Short-Term Borrowings

The Company has the ability to draw revolving borrowings under the senior unsecured credit facilities discussed below in the section entitled “2022 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities.” The Company had no borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of January 29, 2023. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under its prior senior unsecured credit facilities as of January 30, 2022 as discussed in the section entitled “2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities” below.

Additionally, the Company has the ability to borrow under short-term lines of credit, overdraft facilities and short-term revolving credit facilities denominated in various foreign currencies. These facilities provided for borrowings of up to $198.8 million based on exchange rates in effect on January 29, 2023 and are utilized primarily to fund working capital needs. The Company had $46.2 million and $10.8 million outstanding under these facilities as of January 29, 2023 and January 30, 2022, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on funds borrowed as of January 29, 2023 and January 30, 2022 was 2.31% and 0.17%, respectively. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under these facilities during 2022 was $49.4 million.

Commercial Paper

The Company has the ability to issue, from time to time, unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities that vary but do not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance primarily to fund working capital needs. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper note program as of January 29, 2023 and January 30, 2022. The maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under the program during 2022 was $130.0 million.

The commercial paper note program allows for borrowings of up to $1,150.0 million to the extent that the Company has borrowing capacity under the multicurrency revolving credit facility included in the 2022 facilities (as defined below). Accordingly, the combined aggregate amount of (i) borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper note program and (ii) the revolving borrowings outstanding under the multicurrency revolving credit facility at any one time cannot exceed $1,150.0 million.
2021 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On April 28, 2021, the Company replaced its 364-day $275.0 million United States dollar-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility, which matured on April 7, 2021 (the “2020 facility”), with a 364-day $275.0 million United States dollar-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2021 facility”). The 2021 facility matured on April 27, 2022. The Company paid $0.8 million and $2.0 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the 2021 facility and 2020 facility, respectively, which were amortized over the term of the respective debt agreements. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under these facilities in 2021 or in 2022 prior to maturity on April 27, 2022.

As of January 29, 2023, approximately 80% of the Company’s long-term debt had fixed interest rates, with the remainder at variable interest rates.
2022 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities

On December 9, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into new senior unsecured credit facilities (the “2022 facilities”), the proceeds of which, along with cash on hand, were used to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under the 2019 facilities (as defined below), as well as the related debt issuance costs.

The 2022 facilities consist of (a) a €440.6 million euro-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “Euro TLA facility”), (b) a $1,150.0 million United States dollar-denominated multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “multicurrency revolving credit facility”), which is available in (i) United States dollars, (ii) Australian dollars (limited to A$50.0 million), (iii) Canadian dollars (limited to C$70.0 million), or (iv) euros, yen, pounds sterling, Swiss francs or other agreed foreign currencies (limited to €250.0 million), and (c) a $50.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars (together with the multicurrency revolving credit facility, the “revolving credit facilities”). The 2022 facilities are due on December 9, 2027. In connection with the refinancing in 2022 of the 2019 facilities (as defined below), the Company paid debt issuance costs of $8.9 million (of which $1.4 million was expensed as debt modification costs and $7.5 million is being amortized over the term of the 2022 facilities) and recorded debt extinguishment costs of $1.3 million to write off previously capitalized debt issuance costs.

The multicurrency revolving credit facility also includes amounts available for letters of credit and has a portion available for the making of swingline loans. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swingline loan reduces the amount available under the multicurrency revolving credit facility. So long as certain conditions are satisfied, the Company may add one or more senior unsecured term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the revolving credit facilities by an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500.0 million. The lenders under the 2022 facilities are not required to provide commitments with respect to such additional facilities or increased commitments.

The Company had loans outstanding of $476.6 million, net of debt issuance costs and based on applicable exchange rates, under the Euro TLA facility and no borrowings outstanding under the 2022 senior unsecured revolving credit facilities as of January 29, 2023.

The terms of the Euro TLA facility require the Company to make quarterly repayments of amounts outstanding, commencing with the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2023. Such required repayment amounts equal 2.50% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Closing Date, paid in equal installments and subject to certain customary adjustments, with the balance due on the maturity date of the Euro TLA facility. The outstanding borrowings under the 2022 facilities are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs). Any voluntary repayments made by the Company would reduce the future required repayment amounts.

