4.     CREDIT AGREEMENTS AND BORROWINGS

​

On December 31, 2018, we and our subsidiary Hurco B.V. entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as the lender, which was subsequently amended on each of March 13, 2020, December 23, 2020, December 17, 2021, January 4, 2023, and December 19, 2023 (as amended, the “2018 Credit Agreement”). The 2018 Credit Agreement provided for an unsecured revolving credit and letter of credit facility in a maximum aggregate amount of $40.0 million. The 2018 Credit Agreement provided that the maximum amount of outstanding letters of credit at any one time could not exceed $10.0 million, the maximum amount of outstanding loans made to our subsidiary Hurco B.V. at any one time could not exceed $20.0 million, and the maximum amount of all outstanding loans denominated in alternative currencies at any one time could not exceed $20.0 million. The scheduled maturity date of the 2018 Credit Agreement was December 31, 2025, and on that date, the 2018 Credit Agreement terminated in accordance with its terms.

​

In March 2019, our wholly-owned subsidiaries in Taiwan, HML, and China, NHML, closed on uncommitted revolving credit facilities with maximum aggregate amounts of 150 million New Taiwan Dollars and 32.5 million Chinese Yuan, respectively. As uncommitted facilities, both the Taiwan and China credit facilities were subject to review and termination by the respective underlying lending institution from time to time. In February and December 2023, NHML and HML, respectively, renewed the above-referenced credit facilities on substantially similar terms and identical maximum aggregate limits.

​

As of October 31, 2025, our credit facilities consisted of a €1.5 million revolving credit facility in Germany, the 150 million New Taiwan Dollars Taiwan credit facility, the 32.5 million Chinese Yuan China credit facility, and the $40.0 million revolving credit facility under the 2018 Credit Agreement. On December 31, 2025, the 150 million New Taiwan Dollars Taiwan credit facility, the 32.5 million Chinese Yuan China credit facility and the $40.0 million revolving credit facility under the 2018 Credit Agreement terminated in accordance with their terms.

​

We had no debt or borrowings outstanding under any of our credit facilities as of October 31, 2025, or December 31, 2025. As of October 31, 2025 we had an aggregate of approximately $51.2 million available for borrowing under our credit facilities.

​

On January 5, 2026, we entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as the lender (the “2026 Credit Agreement”). The 2026 Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit and letter of credit facility in a maximum aggregate amount of $20.0 million. The 2026 Credit Agreement provides that the maximum amount of outstanding letters of credit at any one time may not exceed $10.0 million, and the maximum amount of all outstanding loans denominated in alternative currencies at any one time may not exceed $20.0 million. Under the 2026 Credit Agreement, we are the borrower, and certain of our subsidiaries are guarantors. Our obligations under the 2026 Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our personal property and substantially all of the personal property of each subsidiary guarantor. The scheduled maturity date of the 2026 Credit Agreement is December 31, 2026.

​

Borrowings under the 2026 Credit Agreement bear interest at floating rates based on, at our option, either (i) a rate based upon the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate, the Euro Interbank Offering Rate, or another alternative currency-based rate approved by the lender, depending on the term of the loan and the currency in which such loan is denominated, plus 2.50% per annum, or (ii) a base rate (which is the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate or (c) the one month SOFR-based rate plus 1.00%), plus 1.50% per annum. Outstanding letters of credit will carry an annual rate of 2.50%.

The 2026 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including covenants (1) restricting us from making certain investments, loans, advances and acquisitions (but permitting us to make investments in subsidiaries of up to $10.0 million); (2) restricting us from making certain payments, including (a) cash dividends, except that we may pay cash dividends as long as immediately before and after giving effect to such payment, the sum of the unused amount of the commitments under the 2026 Credit Agreement plus our cash on hand is not less than $10.0 million, we are in pro forma compliance with the maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant as described below, and we are not in default before and after giving effect to such dividend payments and (b) payments made to repurchase shares of our common stock, except that we may repurchase shares of our common stock as long as we are not in default before and after giving effect to such repurchases and the aggregate amount of payments made by us for all such repurchases during any fiscal year does not exceed $10.0 million; and (3) requiring that we maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of total debt to EBITDA no greater than 2.00 to 1.00, with EBITDA defined as the greater of (i) consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed measurement period and (ii) $1.00. We may use the proceeds from advances under the 2026 Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes.

​

The maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant effectively prohibits us from borrowing any amounts under the 2026 Credit Agreement when our consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed measurement period is negative. As of the date we entered into the 2026 Credit Agreement, the most recently completed measurement period was our fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, during which our consolidated EBITDA was negative. In order to borrow in compliance with the maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant set forth above, we are effectively prohibited from borrowing under the 2026 Credit Agreement until we have positive consolidated EBITDA for our most recently completed four fiscal quarters.
