Working capital facilities

The Company has a number of working capital facilities in various countries in which it operates. These facilities provide for a combined borrowing capacity of approximately $32.8 million for a number of working capital products. These facilities bear interest at benchmark rate plus margins between 3.0% and 4.5% and are due on demand. These facilities are collateralized by various Company assets and have a total outstanding balance of $22 million as of December 31, 2018.

On October 27, 2017, the Company entered into a Senior Term Agreement ("Term loan") to provide funding for the ESM Acquisition in the amount of $140 million for a five year term. The Term loan was fully funded on November 22, 2017 and is to be repaid based on a quarterly repayment schedule beginning six months after the first utilization date.

The Term loan has a floating interest rate of USD LIBOR plus 4.5% annually for the first year and thereafter the margin will range between 3.75% and 4.5% subject to certain financial ratios.

The Term loan is subject to certain covenants, whereby the Company is required to meet certain financial ratios and obligations on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

In connection with the Term loan, the Company incurred issuance costs of $7.3 million which are net against the Term loan on the balance sheet. Unamortized debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2018 amount to $5.5 million.

Secured revolving credit facility

The Company has a secured revolving credit facility which is effective through March 2022. Under this agreement, we may borrow the lesser of the borrowing base calculation and $50 million. As long as no default has occurred and with lender consent, we may increase the maximum availability to $70 million in $5 million increments. We may request letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of the borrowing base calculation (minus outstanding advances) and $5 million. The borrowing base is generally defined as 95% of our eligible accounts receivable less certain reserves.

Our borrowings bear interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% to 1.75%, depending on current availability. We will pay letter of credit fees equal to the applicable margin times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all letters of credit outstanding and a monthly unused fee at a rate per annum of 0.25% on the aggregate unused commitment. As of December 31, 2018, outstanding letters of credit totaled $893.

The agreement contains standard affirmative and negative covenants that may limit or restrict our ability to sell assets, incur additional indebtedness and engage in mergers and acquisitions. We are required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00:1.00, if a reporting trigger period commences. We were in compliance with applicable covenants as of December 31, 2018.

As of December 31, 2018, we had $31,152 of outstanding borrowings and our remaining borrowing capacity was $10,171.

We have entered into factoring agreements with financial institutions to sell certain of our accounts receivable under non-recourse agreements. These transactions are accounted for as a reduction in accounts receivable because the agreements transfer effective control over and risk related to the receivables to the buyers. We do not service any factored accounts after the factoring has occurred. We utilize factoring arrangements as part of our financing for working capital. The aggregate gross amount factored under these agreements was $4,040 for nine months ended December 31, 2018.

BMO Equipment Loan

On December 27, 2018, the Company executed an agreement to secure a loan against US and Canadian assets in the amount of $1.65 million at the interest of 7.568% per annum, to be repaid over 2.5 years. The loan was funded in January 2019.

Capital lease obligations

From time to time and when management believes it to be advantageous, we may enter into other arrangements to finance the purchase or construction of capital assets. For additional details refer note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies".
