NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments except those otherwise described herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, unless otherwise disclosed. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.
The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at March 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K (SEC File No. 001-32253), which was filed on May 21, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”).
EnerSys (the “Company”) reports interim financial information for 13-week periods, except for the first quarter, which always begins on April 1, and the fourth quarter, which always ends on March 31. The four quarters in fiscal 2026 end on June 29, 2025, September 28, 2025, December 28, 2025, and March 31, 2026, respectively. The four quarters in fiscal 2025 ended on June 30, 2024, September 29, 2024, December 29, 2024, and March 31, 2025, respectively.
The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and any partially owned subsidiaries that the Company has the ability to control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions take into account historical and forward looking factors that the Company believes are reasonable, and the Company’s estimates and assumptions may evolve as conditions change. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Examples of significant estimates include the allowance for credit losses, the recoverability of property, plant and equipment, the incremental borrowing rate for lease liabilities, the recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets, fair value measurements, including those related to financial instruments, fair value of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation allowances on tax assets, production tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, pension and postretirement benefit obligations, contingencies and the identification and valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disclosure of specific categories within the effective tax rate reconciliation and details about significant reconciling items, subject to a quantitative threshold. The standard also requires information on income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign based on a quantitative threshold. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The standard is applied prospectively with an option for retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its disclosures.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a final standard on disaggregation of income statement expenses. The standard requires disclosure of more detailed information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods
beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The standard is applied prospectively with an option for retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its disclosures.
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a final standard on accounting for governmental grants. The standard provides guidance on how business entities should recognize, measure, and present government grants received. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The standard may be applied using a modified prospective, modified retrospective, or retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its disclosures.
2. Acquisition
Bren-Tronics
On July 26, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the equity of Bren-Tronics Defense LLC for the aggregate purchase price consideration of $206,374 net of cash and restricted cash acquired. Bren-Tronics Defense LLC, headquartered in Commack, New York, is a leading manufacturer of highly reliable portable power solutions, including small and large format lithium batteries and charging solutions, for military and defense applications. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination by applying the acquisition method of accounting.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:
| | | | | | | | |
| | |
| Trade Receivables | | $ | 10,325 | |
| Inventory | | 48,362 | |
| Prepaid and other current assets | | 1,392 | |
| Property, plant and equipment | | 14,701 | |
| Other intangible assets | | 90,500 | |
| Deferred Taxes | | 1,069 | |
| Other assets | | 2,003 | |
| Total assets acquired | | $ | 168,352 | |
| Accounts payable | | 2,485 | |
| Accrued liabilities | | 8,078 | |
| Other liabilities | | 2,236 | |
| Total liabilities assumed | | $ | 12,799 | |
| Net assets acquired | | $ | 155,553 | |
| | |
| Consideration transferred: | | |
| Cash consideration, net of cash and restricted cash acquired | | $ | 206,374 | |
| | |
| Total consideration transferred | | 206,374 | |
| Less: Fair value of acquired identifiable assets and liabilities | | 155,553 | |
| Goodwill | | $ | 50,821 | |
The amounts above represent the Company's fair value estimates related to the acquisition as of July 26, 2024. The purchase price was allocated to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition date estimated fair values. The fair value of trade receivables acquired is $10,325, with gross contractual amounts being $10,325. The Company expected all to be collectible. The identifiable intangible assets consist of trademarks, customer relationships, and developed technology which were assigned fair values of $4,200, $63,100 and $23,200, respectively. The trade names and trademarks, customer relationships and developed technology are being amortized on a straight-line basis over weighted average useful lives of 6, 13, and 12 years, respectively.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company believes the goodwill related to the acquisition was attributable to the value of the assembled workforce as well as the collective experience of the management team with regards to its operations, customers, and industry. All acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
The results of the Bren-Tronics acquisition have been included in the Company’s results of operations in the Specialty operating segment from the date of acquisition. Pro forma earnings and earnings per share computations have not been presented as this acquisition is not considered material.
3. Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues by reportable segments are presented in Note 17 and are consistent with how we organize and manage our operations, as well as product line net sales information.
Service revenues related to the work performed for the Company’s customers by its maintenance technicians generally represent a separate and distinct performance obligation. Control for these services passes to the customer as the services are performed.
