Securitized Equipment Financing
The Company maintains an internal financing organization primarily to assist end-user laundromat locations in financing Company-branded equipment through the Company’s distributors in the United States and Canada. Alliance Laundry originates and administers the sale of equipment financing receivables through a special-purpose bankruptcy remote subsidiary, Alliance Laundry Equipment Receivables 2015 LLC (“ALER 2015”), and a trust (a qualified special purpose entity or “QSPE”), Alliance Laundry Equipment Receivables Trust 2015-A (“ALERT 2015A”). These transactions are financed by a revolving credit facility (the “Asset Backed Equipment Facility”) backed by equipment financing receivables originated by the Company. Alliance Laundry is permitted, from time to time, to sell certain equipment financing receivables to its special-purpose subsidiary, which in turn transfers them to the trust.
On May 1, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Asset Backed Equipment Facility to increase the facility limit from a lender committed amount of $460.0 million to $500.0 million, with an additional uncommitted increase of $30.0 million available. The amendment extended the term until May 1, 2028. As a result, the Company incurred $1.6 million of fees which were capitalized and included in Debt issuance costs, net line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are being amortized over the three-year life of the facility, which approximates the effective interest method.
On December 29, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Facility Limit Increase Agreement") to convert the $30.0 million uncommitted amount to committed, increasing the lender committed amount under the Asset Backed Equipment Facility from $500.0 million to $530.0 million. As a result, the Company incurred $0.1 million of fees which were capitalized and included in Debt issuance costs, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are being amortized over the three-year life of the facility, which approximates the effective interest method.
The trust finances the acquisition of equipment financing receivables through borrowings under the Asset Backed Equipment Facility in the form of funding notes which are limited to an advance rate of approximately 88%. Under the Asset Backed Equipment Facility, interest payments on the variable funding notes are paid monthly at an interest rate equal to the daily simple SOFR ("Secured Overnight Financing Rate") rate plus a margin of 120 basis points, which was equivalent to 4.8% at March 31, 2026. If an event of default occurs, the otherwise applicable interest rate for the Asset Backed Equipment Facility will be increased by an amount equal to 200 basis points per annum. The lenders also earn an unused facility fee of 0.35% of the unfunded portion of each lender's commitment amount prior to a rapid amortization event or event of default.
After May 1, 2028, ALERT 2015A will not be permitted to request new borrowings under the Asset Backed Equipment Facility, and the outstanding borrowings will amortize over a period of two and a half years with any remaining balance due at maturity.
The equipment financing receivables typically have interest rates ranging primarily from Prime plus 0.0% to Prime plus 4.75% for variable rate equipment financing receivables and 3.75% to 11.50% for fixed-rate equipment financing receivables. The average interest rate for all equipment financing receivables at March 31, 2026 was 8.39% with terms ranging primarily from two to twelve years. The weighted-average remaining expected life of equipment financing receivables held by the trust was
approximately 3.43 years at March 31, 2026. All equipment financing receivables allow the holder to prepay outstanding principal amounts without penalty.
Securitized Receivables Financing
Alliance Laundry, through a special-purpose bankruptcy remote subsidiary, Alliance Laundry Trade Receivables LLC (“ALTR LLC”), utilizes a revolving credit facility (the “Asset Backed Trade Receivables Facility”) backed by trade receivables originated by the Company. Under the Asset Backed Trade Receivables Facility, Alliance Laundry originates and simultaneously sells its trade receivables to its special-purpose subsidiary. The risk of loss to the trade receivables under the Asset Backed Trade Receivables Facility resulting from default or dilution on trade receivables is mitigated by credit enhancement provided by the Company in the form of over-collateralization.
On June 30, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Asset Backed Trade Receivables Facility to extend the term of the agreement until June 30, 2025, and increase the facility limit of $100.0 million to $120.0 million.
On May 1, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Asset Backed Trade Receivables Facility, which extended the term of the agreement until May 1, 2028. The Company incurred $0.3 million of fees in connection with the amendment which were capitalized and included in the Debt issuance costs, net line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are being amortized over the three-year revolving life of the facility, which approximates the effective interest method.
Under the Asset Backed Trade Receivables Facility, interest payments on the variable funding notes are paid monthly at an interest rate equal to the daily 1-month SOFR rate plus a margin of 110 basis points, which was 4.8% as of March 31, 2026. The lender also earns an unused facility fee of 0.35% of the unfunded portion of each lender's commitment amount. The Company consolidates the trust, including the assets and liabilities associated with the sale of accounts and equipment financing receivables, into its Consolidated Financial Statements.
    After May 1, 2028, ALTR LLC will not be permitted to request new borrowings under the Asset Backed Trade Receivables Facility, and the outstanding borrowings will amortize over 180 days with any remaining balance due at maturity.
The Company follows accounting standards relating to the consolidation of variable interest entities and accounting for transfers of financial assets. In evaluating the variable interest entity accounting guidance, the Company evaluated if the trust should be consolidated. The Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of the trust as (1) it has the power to direct the activities of the trust that most significantly impact the trust's economic performance and (2) the Company has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the trust. As a result, the Company consolidates the trust in our financial statements.
Securitization Activities
The following lines of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are specific to the Company’s securitization and are restricted for securitization investors only:
•Restricted cash - for securitization investors
•Accounts receivable, net - restricted for securitization investors
•Equipment financing receivables, net - restricted for securitization investors (current and long-term)
•Asset backed borrowings - owed to securitization investors (current and long-term)
Certain aspects of the Company’s retained interest in the assets of the trust constitute intercompany positions which are eliminated in the preparation of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Trust receivables underlying the Company’s retained interest are recorded in Accounts receivable, net - restricted for securitization investors and Equipment financing receivables, net - restricted for securitization investors.
Restricted Cash - for Securitization Investors
To protect the noteholders of the trust, additional collateral in the form of a cash reserve equal to 1.0% of the equipment financing receivable balances is maintained as well as a yield account for lower fixed rate loans. Additionally, collection accounts to facilitate the collection and disbursement of funds are maintained separately for accounts receivable and equipment financing receivables. The following table presents the components of restricted cash for securitization investors.

Securitization Activities
The Company transfers accounts receivable and equipment financing receivables to its special-purpose bankruptcy remote subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business as part of its ongoing securitization activities. The Company receives a combination of cash and residual interests in the transferred assets in its securitization transactions. Interest income is accrued as earned on outstanding balances. Fees earned and incremental direct costs incurred upon origination of equipment financing are not significant for any period presented.

Asset Backed Borrowings - Owed to Securitization Investors
The asset backed borrowings owed to securitization investors in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the third-party noteholders’ interest in accounts receivable and equipment financing receivables.
Credit Quality of Equipment Financing Receivables
Past due balances of equipment financing receivables represent the principal balance of loans and leases held with any payment amounts between 30 and 89 days past the contractual payment due date. Non-performing equipment financing receivables represent loans and leases that are generally more than 89 days delinquent. Non-performing receivables are included in the estimate of expected credit losses. The allowance is measured on a collective basis for equipment financing receivables with similar risk characteristics. The Company does not accrue interest income on non-performing equipment financing receivables. Finance income for non-performing equipment financing receivables is recognized on a cash basis.
