Debt | Debt The following table summarizes our outstanding debt: (in millions) November 30, August 31, ABL Credit Facility $ — $ — Senior Secured Notes 300.0 300.0 2030 Convertible Notes 350.0 350.0 2025 Convertible Notes 59.3 59.3 Total debt, gross 709.3 709.3 Unamortized debt issuance cost, net (12.4) (13.1) Current maturities of long-term debt, net (59.2) (59.1) Long-term debt, net $ 637.7 $ 637.1 Credit Agreements On July 15, 2022, we amended and restated our asset-backed revolving credit agreement ("ABL Credit Facility") to, among other things, increase the commitments available from $192.5 million to $350.0 million and extend the maturity date from October 22, 2024 to July 15, 2027 (subject to certain factors which may accelerate the maturity date). The $350.0 million credit facility is on a revolving basis, subject to availability under a borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The ABL Credit Facility is available for issuance of letters of credit to a specified limit of $35.0 million. We pay a commitment fee of 0.25% based on the average daily amount of the facility available, but unused during the most recent quarter. We can elect to base the interest rate on various rates plus specific spreads depending on the borrowing amount outstanding. If drawn, interest on ABL Credit Facility borrowings is at a floating rate based upon our election, either term SOFR or REVSOFR30 (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility agreement), plus, in each case, a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, as well as an applicable spread between 1.25% and 1.75%, depending on the usage of the facility during the most recent quarter. Based on current usage, we would pay an applicable spread of 1.25%. In connection with the amendment, we capitalized $1.2 million of issuance costs that are being amortized over the five-year term of the ABL Credit Facility. Senior Secured Notes On July 8, 2020, we closed our private offering (the “Senior Secured Notes Offering”) of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes were issued in accordance with an Indenture dated as of July 8, 2020 (the “Indenture”). The Senior Secured Notes will mature on July 15, 2028 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes accrues starting July 8, 2020 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, which began on January 15, 2021. Debt issuance costs incurred and capitalized are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the associated debt agreement. If early principal payments are made on the Senior Secured Notes, a proportional amount of the unamortized debt issuance costs is expensed. As part of the Senior Secured Notes Offering, we capitalized $7.5 million in debt issuance costs that are being amortized over the eight-year term of the agreement. 2030 Convertible Notes On January 23, 2024, we issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% unsecured convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “2030 Convertible Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' transaction fees and offering expenses payable by us, were approximately $339.8 million. The 2030 Convertible Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 3.25%, payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2024, and will mature on January 15, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 2030 Convertible Notes may be converted at any time on or after July 15, 2029, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding their maturity date. Upon conversion, we will settle the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes in cash, and any conversion premium in excess of the principal amount in cash, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election. The initial conversion rate of the 2030 Convertible Notes was 11.3724 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $87.93 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of events specified in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest on any 2030 Convertible Note being converted. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes) during the make-whole fundamental change conversion period (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes), we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by the number of additional shares described in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes for a holder that elects to convert such holder’s 2030 Convertible Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change. As of November 30, 2024, there have been no changes to the initial conversion rate. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 15, 2029, the 2030 Convertible Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: 1. during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended on March 31, 2024 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes) per share of the common stock is more than 130% of the applicable conversion price (as defined in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes) on each applicable trading day for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; 2. during the five consecutive business day period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period to the 2030 Convertible Notes") in which the trading price (as defined in the 2030 Convertible Notes) per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period to the 2030 Convertible Notes was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the common stock and the conversion rate for the 2030 Convertible Notes on each such trading day; 3. upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events set forth in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes; or 4. if we call such 2030 Convertible Notes for redemption (as described below). The 2030 Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after January 15, 2028 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time (as set forth in the Indenture to the 2030 Convertible Notes). The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. On January 18, 2024 and January 19, 2024, in connection with the offering of the 2030 Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the “2030 Hedge Transactions”) that cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2030 Convertible Notes. On January 18, 2024 and January 19, 2024, we also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions (collectively, the “2030 Warrant Transactions” and, together with the 2030 Hedge Transactions, the “2030 Call Spread Transactions”), whereby we sold warrants at a higher strike price relating to the same number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2030 Convertible Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The 2030 Hedge Transactions and