The Company made no payments on its term loan under the 2022 facilities during 2022. The Company made payments of $487.8 million on its term loans under the 2019 facilities during 2022, which included $22.5 million of mandatory payments and the $465.3 million repayment of the 2019 facilities in connection with the refinancing of the senior credit facilities. The Company made payments of $1,051.3 million on its term loans under the 2019 facilities during 2021, which included the repayment of the outstanding principal balance under its United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility (the “USD TLA facility”). The Company made payments of $14.4 million on its term loans under the 2019 facilities during 2020.

The euro-denominated borrowings under the Euro TLA facility and multicurrency revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to a euro interbank offered rate (“EURIBOR”) and the euro-denominated swing line borrowings under the 2022 facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an adjusted daily simple euro short term rate (“ESTR”), calculated in a manner set forth in the 2022 facilities, plus in each case an applicable margin.

The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2022 facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either a base rate or an adjusted term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), calculated in a manner set forth in the 2022 facilities, plus an applicable margin.

The borrowings denominated in other foreign currencies under the 2022 facilities bear interest at various indexed rates specified in the 2022 facilities and are calculated in a manner set forth in the 2022 facilities, plus an applicable margin.

The current applicable margin with respect to the Euro TLA Facility as of January 29, 2023 was 1.250%. The current applicable margin with respect to the revolving credit facilities as of January 29, 2023 was 0.125% for loans bearing interest at the base rate, Canadian prime rate or daily simple ESTR rate and 1.125% for loans bearing interest at the EURIBOR rate or any other rate specified in the 2022 facilities. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Euro TLA facility and each revolving
credit facility is subject to adjustment (i) after the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements, with respect to each of the Company’s fiscal quarters, based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio or (ii) after the date of delivery of notice of a change in the Company’s public debt rating by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s.

The 2022 facilities contain customary events of default, including but not limited to nonpayment; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; cross-default to material indebtedness; certain material judgments; certain events related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; and a change in control (as defined in the 2022 facilities).

The 2022 facilities require the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a maximum net leverage ratio. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the 2022 facilities. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which would result in acceleration of the Company’s other debt.

2019 Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities

On April 29, 2019, the Company entered into senior unsecured credit facilities (as amended, the “2019 facilities”). The Company replaced the 2019 facilities with the 2022 facilities. The 2019 facilities consisted of a €500.0 million euro-denominated Term Loan A facility, of which €440.6 million was outstanding as of the date it was replaced, and senior unsecured revolving credit facilities consisting of (i) a $675.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (ii) a C$70.0 million Canadian dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Canadian dollars, (iii) a €200.0 million euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in euro, Australian dollars and other agreed foreign currencies and (iv) a $50.0 million United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Hong Kong dollars. The 2019 facilities had also previously included a $1,093.2 million USD TLA facility. The Company repaid the remaining principal balance of $1,029.6 million under its USD TLA facility in 2021.

The Company had entered into interest rate swap agreements designed with the intended effect of converting notional amounts of its variable rate debt obligation under the 2019 facilities to fixed rate debt. Under the terms of the agreements, for any outstanding notional amount, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the one-month LIBOR was eliminated and the Company paid a fixed rate plus the current applicable margin. The following interest rate swap agreements were entered into or in effect during 2021 and 2020 (no interest rate swap agreements were entered into or in effect during 2022):

(1)    The Company terminated in 2021 the interest rate swap agreements due to expire in February 2022 and February 2023 in connection with the early repayment of the outstanding principal balance under its USD TLA facility.

The 2019 facilities also required the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio. Given the disruption to the Company’s business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to ensure financial flexibility, the Company amended the 2019 facilities in June 2020 to provide temporary relief of certain financial covenants until the date on which a compliance certificate was
delivered for the second quarter of 2021 (the “relief period”) unless the Company elected earlier to terminate the relief period and satisfied the conditions for doing so (the “June 2020 Amendment”). The June 2020 Amendment provided for the following during the relief period, among other things, the (i) suspension of compliance with the maximum net leverage ratio through and including the first quarter of 2021, (ii) suspension of the minimum interest coverage ratio through and including the first quarter of 2021, (iii) addition of a minimum liquidity covenant of $400.0 million, (iv) addition of a restricted payment covenant and (v) imposition of stricter limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness and liens. The limitation on restricted payments required that the Company suspend payments of dividends on its common stock and purchases of shares under its stock repurchase program during the relief period. The June 2020 Amendment also provided that during the relief period the applicable margin would be increased 0.25%. The Company terminated early, effective June 10, 2021, this temporary relief period and, as a result, the various provisions in the June 2020 Amendment described above were no longer in effect.
