On July 22, 2025, we, along with our direct subsidiary Core Laboratories (U.S.) Interests Holdings, Inc. (“CLIH”) entered into the Ninth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Facility”) for an aggregate borrowing commitment of $150.0 million with a $50.0 million “accordion” feature. Draws up to $100.0 million are available in the form of a revolving credit facility, and a single draw of $50.0 million is available in the form of a delayed draw term loan (“DDTL”)

through January 12, 2026. The DDTL is repayable in quarterly installments of $625 thousand and prepayments are permitted without penalty. Any remaining outstanding balances under the revolving credit facility and the DDTL are due at maturity on July 22, 2029, subject to springing maturity dates unless the Company’s liquidity equals or exceeds the principal amount of each of the respective senior notes series that remain outstanding on each of the respective springing maturity dates as follows:

(1)
October 14, 2027, if any portion of the Company’s 2021 Senior Notes Series B due January 12, 2028, in the aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million, remains outstanding on October 14, 2027, and
(2)
March 30, 2028, if any portion of the Company’s 2023 Senior Notes Series A due June 28, 2028, in the aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million, remains outstanding on March 30, 2028.

There are no significant changes to other terms from the Eighth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including assets securing the debt, interest rates, and cross default provisions associated with the Senior Notes (as defined below), financial covenants or the interest coverage and leverage ratios as described below.

The Credit Facility is secured by first priority interests in (1) substantially all of the tangible and intangible personal property, and equity interest of CLIH and certain of the Company’s U.S. and foreign subsidiary companies and (2) instruments evidencing intercompany indebtedness owing to the Company, CLIH and certain of the Company’s U.S. and foreign subsidiary companies. Certain of our significant, wholly owned subsidiaries are guarantors or co-borrowers under the Credit Facility and Senior Notes.

Under the Credit Facility, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.00% to SOFR plus 3.00% will be applied to outstanding borrowings. The available capacity at any point in time is reduced by outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit which totaled approximately $11.1 million at September 30, 2025, resulting in an available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of approximately $131.9 million. In addition to indebtedness under the Credit Facility, we had approximately $8.0 million of outstanding letters of credit and performance guarantees and bonds from other sources as of September 30, 2025.

The Credit Facility and Senior Notes include a cross-default provision, whereby a default under one agreement may trigger a default in the other agreements.

The terms of the Credit Facility and Senior Notes require us to meet certain covenants, including, but not limited to, an interest coverage ratio (calculated as consolidated EBITDA divided by interest expense) and a leverage ratio (calculated as consolidated net indebtedness divided by consolidated EBITDA), where consolidated EBITDA (as defined in each agreement) and interest expense are calculated using the most recent four fiscal quarters. The Credit Facility has more restrictive covenants with a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and permits a maximum leverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00. The Credit Facility allows non-cash charges such as impairment of assets, stock compensation and other non-cash charges to be added back in the calculation of consolidated EBITDA. The terms of our Credit Facility also allow us to negotiate in good faith to amend any ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent of the agreement if any change in accounting principles would affect the computation of any financial ratio or covenant of the Credit Facility. In accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, our leverage ratio is 1.10 and our interest coverage ratio is 7.86, each for the period ended September 30, 2025. We are in compliance with all covenants contained in our Credit Facility and Senior Notes as of September 30, 2025.

We, along with CLIH as issuer, have senior notes outstanding that were issued through private placement transactions. Series A and Series B of the 2021 Senior Notes were issued in 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”). Series A and Series B of the 2023 Senior Notes were issued in 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”). The 2021 Senior Notes and the 2023 Senior Notes are collectively the “Senior Notes”. We intend to repay the 2021 Senior Notes Series A at maturity in January 2026 using borrowings under the Credit Facility; therefore, we continue to classify them as long-term debt.

See Note 11 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information regarding interest rate swap agreements we have entered to fix the underlying risk-free rate on our Senior Notes.

The estimated fair value of total debt at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximated the book value of total debt. The fair value was estimated using Level 2 inputs by calculating the sum of the discounted future interest and principal payments through the maturity date.
