Penguin Solutions Strengthens Balance Sheet with Refinancing

Business Wire26-06-2025
MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Penguin Solutions, Inc. ('Penguin Solutions' or the 'Company') (Nasdaq: PENG) today announced that it has completed a refinancing of its credit facilities via a $400 million Revolving Credit Facility, which includes a $35 million letter of credit subfacility (collectively, the 'Credit Facilities').
'This refinancing represents a significant financial milestone for the Company,' said Nate Olmstead, chief financial officer. 'As part of the transaction, the Company has meaningfully reduced leverage while also extending our overall debt maturity. This new financing provides future flexibility for the Company's capital needs and reduces debt service costs due to the lower funded debt following this transaction.'
The transaction refinances and replaces the $300 million Term Loan A Facility due 2027 and the $250 million Revolving Credit Facility due 2027 (collectively, the 'Existing Credit Facilities'). The Existing Credit Facilities were repaid and terminated in connection with the transaction. The Credit Facilities closed on June 24, 2025, and the Company borrowed $100 million under the new Revolving Credit Facility. The Company repaid in full the $300 million outstanding under the Existing Credit Facilities with a mix of the $100 million in borrowings under the Credit Facilities and $200 million in available cash, reducing the Company's funded debt by $200 million.
The Credit Facilities mature in 2030. Interest on the Credit Facilities will be based on a Total Net Leverage grid, with the initial interest rate being the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ('SOFR') plus 1.75%.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. led the transaction with BofA Securities, Inc., Citizens Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association, and Santander Bank, N.A. acting as joint lead arrangers and Fifth Third Bank, National Association, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA acting as co-documentation agents.
Additional information about this transaction can be found in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Why Five9 Stock Was Flailing on Friday

Key Points The company notched a double beat in its second quarter, but that wasn't good enough for the market. Investors seemed more concerned about a coming change in top management. 10 stocks we like better than Five9 › Contact center software solutions provider Five9 (NASDAQ: FIVN) has been having a forgettable Friday on the stock exchange. After the company published its latest set of quarterly results and announced a top-level managerial change, investors sold out of its stock to the point where it was down nearly 4% in late-session trading. That slide was notably more pronounced than the 1.7% decrease of the S&P 500 index. Double-digit improvements For its second quarter, Five9 posted a record-high revenue figure of over $283 million, which was 12% higher year over year. Artificial intelligence (AI) played a significant role in this, as the company's enterprise AI revenue advanced by 42% during the period. As for profitability, it also rose at a double-digit rate. Non-GAAP (adjusted) net income came in at over $58 million ($0.76 per share), well up from the nearly $39 million in the year-ago period. Analysts tracking the stock were expecting an adjusted net income figure of $0.62, on revenue of slightly more than $275. Five9 also proffered guidance for both its current (third) quarter and the entirety of 2025. For the latter period, it's modeling slightly over $1.14 billion to almost $1.15 billion for revenue, and adjusted net income ranging from $2.86 to $2.90 per share. The consensus analyst projections for the two metrics are a bit more than $1.14 billion and $0.70, respectively. Successful CEO is stepping down That double beat was good news, but this was obscured by the company's announcement that CEO Mike Burkland is retiring. He will stay in the job until a replacement is found. Burkland served as Five9's leader from 2008 to 2017, until he was diagnosed with cancer. He returned to the position in 2022. In its announcement of his departure, Five9 said that Buckland was at the helm of the company as it achieved notable milestones, and it credited him for growing it from $10 million to more than $1 billion in annual revenue. It's little wonder investors were displeased to hear of his looming departure. Do the experts think Five9 is a buy right now?

Why Roku Stock Took a Dive Today

Key Points Roku posted solid growth on the top and bottom lines, but investors were still unsatisfied with the report. After it surged through May and June, investors seemed to think the stock had run too high. Roku's losses are improving, but investors typically demand faster growth from an unprofitable company. 10 stocks we like better than Roku › Shares of Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) were tumbling today even though the leading streaming distribution platform topped headline estimates. Investors still seemed to find fault with key metrics in the quarter, as well as with its guidance and valuation. As a result, the stock was down 15.5% at 2:14 p.m. ET. Roku is moving in the right direction Roku is still losing money on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, but the company is making strides toward profitability. In the second quarter, Roku reported revenue of $1.11 billion, up 15% from the quarter a year ago, which was better than estimates at $1.07 billion. Revenue from devices was down 6% to $135.6 million, which could be a bad sign, as device sales help grow its customer base. Platform revenue, its core business, which is driven by advertising and subscription revenue share, was up 18% to $975.5 million. Streaming hours watched rose 17% to 35.4 billion, a positive trend for consumption. On the bottom line, the company showed improvement as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose 79% to $78.2 million. GAAP operating loss, meanwhile, narrowed from $71.2 million to $23.3 million. With the help of $28 million in other income from interest and strategic investments, Roku reported a GAAP per-share profit of $0.07, up from a loss in the quarter a year ago of $0.24 and better than estimates at a per-share loss of $0.16. Management credited its solid growth to "strong performance in video advertising and the successful acquisition of Frndly," as well as new ad tech integrations, including with Amazon. What's next for Roku Looking ahead, Roku expects $1.205 billion in revenue for the third quarter, or 13% growth, though that was ahead of the consensus at $1.17 billion. Its full-year revenue guidance of $4.65 billion was slightly below the average estimate at $4.66 billion. The company also announced a $400 million share buyback program. Overall, the results weren't the kind that typically lead to a double-digit decline. However, investors seem frustrated with Roku's operating losses and its valuation, considering it's expected to grow only in the low teens to midteens for the rest of the year. The stock soared in May and June, benefiting from the broader market recovery and its new ad partnership with Amazon. In that context, today's pullback seems to be more of a reset than a new trend in the stock. Should you buy stock in Roku right now? Before you buy stock in Roku, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Roku wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.

Align Technology (ALGN) Dives 37% on Lower Price Target, Pessimistic Rating

We recently published . Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALGN) is one of the worst-performing stocks on Thursday. Align Technology fell to a new low on Thursday as investors sold off positions after missing earnings expectations and earning a lower price target and pessimistic rating from an investment firm. In intra-day trading, Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALGN) dropped to its lowest price of $127.7 before slight buying pushed the company's share price higher to end the day just down by 36.63 percent at $129.01 apiece. This followed mixed earnings performance during the quarter that saw the company record a non-GAAP net income of $181.1 million, flat from last year. GAAP net income, on the other hand, amounted to $124.6 million, or 29 percent higher than the $93.2 million in the same period last year. Net revenues, on the other hand, dipped by 1.6 percent to $1.012 billion from $1.028 billion year-on-year. In other developments, Mizuho reduced its price target for Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALGN) to $210 from $245 previously, but maintained an 'outperform' rating for the stock. Mizuho's revision followed reports about June trends, which fell short of expectations, despite the company's hosting of an 'upbeat analyst meeting' in May this year. Pixabay/Public domain Additionally, the revision reflected the weaker-than-expected patient conversion rates despite iTero scans and Invisalign doctor case submissions appearing to remain on track. While we acknowledge the potential of ALGN as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
