Syndicated Credit Agreement
On February 6, 2024, the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to its existing credit agreement with a syndicate of banks, led by KeyBank National Association (the “credit facility”). The First Amendment provided for certain changes to the credit facility and increased the maximum commitment amount from $200,000 to $300,000. The credit facility originally allowed for revolving loans of up to $200,000, a $50,000 term loan facility, and a $50,000 delayed draw term loan (“DDTL”) facility. On February 6, 2026, the ability of the Company to access the $50,000 DDTL facility expired per the terms of the First Amendment. The $50,000 term loan facility is payable in installments of $625 per quarter through March 31, 2026. Quarterly term loan payments increase to $938 on June 30, 2026, through March 31, 2028, and increase to $1,250 from June 30, 2028, through December 31, 2028. A balloon payment for the outstanding term loan balance is due upon the credit facility maturity date of February 6, 2029. The credit facility retains a $100,000 accordion feature to increase the commitments under the revolving loan and/or by adding one or more term loans subject to approval by the applicable lenders. The credit facility is secured by certain assets of DMC including accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets, including Arcadia Products and its subsidiary, as well as guarantees and share pledges by DMC and its subsidiaries. The revolving loan can also be used to issue bank guarantees to customers to secure their advanced payments. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, bank guarantees of $800 and $443, respectively, were secured.
Borrowings under the $200,000 revolving loan limit and $50,000 term loan can be in the form of Adjusted Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) loans or one month Adjusted Term SOFR loans. Additionally, U.S. dollar borrowings on the revolving loan can be in the form of Base Rate loans (Base Rate borrowings are based on the greater of the administrative agent’s Prime rate, an adjusted Federal Funds rate or an adjusted SOFR rate). SOFR loans bear interest at the applicable SOFR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 2.25% to 3.25%). Base Rate loans bear interest at the defined Base Rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.25%).
The credit facility includes various covenants and restrictions, certain of which relate to the payment of dividends or other distributions to stockholders; redemption of capital stock; incurring additional indebtedness; mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets; and maintenance of specified ratios.
The leverage ratio is defined in the credit facility as the ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the credit facility) on the last day of any trailing four quarter period to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit facility) for such period. The maximum leverage ratio permitted by our credit facility is 3.0 to 1.0; provided, however, that the Second Amendment (as defined below) provides for a temporary increase in the maximum leverage ratio under certain circumstances as described below.
The debt service coverage ratio is defined in the credit facility as the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA less the sum of capital distributions paid in cash (other than those made with respect to preferred stock issued under the Operating Agreement), Consolidated Unfunded Capital Expenditures (as defined in the credit facility), and net cash income taxes divided by the sum of cash interest expense, any dividends on the preferred stock paid in cash, and scheduled principal payments on funded indebtedness. Under our credit facility, the minimum debt service coverage ratio permitted is 1.25 to 1.0.
On June 10, 2025, the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries entered into an amendment to the credit facility (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment provided for certain changes to the credit facility, including modifications to
the Company’s financial covenants and applicable interest rates to assist with the possible acquisition of the remaining 40% minority interest in Arcadia Products. Key provisions of the Second Amendment include a temporary increase in the Company’s maximum leverage ratio to 3.5x adjusted EBITDA over the trailing 12 months — up from 3.0x — should either the Put Option or the Call Option be exercised. This elevated leverage limit will apply for the first two quarters following payment of the purchase price of the Put Option or the Call Option, followed by a reduction to 3.25x in the third quarter, and a return to 3.0x thereafter.
As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.
European Line of Credit
We maintain a line of credit with a German bank with a borrowing capacity of €7,000 for our NobelClad and DynaEnergetics operations in Europe. This line of credit is also used to issue bank guarantees to customers to secure their advanced payments. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit, and bank guarantees of €3,074 and €2,843, respectively, were secured. The line of credit bears interest at a EURIBOR-based variable rate which at December 31, 2025, was 6.93%. The line of credit has open-ended terms and can be canceled by the bank at any time.

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.
