The Company maintains a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a multi-currency $275.0 million revolving credit facility and U.S. dollar- and euro-denominated term loan facilities maturing in October 2027. In addition, the credit agreement provides for shorter-duration swingline loans. Borrowings under the revolving credit, swingline and term loan facilities bear interest at variable rates, based upon the applicable reference rate and including a margin percentage dependent upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as described below. At March 31, 2025, the weighted-average interest rate for revolving credit facility borrowings and the term loans was 5.8 and 5.4 percent, respectively. Based upon the terms of the credit agreement, the Company classifies borrowings under its revolving credit and swingline facilities as long-term and short-term debt, respectively, on its consolidated balance sheets.
At March 31, 2025, the Company’s borrowings under its revolving credit facility totaled $30.0 million and domestic letters of credit totaled $6.2 million. At March 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the swingline facility. As a result, available borrowing capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility was $238.8 million as of March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2024, the Company’s borrowings under its revolving credit and swingline facilities totaled $90.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
The Company also maintains credit agreements for its foreign subsidiaries. The outstanding short-term borrowings related to these foreign credit agreements totaled $9.3 million and $10.0 million at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Indebtedness under the Company’s credit agreement and Senior Notes is secured by liens on substantially all domestic assets. These agreements require compliance with various covenants that may limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness; grant liens; make investments, loans, or guarantees; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and make restricted payments, including dividends. In addition, the agreements may require prepayment in the event of certain asset sales.
Financial covenants within its credit agreements include a leverage ratio, which requires the Company to limit its consolidated indebtedness, less a portion of its cash balances, both as defined by the credit agreements, to no more than times consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other adjustments (“Adjusted EBITDA”.) The Company must also maintain a ratio of Adjusted EBITDA of at least three times consolidated interest expense. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.
The Company estimates the fair value of long-term debt using discounted future cash flows at rates offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated fair value, with the exception of the Senior Notes, which had an aggregate fair value of approximately $116.6 million and $120.9 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 4 for the definition of a Level 2 fair value measurement.

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.
