DENVER - Ibotta, Inc., a $2.33 billion market cap company specializing in advertising services, announced on Monday that it has entered into a new $100 million credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., marking a significant financial move for the firm.
According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a "GREAT" financial health score, positioning it well for this new credit facility. The agreement, effective since last Thursday, also led to the termination of a previous credit arrangement with Silicon Valley Bank.
Under the terms of the new credit agreement, which is set to mature on December 5, 2029, Ibotta has access to revolving commitments totaling $100 million. This includes a $10 million sub-facility for letters of credit and an equal amount for swingline loans.
The company's obligations are secured by a lien on all of its assets, and the agreement includes provisions for requesting up to an additional $100 million in incremental revolving commitments. With a strong current ratio of 2.72 and minimal debt-to-equity ratio of 0.01, Ibotta demonstrates robust financial flexibility.
Interest rates for loans under this agreement will vary. They will be based on either a Base Rate or a SOFR rate, plus an applicable margin that fluctuates between 0.75% to 1.25% for Base Rate Loans and between 1.75% and 2.25% for Term SOFR Loans. This will depend on Ibotta's Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio. Additionally, the company will pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.40% on the undrawn amounts.
Ibotta, which has not borrowed any funds under this credit facility at the time of closing, intends to use the proceeds from any future borrowings for general corporate purposes.
Concurrent with the new credit agreement, Ibotta terminated its existing credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, which had been amended several times since its inception on November 3, 2021. With this termination, Ibotta has no remaining obligations under the former agreement.
The details of the new credit agreement will be included in Ibotta's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024. This strategic financial restructuring is part of Ibotta's ongoing efforts to optimize its capital structure and support its business operations, which generated $368.55 million in revenue over the last twelve months with an impressive 87.17% gross profit margin.

This news is based on information from a recent SEC filing by Ibotta, Inc.
In other recent news, Ibotta Inc. reported its third-quarter results for 2024, exceeding expectations due to robust performance in third-party partner promotions, despite a decrease in direct-to-consumer revenue.
However, the company's rapid use of its 2024 advertising budget has led to projections of lower fourth-quarter revenue and EBITDA. Ibotta's investments in enhanced measurement and targeting tools are anticipated to drive growth in advertising budget allocations for 2025.
Analysts have adjusted their outlooks on Ibotta in light of these developments. Citi reduced the stock's price target to $82 from $95, while maintaining a Buy rating. Needham also adjusted its price target for Ibotta to $80, maintaining a Buy rating, despite a cautious stance on the anticipated demand from the recent CART launch. UBS downgraded its rating from Buy to Neutral and lowered its price target to $65, citing concerns about advertiser budget growth.
In contrast, Goldman Sachs upgraded Ibotta to Buy, citing a compelling valuation and risk/reward balance. The company also initiated a $100 million share repurchase program, signaling potential future growth.
Despite near-term challenges, analysts remain optimistic about Ibotta's growth trajectory, highlighting a significant year-to-date increase in consumer packaged goods billings, which are up by 65%.
