Floorplan Notes Payable — Credit Facility

Revolving Credit Facility

In the U.S., the Company has a $2.0 billion revolving syndicated credit arrangement with 20 participating financial institutions that matures on March 9, 2027 (“Revolving Credit Facility”). The Company has the option to increase the availability to $2.4 billion, under certain conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility currently consists of two tranches: (i) a $1.2 billion maximum capacity tranche for U.S. vehicle inventory floorplan financing (“U.S. Floorplan Line”) which the outstanding balance, net of offset account discussed below, is reported in Floorplan notes payable — credit facility and other, net; and (ii) an $800.0 million maximum capacity tranche (“Acquisition Line”), which is not due until maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility and is therefore classified in Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets — refer to Note 14. Debt for additional discussion. The capacity under these two tranches can be re-designated within the overall $2.0 billion commitment. The Acquisition Line includes a $100 million sub-limit for letters of credit and $50.0 million minimum capacity tranche. The Company had $12.2 million in letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The U.S. Floorplan Line bears interest at rates equal to SOFR plus 120 basis points for new vehicle inventory and SOFR plus 150 basis points for used vehicle inventory. The weighted average interest rate on the U.S. Floorplan Line was 6.59% as of December 31, 2023, excluding the impact of the Company’s interest rate swap derivative instruments. The Acquisition Line bears interest at SOFR or a SOFR equivalent plus 110 to 210 basis points, depending on the Company’s total adjusted leverage ratio, on borrowings in USD, Euros or GBP. The U.S. Floorplan Line requires a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the unused portion. Amounts borrowed by the Company under the U.S. Floorplan Line for specific vehicle inventory are to be repaid upon the sale of the vehicle financed and in no case is a borrowing for a vehicle to remain outstanding for greater than one year. The Acquisition Line requires a commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.40% per annum, depending on the Company’s total adjusted leverage ratio, based on a minimum commitment of $50.0 million less outstanding borrowings.

In conjunction with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company had $3.8 million and $5.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are included in Prepaid expenses and Other long-term assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized over the term of the facility.

Under the Revolving Credit Facility, dividends are permitted to the extent that no event of default exists, and the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants contained therein.
