Filing receipts
“The decrease was partially offset by higher average borrowings outstanding under the Company's debt facilities following the PAG Acquisition and interest expense incurred on the amortizing notes issued in connection with the Company's February 2026 Units Offering.”
“The increase was also driven by cash provided in the prior period of $138.8 million from the Fleet Sale and FDS Sales, net of cash divested.”
“The decrease was primarily due to (i) interest income earned on excess cash proceeds from the Company's February 2026 underwritten public offerings prior to the use of such proceeds to fund the PAG Acquisition, (ii) interest income earned on a note receivable, (iii) lower average borrowings outstanding under the Company's debt facilities prior to the PAG Acquisition, and (iv) a decrease in the average interest rate on outstanding borrowings.”
