Previous report
In June 2022, the Company, together with Dice Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dice Career Solutions, Inc., entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). Under the Credit Agreement, we had a $100 million revolving credit facility, with an expansion option of $50 million, bringing the total facility to $150 million, with $33.0 million of borrowings on the facility at March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $56.0 million available for future borrowings, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, which generally limited borrowings to 2.5 times annual Adjusted EBITDA levels. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. dollars bore 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, bore interest at the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") rate plus a margin. The applicable margin ranged 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 incurred 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 7.75% (the rate in effect on March 31, 2026) on our then-current borrowings, interest payments were expected to be $1.9 million from April 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026 and $1.3 million in 2027. The Credit Agreement contained 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, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

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 approximately 90% of 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 ClearanceJobs and Dice 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.

We may also make acquisitions and may need to raise additional capital through future debt financings or equity offerings to the extent necessary to fund such acquisitions, which we may not be able to do on a timely basis or on terms satisfactory to us or at all.
