IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alorica Inc., a fast growing and trusted global leader in next-generation customer experience (CX) solutions, today announced it closed a refinancing led by Cerberus Business Finance, LLC, and its affiliates (“Cerberus”). Through a directly negotiated transaction, Alorica received a $725 million senior secured term loan, alongside an upsized $300 million ABL facility provided by a syndicate of banks. The comprehensive refinancing optimizes Alorica’s financial position and growth potential through market, business, product, technology and talent investments.
The refinancing affords additional liquidity and strategic flexibility to advance growth imperatives as the company accelerates demand for its CX solutions. Since 2020, Alorica has organically grown its revenues by 23% and EBITDA by 50+%, and is continuing its expansion by adding global talent, in-market delivery, and onboarding clients across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), India, Philippines, North America, Latin America and the Caribbean. In Q1, the digital CX provider announced launches in Łódź, Poland and Cairo, Egypt.
