There were no letters of credit issued under the multi-currency revolving credit facility at March 31, 2024 or June 30, 2023. Availability to use this borrowing capacity depends upon, among other things, the levels of our Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio, which, in turn, will depend upon (1) our Credit Facility Net Debt relative to our Credit Facility EBITDA and (2) Credit Facility EBITDA relative to total interest expense, respectively. As a result, our availability will increase if EBITDA increases (subject to the limit of the facility) and decrease if EBITDA decreases. While we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Amended Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2024, and currently expect to continue to maintain such compliance, should we encounter difficulties, our historical relationship with our Amended Credit Agreement lending group has been strong and we anticipate their continued support of our long-term business.
