LONG-TERM BORROWINGS [Abstract] |
LONG-TERM BORROWINGS | NOTE 6 - LONG-TERM BORROWINGS Long-term borrowings consist of the following:
|  | April 30, 2017 |  |  | October 30, 2016 |
3.25% convertible senior notes due in April 2019 |  | $ | 57,279 |  |  | $ | 57,221 |
2.77% capital lease obligation payable through July 2018 |  |  | 7,371 |  |  |  | 10,067 |
|  |  | 64,650 |  |  |  | 67,288 |
Less current portion |  |  | 5,503 |  |  |  | 5,428 |
|  | $ | 59,147 |  |  | $ | 61,860 |
The Company’s credit facility, which expires in December 2018, has a $50 million limit with an expansion capacity to $75 million, and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets located in the United States and common stock the Company owns in certain of its foreign subsidiaries. The credit facility stipulates that we may not pay cash dividends on Photronics, Inc. stock, and is subject to a minimum interest coverage ratio, total leverage ratio and minimum unrestricted cash balance financial covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with at April 30, 2017. The Company had no outstanding borrowings against the credit facility at April 30, 2017, and $50 million was available for borrowing. The interest rate on the credit facility (2.24% at April 30, 2017) is based on the Company’s total leverage ratio at LIBOR plus a spread, as defined in the credit facility. In May 2017 the credit facility was amended to add certain covenants for our new joint venture in China and other potential investments. See Note 15 for additional discussion of our new joint venture in China. The Company adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU” or “Update”) 2015-03 “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” in the first quarter of its 2017 fiscal year. This ASU requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from that debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. We adopted this ASU on a retrospective basis, as a result of which our October 30, 2016, condensed consolidated balance sheet and its related long-term borrowings note have been adjusted, as necessary, to reflect this Update’s adoption. The effect on our October 30, 2016, condensed consolidated balance sheet is presented below.
Line Item |  | Previously Reported |  |  | Change Due to Adoption |  |  | Retrospectively Adjusted |
Other Assets |  | $ | 4,071 |  |  | $ | (279 | ) |  | $ | 3,792 |
Long-term Borrowings |  | $ | 62,139 |  |  | $ | (279 | ) |  | $ | 61,860 |
In January 2015 the Company privately exchanged $57.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.25% convertible senior notes with a maturity date of April 1, 2016, for new 3.25% convertible senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $57.5 million with a maturity date of April 1, 2019. The conversion rate of the new notes is the same as that of the exchanged notes, which were issued in March 2011 with a conversion rate of approximately 96 shares of common stock per $1,000 note principal, equivalent to a conversion price of $10.37 per share of common stock, and is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, which are described in the indenture dated January 22, 2015. Note holders may convert each $1,000 principal amount of notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding April 1, 2019, and the Company is not required to redeem the notes prior to their maturity date. Interest on the notes accrues in arrears, and is paid semiannually through the notes’ maturity date. In August 2013 a $26.4 million principal amount, five year capital lease commenced to fund the purchase of a high-end lithography tool. Payments under the capital lease, which bears interest at 2.77%, are $0.5 million per month through July 2018. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the Company must maintain the equipment in good working order, and is subject to a cross default with cross acceleration provision related to certain nonfinancial covenants incorporated in its credit facility. As of April 30, 2017, the total amount payable through the end of the lease term was $7.5 million, of which $7.4 million represented principal and $0.1 million represented interest.
