Indebtedness

Note 17:  Indebtedness

In October 2022, the Company executed an amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a multi-currency $275.0 million revolving credit facility and U.S. dollar- and euro-denominated term loan facilities maturing in October 2027. In addition, the credit agreement provides for shorter-duration swingline loans. This credit agreement modified the Company’s then existing $250.0 million revolver and term loan facilities, which would have matured in June 2024.

In connection with the credit agreement modification during fiscal 2023, the Company incurred $2.2 million of debt issuance costs. Of these costs, the Company deferred $1.5 million, which will be amortized as interest expense over the term of the debt, and recorded $0.7 million as interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company paid $0.6 million for debt issuance costs during fiscal 2023 and the remaining issuance costs were added to the new term loan principal at the time of the modification.

Long-term debt consisted of the following:

	Fiscal year of maturity	March 31, 2023			March 31, 2022
Term loans	2028	$	215.7		$	163.7
5.9% Senior Notes	2029		100.0			100.0
5.8% Senior Notes	2027		33.3			41.7
Revolving credit facility	2028		-			64.9
Other (a)			2.7			3.2
			351.7			373.5
Less: current portion			(19.7	)		(21.7	)
Less: unamortized debt issuance costs			(2.7	)		(3.4	)
Total long-term debt		$	329.3		$	348.4

(a) Other long-term debt primarily includes finance lease obligations.

Long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, matures as follows:

Fiscal Year
2024	$	19.7
2025		19.7
2026		44.7
2027		44.7
2028		197.4
2029 and beyond		25.5
Total	$	351.7

Borrowings under the revolving credit, swingline and term loan facilities bear interest at a variable rate, based upon the applicable reference rate and including a margin percentage dependent upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as described below. At March 31, 2023, the weighted-average interest rate for the term loans was 6.0 percent. Based upon the terms of the credit agreement, the Company classifies borrowings under its revolving credit and swingline facilities as long-term and short-term debt, respectively, on its consolidated balance sheets.

At March 31, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings related to the revolving credit and swingling facilities and domestic letters of credit totaled $5.4 million. As a result, available borrowing capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility was $269.6 million as of March 31, 2023. At March 31, 2022, the Company’s borrowings under its revolving credit and swingline facilities totaled $64.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

The Company also maintains credit agreements for its foreign subsidiaries. The outstanding short-term borrowings related to these foreign credit agreements totaled $3.7 million and $0.7 million at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Indebtedness under the Company’s credit agreement and Senior Note agreements is secured by liens on substantially all domestic assets. These agreements further require compliance with various covenants that may limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness; grant liens; make investments, loans, or guarantees; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and make restricted payments including dividends. In addition, the agreements may require prepayment in the event of certain asset sales.

Financial covenants within its credit agreements require the Company to limit its consolidated indebtedness, less a portion of its cash balances, both as defined by the credit agreements, to no more than three and one-quarter times consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other adjustments (“Adjusted EBITDA”.) The Company must also maintain a ratio of Adjusted EBITDA of at least three times consolidated interest expense. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

The Company estimates the fair value of long-term debt using discounted future cash flows at rates offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated fair value, with the exception of the Senior Notes, which had an aggregate fair value of approximately $125.9 million and $138.9 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 4 for the definition of a Level 2 fair value measurement.
