The scheduled maturities of all borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2025, are $1.2 million in 2026, $1.2 million in 2027, $1.2 million in 2028, and $450.5 million in 2029.
ABL Agreement. Our asset-based lending agreement, as amended, (“ABL”) is provided by a syndicate of banking institutions and consists of a revolving credit facility for up to $175.0 million in borrowing capacity that matures the earlier of (a) March 16, 2029, which is ninety-one days prior to the stated maturity date of our 4.0% Senior Notes if the Notes are still outstanding on that date or (b) March 28, 2029. The ABL includes the ability to borrow up to $25.0 million of swing line loans and up to $60.0 million of letters of credit. The ABL permits us to increase the size of the credit facility by an additional $150.0 million in certain circumstances subject to adequate borrowing base availability.
Borrowings under the ABL bear interest at a floating rate equal to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (‘SOFR”) plus an adjustment of 10 basis points and an applicable margin range of 150 to 175 basis points, or a base rate (as defined in the ABL) plus an applicable margin range of 50 to 75 basis points. As of September 30, 2025, the applicable margin was 150 basis points for SOFR-based loans, and 50 basis points for base rate loans.
The ABL is subject to mandatory prepayments if total outstanding borrowings under the ABL are greater than the aggregate commitments under the revolving credit facility or if we dispose of overdue accounts receivable in certain circumstances. The borrowing base under the ABL is equal to the sum of (a) 85% of the value of eligible accounts receivable and (b) the lesser of (i) 70% of the value of eligible inventory or (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, less certain reserves. Prepayments can be made at any time without penalty.
The ABL contains customary terms and conditions as well as various affirmative, negative and financial covenants that, among other things, may restrict the ability of us and our subsidiaries to pay dividends or repurchase stock.
Substantially all of our United States subsidiaries are borrowers under the ABL and are jointly and severally liable for outstanding borrowings. Our obligations under the ABL are secured by a first-priority perfected lien on all of our United States inventory, accounts receivable, certain cash balances and other supporting assets.
The ABL includes a commitment fee for any unused borrowing capacity of 37.5 basis points per annum when the unused capacity is above 50% of the credit commitments, with a step down to 25.0 basis points per annum when unused capacity is less than or equal to 50% of the credit commitments. As of September 30, 2025, the commitment fee was 37.5 basis points.
Borrowings are not subject to any financial maintenance covenants unless excess availability is less than the greater of $17.5 million and 10% of the Loan Cap as defined in the ABL. Excess availability based on September 30, 2025 data was $163.7 million, as reduced by $11.1 million of outstanding letters of credit and $0.2 million of accrued fees and expenses.

We were in compliance with all required covenants as of September 30, 2025.

4.0% Senior Unsecured Notes. On May 28, 2021, we privately issued $450.0 million of 4.0% Senior Notes, which mature on June 15, 2029 and bear interest at 4.0%, paid semi-annually in June and December. We capitalized $5.5 million of financing costs, which are being amortized over the term of the 4.0% Senior Notes using the effective interest method. Proceeds from the 4.0% Senior Notes, along with cash on hand were used to redeem our previously existing notes. Substantially all of our United States subsidiaries guarantee the 4.0% Senior Notes, which are subordinate to borrowings under our ABL. Based on quoted market prices, which is a Level 1 measurement, the outstanding 4.0% Senior Notes had a fair value of $434.1 million as of September 30, 2025.
An indenture governing the 4.0% Senior Notes (“Indenture”) contains customary covenants and events of default, including covenants that limit our ability to incur certain debt and liens. We were in compliance with all required covenants as of September 30, 2025. There are no financial maintenance covenants associated with the Indenture.
We may redeem some or all of the 4.0% Senior Notes at any time after June 15, 2024, at specified redemption prices. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), we could be required to offer to purchase the 4.0% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount if there is a Ratings Decline (as defined in the Indenture).
