Senior credit facility

In September 2022, the Company entered into a five-year, $110,000,000 senior credit facility (“Facility”) with a group of US banks. The Facility consists of (i) a delayed-draw term loan facility of $85,000,000, of which $64,000,000 has been drawn as of June 30, 2025, (ii) a term loan of $5,000,000 that was drawn at closing, and (iii) a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility. The Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and is subject to certain financial covenants, with which the Company was in compliance as of June 30, 2025.

A summary of the balances on the Facility as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 is as follows:

The delayed-draw term loan and the term loan bear interest at a weighted average of 7.0% as of June 30, 2025, and will reprice within three months. The rate is based on a secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), with a floor of 0.5%, plus a spread of 2.1% to 2.85% (2.65% as of June 30, 2025) based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The revolving credit facility is bearing interest at 7.6% as of June 30, 2025 and will reprice within three months. The Facility also has fees for unused availability. The fair value of the Facility was determined considering market conditions, credit worthiness and the current terms of debt, which is considered Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy. Due to the near-term repricing of the interest rates, the fair value of the Facility approximates the principal value as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

To manage the risks of the cash flows related to interest expense, the Company entered into several interest rate swaps on $59,000,000 of the principal amount of the Facility during the year ended September 30, 2024. The swaps carry a fixed SOFR of 3.4% to 4.4%, resulting in a weighted combined rate of 6.8%. The swaps are settled quarterly and mature on September 30, 2025, on September 30, 2026, and at the Facility’s maturity. Any difference between the Facility’s SOFR rate and the swaps’ rates is recorded as interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, a reduction of $38,000 and $84,000, respectively, to interest expense was recorded in the condensed consolidated interim statements

of income (loss). For the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, a reduction of $155,000 and $201,000, respectively, to interest expense was recorded in the condensed consolidated interim statements of income (loss).

Interest expense on the Facility, including the impact of the interest rate swap agreements, was $1,211,000 and $1,297,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $3,807,000 and $3,997,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company has incurred financing costs to obtain and maintain the Facility, which is reflected as a reduction of the outstanding balance and will be amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the Facility. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, $132,000 and $128,000 of amortization of deferred financing costs was recorded, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, $401,000 and $385,000 of amortization of deferred financing costs was recorded, respectively.

Equipment loans

The Company is offered financing arrangements from the Company’s suppliers and the supplier’s designated financial institution, in which payments for certain invoices or products can be financed and paid over an extended period. The financial institution pays the supplier when the original invoice becomes due, and the Company pays the third-party financial institution over a period of time. In most cases, the supplier accepts a discounted amount from the financial institution and the Company repays the financial institution the face amount of the invoice with no stated interest, in twelve equal monthly installments. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate of 6.9% to 8.0% to impute interest on these arrangements.
