Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Borrowings | Borrowings Short-Term Debt At December 27, 2019, short-term debt consisted of a bilateral term loan facility and uncommitted credit arrangements with several banks providing short-term borrowing capacity and overdraft protection with an aggregate principal balance of $200.0 million. Offset from the bilateral term loan are deferred financing fees of $0.1 million. The $200.0 million bilateral term loan facility incurs interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1% and matures in June 2020. Amounts outstanding under the bilateral term loan facility may be prepaid at the option of the Company without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage fees in connection with the prepayment of eurocurrency loans. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the bilateral term loan facility at December 27, 2019. Long-Term Debt At December 27, 2019 and September 27, 2019, long-term debt consisted of the following (principal amounts in thousands):

(1) Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility (defined below)), borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either a eurocurrency rate plus a margin of between 0.875% and 1.5% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0% and 0.5%. The applicable LIBOR rates at December 27, 2019 and September 27, 2019 were approximatel y 1.59% and 1.00%. (2) Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Term Loan Facility (defined below)), borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at either a eurocurrency rate plus a margin of between 1.0% and 1.5% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0% and 0.5%. The applicable LIBOR rate at September 27, 2019 was approxima tely 3.05%. On February 7, 2014, Jacobs and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $1.6 billion long-term unsecured, revolving credit facility (as amended, the “2014 Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of U.S. and international banks and financial institutions. On March 27, 2019, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility") which amended and restated the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility by, among other things, (a) extending the maturity date of the credit facility to March 27, 2024, (b) increasing the facility amount to $2.25 billion (with an accordion feature that allows a further increase of the facility amount up to $3.25 billion), (c) eliminating the covenants restricting investments, joint ventures and acquisitions by the Company and its subsidiaries and (d) adjusting the financial covenants to eliminate the net worth covenant upon the removal of the same covenant from the Company’s existing Note Purchase Agreement (defined below). We were in compliance with the covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 27, 2019. The Revolving Credit Facility permits the Company to borrow under two separate tranches in U.S. dollars, certain specified foreign currencies, and any other currency that may be approved in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a financial letter of credit sub facility of $400.0 million, permits performance letters of credit, and provides for a $50.0 million sub facility for swing line loans. Letters of credit are subject to fees based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The Company pays a facility fee of between 0.08% and 0.20% per annum depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. On September 28, 2017, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (as amended, the “Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders and letter of credit issuers. We incurred loans under the Term Loan Facility on December 15, 2017 in connection with the closing of the CH2M acquisition in order to pay cash consideration for the acquisition, and to pay fees and expenses related to the acquisition and the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility was repaid in full as of December 27, 2019. On March 12, 2018, Jacobs entered into a note purchase agreement (as amended, the "Note Purchase Agreement") with respect to the issuance and sale in a private placement transaction of $500.0 million in the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior notes in three series (collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The Note Purchase Agreement provides that if the Company's consolidated leverage ratio exceeds a certain amount, the interest on the Senior Notes may increase by 75 basis points. The Senior Notes may be prepaid at any time subject to a make-whole premium. The sale of the Senior Notes closed on May 15, 2018. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering of Senior Notes to repay certain existing indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes. The Note Purchase Agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, covenants to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth and maximum consolidated leverage ratio and limitations on certain other liens, mergers, dispositions and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default. We were in compliance with the covenants under the Note Purchase Agreement at December 27, 2019. We believe the carrying value of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Facility, the Bilateral Term Loan, and Other debt outstanding approximates fair value based on the interest rates and scheduled maturities applicable to the outstanding borrowings. The fair value of the Senior Notes is estimated to be $529.8 million at December 27, 2019, based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value is determined by discounting future cash flows using interest rates available for issuances with sim ilar terms and average maturities. The Company has issued $2.3 million in letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $1.33 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 27, 2019. In addition, the Company had issued $269.6 million under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities for total issued letters of credit of $271.8 million a t December 27, 2019.
