Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Debt | Debt and Capital Lease Obligations Viad’s total debt as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $11.4 million and $11.7 million, respectively. The debt-to-capital ratio was 0.032 to 1 as of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Capital is defined as total debt and capital lease obligations plus total stockholders’ equity. In May 2011, Viad entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a $130 million revolving line of credit, which may be increased up to an additional $50 million under certain circumstances. The term of the Credit Facility is five years (expiring on May 18, 2016) and borrowings are to be used for general corporate purposes (including permitted acquisitions) and to support up to $50 million of letters of credit. The lenders have a first perfected security interest in all of the personal property of Viad and GES, including 65 percent of the capital stock of top-tier foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2014, Viad’s total debt of $11.4 million consisted of a $10.0 million revolver borrowing on the Credit Facility and $1.4 million of capital lease obligations. As of June 30, 2014, Viad had $118.7 million of capacity remaining under its Credit Facility reflecting outstanding letters of credit of $1.3 million and the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility of $10.0 million. Borrowings under the Credit Facility (under which GES is a guarantor) are indexed to the prime rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate, plus appropriate spreads tied to Viad’s leverage ratio. Commitment fees and letters of credit fees are also tied to Viad’s leverage ratio. The fees on the unused portion of the Credit Facility are currently 0.35 percent annually. The Credit Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for facilities of this type, including a fixed-charge coverage ratio, leverage ratio and dividend and share repurchase limits. Significant other covenants include limitations on: investments, additional indebtedness, sales/leases of assets, acquisitions, consolidations or mergers and liens on property. As of June 30, 2014, Viad was in compliance with all covenants. As of June 30, 2014, Viad had certain obligations under guarantees to third parties on behalf of its subsidiaries. These guarantees are not subject to liability recognition in the consolidated financial statements and relate to leased facilities entered into by the Company’s subsidiary operations. The Company would generally be required to make payments to the respective third parties under these guarantees in the event that the related subsidiary could not meet its own payment obligations. The maximum potential amount of future payments that Viad would be required to make under all guarantees existing as of June 30, 2014 would be $10.0 million. These guarantees relate to leased facilities and expire through October 2017. There are no recourse provisions that would enable Viad to recover from third parties any payments made under the guarantees. Furthermore, there are no collateral or similar arrangements whereby Viad could recover payments. The estimated fair value of total debt was $11.3 million and $11.5 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair value of debt was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar terms and maturity.
