(1) In addition to this amount, costs of $0.9 million and $1.2 million related to asset backed credit facilities were recorded in other non-current assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We capitalized interest costs of $0.7 million, $1.2 million, and $1.3 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, related to construction in progress.
Term Loan Facility
On April 16, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent (the “Term Loan Agent”) for the Lenders (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). The Term Loan Credit Agreement establishes a new $128.0 million senior secured Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) consisting of (i) a $118.0 million of term loan funded in full on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Term Loans”) and (ii) $10.0 million of delayed draw term loan commitments (any delayed draw term loans funded thereunder, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”, and together, with the Closing Date Term Loans, the “Term Loans”). As of December 31, 2025, we had $11.4 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility and $26.7 million in undrawn commitments, as well as $10.0 million in delayed draw term loan commitments, which was fully drawn in January 2026. The Term Loans mature on April 16, 2030. We used the proceeds from the Closing Date Term Loan to repay all of our outstanding obligations under our outstanding term loan facility (see “2021 Term Loan” below).
Under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, interest rates on the Term Loans are determined based on the type of Term Loan, the length of the interest period, our Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement). The Term Loans currently bear interest at either: 1) one-month, three-month, or six-month term secured overnight finance rate (“SOFR”) with a credit spread adjustment, subject to a 2.00% floor, plus an applicable margin ranging from 8.75% to 9.75% based on our Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined herein) (“Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loans”); or 2) the greater of various benchmark rates, with certain adjustments, plus an applicable margin ranging from 7.75% to 8.75% based on our Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (“Base Rate Loans”). For interest payments due before April 16, 2027, we may elect to pay a portion of interest in-kind (“PIK Election”), subject to a minimum cash interest of 5.25% for Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loans and 4.25%
for Base Rate Loans. The applicable margin increases by 0.50% on borrowings to which the PIK Election is made. At December 31, 2025, the Term Loans bore interest, including amounts we have elected to pay as PIK interest, based on one-month Adjusted Term SOFR, at 13.57%.
On January 29, 2026, we borrowed $10.0 million on the Delayed Draw Term Loans. As a result of borrowing the Delayed Draw Term Loans, the applicable margin for all Term Loans increased by 0.50%. Through January 29, 2026, we incurred a 1.00% commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the Delayed Draw, payable quarterly in arrears.
Subject to certain exceptions, we are required to make principal payments (i) annually that are calculated as a percentage, based on our Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, of our Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement), (ii) Net Cash Proceeds (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) of certain non-ordinary course Dispositions (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) within 10 business days of receipt thereof, and (iii) Net Cash Proceeds from certain insurance events. We may voluntarily prepay the Term Loans, in whole or part without premium or penalty following April 16, 2027. If we voluntarily prepay borrowings prior to April 16, 2026, we are subject to a prepayment premium equal to the present value at the prepayment date of (i) 2.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans to be prepaid, plus (ii) all remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Term Loans through April 16, 2026 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to, but not including, the prepayment date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (determined as of the Business Day prior to such date of prepayment) plus 50 basis points. If we voluntarily prepay borrowings following April 16, 2026 and prior to April 16, 2027, we are subject to a prepayment premium equal to 2.00% of the principal amount prepaid.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, but not limited to, certain financial covenants, such as maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio and minimum Domestic Liquidity (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement), subject, in the case of the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio covenant, to certain equity cure rights. We were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Term Loan Facility as of December 31, 2025.
Our obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and are required to be guaranteed by certain of our later formed or acquired subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Our obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of our and the Guarantors’ assets. The Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Lenders, has a first lien on all domestic assets, other than accounts receivable and inventory, and certain foreign assets and has a second lien on domestic accounts receivable and inventory.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customer events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of covenants, cross acceleration to material indebtedness, bankruptcy-related defaults, judgment defaults, and the occurrence of certain change of control events. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Term Loan Credit Agreement will be entitled to take various actions, including the termination of any undrawn commitments and the acceleration of amounts due under the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The Term Loan Facility was issued at a $2.5 million discount and we capitalized an additional $0.7 million in debt issuance costs. These costs are recorded as a direct reduction to the carrying amount of the associated long-term debt and amortized over the term of the debt.
2021 Term Loan
On March 22, 2021, we entered into a $150.0 million term loan facility (as amended from time to time, the “2021 Term Loan Facility”) which required principal payments of $0.4 million with the remaining unpaid principal amount due at the original loan maturity date of September 22, 2026. On April 16, 2025, we repaid all of our outstanding obligations under the 2021 Term Loan Facility with the proceeds from the Closing Date Term Loans. The 2021 Term Loan Facility was collateralized by all of our assets and had a first lien on all domestic assets, other than accounts receivable and inventory and had a second lien on domestic accounts receivable and inventory.
Outstanding borrowings on the 2021 Term Loan bore interest at either: 1) one-month, three-month, or six-month term secured overnight finance rate (“SOFR”) with a duration adjustment (“Adjusted Term SOFR”), subject to a 1.000% floor, plus an applicable margin of 6.875%, or 2) the greater of various benchmark rates plus an applicable margin of 5.875%. Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, interest was increased on a paid-in-kind basis at a rate between 1.00% and 2.00% (“PIK interest”), dependent on our net leverage ratio for the most recently reported fiscal quarter and subject to reduction upon the occurrence of certain conditions as set forth in the credit agreement governing the 2021 Term Loan Facility. At April 16, 2025, the 2021 Term Loan Facility bore interest, including PIK interest, based on one-month Adjusted Term SOFR, at 12.300%.