A portion of the Company's customer arrangements oblige the Company to create customized products for its customers that require combining both products and services into a single performance obligation because the individual products and services that are required to fulfill the customer requirements do not meet the definition for a distinct performance obligation. These customized products generally have no alternative use to the Company and the terms and conditions of these arrangements give the Company the enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, including a reasonable profit margin. For these arrangements, control transfers over time and the Company measures progress towards completion by selecting the input or output method that best depicts the transfer of control of the underlying goods and services to the customer for each respective arrangement. Methods used by the Company to measure progress toward completion include labor hours, costs incurred and units of production. Revenues recognized over time for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025 amounted to $38,167 and $46,197, respectively. Revenues recognized over time for the nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025 amounted to $114,449 and $148,049.
On December 28, 2025, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately $205,033, of which, the Company estimates that approximately $44,438 will be recognized as revenue in fiscal 2026, $101,669 in fiscal 2027, $36,571 in fiscal 2028, $16,983 in fiscal 2029, and $5,371 in fiscal 2030 and after.
Any payments that are received from a customer in advance, prior to the satisfaction of a related performance obligation and billings in excess of revenue recognized, are deferred and treated as a contract liability. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized are classified as current or non-current based on the timing of when recognition of revenue is expected. As of December 28, 2025, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were $37,300 and $1,346, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were $28,820 and $488, respectively. Revenues recognized during the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025 that were included in the contract liability at the beginning of the quarter amounted to $7,875 and $6,829, respectively. Revenues recognized during the nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025 that were included in the contract liability at the beginning of the year, amounted to $7,107 and $9,713, respectively.
Amounts representing work completed and not billed to customers represent contract assets and were $81,250 and $71,774 as of December 28, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company uses historic customer product return data as a basis of estimation for customer returns and records the reduction of sales at the time revenue is recognized. At December 28, 2025, the right of return asset related to the value of inventory anticipated to be returned from customers was $4,270 and refund liability representing amounts estimated to be refunded to customers was $7,010.
4. Accounts Receivable
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | December 28, 2025 | | March 31, 2025 |
| Accounts receivable | | $ | 483,860 | | | $ | 606,617 | |
| Allowance for doubtful accounts | | 9,156 | | | 8,675 | |
| Accounts receivable, net | | $ | 474,704 | | | $ | 597,942 | |
During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement ("RPA"), under which the Company continuously sells its interest in designated pools of trade accounts receivables, at a discount, to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells certain of the receivables to an unaffiliated financial institution ("unaffiliated financial institution") on
a monthly basis. The Company may sell certain US-originated accounts receivable balances up to a maximum amount of $150,000. On December 15, 2025, the Company entered in an amendment to the RPA, ("Amended RPA"), that increased the aggregate amount of certain US-originated accounts receivable balances to a maximum amount of $250,000 plus an additional $50,000 accordion feature that is uncommitted and subject to certain additional conditions. The Amended RPA added certain additional financial institutions and matures on December 15, 2028. In return for these sales, the Company receives a cash payment equal to the face value of the receivables and is charged a fee of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 85 basis points against the sold receivable balance. The program is conducted through EnerSys Finance LLC ("EnerSys Finance"), an entity structured to be bankruptcy remote. The Company is deemed the primary beneficiary of EnerSys Finance as the Company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity from the transfer of the trade accounts receivables into the special purpose entity. Accordingly, EnerSys Finance is included in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Receivables sold to unaffiliated financial institutions under the program are excluded from “Accounts receivable, net” on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, and cash receipts are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. The purchase price is received in cash when the receivables are sold, and fees charged relating to this balance are recorded to other (income) expense. Certain unsold receivables held by EnerSys Finance serve as collateral to unaffiliated financial institutions. These unsold receivables are included in “Accounts receivable, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Company continues servicing the receivables which were sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee from EnerSys Finance under the program.
