Revolving Credit Facilities and Available Liquidity
In addition to cash on hand, as well as cash generated from operations, the Company relies on its U.S. and Japan asset-based revolving credit facilities, as well as on the Topgolf revolving credit facility, to manage seasonal fluctuations in liquidity and to provide additional liquidity when the Company’s operating cash flows are not sufficient to fund the Company’s requirements. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had 175,279,000 outstanding under these facilities and $397,289,000 in cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2021, the Company's available liquidity, which is comprised of cash on hand, including cash received from the issuance of Convertible Senior Notes in May 2020, and amounts available under the Company's its revolving credit facilities, after letters of credit and outstanding borrowings, was $713,067,000. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $335,593,000 outstanding under its U.S. and Japan facilities, and $166,635,000 in cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2020, the Company's available liquidity, which is comprised of cash on hand and amounts available under its U.S. and Japan facilities, after letters of credit and outstanding borrowings, was $259,428,000.
U.S. Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility
In May 2019, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America N.A. and other lenders, which provides a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $400,000,000 (the "ABL Facility"), comprised of a $260,000,000 U.S. facility, a $70,000,000 German facility, a $25,000,000 Canadian facility and a $45,000,000 United Kingdom facility, in each case subject to borrowing base availability under the applicable facility. The amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility are secured by certain assets, including cash (to the extent pledged by the Company), certain intellectual property, certain eligible real estate, inventory and accounts receivable of the Company’s subsidiaries in the United States, Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom. The real estate and intellectual property components of the borrowing base under the ABL Facility are both amortizing. The amount available for the real estate portion is reduced quarterly over a 15-year period, and the amount available for the intellectual property portion is reduced quarterly over a 3-year period.
Amounts available under the ABL Facility increase and decrease with changes in the Company’s inventory and accounts receivable balances. Average outstanding borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $17,090,000, and average amounts available under the ABL Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2021, after outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, was approximately $246,984,000. Amounts borrowed under the ABL Facility may be repaid and borrowed as needed. The entire outstanding principal amount (if any) is due and payable in May 2024.
In April 2020, the Company amended the ABL Facility to permit a customary capped call transaction (see "Convertible Senior Notes" below) in connection with the issuance of convertible debt securities by the Company and to permit the Company to incur loans or financial assistance of up to $50,000,000 pursuant to governmental programs enacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not drawn on these funds. In addition, the ABL Facility imposes restrictions on the amount the Company could pay in annual cash dividends, including certain restrictions on the amount of additional indebtedness and requirements to maintain a certain fixed charge coverage ratio under certain circumstances. In addition, in connection with the merger with Topgolf (see Note 6), the Company amended the ABL Facility to, among other things, permit the consummation of the merger, designate Topgolf and its subsidiaries as excluded subsidiaries under the ABL Facility and amend certain covenants and other provisions to allow the Company to make certain investments in, and enter into certain transactions with Topgolf. Fees in connection with this amendment will be combined with existing debt origination and amendment fees and amortized over the remaining term of the ABL Facility.
The ABL Facility includes certain restrictions including, among other things, restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, liens, stock repurchases and other restricted payments, asset sales, investments, mergers, acquisitions and affiliate transactions. Additionally, the Company is subject to compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of at least 1.0 to 1.0 during, and continuing 30 days after, any period in which the Company’s borrowing base availability, as amended, falls below 10% of the maximum facility amount or $40,000,000. The Company’s borrowing base availability was above $40,000,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, and the Company was in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio as of March 31, 2021. Had the Company not been in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio as of March 31, 2021, the maximum amount of additional indebtedness that could have been outstanding on March 31, 2021 would have been reduced by $40,000,000. As of March 31, 2021, in addition to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, the Company was in compliance with all other financial covenants of the ABL Facility.
The interest rate applicable to outstanding loans under the ABL Facility fluctuates depending on the Company’s “availability ratio," which is expressed as a percentage of (i) the average daily availability under the ABL Facility to (ii) the sum of the Canadian, the German, the U.K. and the U.S. borrowing bases, as adjusted. At March 31, 2021 the Company’s trailing 12-month average interest rate applicable to its outstanding loans under the ABL Facility was 3.43%. Additionally, the ABL Facility provides for monthly fees of 0.25% of the unused portion of the ABL Facility.
