NOTE 8 - DEBT

The Company’s long-term debt as of September 30, 2022, and June 30, 2022, consisted of the following:

	December 31,		June 30,
(In thousands)	2022		2022
Secured line of credit	$	42,310	$	57,275
Term loan, net of debt issuance costs of $26 and $30, respectively		20,511		22,321
Total debt		62,821		79,596

In September 2021, the Company amended its existing $100 million secured line of credit, to a $25 million term loan and $75 million remaining as a secured revolving line of credit. Both facilities expire in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The principal of the term loan is repaid annually in the amount of $3.6 million over a five-year period with a balloon payment of the remaining balance due on the last month. Interest on both the revolving line of credit and the term loan is charged based upon an increment over the LIBOR rate or a base rate, at the Company’s option. The base rate is calculated as the highest of (a) the Prime rate, (b) the sum of the Overnight Funding Rate plus 50 basis points and (c) the sum of the Daily LIBOR Rate plus 100 basis points as long as a Daily LIBOR rate is offered, ascertainable and not unlawful. The increment over the LIBOR borrowing rate fluctuates between 100 and 225 basis points, and the increment over the Base Rate fluctuates between 0 and 125 basis points, both of which depend upon the ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the line of credit agreement. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s borrowing rate against its revolving line of credit was 6.1%. The increment over LIBOR borrowing rate will be 125 basis points for the third quarter of fiscal 2023.  As a result of a reduction of the Company’s leverage ratio, the increment over LIBOR was lowered 25 basis points for each of the previous two consecutive quarters. The fee on the unused balance of the $75 million committed line of credit fluctuates between 15 and 25 basis points. Under the terms of this line of credit, the Company has agreed to a negative pledge of real estate assets and is required to comply with financial covenants that limit the ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA and require a minimum fixed charge ratio. As of December 31, 2022, there was $32.7 million available for borrowing under the $75 million line of credit.

The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants as of December 31, 2022.
