As of August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants or amended covenants for each of its short-term facility agreements. These facilities generally expire annually or bi-annually and are normally renewed. One of these facilities is a committed credit agreement with one bank for $75.0 million. In exchange for the bank’s commitment to fund any drawdowns the Company requests, the Company pays an annual commitment fee of 0.25%, payable quarterly, on any unused portion of this facility. Additionally, the Company has uncommitted facilities in most of the countries where it operates, with drawdown requests subject to approval by the individual banks each time a drawdown is requested.

(1)Refer to Part II. "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" for more information about the composition of fixed-interest-rate and variable-interest-rate loans. As of August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $78.1 million and $76.6 million, respectively, of long-term loans in several foreign subsidiaries which require these entities to comply with certain annual or quarterly financial covenants, which include debt service and leverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with all covenants or amended covenants for both periods. The net increase in long-term debt during the twelve months ended August 31, 2025 is primarily attributable to loans entered into by the Company’s Trinidad and Guatemala subsidiaries, as well as a loan entered by the US corporate office, and partially offset by payments on its long-term debt. Annual maturities of long-term debt are as follows (in thousands):
Twelve Months Ended August 31, |  | Amount
