Revolving Credit Facility

In December 2018, we amended our Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The amended credit agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility with a line of credit of up to $250 million (with an additional $50 million accordion feature) and extends the maturity date to December 2023. The line of credit under the amended credit agreement also allows for a $10 million line of credit to Canada as part of the $250 million available for borrowing. Direct borrowings under the amended credit agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% based on our borrowing availability, or floating at the alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% based on our borrowing availability, at our option. The amended credit agreement is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and secured by certain of our assets.

Borrowings under the amended credit agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets, including accounts receivable, inventory and certain fixed assets, and those of certain of our subsidiaries. Availability under the amended credit agreement is based on a formula of eligible accounts receivable, eligible drafts presented to the banks under our factoring agreements, eligible inventory, eligible equipment and eligible fixed assets. After taking into account outstanding borrowings under the amended credit agreement, there was an additional $116.8 million available for us to borrow pursuant to the formula at June 30, 2019. Outstanding borrowings under the amended credit agreement, which are classified as current liabilities, were $130 million and $43.7 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Borrowings under the amended credit agreement have been classified as current liabilities based upon the accounting rules and certain provisions in the agreement.

At June 30, 2019, the weighted average interest rate on our amended credit agreement was 3.7%, which consisted of $130 million in direct borrowings. At December 31, 2018, the weighted average interest rate on our amended credit agreement was 3.9%, which consisted of $40 million in direct borrowings at 3.4% and an alternative base rate loan of $3.7 million at 5.8%. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our average daily alternative base rate loan balance was $1.6 million, compared to a balance of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and a balance of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

At any time that our borrowing availability is less than the greater of either (a) $25 million, or 10% of the commitments if fixed assets are not included in the borrowing base, or (b) $31.25 million, or 12.5% of the commitments if fixed assets are included in the borrowing base, the terms of the amended credit agreement provide for, among other provisions, a financial covenant requiring us, on a consolidated basis, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1:1 at the end of each fiscal quarter (rolling four quarters). As of June 30, 2019, we were not subject to these covenants. The amended credit agreement permits us to pay cash dividends of $20 million and make stock repurchases of $20 million in any fiscal year subject to a minimum availability of $25 million. Provided specific conditions are met, the amended credit agreement also permits acquisitions, permissible debt financing, capital expenditures, and cash dividend payments and stock repurchases of greater than $20 million.

Polish Overdraft Facility

Our Polish subsidiary, SMP Poland sp. z.o.o., has entered into an overdraft facility with HSBC Bank Polska S.A. (“HSBC Poland”) for Zloty 30 million (approximately $8 million). The facility, as amended, expires in December 2019. Borrowings under the overdraft facility will bear interest at a rate equal to WIBOR + 0.75% and are guaranteed by Standard Motor Products, Inc., the ultimate parent company. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, borrowings under the overdraft facility were Zloty 18.8 million (approximately $5 million) and Zloty 19.9 million (approximately $5.3 million), respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs

We had deferred financing costs of $1 million and $1.1 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Deferred financing costs are related to our revolving credit facility. Deferred financing costs as of June 30, 2019 are being amortized in the amounts of $0.2 million for the remainder of 2019, $0.2 million in 2020, $0.2 million in 2021, $0.2 million in 2022 and $0.2 million in 2023.
