Term Loans:  In May 2005, the Company partially financed the delivery of the MV Manulani by issuing $105.0 million of Series B Notes with a coupon of 4.79 percent and 15-year final maturity.  The notes amortize by semi-annual principal payments of $3.5 million plus interest.  The Company negotiated the release of the MV Manulani as security for the remaining long-term debt of $56.0 million as part of the Company’s debt restructuring completed during the Separation, resulting in an increase in the interest rate to 5.79 percent.

 

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company issued new unsecured, fixed rate, amortizing long-term debt of $170.0 million, which was funded in three tranches, $77.5 million at an interest rate of 3.66 percent maturing in 2023, $55.0 million at an interest rate of 4.16 percent maturing in 2027, and $37.5 million at an interest rate of 4.31 percent maturing in 2032.  Interest is payable semi-annually.  The weighted average coupon and average life of the three tranches of debt is 3.97 percent and 9.2 years, respectively.  The notes will begin to amortize in 2015, with aggregate semi-annual payments of $4.6 million through 2016, $8.4 million in 2017 through mid-year 2023, $3.8 million through mid-year 2027, and $1.2 million thereafter.

 

In January 2014, the Company issued $100 million of 30-year senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”).  The Notes have a weighted average life of 14.5 years and bear interest at a rate of 4.35 percent, payable semi-annually.  The proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.  The Notes will begin to amortize in 2021, with annual principal payments of $5.0 million in 2021, $7.5 million in 2022 and 2023, $10.0 million from 2024 to 2027, and $8.0 million in 2028.  Starting in 2029, and in each year thereafter until 2044, annual principal payments will be $2.0 million.

 

Title XI Bonds:  In September 2003, the Company issued $55.0 million in U.S. Government guaranteed ship finance bonds (Title XI) to partially finance the delivery of the MV Manukai.  The secured bonds have a final maturity in September 2028 with a coupon of 5.34 percent.  The bonds are amortized by fifty semi-annual payments of $1.1 million plus interest.  In July 2004, the Company issued $55.0 million of U.S. Government guaranteed ship finance bonds (Title XI) to partially finance the delivery of the MV Maunawili.  The secured bonds have a final maturity in July 2029, with a coupon of 5.27 percent.  The bonds are amortized by fifty semi-annual payments of $1.1 million plus interest.

 

Revolving Credit Facility:  During the second quarter of 2012, the Company entered into a $375.0 million, five-year unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks to provide the Company with additional sources of liquidity for working capital requirements and investment opportunities (the “Credit Facility”).  The Credit Facility includes a $100 million sub-limit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit, and a $50 million sub-limit for swing line loans.  The Credit Facility also includes an uncommitted option to increase the Credit Facility by $75 million.

 

The Credit Facility is subject to commitment fees, letter of credit fees, and interest on borrowings based on the Company’s ratio of total debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) (the “Leverage Ratio”).  Commitment fees and letter of credit fees are computed using rates tied to a sliding scale, which range from 0.15 percent to 0.40 percent, and 1.00 percent to 2.25 percent, respectively, based upon the Leverage Ratio.  Interest rates on borrowings are based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.00 percent to 2.25 percent using a sliding scale based on the Leverage Ratio.  The Company may also select an interest rate for borrowings at a base rate as defined within the agreement, plus a margin that ranges from 0.0 percent to 1.25 percent.

 

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the used portion of the Company’s Credit Facility was $6.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively, all of which was from letters of credit.

 

In August 2011, the Company renewed its revolving credit facility with a commitment of $125.0 million and an expiration date of August 2016.  As part of the Company’s debt restructuring completed in June 2012, in connection with the Separation, the outstanding balance of $72.0 million was paid off and the facility was terminated.

 

Capital Leases:  The Company’s capital lease obligations relate to the leasing of specialized and standard containers used in the Company’s South Pacific service.  Capital leases have been classified within current and long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

Debt Guarantees:  The Company’s total debt was $373.6 million and $286.1 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The outstanding debt was unsecured, except for $63.8 million and $68.2 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is guaranteed by the Company’s significant subsidiaries.

 

Covenants: Principal financial covenants as defined in the Company’s five-year revolving credit facility and long-term fixed rate debt include, but are not limited to:

 

·

The ratio of debt to consolidated EBITDA cannot exceed 3.25 to 1.00 for each fiscal four quarter period;

·

The ratio of consolidated EBITDA to interest expense as of the end of any fiscal four quarter period cannot be less than 3.50 to 1.00; and

·

The principal amount of priority debt at any time cannot exceed 20 percent of consolidated tangible assets; and the principal amount of priority debt that is not Title XI priority debt at any time cannot exceed 10 percent of consolidated tangible assets.  Priority debt, as further defined in the revolving credit facility agreement, is all debt secured by a lien on the Company’s assets or subsidiary debt.

 

The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2014.
