Note 6 - Revolving Credit Facility and Long-Term Debt

In March 2022, the Company entered into an amended credit agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), which supersedes the previous agreement. The Amended Agreement increased the revolving credit line from $33.0 million to $50.0 million and maintained the sublimit for standby letters of credit at $8.0 million. Advances under the credit line bear interest, as selected by the Company, of (a) the daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.75% or (b) the one-month Term SOFR plus 1.75%. The Amended Agreement also provides for an unused commitment fee of 0.30% per year on the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit line.  

The Amended Agreement replaced the financial covenants in the Agreement (as defined below) with the following financial covenants:  

 

•

adjusted free cash flow [net profit after taxes plus interest expense (net of capitalized interest), depreciation, expense and amortization expense, less dividends/distributions] not less than $10 million as of each fiscal quarter end, determined on a rolling 4-quarter basis.  

 

•

tangible net worth [aggregate of total stockholders' equity plus subordinated debt less any intangible assets and less any loans or advances to, or investments in, any related entities or individuals] not less than $100 million at each fiscal quarter end. 

Other than as described above, the Agreement (as defined below) previously in place during 2021 is substantially unchanged. 

At December 31, 2021, the Company maintained an agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Bank for a revolving credit line of $33.0 million and a sublimit for standby letters of credit of $8.0 million. At December 31, 2021, $6.2 million of the sublimit for standby letters of credit was used.  Advances under the revolving credit line bear interest, as selected by the Company, of (a) the daily floating rate of one-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.75% or (b) the fixed rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%. The Agreement also provided for an unused commitment fee of 0.375% per year on the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit line, as well as a fee of 1.75% of the face amount of each letter of credit reserved under the line of credit. The Company had no outstanding borrowings on its revolving credit line at December 31, 2021 and 2020. The credit facility was collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable and other rights to receive payment.

The Agreement also provided a $63.7 million standby letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”). In April 2021, the Company and the insurance carrier reached an agreement to replace the Letter of Credit with other collateral assets and cancel the Letter of Credit in its entirety. As part of the transaction, the Bank released the $38.7 million of collateral held in support of the Letter of Credit and the Company transferred the $38.7 million along with an additional $25.0 million to the trust accounts to satisfy the collateral requirements of the insured program.  

The Agreement required the satisfaction of certain financial covenants as follows:

 

•

EBITDA [net income before taxes plus interest expense (net of capitalized interest expense), depreciation expense, and amortization expense] on a rolling four-quarter basis must be not less than $30 million at the end of each fiscal quarter; and

 

•

the ratio of restricted and unrestricted cash and investments to workers’ compensation and safety incentive liabilities must be at least 1.0:1.0, measured quarterly.

The Agreement imposed certain additional restrictions unless the Bank provides its prior written consent as follows:

 

•

incurring additional indebtedness is prohibited, other than purchase financing for the acquisition of assets, provided that the aggregate of all purchase financing does not exceed $1 million at any time;

 

•

the Company may not terminate or cancel any of the AICE policies; and

 

•

if an event of default would occur, and is continuing, including on a pro forma basis, no dividends or distributions would be permitted to be paid and redemptions and repurchases of the Company’s stock would be permitted only up to $15 million in any rolling 12-month period.

The Agreement also contained customary events of default and specified cross-defaults under the Company's workers' compensation insurance arrangements. If an event of default under the Agreement occurs and is continuing, the Bank may declare any outstanding obligations under the Agreement to be immediately due and payable. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

The Company maintained a mortgage loan with the Bank with a balance of approximately $3.5 million and $3.7 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, secured by the Company’s corporate office building in Vancouver, Washington. This loan required payment of monthly installments of $18,375, bearing interest at the one-month LIBOR plus 2.0%, with the unpaid principal balance due July 1, 2022. On January 31, 2022, the Company paid the outstanding balance of the mortgage loan.
