Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K Current Report was filed by Primoris Services Corporation on December 28, 2012. The filing details the entry into new material definitive financing agreements and the termination of a prior credit agreement.
Key Financial Metrics and Agreements
The filing outlines two primary financing arrangements executed on December 28, 2012:
- Revolving Credit Facility: A $75 million facility with The PrivateBank, Bank of the West, and IBERIABANK Corporation. It includes an option for an incremental facility of up to $50 million. The agreement matures on December 28, 2017.
- Senior Secured Notes: A $50 million issuance with Prudential Investment Management, Inc., funded immediately. The notes mature on December 28, 2022, with an annual interest rate of 3.65%.
- Collateral: Both agreements are secured by company assets, including cash, inventory, equipment, and accounts receivable. Domestic subsidiaries have provided joint and several guarantees.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
As part of the new financing, the Company terminated its previous Loan and Security Agreement dated October 29, 2009 (the "PrivateBank Agreement").
- Termination Status: The Company was in compliance with all covenants at the time of termination.
- Financial Impact: No penalties or fees were incurred. There were no borrowings outstanding under the old agreement at the time of termination.
- Transition: All outstanding letters of credit from the terminated agreement were transferred to the new Credit Agreement.
Guidance, Covenants, and Risks
The new agreements include standard restrictive and financial covenants that the Company must maintain:
- Financial Covenants: Minimum tangible net worth, senior debt/EBITDA ratio, debt service coverage requirements, and a minimum balance for unencumbered net book value for fixed assets.
- Operational Restrictions: Limitations on investments, change of control provisions, and restrictions if the Company disposes of more than 20% of its total assets.
- Repayment Terms: The Senior Notes require annual principal payments of $7.1 million beginning December 28, 2016, through December 28, 2021, with a final payment in 2022. Prepayments are allowed with a minimum of $5 million, subject to make-whole provisions.
The filing text does not provide specific revenue, profit, or cash flow figures for the reporting period, as this is a transactional report rather than a periodic financial statement.
