Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Debt and Credit Arrangements | Debt and Credit Arrangements Convertible Notes The outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Convertible Notes”) is $250,000. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, and will mature on August 1, 2018. The effective interest rate at issuance was 7.9%. The Convertible Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Convertible Notes are senior in right of payment to the Company’s future subordinated debt, equal in right of payment with the Company’s future senior subordinated debt and are subordinated in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Company’s existing credit agreement. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedge and capped call transactions with affiliates of certain of the underwriters (the “Option Counterparties”). The convertible note hedge and capped call transactions relate to, collectively, 3,622 shares, which represents the number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Convertible Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Convertible Notes. These convertible note hedge and capped call transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to the Company’s common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or reduce the Company’s exposure to potential cash or stock payments that may be required upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, except, in the case of the capped call transactions, to the extent that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions. The Company also entered into separate warrant transactions with the Option Counterparties initially relating to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the convertible note hedge transactions, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to the Company’s common stock to the extent that the price per share of the Company common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants unless the Company elects, subject to certain conditions, to settle the warrants in cash. These warrants were exercisable as of the issuance date of the Convertible Notes. The cap price of the capped call transactions and the strike price of the warrant transactions was initially $84.96 per share. Proceeds received from the issuance of the warrants totaled approximately $48,848 and were recorded as an addition to additional paid-in-capital. The net cost of the convertible note hedge and capped call transactions, taking into account the proceeds from the issuance of the warrants, was approximately $17,638. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, contracts are initially classified as equity if (1) the contract requires physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (2) the contract gives the entity a choice of net-cash settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company concluded that the settlement terms of the convertible note hedge, capped call and warrant transactions permit net-share settlement. As such, the convertible note hedge, capped call and warrant transactions were recorded in equity. Upon issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company bifurcated the $250,000 principal balance of the Convertible Notes into a liability component of $170,885, which was recorded as long-term debt, and an equity component of $79,115, which was initially recorded as additional paid-in-capital. The liability component was recognized at the present value of its associated cash flows using a 7.9% straight-debt rate which represented the Company’s interest rate for similar debt instruments at that time without a conversion feature and is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amount of the liability component was $201,354 and $193,437, respectively, and the unamortized debt discount of the Convertible Notes was $48,646 and $56,563, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, interest expense for the Convertible Notes was $3,941 and $3,737, respectively, which included $2,691 and $2,487 of non-cash interest accretion expense related to the carrying amount of the Convertible Notes, respectively, and $1,250 of 2.0% cash interest for both periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, interest expense for the Convertible Notes was $11,667 and $11,067, respectively, which included $7,917 and $7,317 of non-cash interest accretion expense related to the carrying amount of the Convertible Notes, respectively, and $3,750 of 2.0% cash interest for both periods. In accordance with ASC 470-20, which requires issuers to separately account for the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, the Company allocated debt issuance costs to the liability and equity components in proportion to their allocated value. Debt issuance costs were $7,277, with $2,303 recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in-capital. The remaining balance of $4,974 is being amortized over the term of the Convertible Notes. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, total expense associated with the amortization of these debt issuance costs was $178 for both periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, total expense associated with the amortization of these debt issuance costs was $533 for both periods. Prior to May 1, 2018, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders thereof only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after September 30, 2011 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price (currently $69.03) for the Convertible Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which, as determined following a request by a holder of Convertible Notes as provided in the bond indenture (the “Indenture”), the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each trading day of such Measurement Period was less than 97% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate for the Convertible Notes on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. On or after May 1, 2018, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted. It is the Company’s intention to settle any excess conversion value in shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate on the Convertible Notes will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that converts its Convertible Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change. The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to maturity. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change, subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to purchase the Convertible Notes in whole or in part for cash at a fundamental change purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, if the average market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the applicable conversion price during the periods reported, as was the case during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, shares contingently issuable under the Convertible Notes will have a dilutive effect with respect to the Company’s common stock. The Company reassesses the convertibility of the Convertible Notes and the related balance sheet classification on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2013, the notes were convertible, thus, the liability component of the Convertible Notes was classified as a current liability, and the equity component was classified as temporary equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2014, the notes are not convertible, thus, the liability component of the Convertible Notes was classified as long-term debt, and the $48,646 equity component was classified as permanent equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At October 1, 2014, the Convertible Notes were not convertible. There have been no conversions as of the date of this filing. Senior Credit Facility and Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility At September 30, 2014, the Company had a five-year $375,000 senior secured credit facility (“Senior Credit Facility”), which originally consisted of a $75,000 term loan (“Term Loan”) and a $300,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”). The Senior Credit Facility had a maturity date of April 25, 2017. The Revolving Credit Facility included a $25,000 sub-limit for the issuance of swingline loans and a $100,000 sub-limit to be used for letters of credit. There was a foreign currency limit of $50,000 under the Revolving Credit Facility which could be used for foreign currency denominated letters of credit and borrowings in a foreign currency, in each case in currencies agreed upon with the lenders. In addition, the facility permitted borrowings up to $50,000 under the Revolving Credit Facility made by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Chart Industries Luxembourg S.à r.l. The Senior Credit Facility also included an expansion option permitting the Company to add up to an aggregate of $150,000 in term loans or revolving credit commitments from its existing and potential new lenders. The Company recorded $1,445 in deferred financing costs related to the Senior Credit Facility which are being amortized over the five-year term of the loan. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, financing costs amortization associated with the Senior Credit Facility was $148 for both periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, financing costs amortization associated with the Senior Credit Facility was $446 for both periods. Loans under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at the applicable Borrower’s election, at either LIBOR or the greatest of (a) the JPMorgan prime rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% or (c) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) for a one month interest period on such day (or if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) plus 1% (the “Adjusted Base Rate”), plus a margin that varies with the Company’s leverage ratio. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.25% and 0.40% of the unused Revolver balance and a letter of credit participation fee equal to the daily aggregate letter of credit exposure at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Facility Borrowings (ranging from 1.5% to 3.0%, depending on the leverage ratio calculated at each fiscal quarter end). A fronting fee must be paid on each letter of credit that is issued equal to 0.125% per annum of the stated dollar amount of the letter of credit. Under the terms of the Senior Credit Facility, 5% of the original $75,000 Term Loan is payable annually in quarterly installments over the first three years, 10% is payable annually in quarterly installments over the final two years, and the remaining balance is due on April 25, 2017. At September 30, 2014, there was $65,625 outstanding under the Term Loan and $31,816 in letters of credit issued. At September 30, 2014, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $268,184. The obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of its U.S. subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of the Company’s material non-U.S. subsidiaries (as defined by the Senior Credit Facility) that are owned by U.S. subsidiaries. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on October 29, 2014, the Company amended and extended its five-year $375,000 Senior Credit Facility with a five-year $450,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “SSRCF”) which matures on October 29, 2019. The SSRCF includes a $25,000 sub-limit for the issuance of swingline loans and a $100,000 sub-limit to be used for letters of credit. There is a foreign currency limit of $100,000 under the SSRCF which can be used for foreign currency denominated letters of credit and borrowings in a foreign currency, in each case in currencies agreed upon with the lenders. In addition, the facility permits borrowings up to $100,000 made by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chart Industries Luxembourg S.à r.l. (“Chart Luxembourg”) and Chart Asia Investment Company Limited (“Chart Asia”). The SSRCF also includes an expansion option permitting the Company to add up to an aggregate $200,000 in term loans or revolving credit commitments from its lenders. Loans under the SSRCF bear interest at LIBOR or the Adjusted Base Rate, plus a margin, which was reduced compared to the prior Senior Credit Facility, that varies with the Company's leverage ratio. Significant financial covenants for the SSRCF include a minimum liquidity requirement equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding six months prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes and when holders of the Convertible Notes have the option to require the Company to repurchase the Convertible Notes, a maximum leverage ratio of 3.25 and a minimum interest coverage to EBITDA ratio of 3.0. The required leverage ratio can be relaxed on up to two occassions, upon notification to the lenders, to 3.75 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters, for acquisitions and plant expansions of $100,000 or greater. The Senior Credit Facility and SSRCF contain a number of customary covenants, including but not limited to restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens or other encumbrances, sell assets, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, make certain payments, investments, loans, advances or guarantees, make acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations and pay dividends or distributions. At September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. Foreign Facilities – China Chart Cryogenic Engineering Systems (Changzhou) Company Limited (“CCESC”) and Chart Energy & Chemicals Wuxi Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and Chart Cryogenic Distribution Equipment (Changzhou) Company Limited (“CCDEC”), a joint venture of the Company, maintain joint banking facilities (the “China Facilities”) which include a revolving line with 50.0 million Chinese yuan (equivalent to $8,147) in borrowing capacity, a bonding/guarantee facility with up to 30.0 million Chinese yuan (equivalent to $4,888) in borrowing capacity, and an overdraft facility with 10.0 million Chinese yuan (equivalent to $1,630) in borrowing capacity.

Under both facilities, Ferox must pay letter of credit and guarantee fees equal to 0.70% per annum on the face amount of each guarantee or letter of credit. Ferox’s land, buildings and accounts receivable secure the credit facilities.

Fair Value Disclosures The fair value of the term loan portion of the Company’s Senior Credit Facility was estimated based on the present value of the underlying cash flows discounted using market interest rates. Under this method, the fair value of the Company’s Term Loan approximated its carrying amount as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The fair value of the Company’s Term Loan was determined using Level 2 inputs as defined in Note 8. The fair value of the Convertible Notes was approximately 117% of their par value as of September 30, 2014 and approximately 154% of their par value as of December 31, 2013. The Convertible Notes are actively quoted instruments and, accordingly, the fair value of the Convertible Notes was determined using Level 1 inputs as defined in Note 8.