The 2021 Term Loan Facility was issued at a $3.8 million discount and we capitalized an additional $5.5 million in debt issuance costs which were amortized over the term of the debt.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a $3.0 million loss on extinguishment in connection with the termination of the 2021 Term Loan Facility.
ABL Facility
On December 30, 2024, we entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement by and among the Company and PNC Bank National Association as lender and administrative agent (in such capacity, the “ABL Agent”) (as amended from time to time, including by the First Amendment to Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of April 16, 2025, the “ABL Credit Agreement”). The ABL Credit Agreement established a new $50 million senior secured asset backed credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) which provides for senior secured revolving loans (“Revolving Loan”) in the amount of $50.0 million, and permits the issuance of letters of credit thereunder subject to a $15.0 million sublimit. The availability under the ABL Facility is limited by a borrowing base calculation derived from accounts receivable and inventory held in the United States, less customary reserves and other items. The final maturity date of the ABL Facility is the earlier of: 1) December 30, 2029; or 2) 91 days prior to the loan maturity date of the Term Loan Facility.
Under the ABL Facility, Revolving Loans bear interest as either 1) one, three or six month SOFR plus 1.50%, plus an adjustment of 0.10% (“Term SOFR Rate”); or 2) the highest of the base commercial lending rate of the lender or various benchmark rates plus an applicable margin of 0.50% or 1.00%, depending on the benchmark (“Alternative Base Rate”). At December 31, 2025, based on a Alternative Base Rate, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility was 7.25%. We incur a commitment fee of 0.25% for unused capacity under the ABL Facility and a 1.85% fee on the amount of letters of credit outstanding. The final maturity date of the ABL Facility is the earlier of: 1) December 30, 2029; or 2) 91 days prior to the loan maturity date of the Term Loan Facility. We capitalized a total of $1.2 million in new debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility.
As of December 31, 2025, we had $4.7 million outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility, $11.4 million of outstanding letters of credit, and $26.7 million available for future borrowings under the ABL Facility.
The ABL Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, but not limited to, a financial covenants as to a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement). We were in compliance with the financial covenants of the ABL Facility as of December 31, 2025.
Our obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and are required to be guaranteed by certain of our later formed or acquired subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Our obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of our and the Guarantors’ assets. The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Lenders, has a first lien on accounts receivable and inventory.
The ABL Credit Agreement contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of covenants, cross acceleration to material indebtedness, bankruptcy-related defaults, judgment defaults, and the occurrence of certain change of control events. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement will be entitled to take various actions, including the termination of any undrawn commitments and the acceleration of amounts due under the ABL Credit Agreement.
Sale-Leaseback Transactions
In May 2025, we sold an additional property for a sales price of $4.3 million and concurrent with the sale, entered into a 19-year lease agreement with the purchaser for the property. In March 2024, we sold three of our properties for an aggregate sales price of $16.9 million and concurrent with the sale, we entered into a 20-year lease agreement with the purchaser for these properties.
Since these lease agreements allow for us to exercise renewal options that extend for substantially all of the remaining economic life, we have the ability to maintain the risks and rewards of ownership. Because the transactions did not transfer control of the assets, they cannot be accounted for as sales under ASC 606. As a result, the properties remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and the non-land assets will continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives. The $21.2 million of total gross proceeds from these transactions were recognized as financing obligations as a component of long-term debt. The monthly lease payments, which increase 3.00% each year, are being amortized as principal payments and interest expense through 2044 based on a weighted average effective interest rate of 9.17%. We incurred $0.9 million in debt issuance costs related to these transactions, which is being amortized over the term of the debt.
In June and July 2025, we sold additional pieces of manufacturing equipment for an aggregate sales price of $2.7 million and entered into 3 to 5-year lease agreements with the purchaser for the equipment. In March 2024, we sold multiple pieces of manufacturing equipment for an aggregate sales price of $4.9 million. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into a 5-year lease agreement with the purchaser that includes a repurchase option for this equipment. In May 2024, we sold additional pieces of manufacturing equipment for an aggregate sales price of $3.4 million and entered into 5-year and 6-year lease agreements with the purchaser for the equipment. Since these lease agreements allow for us to exercise a purchase option, we have the ability to maintain the risks and rewards of ownership. Since the transactions did not transfer control of the assets, they cannot be accounted for as sales under ASC 606. As a result, the assets remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and will continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives. The $11.0 million of total gross proceeds from these transactions were recognized as a financing obligation as a component of long-term debt. The monthly lease payments are being amortized as principal payments and interest expense on a weighted average effective interest rate of 8.26%.
International Loans
We have fixed rate debt with various financial institutions in France, Poland and China, with maturity dates between 2026 and 2033. These loans, which were obtained to fund working capital and equipment purchases, had a weighted average interest rate of 2.25% at December 31, 2025.

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.
