Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use, designation and type of the derivative instrument. The Company does not designate any of its derivatives as hedges and, as such, records all changes in fair values as a component of earnings. Using derivative instruments means assuming counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk relates to the loss the Company could incur if a counterparty were to default on a derivative contract. The Company primarily deals with investment grade counterparties and monitors its overall credit risk and exposure to individual counterparties. The Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any counterparties. The amount of counterparty credit exposure is the unrealized gains, if any, on such derivative contracts. The Company does not require, nor does it post collateral, or security, on such contracts. The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. As a result, the Company enters into derivative transactions to manage these exposures. The primary risks 41 Table of Contents managed through the use of derivative instruments are fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Fluctuations in these rates and prices can affect the Company’s operating results and financial condition. The Company manages the exposure to these market risks through operating and financing activities and through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Interest Rate Risk Borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan totaled $1,940 million at September 30, 2025. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest, at the option of the applicable Borrower, at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus (a) the applicable base rate or (b) Term SOFR (both rates as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement). As of September 30, 2025, the applicable margins for the Term Loan were 1.25% with respect to adjusted base rate loans and 2.25% with respect to Term SOFR loans. An assumed 10% increase/decrease in the current interest rate in effect at September 30, 2025 would increase/decrease annual interest expense $4.9 million on the non-hedged portion of the borrowing. On August 21, 2025, the Company finalized an amendment to our Credit Agreement, which reduced the applicable margin on the Term Loan and RCF. The result is an interest rate on our Term Loan of SOFR plus a margin of 2.25% and an interest rate on our RCF of SOFR plus a margin of 2.25%. Additionally, the amendment contains opportunities for further margin reductions contingent upon achieving improvements in our leverage ratio and rating agency upgrades. Effective September 3, 2024, the Company entered into a $600.0 million interest rate swap agreement to hedge a portion of our interest rate risk related to our long-term borrowings. Under the swap, which matures on September 1, 2027, the Company pays a fixed rate of 3.61% and receives or pays monthly interest payments based upon a comparison to the one-month Term SOFR rate. Effective April 1, 2025, the Company entered into a $150.0 million interest rate swap agreement to hedge a portion of our interest rate risk related to our long-term borrowings. Under the swap, which matures on April 3, 2028, the Company pays a fixed rate of 3.36% and receives or pays monthly interest payments based upon a comparison to the one-month Term SOFR rate. Foreign Currency Risk The Company has manufacturing, sales, and distribution facilities in the Czech Republic, China and Thailand. The Company also has various sales and distribution facilities in Brazil, France, Spain, Italy, Germany and the United Arab Emirates. The Company also makes investments and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The vast majority of the Company’s international sales from its domestic operations are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, the Company is exposed to transactional and translational foreign exchange risk related to its foreign operations. Regarding transactional foreign exchange risk, the Company from time to time enters into certain forward exchange contracts to reduce the variability of the earnings and cash flow impacts of foreign denominated receivables and payables. The Company does not designate these contracts as hedge transactions. Accordingly, the mark-to-market impact of these contracts is recorded each period to current earnings. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding foreign currency contracts. 42 Table of Contents The Company’s primary translation exchange risk exposures at September 30, 2025 were the euro, Czech koruna, and Thai baht. Amounts invested in non-U.S. based subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at period end. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss)/income as foreign currency translation adjustments. Commodity Risk The Company is subject to the effects of changing raw material and component costs caused by movements in underlying commodity prices. The Company purchases raw materials and components containing various commodities including nickel, zinc, aluminum and copper. The Company generally buys these raw materials and components based upon market prices that are established with the vendor as part of the procurement process. From time to time, the Company enters into contracts with its vendors to lock in commodity prices for various periods to limit its near-term exposure to fluctuations in raw material and component prices. In addition, the Company enters into commodity forward contracts, for commodities such as nickel, copper and aluminum, to reduce the variability on its earnings and cash flows of purchasing raw materials containing such commodities. The Company does not designate these contracts as hedge transactions. Accordingly, the mark-to-market impacts of these contracts are recorded each period to current earnings. At September 30, 2025, the Company was managing $0.8 million notional value of nickel forward contracts and $0.1 million notional value of copper forward contracts. At December 31, 2024, the Company was managing $1.7 million notional value of nickel forward contracts. The Company presents its derivatives at gross fair values in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and does not maintain derivative contracts which would require financial instrument or collateral balances.
