Revolving Credit Facility
 
The Company completed the closing of a new
five
-year revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) on
July 5, 2016.
Maximum borrowings under the Revolver total
$400,000,000
from
April
through
July
and
$500,000,000
from
August
through
March.  
The Revolver balance as of
September 29, 2018
was
$242,947,000
and is included in Long-Term Debt in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet since the Revolver matures on
July 5, 2021.
The total unused credit availability was
$243,500,000
as of
September 29, 2018. 
The Company utilizes its Revolver for general corporate purposes, including seasonal working capital needs, to pay debt principal and interest obligations, and to fund capital expenditures and acquisitions. Seasonal working capital needs are affected by the growing cycles of the vegetables and fruits the Company processes. The majority of vegetable and fruit inventories are produced during the months of
June
through
November
and are then sold over the following year. Payment terms for vegetable and fruit produce are generally
three
months but can vary from a few days to
seven
months. Accordingly, the Company’s need to draw on the Revolver
may
fluctuate significantly throughout the year.
 
The decrease in the reported end of period amount of Revolver borrowings during the
first
six
months of fiscal
2019
compared to the
first
six
months of fiscal
2018
was attributable to Working Capital which is
$54,536,000
lower than the same period last year primarily due to the Modesto disposal.
 
General terms of the Revolver include payment of interest at LIBOR plus a defined spread.
