Mobile Infrastructure Completes $87.5 Million in Refinancings That Strengthen Its Financial Position and Increase Its Financial Flexibility
- Aligned debt with core asset values and extended maturities
- Added to cash on hand and released encumbrances on three parking assets
Mobile Infrastructure Corporation (NYSE:BEEP) ("Mobile", "Mobile Infrastructure" or the "Company"), a leading owner and operator of parking facilities across the United States, today announced the successful completion of $87.5 million in refinancing transactions. The transactions were completed with two separate loans at a weighted average interest rate of 7.69%, with various maturities between 2027 and 2034.
With the net proceeds obtained from these refinancings, Mobile repaid a secured loan with KeyBank Capital Markets, which had an outstanding principal balance of $48.8 million and an interest rate of 8.19%, and two additional loans secured by parking assets in Chicago, Illinois and Cincinnati, Ohio, with an aggregate principal balance of $31.3 million. Substantially all of Mobile Infrastructure's 2024 and 2025 debt maturities have now been extended.
"The completion of these transactions provides important financial flexibility as we work to advance our long-term growth strategy," said Stephanie Hogue, President of Mobile Infrastructure Corporation. "We have strengthened our balance sheet by extending our debt maturities and aligning them more closely with the intrinsic value of our key assets, while maintaining our leverage ratio at less than 55% Loan-to-Value. The addition of two new lending partners underscores the attractiveness of our asset portfolio and broadens our financial relationships and access to capital."
The Company also announced that it has successfully completed the buyout of a minority partner in one of its assets at an attractive valuation. "We can now more readily reposition this asset while reinvesting the cash it generates that previously would have been distributed to our partner. We will seek out similar opportunities in the future as we continue to assess and refine our asset portfolio," Ms. Hogue concluded.
The refinancing initiatives include a multi-asset Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) pool transaction, as well as the refinancing of a single-asset CMBS with a large regional bank. Both represent new relationships with lenders who can provide long-term capital.
These refinancing efforts are part of Mobile Infrastructure's ongoing commitment to optimize its capital structure and deliver value to shareholders. By extending debt maturities and aligning them with the Company's core asset values, Mobile Infrastructure is better positioned to execute its strategic initiatives and capitalize on future growth opportunities.
