FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

NOTE 4. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

We had a credit agreement with Bank of America, which was entered into on June 15, 2017 and provides for a line of credit arrangement of $16,000, that was to expire on June 15, 2026.

On February 29, 2024, we replaced the asset backed line of credit agreement with a $15,000 Senior Secured Revolving Line of Credit with Bank of America (the “Revolver”). The Revolver allows for borrowings at a defined base rate, or at the one, three or six month Secured Overnight Finance Rate, also known as “SOFR,” plus a defined margin. If the Company prepays SOFR borrowings before their contractual maturity, the Company has agreed to compensate the bank for lost margin, as defined in the Revolver agreement. The Company is required to quarterly pay a 20-basis point fee on the unused portion of the Revolver.

The Revolver requires the Company to maintain no more than 2.5 times leverage ratio and at least a 1.25 times minimum fixed charges coverage ratio, both of which are defined in the Revolver agreement. The Company met the covenants for the period ended September 30, 2024. There are no subjective acceleration clauses under the Revolver that would accelerate the maturity of outstanding borrowings. The Revolver contains certain covenants which, among other things, require the Company to adhere to regular reporting requirements, abide by shareholder dividend limitations, maintain certain financial performance, and limit the amount of annual capital expenditures. The Revolver is secured by substantially all the Company’s assets and expires on February 28, 2027. We were in compliance with all the financial covenants related to this agreement as of and for the period ended September 30, 2024, except for the covenant related to operating expense contributions to our Mexican operations in the first and second quarters of 2024 in excess of the amounts allowed under the Revolver. We received a waiver of this event of default from the bank in August 2024.

Under the amended Bank of America credit agreement signed February 29, 2024, the line of credit is subject to variations in the SOFR index rate. Under the prior credit agreement with Bank of America, the line of credit borrowing availability was restricted by a defined asset borrowing base, and interest was based on variations in the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield (BSBY) index rate. Our line of credit bears interest at a weighted-average interest rate of 7.9% and 8.3% as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We had borrowings on our line of credit of $9,550 and $5,846 outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 we had unused availability on the line of credit of $5,450.

The Company has an interim funding agreement as of September 30, 2024 with a bank related to $317 of deposits made on equipment purchases that will be funded through a finance lease when the equipment is received and operational. As of September 30, we have $317 outstanding on the interim funding agreement for equipment we expect to receive in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The line of credit is shown net of debt issuance costs of $42 and $31 on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
