The Company is required to make quarterly minimum principal payments totaling $5.0 million annually on the term loan until its maturity date; this amount is included in other current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Taking into consideration the $5.0 million annual required principal payments, the balance due at maturity will be $466.3 million.
Senior Secured Credit Facility — In March 2024, the Company amended its senior secured credit facility (the "facility") with a 50-basis point reduction in the term loan B ("term loan") interest rate. As a result, borrowings under the $495.0 million term loan bear interest, at the Company's election, at (i) the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") plus 1.75 percent, or (ii) the bank’s base rate plus 1.00 percent. Related to the debt amendment there were $0.9 million of costs. The Company accounted for the debt amendment as a modification and, accordingly, these costs were expensed as incurred. There was an insignificant amount of previously capitalized costs that were written off. Borrowings under the $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the "revolver") bear interest, at the Company's election, at (i) SOFR plus a 10 basis points adjustment plus 2.00 to 3.00 percent, or (ii) the bank’s base rate plus 1.00 to 2.00 percent, depending on leverage levels. A commitment fee of 0.30 to 0.45 percent is payable on the undrawn portion of the revolver. The facility is subject to various restrictive covenants including, when amounts are drawn under the revolver, a maximum ratio of senior secured debt to trailing-twelve-months of lender-defined consolidated EBITDA of 3.75 to 1, which was 1.07 to 1 at September 30, 2024. The facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and at September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.
Unsecured Senior Notes— The Company has $550.0 million of unsecured senior notes, due in 2028, which bear interest at 4.625 percent payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. These notes are unsecured obligations and are subordinate to the senior secured credit facility. These notes also contain certain customary limitations including, the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers and acquisitions, transfer or sell assets, and make certain distributions.
- Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, and collective class and Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA") actions alleging violations of wage and hour laws. The Company does not believe that the disposition of matters that are pending or asserted will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
- Income Taxes
For interim reporting periods, the Company’s provision for income taxes is calculated using its annualized estimated effective tax rate for the year. This rate is based on its estimated full year income and the related income tax expense for each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. The effective tax rate can be affected by changes in the geographical mix, permanent differences, and the estimate of full year pretax accounting income. This rate is adjusted for the effects of discrete items occurring in the period.

- Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements — The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued payroll approximate their fair value based on their short-term nature.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements — Certain assets, such as goodwill and trademarks, are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as, when there is evidence of impairment. There were no fair value adjustments for non-financial assets or liabilities during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
The carrying amount of long-term debt recorded in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2024 was $1.0 billion (see Note 3. Long-Term Debt) and its fair value, determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1 inputs), was slightly less than the carrying value.
