American Tire Distributors Withdraws IPO

ATD Withdraws IPO

ATDlogoATD withdrew its plans for an initial public offering on March 23, according to NASDAQ.

The company originally filed in June 2014 for an IPO that was expected to raise $500 million or more.

In February 2015, TPG sold about half of its 94% stake in ATD to Ares for $620 million. At the same time, it issued $805 million in bonds to refinance $425 million in 11.5% 2018 notes and pay a $370 million dividend to TPG, said NASDAQ.

ATD recently announced a $94.6 million deficit for fiscal 2014, despite increasing sales by 31%.

The company also had an operating loss of $407,000, which it attributed to triple-digit increases in management fees and transaction expenses.

The company’s 2014 sales jumped to just over $5 billion based on eight acquisitions that added $993.7 million to revenue, said the company.

ATD’s net loss was 15 times greater than its fiscal 2013 deficit, according to the firm’s figures, despite $53.7 million in tax benefits.
