Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility
On June 29, 2022, the Company, through a wholly-owned special purpose entity, Exact Receivables LLC (“Exact Receivables”) entered into an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Securitization Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), with a scheduled maturity date of June 29, 2024. The Securitization Facility required the Company to maintain minimum borrowings under the facility of $50.0 million. Upon the maturity of the Securitization Facility in June 2024, the Company repaid the previously outstanding balance of $50.0 million in full. The Securitization Facility provided Exact Receivables with a revolving line-of-credit of up to $150.0 million of borrowing capacity, subject to certain borrowing base requirements, by collateralizing a security interest in the domestic customer accounts receivable of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The amount available under the Securitization Facility fluctuated over time based on the total amount of eligible customer accounts receivable generated by the Company during the normal course of operations. The debt issuance costs incurred related to the Securitization Facility were not significant and were amortized over the life of the Securitization Facility through interest expense within the consolidated statements of operations.
In connection with the Securitization Facility, the Company also entered into two Receivables Purchase Agreements (“Receivable Purchase Agreements”) on June 29, 2022. The Receivable Purchase Agreements were among the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and between the Company and Exact Receivables. Under the agreements, the wholly-owned subsidiaries sold all of their right, title and interest in their accounts receivables to Exact Receivables. The receivables were used to collateralize borrowings made under the Securitization Facility. The Company retained the responsibility of servicing the accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral under the Securitization Facility and provided a performance guaranty.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had an outstanding balance of $50.0 million, which was included in debt, current portion on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Prior to the repayment, the outstanding balance accrued interest at a rate equal to a daily secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus a SOFR adjustment and an applicable margin. The interest rate was 6.89% as of the maturity date.
Revolving Loan Agreement
During November 2021, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement (the “Revolving Loan Agreement”) with PNC. The Revolving Loan Agreement provides the Company with a revolving line of credit of up to $150.0 million (the “Revolver”). The Revolver is collateralized by the Company’s marketable securities held by PNC, which must continue to maintain a minimum market value of $150.0 million. The Revolver is available for general working capital purposes and all other lawful corporate purposes. In addition, the Company may request, in lieu of cash advances, letters of credit with an aggregate stated amount outstanding not to exceed $20.0 million. The availability of advances under the line of credit will be reduced by the stated amount of each letter of credit issued and outstanding.
Borrowings under the Revolving Loan Agreement accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the sum of the daily Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index Rate plus the applicable margin of %. Loans under the Revolving Loan Agreement may be prepaid at any time without penalty. In October 2022 the Revolving Loan Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date from November 5, 2023 to November 5, 2025.
The Company has agreed to various financial covenants under the Revolving Loan Agreement, and as of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
In December 2021 and January 2023, PNC issued letters of credit of $2.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, which reduced the amount available for cash advances under the line of credit to $145.6 million and $147.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not drawn funds from, nor are any amounts outstanding under, the Revolving Loan Agreement. In January 2025, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement as discussed in Note 21, which replaced the Revolving Loan Agreement.Historical Timeline

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.
