The 2022 Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict Olaplex, Inc.’s ability to (subject to certain exceptions) (i) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase its capital stock, (ii) prepay, redeem, or repurchase certain indebtedness, (iii) incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness, (iv) create or incur liens, (v) engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions, (vi) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, (vii) make investments, acquisitions, loans or advances and (viii) enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The 2022 Credit Agreement also includes, among other things, customary affirmative covenants (including reporting covenants) and events of default (including a change of control) for facilities of this type, subject to certain exceptions and thresholds set forth in the 2022 Credit Agreement. In addition, the 2022 Credit Agreement includes a springing first lien leverage ratio financial covenant, which is applicable only to the lenders under the 2022 Revolver. The Company was in compliance with these affirmative and negative covenants as of March 31, 2026. The 2022 Term Loan Facility and the 2022 Revolver are secured by substantially all of the assets of Olaplex, Inc. and the other guarantors, subject to certain exceptions and thresholds.
The interest rate on outstanding debt under the 2022 Term Loan Facility was 7.3% per annum as of March 31, 2026. The interest rates for all facilities under the 2022 Credit Agreement are calculated based upon the Company’s election among (a) adjusted term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) (subject to a 0.50% floor with respect to the 2022 Term Loan Facility, and a 0% floor with respect to the 2022 Revolver) plus an additional interest rate spread, (b) with respect to a borrowing in Euros under the 2022 Revolver, a euro interbank offered rate (subject to a 0% floor) plus an additional interest rate spread, or (c) an “Alternate Base Rate” (as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement) (subject to a 1.50% floor with respect to the 2022 Term Loan Facility, and a 1.00% floor with respect to the 2022 Revolver) plus an additional interest rate spread.
Interest expense, inclusive of amortization of debt issuance costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 was $7.1 million and $13.7 million, respectively.
The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is based on the market value of its long-term debt instrument. Based on the inputs used to value the long-term debt, the Company’s long-term debt is categorized within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2026, the carrying amount, excluding debt issuance costs, and estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $354.8 million and $355.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the carrying amount, excluding debt issuance costs, and estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $354.8 million and $343.2 million, respectively.
Interest Rate Cap
The Company’s results are subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations on borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement, including the 2022 Term Loan Facility. The Company may, from time to time, utilize interest rate derivatives in an effort to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. See further discussion in “Note 5 Fair Value Measurement” to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s 2024 Interest Rate Cap generated a $0.2 million unrecognized pre-tax gain, recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the same period, the Company also recognized $0.2 million of interest expense related to amortization of the 2024 Interest Rate Cap premium paid by the Company.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s 2024 Interest Rate Cap generated an immaterial unrecognized pre-tax gain, recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the same period, the Company also recognized $0.2 million of interest expense related to amortization of the 2024 Interest Rate Cap premium paid by the Company.
The Company performed an initial effectiveness assessment on the 2024 Interest Rate Cap and determined it to be an effective hedge of the cash flows related to the interest rate payments on the 2022 Term Loan Facility. The hedge is evaluated qualitatively on a quarterly basis for effectiveness. For derivatives designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into Interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy election. Payment of the up-front premium of the 2024 Interest Rate Cap is included within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets and liabilities within the cash flows from operating activities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it hold or issue leveraged derivative instruments. By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to interest rate fluctuations, the Company exposes itself to counterparty credit risk. The Company manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with highly rated institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of the applicable contracts.
