Debt
On June 18, 2015, we entered into a secured five year credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”). The Second Amended Credit Agreement provided (1) a $55.0 million term loan; (2) up to $295.0 million of revolving loans, with sublimits for multicurrency borrowings, letters of credit and swing-line notes; and (3) a $50.0 million expansion feature. Borrowings could be used to finance working capital needs, for letters of credit and for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business, including the financing of permitted acquisitions (as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement).
The Second Amended Credit Agreement required mandatory quarterly repayment of principal on amounts borrowed under the term loan, and payment in full of outstanding borrowings by June 30, 2020.
On February 17, 2017, we entered into a secured five year credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Third Amended Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the Second Amended Credit Agreement. The Third Amended Credit Agreement refinances the Second Amended Credit Agreement, eliminates the term loan under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, increases the principal amount of the revolving credit facility to up to $450.0 million borrowing capacity, with sublimits for multicurrency borrowings, letters of credit and swing-line notes, and provides an additional $175.0 million accordion feature. Borrowings may be used to finance working capital needs, for letters of credit and for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business, including the financing of permitted acquisitions (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement).
Borrowings under the Third Amended Credit Agreement can be made as alternate base rate loans or euro-currency loans. Alternate base rate loans bear interest that includes a base reference rate plus a spread of 37.5 to 75.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. The base reference rate is the greater of the prime rate; federal funds effective rate (or the overnight bank funding rate, if greater) plus 50 basis points; or adjusted 1-month LIBOR plus 100 basis points. Euro-currency loans bear interest based on adjusted LIBOR plus a spread of 137.5 to 175.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio.
In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding from time to time under the Third Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay a quarterly fee of 20 to 30 basis points (based upon our leverage ratio) of the unused amount of the lenders’ commitments under the Third Amended Credit Agreement.
The Third Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, mandatory prepayments and events of default under which the Company’s payment obligations may be accelerated. If an event of default occurs, the lenders may, among other things, terminate their commitments and declare all outstanding borrowings to be immediately due and payable together with accrued interest and fees. The financial covenants include requirements to maintain (1) a leverage ratio of no more than 3.25 to 1.00, subject to an election to increase the maximum leverage ratio to 3.50 to 1.00 for one fiscal year in connection with a permitted acquisition, and (2) an interest coverage ratio of no less than 3.00 to 1.00.
All obligations under the Third Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing and future material domestic subsidiaries, as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement (the “Guarantors”). The obligations are also secured by a Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2017, entered into by the Company and the Guarantors which grants to the administrative agent, for the benefit of the lenders, a security interest, subject to certain exceptions, in substantially all of the non-real estate assets of the Guarantors. These assets include, but are not limited to, receivables, equipment, intellectual property, inventory, and stock in certain subsidiaries.
All revolving loans are due on the maturity date, February 17, 2022 and as of March 31, 2017, we have $241.2 million in outstanding borrowings under our credit facility. We are not required to make any quarterly principal payments under the Third Amended Credit Agreement.
At March 31, 2017, we have $2.7 million of outstanding deferred debt issuance costs consisting of $1.6 million related to the term loans under the Second Amended Credit Agreement and $1.1 million related to the Third Amended Credit Agreement. These costs will be amortized over the life of the Third Amended Credit Agreement, which will terminate in February 2022. We incurred amortization expense of $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 related to these deferred costs.
In March 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the variable interest rate on $75.0 million of our $450.0 million revolving credit facility. In July 2012, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the variable interest rate on our previously outstanding term loan debt. This swap expired as of June 30, 2016.
Restriction on Payment of Dividends
Our Third Amended Credit Agreement generally permits us to pay cash dividends to our shareholders, provided that (i) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the dividend payment and (ii) our leverage ratio does not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. If our leverage ratio exceeds 2.75 to 1.00, we may nonetheless make up to $20 million in restricted payments, including cash dividends, during the fiscal year, provided that no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the payments. Our leverage ratio did not exceed 2.75 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2017.
Capital Lease
We have a capital lease obligation related to our manufacturing facility in Eschenbach, Germany. Under the terms of the leasing agreement, we have an option to purchase the property upon the expiration of the lease in 2021 at a price which is the greater of (i) the then-current market value or (ii) the residual book value of the land including the buildings and installations thereon. The total obligation recorded for the lease as of March 31, 2017 is $5.3 million. Depreciation expense related to the capital lease was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Accumulated depreciation at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $3.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively. These expenses are included as depreciation expense in cost of sales on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We also incurred interest expense on the capital lease of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Interest expense related to the debt recorded on the capital lease is included in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
