(1) At September 30, 2020 and 2019, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $736 and $782, respectively, were reclassified to Other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At September 30, 2020, we had outstanding borrowings of $12, $5,664 in outstanding letters of credit and $94,324 of availability under our revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo"). All amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility are due and payable in September 2024, upon expiration of our revolving credit facility, and all amounts described as available are available without triggering our financial covenant under the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below).

Our interest rate on our outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 1.48% at September 30, 2020. For the years ended September 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we incurred interest expense of $777, $1,857 and $1,946, respectively.
The Revolving Credit Facility

We maintain a $100,000 revolving credit facility that matures on September 30, 2024 pursuant to a credit agreement with Wells Fargo (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

Terms of the Amended Credit Agreement

The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, as well as customary events of default.

As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement, requiring that we maintain:

• a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), measured quarterly on a trailing four-quarter basis at the end of each quarter, of at least 1.1 to 1.0; and

• minimum Liquidity (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of at least twenty percent (20%) of the Maximum Revolver Amount (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), or $20,000; with, for purposes of this covenant, at least fifty percent (50%) of our Liquidity comprised of Excess Availability (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement).

At September 30, 2020, our Liquidity was $147,902 and our Excess Availability was $94,324 (or greater than 50% of minimum Liquidity), our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 8.3:1.0.

Our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is calculated as follows (with capitalized terms as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement): (i) our trailing twelve month EBITDA, less Non-Financed Capital Expenditures (other than capital expenditures financed by means of an advance under the credit facility), cash taxes and all Restricted Junior Payments (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) consisting of certain Pass-Through Tax Liabilities (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), divided by (ii) the sum of our cash interest (other than interest paid-in-kind, amortization of financing fees, and other non-cash interest expense) and principal debt payments (other than repayment of principal on advances under the credit facility and including cash payments with respect to capital leases), any management, consulting, monitoring, and advisory fees paid to an affiliate, and all Restricted Junior Payments (other than Pass-Through Tax Liabilities) and other cash distributions; provided, that if we make an acquisition consented to by Wells Fargo, the components of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated for such fiscal period after giving pro forma effect to the acquisition assuming that such transaction has occurred on the first day of such period (including pro forma adjustments arising out of events which are directly attributable to such acquisition, are factually supportable, and are expected to have a continuing impact, in each case to be reasonably agreed to by Wells Fargo).

As defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, EBITDA is calculated as consolidated net income (or loss), less extraordinary gains, interest income, non-operating income and income tax benefits and decreases in any change in LIFO reserves, plus stock compensation expense, non-cash extraordinary losses (including, but not limited to, a non-cash impairment charge or write-down), Interest Expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and increases in any change in LIFO reserves for such period, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

If in the future our Liquidity falls below $20,000 (or Excess Availability falls below 50% of our minimum Liquidity), our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is less than 1.1:1.0, or if we otherwise fail to perform or otherwise comply with certain of our covenants or other agreements under the Amended Credit Agreement, it would result in an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement, which could result in some or all of any indebtedness we may take on becoming immediately due and payable.
