ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Debt Obligations under Credit Agreement
At September 25, 2022, our total debt obligations under our credit agreement were under SOFR-based interest rates. A 100-basis point increase in the underlying SOFR would result in additional annual interest cost of approximately $2.8 million, assuming average borrowings, including our term loan, subject to variable rates of $275.6 million, which was the amount of such borrowings outstanding at September 25, 2022 subject to variable rates. The $275.6 million excludes deferred financing costs related to the term loan.

LIBOR Transition
Beginning December 31, 2021, banks stopped reporting information used to set LIBOR as their reporting obligations ceased. The cessation of certain LIBOR tenures beginning as of December 31, 2021 and future cessation of other tenures, including the one-month LIBOR, effectively ended the usefulness of LIBOR and its publication. On August 11, 2022, we amended our existing credit agreement, as described in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement s , which provides for interest rate calculations based on the use of SOFR. The replacement of LIBOR with SOFR may result in interest payments that are higher than expected or that do not otherwise correlate over time with the payments that would have been made on such indebtedness for the interest periods if the applicable LIBOR rate was available in its current form.
Commodity Volatility
The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of lauan, gypsum, particleboard, aluminum, softwoods lumber, and petroleum-based products, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, such as the price of oil, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of certain commodities have historically been volatile and continued to fluctuate in the third quarter of 2022. During periods of volatile commodity prices, we have generally been able to pass both price increases and decreases to our customers in the form of price adjustments. We are exposed to risks during periods of commodity volatility because there can be no assurance future cost increases or decreases, if any, can be partially or fully passed on to customers, or that the timing of such sales price increases or decreases will match raw material cost increases or decreases. We do not believe that commodity price volatility had a material effect on results of operations for the periods presented.
