ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
The Credit Agreement is subject to interest rate risk. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate per annum which can be, at our option:
(a)a Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) based rate for U.S. Dollar denominated loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (subject to a 0.00% floor), plus an applicable margin ranging from (x) 2.00% to 2.25% in the case of the 2024 Term Loan Facilities, and (y) 1.50% to 2.00% in the case of the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility;
(b)a EURIBOR based rate for Euro denominated loans under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility (subject to a 0.00% floor), plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%;
(c)a Term CORRA based rate for Canadian Dollar denominated loans under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility (subject to a 0.00% floor), plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%;
(d)a SONIA based rate for Pounds Sterling denominated loans under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility (subject to a 0.00% floor), plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%; and
(e)a base rate for U.S. Dollar denominated loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities plus an applicable margin ranging from (x) 1.00% to 1.25% in the case of the 2024 Term Loan Facilities, and (y) 0.50% to 1.00% in the case of the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility.
The applicable margin for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is subject to adjustments based on the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the preceding fiscal quarter end, with (x) one 25.0 basis point ratio-based step down, in the case of the 2024 Term Loan Facilities, and (y) two 25.0 basis point ratio-based step downs, in the case of the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility.
On March 15, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap contract, effective March 31, 2023, for a notional amount for $400.0 million. The swap provides an effective fixed SOFR rate of 3.71%, maturing on December 31, 2025. Additionally, we entered into an interest rate cap contract to limit the exposure against the risk of rising interest rates. The interest rate cap contract, effective on March 31, 2023, provides a capped SOFR rate of 4.45% and matured on September 30, 2025. This interest rate cap contract began with a notional amount of $500.0 million, increased to $1,000.0 million on March 31, 2023, and to $1,500.0 million on March 28, 2024. On November 14, 2023, we entered into another interest rate cap contract, effective September 30, 2025, to continue to limit the exposure of the interest rates on our variable term loans to a capped SOFR rate of 5.00% on a notional amount of $1,500.0 million, maturing on December 31, 2026. Assuming that the Senior Secured Credit Facilities were fully drawn, the effect of a hypothetical one percentage point increase in interest rates would increase the annual interest costs under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities by approximately $30.0 million based on the amount of outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2026.
Inflation Risk
Inflation generally affects our costs of labor, equipment, raw materials, freight and utilities. We strive to offset these items by price increases, operating improvements and other cost-saving initiatives and through contractual provisions that allow us to pass along material and other cost increases to customers. In certain end markets, implementing price increases may be difficult and there is no assurance that we will be successful. From time to time, we may encounter difficulties in obtaining certain raw materials or components necessary for production due to supply chain constraints and logistical challenges, which may also negatively impact the pricing of materials and components sourced or used in our services.
Currency Risk
Our assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the period-end rate. Exchange differences arising from this translation are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations. In addition, currency exposures can arise from revenue and purchase transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Generally, transactional currency exposures are naturally hedged (i.e., revenue and expenses are approximately matched), but where appropriate, we use foreign exchange contracts. On April 7, 2025, we entered into a foreign currency contract at a notional value of GBP 39.5 million and CAD $136.5 million maturing on December 31, 2025. On October 21, 2025, we entered into a GBP foreign currency contract at a notional value of USD $46.8 million and a CAD foreign currency contract at a notional value of CAD $260.0 million maturing on December 29, 2026. Approximately $43.9 million, or 2.7%, and $35.0 million, or 2.4%, of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, was attributable to non-U.S. Dollar currencies. Gains or losses due to transactions in foreign currencies included in our consolidated statements of operations was a $0.4 million loss and a $0.3 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. A hypothetical 10% change in the relative value of the U.S. Dollar to other currencies during any of the periods presented would not have had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
