-
Low capital intensity limits market risk

What to watch
-
Debt covenants constrain flexibility
Despite the $195.8 million term-loan repayment, management states that indebtedness from the MarshBerry Acquisition remains subject to restrictive covenants. These covenants limit additional indebtedness, line-of-credit draws, acquisitions and asset sales, potentially constraining flexibility.
-
Cash is concentrated at one bank
U.S. cash deposits may exceed FDIC insurance limits and are held predominantly at one institution, Bank of America, N.A. A loss or disruption at that institution could affect working-capital liquidity.
-
Foreign-exchange exposure remains
The filing states there were 0 material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Prospectus. Existing exposure remains to foreign-currency movements involving the Euro and Pound Sterling against the U.S. dollar, although management cites a natural hedge from matching inflows and outflows.
