Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, cash flow, or liquidity figures for the reporting period. It focuses exclusively on the terms of a credit agreement amendment.
Material Changes
- Credit Facility Extension: The company extended its secured credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The termination date was moved from September 1, 2013, to September 1, 2014.
- Covenant Amendment: The financial covenant was significantly altered. The previous requirement to limit net losses to $10.0 million (after taxes) on a trailing four-quarter basis was replaced with a requirement to maintain a minimum net income after taxes of not less than $1.00 on a trailing four-quarter basis.
- Impairment Add-backs: Under the new covenant, charges for impairment of goodwill, other intangibles, and up to an aggregate of $5.0 million of store asset impairment are added back to net income for covenant compliance purposes.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
The filing indicates that all other material terms and conditions of the original Credit Agreement remain unchanged. The amendment suggests a strategic shift to ensure compliance with financial covenants by adjusting the net income threshold and allowing for specific impairment add-backs. No specific forward-looking guidance or risk factors beyond the agreement terms are detailed in this report.
