Line of Credit Facility [Abstract] |
Line of Credit | Line of Credit On January 24, 2011, we entered into a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, (“Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) that provides us with a $15,000 revolving line of credit. See Note 8 for further discussion regarding the Term Loan entered into with PNC. The Credit Agreement has a stated maturity date of January 24, 2016, if not renewed. The Credit Agreement includes a lockbox agreement and a subjective acceleration clause and as a result we have classified the revolving line of credit as a current liability. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of our assets and PNC is also secured by an inventory repurchase agreement with Whirlpool Corporation for Whirlpool purchases only. We also issued a $750 letter of credit in favor of Whirlpool Corporation. The Credit Agreement requires starting with the fiscal quarter ending December 28, 2013 and continuing at the end of each quarter thereafter, that we meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00, measured on a trailing twelve-month basis. The Credit Agreement limits investments we can purchase, the amount of other debt and leases we can incur, the amount of loans we can issue to our affiliates and the amount we can spend on fixed assets along with prohibiting the payment of dividends. The interest rate on the revolving line of credit is PNC Base Rate plus 2.75%. If certain interest rate reduction conditions are met starting January 31, 2014, the rate will change to PNC Base Rate plus 1.75%, or 1-, 2- or 3-month PNC LIBOR Rate plus 2.75%. The PNC Base Rate shall mean, for any day, a fluctuating per annum rate of interest equal to the highest of (i) the interest rate per annum announced from time to time by PNC at its prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Open Rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points (1%). As of March 30, 2013, the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $7,769 with an interest rate of 6.00%. As of December 29, 2012, the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $10,559 with a weighted average interest rate of 3.07%, which included both PNC LIBOR Rate and PNC Base Rate loans. The amount of revolving borrowings under the Credit Agreement is based on a formula using accounts receivable and inventories. We may not have access to the full $15,000 revolving line of credit due to the formula using accounts receivable and inventories, the amount of the letter of credit issued in favor of Whirlpool Corporation and the amount of outstanding loans between PNC and our AAP joint venture. As of March 30, 2013 and December 29, 2012, our available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was $3,806 and $2,531, respectively. On March 14, 2013, we executed the third amendment to the Credit Agreement that extended the agreement from January 24, 2014 until January 24, 2016, waived our prior “events of default,” reset our financial covenants and increased our interest rate, among other things. The material amended terms under the Credit Agreement are as follows:
• | We must meet monthly minimum EBITDA requirements set forth in the amendment through 2013.
• | The affiliate loan balance must be reduced by $40 per month in 2013 and the affiliate loan balance will be capped at $300 on January 25, 2014, and thereafter.
• | Starting on December 28, 2013, we must meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00 for the nine months then ended and on a trailing twelve-month basis beginning with the period ending March 30, 2014, and each quarter thereafter.
• | The interest rate spread on our Revolving Loan and Term Loan increased 100 basis points for both PNC Base Rate loans and 1-, 2- or 3-month PNC LIBOR Rate loans. We are not eligible to borrow under 1-, 2- or 3-month PNC LIBOR Rate loans until certain Interest Rate Reduction conditions are met as set forth in the amendment, which include meeting all financial covenants during 2013. If these Interest Rate Reduction conditions are met, we will also be able to remove the 100 basis point increase for both PNC Base Rate loans and 1-, 2- or 3-month PNC LIBOR Rate loans. The earliest the Interest Rate Reduction conditions could be met is January 31, 2014.
• | A prepayment penalty will be assessed at 3% during the first year of the third amendment to our Credit Agreement, 2% during the second year and 1% during the third year.
