Fox Factory completed the sale of Marucci Sports for an enterprise value of $225 million, using the deal to cut debt and lower interest costs.
The company received $200 million in cash at closing and applied the full amount to reduce borrowings under its credit facility. It also will receive a $25 million unsecured subordinated convertible note, due Dec. 31, 2026, which is expected to be used to further reduce debt when paid.
The transaction reduced Fox’s net leverage from 3.7 times to about 2.7 times, based on the company’s credit agreement calculations. Annualized interest expense fell by about $16 million immediately, with the total reduction expected to reach about $17 million once the remaining $25 million is received and applied.
Fox said it incurred about $7.5 million in transaction-related costs, which it plans to cover separately with cash on hand.
The sale closes a strategic review that began in February 2026. During that process, Fox and its advisors contacted more than 80 potential buyers and received 15 indications of interest before choosing the deal. The market has reacted to these announcements by moving the company's shares -0.75% to a price of $18.52. For the full picture, make sure to review FOX FACTORY HOLDING CORP's 8-K report.
