We derive the majority of our revenue from customers who pay fees, either annually, quarterly or monthly, to post jobs on our websites and to access our searchable databases of resumes. Our fees vary by customer based on the number of individual users of our databases of resumes, the number and type of job postings and profile views purchased and the terms of the packages purchased, which are predominately annual agreements. Our Company sells recruitment packages, which comprise greater than 90% or our total revenue, that can include access to our databases of resumes and job posting capabilities. We believe the key metrics that are material to an analysis of our businesses are our total number of Dice and ClearanceJobs recruitment package customers and the revenue, on average, that these customers generate. The Company's management uses these metrics to monitor the current and future activity of the businesses. The tables below detail this customer data.

Previous wording
However, it is possible that one or more lenders under the Credit Agreement may refuse or be unable to satisfy their commitment to lend to us, we may violate one or more of our covenants or financial ratios contained in our Credit Agreement or we may need to refinance our debt and be unable to do so. In addition, our liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for our products and services and the ability of our customers to pay for current or future services.

Current wording
Our principal internal sources of liquidity are cash, as well as the cash flow that we generate from our operations.

We have a $100 million revolving credit facility, which matures June 2027, with $41.0 million of borrowings on the facility at March 31, 2024, leaving $50.5 million available for future borrowings, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, which generally limits borrowings to 2.5 times annual Adjusted EBITDA levels. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest, payable at least quarterly, at the Company’s option, at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or a base rate, plus a margin. Borrowings under the credit agreement denominated in pounds sterling, if any, bear interest at the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% on SOFR and SONIA loans and 1.00% to 1.75% on base rate loans, determined by the Company's most recent consolidated leverage ratio, plus an additional spread of 0.10%. The Company incurs a commitment fee ranging from 0.35% to 0.50% on any unused capacity under the revolving loan facility, determined by the Company's most recent consolidated leverage ratio. Assuming an interest rate of 7.78% (the rate in effect on March 31, 2024) on our current borrowings, interest payments are expected to be $2.4 million from April 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, $3.2 million in each of 2025 and 2026, and $1.6 million in 2027. The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants and also contains certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 10 in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements and Item 3. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - Interest Rate Risk."

Our principal internal sources of liquidity are cash, as well as the cash flow that we generate from our operations. In addition, we had $50.5 million in borrowing capacity under our $100.0 million Credit Agreement, as defined below, at March 31, 2024. Borrowings are subject to certain availability limits including our consolidated leverage ratio, which generally limits borrowings to 2.5 times annual Adjusted EBITDA levels, as defined in the Credit Agreement. We believe that our existing cash, cash generated from our continuing operations and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our currently anticipated cash requirements through at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future thereafter.
