In the three months ended March 29, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $9.4 million.

The increase in prepaids and other assets is primarily due to carrying new model year chassis to meet current year production needs for the upfitting product lines and, to a lesser degree, slowing sales of older model years. The change in our accounts receivable reflects the timing of customer collections. The change in our accounts payable is driven by timing of inventory purchases and vendor payments. The change in accrued expenses and other liabilities is primarily due to settlements of sales rebate accruals. The decrease in inventory reflects our continued efforts to optimize inventory levels.

The Amendment provided the Company with the Incremental Term A Loan in an amount of $400.0 million and the Delayed Draw Term Loan in an amount of $200.0 million, each of which are permitted under the 2022 Credit Facility, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. The Incremental Term A Loan was fully funded on November 14, 2023 and used to fund a portion of the consideration owed under the Marucci acquisition. The Delayed Draw Term Loan was available to the Company for up to six months commencing on December 6, 2023, until the earlier of (a) May 14, 2024 and (b) the date on which the Delayed Draw Term commitments have been terminated. Each Incremental Term Loan is subject to quarterly amortization payments of principal at a rate of 5.00% per annum. The Incremental Term Loans are in the form of term SOFR loans and base rate loans, at the option of the Company, and have an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% for base rate loans and 1.50% to 2.50% for term SOFR loans, subject to adjustment provisions. Each Incremental Term Loan has a maturity date of April 5, 2027, consistent with the 2022 Credit Facility.
Previous wording
The Company paid $10.1 million in debt issuance costs, of which $6.7 million were allocated to the Term A Loan and $3.4 million were allocated to the Delayed Draw Term Loan. Loan fees allocated to the Term A Loan are amortized using the interest method over the term of the Credit Facility. Loan fees allocated to the Delayed Draw Term Loan were deferred as an asset until the debt is drawn. Upon the drawing of the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the fees will be reclassified to a contra-liability account and amortized over the term of the drawn debt using the interest method.

Our gross margin decreased 110 basis points to 31.8% for the three months ended June 28, 2024 as compared to the same prior fiscal year period primarily due to a shift in our product line mix and reduced operating leverage on lower volume, partially offset by increased efficiencies at our North American facilities.
