Covenants and guarantees

The Company guaranteed future payments related to certain leases assigned in connection with refranchising retail stores and selling the Global Products business. Valvoline is obligated to perform if the buyers of the divested businesses default on the leases, which have remaining terms ranging from nine months to 15 years. The undiscounted maximum potential future payments under the lease guarantees were $67.8 million as of March 31, 2025. In addition, the Company guarantees certain outstanding franchisee debt obligations that have remaining terms ranging from two to five years and total $12.4 million as of March 31, 2025. The Company has not recorded a liability for these guarantees as the likelihood of making future payments is not considered probable.

As of March 31, 2025, Valvoline was in compliance with all covenants under its long-term borrowings.
