The following discussion summarizes the debt agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025.

First Lien Credit Agreement

On March 5, 2019, the Company entered into a First Lien Credit Agreement (the “First Lien”), with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

On December 11, 2024, we amended the First Lien to refinance the outstanding principal by establishing a Tranche B-5 Term Loan (“Tranche B-5”) in an aggregate principal amount of $2,553.2 million at a rate equal to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.50% or Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) plus 1.50% with a maturity date of February 21, 2031. Principal payments are due on the last business day of each quarter, which commenced in the first fiscal quarter of 2025 and equate to 0.25% of the principal at issuance, with a balloon payment due February 21, 2031.

Revolving Credit Facility

The First Lien also extends credit in the form of a Revolving Credit Facility with a borrowing capacity of $475.0 million (the “Revolver”), of which up to $50.0 million is available as swingline loans and up to $82.5 million is available as letters of credit (the “LC Sublimit”). The Revolver will mature on June 30, 2028. Borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to SOFR (with a floor of 0.00%) plus 3.00% for the Revolving Credit Loans and ABR (with a floor of 0.00%) plus 2.00% for the Swingline Loans. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $475.0 million of borrowing capacity available under the Revolver as there were no borrowings under the Revolver or letters of credit outstanding.

The Company’s First Lien also provides for an additional $65.0 million of letter of credit commitments (the “LC Facility”), which are not subject to the LC Sublimit and do not reduce the Revolver borrowing capacity. As of March 31, 2026, there were $62.9 million of letters of credit outstanding under the LC Facility, resulting in an available borrowing capacity of $2.1 million. As of December 31, 2025, there were $62.8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the LC Facility, resulting in an available borrowing capacity of $2.2 million.

Derivative Financial Instruments

To manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in the variable interest rates, the Company entered into receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap agreements. The following table summarizes our interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges (in millions):

During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025, we entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement, with a $500 million notional amount, to hedge the cash flow risk of variability in interest payment on our variable rate borrowings. The effective date of the forward starting interest rate swap agreement is September 30, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, this contract meets the criteria of a cash flow hedge.

The net fair value of the cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was a $6.9 million asset and a $0.4 million liability, respectively, and is reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets, other assets, accrued expenses and long-term liabilities, as applicable, in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 9 for details. The fair values of our interest rate swaps are based upon Level 2 inputs, which include valuation models. The key inputs for the valuation models are quoted market prices, interest rates, forward yield curves, and credit risk adjustments that are necessary to reflect the probability of default by the counterparty or us.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. Interest received, including payments made or received under the cash flow hedges, was $0.6 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company expects approximately $3.0 million of pre-tax gains to be reclassified out of AOCI into earnings within the next twelve months.
