VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 2, 2025 (CNW Group via COMTEX) --
Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (TSX: CFX) announced today that it has closed an amendment to its existing operating loan facility.
Under terms of the amendment, the Company granted security to Canfor Pulp's lenders and obtained a waiver of its financial covenants for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025 (the "Covenant Relief Period"). During the Covenant Relief Period, the Company is subject to a minimum liquidity test of $10 million, effectively reducing its operating loan facility from $160 million to $150 million.
As at September 30, 2025, the Company was fully in compliance with all covenants, had $54 million of availability liquidity on a proforma basis, and had a net debt to total capitalization ratio of 45.3% as defined under the terms of its operating loan facility. As at December 1, 2025 the Company had approximately $38 million of available liquidity on a proforma basis, with weak global pulp markets continuing to weigh on the Company's financial position.
Following the Covenant Relief Period, the Company will continue to be subject to certain financial covenants, including a maximum net debt to total capitalization ratio of 55% and a minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") interest coverage ratio of 1.5 times, which is effective if the net debt to capitalization ratio exceeds 42.5%.
