NOTE 6. LONG-TERM DEBT

On September 3, 2020, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and certain banks (the “Fourth Amended Credit Facility”). The Fourth Amended Credit Facility amends and restates the Company’s $250.0 million credit facility, dated as of July 20, 2016 (the “Prior Credit Facility”).

The Fourth Amended Credit Facility extends the maturity date of the Amended Credit Facility from July 20, 2021 to September 3, 2023. In addition, the Fourth Amended Credit Facility increases the aggregate principal amount of the credit facilities to $270.0 million. The $270.0 million Fourth Amended Credit Facility consists of: $200.0 million term loan (“Term Loan Facility”) and $70.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”).

The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments under the Term Loan Facility on each Term Loan Installment Date, commencing on December 31, 2020, in an amount equal to (x) the percentage set forth opposite the applicable period during which such Term Loan Installment Date occurs (i.e., 1.25% for the period from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021, and 2.50% for the period from December 31, 2021 and thereafter) multiplied by (y) $200.0 million. The estimated amount of the mandatory principal payments due in the next twelve months is $12.5 million.

Commencing with the delivery of the compliance certificate for fiscal year 2021, the Company may be required to prepay borrowings under the Fourth Amended Credit Facility using excess cash flows for each fiscal year, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an outstanding principal balance of $182.5 million under the Term Loan Facility and $0.6 million letter of credit. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, therefore all $70.0 million remained available for borrowing.

Borrowings are secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s real and personal property.

In addition to other customary covenants for a facility of this nature, as of December 31, 2020, the Company is required to maintain a Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Fourth Amended Credit Facility) of no more than 4.75:1 and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Fourth Amended Credit Facility) of at least 1.15:1. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio were 2.6:1 and 5.6:1.

The interest rate under the Amended Credit Facility is LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 3.25%, or a base rate (as defined in the Fourth Amended Credit Facility) plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 2.25%, or the Prime Rate. The applicable margins vary depending on Company’s leverage ratio. There is a LIBOR floor of 0.50%. Commitment fees are equal to the daily average unused revolving commitment multiplied by the commitment fee percentage, ranging from 0.35% to 0.575%, based on our leverage ratio.

At December 31, 2020, our interest rate was based on LIBOR and our leverage ratio was such that pricing for borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility was LIBOR plus 2.25%. At December 31, 2020, the Term loan interest rate was 2.75%, computed as LIBOR floor of 0.50% plus interest margin of 2.25%. The carrying value of the debt outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility approximates fair value because the interest fluctuates with the lender’s prime rate or other market rates of interest.

On the terms and subject to some conditions, the Company may, at any time before the Maturity Date, request an increase of Revolving Credit Facility, provided that each such increase is equal to $15.0 million or an integral multiple of $1.0 million in excess and, after giving effect to the requested increase, the aggregate amount of the increases in the total revolving loan commitment shall not exceed $75.0 million.

The Company may prepay borrowings under the Fourth Amended Credit Facility revolving loan without penalty (subject to certain conditions and certain charges applicable to the prepayment of LIBOR borrowings prior to the end of the applicable interest period). Once reduced or cancelled, the Revolving Credit Facility may not be increased or reinstated without the prior written consent of all lenders.

As of December 31, 2020, $167.2 million “Long-term debt, net” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets represents the $182.5 million outstanding loan amount under the Amended Credit facility, net of $2.8 million unamortized debt issuance costs and $12.5 million mandatory principal payment that are due in next twelve months and are presented as “Current portion of long-term debt” in the Current liabilities section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company believes that the $2.0 million cash in its interest-bearing money market fund, the $70.0 million available under its Fourth Amended Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020 and the expected cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to support its current operations, meet its debt obligations and fulfill its capital expenditure plans for the twelve months from filing of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020; however, the Company is surrounded by uncertainty about COVID-19 and the reopening of its operations, as well as financial, economic, competitive, regulatory, and other factors, many of which are beyond its control. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow in the upcoming months or if its cash needs exceed the Company’s borrowing capacity under the Fourth Amended Credit Facility, it could be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing, delaying or eliminating planned capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring debt or issuing additional equity.
