(1)U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities balance was US$22.5 million as at December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - US$123.5 million).
(2)The decrease in the principal amount of the credit facilities outstanding from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 is the result of net repayments of $136.9 million, partially offset by an increase in the reported amount of U.S. denominated debt of $15.8 million due to foreign exchange.

At December 31, 2022, Baytex had US$850 million of revolving credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities"). On April 1, 2022, Baytex amended its Credit Facilities to increase the revolving credit facility to US$850 million and extend the maturity from April 1, 2024 to April 1, 2026. The Credit Facilities are comprised of a US$50 million operating loan and a US$600 million syndicated revolving loan for Baytex and a US$10 million operating loan and a US$190 million syndicated revolving loan for Baytex's wholly-owned subsidiary, Baytex Energy USA, Inc. There were no changes to the financial covenants as a result of the amendments.

The Credit Facilities are not borrowing base facilities and do not require annual or semi-annual reviews. The Credit Facilities contain standard commercial covenants in addition to the financial covenants detailed below. There are no mandatory principal payments required prior to maturity which could be extended by Baytex. Advances under the Credit Facilities can be drawn in either Canadian or U.S. funds and bear interest at the bank’s prime lending rate, bankers’ acceptance discount rates or secured overnight financing rates ("SOFR"), plus applicable margins.

The weighted average interest rate on the Credit Facilities was 3.6% for the year ended December 31, 2022 (2.1% for the year ended December 31, 2021).

The following table summarizes the financial covenants applicable to the Credit Facilities and the Company's compliance therewith at December 31, 2022.

As at December 31, 2022, the Company's Senior Secured Debt totaled $385.4 million.
(2)"Bank EBITDA" is calculated based on terms and definitions set out in the credit facility agreement which adjusts net income or loss for financing and interest expenses, income tax, non-recurring losses, certain specific unrealized and non-cash transactions and is calculated based on a trailing twelve-month basis including the impact of material acquisitions as if they had occurred at the beginning of the twelve month period. Bank EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $1.2 billion.
(3)"Interest coverage" is calculated in accordance with the credit facility agreement and is computed as the ratio of Bank EBITDA to financing and interest expenses, excluding certain non-cash transactions, and is calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis. Financing and interest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $80.2 million.

On July 25, 2022 Baytex entered into a $20 million uncommitted unsecured demand revolving letter of credit facility (the "LC Facility"). Letters of credit under this facility are guaranteed by Export Development Canada and do not use capacity available under the Credit Facilities. As at December 31, 2022, Baytex had $15.7 million of outstanding letters of credit under the LC Facility.
