DMC Global Enters Agreement to Extend Timing of Put Option on Arcadia Products Business

DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today announced it has reached an agreement with its Arcadia Products, LLC (“Arcadia”) joint venture partners, the Munera family, that establishes September 6, 2026, as the earliest date DMC can be required to purchase the remaining 40% of Arcadia under the put option contained in Arcadia’s operating agreement. DMC acquired its 60% controlling interest in Arcadia on December 23, 2021. The put option would have otherwise become exercisable on December 23, 2024. DMC continues to have a right to acquire the remaining 40% of Arcadia pursuant to a call option that becomes exercisable on December 23, 2024.

James O’Leary, interim president and CEO of DMC, said, “This amendment to Arcadia’s operating agreement provides DMC with immediate and significant relief from the potential equity dilution and increased leverage that could have resulted from the near-term satisfaction of the put obligation. DMC now has the time and flexibility to further deleverage, explore strategic financing options, and stabilize and improve the performance of certain of its businesses that have been challenged by either cyclical downturns or poor operating performance.

“In particular, we are focused on restoring Arcadia to the operating levels that we and our joint venture partners expect from this excellent business. We will discuss discrete operating strategies and a simplified and significantly more focused strategic plan on our year-end earnings call to be held in early 2025. Prospectively, our strategies, tactics and activities will be focused on EBITDA growth, margin expansion and cash conversion.”
