The Company is party to an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank (formerly known as Branch Banking and Trust Company), consisting of a $75 million revolving credit facility expiring in May 2023, a term loan maturing in February 2024 (“2017 Term Loan”) and a term loan maturing in January 2026 (“2018 Term Loan”). The revolving credit facility, 2017 Term Loan and 2018 Term Loan are collectively referred to as the “Credit Facilities.”

 

Obligations outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan have a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of between 0.85% and 1.65% (based on the Company’s funded debt to EBITDA ratio) (1.00% at December 31, 2020). Obligations outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the 2017 Term Loan generally have a variable interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a margin of between 0.68% and 1.50% (based on the Company’s funded debt to EBITDA ratio) (0.83% at December 31, 2020). The available balance under the revolving credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. As of December 31, 2020, there were $25.7 million of letters of credit outstanding. 

 

On March 30, 2020, the Company entered into debt deferment agreements with Truist Bank to: (i) defer contractual principal and interest payments due between April 1, 2020 and June 1, 2020 under the 2017 Term Loan and 2018 Term Loan until their respective maturity dates; and (ii) defer contractual interest payments due between April 1, 2020 and June 1, 2020 under the revolving credit facility until its maturity date. Contractual principal payments for the 2017 Term Loan are as follows: 2021 through 2023 - $6.0 million per year; and 2024 - $3.0 million. Contractual principal payments for the 2018 Term Loan are as follows: 2021 through 2025 - $9.3 million per year; and 2026 - $3.1 million. The term loans do not contain prepayment penalties.

 

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and negative covenants, including but not limited to those governing indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, investments, restricted payments, and sales of assets. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 1.25:1 and a funded debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not to exceed 5.0:1. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with these ratios. The Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the operating assets of the Company as collateral, and the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facilities are guaranteed by all of its domestic subsidiaries. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facilities are subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Credit Agreement.

 

On February 8, 2021, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Truist Bank (the “Restated Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the maximum availability under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility was increased from $75.0 million to $125.0 million and its maturity date was extended until February 8, 2026. The 2017 Term Loan and the 2018 Term Loan remain outstanding with the same amortization schedules. The floor on LIBOR for the revolving credit facility was increased from zero to 0.25%, but the interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loans were not otherwise modified. The covenants, events of default and substantially all of the other terms that were contained in the Credit Agreement remain unchanged in the Restated Credit Agreement. The Credit Facilities continue to be secured by substantially all of the operating assets of the Company as collateral, and the Company’s obligations thereunder continue to be guaranteed by all of its domestic subsidiaries. See Note 19 for further information on the Restated Credit Agreement.

 

The Company is a party to an interest rate swap with a total notional value of $9.8 million as of  December 31, 2020 pursuant to which it makes fixed payments and receives floating payments. The Company entered into the interest rate swap to offset changes in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in the associated variable interest rates. The Company’s interest rate swap expires in February 2024. The interest rate swap is not designated as a hedge transaction. Changes in fair value and gains and losses on settlement on the interest rate swap are recognized in interest expense in our statements of comprehensive income. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, a loss of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, was recognized on the interest rate swap.