Fees in connection with the origination of the ABL Facility and prior amendments are amortized in interest expense over the term of the facility. Unamortized origination fees at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $1,652,000 and $1,891,000, respectively, of which $1,043,000 and $1,031,000, respectively, were included in other current assets and $609,000 and $859,000, respectively, were included in other long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets.
Japan ABL Facility
In January 2021, the Company refinanced the asset-based loan agreement between its subsidiary in Japan and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd (the "2018 Japan ABL Facility"), which provides a credit facility of up to
4,000,000,000 Yen (or U.S. $36,128,000, using the exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2021) over a three-year term, subject to borrowing base availability under the 2018 Japan ABL Facility. The amounts outstanding are secured by certain assets, including eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Japan ABL Facility as of March 31, 2021. The 2018 Japan ABL Facility also includes certain restrictions including covenants related to certain pledged assets and financial performance metrics. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
The 2018 Japan ABL Facility expires in January 2022. The 2018 Japan ABL Facility is subject to an effective interest rate equal to the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate ("TIBOR") plus 1.20%.
Long-Term Debt
Equipment Notes
Between December 2017 and August 2020, the Company entered into four long-term financing agreements (the "Equipment Notes") with Bank of America N.A. and other lenders to invest in its golf ball manufacturing facility in Chicopee, Massachusetts, its North American Distribution Center in Roanoke, Texas, and in corporate IT equipment. The loans are secured by the underlying equipment at each facility and the IT equipment.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a combined $29,747,000 and $31,822,000 outstanding under these Equipment Notes, respectively, of which $8,797,000 and $8,761,000 was included in current liabilities, respectively, and $20,950,000 and $23,061,000 was included in long-term debt, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Equipment Notes accrue interest in the range of 2.36% and 3.79%, and have maturity dates between December 2022 and March 2027. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $239,000 and $165,000, respectively, related to these Equipment Notes.
The Equipment Notes are subject to compliance with the financial covenants in the Company's ABL Facility. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Mortgage Loans
In connection with the merger with Topgolf on March 8, 2021, the Company assumed three mortgage loans related to the construction of three venues. The loans bear annual interest rates ranging from 9.75% to 11.31% and require either monthly (i) principal and interest payments or (ii) interest only payments until their maturity dates, which range from July 2033 to July 2036. For loans requiring monthly interest only payments, the entire unpaid principal balance and any unpaid accrued interest is due on the maturity date. The mortgage loans are secured by the assets of each respective venue.
Term Loan B Facility
In January 2019, to fund the purchase price of the Jack Wolfskin acquisition, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A and other lenders party to the Credit Agreement (the "Term Lenders"). The Credit Agreement provides for a Term Loan B facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal of $480,000,000, which was issued less $9,600,000 in original issue discount and other transaction fees. Such principal amount may be increased pursuant to incremental facilities in the form of additional tranches of term loans or new commitments, up to a maximum incremental amount of $225,000,000, or an unlimited amount subject to compliance with a first lien net leverage ratio of 2.25 to 1.00. The Term Loan Facility is due in January 2026.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $440,400,000 and $441,600,000, respectively, outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, of which $4,800,000 is reflected in current liabilities. The amount outstanding as of March 31, 2021 was offset by unamortized debt issuance costs of $18,125,000, of which $3,816,000 was reflected in the short-term portion of the facility, and $14,309,000 was reflected in the long-term portion of the facility in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets. Total interest and amortization expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $5,847,000 and $7,413,000, respectively.
Loans under the Term Loan Facility are subject to interest at a rate per annum equal to either, at the Company's option, the LIBOR rate or the base rate, plus 4.50% or 3.50%, respectively. The Company utilizes an interest rate hedge in order to mitigate the risk of interest rate fluctuations on this facility. See Note 16 for further information on this hedging contract. Principal payments of $1,200,000 are due quarterly, however the Company has the option to prepay any
outstanding loan balance in whole or in part without premium or penalty. In addition, as of December 31, 2019, the Term Loan Facility requires excess cash flow payments.
Loans outstanding under this facility are guaranteed by the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The loans and guaranties are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and guarantors.
The Credit Agreement contains a cross-default provision with respect to any indebtedness of the Company as defined in the Credit Agreement, as well as customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, restrictions on incurrence of additional debt, liens, dividends and other restricted payments, asset sales, investments, mergers, acquisitions and affiliate transactions. Events of default permitting acceleration under the Credit Agreement include, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest, covenant defaults, material breaches of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, certain cross defaults or a change of control. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
In connection with the merger with Topgolf (see Note 6), the Company amended the Term Loan Facility with Bank of America, N.A. and the Term Lenders to, among other things, permit the consummation of the Merger and certain other transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, designate Topgolf and its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries under the Term Loan Facility, which excludes them from certain requirements, covenants and representations, and amend certain covenants and other provisions to allow the Company to make certain investments in, and enter into certain transactions with Topgolf.
