Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
Interest rates are variable, based on LIBOR or Base Rate plus a margin determined by the company's leverage ratio. Margins for the Revolver range from 1.05% to 1.50% (LIBOR) and 0.05% to 0.50% (Base Rate). The company currently utilizes interest rate swaps to fix LIBOR at 1.764% for the Term Loan until August 14, 2021. If the company achieves an additional investment-grade rating from S&P or Moody's, pricing margins may decrease. The filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, or cash flow figures for the period.
