Financing Arrangements

Credit Facility

The Company has a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) under its Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with an initial maximum credit amount of $250.0 million, including a swing line facility in an aggregate amount of up to $40.0 million and a letter of credit sub-facility providing for the issuance of letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $20.0 million. The Company may request additional revolving commitments or incremental term loans thereunder up to an aggregate amount of up to $125.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain additional conditions as provided in the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $225.0 million under the initial maximum credit amount of the Credit Facility.

Principal payments under the Credit Facility are due upon maturity of the facility on October 7, 2027; however, borrowings may be repaid at the Company’s discretion, in whole or in part at any time, without penalty, subject to required notice periods and compliance with minimum prepayment amounts. In addition, the Credit Facility requires the Company to pay a fee on unused commitments. The Credit Agreement contains conditions, representations and warranties, events of default, and indemnification provisions that are customary for financings of this type, including, but not limited to, a minimum interest coverage ratio, a maximum adjusted leverage ratio, and limitations on incurrence of debt, investments, liens on assets, certain sale and leaseback transactions, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, and sales of assets. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2025.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

During June 2025, the Company amended its accounts receivable securitization program (“A/R Securitization”), extending the maturity date to July 1, 2026. The A/R Securitization provides available cash proceeds of $50.0 million and has an accordion feature allowing the Company to request additional borrowings up to $100.0 million, subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the A/R Securitization.

Under this program, certain subsidiaries of the Company continuously sell a designated pool of trade accounts receivables to a wholly owned subsidiary which, in turn, may borrow funds on a revolving basis. The A/R Securitization does not qualify for sale treatment. Accordingly, the accounts receivable and related debt obligation remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. This wholly owned consolidated subsidiary is a separate bankruptcy-remote entity, and its assets would be available only to satisfy the claims related to the lenders’ interest in the trade accounts receivables. Borrowings under the A/R Securitization bear interest based upon SOFR or, to the extent funded by the conduit lender through the issuance of notes, at the commercial paper rate as defined in the agreement, plus a margin in each case, and an annual facility fee. The securitization agreement contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default that are customary for financings of this type, including a maximum adjusted leverage ratio covenant. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the A/R Securitization at June 30, 2025.

The A/R Securitization includes a provision under which the Company may request, and the letter of credit issuer may issue standby letters of credit. The outstanding standby letters of credit are primarily in support of workers’ compensation and third-party casualty claims liabilities in various states in which the Company is self-insured and reduce the availability of borrowings under the program. As of June 30, 2025, standby letters of credit of $23.7 million have been issued under the program, which reduced the available borrowing capacity to $26.3 million.

Surety Bond Programs

The Company has programs in place with multiple surety companies for the issuance of surety bonds in support of its self-insurance program. As of June 30, 2025, surety bonds outstanding related to the self-insurance program totaled $68.8 million.

Notes Payable

The Company has financed the purchase of certain revenue equipment through promissory note arrangements totaling $45.4 million and $62.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the Company financed the purchase of an additional $9.3 million of revenue equipment through promissory note arrangements.