Topgolf Credit Facilities
In connection with the merger with Topgolf on March 8, 2021, the Company assumed a $350,000,000 term loan facility (the “Topgolf Term Loan”), and a $175,000,000 revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A (the “Topgolf Revolving Credit Facility”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank, RBC Capital Markets, as Syndication Agent, and the other agents, arrangers and lenders party thereto (together, the "Topgolf Credit Facilities"). At March 31, 2021, the outstanding balances under the Topgolf Term Loan and Topgolf Revolving Credit Facility were $343,000,000 and $160,000,000, respectively.
Borrowings under the Topgolf Term Loan accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, either (i) an alternate base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the administrative agent), (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (c) the adjusted one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, and (d) 1.75%, or (ii) an adjusted LIBOR rate (for a period equal to the relevant interest period) (which shall not be less than 0.75%), in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for loans under the Topgolf Term Loan is 5.25% with respect to alternate base rate borrowings and 6.25% with respect to LIBOR borrowings. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate on the outstanding borrowings pursuant to the Topgolf Term Loan was 7.00%.
Borrowings under the Topgolf Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, either (i) an alternate base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the administrative agent), (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (c) the adjusted one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, and (d) 1.75%, or (ii) an adjusted LIBOR rate (for a period equal to the relevant interest period) (which shall not be less than 0.75%), in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable rate for the Topgolf Revolving Credit Facility loans is 3.00% with respect to alternate base rate borrowings and 4.00% with respect to LIBOR borrowings subject to two stepdowns of 0.25% per annum upon achievement of specified first lien leverage ratio levels. As of March 31, 2021 the weighted-average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings pursuant to the Topgolf Revolving Credit Facility was 4.25%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee under the Topgolf Revolving Credit Facility based upon the first lien leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) at a rate of up to 0.50% per annum, subject to two stepdowns of 0.13% per annum upon achievement of specified first lien leverage ratio levels. The Company must also pay customary letter of credit fees and agency fees.
The Topgolf Term Loan is payable in quarterly installments of 0.25% of the principal amount per quarter. The remaining unpaid balance on the Topgolf Term Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, is due and payable on February 8, 2026. Outstanding borrowings under the Topgolf Revolving Credit Facility do not amortize and are due and payable on February 8, 2024.
The terms of the Topgolf Credit Facilities requires the Company to maintain on a quarterly basis a total leverage ratio (measured on a trailing four-quarter basis) less than or equal to 5.50:1.00. On September 17, 2020, prior to the completion of the merger, Topgolf entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to modify
the financial covenants and make certain other changes. The Amended Credit Agreement (i) suspends the total leverage ratio financial covenant through and including the fiscal quarter ending on or about March 31, 2022 and (ii) provides for an increased level of 7.75:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on or about June 30, 2022, in each case unless the Company elects to restore the 5.50:1.00 total leverage ratio test (and eliminate the restrictions in the Amended Credit Agreement that apply during the period of relief) at an earlier date. Until the Company demonstrates compliance with the 5.50:1.00 total leverage ratio test for the period ending on or about September 30, 2022 (or terminate the period of relief at an earlier date after demonstrating compliance with the 5.50:1.00 total leverage ratio test), the Company is required to maintain unrestricted cash on hand and/or availability under the Topgolf Credit Facilities of not less than $30,000,000.
The Topgolf Credit Facilities also contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants, and certain reporting obligations. The Topgolf Term Loan also contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants, and certain reporting obligations.
Japan Term Loan Facility
In August 2020, the Company entered into a new five-year Term Loan facility (the "2020 Japan Term Loan Facility") between its subsidiary in Japan and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”) for 2,000,000,000 Yen (or approximately U.S. $18,064,000 using the exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2021). The 2020 Japan Term Loan Facility is due in August 2025.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had 1,800,000,000 Yen (or approximately U.S. $16,257,000 using the exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2021) outstanding, of which 400,000,000 Yen (or approximately U.S. $3,612,800 using the exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2021) is reflected in current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets. Total interest expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 3,891,000 Yen (or approximately U.S. $37,000 using the exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2021).
