Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2023, we held $268.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, with no restricted cash. Total interest- bearing debt was $1,094.5 million, comprised of our Term Loan due 2029 (the “Term Loan due 2029”). As of June 30, 2023, there was no balance outstanding on our $225.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. Effective April 15, 2023, we entered into two interest rate swaps to mitigate the floating interest rate risk on our Term Loan due 2029, which incurs interest based on SOFR. The interest rate swaps each have a fixed notional amount of $275.0 million and are not for trading purposes. The fixed rates paid by us on the interest rate swaps are 4.05% and 3.71%, and the variable rate received resets monthly to the one-month SOFR rate. The interest rate swaps mature on April 15, 2025 and April 15, 2026, respectively.
