Cardinal Infrastructure secures $250M delayed draw term loan and boosts revolving credit to $100M

Cardinal Infrastructure Group's construction subsidiary, Cardinal Civil Contracting, has secured a $250 million delayed draw term loan facility and expanded its revolving credit line from $75 million to $100 million through a Second Amendment to its Credit Agreement with Truist Bank. The delayed draw facility can be accessed in up to five separate advances over 18 months from the 10 September 2026 effective date. The amendment requires the borrower to maintain a Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio of no greater than 1.60 to 1.0 and Consolidated EBITDA of at least $125 million for the twelve months ended 30 June 2026. The expanded credit capacity provides Cardinal Infrastructure significant liquidity for potential acquisitions, project investments, or operational needs.

SouthState beats Q2 EPS estimates by 2.4% as non-performing assets fall 14%

SouthState reported second-quarter results showing robust loan and deposit growth with stable margins. Revenue reached $672.7 million, slightly below analyst estimates of $674.1 million, while adjusted earnings per share of $2.35 beat expectations of $2.29. CEO John Corbett highlighted that the company expanded its commercial banking sales force by over 10% in the past three quarters. Non-performing assets declined by 14%, reflecting improved credit quality. During the earnings call, analysts questioned net interest margin trends, deposit mix dynamics, and expense management amid increased hiring. CFO Steve Young indicated stable guidance assuming mid- to upper-single-digit growth with flat rates. The company expects 4% expense growth, supported by deferred origination costs offsetting compensation increases. SouthState also announced plans to test new correspondent banking products for a 2027 rollout.
