6. DEBT

The Company’s debt consists of a revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding indebtedness, and the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 1.9%.

Revolving Credit Facility

On January 6, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with BB&T, as a lender, Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer and a Collateral Agent; Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) as a lender and a Collateral Agent; and BB&T Capital Markets (“BB&T Capital”), as Lead Arranger to amend the Credit Agreement. BB&T and Wells Fargo are referenced herein as the “Lenders.” These new agreements replace the previous revolver note, the swing advance note and the letter of credit facility, in their entireties and account for all of the Company’s debt capacity. No additional fees were due or owing as a result of the termination of the previous agreements.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to provide the Company with one or more revolving loans in a collective maximum principal amount of $100 million (the “Revolver Loans”).

Included within the Revolver Loan limit are sublimits for a Letter of Credit Facility in an amount not to exceed $15 million (the “Letter of Credit Facility”); and Swing Advances in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $5 million (the “Swing Advance Loan”). The Revolver Loans, the Letter of Credit Facility and the Swing Advance Loan are collectively referred to herein as the “Loans.” The Loans were obtained for the purpose of raising working capital and refinancing the Company’s existing indebtedness.

The Revolver Loans, the Swing Advances and the Letter of Credit Facility provide the Company, in the aggregate, the ability to borrow a principal amount not to exceed $100 million at any one time outstanding (the “Revolving Loan Limit”) (subject to certain Borrowing Base requirements as described in the Amended Credit Agreement which include limits on Eligible Accounts and Inventory as described in the Amended Credit Agreement and any written agreement which may be executed from time to time by the Company and each of the Collateral Agents). The Company is not obligated to borrow any amount under the Revolving Loan Limit. Within the Revolving Loan Limit, the Company may borrow or repay at any time or from time to time while the Revolving Loans are in effect.

Base Rate Advances (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) under the Revolver Loans and the Swing Advances accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) and Euro-Dollar Advances for the Revolver Loans and Swing Advances accrue interest at the Adjusted London InterBank Offered Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). Repayment of all then outstanding principal, interest, fees and costs is due on January 9, 2015.

 

The Letter of Credit Facility provides that upon the Company’s application, BB&T shall issue to the Company’s credit one or more letters of credit in the aggregate amount of up to $15 million, or such lesser amount as may be required by law. The Company shall reimburse BB&T for all amounts payable, including interest, under a Letter of Credit at the earlier of (i) the date set forth in the application or (ii) on business day after the payment under such Letter of Credit by BB&T.

On February 26, 2013, the Company entered into a First Amendment (“First Amendment”) to the Amended Credit Agreement dated as of January 6, 2012. Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement was amended to temporarily increase the maximum amount of the Revolver Loans from $100 million to $125 million during the period from February 26, 2013 through and including June 30, 2013 to meet seasonal cash requirements and reduce certain interest rate margins and costs. In conjunction with the First Amendment, the Revolver Notes executed by the Company to each of BB&T and Wells Fargo dated as of January 6, 2012 were amended and restated. The maximum amount of the Revolver Loans reverted to $100 million on July 1, 2013.

On December 17, 2013, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (“Second Amendment”) to the Amended Credit Agreement dated as of January 6, 2012, as amended by the First Amendment dated February 26, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Credit Agreement was amended to temporarily increase the maximum amount of the Revolver Loans from $100 million to $125 million during the period from January 1, 2014 through and including June 30, 2014 to meet seasonal cash requirements. No other material changes were made to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Amounts drawn under the Revolver Loans are subject to a borrowing base consisting of certain accounts receivables, inventories, machinery and equipment and real estate. At December 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver Loans and additional available borrowing capacity of approximately $71.9 million.

Compliance with Debt Covenants and Restrictions

The Company’s ability to make scheduled principal and interest payments, borrow and repay amounts under any outstanding revolving credit facility, and continue to comply with any loan covenants depends primarily on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations. To remain in compliance with financial covenants in the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain specified financial ratios based on levels of debt, capital, net worth, fixed charges, and earnings (excluding extraordinary gains and extraordinary non-cash losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, all of which are subject to the risks of the business, some of which are discussed in this report under “Risk Factors.” The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Loans at December 31, 2013. Under the Credit Agreement, the material financial covenants and restrictions are as follows:

 

  (a) Minimum Consolidated Net Worth. The Company agreed that it will maintain Consolidated Net Worth, measured as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ended December 31, 2011, of not less than $85 million.

 

  (b) Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Company agreed that it will not permit the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to be less than 1.15 to 1.0, measured as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ended December 31, 2011.

 

  (c) Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio. The Company agreed that it will not permit the Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio to exceed 3.5 to 1.0 measured as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter (and in the case of Consolidated EBITDA, for the four-quarter period ending on such date) after the date on which the Senior Subordinated Notes have been redeemed in full.

Failure to comply with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement could be considered a default of the Company’s repayment obligations and, among other remedies, could accelerate payment of any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
