2024 Debt Transactions

On February 29, 2024, the Company completed a private offering of $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% 2034 notes at an issue price equal to 100% of par value. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Facility and for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the issuance of the 6.375% 2034 notes, we incurred $12.8 million of various third-party fees and expenses. These costs have been recorded as a reduction to long-term debt and are being amortized over the contractual life of the 6.375% 2034 notes using the effective interest method.

2025 Debt Transactions

Notes Offering Transaction

On May 8, 2025, the Company completed a private offering of $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% 2035 notes at an issue price equal to 100% of par value. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

In connection with the issuance of the 6.75% 2035 notes, we incurred $11.1 million of various third-party fees and expenses. These costs have been recorded as a reduction to long-term debt and are being amortized over the contractual life of the 6.75% 2035 notes using the effective interest method.

Revolving Credit Facility Amendment

On May 20, 2025, the Company amended the Revolving Facility to, among other things, replace the existing revolving commitments of $1.8 billion with new revolving commitments of $2.2 billion, and to extend the maturity date to May 20, 2030.

In connection with this amendment, we expensed approximately $0.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to an exiting lender to interest expense, and we incurred approximately $8.7 million of new debt issuance costs which, together with the previous unamortized debt issuance costs, have been deferred and will be amortized over the remaining contractual life.

 

Revolving Credit Facility

As of December 31, 2025, the Revolving Facility provides for a $2.2 billion revolving credit line to be used for working capital, general corporate purposes and funding capital expenditures and growth opportunities. In addition, we may use the Revolving Facility to facilitate debt repayment and consolidation. The available borrowing capacity, or borrowing base, is derived from a percentage of the Company’s eligible receivables and inventory, as defined by the agreement, subject to certain reserves. As of December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Facility, and our net excess borrowing availability was $1.5 billion after being reduced by outstanding letters of credit of $79.6 million.

As of December 31, 2025, borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at our option, at either the SOFR or a base rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.00% to 1.25% per annum in the case of term SOFR loans and 0.00% to 0.25% per annum in the case of base rate loans. A commitment fee, currently 0.20% per annum, is charged on the unused amount of the Revolving Facility based on quarterly average loan utilization. Letters of credit under the Revolving Facility are assessed at a rate equal to 1.00% or 1.25%, based on the average excess availability, as well as a fronting fee at a rate of 0.125% per annum. These fees are payable quarterly in arrears at the beginning of January, April, July, and October.

All obligations under the Revolving Facility are guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and all other subsidiaries that guarantee our 5.00% 2030 notes, our 4.25% 2032 notes, our 6.375% 2032 notes, our 6.375% 2034 notes, and our 6.75% 2035 notes (such subsidiaries, the “Debt Guarantors”). All obligations and the guarantees of those obligations are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Debt Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, including, with respect to the Revolving Facility, a first-priority security interest in such assets that constitute Revolving Collateral (as defined in the Revolving Facility) and a second-priority security interest in such assets that constitute Notes Collateral (as defined in the Revolving Facility).

The Revolving Facility contains negative covenants which, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, engage in mergers or other fundamental changes, sell certain assets, pay dividends, make acquisitions or investments, prepay certain indebtedness, change the nature of our business, and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Revolving Facility also contains a financial covenant requiring the satisfaction of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio

of 1.00 to 1.00 if our excess availability falls below the greater of $165.0 million or 10% of the maximum borrowing amount, which was $160.7 million as of December 31, 2025.

The terms of the senior unsecured notes, subject to certain exceptions, are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by the Debt Guarantors. Subject to certain exceptions, future subsidiaries that guarantee the Revolving Facility or certain other indebtedness will also guarantee the senior unsecured notes.

Each tranche of the senior unsecured notes constitutes a senior unsecured obligation of the Company and the Debt Guarantors, pari passu in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company, including indebtedness under the Revolving Facility, and the senior unsecured notes. The senior unsecured notes are also (i) effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of the Company and the Debt Guarantors to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, (ii) senior to all of the future subordinated indebtedness of the Company and the Debt Guarantors, and (iii) structurally subordinated to any existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including preferred stock, of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior unsecured notes.

At any time on or after March 1, 2025, the Company may redeem the 5.00% 2030 notes at the redemption prices set forth in the applicable indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. If the Company experiences certain change of control events, holders of the 5.00% 2030 notes may require it to repurchase all or part of their 5.00% 2030 notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

The Company may redeem the other tranches of senior unsecured notes within five years from the date of issuance of each such tranche of notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of each such tranche of notes plus the “applicable premium” set forth in the applicable indenture. After the five-year period from original issuance, the Company may redeem each such tranche of notes at the redemption prices set forth in the applicable indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. If the Company experiences certain change of control triggering events, holders of each such tranche of notes may require it to repurchase all or part of their notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

Each of the indentures relating to the senior unsecured notes contains negative covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional debt or issue preferred stock, create liens, create restrictions on the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to make payments to the Company, pay dividends and make other distributions in respect of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ capital stock, make certain investments or certain other restricted payments, guarantee indebtedness, designate unrestricted subsidiaries, sell certain kinds of assets, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, and effect mergers and consolidations.

As of December 31, 2025, we were not in violation of any covenants or restrictions imposed by any of our debt agreements.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
