Credit Facility Credit Facility
On October 31, 2018, we entered into a First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of lenders. On November 30, 2022, we refinanced the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility by entering into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (also referred to herein as the “Credit Facility”) with the existing lenders. The Credit Facility provides a senior secured loan facility of up to $300,000,000 consisting of: (i) a revolving loan facility (“Revolving Loan Facility”) with a borrowing limit of $150,000,000, including a $20,000,000 letter of credit sublimit and a swingline loan credit sublimit of $15,000,000; (ii) a $50,000,000 term loan A (“Term Loan”); and (iii) an accordion feature allowing us to make a request to borrow up to an additional $100,000,000 subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions, including approval by our lenders. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of October 31, 2024 (“Maturity Date”). In connection with entering the Credit Facility, we capitalized $3,809,000 of financing costs, and accounted for the amendment to the Credit Facility as a debt modification.

As of October 31, 2023, the amount outstanding under our Credit Facility was as follows:

Non-current portion of long-term debt$— $160,029,000 

At October 31, 2023, we had $604,000 of standby letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Facility related to guarantees of future performance on certain customer contracts and no outstanding commercial letters of credit. During the three months ended October 31, 2023, we had outstanding balances under the Credit Facility ranging from $165,025,000 to $184,625,000.

As of October 31, 2023, total net deferred financing costs related to the Credit Facility were $2,376,000 and are being amortized over the term of our Credit Facility through the Maturity Date.

Interest expense related to our Credit Facility, including amortization of deferred financing costs, recorded during the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022 was $4,910,000 and $2,240,000, respectively. Our blended interest rate approximated 10.54% and 5.85%, respectively, for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022.

Borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility and Term Loan are either: (i) Alternate Base Rate borrowings, which would bear interest from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to (x) the highest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50% and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect on such day (or, if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) plus 1.00%, plus (y) the Applicable Rate, or (ii) SOFR borrowings, which would bear interest from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to (x) the Adjusted Term SOFR for such interest period plus (y) the Applicable Rate. Determination of the Applicable Rate is based on a pricing grid that is dependent upon our Leverage Ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial statements have been most recently delivered.
The Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative covenants. The Credit Facility also contains customary conditions to drawing the Revolving Loan Facility and customary negative covenants, subject to negotiated exceptions, including but not limited to: (i) liens, (ii) investments, (iii) indebtedness, (iv) significant corporate changes, including mergers and acquisitions, (v) dispositions, including the disposition of assets by any Loan Party to any Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Loan Party, (vi) restricted payments, including stockholder dividends, (vii) distributions, including the repayment of subordinated intercompany and third party indebtedness, and (viii) certain other restrictive agreements. The Credit Facility also contains certain financial covenants and customary events of default (subject to grace periods, as appropriate), such as payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency, the occurrence of a defined change in control and the failure to observe the negative covenants and other covenants related to the operation of our business. In addition, under certain circumstances, we may be required to enter into amendments to the Credit Facility in connection with any further syndication of the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility provides for, among other things: (i) scheduled payments of principal under the Term Loan totaling $2,500,000 in the first year after closing (of which $2,500,000 was paid through October 31, 2023), and $5,000,000 in the second year after closing, with the remaining balance of the Term Loan due upon maturity; (ii) a maximum Leverage Ratio of 3.75x TTM Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") at the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2023, stepping down to 3.50x at the fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2024 and thereafter; (iii) a Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.25x TTM Adjusted EBITDA; and (iv) Minimum Liquidity of $25,000,000.

As of October 31, 2023, our Secured Leverage Ratio was 3.53x TTM Adjusted EBITDA compared to the maximum allowable Secured Leverage Ratio of 3.75x TTM Adjusted EBITDA. Our Interest Expense Coverage Ratio as of October 31, 2023 was 3.37x TTM Adjusted EBITDA compared to the Minimum Interest Expense Coverage Ratio of 3.25x TTM Adjusted EBITDA. Our Minimum Liquidity was $29,240,000 compared to the Minimum Liquidity requirement of $25,000,000.

The obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). As collateral security under the Credit Facility and the guarantees thereof, we and the Guarantors have granted to the administrative agent, for the benefit of the lenders, a lien on, and first priority security interest in, substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Credit Facility, which has been documented and filed with the SEC.

The Credit Facility Maturity Date is one year out from the balance sheet date and, because as of such date we have not entered into an agreement to extend the Maturity Date or refinance our existing Credit Facility, the outstanding amount is classified as a current liability on the balance sheet as of October 31, 2023. In anticipation of the upcoming Maturity Date, we engaged third-party financial advisors to assist us with the refinancing of our existing Credit Facility and/or amending or restructuring our Convertible Preferred Stock, seeking other sources of credit or outside capital and evaluating other capital structure-related alternatives.

Subsequent Event
On November 7, 2023, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (also referred to herein as the “Amended Credit Facility”) with our existing lenders. The amendment was entered into in connection with the PST Sale.

The Amended Credit Facility provides a senior secured loan facility of up to $200,000,000 consisting of: (i) a revolving loan facility (“Revolving Loan Facility”) with a borrowing limit of $150,000,000, including a $20,000,000 letter of credit sublimit; (ii) a $50,000,000 term loan A (“Term Loan”) which had an outstanding balance of $47,500,000 at October 31, 2023. The Amended Credit Facility provided a modification of prepayment terms to allow 50% of the net proceeds from the PST Sale to prepay the Term Loan.
The Amended Credit Facility provides the following additional updates effective January 31, 2024, among others: (i) our borrowing limit under the Revolving Loan Facility reduces to $140,000,000 from $150,000,000 and reduces by an additional $5,000,000 each quarter, thereafter; (ii) the Term Loan amortization increases from $1,250,000 to $1,875,000; (iii) the accordion feature is eliminated; (iv) the swingline loan is reduced to $0; and (v) the Applicable Rate increases 0.25%. There are no changes to the financial covenants discussed above.
