Johnston Press Resets Financial Covenants, To Refinance In 2014

Fri, 27th Dec 2013 10:53

LONDON (Alliance News) - Johnston Press PLC Friday said it has agreed with its lenders to reset its financial covenants through to the maturity of its debt facilities in September 2015.

The UK-based community media group said the decision provides the company with a stable financial position and it now intends to pursue a refinancing of these debt facilities in 2014.

The company said discussions regarding its refinancing are expected to commence in the new year and a further trading update will be provided in March 2014 along with the company's full year results for 2013.

Johnston Press achieved a like-for-like operating profit increase of 4.3% in the six months to June 2013, the first such increase in seven years, and by 7.8% in the 18 weeks to October 2013.

Johnston Press shares were trading flat at 14.5 pence Friday.
