The Company has an ABL Facility with its first lien holder with advances on the line being supported by eligible accounts receivable, parts, and otherwise unencumbered new and used equipment inventory and rental equipment. The ABL Facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $300 million and interest cost is the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin or the CB Floating Rate, depending on the borrowing. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an outstanding ABL Facility balance of $159.1 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. The effective interest rate was 2.0% at December 31, 2020.

The interest cost for the first lien lender floor plan facility is LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The effective interest rate at December 31, 2020 was 2.9%. The floor plan is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an outstanding balance on their first lien lender floor plan facility of $35.3 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs.

Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) Captive Lenders and Suppliers’ Floor Plans

The Company has floor plan financing facilities with several OEM captive lenders and suppliers for new and used inventory and rental equipment, each with borrowing capacities ranging from $2.0 million to $102.0 million. Primarily, the Company utilizes the facilities for purchases of new equipment inventories.  Certain floor plans provide for up to twelve-months interest only or deferred payment periods. In addition, certain floor plans provide for interest and principal free terms at the suppliers’ discretion. The Company routinely sells equipment that is financed under OEM captive lender floor plans prior to the original maturity date of the financing agreement. When this occurs, the related OEM captive lender floor plan payable becomes due to be paid at the time the equipment being financed is sold.  

With the recent acquisitions, the Company’s floor plan financing facilities with its OEM capital lenders and suppliers were amended to include the new locations and new entities. The floor plan financing facilities are secured by the equipment being financed, and contain operating company guarantees. The interest is LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The effective rates, excluding the favorable effect of interest-subsidies, as of December 31, 2020 ranged from 3.1% to 6.5%. As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had an outstanding balance on these OEM floor plans of $122.2 million and $122.6 million, respectively.

The total aggregate amount of floor plan financing (including the first lien lender floor plan) facilities cannot exceed $225.0 million at any time. The total balance related to floorplan financing as of December 31, 2020 was $157.5 million excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. For the years ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company recognized interest expense associated with new equipment financed under its floor plan facilities of $2.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

Maximum borrowings under the floor plans and ABL Facility are limited to $525 million. The total amount outstanding as of December 31, 2020 was $316.6 million, exclusive of debt issuance and deferred financings costs of $1.5 million.
