Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc., the largest McDonald's franchisee in the world and Latin America's biggest restaurant chain, announced a new debt transaction aimed at increasing the efficiency of its capital structure. The company’s Brazilian subsidiary recently secured $150 million in bank debt due in 2029, with an estimated U.S. dollar cost of 2.53% after entering into derivative instruments to manage interest rate and currency exposure. Proceeds from this new debt will fund a tender offer for up to $150 million of Arcos Dorados’ 6.125% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2029. If fully accepted, the transaction is expected to reduce the company’s average U.S. dollar cost of long-term debt by approximately 55 basis points, without significantly affecting debt maturity, currency exposure, or net financial leverage.
