Note 6. Debt and Capital Lease Obligations

Credit Facility

On April 22, 2013, in connection with the acquisition of BDNA, the Company entered into a new $650,000 Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility, which matures on April 22, 2018, provides for a five-year unsecured revolving loan facility in the aggregate amount of $400,000 and a five-year unsecured term loan facility in the aggregate amount of $250,000. The Credit Facility replaced the Company’s previous $200,000 Credit Facility, dated June 8, 2011.

 

The Credit Facility also permits the Company, at its request, and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, to add one or more incremental term loan facilities and/or increase the revolving loan commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200,000. Subject to certain limitations, each such incremental term loan facility or revolving commitment increase will be on terms as agreed to by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such financing.

 

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, either at (i) the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) rate plus the applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranging from 1.00% to 1.375%, based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio; or (ii) the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate in effect on such day, (b) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day, plus 0.50% and (c) the LIBOR rate that would be calculated as of such day in respect of a proposed LIBOR loan with a one-month interest period, plus 1.00%, plus, in the case of each of clauses (a) through (c), an applicable margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.375%, based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Company is required to pay a quarterly undrawn fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.20% per annum on the unutilized portion of the Credit Facility based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Company is also required to pay quarterly letter of credit usage fees ranging between 1.00% to 1.375% (based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio) on the amount of the daily average outstanding letters of credit, and a quarterly fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each letter of credit. The applicable borrowing rate for the Company for any borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility at March 1, 2014 was 1.16%, which represents LIBOR plus 1.0%. Based on the interest period the Company selects, interest may be payable every one, two, three or six months. Interest is reset at the end of each interest period. The Company currently elects to have loans under the Credit Facility bear interest based on LIBOR with one-month interest periods.

 

The Credit Facility contains several restrictive covenants including the requirement that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of no more than 3.00 to 1.00, and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of EBITDA to total interest expense of at least 3.00 to 1.00, during the term of the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

The Company financed $370,000 of the BDNA purchase price with the proceeds of the unsecured term loan facility and a portion of the unsecured revolving loan facility. The Company repaid $120,000 of the revolving loan facility during fiscal 2013. During the twenty-six week period ended March 1, 2014, the Company borrowed $50,000 under the revolving loan facility and repaid $10,000 of the revolving loan facility.

 

As of March 1, 2014, there were $243,750 and $40,000 of borrowings outstanding under the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility, respectively, of the Credit Facility, of which $58,750 represents current maturities. As of August 31, 2013, there were $250,000 of borrowings outstanding under the term loan facility of the Credit Facility, of which $12,500 represents current maturities, and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. At March 1, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the operating and financial covenants of the Credit Facility.

 

Capital Lease and Financing Obligations

In connection with the construction of the Company’s new customer fulfillment center in Columbus, Ohio, the Company entered into an arrangement with the Finance Authority which provides savings on state and local sales taxes imposed on construction materials to entities that finance the transactions through them. This arrangement consists of the Finance Authority issuing taxable bonds to finance the structure and site improvements of the Company’s customer fulfillment center. The Finance Authority holds the title to the building and entered into a long-term lease with the Company. The lease has a 20-year term with a prepayment option without penalty between 7 and 20 years. At the end of the lease term, the building’s title is transferred to the Company for a nominal amount when the principal of and interest on the bonds have been fully paid. The lease has been classified as a capital lease in accordance with ASC Topic 840. At March 1, 2014 and August 31, 2013, the capital lease obligation was approximately $26,024 and $2,000, respectively. The non-cash financing activity related to the capital lease for the twenty-six week period ended March 1, 2014 was $24,024.

 

From time to time, the Company enters into capital leases and financing arrangements to purchase certain equipment. The equipment acquired from these vendors is paid over a specified period of time based on the terms agreed upon. During the twenty-six week period ended March 1, 2014, the Company entered into a financing obligation for certain information technology equipment totaling $254. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013, the Company entered into various capital leases and financing obligations for certain information technology equipment totaling $1,854.  

 

The amount due under all capital leases and financing arrangements at March 1, 2014 was approximately $28,240, of which $1,571 represents current maturities and at August 31, 2013 was approximately $5,750, of which $1,684 represents current maturities.  The net book value of the property and equipment acquired under these capital leases and financing agreements at March 1, 2014 and August 31, 2013 was approximately $29,190 and $6,734, respectively.
