| Long-Term Debt [Text Block] |
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s debt consisted of the following:
The Company previously maintained a Credit Agreement with Citizens Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, through December 17, 2025 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement originally provided for a term loan of $40.0 million and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility (including a $10.0 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10.0 million swingline loan sub facility) (collectively, the “Credit Facility”). The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement were secured by substantially all of its assets, including all or a portion of the equity interests in certain of the Company’s domestic and foreign subsidiaries.
The Credit Agreement included various customary financial covenants and other affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Company. The negative covenants limited the ability of the Company, among other things, to incur debt, permit liens, make investments, sell assets, or pay dividends on its capital stock. The financial covenants included a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Agreement also included customary events of default.
On December 17, 2025, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “2025 Loan Agreement”) with certain financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”) and BroadOak Income Fund, L.P., as the administrative agent and collateral agent. The 2025 Loan Agreement provides for the following term loans: (i) a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (the “Term A Loan”), (ii) a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $22.5 million (the “Term B Loan”) and (iii) a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million (the “Term C Loan” and, together with the Term A Loan and Term B Loan, the “Term Loans”). The Term A Loan and Term B Loan are senior secured obligations maturing on December 31, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”). Commencing December 31, 2027 (the “Amortization Date”), the Company is required to make quarterly principal amortization payments on the Term A Loan and Term B Loan. The Amortization Date and Maturity Date may be extended by one year if the Company achieves a certain adjusted EBITDA milestone. The Term C Loan is a senior secured convertible term loan maturing on the Maturity Date that is convertible, together with accrued and unpaid interest, into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $10.00 per share (as adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split) from January 2, 2026 until the maturity of the Term Loans. The conversion right may be exercised at the Lenders’ option, or automatically if the share price of the common stock exceeds $15.00 per share for thirty consecutive trading days. The Term C Loan may not be prepaid by the Company prior to maturity, except in the event of a repayment in full of all of the Term Loans or a change of control of the Company, in which case the Lenders may elect whether to convert their Term C Loan into Common Stock or to be repaid in full in cash. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used to repay all obligations under the Credit Facility, to pay transaction fees and expenses and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The Term Loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 12.80% from the date of the 2025 Loan Agreement through the 2025 Loan Agreement’s second anniversary, then 12.50% thereafter and (ii) the detailed in the 2025 Loan Agreement plus 5.25%. Interest on the Term Loans is payable in cash in arrears on the last calendar day of each month; however, at the Company’s option, interest on the Term C Loan may be payable in kind. If any portion of the Term Loans are prepaid prior to maturity, the Company will be required to pay a prepayment premium in an amount equal to (a) 3.00% of the principal amount of such prepaid Term Loans if such prepayment occurs on or before the first anniversary of the closing of the transaction, (b) 2.00% of the principal amount of such prepaid Term Loans if such prepayment occurs after the first anniversary but on or prior to the second anniversary of the closing of the transaction, (c) 1.00% of the principal amount of such prepaid Term Loans if such prepayment occurs after the second anniversary but on or prior to the third anniversary of the closing of the transaction and (d) 0.00% thereafter. However, no prepayment premium will be payable with respect to any Term A Loan prepaid before March 31, 2027. Additionally, an exit fee of 10.00% will be payable on any Term Loan amounts that are prepaid or repaid, including at maturity, except that no exit fee will be payable with respect to any Term C Loan that convert into common stock. With respect to the principal amount of the Term A Loan and the Term B Loan that are outstanding as of the fifteen month anniversary of the closing date, the exit fee percentage shall be reduced by 1.00% for every $2.0 million of the principal amount of Term A Loan that had been repaid or prepaid prior to the fifteen month anniversary of the closing date.
The Company’s obligations under the 2025 Loan Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and each guarantor.
The 2025 Loan Agreement includes customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants binding on the Company and its subsidiaries, including delivery of financial statements and other reports and maintenance of existence. The negative covenants limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, among other things, to incur debt, incur liens, make investments, sell assets and pay dividends on its capital stock. The financial covenants set forth in the 2025 Loan Agreement include a minimum liquidity covenant, which will apply at all times, and a minimum adjusted EBITDA covenant, which will be tested at the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company. The 2025 Loan Agreement also includes customary events of default.
The Company was in compliance with the minimum liquidity covenants and the minimum adjusted EBITDA covenant, each as defined in the 2025 Loan Agreement, of $3 million and $6 million, respectively, measured on a trailing 12-month basis, for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
In connection with the 2025 Loan Agreement, the Company issued detachable warrants to the Lenders and its participants to purchase up to an aggregate 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $5.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a -year period beginning December 17, 2025. The warrants may also be exercised on a cashless basis under certain circumstances under the 2025 Loan Agreement.
The shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrants and conversion of the Term C Loan (the “Underlying Shares”) were not initially registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Within 45 days of the date of the 2025 Loan Agreement, the Company was required to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of the Underlying Shares. The Company filed this registration statement covering the Underlying Shares on January 30, 2026, and it was declared effective on February 9, 2026.
The Company determined that warrants issued in connection with 2025 Loan Agreement met the definition of a freestanding financial instrument and qualified for treatment as permanent equity. Warrants recorded as equity are recorded at the fair market value determined at issuance date and are not remeasured after that. The fair value of these 200,000 warrants was $1.4 million and was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: fair value of the Company’s common stock at issuance of $6.90 per share; year expected term; 140.4% volatility; 0% dividend rate; and a risk-free interest rate of 3.6%. The Company allocated the value of warrants between the relative fair value of the notes payable without the warrants, and the warrants themselves at the time of issuance. The allocated portion of the warrants was treated as a debt discount and amortized over the term of the note. The amortization of the debt discount is recognized as interest expense.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, certain lender participants exercised their warrants for cash in full to purchase an aggregate of 30,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price per share of $5.00, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to us of approximately $0.15 million.
The Company accretes loan exit fees into interest expense over the contractual terms of the 2025 Loan Agreement, to the extent that such amounts are expected to be paid.
In connection with the debt refinancing transaction on December 17, 2025 as described above, the Company paid to the Lenders a customary closing fee of $0.8 million. The Company also incurred certain legal costs and other fees totaling $2.1 million. These fees and costs were deferred on the Company’s balance sheet as a reduction of the carrying value of the Term Loans and will be amortized to interest expense over the contractual terms of the Loan Agreement.
The refinancing of the Credit Facility is considered a debt extinguishment and, as such, $0.1 million of net deferred financing costs and fees primarily related to the Credit Facility were expensed in December 2025 and included in Other expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 contractual interest expense was $1.3 million and $0.8 million and non-cash interest expense was $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
The effective interest rate on the Company’s borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 17.3% and 8.6%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate as of March 31, 2026 was 17.3% and for December 31, 2025 was 13.7%, net of the effect of the Company’s interest rate swap agreement. The carrying value of the debt approximated fair value because the interest rate under the obligation approximates market rates of interest available to the Company for similar instruments. |
