Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt consisted of the following:
Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Secured Notes
Revolving credit facility. On August 7, 2012, Thermon Industries, Inc. and Thermon Canada Inc. terminated its existing revolving credit facility, and entered into a new credit facility agreement with a new syndicate of lenders led by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. As a result of the termination, we accelerated the remaining $1,447 of unamortized deferred debt costs associated with the previous revolving credit facility, which is included as interest expense. Under the revolving line of credit, we have available up to $40,000 of aggregate loans of which up to $20,000 is available to our Canadian subsidiary, subject to borrowing base availability. Availability of funds under our new revolving credit facility is determined by a borrowing base equal to the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 65% of eligible inventory, plus 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible equipment, plus 80% of the fair market value of eligible owned real property. In no case shall availability under our revolving credit facility exceed the commitments thereunder. As of September 30, 2012, we had $39,205 of capacity available under our revolving credit facility after taking into account the borrowing base, outstanding loan advances and letters of credit. In addition to our revolving credit facility, we have various short term revolving lines of credit available to us at our foreign affiliates. At September 30, 2012, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Had there been any outstanding borrowings, the interest rate would have been approximately 3%.
The new revolving credit facility will mature in 2015. Any borrowings on our revolving credit facility will incur interest expense that is variable in relation to the LIBOR rate, plus approximately 2.5%. Borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars under the Canadian facility bear interest at a variable rate in relation to the bankers’ acceptance rate, as set forth in the revolving credit facility. In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, we are required to pay a 0.4% per annum commitment fee to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder and letter of credit fees equal to the LIBOR margin or the bankers’ acceptance rate, as applicable, on the undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit.
Senior secured notes. As of September 30, 2012, we had $118,145 of indebtedness outstanding under our senior secured notes with annual cash interest expense of approximately $11,224. Our senior secured notes mature on May 1, 2017 and accrue interest at a fixed rate of 9.5%. We pay interest in cash semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. Our senior secured notes were issued in a Rule 144A exempt senior secured note offering to qualified institutional investors. The proceeds were used to fund the purchase price for the CHS Transactions and related transaction costs. In January 2011, we consummated an offer to exchange the old restricted senior secured notes for new, SEC-registered senior secured notes.
During the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company made partial redemptions of the senior secured notes in the amount of $21,000 and $66,590, respectively. In connection with these redemptions, the Company paid cash premiums on redemption of $630 and $3,596 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As a result of these partial redemptions, we accelerated the amortization of deferred debt cost of $871 and $2,922 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These expenses were included in interest expense for the periods reported.
Guarantees; security. The obligations under our revolving credit facility and our senior secured notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and each of its existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, other than Thermon Industries, Inc., the issuer of the senior secured notes. The obligations under our revolving credit facility are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of our and the guarantors’ assets, subject to certain exceptions, permitted liens and encumbrances reasonably acceptable to the agent under our revolving credit facility. Our senior secured notes and guarantees are also secured by liens on substantially all of our and the guarantors’ assets, subject to certain exceptions; provided, however, that the liens are contractually subordinated to the liens thereon that secure our revolving credit facility.
Restrictive covenants. The revolving credit facility and senior secured notes contain various restrictive covenants that include restrictions or limitations on our ability to: incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified capital stock unless certain financial tests are satisfied; pay dividends, redeem subordinated debt or make other restricted payments; make certain investments or acquisitions; issue stock of subsidiaries; grant or permit certain liens on our assets; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all of our assets; incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting certain of our subsidiaries; transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of our subsidiaries; and change the business we conduct. However, all of these covenants are subject to customary exceptions.
Foreign Currency Transaction Risk
We transact business in various foreign currencies and have established a program that primarily utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risk associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Under this program, increases or decreases in our foreign currency exposures are offset by gains or losses on the forward contracts, to mitigate foreign currency transaction gains or losses. These foreign currency exposures typically arise from intercompany transactions. Our forward contracts generally have terms of 90 days or less. We do not use forward contracts for trading purposes nor do we designate these forward contracts as hedging instruments pursuant to ASC 815. We adjust the carrying amount of all contracts to their fair value at the end of each reporting period and unrealized gains and losses are included in our results of operations for that period. These gains and losses largely offset gains and losses resulting from settlement of payments received from our foreign operations which are settled in U.S. dollars. All outstanding foreign currency forward contracts are marked to market at the end of the period with unrealized gains and losses included in miscellaneous expense. The fair value is determined by quoted prices from active foreign currency markets (Level 2 fair value). The balance sheet reflects unrealized gains within prepaid expenses and other current assets and unrealized losses within accrued liabilities. Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to currency fluctuations will depend on the currency exchange rates and other factors in effect as the contracts mature. As of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the notional amounts of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies were $22,938 and $14,429, respectively.
Net foreign exchange transaction gains or losses included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations were a gain of $8 and a loss of $1,151 in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and a gain of $61 and a loss of $1,242 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The fair values of foreign currency forward contracts were not significant individually and approximated a loss of $106 at September 30, 2012 and a loss of $188 at March 31, 2012.
