Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you provide insight into your long-term debt to EBITDA ratio target and M&A strategy? A: Richard Bunch, CEO, explained that TWFG is comfortable with a 1x to 3x debt to EBITDA ratio for transformational opportunities. Currently, they have sufficient cash and credit facilities, so they don't foresee reaching that ratio soon. They are open to both small tuck-ins and larger, lumpier acquisitions as opportunities arise.
