The agreement extends the maturity date of the company's revolving credit facility to August 3, 2031, and expands total borrowing capacity by $25 million to an aggregate of $125 million. As of August 3, 2026, borrowings outstanding under the facility totaled $81.0 million. The amended facility carries pricing based on consolidated leverage, with an initial applicable margin of 1.625% per annum for Term SOFR advances and 0.625% for base rate advances, alongside an initial commitment fee of 0.225% on unused commitments. Covenants require maintaining a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.50:1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.50:1.00. The refinancing bolsters liquidity and extends Hackett's debt maturity profile to support ongoing operations and strategic transformation initiatives.

• Extended facility maturity by five years to August 3, 2031, under an amended agreement with Bank of America, N.A.

10-Q Financial Filing Analysis for The Hackett Group (2026-08-05)

The Hackett Group, Inc. reported its Q2 2026 financial results, with total revenue declining 12.2% year-over-year to $69.3 million compared to $78.9 million in Q2 2025. The contraction was primarily driven by elongated client decision-making cycles as enterprise customers assess the ROI of Gen AI-first adoption strategies. To adapt, the company incurred $0.5 million in restructuring charges during the quarter ($2.4 million year-to-date) related to workforce reductions aimed at realigning headcount with market demand and shifting delivery toward proprietary Gen AI platforms. Subsequent to the quarter on August 3, 2026, the company expanded its financial flexibility by amending its credit facility with Bank of America, extending its maturity and increasing borrowing capacity by $25 million to $125 million.

• Q2 2026 total revenue decreased to $69.3 million, down from $78.9 million in Q2 2025, due to elongated enterprise decision-making cycles around Gen AI.
• Restructuring expenses related to workforce reductions and the Gen AI strategic pivot totaled $0.5 million for Q2 and $2.4 million for the six-month period ended June 26, 2026.
• On August 3, 2026, the company amended its credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., increasing total borrowing capacity by $25 million to $125 million and extending the maturity date.
