Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
LONG-TERM DEBT | NOTE 3 – LONG-TERM DEBT Description: On October 30, 2017, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2017 Agreement”), which amended and restated our prior credit facility agreement. The 2017 Agreement extended the term of the Company’s $30.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) to October 29, 2021. As of March 31, 2018, $30.0 million was available under the Revolving Credit Facility, of which $8.7 million was outstanding and included in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The 2017 Agreement also increased the amount of the Company’s outstanding term loan to $15.0 million (the “2017 Term Loan”), replacing the previous term loan. The excess funds of the 2017 Term Loan over the previous term loan were used to repay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2018, $14.1 million was outstanding on the 2017 Term Loan, of which $2.1 million was included in current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with the remainder included in long-term debt. The 2017 Term Loan requires principal repayments of $0.2 million per month plus interest through September 2022 with a $4.3 million repayment required on October 29, 2022. Under the 2017 Agreement, borrowings that may be used for business acquisitions are limited to $20.0 million per fiscal year. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2018, no borrowings were used for business acquisitions. Previously, on March 31, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment 3 (“Amendment 3”) to the prior credit agreement. Under Amendment 3, borrowings that could be used for business acquisitions were limited to $15.0 million in fiscal years 2018 and 2019. Amendment 3 also provided the Company with a $10.0 million term loan. The term loan required principal repayments of $0.1 million per month plus interest. Total annual repayment amounts of $1.4 million were required in fiscal years 2017 through 2021 with a $3.0 million repayment required in fiscal year 2022. Amendment 3 also increased the allowable leverage ratio to a maximum of 3.0 from 2.75. As described above, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, we entered into the 2017 Agreement that amended and restated the prior credit agreement, including Amendment 3. The allowable leverage ratio under the 2017 Agreement remains at a maximum multiple of 3.0 of total debt outstanding compared to earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the preceding four consecutive fiscal quarters. Interest and Other Costs: Interest on the Revolving Credit Facility and term loan accrues, at Transcat’s election, at either the variable one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) 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 2017 Agreement. The one-month LIBOR as of March 31, 2018 was 1.9%. The Company’s interest rate for fiscal year 2018 ranged from 3.0% to 3.6%. Covenants: The Credit Agreement has certain covenants with which the Company has to comply, including a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and a leverage ratio covenant. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants and requirements during fiscal years 2018 and 2017. 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.