the 2030 Warrant Transactions are separate transactions, and in each case, are not part of the terms of the 2030 Convertible Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the 2030 Convertible Notes. Holders of the 2030 Convertible Notes will not have any rights with respect to the 2030 Call Spread Transactions. Accounting Treatment of the 2030 Convertible Notes and Related 2030 Hedge Transactions and 2030 Warrant Transactions The 2030 Convertible Notes are accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. Interest expense, representing the amortization of the $10.2 million of debt issuance costs as well as the contractual interest expense are amortized using an effective interest rate of 3.8% over the term of the 2030 Convertible Notes. We recorded $3.2 million of interest expense during the three months ended November 30, 2024. The net after-tax cost incurred in connection with the 2030 Call Spread Transactions was $20.6 million. These transactions are classified as equity and are not remeasured each reporting period. 2025 Convertible Notes On November 1, 2019, we issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.5% unsecured convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Convertible Notes”), of which $59.3 million of aggregate principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes remain outstanding at November 30, 2024. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' transaction fees and offering expense payable by us, were approximately $290.2 million. The 2025 Convertible Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 1.5%, payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020, and will mature on April 1, 2025, unless earlier converted or repurchased by us. The 2025 Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, at our election, at an initial conversion rate of 15.6906 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $63.73 per share, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the 2025 Convertible Notes. The 2025 Convertible Notes may be converted at any time on or after October 1, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The conversion rate of the 2025 Convertible Notes may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in connection with a conversion of the 2025 Convertible Notes made following certain fundamental changes and under other circumstances set forth in the Indenture to the 2025 Convertible Notes. As of November 30, 2024, the conversion rate was 16.2082 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $61.70. The difference between the initial conversion rate and the conversion rate as of November 30, 2024 is due to cash dividends that have been declared following the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes. It is our current intent to settle all conversions of the 2025 Convertible Notes in cash. Our ability to cash settle may be limited depending on the stock price at the time of conversion. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding October 1, 2024, the 2025 Convertible Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: 1. during any calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2019 if the closing sale price of the common stock is more than 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; 2. during the five consecutive business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period to the 2025 Convertible Notes") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period to the 2025 Convertible Notes was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the common stock and the conversion rate for the 2025 Convertible Notes on each such trading day; or 3. upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events set forth in the Indenture for the 2025 Convertible Notes. We may not redeem the 2025 Convertible Notes at our option prior to the maturity date, and no sinking fund is provided for the 2025 Convertible Notes. On October 29, 2019 and October 30, 2019, in connection with the offering of the 2025 Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the “2025 Hedge Transactions”) that cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2025 Convertible Notes. On October 29, 2019 and October 30, 2019, we also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions (collectively, the “2025 Warrant Transactions” and, together with the 2025 Hedge Transactions, the “2025 Call Spread Transactions”), whereby we sold warrants at a higher strike price relating to the same number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2025 Convertible Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The 2025 Hedge Transactions and the 2025 Warrant Transactions are separate transactions, in each case, and are not part of the terms of the 2025 Convertible Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the 2025 Convertible Notes. Holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes will not have any rights with respect to the 2025 Call Spread Transactions. On January 18, 2024, we entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions (the "2025 Convertible Note Repurchases") with certain holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes to repurchase $240.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes using $293.8 million of the net proceeds received from the 2030 Convertible Notes. In connection with the 2025 Convertible Note Repurchases, we recorded a loss on note repurchase of $32.7 million in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income during the second quarter of Fiscal 2024. The loss on note repurchase represents the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred to the holders of the repurchased 2025 Convertible Notes and the conversion value of 2025 Convertible Notes repurchased pursuant to the original conversion terms. Concurrently with the 2025 Convertible Note Repurchases, we entered into agreements to terminate a proportionate amount of the 2025 Call Spread Transactions, which resulted in net proceeds of $30.5 million recorded as equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounting Treatment of the 2025 Convertible Notes and Related 2025 Hedge Transactions and 2025 Warrant Transactions The 2025 Convertible Notes are accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. Interest expense, representing the amortization of the remaining debt issuance costs as well as the contractual interest expense are amortized using an effective interest rate of 2.1% over the term of the 2025 Convertible Notes. We recorded $0.3 million and $1.6 million of interest expense during the three months ended November 30, 2024 and November 25, 2023, respectively. The 2025 Call Spread Transactions are classified as equity and are not remeasured each reporting period.
