Credit Agreement - In March 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated agreement which extended the term of its $760 Senior Secured Term Loan (Term Loan) to 2032 and its $500 Revolving Credit Facility (Revolving Facility) to 2030. The transaction was leverage neutral and the Company paid debt issuance costs of $8.0 as of June 30, 2025 and recorded a Loss on extinguishment/modification of debt of $5.2 on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income during the second quarter of fiscal 2025. On the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Cash Flows, the financing cash inflows and outflows associated with this transaction were determined on a lender-by-lender basis for the Term Loan. In September 2025, the Company completed a $100.0 add-on to the Term Loan.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company pre-paid $90.0 and $22.0 of the Term Loan, respectively. The prepayment of the Term loan during the first nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025, as well as the refinancing during the second quarter of fiscal 2025, resulted in a loss on extinguishment/modification of debt of $0.9 and $5.3, respectively, recorded on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Borrowings under the Term Loan require quarterly principal payments at a rate of 0.25% of the original principal balance, or $2.2. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, an adjusted rate based on the Secured Overnight Finance Rate (SOFR) or the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) then in effect plus the applicable margin. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus the applicable margin. The Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants.

The Company has an interest rate swap that fixes the variable benchmark component (SOFR) at an interest rate of 1.042% on variable rate debt of $500.0. The notional value of the swap decreases by $100.0 each year on December 22nd, until its termination date on December 22, 2027. Refer to Note 12, Financial Instruments and Risk Management, for additional information on the Company's interest rate swap transactions.

As of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company had $30.0 of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and $7.6 of outstanding letters of credit. Taking into account outstanding letters of credit, $462.4 remained available under the Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2026. At June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company's weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings was 5.9% and 4.4%, respectively.

Notes payable - The Company had $30.5 in Notes payable at June 30, 2026 and $13.7 at September 30, 2025. The June 30, 2026 balance is comprised of $30.0 of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and $0.5 of other borrowings, including those from foreign affiliates. The September 30, 2025 balance is comprised of other borrowings, including those from foreign affiliates.
Debt Covenants - The agreements governing the Company's debt contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and provisions relating to events of default. If the Company fails to comply with these covenants or with other requirements of these debt agreements, the lenders may have the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Acceleration under one of these debt agreements would trigger cross defaults to other borrowings. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with its debt agreements.

The counterparties to long-term committed borrowings consist of a number of major financial institutions. The Company consistently monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies.
