In 2018, the Company made prepayments of $36.2 million on the term loan.  Due to the prepayments made in 2018, there are no additional payments due on the term loan until the final payment of $76.1 million in September 2020.  

Credit Facility

 

The Company has entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with various lenders (the “Lenders”) and letter of credit issuers (each, an “L/C Issuer”), and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), swing line lender and an L/C Issuer, providing for various senior secured credit facilities (collectively, the “Credit Facility”).

 

Pursuant to the amended and restated Credit Agreement, the Lenders currently provided a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $170.0 million and a U.S. dollar revolving credit commitment in the aggregate principal amount of $60.5 million. The agreement includes a $19.5 million senior secured multi-currency revolving credit facility for U.S. dollar and specific foreign currency loans.

 

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial and other covenants including the maintenance of a Consolidated Leverage Ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement.  The Company must maintain a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 3.75 through March 31, 2019, decreasing to 3.50 through September 30, 2019.  The ratio will then decrease to 3.25 until the termination of the Credit Facility.

 

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, $29.3 million and $24.4 million of letters of credit were outstanding, respectively. Total unused credit availability under the Credit Facility was $50.7 million and $54.6 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until September 3, 2020, at which time all amounts borrowed pursuant to the Credit Facility must be repaid.

At the Company’s option, revolving loans and the term loans accrue interest at a per annum rate based on either the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Agent’s prime lending rate, (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.0% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (“Base Rate”), or (d) a Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.0% to 2.0% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Interest on swing line loans is the Base Rate.

 

Interest on Base Rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and at maturity. Interest on Eurocurrency Rate loans is payable on the last date of each applicable Interest Period (as defined in the agreement), but in no event less than once every three months and at maturity. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 5.27% and 4.08% at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

The Company has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets to secure its obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and such guaranty obligations are secured by a security interest on substantially all the assets of such subsidiaries, including certain real property. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement may also be guaranteed by the Company’s material foreign subsidiaries to the extent no adverse tax consequences would result to the Company.

 

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company was in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.

 

In accordance with the Credit Facility terms, the Company entered into an interest rate swap on December 30, 2015 to hedge against interest rate exposure related to approximately one-third of the outstanding debt as of the date of the agreement indexed to LIBOR market rates. The fair value of the interest rate swap was an asset of $0.5 million and $0.3 million at December 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively, which is recorded in “Deferred charges and other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company did not designate the interest rate swap as an effective hedge until the first quarter of 2016.  The change in the fair value of the hedge prior to being designated as an effective hedge during the year ended December 31, 2016 of $0.5 million, was recorded in earnings in “Other income (expense), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  From the date of designation, all changes to the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) as long as the hedge is deemed effective.

 

Foreign Debt

The Company has a number of facilities and bilateral agreements in various countries currently supported by letters of credit issued by the Credit Facility or cash.  As of December 31, 2018, the borrowers of these facilities and agreements were in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants.

A subsidiary of the Company located in the Netherlands has a Euro-denominated facilities agreement which as of December 31, 2018 had no outstanding borrowings.  The Company settled the outstanding amount of the overdraft facility in 2018. The Company plans to exit this facility and consolidate it with the Credit Facility.