Loans under the 2020 Japan Term Loan Facility are subject to a rate per annum of either, at the Company’s option, SMBC TIBOR or TIBOR plus 80 basis points. Principal payments of 100,000,000 Yen (or approximately U.S. $903,000 using the exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2021) are due quarterly and the facility imposes certain restrictions including covenants to certain financial performance obligations. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Convertible Senior Notes
On May 4, 2020, the Company issued $258,750,000 of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.75% per annum on the principal amount, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2020. The Convertible Notes will mature on May 1, 2026, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Company or converted. The Convertible Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries.
The Company may settle the Convertible Notes through cash settlement, physical settlement, or combination settlement at its election. Therefore, the Convertible Notes were separated into a liability component and an equity component in a manner that reflects the interest cost of a similar nonconvertible debt instrument. The carrying amount of the liability component totaling $185,861,000, as of March 31, 2021, was determined by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component. The carrying amount of the equity component (the conversion feature) and discount on the Convertible Notes, totaling of $67,584,000, is amortized over the remaining term of approximately 5.1 years. The conversion feature of $76,508,000 was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the initial proceeds ascribed to the Convertible Notes.
The Company incurred $8,527,000 of cost associated with the issuance of the Convertible Notes. These debt issuance costs were allocated between the debt and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the proceeds to those components. As such, $6,005,000 was allocated to the liability component of the Convertible Notes, and $2,522,000 was allocated to the equity conversion feature. Unamortized debt issuance costs at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $5,305,000 and $5,504,000, respectively.
The discount on the Convertible Notes as wells as the debt issuance costs allocated to the liability component are amortized over the term of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest rate method.
All or any portion of the Convertible Notes may be converted at the conversion rate and at the holders' option on or after February 1, 2026 until the close of business on the second trading day immediately prior to the maturity date. Additionally, all or any portion of the Convertible Note may be converted at the conversion rate at the holders' option upon the occurrence of certain contingent conversion events, including (i) if the price of the Company’s common stock is more than 130% of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes for any 20 of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the calendar quarter, subsequent to the quarter ending September 30, 2020; (ii) if the trading price of the Convertible Notes, after a consecutive ten trading day period, is less than 98% of the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock multiplied by the conversion rate in effect (iii) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock, as described in the Indenture; or (iv) if the Company calls the Convertible Notes for redemption.
Upon conversion, the Company has the option to settle the conversion obligation in any combination of cash and shares. The initial conversion rate is 56.7698 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of $17.62 per share. At March 31, 2021, the price of the Company's common stock was higher than the initial conversion price. Therefore, the if-converted value of the Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount.
The Company may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes (i) on or after May 6, 2023, but before the 40th trading day prior to the maturity date if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for any 20 of 30 consecutive trading days; (ii) upon a Fundamental Change (where holders can require settlement entirely in cash); or (iii) upon an Event of Default. The Company will also be required to pay additional interest upon (i) failure to timely file with the SEC, (ii) failure to allow the Notes to be freely tradable, or (iii) upon an Event of Default solely related to failure to timely file with the Trustee.
In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes on April 29, 2020, the Company paid $31,775,000 to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions ("Capped Calls") with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Bank of America, N.A. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as well as with each of the option counterparties. The Capped Calls cover the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that initially underlie the Convertible Notes, and are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes, and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Convertible Notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the Capped Calls is initially $27.10. The Capped Calls are recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and are not accounted for as derivatives.
The Convertible Notes will have an impact on the Company’s diluted earnings per share when the average market price of its common stock exceeds the conversion price of $17.62 per share, as the Company intends to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Notes in cash upon conversion. As of March 31, 2021, the average market price of the Company's common stock was $27.74, which exceeded the conversion price. As such, the Company used the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive shares of common stock related to the Convertible Notes for periods the Company reported net income. Upon conversion, there will be no economic dilution from the Convertible Notes until the average market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the cap price of $27.10 per share, as exercise of the Capped Calls offsets any dilution from the Convertible Notes from the conversion price up to the cap price. Capped Calls are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as they would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.
The following table presents the Company's combined aggregate amount of maturities for the Company's long-term debt over the next five years and thereafter as of March 31, 2021. Amounts payable under the Term Loan Facility included below represent the minimum principal repayment obligations. As of March 31, 2021, the Company does not anticipate excess cash flow repayments as defined by the Term Loan Facility.
