Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Debt and Credit Facility | Debt and Credit Facility Senior Notes 5.875% Senior Notes. In May 2016, we issued $375.0 million principal amount of 5.875% unsecured senior notes due May 15, 2024 ("5.875% Senior Notes") at 100% of the principal amount. The unamortized amount of debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $4.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Interest expense, including amortization of debt issuance costs, relating to the 5.875% Senior Notes was $22.9 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. A portion of the interest relating to the 5.875% Senior Notes was capitalized as construction in progress. The effective interest rate of the 5.875% Senior Notes is approximately 6.1% per annum, taking into account the amortization of debt issuance costs. All outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes are freely transferable. The fair value of the outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes, which are Level 1 liabilities, was approximately $369.9 million and $399.9 million at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The 5.875% Senior Notes are unsecured obligations and are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries that own virtually all of our operating assets and through which we conduct the vast majority of our business. See Note 17 for condensed guarantor and non-guarantor financial information. The indenture governing the 5.875% Senior Notes places limitations on our ability to, among other things: (i) incur liens; (ii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our and certain of our subsidiaries' assets; (iii) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (iv) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (v) make "restricted payments" (as defined in the indenture to include certain loans, investments, dividend payments, share repurchases and prepayments, redemptions and repurchases of certain indebtedness). Many of these limitations also apply to certain of our subsidiaries. Additionally, the indenture limits the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to be subject to consensual restrictions on paying dividends to us, making loans to us, repaying indebtedness owed to us, or transferring assets to us. Certain types and amounts of restricted payments are allowed by various provisions of the indenture. In particular, the indenture provisions permit us to make restricted payments in any amount if, after giving effect to such restricted payments, our "consolidated net indebtedness" as a ratio of "EBITDA" (each term as defined in the indenture) is less than 2.75:1.00. We may redeem the 5.875% Senior Notes at our option in whole or part at any time on or after May 15, 2019 at a redemption price of 104.406% of the principal amount, declining to 102.938%, 101.469% and 100% of the principal amount on or after May 15, 2020, May 15, 2021 and May 15, 2022, respectively, in each case plus any accrued and unpaid interest. At any time prior to May 15, 2019, we may also redeem some or all of the 5.875% Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, plus a "make-whole premium." Holders of the 5.875% Senior Notes have the right to require us to repurchase the 5.875% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest following the occurrence of both: (i) a change of control and (ii) a ratings decline by one or both of the two major rating agencies within 60 days after the earlier of a change of control or the public notice of an upcoming change of control. A change of control includes: (i) certain ownership changes; (ii) certain recapitalizations, mergers and dispositions; (iii) certain changes in the composition of our Board of Directors; and (iv) stockholder approval of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of us. We may also be required to offer to repurchase the 5.875% Senior Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, with the proceeds of certain asset sales. 8.25% Senior Notes. In May 2012, we issued $225.0 million principal amount of 8.25% unsecured senior notes due June 1, 2020 ("8.25% Senior Notes"), of which $197.8 million principal amount remained outstanding at December 31, 2015. On June 1, 2016, we redeemed in full all remaining 8.25% Senior Notes at a redemption price of 104.125% of the principal amount. Interest expense, including amortization of debt issuance costs, relating to the 8.25% Senior Notes was $7.1 million for 2016. A portion of the interest relating to the 8.25% Senior Notes was capitalized as construction in progress. Revolving Credit Facility Our credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto ("Revolving Credit Facility") provides us with a $300.0 million funding commitment through December 1, 2020. Joining the Company as borrowers ("Co-Borrowers") are three of our wholly-owned domestic operating subsidiaries: Kaiser Aluminum Investments Company, Kaiser Aluminum Fabricated Products, LLC and Kaiser Aluminum Washington, LLC. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the accounts receivable, inventory and certain other related assets and proceeds of the Co-Borrowers, as well as certain machinery and equipment. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, we are able to borrow from time to time an aggregate commitment amount equal to the lesser of $300.0 million and a borrowing base comprised of: (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable; (ii) the lesser of (a) 75% of eligible inventory and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory as determined in the most recent inventory appraisal ordered by the administrative agent; and (iii) certain eligible machinery and equipment supporting up to $60.0 million of borrowing availability, reduced by certain reserves, all as specified in the Revolving Credit Facility. Up to a maximum of $20.0 million of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility may be utilized for letters of credit. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to either a base prime rate or LIBOR, at our option, plus, in each case, a specified variable percentage determined by reference to the then-remaining borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. The funding commitment of the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased up to $400.0 million, subject to certain conditions and the agreement of lenders thereunder. We had $300.0 million of total borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2018, based on the borrowing base determination then in effect. At December 31, 2018, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $8.0 million was used to support outstanding letters of credit, leaving $292.0 million of net borrowing availability. The interest rate applicable to any overnight borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility would have been 5.75% at December 31, 2018. Amounts owed under the Revolving Credit Facility may be accelerated upon the occurrence of various events of default including, without limitation, the failure to make principal or interest payments when due and breaches of covenants, representations and warranties set forth therein. The Revolving Credit Facility places limitations on our ability and certain of our subsidiaries to, among other things, grant liens, engage in mergers, sell assets, incur debt, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, make investments, undertake transactions with affiliates, prepay certain debt, pay dividends and repurchase shares. We are allowed to prepay debt, pay dividends and repurchase shares in any amount if, after giving effect to such payment, $52.5 million or more would be available for us to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility, or if after giving effect to such payment, $45.0 million or more would be available to us to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility and we maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio at or above 1.15:1.0. In addition, we are required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio on a consolidated basis at or above 1.0:1.0 if borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is less than $30.0 million.
