Senior secured credit facilities, consisting of four components, aggregated to $1.05 billion as of August 31, 2021.

As of August 31, 2021, a $600.0 million revolving line of credit, maturing August 2026, secured by substantially all the Company’s U.S. assets not otherwise pledged as security for term loans or the warehouse credit facility, existed to provide working capital and interim financing of equipment, principally for the Company’s U.S. and Mexican operations. Advances under this North American credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.50% or Prime plus 0.50% depending on the type of borrowing. Available borrowings under the credit facility are generally based on defined levels of eligible inventory, receivables, property, plant and equipment and leased equipment, as well as total debt to consolidated capitalization and fixed charges coverage ratios. On August 27, 2021, this revolving line of credit was renewed on similar terms with an extension of the maturity date from June 2024 to August 2026.

As of August 31, 2021, a $300.0 million non-recourse warehouse credit facility existed to support the operations of GBX Leasing, a joint venture in which the Company owns approximately 95%.

Currently, these European credit facilities have maturities that range from June 2022 through October 2023.

The first line of credit provides up to $30.0 million, of which the Company and its joint venture partner have each guaranteed 50%.
