NOTE 4 — DEBT

 

Credit Agreement

 

On December 19, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, Wells Fargo agreed to provide to the Company a credit facility of up to $45.0 million, consisting of a revolving credit facility, a term loan facility, and a letter of credit facility.  The Company had unused credit capacity of $35.0 million at April 1, 2017. Interest on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement is based on Wells Fargo’s prime rate or LIBOR depending on the pricing option selected and the Company’s leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) resulting in an effective interest rate of 3.06% at April 1, 2017 and 3.05% at December 31, 2016.  Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the financial covenants include a consolidated total leverage ratio, a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a limitation on annual capital expenditures, and a limitation on quarterly cash dividends. As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. The Credit Agreement is for a period of five years ending on December 19, 2017.  The Company expects to enter into a new credit agreement before the Credit Agreement expires.

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

The revolving credit facility provides for borrowings of up to $35.0 million. The revolving credit facility bears interest at (i) LIBOR plus a margin which varies from 1.50% to 2.50% based upon a leverage ratio of total indebtedness to trailing four quarter EBITDA or (ii) the higher of (a) the prime rate and (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% plus a margin which varies from 0.50% to 1.50% based upon the debt to EBITDA leverage ratio. The revolving credit facility also requires a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.50% per annum depending on the Company’s financial ratios and based upon the average daily unused portion.  As of April 1, 2017, and December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings against the revolving credit facility.

 

Term Loan Facility

 

The term loan facility provides for borrowings of up to $10.0 million. The term loan is secured by real estate and improvements, payable in quarterly installments of $166,667 commencing on June 28, 2013, plus interest at prime rate or LIBOR, with the remaining balance due upon maturity on December 19, 2017. As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the outstanding balance under the term loan facility was $7.3 million and $7.5 million, respectively.

 

On August 9, 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a portion of the term loan with a notional amount of $5.0 million. The interest rate swap agreement provides for a 3.1% fixed interest rate and matures on December 19, 2017. The Company designated this swap agreement as a cash flow hedge on its variable rate debt and records the fair value of the swap agreement as an asset or liability on the balance sheet, with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Letter of Credit Facility

 

Outstanding letters of credit, related to the Company’s workers’ compensation insurance policies, reduce available borrowings under the Credit Agreement. During 2014, the Company replaced all outstanding letters of credit with cash deposits with its insurance carriers. As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, cash deposits with insurance carriers totaled $1.9 million.
