We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including the effects of interest rate changes, commodity price risk and inflation. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below. For more information on our risk factors, including market risk factors, that could be materially harmful to our business, prospects, financial condition and/or financial results if they occur, please refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report.
Interest Rate Risk
The primary objective of our investment activities is to maintain cash reserves to meet captive insurance obligations, employee compensation and benefit obligations, and contractual obligations. A mismatch between the duration of liabilities and the duration of investments could expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates fluctuate, the value of assets may not adequately cover liabilities. And if our investments mature during a period of lower interest rates, we may face reinvestment risk and potentially earn less income on reinvested funds. We will continue to evaluate our investments in order to ensure that we continue to meet our overall objectives. We have a captive insurance arrangement in order to manage our casualty and operational risk.
We are exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to our long-term debt obligations, which bear interest at variable rates. As of June 30, 2026, we had $277.5 million outstanding under the Term Loan and no outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility. Outstanding amounts, if any, for the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility both bear interest at Term SOFR plus an applicable rate exposing us to higher interest rate risk.
As of June 30, 2026, the interest rate was 5.73% for the Term Loan. Therefore, a 1% increase to the variable interest rate would have increased the rate to 6.73% and increased our interest expense by approximately $2.7 million based on the expected balances outstanding for the Term Loan over the next 12 months as of June 30, 2026.
Going forward, the level of our interest rate risk will depend on our utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility and the outstanding debt amount under the Term Loan and will be sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. As disclosed in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, we are expecting to borrow under our Credit Agreement to help fund the acquisition of Epsilon Industries, which is expected to close later this year, and would expose us to further interest rate risk as mentioned above.
Commodity Price and Inflation Risk
Our operations are affected by fluctuations in commodity prices whether caused by inflation, imposed and proposed tariffs, involvement or indirect effects from global conflicts or other economic factors. These fluctuations in commodity prices generally affect us by increasing transportation and construction costs due to higher fuel or material and/or supply prices including, but not limited to, prices for copper, aluminum, steel, electrical components and certain plastics.
In addition, the cost of labor may increase due to similar factors mentioned above, such as inflation or other economic factors. While we do not believe that these factors have had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or financial results for the periods included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we continue to monitor the impact of such factors in order to minimize their effects through our pricing strategies, productivity improvements and cost reductions. If our costs were to become subject to significant economic and/or inflationary pressures, we may be unable to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and/or financial results.
