Debt | 10. Debt — The Company has a revolving line of credit that is shown as long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company has no short-term debt as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The debt is summarized in the following table: Long-term indebtedness ($000's) March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Revolving line of credit $ 97,000 $ 52,300 Deferred loan fees ( 761 ) ( 823 ) Total indebtedness, net of deferred loan fees $ 96,239 $ 51,477 The deferred loan fees as of March 31, 2023 are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company and certain of its affiliates are parties to a revolving line of credit agreement entitled the “Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement” dated as of August 5, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), which is a senior secured lending facility among AMVAC, the Company’s principal operating subsidiary, as Borrower Agent (including the Company and AMVAC BV), as Borrowers, on the one hand, and a group of commercial lenders led by Bank of the West as administrative agent, documentation agent, syndication agent, collateral agent and sole lead arranger, on the other hand. The Credit Agreement consists of a line of credit of up to $ 275,000 , an accordion feature of up to $ 150,000 , a letter of credit and swingline sub-facility (each having limits of $ 25,000 ) and has a maturity date of August 5, 2026 . The Credit Agreement amended and restated the previous credit facility, which had a maturity date of June 30, 2022. With respect to key financial covenants, the Credit Agreement contains two: namely, borrowers are required to maintain a Total Leverage (“TL”) Ratio of no more than 3.5 -to-1, during the first three years, stepping down to 3.25 -to-1 as of September 30, 2024, and a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio ("FCCR") of at least 1.25 -to-1. In addition, to the extent that it completes acquisitions totaling $ 15 million or more in any 90-day period, AMVAC may step-up the TL Ratio by 0.5 -to-1, not to exceed 4.00 -to-1, for the next three full consecutive quarters. Acquisitions below $ 50 million do not require Agent consent. The Company’s borrowing capacity varies with its financial performance, measured in terms of Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the Credit Agreement, for the trailing twelve-month period. Under the Credit Agreement, revolving loans bear interest at a variable rate based, at borrower’s election with proper notice, on either (i) LIBOR plus the “Applicable Margin” which is based upon the Total Leverage (“TL”) Ratio (“LIBOR Revolver Loan”) or (ii) the greater of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 %, and (z) the Daily One-Month LIBOR Rate plus 1.00 %, plus, in the case of (x), (y) or (z) the Applicable Margin (“Adjusted Base Rate Revolver Loan”). The Company and the Lenders entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, effective March 9, 2023, whereby LIBOR was replaced by SOFR with a credit spread adjustment of 10.0 bps for all SOFR periods. The revolving loans now bear interest at a variable rate based at our election with proper notice, on either (i) SOFR plus 0.1% per annum and the “Applicable Margin” or (ii) the greater of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, and (z) the Daily One-Month SOFR Rate plus 1.10%, plus, in the case of (x), (y) or (z) the Applicable Margin (“Adjusted Base Rate Revolver Loan”). Interest payments for SOFR Revolver Loans are payable on the last day of each interest period (either one-, three- or six- months, as selected by the Company) and the maturity date, while interest payments for Adjusted Base Rate Revolver Loans are payable on the last business day of each month and the maturity date. The interest rate on March 31, 2023, was 6.53 %. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the TL Ratio but noncompliant with respect to the FCCR. The noncompliance was driven to the lesser extent by a reduction in the Consolidated EBITDA (in the numerator of the FCCR calculation) during the twelve months ended March 31, 2023, and to a greater extent by higher-than-normal distributions (in the denominator of the FCCR calculation) arising from share repurchases made by the Company during the same period. On May 8, 2023, the Company obtained a waiver of the FCCR for the twelve months ended March 31, 2023, and an adjustment to the FCCR terms for the period ending June 30, 2023. The impact of most of the share repurchases will disappear from the denominator in the FCCR calculation in the third quarter of 2023. At March 31, 2023, according to the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended, and based on our performance against the most restrictive covenant listed above, the Company had the capacity to increase its borrowings by up to $ 111,922 . This compares to an available borrowing capacity of $ 200,372 as of December 31, 2022. |
