Bapcor Secures Lender Support to Temporarily Lift Leverage Covenant.

Bapcor Limited (ASX: BAP) has received approval from its lending syndicate to temporarily increase its Net Leverage Ratio covenant, providing additional balance sheet flexibility as the Company progresses through its turnaround program. Under the revised terms, the covenant has been lifted to 3.5 times adjusted EBITDA for the testing periods at 31 December 2025 and 30 June 2026, before reverting to the existing limit of 3.0 times thereafter.

Management noted that the amendment reflects ongoing lender confidence in Bapcor’s strategic and operational initiatives aimed at improving financial performance. The increased covenant headroom is expected to support near-term execution of restructuring and efficiency measures while maintaining compliance with debt obligations.

Chief Financial Officer Kim Kerr highlighted the continued backing of the lending group as an important enabler of the Company’s recovery efforts. Overall, the covenant relief strengthens Bapcor’s financial flexibility during a critical phase of its turnaround, while preserving the existing long-term leverage framework once performance stabilises.
