Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Flux Power Holdings, Inc. reported that it failed to meet the minimum EBITDA financial covenant for the trailing three-month period ended March 31, 2026 under its Loan and Security Agreement with Gibraltar Business Capital, LLC, triggering an Event of Default.

The company is negotiating an amendment or waiver with Gibraltar, which is currently allowing continued access to the line of credit but may limit access or accelerate repayment. As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding balance under the loan agreement was about $6.5 million.

Positive

None.

Negative

EBITDA covenant default and Event of Default under the Loan and Security Agreement with Gibraltar Business Capital, giving the lender the right to terminate commitments or accelerate approximately $6.5 million in outstanding obligations.

Insights

EBITDA covenant breach creates default risk around a $6.5M credit line.

Flux Power failed the minimum EBITDA covenant for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which constitutes an Event of Default under its Loan and Security Agreement with Gibraltar Business Capital. This gives the lender significant discretion over the facility.

Although Gibraltar is currently permitting access to the line of credit while negotiations proceed, it can restrict borrowing or declare all obligations immediately due and payable. The filing notes an outstanding balance of about $6.5 million, so any acceleration or termination would pressure liquidity.

The company has renegotiated this agreement before and expresses optimism about securing an amendment or waiver, but explicitly cautions that there is no assurance of success or favorable terms. Future disclosures on any amendment, waiver, or changes in credit access will be key to understanding ongoing financing flexibility.

Event of Default financial

"which resulted in an “Event of Default” under the Loan Agreement"

An event of default is a specific breach of a loan or bond agreement—such as missed payments or breaking agreed rules—that gives lenders the legal right to act, for example by demanding immediate repayment, seizing collateral, or accelerating other obligations. For investors, it’s a red flag because it can sharply reduce a company’s ability to operate or raise money, like a car lender repossessing a vehicle after missed payments, and often leads to falling share or bond prices.

Loan and Security Agreement financial

"under the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2023"

A loan and security agreement is a legal contract that sets out the amount, repayment schedule, interest and the rules a borrower must follow, and it names specific assets a lender can claim if the borrower fails to pay. Think of it like a mortgage or car loan where the lender holds a claim on collateral until the debt is repaid. Investors care because it determines a company’s repayment priorities, borrowing costs, operational limits and how easily creditors can seize assets in distress, all of which affect equity value and credit risk.

financial covenant financial

"failed to comply with the minimum EBITDA financial covenant for the trailing three-month period"

A financial covenant is a clause in a loan or credit agreement that requires a borrower to keep specific financial measures—such as cash levels, profit, or debt ratios—within agreed limits. Investors watch these rules because breaking them can let lenders demand immediate repayment, impose penalties, or restrict a company’s ability to pay dividends or take on new projects; think of it as house rules that, if violated, can force sudden, costly changes.

secured party financial

"which include, among other things, its rights as a secured party under the Loan Agreement"

forward-looking statements regulatory

"This on contains “forward-looking statements” relating to the Company’s business"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On March 31, 2026, Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) determined that the Company failed to comply with the minimum EBITDA financial covenant for the trailing three-month period ended March 31, 2026 under the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2023 (as amended to date, the “Loan Agreement”), by and between the Company and Gibraltar Business Capital, LLC (“GBC”), which resulted in an “Event of Default” under the Loan Agreement. The Company is working with GBC to negotiate an amendment to the Loan Agreement or otherwise obtain a waiver from GBC. GBC has allowed the Company to continue to have access to its line of credit under the Loan Agreement while negotiations continue, however, GBC can choose to limit this access at any time until the Company can successfully negotiate an amendment to the Loan Agreement or obtain a waiver from GBC. While the Company has in the past successfully renegotiated the terms of the Loan Agreement, and is optimistic about its ability to do so again, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to negotiate an amendment to the Loan Agreement or obtain a waiver from GBC on terms favorable to the Company or at all. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, GBC may, at its option, declare its commitments to the Company terminated and all obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement immediately due and payable, all without demand, notice or further action of any kind required on the part of GBC, and/or exercise other remedies available to it, which include, among other things, its rights as a secured party under the Loan Agreement. As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding balance under the Loan Agreement was approximately $6.5 million.
