CSW Industrials closes $650 million MARS Parts acquisition and refinances credit facilities

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

CSW Industrials completed its $650 million cash acquisition of MARS Parts, an HVAC/R parts and supplies business, on November 4, 2025, and entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that funds the deal with a new $600 million term loan and a $700 million revolving facility. The filing does not report earnings or guidance changes, but the deal adds debt that the company must service under leverage and interest coverage covenants.

Key points

  • Acquisition price is $650 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments, plus an earn-out of up to $20 million tied to gross sales targets in the year after closing
  • Company says the purchase price represents 10.4x pro-forma TTM EBITDA adjusted for synergies, or about 12.4x MARS Parts' estimated adjusted TTM EBITDA of $52.3 million
  • New $600 million Term Loan A matures in five years and amortizes 1.25% per quarter; the $700 million revolver's maturity was extended five years from November 4, 2025
  • Covenants require consolidated net leverage of no more than 3.50 to 1.00 and interest coverage of at least 3.00 to 1.00, tested quarterly

Written later: this filing was briefed after the fact, when past filings were added to the site, so the brief may be read with hindsight; the filing itself is the record of what was known on November 04, 2025.

Briefs are written by AI from the filing text (each brief's own page names the model) and can contain mistakes — open the filing before acting on anything. Impact (1-5) and tone are the model's reading of the filing for shareholders, not a price forecast. Not investment advice.
