar Monday, Bloomberg added.

Apollo Global Management did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
