Deferred Financing Costs—Costs relating to debt issuance have been deferred and are presented as discounted against the underlying debt instrument. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the underlying debt instruments. The amortization of deferred debt issuance cost to interest expense was $1.4 million, $0.7 million, and $0.5 million, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

2025 Credit FacilityOn February 26, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement providing for a $500.0 million credit facility comprised of a $200.0 million term loan and a $300.0 million revolving line of credit (2025 Credit Facility). The revolving line of credit under the 2025 Credit Facility includes a $20.0 million sublimit for the issuances of letters of credit. Subject to certain exceptions, all amounts under the 2025 Credit Facility will become due on February 26, 2030. The Company has the option to borrow incremental term loans, or request an increase in aggregate commitments under the revolving line of credit up to an aggregate amount of $200.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The Company used proceeds from the 2025 Credit Facility to repay in full its prior senior secured credit facility originally entered into in 2021. The resulting write-off of the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs from the prior credit facility amounted to $0.9 million. Total loss on debt extinguishments is recorded in interest expense-net within the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The 2025 Credit Facility term loan must be repaid in quarterly installments and shall amortize at a rate of 1.25% per quarter beginning December 31, 2025 through December 31, 2029, with final payment and amortization on February 26, 2030.

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.