During the third quarter and the nine months of fiscal 2026, the Company sold $296,092 and $695,789, respectively, of accounts receivables for approximately $296,092 and $695,789, respectively, in proceeds to unaffiliated financial institutions, of which $196,092 and $595,789, respectively, were collected as of December 28, 2025. During the third quarter and the nine months of fiscal 2025, the Company sold $192,796 and $575,011, respectively, of accounts receivables for approximately $192,796 and $575,011, respectively, in net proceeds to an unaffiliated financial institution, of which $192,796 and $575,011, respectively, were collected as of December 29, 2024. Total collateralized accounts receivables of approximately $341,365 were held by EnerSys Finance at December 28, 2025.
Any accounts receivables held by EnerSys Finance would likely not be available to other creditors of the Company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings relating to the Company until the outstanding balances under the Amended RPA are satisfied. Additionally, the financial obligations of EnerSys Finance to the unaffiliated financial institutions under the program are limited to the assets it owns and there is no recourse to the Company for receivables that are uncollectible as a result of the insolvency of EnerSys Finance or its inability to pay the account debtors.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables represent the financial assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 28, 2025 and March 31, 2025, and the basis for that measurement:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Total derivatives | | $ | (31,593) | | | $ | — | | | $ | (31,593) | | | $ | — | |
The fair values of lead forward contracts are calculated using observable prices for lead as quoted on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) and, therefore, were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2025 Annual Report.
The fair values for foreign currency forward contracts and net investment hedges are based upon current quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2 based on the nature of the underlying market in which these derivatives are traded.
The fair value of interest rate swap agreements are based on observable prices as quoted for receiving the variable one-month term SOFR and paying fixed interest rates and, therefore, were classified as Level 2.
Financial Instruments
The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate carrying value due to their short maturities.
The fair value of the Company’s short-term debt and borrowings under the credit facilities as included in Note 12, approximate their respective carrying value, as they are variable rate debt and the terms are comparable to market terms as of the balance sheet dates and are classified as Level 2.
The fair value of the Company's 2032 Notes and 2027 Notes (each as defined in Note 12 and collectively, the "Senior Notes"), represent the trading values based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2. The 2032 Notes were trading at approximately 104% and 101% of face value on December 28, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The 2027 Notes were trading at approximately 99% and 96% of the face value on December 28, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s derivatives and Senior Notes at December 28, 2025 and March 31, 2025 were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(2)The fair value amount of the Senior Notes at December 28, 2025 and March 31, 2025 represent the trading value of the instruments.
7. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company utilizes derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest, under established procedures and controls. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions and the Company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected.
Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships
Lead Forward Contracts
The Company enters into lead forward contracts to fix the price for a portion of its lead purchases. Management considers the lead forward contracts to be effective against changes in the cash flows of the underlying lead purchases. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. At December 28, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company has hedged the price to purchase approximately 106.8 million pounds and 70.0 million pounds of lead, respectively, for a total purchase price of $98,316 and $63,841, respectively.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge a portion of the Company’s foreign currency exposures for lead, as well as other foreign currency exposures so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the underlying foreign currency denominated exposures. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. As of December 28, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had entered into a total of $56,909 and $39,196, respectively, of such contracts.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
The Company is exposed to changes in variable interest rates on borrowings under our credit agreement. On a selective basis, from time to time, it enters into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the negative impact that increases in interest rates could have on our outstanding variable rate debt. At December 28, 2025 and March 31, 2025, such agreements effectively convert $200,000 of our variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, utilizing the one-month term SOFR, as a floating rate reference. Fluctuations in SOFR and fixed rates affect both our net financial investment position and the amount of cash to be paid or received by us under these agreements.
Derivatives in Net Investment Hedging Relationships
Net Investment Hedges
The Company uses cross currency fixed interest rate swaps to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and Euro.
On September 29, 2022, the Company entered into cross-currency fixed interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $150,000, maturing on December 15, 2027. On July 2, 2024, the Company entered into cross-currency fixed interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $150,000, maturing on January 15, 2029. Additionally, on December 23, 2024 and December 24, 2024, the Company entered into cross-currency fixed interest rate swap contracts each with an aggregate notional amount of $150,000, maturing on June 15, 2028 and December 15, 2026, respectively. The cross-currency fixed interest rate swap contracts qualify for hedge accounting as a net investment hedging instrument, which allows for them to be remeasured to foreign currency translation adjustment within AOCI (“Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”) to offset the translation risk from those investments. Balances in the foreign currency translation adjustment accounts remain until the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity, upon which they are recognized as a component of other income (expense).
