U.S. Line of Credit

On December 16, 2024, we executed an amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Second Amended Credit Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association, which provides for a revolving line of credit ("U.S. Credit Line") through April 30, 2026. We expect to renew the U.S. Credit Line prior to its expiration; however, no assurance can be given that future financing will be available or, if available, that we will be offered terms satisfactory to us. The U.S. Credit Line may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, share repurchases and capital expenditures.

The U.S. Credit Line has a maximum availability of up to $75.0 million, subject to meeting certain financial conditions, including an accounts receivable coverage ratio ("AR Ratio"). This AR Ratio is calculated monthly and adjusts the current U.S. Credit Line total availability. At September 30, 2025, the U.S. Credit Line total availability was $54.1 million based upon the AR Ratio. At October 23, 2025, the U.S. Credit Line total availability was $50.4 million based upon the AR Ratio.

Amounts available for borrowing under the U.S. Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there was $0.5 million at September 30, 2025 and none at December 31, 2024.

All obligations under the U.S. Credit Line are secured by substantially all of our U.S. personal property and tangible and intangible assets, as well as a guaranty of the U.S. Credit Line by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Universal Electronics BV.

Under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, we pay interest on the U.S. Credit Line based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a 3.00% margin. The Second Amended Credit Agreement also contains a facility fee of 0.25%. The interest rates in effect at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were 7.25% and 7.31%, respectively.

The Second Amended Credit Agreement includes financial covenants and contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, our covenants are based upon a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum cash flow leverage ratio. We were in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Second Amended Credit Agreement at September 30, 2025.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had none and $26.0 million outstanding under the U.S. Credit Line, respectively. At September 30, 2025, our remaining availability under our U.S. Credit Line was $53.6 million. Our total interest expense on borrowings under the U.S. Credit Line was $0.4 million and $1.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our total interest expense on borrowings under the U.S. Credit Line was $1.4 million and $3.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our total facility fee expense under the U.S. Credit Line was $48 thousand and $63 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our total facility fee expense under the U.S. Credit Line was $142 thousand and $140 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
China Line of Credit

In August 2024, our subsidiary, Gemstar Technology (Yangzhou) Co. Ltd. ("GTY"), executed a Line of Credit Agreement (the "Line of Credit Agreement") with the Bank of China, which provides for a revolving line of credit (the "China Credit Line"). As a continuation of the agreement, on July 30, 2025, we executed an amendment to the Line of Credit Agreement, which extends the term of the China Credit Line to July 16, 2026. We expect to renew our China Credit Line prior to its expiration; however, no assurance can be given that future financing will be available or, if available, that we will be offered terms satisfactory to us. The China Credit Line may be used for working capital purposes.

The China Credit Line had a maximum availability of up to RMB 130.0 million (approximately $18.3 million), subject to meeting certain financial conditions.

Amounts available for borrowing under the China Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there were none at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

All obligations under the China Credit Line are secured by GTY's buildings and land use rights.

Under the Line of Credit Agreement, we pay interest on the China Credit Line based on the one-year rate from the National Interbank Funding Center less a 0.1% margin. There are no associated commitment fees on the China Credit Line. The interest rates in effect at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were 2.92% and 3.07%, respectively.

The Line of Credit Agreement includes financial covenants and contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Our covenants are based on a debt to asset ratio and a dividends paid to net income ratio. We were in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Line of Credit Agreement at and during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had RMB 130.0 million (approximately $18.3 million) and RMB 80.0 million (approximately $11.2 million), respectively, outstanding under the China Credit Line. At September 30, 2025, we had no remaining availability under our China Credit Line. Our total interest expense on borrowings under the China Credit Line was RMB 0.8 million (approximately $0.1 million) and RMB 21 thousand (approximately $3 thousand) during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our total interest expense on borrowings under the China Credit Line was RMB $2.1 million (approximately $0.3 million) and RMB 21 thousand (approximately $3 thousand) during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
