Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Debt | Debt In October 2020, we entered into the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amended Credit Agreement amended and restated the Third Amended Credit Agreement, and provided for a revolving credit facility with up to a $450.0 million borrowing capacity, with sublimits for multicurrency borrowings, letters of credit and swing-line notes, in addition to a $175.0 million accordion feature. Borrowings may have been 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 Fourth Amended Credit Agreement). The Fourth Amended Credit Agreement extended the maturity, the date on which all amounts borrowed or outstanding under the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement were due, from February 17, 2022 to March 31, 2024. All obligations under the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement were guaranteed by each of our existing and future material domestic subsidiaries, as defined in the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement (the Guarantors). The obligations were also secured by a Fourth Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2022, entered into by us and the Guarantors which granted to the administrative agent, for the benefit of the lenders, a security interest, subject to certain exceptions, in substantially all of our and the Guarantors’ non-real estate assets. These assets included, but were not limited to, receivables, equipment, intellectual property, inventory, and stock in certain subsidiaries. In March 2021, the FCA publicly announced that immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of most Euro, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen and Pound Sterling LIBOR settings would permanently cease. In October 2021, Rogers Corporation and JPMorgan Chase entered into an amendment (Amendment No 1) to the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement to adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the discontinued LIBOR reference rates. Borrowings under the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement could have been made as alternate base rate loans, euro-currency loans, or RFR loans. Alternate base rate loans bear interest at a base reference rate plus a spread of 62.5 to 100.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. The base reference rate was the greatest of (a) the prime rate in effect on such day, (b) the NYFRB rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1%, and (c) the adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period in dollars on such day (or if such day was not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) plus 1%. Euro-currency loans bear interest based on adjusted LIBOR plus a spread of 162.5 to 200.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. RFR loans bears interest based upon the SONIA plus 0.0326% plus a spread of 162.5 to 200.0 basis points. In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding from time to time under the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement, we incurred an annual fee of 25 to 35 basis points (based upon our leverage ratio), paid quarterly, of the unused amount of the lenders’ commitments under the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amended Credit Agreement contained customary representations and warranties, covenants, mandatory prepayments and events of default under which our payment obligations may have been accelerated. If an event of default occurred, the lenders may have, among other things, terminated their commitments and declared all outstanding borrowings to be immediately due and payable together with accrued interest and fees. The financial covenants included requirements to maintain (1) a total net leverage ratio of no more than 3.25 to 1.00, subject to a one-time election to increase the maximum total net leverage ratio to 3.50 to 1.00 for one fiscal year in connection with a permitted acquisition, and (2) an interest coverage ratio of no less than 3.00 to 1.00. We were permitted to net up to $50.0 million of unrestricted domestic cash and cash equivalents against indebtedness in the calculation of the total net leverage ratio. The Fourth Amended Credit Agreement generally permitted us to pay cash dividends to our shareholders, provided that (i) no default or event of default had occurred and was continuing or would have resulted from the dividend payment and (ii) our total net leverage ratio does not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. If our total net leverage ratio exceeded 2.75 to 1.00, we may have nonetheless made up to $20.0 million in restricted payments, including cash dividends, during the fiscal year, provided that no default or event of default had occurred and was continuing or would have resulted from the payments. On March 24, 2023, we entered into the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement which amends and restates the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement, and provides for (1) a revolving credit facility with up to $450.0 million of revolving loans, with sub-limits for multicurrency borrowings, letters of credit and swing-line notes, and (2) a $225.0 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 Fifth Amended Credit Agreement). The Fifth Amended Credit Agreement extends the maturity, the date on which all amounts borrowed or outstanding under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement are due, from March 31, 2024 to March 24, 2028. All obligations under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of our existing and future material domestic subsidiaries, as defined in the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement (the Guarantors). The obligations are also secured by a Fifth Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2023, entered into by us 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 ours and the Guarantors. These assets include, but are not limited to, receivables, equipment, intellectual property, inventory, and stock in certain subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement bear interest based on one of two options. Alternate base rate loans will bear interest at a rate that includes a base reference rate plus a spread of 62.5 to 100.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. The base reference rate will be the greater of the (1) prime rate, (2) federal funds effective rate plus 50.0 basis points, and (3) one-month Term SOFR plus 110.0 basis points. Loans bearing an interest rate determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR, or the Adjusted TIBOR (each as defined in the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement) will bear interest based on the screen rate plus a spread of 162.5 to 200.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. Based on our leverage ratio as of December 31, 2023, the spread was 162.5 basis points. In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding, we incur an annual fee of 25.0 to 35.0 basis points (based upon our leverage ratio), paid quarterly, of the unused amount of the lenders’ commitments under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement. The Fifth Amended Credit Agree ment contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, mandatory prepayments and events of default under which the Company’s payment obligations may be accelerated. The financial covenants include a requirement to maintain (1) a total net leverage ratio of no more than 3.25 to 1.00, subject to a one-time election to increase the maximum total net leverage ratio to 3.75 to 1.00 for one fiscal year in connection with a permitted acquisition, and (2) an interest coverage ratio of no less than 3.00 to 1.00. We are permitted to net up to $50.0 million of unrestricted domestic cash and cash equivalents in the calculation of the total net leverage ratio. The Fifth Amended Credit Agreement generally permits us to pay cash dividends to our shareholders, provided that (i) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the dividend payment and (ii) our total net leverage ratio does not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. If our total net leverage ratio exceeds 2.75 to 1.00, we may nonetheless make up to $20.0 million in restricted payments, including cash dividends, during the fiscal year, provided that no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the payments. Our total net leverage ratio did not exceed 2.75 to 1.00 and our interest coverage ratio was greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 as of December 31, 2023. There were no new borrowings under our revolving credit facility in 2023, and $100.0 million and $190.0 million in new borrowings under our revolving credit facility in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our new borrowings in 2022 were for use in various operations, while our new borrowings in 2021 were primarily used to fund our acquisition of Silicone Engineering. We made discretionary principal payments on our revolving credit facility of $185.0 million, $75.0 million and $25.0 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We had $30.0 million and $215.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We had $2.1 million and $0.9 million of outstanding line of credit issuance costs as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which will be amortized over the life of the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement.
