Credit Agreement In 2008, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, CoreComposites de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to refinance certain existing debt and borrow funds to finance the construction of the Company’s manufacturing facility in Mexico. Under this Credit Agreement, the Company received certain loans, subject to the terms and conditions stated in the agreement, which included (1) a $12,000,000 Capex loan; (2) an $8,000,000 Mexican loan; (3) an $8,000,000 variable rate revolving line of credit; and (4) a letter of credit in an undrawn face amount of $3,332,493 with respect to the Company’s existing Industrial Development Revenue Bond (“IDRB”) financing. The Credit Agreement is secured by a guarantee of each U.S. subsidiary of the Company, and by a lien on substantially all of the present and future assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries, except that only 65% of the stock issued by CoreComposites de Mexico, S. de C.V. has been pledged. The $8,000,000 Mexican loan is also secured by substantially all of the present and future assets of the Company’s Mexican subsidiary. On March 27, 2013, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, CoreComposites de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., entered into an eighth amendment (the "Eighth Amendment") to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Eighth Amendment, the parties agreed to modify certain terms of the Credit Agreement. These modifications included (1) an increase to the borrowing limit on the revolving line of credit from $8,000,000 to $18,000,000; (2) modification to the fixed charge definition to exclude capital expenditures of up to $18,000,000 associated with the Company's compression molding capacity expansion and any sheet molding compound manufacturing capacity expansion; (3) to extend the commitment period for the revolving line of credit to May 31, 2015; and (4) to cancel, effective immediately, the unused $10,000,000 Mexican Expansion Revolving Loan that was added as part of the sixth amendment to the Credit Agreement, which had no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2012 and was scheduled to expire on May 31, 2013. On October 31, 2013, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Corecomposites de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., entered into a ninth amendment (the "Ninth Amendment") to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Ninth Amendment, the parties agreed to decrease the applicable margin for interest rates on Eurodollar Loans and Daily Libor Loans to 160 basis points from 175 basis points. Capex Loan The $12,000,000 Capex loan was a construction draw loan that converted to a seven-year term loan with fixed monthly principal payments. Borrowings made pursuant to this loan bear interest, payable monthly at 30 day LIBOR plus 160 basis points. The 30 day LIBOR rate was 0.17% at December 31, 2013. Mexican Loan The $8,000,000 Mexican loan was also a construction draw loan to finance the production facility in Matamoros, Mexico that was converted to a term loan in July 2009. This commitment had an original term of five years with annual payments commencing January 31, 2010. Borrowings made pursuant to this loan bear interest, payable annually at daily LIBOR plus 160 basis points. The daily LIBOR rate was 0.13% at December 31, 2013. Industrial Development Revenue Bond In May 1998, the Company borrowed $7,500,000 through the issuance of an Industrial Development Revenue Bond (“IDRB”). The IDRB bears interest at a weekly adjustable rate and matured in April 2013. As security for the IDRB, the Company obtained a letter of credit from a commercial bank. The letter of credit expired in April 2013 upon final payment of the loan. Revolving Line of Credit At December 31, 2013, the Company had available an $18,000,000 variable rate revolving line of credit scheduled to mature on May 31, 2015. The revolving line of credit bears interest at daily LIBOR plus 160 basis points and is collateralized by all of the present and future assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries (except that only 65% of the stock issued by CoreComposites de Mexico, S. de C.V. has been pledged). Annual maturities of long-term debt are as follows:
2014 | $ | 3,314,000 |
2015 | 1,714,000 |
2016 | 715,000 |
Total | $ | 5,743,000 |
Interest Rate Swaps In conjunction with its variable rate IDRB, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement through April 2013, which was initially designated as a cash flow hedging instrument. The IDRB interest rate swap expired in April 2013 upon payment in full of the IDRB. Under this agreement, the Company paid a fixed rate of 4.89% to the counterparty and received 76% of the 30-day commercial paper rate (0.10% at December 31, 2012). During 2010, the Company determined this interest rate swap was no longer highly effective. As a result, the Company discontinued the use of hedge accounting effective January 1, 2010 related to this swap, and began recording mark-to-market adjustments within interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The pre-tax loss previously recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), totaling $200,000 as of December 31, 2009, was amortized as an increase to interest expense of $5,000 per month, or $3,000 net of tax, over the remaining term of the interest rate swap agreement. The fair value of the swap was a liability of $8,000 as of December 31, 2012. The Company recorded interest income of $8,000 and $44,000 for a mark-to-market adjustment of fair value related to this swap for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The notional amount of the swap at December 31, 2012 was $420,000. On December 18, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that became effective May 1, 2009 and continues through May 2016, which was designated as a cash flow hedge of the $12,000,000 Capex loan. Under this agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of 2.295% to the counterparty and receives 30 day LIBOR (0.17% at December 31, 2013). Effective March 31, 2009, the interest terms in the Company’s Credit Agreement related to the $12,000,000 Capex loan were amended. The Company then determined this interest rate swap was no longer highly effective. As a result, the Company discontinued the use of hedge accounting effective March 31, 2009 related to this swap, and began recording mark-to-market adjustments within interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The pre-tax loss previously recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), totaling $146,000 as of March 31, 2009, is being amortized as an increase to interest expense of $2,000 per month, or $1,000 net of tax, over the remaining term of the interest rate swap agreement. The fair value of the swap as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was a liability of $103,000 and $205,000, respectively. The Company recorded interest income of $102,000 and $74,000 for mark-to-market adjustments of fair value related to this swap for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The notional amount of the swap at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $4,143,000 and $5,857,000, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, interest expense includes expense of $110,000 and $170,000, respectively, for settlements related to the Company’s swaps. Bank Covenants The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants included in the Credit Agreement with respect to leverage ratios, fixed charge ratios, and capital expenditures, as well as other customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants associated with the loans made under the Credit Agreement as described above. Management regularly evaluates the Company’s ability to meet its debt covenants. Based upon the Company’s forecasts, which are primarily based on industry analysts’ estimates of heavy and medium-duty truck production volumes, as well as other assumptions, management believes that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with its financial covenants for the next 12 months. Leases In September 2013, the Company renewed its operating lease agreement through July 2019 for the manufacturing facility located in Batavia, Ohio. The Company leases a warehouse and distribution center in Brownsville, Texas under a 5-year operating lease agreement expiring in October 2017. Total rental expense was $800,000 and $994,000 for 2013 and 2012, respectively. Included in rental expense are both operating lease payments and rental costs related to the use of equipment during the normal course of business under nonbinding terms.
