Tepid demand and underperformance have weighed on WSC's stock price. We believe shareholders may have only just begun to pay the price for favoring financial engineering over operations.
So this is mostly about the assumption that those decrepit units (that you do not quantify in nominal or % numbers) are needed for their debt funding ? To me it just looks like its cheaper to let them rot than to recycle them and theyre gonna be close to 0 on the balance sheet. https://x.com/bmb21/status/1979184060434911317/photo/1 the ABL is extended, the interest coverage isnt amazing but why on earth is this a 0 ? 250M Interest expense | 590M OCF | 250M CAPEX | 680M EBITDA
WSC has an asset based loan. Those decrepit units are supposed to generate income to repay the debt. They cannot. The earnings capacity of those assets are less than the value of the debt.
The extension allows the lenders to avoid a First Brands event for the time being, but it does not change the economic facts.
