Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the divestiture of the fluid management business, which was previously disclosed in April 2018.

Concurrently, the company terminated its prior credit agreement without penalty and replaced it with a new facility featuring different interest rate structures and financial covenants.
