Revolving Credit Facility

In December 2018, we amended our Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, and a syndicate of lenders.  The amended credit agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility with a line of credit of up to $250 million (with an additional $50 million accordion feature) and extends the maturity date to December 2023.  The line of credit under the amended credit agreement also allows for a $10 million line of credit to Canada as part of the $250 million available for borrowing.  Direct borrowings under the amended credit agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% based on our borrowing availability, or floating at the alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% based on our borrowing availability, at our option.  The amended credit agreement is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and secured by certain of our assets.

Borrowings under the amended credit agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets, including accounts receivable, inventory and certain fixed assets, and those of certain of our subsidiaries.  Availability under the amended credit agreement is based on a formula of eligible accounts receivable, eligible drafts presented to the banks under our factoring agreements, eligible inventory, eligible equipment and eligible fixed assets.  After taking into account outstanding borrowings under the amended credit agreement, there was an additional $203.1 million available for us to borrow pursuant to the formula at December 31, 2018.  Outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement, which are classified as current liabilities, were $43.7 million and $57 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  Borrowings under the credit agreement have been classified as current liabilities based upon the accounting rules and certain provisions in the agreement.

At December 31, 2018, the weighted average interest rate on our amended credit agreement was 3.9%, which consisted of $40 million in direct borrowings at 3.4% and an alternative base rate loan of $3.7 million at 5.8%.  At December 31, 2017, the weighted average interest rate on our credit agreement was 2.7%, which consisted of $57 million in direct borrowings.  Our average daily alternative base rate loan balance was $1.8 million and $3.8 million during 2018 and 2017, respectively.

At any time that our borrowing availability is less than the greater of either (a) $25 million, or 10% of the commitments if fixed assets are not included in the borrowing base, or (b) $31.25 million, or 12.5% of the commitments if fixed assets are included in the borrowing base, the terms of the amended credit agreement provide for, among other provisions, a financial covenant requiring us, on a consolidated basis, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1:1 at the end of each fiscal quarter (rolling four quarters).  As of December 31, 2018, we were not subject to these covenants.  The amended credit agreement permits us to pay cash dividends of $20 million and make stock repurchases of $20 million in any fiscal year subject to a minimum availability of $25 million.  Provided specific conditions are met, the amended credit agreement also permits acquisitions, permissible debt financing, capital expenditures, and cash dividend payments and stock repurchases of greater than $20 million.

Polish Overdraft Facility

Our Polish subsidiary, SMP Poland sp. z.o.o., has entered into an overdraft facility with HSBC Bank Polska S.A. (“HSBC Poland”) for Zloty 30 million (approximately $8 million).  The facility, as amended, expires in December 2019.  Borrowings under the overdraft facility will bear interest at a rate equal to WIBOR + 0.75% and are guaranteed by Standard Motor Products, Inc., the ultimate parent company.  At December 31, 2018 and 2017, borrowings under the overdraft facility were Zloty 19.9 million (approximately $5.3 million) and Zloty 16.2 million (approximately $4.7 million), respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs

We have deferred financing costs of approximately $1.1 million and $1 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  Deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2018 are related to our revolving credit facility.  In connection with the amendment to our Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, entered into in December 2018, we incurred and capitalized approximately $0.5 million of deferred financing costs related to bank, legal, and other professional fees which are being amortized, along with the preexisting deferred financing costs, through 2023, the term of the amended agreement.

Scheduled amortization for future years, assuming no prepayments of principal is as follows:
