Note 3. Bank revolving credit notes

On September 26, 2019, and as last amended on March 31, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (Credit Agreement) with certain lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the Agent). The Credit Agreement provides for a $200,000  revolving credit facility (the Revolving Loan), with a letter of credit sub-facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000, and a swingline facility in an aggregate amount of $20,000. The Credit Agreement also provides for an additional $100,000 of debt capacity through an accordion feature. All amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement mature on September 26, 2024.

The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability to, subject to certain exceptions, create, incur or assume indebtedness, create or incur liens, make certain investments, merge or consolidate with another entity, make certain asset dispositions, pay dividends or other distributions to shareholders, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into sale leaseback transactions or make capital expenditures. The Credit Agreement also requires us to satisfy certain financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 as well as a consolidated total leverage ratio not to exceed 3.25 to 1.00, although such leverage ratio can be increased in connection with certain acquisitions.

In order to provide a means of insurance against future macroeconomic events, we entered into an amendment (Second Amendment) to the Credit Agreement on June 30, 2020. The Second Amendment provides the Company with temporary changes to the total leverage ratio covenant for the period from June 30, 2020, through December 31, 2021, or such earlier date as the Company may elect (Covenant Relief Period), in return for certain increases in interest rates, fees and restrictions on certain activities of the Company, including capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and share repurchases. New pricing, which takes effect for the quarters ending on and after September 30, 2020, includes interest at a fluctuating London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) (at a floor of 75 basis points), plus 1.00% to 2.75%, along with the commitment fee ranging from 20 to 50 basis points.

 

During the Covenant Relief Period, the required ceiling on the Company’s total leverage ratio will be 4.25 to 1.00 for quarters ending June 30, 2020 through and including December 31, 2020, and will decline in quarterly increments to 3.25 to 1.00 through the quarter ending December 31, 2021.

Due to our recently announced relationship with a strategic new customer, we entered into an amendment (Third Amendment) to the Credit Agreement on March 31, 2021. The Third Amendment allows the Company to incur up to $70,000 of capital expenditures in 2021, as opposed to $35,000.

At March 31, 2021, our consolidated total leverage ratio was 1.42 to 1.00 as compared to a covenant maximum of 4.00 to 1.00 in accordance with the Second Amendment of the Credit Agreement.

At March 31, 2021, our interest coverage ratio was 10.85 to 1.00 as compared to a covenant minimum of 3.00 to 1.00 under the Credit Agreement.

Under the Credit Agreement, interest is payable quarterly at the adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on the current funded indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA ratio. The interest rate was 2.25% and 2.50% as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Additionally, the agreement has a fee on the average daily unused portion of the aggregate unused revolving commitments. This fee was 0.25% and 0.20% as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of its credit agreements as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The amount borrowed on the revolving credit notes was $46,475 and $45,257 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
