Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
LONG-TERM DEBT | LONG-TERM DEBT On April 25, 2018, we entered into an eighth amendment and commitment increase (the “Eighth Amendment”) to our former secured credit facility, dated as of August 30, 2012 (as amended, the “Former Credit Agreement”), which amended the Former Credit Agreement as follows: (i) increase the aggregate revolving credit commitment to $200 million; (ii) permit the Company to use the proceeds of revolving loans; (a) to repay certain indebtedness; (b) for working capital and acquisitions; (c) to make certain capital expenditures; (d) to pay interest on certain subordinated indebtedness and refinancing indebtedness (subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions); (e) to prepay, repay, purchase or redeem certain subordinated indebtedness; and (f) for general corporate purposes; (iii) modify the maximum senior secured leverage ratio covenant; and (iv) release the mortgage liens of the Administrative Agent on certain real property collateral located in a flood plain, among other things. Following the effectiveness of the Eighth Amendment, the Former Credit Agreement was comprised of a $200 million revolving credit facility and a $150 million term loan. Under the Former Credit Agreement, as amended by the Eighth Amendment, we were required to comply with a covenant to maintain a maximum senior secured leverage ratio. We incurred approximately $0.7 million in transaction costs related to the Eighth Amendment of our Former Credit Agreement, which were recorded in Net loss on early extinguishment of debt. On May 7, 2018, we used the remaining capacity from the Eighth Amendment to redeem approximately 80% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 2.75% convertible subordinated notes due March 15, 2021 (the “Convertible Notes”). We recognized (i) a net gain of approximately $1.2 million related to the redemption of our Convertible Notes; and (ii) a loss of approximately $0.5 million related to transaction costs incurred for the redemption of our Convertible Notes, all of which were recorded in Net loss on early extinguishment of debt. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for further discussion of the redemption of our Convertible Notes. On May 31, 2018, we completed the issuance of $325.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for further discussion of the sale of the Senior Notes. On May 31, 2018, we used approximately $291.4 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes to repay all amounts outstanding under our Former Credit Agreement and all commitments thereunder were terminated. In connection with the repayment in full of all amounts due thereunder, the Former Credit Agreement was retired and $2.0 million of letters of credit previously issued under the Former Credit Agreement were deemed issued under (and remain outstanding under) the New Credit Facility (as defined below). We did not incur any material early termination penalties in connection with the repayment of the Former Credit Agreement. In connection with the termination of the Former Credit Agreement, we recognized (i) a loss of approximately $0.7 million related to the Eighth Amendment transaction costs; and (ii) a loss of approximately $0.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Former Credit Agreement, all of which were recorded in Net loss on early extinguishment of debt. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized a net loss of $0.9 million, which was recorded in Net loss on early extinguishment of debt and consisted of the following: (i) a loss of approximately $1.6 million related to our Former Credit Agreement (discussed above); and (ii) a net gain of approximately $0.7 million related to the redemption of our Convertible Notes (discussed above). On May 31, 2018, in connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, we entered into a new $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) with Credit Facility Guarantors (as defined below), the financial institutions party thereto, as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. Our obligations under the New Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the same subsidiaries which guarantee the Senior Notes and certain of our subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Credit Facility Guarantors”). At closing, we had no outstanding borrowings under the New Credit Facility and $148.0 million of availability after giving effect to the $2.0 million of letters of credit previously issued under the Former Credit Agreement that were deemed issued under (and remain outstanding under) the New Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility includes an accordion feature allowing for future increases in the facility size by an additional amount of up to $75.0 million. The New Credit Facility matures on May 31, 2023. Interest will accrue on amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility at either a prime rate or a LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin based upon our total leverage ratio. We incurred approximately $0.9 million in transactions costs related to our New Credit Facility, which were capitalized and will be amortized over the remaining term of the related debt using the straight-line method and are recorded in Intangible and other non-current assets. The New Credit Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in and lien on substantially all of our personal property assets and those of the Credit Facility Guarantors, and will include provisions which require us and such subsidiaries, upon the occurrence of an event of default under the New Credit Facility, to grant additional liens on real property assets accounting for no less than 50% of our and the Credit Facility Guarantors' funeral operations. The New Credit Facility contains customary negative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that, among other things, restrict (subject to certain exceptions) our ability and the Credit Facility Guarantor's ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, and pay dividends and other restricted payments, and the following financial covenants: a total leverage ratio not to exceed 5.50 to 1.00, and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 as of the end of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. We will calculate the financial covenants on a consolidated basis. Our long-term debt consisted of the following at December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018 (in thousands):
| December 31, 2017 |  | September 30, 2018
New Credit Facility | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Revolving credit facility | 92,000 |  |  | — |
Term loan | 127,500 |  |  | — |
Acquisition debt | 10,548 |  |  | 9,766 |
Debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization of $4,442 | (967 | ) |  | — |
Less: current portion | (16,927 | ) |  | (2,118 | )
Total long-term debt, net of current portion | $ | 212,154 |  |  | $ | 7,648 |
As of September 30, 2018, we had no outstanding borrowings under the New Credit Facility. We had one letter of credit issued on November 30, 2017 and outstanding under the New Credit Facility for approximately $2.0 million, which bears interest at 2.125% and will expire on November 26, 2018. The letter of credit automatically renews annually and secures our obligations under our various self-insured policies. Outstanding borrowings under our New Credit Facility bear interest at either a prime rate or a LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin based upon our leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2018, the prime rate margin was equivalent to 1.00% and the LIBOR margin was 2.00%. As we had no outstanding borrowings under the New Credit Facility during the three months ended September 30, 2018, the weighted average interest rate on our New Credit Facility was zero. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the weighted average interest rate on our Former Credit Agreement was 4.0%. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for further discussion of our unamortized debt issuance costs related to our New Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the New Credit Facility, with a leverage ratio of 4.86 to 1.00 and a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.95 to 1.00. Acquisition debt consisted of deferred purchase price and promissory notes payable to sellers. Imputed interest expense related to our acquisition debt was $0.3 million and $0.2 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively and $0.7 million and $0.6 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
