DEBT [Abstract] |
DEBT | NOTE 2 – DEBT Description: Transcat, through its credit agreement, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), which matures September 20, 2018, has a revolving credit facility that allows for maximum borrowings of $30.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a maximum borrowing restriction based on a 2.75 multiple of earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the preceding four consecutive fiscal quarters. As of September 26, 2015, $29.5 million was available under the Revolving Credit Facility, of which $12.0 million was outstanding and included in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Borrowings available under the Revolving Credit Facility for business acquisitions are limited to $15.0 million in any fiscal year. During the first six months of fiscal year 2016, the Company borrowed $2.9 million for business acquisitions. Interest and Other Costs: Interest on the Revolving Credit Facility accrues, at Transcat's election, at either the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), adjusting daily, or a fixed rate for a designated period at the LIBOR corresponding to such period, in each case, plus a margin. Commitment fees accrue based on the average daily amount of unused credit available on the Revolving Credit Facility. Interest rate margins and commitment fees are determined on a quarterly basis based upon the Company's calculated leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The one-month LIBOR as of September 26, 2015 was 0.2%. The Company's interest rate for the first six months of fiscal year 2016 ranged from 1.7% to 1.8%. Covenants: The Credit Agreement has certain covenants with which the Company has to comply, including a fixed charge ratio covenant and a leverage ratio covenant. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants and requirements during the first six months of fiscal year 2016. Other Terms: The Company has pledged all of its U.S. tangible and intangible personal property, the equity interests of its U.S.-based subsidiaries, and a majority of the common stock of Transcat Canada Inc. as collateral security for the loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility.
