Insights
TL;DR: The amendment materially expands liquidity and slightly lowers financing costs, providing greater borrowing capacity and flexibility through 2030.
The Seventh Amendment raises committed capacity to $900.0 million with an accordion to $1.05 billion, extending the maturity to 2030 which secures term funding availability. The reduction in the SOFR margin from 175 to 150 basis points and a 5-basis-point cut to the commitment fee lower the company’s potential cost of capital, conditional on leverage-based pricing tiers. Increased advance rates on certain inventory categories improve borrowing base calculations and can raise usable availability relative to inventory holdings. The facility had no outstanding cash borrowings as of June 30, 2025, though $88.5 million in letters of credit remain outstanding, which reduces undrawn capacity. Overall, the amendment strengthens short- to medium-term liquidity and preserves optionality for growth or refinancing needs.
TL;DR: Longer maturity and higher commitments reduce rollover risk, while leverage-linked pricing maintains incentive alignment with credit metrics.
Extending the maturity to September 18, 2030 and increasing commitments to $900.0 million materially reduces near-term refinancing risk by locking in bilateral lender support. The accordion to $1.05 billion provides a structured path to add capacity if market conditions and lender interest allow. Pricing remains variable and tied to leverage; the immediate reduction in margin and fees improves economics now but preserves lender remedy via leverage-based step-ups. The $88.5 million of letters of credit consume part of the facility capacity and should be monitored alongside inventory advance-rate changes to assess true available liquidity.
