8.Banking Facilities and Debt

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s credit agreement included a ten-year $40 million term loan (the “Term Loan”), a ten-year $20 million multiple draw term loan (the “Draw Term Loan”) and a $30 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”).  At March 31, 2015, the Company had $0.7 million of letters of credit issued, which counted as draws under the Revolving Facility.  Pursuant to a security agreement, dated August 25, 2004, the Credit Facilities are secured by the Company’s existing and hereafter acquired tangible assets, intangible assets and real property.

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Term Loan required quarterly principal payments of $0.8 million, with a final principal payment of $7.5 million due on December 31, 2015.  The Draw Term Loan required quarterly principal payments of $0.4 million, with a final principal payment of $5.4 million due on December 31, 2015.  The maturity of the Term Loan, the Draw Term Loan and the Revolving Facility could have been accelerated if any event of default, as defined under the Credit Facilities, had occured.

 

The Revolving Facility commitment fee ranged from 0.250% to 0.400%.  The Credit Facilities bore interest, at the Company’s option, at either LIBOR plus a margin of 1.750% to 2.750%, or the Lender’s Prime Rate plus a margin of 0.000% to plus 1.000%.  The Revolving Facility commitment fee and the interest rate margins were determined quarterly in accordance with a pricing grid based upon the Company’s Cash Flow Leverage Ratio, defined as the ratio of the Company’s total funded senior indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the 12 months ended on the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, plus pro forma EBITDA from any businesses acquired during the period.

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had hedges, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A as the counterparty to the hedges, that fixed LIBOR through maturity at 4.695%, 4.875% and 5.500% on the outstanding balance of the Term Loan, 75% of the outstanding balance of the Draw Term Loan and 25% of the outstanding balance of the Draw Term Loan, respectively.  Based on the then-current LIBOR margin of 1.750%, the Company’s current interest rates were: 6.445% on the outstanding balance of the Term Loan; 6.625% on 75% of the outstanding balance of the Draw Term Loan; and 7.250% on 25% of the outstanding balance of the Draw Term Loan.

 

The hedges were effective as defined under applicable accounting rules.  Therefore, changes in fair value of the interest rate hedges are reflected in comprehensive income (loss).  The Company was exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the hedges.   The Company’s mark to market of its interest rate hedges, at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, resulted in liabilities of $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which are included in accrued expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The Company paid $0.2 million in each of the first quarters 2015 and 2014 in quarterly settlement payments pursuant to the hedges.  These payments are included in interest expense on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
