Revolving Credit Facility

 

The Company entered into a five-year revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) on July 5, 2016. Maximum borrowings under the Revolver total $300,000,000 from April through July and $400,000,000 from August through March.   The Revolver balance as of June 27, 2020 was $34,406,000 and is included in Long-Term Debt in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets since the Revolver matures on July 5, 2021. 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 average amount of Revolver borrowings during the first three months of fiscal 2021 compared to the first three months of fiscal 2020 was attributable to the high sales in March through June 2020 due to pantry loading as a result of COVID-19.

 

General terms of the Revolver include payment of interest at LIBOR plus a defined spread.
