McGill and Partners has reported organic revenue growth of more than 20% in H1 2025 and a significant increase of 79% in adjusted EBITDA, against H1 2024.
This new strategic refinancing follows the announcement, at the end of last year, that McGill and Partners was one of the companies selected by Warburg Pincus for inclusion in its first-ever multi-asset continuation fund.
“This refinancing represents another significant step in McGill and Partners’ ongoing growth and evolution, enabling long-term lender support at conservative levels of leverage and making significant returns available to eligible shareholders via a dividend recapitalisation,” the firm said of its new credit facilities.
McGill and Partners noted that the financing, arranged with those mentioned leading private credit market participants, will provide a more flexible, long-term capital structure that reflects the firm’s maturity and strengthens its strategic positioning.
“The new arrangement comprises a senior facility, an acquisition facility to support further investment in talent and technology (including AI), and a revolving credit facility. In combination with the existing funding capacity from Warburg Pincus, the new facility underscores the firm’s continued growth and supports its long-term financial objectives,” McGill and Partners added.
Steve McGill, Chief Executive Officer of McGill and Partners, commented, “I am immensely proud of what we have achieved in just six years. The business continues to deliver significant growth and we have reached a level of maturity that means we have more flexible and attractive financing options available to us to support our future ambitions.”
“We stand apart from others in the sector as a global specialty firm built organically, with a client-centric, single P&L, a unique culture, a state-of-the-art and fully integrated platform, and market-leading revenue growth.
“It is these differentiators, coupled with the new financing arrangement, that will deliver exceptional client value and allow all our colleagues to reap the benefits of our collective endeavours as the business continues to thrive and deliver on its growth potential.”
James O’Gara, Managing Director at Warburg Pincus, said, “Over the past six years, McGill and Partners has evolved from a start-up challenger to an established player, winning share by delivering for its global clients and talent base. Notably, Steve and the wider team have done it the hard way – purpose-building the business from scratch.
“The reward is a truly differentiated firm, with a singular culture, unique technology-led approach and an integrated platform poised to continue its impressive organic growth track record.
“This refinancing is another positive milestone in that journey; both reflecting the great progress to date, as well as giving the business renewed firepower, in conjunction with our support, to pursue its unique talent acquisition strategy. We are tremendously proud of what the team has accomplished, and enthusiastic about their continued potential from here.”
