Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure

- Credit Facility Size: Secured revolving loans and letters of credit up to $125 million.
- Maturity Date: Extended from April 6, 2026, to September 11, 2028.
- Interest Rates: Borrowings bear interest at either the Base Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin (0.00% to 0.50% for Base Rate; 1.00% to 1.50% for Adjusted Term SOFR).
- Commitment Fee: Ranges from 0.20% to 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the commitment.

Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the extension of the Credit Agreement's maturity date by approximately 2.5 years. The filing does not provide comparative financial data (e.g., revenue, EBITDA, or cash flow) for the current period versus prior periods.
Financial Covenants and Risks
The amended Credit Agreement imposes specific financial covenants that XPEL must maintain as of the last day of each fiscal quarter:
- Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio: Must not exceed 3.50 to 1.00.
- Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio: Must not be less than 3.00 to 1.00.
Definitions: The Leverage Ratio is defined as consolidated funded indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed four consecutive fiscal quarters. The Interest Coverage Ratio is defined as Consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense for the same period.
Risks: Failure to meet these covenants could result in a default. The filing notes that representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the lenders and should not be relied upon as characterizations of the actual state of facts by others.

- Review the full text of Exhibit 10.1 (First Amendment) for any additional terms or conditions not summarized in the 8-K.
- Confirm the current utilization of the $125 million revolving credit facility.
- Monitor future quarterly filings to track EBITDA performance relative to the defined "Reference Period" (four consecutive fiscal quarters).
