| Debt | (5) Debt Debt is summarized as follows:
Senior Notes On October 7, 2020, GCI, LLC issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes due 2028 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes are unsecured and interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The Senior Notes are redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price defined in the indenture, and accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of redemption. The Senior Notes are stated net of an aggregate unamortized premium of $13 million at March 31, 2026. Such premium is being amortized to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Senior Credit Facility On March 25, 2025, GCI, LLC entered into the Ninth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Senior Credit Facility”), which refinanced in full and replaced the prior senior credit facility with (x) a new $450 million revolving credit facility, with a $35 million sublimit for letters of credit, that matures on March 25, 2030 (or, to the extent the Senior Notes remain outstanding, the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the Senior Notes or the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of any indebtedness with a maturity date that is 91 days prior to March 25, 2030 that is used to refinance any of the Senior Notes) and (y) a $300 million Term Loan A (“Term Loan A”) that matures on March 25, 2031 (or, to the extent the Senior Notes remain outstanding, the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the Senior Notes). The revolving credit facility borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility that are alternate base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the alternate base rate plus a margin that varies between 0.50% and 1.25% depending on GCI, LLC’s total leverage ratio. The revolving credit facility borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility that are SOFR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR plus a margin that varies between 1.50% and 2.25% depending on GCI, LLC’s total leverage ratio. Term Loan A borrowings that are alternate base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the alternate base rate plus a margin that varies between 1.00% and 1.75% depending on GCI, LLC’s total leverage ratio. Term Loan A borrowings that are SOFR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR plus a margin that varies between 2.00% and 2.75% depending on GCI, LLC’s total leverage ratio. Principal payments are due quarterly on the Term Loan A equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount, which may step up to 1.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A depending on GCI, LLC’s secured leverage ratio. Each loan may be prepaid at any time and from time to time without penalty other than customary breakage costs. Any amounts prepaid on the revolving credit facility may be reborrowed. The Senior Credit Facility also has a commitment fee that accrues at a per annum rate between 0.300% and 0.375% on the daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility depending on GCI, LLC’s total leverage ratio. The interest rate on the Senior Credit Facility was 5.6% and 6.2% at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. GCI, LLC’s first lien leverage ratio may not exceed 4.00 to 1.00. The terms of the Senior Credit Facility include customary representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants and customary events of default. At any time after the occurrence of an event of default under the Senior Credit Facility, the lenders may, among other options, declare any amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility immediately due and payable and terminate any commitment to make further loans under the Senior Credit Facility. The obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are secured by a security interest on substantially all of the assets of GCI, LLC and the subsidiary guarantors, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, and on the stock of GCI Holdings. As of March 31, 2026, there was $296 million outstanding under the Term Loan A, $70 million outstanding under the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility and $3 million in letters of credit under the Senior Credit Facility, leaving $377 million available for borrowing. Fair Value of Debt The fair value of the Senior Notes was $581 million at March 31, 2026 (Level 2). Due to the variable rate nature of the Senior Credit Facility and Wells Fargo Note Payable, the Company believes that the carrying amounts approximate fair value at March 31, 2026. |
