The company has significant exposure to rising interest rates on its $1.59 billion of variable-rate debt, with every 1% increase costing an additional $16 million in annual interest. This creates a strong incentive for the treasury team to explore hedging strategies or debt refinancing to mitigate this direct hit to profitability.
Filing excerpt
As of January 2, 2026, the outstanding balance on our variable rate debt was $1.59 billion and a one percent increase in the variable rate of interest would increase our annual interest expense by $16 million.
