Credit Facilities and Lease Obligations

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2022

CREDIT FACILITIES AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS: We are party to a credit agreement (Credit Facility) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders party thereto, which as of a December 6, 2021 amendment thereto, includes a term loan in the original principal amount of $350.0 (Initial Term Loan), a term loan in the original principal amount of $365.0 (Incremental Term Loan), and a $600.0 revolving credit facility (Revolver). Prior to such amendment, the Credit Facility included the Initial Term Loan, a term loan in the original principal amount of $250.0 (Terminated Term Loan), the outstanding borrowings under which were fully repaid on December 6, 2021 with a portion of the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loan, and commitments of $450.0 under the Revolver. The Initial Term Loan and the Incremental Term Loan are collectively referred to as the Term Loans.

The Initial Term Loan was unchanged by the December 2021 amendment to the Credit Facility, and continues to mature in June 2025. The Incremental Term Loan and the Revolver each mature on March 28, 2025, unless either (i) the Initial Term Loan has been prepaid or refinanced or (ii) commitments under the Revolver are available and have been reserved to repay the Initial Term Loan in full, in which case such obligations mature on December 6, 2026.

The Incremental Term Loan requires quarterly principal repayments of $4.5625, and each of the Term Loans requires a lump sum repayment of the remainder outstanding at maturity. The Initial Term Loan required quarterly principal repayments of $0.875, all of which were paid by the end of the first half of 2020. We are also required to make annual prepayments of outstanding obligations under the Credit Facility (applied first to the Term Loans, then to the Revolver, in the manner set forth in the Credit Facility) ranging from 0% — 50% (based on a defined leverage ratio) of specified excess cash flow (ECF) for the prior fiscal year. A mandatory prepayment of $107.0 (ECF Amount) was required and paid during the first half of 2020 based on this provision. No prepayments based on ECF were required in 2021 or 2022, or will be required in 2023. In addition, prepayments of outstanding obligations under the Credit Facility (applied as described above) may also be required in the amount of specified net cash proceeds received above a specified annual threshold (including proceeds from the disposal of certain assets). No Credit Facility prepayments based on net cash proceeds were required in 2020, 2021 or 2022, or will be required in 2023. Any outstanding amounts under the Revolver are due at maturity. Except under specified circumstances, and subject to the payment of breakage costs (if any), we are generally permitted to make voluntary prepayments of outstanding amounts under the Revolver and the Term Loans without any other premium or penalty. Repaid amounts on the Term Loans may not be re-borrowed.

At December 31, 2022, the aggregate remaining mandatory principal repayments under the Credit Facility are as follows (assuming no further mandatory principal repayments are required based on ECF or net cash proceeds):


	Total		2023		2024		2025		2026
Initial Term Loan	$	280.4	$	—	$	—	$	280.4	$	—
Incremental Term Loan (i)	$	346.8	$	18.25	$	18.25	$	18.25	$	292.0

(i) This assumes that the conditions required for a December 2026 maturity date are satisfied. If such conditions are not satisfied, the Incremental Term Loan matures (and all amounts outstanding thereunder are payable) on March 28, 2025.

The Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the Term Loans and/or commitments under the Revolver by $150.0, plus an unlimited amount to the extent that a specified leverage ratio on a pro forma basis does not exceed specified limits, in each case on an uncommitted basis and subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions. The Revolver also includes a $50.0 sub-limit for swing line loans, providing for short-term borrowings up to a maximum of ten business days, as well as a $150.0 sub-limit for letters of credit, in each case subject to the overall Revolver credit limit. The Revolver permits us and certain designated subsidiaries to borrow funds (subject to specified conditions) for general corporate purposes, including for capital expenditures, certain acquisitions, and working capital needs.

Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest, depending on the currency of the borrowing and our election for such currency, at LIBOR, Base Rate, Canadian Prime, an Alternative Currency Daily Rate, or an Alternative Currency Term Rate (each as defined in the Credit Facility) plus a specified margin. The margin for borrowings under the Revolver and the Incremental Term Loan ranges from 1.50% to 2.25% for LIBOR borrowings and Alternative Currency borrowings, and from 0.50% to 1.25% for Base Rate and Canadian Prime borrowings, in each case depending on the rate we select and our consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility). Commitment fees range from 0.30% to 0.45% depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. The Initial Term Loan currently bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.125%. The Incremental Term Loan currently bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%. See note 20 for a description of the LIBOR successor provisions under the Credit Facility. Prior to the December 2021 amendment of the Credit Facility, the margin for borrowings under the Revolver ranged from 0.75% to 2.5%, commitment fees ranged from 0.35% to 0.50%, in each case depending on the rate we selected and our consolidated leverage ratio, the Initial Term Loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.125%, and the Terminated Term Loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against our exposures to the interest rate variability on a portion of our Term Loans. See note 20 for further detail.

