Capstone Partners Advised Private Equity Sponsored Manufacturer of Branded Consumer Products on Securing ~$45 Million in Debt Financing

Capstone Partners advised a private-equity-sponsored company—which is a leading manufacturer of branded consumer products (the “Company”)—on a recently completed debt financing. The proceeds of the transaction were used to lower the Company’s capital costs by refinancing its existing higher-cost debt and provide for ongoing working capital purposes.

The Company’s branded products, which are sold worldwide via multiple channels including online, B2B, and through distributors, include some of the most highly respected brands in the skin care industry.

Brad Stewart, Managing Director in Capstone’s Debt Advisory Group, commented, “We thoroughly enjoyed working with the management team and the sponsor on this debt financing and are very pleased we were able to achieve their primary goal of lowering the Company’s cost of capital. The Company certainly had options for whom to engage as an advisor for this financing, and we are thrilled that the value-add proposition and the execution strategy we presented to them at the outset was proven out during our engagement. We look forward to being able to prove our value-add again to the sponsor for another portfolio company financing opportunity down the road.”
