7. DEBT

The Company primarily finances its operations through three credit facility agreements (the “AMCON Facility”, the “Team Sledd Facility” and the “Henry’s Facility”, and together, the “Facilities”) and long-term debt agreements with banks. In Q3 2023, the Company amended the Team Sledd Facility, increasing its aggregate borrowing capacity from $70.0 million to $80.0 million, extending the maturity date to March 2028, and adding certain real estate property as eligible borrowing collateral under the agreement.

At June 2023, the Facilities had a total combined borrowing capacity of $300.0 million, including provisions for up to $30.0 million in credit advances for certain inventory purchases, which are limited by accounts receivable and inventory qualifications, and the value of certain real estate collateral. The Henry’s Facility matures in February 2026, the AMCON Facility matures in June 2027 and the Team Sledd Facility matures in March 2028, each without a penalty for prepayment. Obligations under the Facilities are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s respective equipment, intangibles, inventories, accounts receivable, and certain real estate. The Facilities each feature an unused commitment fee and springing financial covenants. Borrowings under the Facilities bear interest at either the bank’s prime rate or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus any applicable spreads.

The amount available for use from the Facilities at any given time is subject to a number of factors, including eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances that fluctuate day-to-day, as well as the value of certain real estate collateral. Based on the collateral and loan limits as defined in the Facility agreements, the credit limit of the combined Facilities at June 2023 was $249.9 million, of which $143.4 million was outstanding, leaving $106.5 million available.

The average interest rate of the Facilities was 6.75% at June 2023. For the nine months ended June 2023, the peak borrowings under the Facilities was $159.7 million, and the average borrowings and average availability under the Facilities was $124.3 million and $83.8 million, respectively.