We are required to comply with certain restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility, including those relating to the incurrence of certain indebtedness, the existence of certain liens, the sale of certain assets, specified investments and payments, sale and leaseback transactions, and certain financial covenants relating to a defined interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio that are tested on a quarterly basis. Our Credit Facility also prohibits share repurchases for cancellation if our

leverage ratio (as defined in such facility) exceeds a specified amount (Repurchase Restriction). At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all restrictive and financial covenants under the Credit Facility, and the Repurchase Restriction was not in effect.

The obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and certain specified subsidiaries. Subject to specified exemptions and limitations, all assets of the guarantors are pledged as security for the obligations under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing (and is not waived), the Administrative Agent may declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable, and may cancel the lenders’ commitments to make further advances thereunder. In the event of a payment or other specified defaults, outstanding obligations accrue interest at a specified default rate. No such defaults occurred during 2021 or 2022.

In 2022, we made scheduled principal repayments of $4.5625 each quarter under the Incremental Term Loan. In the fourth quarter of 2022 (Q4 2022), we also made a voluntary prepayment of $15.0 under the Initial Term Loan.

During first quarter of 2021, we repaid an aggregate of $30.0 under the Terminated Term Loan. On October 27, 2021, we borrowed $220.0 under the Revolver to fund a portion of the PCI acquisition price in November 2021. On December 6, 2021, upon receipt of the net proceeds from the $365.0 Incremental Term Loan, we repaid all remaining amounts outstanding under the Terminated Term Loan ($145.0) and $215.0 of the $220.0 borrowed under the Revolver. On December 29, 2021, we repaid the remaining $5.0 outstanding under the Revolver.

During the first quarter of 2020, we made the scheduled quarterly principal repayment of $0.875 under the Initial Term Loan, and also prepaid an aggregate of $60.0 under the Terminated Term Loan. On April 27, 2020, we prepaid $47.0 under the Initial Term Loan. These two prepayments were first applied to all remaining scheduled quarterly principal repayments of the Initial Term Loan and Terminated Term Loan prior to maturity, as applicable, and thereafter to remaining applicable principal amounts outstanding thereunder. These prepayments also represented payment in full of the ECF Amount. In June 2020, we prepaid an additional $1.5 under the Initial Term Loan and $12.5 under the Terminated Term Loan.

In addition, we also made intra-quarter borrowings under the Revolver during certain quarters of 2020, 2021 and 2022, in each case drawn and repaid during the quarter of the borrowing, with no impact to the amounts outstanding at either the relevant quarter-end or year-end.

(i) In addition to borrowings for the acquisition of PCI, we drew on the Revolver for short term borrowings during certain quarters of 2020, 2021 and 2022, and repaid such borrowings in full within the quarter borrowed. Such intra-quarter borrowings and repayments, other than those related to the acquisition of PCI, are offset against each other, and are excluded from this table.

(i) We incur debt issuance costs upon execution of, subsequent security arrangements under, and amendments to, the Credit Facility. Debt issuance costs incurred in 2022 totaling $0.3 ($2.2 in 2021; $0.3 in 2020) in connection with the Revolver were deferred as other assets on our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized on a straight line basis over the term (or remaining term, as applicable) of the Revolver. Debt issuance costs incurred in 2022 totaling $0.3 ($1.8 in 2021; nil in 2020) in connection with our Term Loans were deferred as long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over their respective terms using the effective interest rate method. In December 2021, we accelerated the amortization of $2.6 of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the termination of the Terminated Term Loan, which we recorded in other charges (see note 15).

(ii) These lease obligations represent the present value of unpaid lease payment obligations which have been discounted using our incremental borrowing rate on the lease commencement dates. In addition to these lease obligations, we have commitments under additional real property leases not recognized as liabilities as of December 31, 2022, because certain leases had not yet commenced as of such date. A description of these leases and minimum lease payments thereunder are disclosed in note 24. As of December 31, 2022, the current portion of our lease obligations was $35.1 (2021 — $34.5) and the long-term portion was $127.3 (2021 — $104.1).

At December 31, 2022, the contractual undiscounted cash flows for lease obligations recognized as of such date were as follows:


Years ending December 31	Total
2023	$	42.7
2024	$	30.9
2025	$	25.5
2026	$	21.2
2027	$	15.9
Thereafter	$	56.9
	$	193.1

Other lease-related expenses that were recognized in the consolidated statement of operations are as follows:


Year ended December 31	2020		2021		2022
