At March 31, 2018, after considering interest rate swaps, as described in Note 10, Fair Value Measurements, that fixed the interest rate on $1.1 billion of the principal amount of the Amended and Restated 2016 Term Loan, approximately 57% of the Company’s total debt was at a fixed rate and approximately 43% was at a floating rate.

Revolving Credit Agreement—The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement, dated October 20, 2015, as amended, is USF’s asset backed senior secured revolving loan facility (the “ABL Facility”) and provides for loans of up to $1,300 million, with its capacity limited by a borrowing base.

As of March 31, 2018, USF had $35 million of outstanding borrowings, and had issued letters of credit totaling $411 million under the ABL Facility. Outstanding letters of credit included: (1) $79 million issued to secure USF’s obligations with respect to certain facility leases, (2) $329 million issued in favor of certain commercial insurers securing USF’s obligations with respect to its self-insurance program, and (3) $3 million in letters of credit for other obligations. There was available capacity on the ABL Facility of $854 million at March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018, USF can periodically elect to pay interest at an alternative base rate (“ABR”), as defined in the ABL Facility, or the London Inter Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus applicable interest rate spreads as provided for in the agreement. The interest rate spreads are the lowest provided for in the agreement, based upon USF’s consolidated secured leverage ratio (as defined in the agreement).

Accounts Receivable Financing Program—Under the 2012 ABS Facility, USF sells, on a revolving basis, its eligible receivables to the Receivables Company. See Note 6, Accounts Receivable Financing Program.  

The maximum capacity under the 2012 ABS Facility is $800 million. Borrowings under the 2012 ABS Facility were $470 million at March 31, 2018. The Company, at its option, can request additional borrowings up to the maximum commitment, provided sufficient eligible receivables are available as collateral. There was available capacity on the 2012 ABS Facility of $259 million at March 31, 2018 based on eligible receivables as collateral.

Amended and Restated 2016 Term Loan Agreement—The Amended and Restated 2016 Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated June 27, 2016, as amended (the “Amended and Restated 2016 Term Loan”), consists of a senior secured term loan under which USF can periodically elect to pay interest at ABR plus 1.50% or LIBOR plus 2.50%, with a LIBOR floor of zero. The interest rate spread on both ABR and LIBOR borrowings can be further reduced 25 basis points to either ABR plus 1.25% or LIBOR plus 2.25%, if USF’s consolidated secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated 2016 Term Loan) is equal to or less than 1.75:1.00 at the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. At March 31, 2018, USF’s consolidated secured leverage ratio exceeded 1.75:1.00. The table above reflects the March 31, 2018 interest rate on the unhedged portion of the principal amount of the Amended and Restated 2016 Term Loan. The interest rate on the $1.1 billion of the principal amount of the Amended and Restated 2016 Term Loan subject to hedging agreements is 4.21%.

Restrictive Covenants

The credit facilities, loan agreements and indentures contain customary covenants. These include, among other things, covenants that restrict USF’s ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, create or permit liens on assets, pay dividends, or engage in mergers or consolidations. As of March 31, 2018, USF had $790 million of restricted payment capacity under these covenants, and approximately $2,056 million of its net assets were restricted after taking into consideration the net deferred tax assets and intercompany balances that eliminate in consolidation.
