DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
In 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement with PNC as the administrative agent and sole lender, which has been amended and restated as discussed below.
In 2023, as previously disclosed, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") that provided for, among other things, a three-year unsecured revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of up to $250.0 million ("Revolver"). Included in the Revolver is a $20.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit and a $35.0 million sublimit for swingline loans, each subject to certain conditions.
On October 2, 2025, as previously disclosed, the Company, in the ordinary course of business, amended the Credit Agreement, increasing the borrowing capacity of the Revolver to $350.0 million, and extending the maturity date three years through October 1, 2028, which would have otherwise matured on February 21, 2026. All other sub-limits under the amended Credit Agreement remain the same. Funds are available under the Revolver for working capital, capital expenditures, and other lawful corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, acquisitions and common stock repurchases, subject in each case to compliance with certain financial covenants, as defined in the amended Credit Agreement.
The obligations of the Company under the amended Credit Agreement are not secured, but are subject to certain covenants. The amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and certain covenants that place certain limitations on the Company. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no balance outstanding on the Revolver. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
The Company's subsidiary, VOXX, which was acquired on April 1, 2025 (see Note 11, "Acquisitions"), has a loan agreement with the shareholders of its joint venture in Onkyo). The loan balance outstanding at December 31, 2025, was $3.8 million and is included in Short-term debt on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, representing the portion of the loan payable to the joint venture partner. All amounts outstanding under the loan will mature and become payable on September 8, 2031. The loan may be prepaid subject to the approval of the board of directors of the joint venture and must be repaid if either a put or call option is exercised in accordance with the joint venture agreement. The rate of interest for the shareholder loan is 2.5% and the loan is secured by a second priority lien on all assets of Onkyo.

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.
