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. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company pre-paid $90.0 of the Term Loan. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company pre-paid $22.0 of the Term Loan.

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 December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and $7.6 of outstanding letters of credit. Taking into account outstanding letters of credit, $492.4 remained available under the Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the Company's weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings was 6.6% and 4.4%, respectively.

The prepayment of the Term loan during the first quarters of fiscal 2026 and 2025 resulted in a loss on extinguishment/modification of debt of $0.9 and $0.1, respectively, recorded on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Notes payable - The Company had $0.5 in Notes payable at December 31, 2025 and $13.7 at September 30, 2025. The balances are 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 December 31, 2025, 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.
