Line of credit agreement with a bank provides for maximum borrowings of $60.0 million and contains certain restrictive covenants that must be maintained by the Company on a consolidated basis. Borrowings on the line of credit are at an interest rate of Term SOFR as of the first day of the month plus 1.85%, (6.42% at December 31, 2024) and are secured by our trade accounts receivable. An “unused fee” of 0.25% is charged if average daily borrowings are less than $18.0 million in a given month. Monthly payments of interest are required under this agreement. Also, under the terms of the agreement the Company is required to maintain a minimum level of financial stability by meeting various metrics as defined in the debt covenants. The Company was in compliance with all provisions under this agreement throughout 2024. At December 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings against the line of credit and approximately $0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, with availability to borrow $59.8 million. At December 31, 2023, outstanding advances on the line were approximately $0.1 million, including letters of credit totaling $0.1 million.
