Market risk (Item 3)
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-05-07
As of March 31, 2026, all borrowings outstanding under our senior secured revolving credit facility bore interest at floating rates. Borrowings under this facility may be made as either base rate loans or non-base rate loans, each of which accrues interest based on a benchmark rate plus an applicabl…
The revolving credit facility includes rate structures tied to prevailing market indices such as U.S. base rates and non-base rate (e.g., SOFR-based) reference rates. Because interest rates applicable to our borrowings fluctuate with changes in these benchmark rates, our interest expense is sensitiv…
Based on the amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2026, a 1% increase in the underlying benchmark rate would result in an increase in our interest expense for the first three months of 2026 of approximately $1 million, assuming borrowing levels remained constant fo…

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
