Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
DEBT | DEBT We are party to a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as L/C Issuer, and the Lenders named therein (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of November 18, 2021. The credit facility is in the maximum principal amount of $150.0 million, with an option to increase the principal amount by up to an additional $100.0 million, subject to customary conditions and approval of the lender(s) providing new commitment(s). The credit facility is available for general corporate purposes, including working capital and acquisitions. The credit facility provides for variable rates of interest based on the type of borrowing and the Company's debt to EBITDA financial ratio. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, financial covenants, restrictive covenants and events of default. At October 28, 2017, the interest rate on the credit facility was 1.25% plus LIBOR and we were in compliance with the covenants of the agreement. During the six months ended October 28, 2017, we had $60.0 million of borrowings and payments of $2.5 million, which includes interest of $0.5 million, under this credit facility. As of October 28, 2017, there were outstanding balances against the credit facility of $85.0 million. We believe the fair value approximates the carrying amount as of October 28, 2017. Methode's newly acquired subsidiary, Pacific Insight, is party to two separate credit agreements, one with BMO Harris Bank and one with Roynat. The credit agreement with BMO Harris Bank provides a credit facility in the maximum principal amount of C$14.5 million. Availability under the facility is determined based upon a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and finished goods inventory balances. Funds are available in either Canadian or U.S. currency and interest is calculated at the Canadian Prime Rate plus 0.50%. Any amount outstanding is secured first by Pacific Insight's current assets and second by Pacific Insight's property, plant, and equipment. As of October 28, 2017, there were no outstanding balances against this credit facility and Pacific Insight was in compliance with the covenants of the agreement. As of the filing date of this Form 10-Q, this credit facility is operating on a short-term extension and is expected to be extended for an additional two years. The credit agreement between Pacific Insight and Roynat has a maturity date of May 24, 2020 and provides a credit facility in the maximum principal amount of $10.0 million, with an option to increase the principal amount by up to an additional $3.5 million. The interest rate on the credit facility is 2.25% plus LIBOR. During the one-month period that Methode has owned Pacific I nsight, we have had no borrowings and repayments of $0.1 million under this credit facility. As of October 28, 2017, there were outstanding balances against the credit faci lity of $4.0 million, of which $0.7 million i s due within the next twelve months, and Pacific Insight was in compliance with the covenants of the agreement. We believe the fair value approximates the carrying amount as of October 28, 2017. Excluding credit facilities, the Company also holds debt that was assumed in the acquisitions of Procoplast and Pacific Insight. As of October 28, 2017, Procoplast holds short-term debt totaling $1.5 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 0.97%. As of October 28, 2017, Procoplast holds long-term debt that consists of thirteen notes totaling $17.1 million, with a weighted-average interest rate of 1.34% and maturities ranging from 2018 to 2031. Pacific Insight holds debt in the form of an interest-free loan from the Canadian government that matures in 2019. As of October 28, 2017, $0.1 million is classified as short-term and $0.1 million is classified as long-term.
