Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events | Note 24— Subsequent Events Credit Agreement Amendment and Waiver On March 20, 2025, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) with Bank of America, which further amended the Amended Credit Agreement (as so amended, the “Further Amended Credit Agreement”). The Further Amended Credit Agreement modified the remaining quarterly installments in which the outstanding balance of the existing Term Loan must be paid; the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan as of the effective date of the Amendment was $9.5 million. Under the Further Amended Credit Agreement, such remaining quarterly installments must be paid on the last day of each of our fiscal quarters through April 30, 2027 in the principal amount of (i) in the case of the installments for the fiscal quarters ending April 30, 2025 through January 31, 2026, $325,000 each, (ii) in the case of the installments for the fiscal quarters ending April 30, 2026 through January 31, 2027, $725,000 each, and (iii) in the case of the installment for the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2027, $950,000; the entire then-outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan is required to be paid on August 4, 2027. We continue to have the right to voluntarily prepay the Term Loan, in whole or in part, from time to time without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs, if applicable). The remaining repayment installments of the existing Term A-2 Loan were not modified by the Fourth Amendment; the outstanding principal balance of the Term A-2 Loan as of the effective date of the Fourth Amendment was EUR 12,250,000 million. The amount and availability and repayment terms of the existing $25.0 million revolving credit facility available to the Company under the Further Amended Credit Agreement were not modified by the Fourth Amendment; the outstanding principal balance under the revolving credit facility as of the effective date of the Fourth Amendment was $21.7 million. The Further Amended Credit Agreement modified the applicable interest rate margins payable with respect to the Term Loan, the Term A-2 Loan and the revolving credit facility loans and modified the commitment fee payable with respect to the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility. Under the Further Amended Credit Agreement, the Term Loan and revolving credit facility loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) the Term SOFR rate as defined in the Further Amended Credit Agreement (or, in the case of revolving credit loans denominated in Euros or another currency other than U.S. Dollars, the applicable quoted rate), plus a margin that varies within a range of 1.60% to 2.85% based our consolidated leverage ratio, or (b) a fluctuating reference rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal fund rate plus 0.50%, (ii) Bank of America’s publicly announced prime rate (iii) the Term SOFR Rate plus 1.00%, or (iv) 0.50%, plus a margin that varies within a range of 0.60% to 1.85% based our consolidated leverage ratio. Under the Further Amended Credit Agreement, the Term A-2 Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the EURIBOR rate as defined in the Further Amended Credit Agreement, plus a margin that varies within a range of 1.60% to 2.85% based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Under the Further Amended Credit Agreement, the commitment fee that we are is required to pay on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility under the Further Amended Credit Agreement varies within a range of 0.15% and 0.40% based on our consolidated leverage ratio. We must comply with various customary financial and non-financial covenants under the Further Amended Credit Agreement, certain provisions of which covenants were modified by the Fourth Amendment. The financial covenants under the Further Amended Credit Agreement consist of a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio that is tested commencing with the measurement period ending with the fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2026, and a minimum interim consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio that is tested for certain measurement periods ending April 30, 2025, July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2025; the interim minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio was added by the Fourth Amendment, and certain provisions of the existing financial covenants were modified by the Fourth Amendment. Pursuant to the Further Amended Credit Agreement, the Lender waived the events of default that had occurred under the Amended Credit Agreement as a result of our failure to comply with the maximum consolidated leverage ratio and the minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio in effect thereunder for our fiscal measurement period ended January 31, 2025. Restructuring - Fiscal 2026 Subsequent to year end, on March 20, 2025, we announced our restructuring actions for fiscal 2026 which include the reduction of approximately 10% of the Company’s global workforce, primarily in the PI segment, and the realignment of its underperforming MTEX operation in Portugal. As part of this initiative, AstroNova has cut approximately 70% of the MTEX product portfolio, phasing out low-volume, low-profit models and prioritizing higher-margin products that capitalize on the Company’s consumables business. In addition, all MTEX sales, marketing and customer support functions have been integrated into AstroNova’s global teams. The restructuring action is expected to achieve projected annualized cost savings of $3.0 million.
