Revisions to mezzanine debt finance

Decmil altered its debt agreements with PURE Asset Management and the Franco Group-controlled Horley Pty Ltd. These lenders provided Decmil with a mezzanine loan to lower the coupon rate and lengthen the loan maturity financing of AU$20 million.

According to Heale, Decmil's solid long-term outlook is reflected in the improved loan conditions, which also increase financing security as Decmil grows its order book with new, superior contract awards.

The company's order book currently stands at AU$600 million, its best position since 2019.
