Casas Bahia, a Brazilian retailer founded by Samuel Klein, has filed for judicial recovery with debts of R$ 17.3 billion. The company is seeking R$ 1 billion in debtor-in-possession financing (DIP) and plans to use mechanisms to release judicial deposits and renegotiate tax liabilities to improve its liquidity. Casas Bahia expects to free up around R$ 2.5 billion in cash over the next year through these measures, but needs R$ 1 billion immediately to restock and adjust its operations.
The company has closed 298 unprofitable stores and laid off over 3,000 employees, aiming to achieve annual cost savings of around R$ 2 billion.
