Long-Term Debt, Unclassified [Abstract]

On August 9, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Credit Facility”) with Truist Bank. The A&R Credit Facility provides for a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (the “A&R Revolving Facility”) that may be used for revolving credit loans (including up to $5.0 million in swingline loans and up to $5.0 million in letters of credit) and a $445.0 million term loan (the “A&R Term Loan”). Subject to certain conditions, the available amount under the revolving credit facility and term loans may be increased by $125.0 million in the aggregate. The A&R Credit Facility bears interest at a rate that is equal to Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% based on certain consolidated leverage ratio measures. As of September 30, 2024, the A&R Revolving Facility was scheduled to mature on August 9, 2027. As of September 30, 2024, the A&R Term Loan was repayable in installments beginning December 31, 2022, with the remainder due on August 9, 2027.

The A&R Credit Facility is collateralized by certain real and personal property (including certain capital stock) of the Company and its subsidiaries. The collateral does not include inventory and certain other assets of the Company’s subsidiaries financed under the Inventory Financing Facility. The A&R Credit Facility is subject to certain financial covenants related to the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The A&R Credit Facility also contains non-financial covenants and restrictive provisions that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company to incur additional debt, transfer or dispose of all of its assets, make certain investments, loans or payments and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. The Company was not in compliance with all covenants for the reporting period ended September 30, 2024; however, the covenant noncompliance was waived pursuant to Amendment No. 6. to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Waiver and Amendment No. 1 to Pledge and Security Agreement ("Amendment No. 6") entered into on November 13, 2024 as discussed in Note 22.
