We have a $950.0 million variable rate senior secured credit facility, which is comprised of a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $150.0 million sublimit for letters of credit) and a $450.0 million Term Loan A. The revolving credit facility and Term Loan A are currently priced at 1.375% over the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus a 10 basis point adjustment. We also have a $25.0 million bi-lateral letter of credit facility. The revolving credit facility and Term Loan A mature in December 2027.

On December 7, 2022, we amended and restated our senior secured credit facility, extending the maturity of both the revolving credit facility and Term Loan A from September 2024 to December 2027. In connection with the refinancing, we paid $3.1 million of bank, legal and other fees, of which $3.0 million were capitalized. These fees are reflected as a component of long-term debt and amortized into interest expense over the lives of the underlying debt. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2022, we wrote off $0.6 million of unamortized debt financing costs, included as a component of interest expense, related to our previous credit facility.

The senior secured credit facility includes two financial covenants that require the ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to consolidated cash interest expense minus cash consolidated interest income to be greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0 and requires the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness, minus AWI and domestic subsidiary unrestricted cash and cash equivalents up to $100 million, to consolidated EBITDA to be less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.0 (subject to certain exceptions for certain acquisitions). As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants of the senior secured credit facility.

Our debt agreements include other restrictions, including restrictions pertaining to the incurrence of additional debt, the redemption, repurchase or retirement of our capital stock, payment of dividends, and certain financial transactions as it relates to specified assets. We currently believe that default under these covenants is unlikely.

Scheduled payments of long-term debt:

2025	$	22.5
2026		22.5
2027		482.5

We use lines of credit and other commercial commitments in order to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet operating requirements. Letters of credit are currently arranged through our revolving credit facility and our bi-lateral facility. Letters of credit may be issued to third party suppliers, insurance companies and financial institutions and typically can only be drawn upon in the event of AWI’s failure to pay its obligations to the beneficiary. The following table presents details related to our letters of credit facilities:

	December 31, 2024
Financing Arrangements	Limit		Used		Available
Bi-lateral facility	$	25.0	$	7.7	$	17.3
Revolving credit facility		150.0		-		150.0
Total	$	175.0	$	7.7	$	167.3

Other Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, and primarily due to our December 2024 acquisition of Zahner, we provided corporate guarantees and obtained surety bonds in support of underlying contractual commitments to our customers. As of December 31, 2024, $21.9 million of surety bonds is outstanding associated with custom manufacturing projects that were issued by reputable surety providers. In the event of our non-performance, we may be required to reimburse surety providers to cover qualifying financial loss up to the bond amounts. We believe the risk of financial loss associated with our outstanding guarantees and surety bonds is remote and as such, have recorded no liability associated with such commitments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
