2022 Credit Agreement and Term Loan B
We have a credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders that was entered into on May 13, 2022 and was subsequently amended on August 17, 2023, December 20, 2023, March 20, 2024, September 24, 2024, February 27, 2025, and August 5, 2025 (collectively referred to herein as the "2022 Credit Agreement").
The 2022 Credit Agreement includes the following significant terms:
i.provides for a senior secured initial term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion (the "Term Loan B"), due May 13, 2029, which is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company; as of February 28, 2026, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan B was $335.0 million;
ii.provides for a maximum senior secured Revolving Credit Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), due May 13, 2027;
iii.includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $100.0 million, which is part of, and not in addition to, the Revolving Credit Facility;
iv.borrowings under the Term Loan B bear an interest rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 1.75% and the Revolving Credit Facility bears a leverage-based rate with various tiers between 1.75% and 2.75%; as of February 28, 2026, the interest rate was SOFR plus 1.75%;
v.includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default; including restrictions on the incurrence of non-ordinary course debt, investment and dividends, subject to various exceptions; and,
vi.includes a maximum quarterly leverage ratio financial covenant, with reporting requirements to our banking group at each quarter-end.

On August 5, 2025, we repriced the Term Loan B. The repricing reduced the margin from SOFR plus 2.50% to SOFR plus 1.75%.
During fiscal 2025, we repriced our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan B, which amended the 2022 Credit Agreement as follows:
i.On March 20, 2024, we repriced our Term Loan B. The repricing reduced the margin from SOFR plus 3.75% to SOFR plus 3.25%.
ii.On September 24, 2024, we repriced the Term Loan B. The repricing reduced the margin from SOFR plus 3.25% to SOFR plus 2.50%.
iii.On February 27, 2025, we repriced the Revolving Credit Facility, which has a leverage-based rate with various tiers. The repricing reduced the interest rate tiers from SOFR plus 2.75% to 3.50% to SOFR plus 1.75% to 2.75%.
We primarily utilize proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility to finance timing fluctuations of working capital needs, capital improvements, quarterly cash dividends, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.
As defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement, quarterly prepayments were due against the outstanding principal of the Term Loan B and were payable on the last business day of each May, August, November and February, beginning August 31, 2022, in a quarterly aggregate principal amount of $3.25 million, with the entire remaining principal amount due on May 13, 2029, the maturity date. Additional prepayments made against the Term Loan B contributed to these required quarterly payments. Due to prepayments made against the Term Loan B since August 31, 2022, the quarterly mandatory principal payment requirement has been met, and the quarterly payments of $3.25 million are no longer required.
Receivables Securitization Facility
On July 10, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement secured by our trade accounts receivable and contract assets (the "Receivables Securitization Facility.") Under this arrangement, we transferred our trade receivables to a special purpose entity ("SPE"), which in turn pledged those receivables as collateral for borrowings under the facility. The transaction does not qualify as a sale under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing; as a result, the arrangement is accounted for as a secured borrowing.
Accordingly, the receivables transferred to the SPE will remain on our consolidated balance sheet within trade accounts receivable and contract assets, and the Receivables Securitization Facility is included in "Long-term debt, net." The Receivables Securitization Facility has a limit of $150.0 million and is due July 10, 2028. As of February 28, 2026, the total amount of receivables pledged under the facility was $247.9 million, consisting of $136.5 million in trade accounts receivable and $111.4 million in contract assets, with outstanding borrowings of $130.0 million. The interest rate on the Receivables Securitization Facility is one-month SOFR plus 0.95%.
We remain exposed to the credit risk associated with the underlying receivables and are responsible for their collection. The Receivables Securitization Facility includes provisions that allow the SPE to take control of the assets only in the event of bankruptcy or violation of servicing the secured accounts receivable. We will monitor these provisions to ensure ongoing compliance and availability under the facility.
The proceeds from the Receivables Securitization Facility were used to pay down the Term Loan B.
Debt Compliance, Outstanding Borrowings, Letters of Credit and Future Principal Payments
Our 2022 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the loan agreement) no greater than 4.5. We are also required to maintain certain covenants under the Receivables Securitization Facility. As of February 28, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in the 2022 Credit Agreement and the Receivables Securitization Facility.
As of February 28, 2026, we had $515.0 million of debt outstanding, with varying maturities through fiscal 2030. We had approximately $358.1 million of additional credit available as of February 28, 2026.    
As of February 28, 2026, we had outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $12.0 million. These standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support insurance deductibles and other collateral requirements.
For each of the five years after February 28, 2026, required principal payments under the terms of the long-term debt are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Other Disclosures
The weighted average interest rate for our outstanding debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan B, and Receivables Securitization Facility was 5.94% and 7.54% at February 28, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We are also obligated to pay a leverage-based commitment fee with various tiers between 0.20% and 0.30% per year for unused amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of February 28, 2026, the commitment fee rate was 0.20%.
Interest expense is comprised as follows (in thousands):

Gross Interest expense$56,693 $88,394 $109,746 
Less: Capitalized interest(1,043)(7,112)(2,681)
Interest expense, net$55,650 $81,282 $107,065 
Capitalized interest relates to interest cost on the construction of the greenfield aluminum coil coating facility in Washington, Missouri. The decrease for fiscal 2026 compared to the prior year is due to the higher average construction work in process in the prior year, as the new facility was placed in service during fiscal 2026.
