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 a variable rate, based upon the applicable reference rate and including a margin percentage dependent upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as described below.  At June 30, 2023, the weighted-average interest rates for revolving credit facility borrowings and the term loans were 6.3 and 6.4 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 June 30, 2023, the Company’s borrowings under its revolving credit and swingline facilities totaled $3.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively, and domestic letters of credit totaled $5.5 million.  As a result, available borrowing capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility was $258.3 million as of June 30, 2023. At March 31, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under these facilities.

The Company also maintains credit agreements for its foreign subsidiaries.  The outstanding short-term borrowings related to these foreign credit agreements totaled $3.7 million at March 31, 2023.  There were no short-term borrowings related to these agreements at June 30, 2023.

Indebtedness under the Company’s credit agreement and Senior Note agreements is secured by liens on substantially all domestic assets.  These agreements further 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 require 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 three and one-quarter 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 June 30, 2023, 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 June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, 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 $125.9 million at each reporting date.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.  Refer to Note 3 for the definition of a Level 2 fair value measurement.
