Term Loan Facility

The Company has a senior secured first lien term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with $493.8 million outstanding as of January 31, 2025. The Company is required to make scheduled quarterly payments of $1.3 million, or 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility, which began January 1, 2024 with the remaining balance due May 12, 2030. As of January 31, 2025, the applicable rate of interest under the Term Loan Facility was 6.61%. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a floating rate per annum based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.25%. The Company has interest rate swap and collar agreements to convert the variable interest rate on a portion of its Term Loan Facility to a fixed rate. For more information, see Note 11, “Fair Value Measurements.”

On May 12, 2023, the Company amended the Term Loan Facility to provide refinancing term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million, the net proceeds of which were used, together with cash on hand, to refinance the then outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility in the principal amount of $499.5 million and pay related fees. The net $0.5 million increase in aggregate principal amount consisted of a $211.7 million cashless roll by existing lenders, $288.3 million of proceeds received from new lenders and $287.8 million of payments to lenders who did not participate in the refinancing. The Company corrected the presentation of the cash flows associated with the refinancing from a net presentation

as shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended July 31, 2023 to a presentation reporting the gross cash inflows and outflows within financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There was no impact to any of the cash flow subtotals (operating, investing, or financing) as a result of this correction of an immaterial cash flow misstatement. The amendment also amended the Term Loan Facility to, among other things, (i) replace the administrative and collateral agent, (ii) extend the maturity date by seven years from the date of the amendment to May 12, 2030 and (iii) modify certain thresholds, baskets and amounts referenced therein. The Company recorded a write-off of debt discount and deferred financing fees of $1.4 million, which is included in write-off of debt discount and deferred financing fees in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended January 31, 2024.

Senior Notes

The Company has senior unsecured notes due May 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million. The Senior Notes bear interest at 4.625% per annum and mature on May 1, 2029. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1.

Asset Based Lending Facility

The Company has an ABL Facility that provides for aggregate revolving commitments of $950.0 million. Extensions of credit under the ABL Facility are limited by a borrowing base calculated periodically based on specified percentages of the value of eligible inventory and accounts receivable, subject to certain reserves and other adjustments.

At the Company’s option, the interest rates applicable to the loans under the ABL Facility are based on SOFR or base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The margins applicable for each elected interest rate are subject to a pricing grid, as defined in the ABL Facility agreement, based on average daily availability for the most recent fiscal quarter. The ABL Facility also contains an unused commitment fee. As of January 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings was 5.97%.

As of January 31, 2025, the Company had available borrowing capacity of approximately $469.7 million under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility matures on December 22, 2027. The ABL Facility contains a cross-default provision with the Term Loan Facility.

On May 23, 2024, the Company amended its ABL Facility to replace the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) with the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA) as the benchmark rate for borrowings under the Canadian revolving credit subfacility.

Debt Covenants

Such covenants are subject to several important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Term Loan Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes. As of January 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Term Loan Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes.

The ABL Facility contains certain covenants, including financial and other reporting requirements. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of January 31, 2025.
