MDC Partners Adds Debt Following Revenue Decline

By
Jim Edwards
(MoneyWatch)  MDC Partners is taking on $275 million in new debt at a time when its revenues are in decline, according to an SEC filing.

It's selling $200 million in debt due in 2016 in order to pay off a $45 million Canadian loan due in 2010. It's also adding "a new 5-year US$75 million revolving credit facility" to replace its $12 million revolver.

In addition to paying off old debts, the parent company of Crispin Porter + Bogusky and Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal + Partners will use the new cash for "for general corporate purposes."

On its Q2 2009 balance sheet, MDC recorded $233 million in short-term debt and $391 million in long-term debt. The company's revenues declined 14 percent to $135 million.