Impact of Hedging Instruments on AOCI
In the coming twelve months, the Company anticipates that $5,081 of pretax gain relating to lead, foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, and net investment hedges will be reclassified from AOCI as part of cost of goods sold and interest expense. This amount represents the current net unrealized impact of hedging lead, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, which will change as market rates change in the future. This amount will ultimately be realized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income as an offset to the corresponding actual changes in lead, foreign exchange rates and interest costs resulting from variable lead cost, foreign exchange and interest rates hedged.
Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge foreign currency fluctuations on intercompany loans and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. These are not designated as hedging instruments and changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded directly in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. As of December 28, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the notional amount of these contracts was $57,866 and $63,146, respectively.
Presented below in tabular form is information on the location and amounts of derivative fair values in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and derivative gains and losses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income:

8. Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025 was based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods. The Company’s effective income tax rate with respect to any period may be volatile based on the mix of income in the tax jurisdictions, in which the Company operates, changes in tax laws and the amount of the Company's consolidated earnings before taxes.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as Pillar 2), with certain aspects of Pillar 2 effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2023. While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt Pillar 2, certain countries in which we operate have adopted legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar 2.
On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The law included permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework, and changes to the tax treatment for certain business provisions and energy credits.
The impact of the enacted legislation is included in our estimated effective tax rate. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate as new legislation and guidance is issued.
On August 26, 2024, the U.S. Tax Court issued a ruling in Varian Medical Systems, Inc. v. Commissioner ("Varian"). The ruling related to the U.S. taxation of deemed foreign dividends in the transition tax of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) which was originally recorded in fiscal 2018. The impact of the ruling was included in our fiscal 2025 results.
The consolidated effective income tax rates for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025 were 14.9% and 9.4% and for the nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025 were 12.9% and 7.9%. The rate increase in the third quarter compared to the prior period are primarily due to the impact of Pillar 2 and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. The rate increase in the nine months of fiscal 2026 compared to the prior year periods are primarily due to a discrete tax benefit for Varian in fiscal 2025, impact of Pillar 2 and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.
Foreign income as a percentage of worldwide income is estimated to be 53% for fiscal 2026 compared to 48% for fiscal 2025. The foreign effective tax rates for the nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025 were 17% and 15%, respectively. The foreign effective tax rate increase is primarily due to the impact of Pillar 2. Income from the Company's Swiss subsidiary comprised a
substantial portion of the Company's overall foreign mix of income for both fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 and were taxed at an effective income tax rate of approximately 14% and 11%, respectively.
9. Warranty
The Company provides for estimated product warranty expenses when products are sold, with related liabilities included within accrued expenses and other liabilities. As warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, primarily historical claims experience, costs of claims may ultimately differ from amounts provided. An analysis of changes in the liability for product warranties is as follows:

10. Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation
Litigation and Other Legal Matters
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. These actions and proceedings are generally based on alleged violations of environmental, anticompetition, employment, contract and other laws. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries, investigations, and threatened legal actions and proceedings. In connection with formal and informal inquiries by federal, state, local and foreign agencies, the Company and its subsidiaries receive numerous requests, subpoenas and orders for documents, testimony and information in connection with various aspects of their activities.
Environmental Issues
As a result of its operations, the Company is subject to various federal, state, and local, as well as international environmental laws and regulations and is exposed to the costs and risks of registering, handling, processing, storing, transporting, and disposing of hazardous substances, especially lead and acid. The Company’s operations are also subject to federal, state, local and international occupational safety and health regulations, including laws and regulations relating to exposure to lead in the workplace. The Company believes that it has adequate reserves to satisfy its environmental liabilities.
Lead, Foreign Currency Forward Contracts and Swaps
To stabilize its lead costs and reduce volatility from currency and interest rate movements, the Company entered into contracts with financial institutions. The vast majority of lead and foreign currency contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. The Company also entered into a cross currency fixed interest rate swap agreements, maturing on December 15, 2026, December 15, 2027, June 15, 2028, and January 15, 2029, to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and Euro. The Company also entered into floating to fixed interest rate swap agreements maturing on September 30, 2026, to hedge its exposure to variable interest rates. Please refer to Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments for more details.

