Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Debt | DEBT On June 18, 2015, we entered into a secured five year credit agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The Amended Credit Agreement amends and restates the credit agreement signed between the Company and the same banks on July 13, 2011 and increased our borrowing capacity from $265.0 million to $350.0 million, with an additional $50.0 million accordion. The Amended Credit Agreement provides (1) a $55.0 million term loan; (2) up to $295.0 million of revolving loans, with sublimits for multicurrency borrowings, letters of credit and swing-line notes; and (3) a $50.0 million expansion feature. Borrowings may be used to finance working capital needs, for letters of credit and for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business, including the financing of permitted acquisitions (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest based on one of two options. Alternate base rate loans bear interest that includes a base reference rate plus a spread of 37.5 to 75.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. The base reference rate is the greater of the prime rate; federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; or adjusted 1-month LIBOR plus 100 basis points. Euro-currency loans bear interest based on adjusted LIBOR plus a spread of 137.5 to 175.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding from time to time under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay a quarterly fee of 0.20% to 0.30% (based upon our leverage ratio) of the unused amount of the lenders’ commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, mandatory prepayments and events of default under which the Company's payment obligations may be accelerated. The financial covenants include requirements to maintain (1) a leverage ratio of no more than 3.25 to 1.00, subject to a one-time election to increase the maximum leverage ratio to 3.50 to 1.00 for one fiscal year in connection with a permitted acquisition, and (2) an interest coverage ratio ("ICR") of no less than 3.00 to 1.00. The ICR is the ratio determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters ending on and after September 30, 2015, of (i) Consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) minus the unfinanced portion of Consolidated Capital Expenditures to (ii) Consolidated Interest Expense paid in cash, in each case for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending with the end of such fiscal quarter, all calculated for the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. As of December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement, as we achieved actual ratios of approximately 1.47 to 1.00 on the leverage ratio and 23.82 to 1.00 on the ICR. The Amended Credit Agreement requires the mandatory quarterly repayment of principal on amounts borrowed under such term loan. Payments commenced on September 30, 2015, and are scheduled to be completed on June 30, 2020. The aggregate mandatory principal payments due are as follows:
Year |  | Payments Due
2016 |  |  | $3.4 | million
2017 |  |  | $4.1 | million
2018 |  |  | $4.8 | million
2019 |  |  | $5.5 | million
2020 |  |  | $160.8 | million
All obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of the Corporation’s existing and future material domestic subsidiaries, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement (the “Guarantors”). The obligations are also secured by a Second Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2015, entered into by the Company and the Guarantors which grants to the administrative agent, for the benefit of the lenders, a security interest, subject to certain exceptions, in substantially all of the non-real estate assets of the Guarantors. All amounts borrowed or outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, with the exception of amounts borrowed under the term loan which are subject to quarterly principal payments, are due and mature on June 18, 2020, unless the commitments are terminated earlier either at the request of the Company or if certain events of default occur. In addition, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 we had a $1.2 million and $1.4 million standby letter of credit (LOC) to guarantee Rogers workers compensation plans that were backed by the Amended Credit Agreement. No amounts were drawn on the LOC as of December 31, 2015 or 2014. The Amended Credit Agreement is secured by many of the assets of Rogers, including but not limited to, receivables, equipment, intellectual property, inventory, and stock in certain subsidiaries. If an event of default occurs, the lenders may, among other things, terminate their commitments and declare all outstanding borrowings to be immediately due and payable together with accrued interest and fees. Before entering into the Amended Credit Agreement, we had $0.5 million of remaining capitalized costs from the previous credit agreements. These costs will continue to be amortized over the life of the Amended Credit Agreement. In the second quarter of 2015, we capitalized an additional $1.8 million in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement. These costs will be amortized over the life of the Amended Credit Agreement, which will terminate in June 2020. We incurred amortization expense of $0.5 million in each of the years ended 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2015, we have approximately $2.1 million of credit facility costs remaining to be amortized. We borrowed $125.0 million under the line of credit in the first quarter of 2015 to fund the acquisition of Arlon. During 2015 and 2014, we made principal payments of $6.4 million and $17.5 million, respectively, on the outstanding debt. The principal amount of this debt has been transferred to the new revolving credit line created in June of 2015. We are obligated to pay $3.4 million on this debt obligation in the next 12 months under the term loan. We incurred interest expense on our outstanding debt of $3.5 million, $1.8 million, and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cash paid for interest was $3.3 million, $2.5 million and $3.1 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We incurred an unused commitment fee of $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In July 2012, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the variable interest rate on our term loan debt. As of December 31, 2015, the remaining notional amount of the interest rate swap covers $16.2 million of our term loan debt and has a rate of 0.752%. At December 31, 2015, our outstanding debt balance is comprised of a term loan of $53.6 million and $125.0 million borrowed on the revolving line of credit. At December 31, 2015, the rate charged on this debt is the 1 month LIBOR at 0.4375% plus a spread of 1.50%. Capital Lease During the first quarter of 2011, we recorded a capital lease obligation related to the acquisition of Curamik for its primary manufacturing facility in Eschenbach, Germany. Under the terms of the leasing agreement, we had an option to purchase the property in either 2013 or upon the expiration of the lease in 2021 at a price which is the greater of (i) the then-current market value or (ii) the residual book value of the land including the buildings and installations thereon. We chose not to exercise the option to purchase the property that was available to us on June 30, 2013. The total obligation recorded for the lease as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $5.8 million and $6.8 million, respectively. Depreciation expense related to the capital lease was $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the years ending December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively. These expenses are included as depreciation expense in Cost of Sales on our consolidated statements of operations. Interest expense related to the debt recorded on the capital lease is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. We also incurred interest expense on the capital lease of $0.4 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Restriction on Payment of Dividends Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, we cannot make a cash dividend payment if (i) a default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or will result from the cash dividend payment.We do not currently have any restrictions in our ability to pay dividends under our current, amended credit agreement, as no default of event of default has occurred.
