Summary
Inotiv disclosed that its lenders agreed to waive the company's minimum liquidity covenant for two specific test dates in early May 2026. This waiver indicates the company did not have sufficient cash or liquid assets to meet the requirements of its credit facility on May 1 and May 8. The waiver is narrowly tailored to just these two dates and does not modify any other terms of the Credit Agreement.
For retail investors, this is a clear warning sign about the company's financial health. Liquidity covenants exist to ensure a borrower maintains adequate cash reserves, and needing a waiver suggests Inotiv is operating with thin cash margins. While the lenders granted relief this time, the company will need to meet the full liquidity requirements on all future test dates.
Watch for the company's next quarterly earnings report and any updates on cash flow, working capital, or additional covenant waivers. If Inotiv cannot improve its liquidity position, it may face more serious consequences including potential default or the need to renegotiate its credit facility on less favorable terms.

On May 4, 2026, the lenders under the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2021, among Inotiv, Inc., certain of its subsidiaries and the lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) granted a waiver of the minimum liquidity covenant under the Credit Agreement for the May 1, 2026 liquidity test date and the May 8, 2026 liquidity test date.
The company's lenders agreed to waive the minimum liquidity covenant requirement for two specific test dates in early May 2026.

The waiver was limited to such liquidity covenant for the indicated test dates, and none of the provisions of the Credit Agreement were amended thereby.
The waiver is narrowly scoped to only the liquidity covenant for the two specified test dates. No other terms of the Credit Agreement were changed or amended. This means the company remains subject to all other covenants and the same liquidity requirements for future test dates.