2017 Credit Facility and Subsequent Amendments
In fiscal 2018, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”). The 2017 Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on September 30, 2022, initially comprised a $600,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (“2017 Revolver”) and a $150,000 senior secured term loan (“2017 Term Loan”). The Company utilized the borrowings from the 2017 Credit Facility to repay its pre-existing credit facility.
In fiscal 2019, the Company amended the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Amended Credit Facility”) to fund the Alpha acquisition. The Amended Credit Facility consisted of $449,105 senior secured term loans (the “Amended Term Loan”), including a CAD 133,050 ($99,105) senior secured term loan and a $700,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Amended Revolver”). The amendment resulted in an increase of the 2017 Term Loan and the 2017 Revolver by $299,105 and $100,000, respectively.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company entered into a second amendment to the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Second Amended Credit Facility”). The Second Amended Credit Facility, scheduled to mature on September 30, 2026, consists of a $130,000 senior secured term loan (the “Second Amended Term Loan”), a CAD 106,440 ($84,229) senior secured term loan and an $850,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Second Amended Revolver”). The second amendment resulted in a decrease of the Amended Term Loan by $150,000 and an increase of the Amended Revolver by $150,000.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a third amendment to the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Third Amended Credit Facility”). The Third Amended Credit Facility provides a new incremental delayed-draw senior secured term loan up to $300,000 (the “Third Amended Term Loan”), which shall be available to draw at any time until March 15, 2023. Once drawn, the funds will mature on September 30, 2026, the same as the Company's Second Amended Term Loan and Second Amended Revolver. In connection with the agreement, the Company incurred $1,161 in third party administrative and legal fees recognized in interest expense and capitalized $1,096 in charges from existing lenders as a deferred asset. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company drew $300,000 in the form of the Third Amended Term Loan. Additionally, the Company derecognized the capitalized deferred asset and recognized the $1,096 as deferred financing costs.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Fourth Amended Credit Facility”). The Fourth Amended Credit Facility replaces the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in the calculation of interest for both the Second Amended Revolver and the Second Amended Term Loan.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, we received proceeds from the issuance of the 2032 Notes and paid down $86,488 and $188,750 towards the Second and Third Amended Term loans and wrote off $753 in deferred finance costs.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Fifth Amended Credit Facility”). The Fifth Amended Credit Facility replaces the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CODR”) with term CORRA in the calculation of interest for borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company entered into the sixth amendment to the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Sixth Amended Credit Facility”). The Sixth Amended Credit Facility provides (i) an upsized revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $1.0 billion (the “ Third Amended Revolver”), which represents an increase of $150 million from the existing revolving credit facility and which matures on September 30, 2030 and (ii) certain other modifications to the existing credit agreement as further set forth in the Sixth Amended Credit Facility. In connection with the Sixth Amended Credit Facility, (i) all of the outstanding term loans (including accrued and unpaid interest thereon) and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest and fees on the outstanding revolving loans, in each case, under the existing credit agreement were repaid in full.
The Sixth Amended Credit Facility may be increased by an aggregate amount of $615,000 in revolving commitments and /or one or more new tranches of term loans, under certain conditions. The Third Amended Revolver bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the SOFR, CORRA, Euribor or SONIA Base rate as applicable according to credit extended, plus (i) between 1.250% and 2.25% (currently 1.375% and based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio) or (ii) the U.S. Dollar Base Rate plus between 0.25% and 1.25%, which equals, for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America “Prime Rate” and (c) Term SOFR plus 1%; provided that, if the Base Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero)
Obligations under the Sixth Amended Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future acquired assets, including substantially all of the capital stock of the Company’s United States subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Sixth Amended Credit Facility and up to 65% of the capital stock of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are owned by the Company’s United States subsidiaries.
The Sixth Amended Credit Facility allows for up to two temporary increases in the maximum leverage ratio to 4.50x from 4.00x for a four quarter period following an acquisition larger than $250,000. Effective with the Sixth Amended Credit Facility, the leverage ratio remains at 4.00x.
As of December 28, 2025, the Company had $557,563 outstanding under the Second Amended Revolver.
