ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair values or to future cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes. Market risk is attributed to all market risk sensitive financial instruments, including long-term debt.
As of January 2, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $65.9 million. This amount represents cash on hand in business checking accounts with our banks. We do not engage in trading activities and do not participate in foreign currency transactions.
We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our Term Loan A (“TLA”) and borrowings, if any, under our Revolving Credit Facility, each of which bears interest at variable rates. As of January 2, 2026, the Company had a fully drawn $50.0 million TLA with $48.8 million outstanding, a $100.0 million Revolving Credit Facility with no borrowed amounts, and $1.6 million in letters of credit issued, and a $50.0 million Delayed Draw Term Loan with no borrowed amounts. Each of our TLA, Revolving Credit Facility and Delayed Draw Term Loan mature on May 5, 2030 and are governed by our Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, (as described in Part II, Item 8, Note 5, “ Debt Obligations ,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K), borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facilities bear interest at either a Base Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) or the adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), at the Company’s option, and in each case, plus an applicable margin, which applicable margin ranges from 0.50% to 1.50% with respect to Base Rate borrowings and 1.50% to 2.50% with respect to SOFR borrowings, depending on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement); provided, that SOFR and the Base Rate cannot be less than 0.00%, with the specific pricing reset on each date on which the Administrative Agent receives the required financial statements under the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter then ended. The Company must also pay a commitment fee for the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which ranges from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum depending on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio, and fees on the face amount of any letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, which range from 1.125% to 1.875% per annum, in each case, depending on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio, as well as customary fronting fees payable to BMO as letter of credit issuer. Based upon the amount of our outstanding indebtedness as of January 2, 2026, a one percentage point increase in the effective interest rate, inclusive of our interest rate swap agreement, would change our annual interest expense by approximately $0.5 million in fiscal year 2025.
The TLA will amortize quarterly in an amount equal to 5.0% per annum beginning with the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Closing Date, with a final payment of all then remaining principal and interest due on the maturity date of May 5, 2030. Each borrowing under the Delayed Draw Term Loan will amortize in an amount equal to 5.0% per annum of the aggregate outstanding borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan, beginning with the first full fiscal quarter ending after the initial borrowing date, with a final payment of all then remaining principal and interest due on the maturity date of May 5, 2030. The amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facilities may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs) .
On November 30, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for $50.0 million notional amount. The interest swap agreement was designated as a cash flow hedge to fix the variable interest rate on a portion of the outstanding principal amount under our Term Loan. The interest rate swap fixed rate is 4.77% and expires on September 29, 2026.
