Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by Under Armour, Inc. on December 3, 2021. The filing discloses the entry into a material definitive agreement regarding the company's credit facilities.
Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
The filing details an amendment to the company's revolving credit facility rather than reporting operational financial results such as revenue or profit.
- Facility Size: $1,100.0 million revolving credit commitment.
- Maturity Date: Extended from March 8, 2024, to December 3, 2026.
- Interest Rate Margins: Reduced to a range of 1.00% - 1.75% (or 0.00% - 0.75% for alternate base rate loans) based on leverage ratios.
- Commitment Fees: Reduced to a range of 0.15% - 0.25% on unused amounts.
- Interest Rate Benchmark: Transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) for U.S. dollar borrowings.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement introduces several material changes compared to the Existing Credit Agreement:
- Term Extension: The maturity date was extended by approximately 2.75 years.
- Cost Reduction: Both borrowing margins and undrawn commitment fees were lowered.
- Collateral Requirements: Guarantees and collateral requirements will permanently fall away if the company achieves an investment-grade rating from two rating agencies.
- Covenant Adjustments: Certain affirmative and negative covenants and definitions were amended.
Outlook, Risks, and Covenants
The Amended Credit Agreement maintains specific financial covenants and risk factors:
- Financial Covenants: The company must maintain a consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio of not less than 3.50 to 1.0 and a consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio of not greater than 3.25 to 1.0.
- Security Interest: The facility remains primarily secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all assets, subject to the investment-grade fall-away provision.
- Events of Default: Standard events include nonpayment, covenant violations, cross-defaults, bankruptcy, and change of control, which could trigger acceleration of debt.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the company's current leverage ratio to ensure compliance with the 3.25x debt-to-EBITDA covenant.
- Monitor credit rating agency reports to determine if the company has achieved investment-grade status, which would eliminate collateral requirements.
- Confirm the effective interest rate on any outstanding borrowings under the new SOFR-based pricing grid.
- Review the full text of Exhibit 10.01 for specific definitions of "consolidated total indebtedness" and "consolidated EBITDA" used in covenant calculations.
