Credit Agreement
The Company is a party to a credit agreement consisting of a $575.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which matures in October 2018 and is subject to interest at London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") plus 1.50%, and a $175.0 million senior secured term loan A facility, which matures in October 2018 and is subject to interest at LIBOR plus 1.50% (collectively, the "Credit Agreement"). The interest rate spread is based upon the leverage ratio, as defined, as of the most recent determination date. Per the Credit Agreement, the senior secured revolving credit facility permits borrowings denominated in specific foreign currency ("Foreign Currency Loans"), subject to a $75.0 million sub limit.
The Credit Agreement also provides incremental term loan and/or revolving credit facility commitments in an amount not to exceed the greater of $300.0 million and an amount such that, after giving effect to such incremental commitments and the incurrence of any other indebtedness substantially simultaneously with the making of such commitments, the senior secured net leverage ratio, as defined, is no greater than 2.50 to 1.00. The terms and conditions of any incremental term loan and/or revolving credit facility commitments must be no more favorable than the existing credit facility.
Beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 (payable in 2015), the Company may be required to prepay a portion of its term loan A facility in an amount equal to a percentage of the Company's excess cash flow, as defined, with such percentage based on the Company's leverage ratio, as defined.
The Company is also able to issue letters of credit, not to exceed $75.0 million in aggregate, against its revolving credit facility commitments. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had letters of credit of approximately $24.2 million and $24.1 million, respectively, issued and outstanding.
At March 31, 2014, the Company had $155.7 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $395.1 million potentially available after giving effect to approximately $24.2 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2013, the Company had $71.1 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $479.8 million, potentially available after giving effect to approximately $24.1 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding. However, including availability under its accounts receivable facility and after consideration of leverage restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement, the Company had $320.6 million and $360.3 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, of borrowing capacity available for general corporate purposes.
The debt under the Credit Agreement is an obligation of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the assets of such parties. Borrowings under the $75.0 million foreign currency sub limit of the $575.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility are secured by a pledge of the assets of the foreign subsidiary borrowers that are a party to the agreement.  The Credit Agreement also contains various negative and affirmative covenants and other requirements affecting the Company and its subsidiaries, including restrictions on incurrence of debt, liens, mergers, investments, loans, advances, guarantee obligations, acquisitions, assets dispositions, sale-leaseback transactions, hedging agreements, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, restrictive agreements and amendments to charters, bylaws, and other material documents. The terms of the Credit Agreement also require the Company and its subsidiaries to meet certain restrictive financial covenants and ratios computed quarterly, including a maximum leverage ratio (total consolidated indebtedness plus outstanding amounts under the accounts receivable securitization facility over consolidated EBITDA, as defined) and a minimum interest expense coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA, as defined, over cash interest expense, as defined). At March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with its financial and other covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company's Credit Agreement traded at approximately 99.5% and 99.8% of par value, respectively. The valuations of the term loan was determined based on Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, as defined.
Receivables Facility
The Company is a party to an accounts receivable facility through TSPC, Inc. ("TSPC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, to sell trade accounts receivable of substantially all of the Company's domestic business operations. Under this facility, TSPC, from time to time, may sell an undivided fractional ownership interest in the pool of receivables up to approximately $105.0 million to a third party multi-seller receivables funding company. The net amount financed under the facility is less than the face amount of accounts receivable by an amount that approximates the purchaser's financing costs. The cost of funds under this facility consisted of a 3-month LIBOR-based rate plus a usage fee of 1.35% for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and a fee on the unused portion of the facility of 0.40% for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
The Company had $63.7 million and $57.0 million outstanding under the facility as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and $16.6 million and $20.2 million, respectively, available but not utilized. Aggregate costs incurred under the facility were $0.3 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. The facility expires on October 12, 2017.
The cost of funds fees incurred are determined by calculating the estimated present value of the receivables sold compared to their carrying amount. The estimated present value factor is based on historical collection experience and a discount rate based on a 3-month LIBOR-based rate plus the usage fee discussed above and is computed in accordance with the terms of the securitization agreement. As of March 31, 2014, the cost of funds under the facility was based on an average liquidation period of the portfolio of approximately 1.7 months and an average discount rate of 1.8%.
Other Bank Debt
The Company's Australian subsidiary is party to a debt agreement which matures on April 30, 2014 and is secured by substantially all the assets of the subsidiary. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance outstanding under this agreement was approximately $4.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, at an average interest rate of 4.6% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
