Long-term debt | 5. Long-term debt Senior credit facility In September 2022, the Company entered into a five-year, $110,000,000 senior credit facility (“Facility”) with a group of US banks. The Facility consists of (i) a delayed-draw term loan facility of $85,000,000, of which $64,000,000 has been drawn as of December 31, 2024, (ii) a term loan of $5,000,000 that was drawn at closing, and (iii) a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility. The Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and is subject to certain financial covenants with which the Company was in compliance as of December 31, 2024. A summary of the balances on the Facility as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 is as follows: As of As of December 31, 2024 September 30, 2024 Delayed-draw term loan $ 57,600 $ 58,400 Term loan 4,438 4,500 Revolving credit facility 8,600 6,323 Total principal 70,638 69,223 Deferred financing costs (1,302) (1,430) Net carrying value $ 69,336 $ 67,793 Current portion 3,228 3,248 Long-term portion 66,108 64,545 Net carrying value $ 69,336 $ 67,793 As of December 31, 2024, scheduled repayments of the Facility are as follows: Twelve months ended December 31, Amount 2025 $ 3,450 2026 3,450 2027 63,738 Total $ 70,638 The delayed-draw term loan and the term loan bear interest at a weighted average of 7.2% as of December 31, 2024, and will reprice within two months. The rate is based on a secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), with a floor of 0.5%, plus a spread of 2.1% to 2.85% (2.65% as of December 31, 2024) based on the Company’s leverage To manage the risks of the cash flows related to interest expense, the Company entered into several interest rate swaps on $59,000,000 of the principal amount of the Facility during the year ended September 30, 2024. The swaps carry a fixed SOFR of 3.4% to 4.4%, resulting in a weighted combined rate of 6.8%. The swaps are settled quarterly and mature on September 30, 2025, on September 30, 2026, and at the Facility’s maturity. Any difference between the Facility’s SOFR rate and the swap’s rate is recorded as interest expense. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, a reduction of $105,000 and $31,000, respectively, to interest expense was recorded in the condensed consolidated interim statements of income (loss). Interest expense on the Facility, including the impact of the interest rate swap agreements, was $1,310,000 and $1,362,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the fair value of the interest rate swap liability, which was determined using Level 2 inputs of market conditions on future expected interest rates, credit worthiness, and the current terms of debt, was $84,000 and $1,122,000, and is recorded in derivative liability – interest rate swaps in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded changes in fair value of derivative liability – interest rate swaps of a gain of $1,038,000 and a loss of $(902,000), respectively, on the condensed consolidated interim statements of income (loss). The Company has incurred financing costs to obtain and maintain the Facility, which is reflected as a reduction of the outstanding balance and will be amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the Facility. During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, $153,000 and $130,000 of amortization of deferred financing costs was recorded, respectively. Equipment loans The Company is offered financing arrangements from the Company’s suppliers and the supplier’s designated financial institution, in which payments for certain invoices or products can be financed and paid over an extended period. The financial institution pays the supplier when the original invoice becomes due, and the Company pays the third-party financial institution over a period of time. In most cases, the supplier accepts a discounted amount from the financial institution and the Company repays the financial institution the face amount of the invoice with no stated interest, in twelve equal monthly installments. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate of 7.2% to 8.0% to impute interest on these arrangements. Following is the activity in equipment loans for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023: Three months ended Three months ended December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Beginning balance $ 12,859 $ 14,347 Additions 6,010 5,777 Repayments (6,483) (6,864) Ending balance 12,386 13,260 Current portion 12,351 13,086 Long-term portion $ 35 $ 174 Leases liabilities The Company enters into leases for real estate and vehicles.
