Debt and Credit Facilities

On December 20, 2022, we entered into a $1.075 billion unsecured credit facility with a group of lenders (the “2022 Credit Agreement”), replacing our previous credit facilities. The 2022 Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on December 20, 2027 and has a $100.0 million maximum limit for the aggregate amount of letters of credit issued.

Revolving credit loans drawn under the 2022 Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at (i) the Base Rate (the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, or (c) the one-month Term SOFR plus 1.10%), plus a margin ranging between 0.125% and 0.750%, or (ii) Term SOFR plus 0.10% and a margin ranging between 1.125% and 1.750%. Swingline loans drawn under the 2022 Credit Agreement bear interest at the Base Rate, as defined above, plus a margin ranging between 0.125% and 0.750%. The 2022 Credit Agreement also requires us to pay quarterly (i) a letter of credit commission on the daily amount available to be drawn under such standby letters of credit at rates ranging between 1.125% and 1.750% per annum and (ii) a nonrefundable commitment fee on the average daily unused amount of the commitment at rates ranging between 0.125% and 0.250% per annum. The margin, letter of credit commission, and commitment fee rates are based on our ratio of net funded debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). There are no scheduled principal payments due on the 2022 Credit Agreement until the maturity date, and interest is payable in arrears at periodic intervals not to exceed three months. In July 2023 and April 2024, we entered into additional variable-for-fixed interest rate swap agreements for notional amounts of $130.0 million and $75.0 million, respectively, to further limit our exposure to increases in interest rates on a portion of our variable-rate indebtedness (see Note 11, Subsequent Event, for additional information regarding the April 2024 swap agreement).

On June 30, 2021, we entered into a $100.0 million unsecured fixed-rate term loan commitment with BMO Harris, with quarterly principal payments of $1.25 million and a final payment of principal and interest due and payable on May 14, 2024 ("BMO Term Loan"). We are currently planning to repay the remaining outstanding principal balance under the BMO Term Loan in May 2024 using proceeds from the 2022 Credit Agreement. The outstanding principal balance of the BMO Term Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.28%, payable quarterly in arrears.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our outstanding debt totaled $597.5 million and $648.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, we had an outstanding revolving credit loan balance of $510.0 million under the 2022 Credit Agreement, including (i) $230.0 million at a variable interest rate of 6.67%, (ii) $150.0 million which is effectively fixed at 2.88% with interest rate swap agreements through May 2024, (iii) $40.0 million which is effectively fixed at 6.20% with interest rate swap agreements through July 2025, and (iv) $90.0 million which is effectively fixed at 5.87% with interest rate swap agreements through July 2026. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, in April 2024, we borrowed an additional $30.0 million under our revolving line of credit. Our total available borrowing capacity under the 2022 Credit Agreement was $559.1 million as of March 31, 2024, after considering $5.9 million in stand-by letters of credit under which we are obligated. In addition, as of March 31, 2024, we had $87.5 million outstanding under the BMO Term Loan at a fixed interest rate of 1.28%.

Availability of such funds under the current debt agreements is conditional upon various customary terms and covenants. Such covenants include, among other things, two financial covenants requiring us (i) not to exceed a maximum ratio of net funded debt to EBITDA and (ii) to exceed a minimum ratio of EBITDA to interest expense. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with these covenants.
