The Corporation’s revolving credit facility under the current credit agreement was entered into January 6, 2016 and matures January 6, 2021. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the credit agreement, which are classified as assets, and is amortizing them over the term of the credit agreement. The current portion of $0.4 million, which is to be amortized over the next twelve months, is reflected in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portion of $0.7 million is reflected in "Other Assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of December 30, 2017, there was $267.5 million outstanding under the $400 million revolving credit facility of which $240 million was classified as long-term since the Corporation does not expect to repay the borrowings within a year. Because the Corporation expects, but is not required, to repay the remaining $27.5 million in 2018, it is classified as current.

The revolving credit facility under the credit agreement is the primary source of committed funding from which the Corporation finances its planned capital expenditures and strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions, repurchases of common stock, and certain working capital needs.

The credit agreement contains a number of covenants. Non-compliance with covenants in the credit agreement could prevent the Corporation from being able to access further borrowings under the revolving credit facility, require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding with respect to the revolving credit facility, and/or increase the cost of borrowing.

Certain covenants require maintenance of financial ratios as of the end of any fiscal quarter, including:

a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters to (b) the sum of consolidated interest charges; and
a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters.

The most restrictive of the financial covenants is the consolidated leverage ratio requirement of 3.5 to 1.0. Under the credit agreement, consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of intangibles, as well as non-cash, nonrecurring charges and all non-cash items increasing net income.  As of December 30, 2017, the Corporation was below the maximum allowable ratio and was in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the credit agreement.  The Corporation expects to remain in compliance over the next twelve months.
