Business Context and Reporting Period
Installed Building Products, Inc. filed a Form 8-K on July 8, 2014, reporting the entry into a new Credit and Security Agreement. The Company, a Delaware corporation, entered into this agreement with KeyBank National Association as the administrative agent and lead arranger to replace its prior $50 million revolving credit facility.
Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
The new credit facility is a five-year senior secured arrangement with an aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million, structured as follows:
- Term Loan: $25 million borrowed at closing.
- Revolving Credit Facility: Up to $75 million available.
- Letters of Credit: Up to $10 million available (reduces revolver availability).
- Swing Line Loans: Up to $5 million available (reduces revolver availability).
At closing, no letters of credit were issued, and no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan amortizes in quarterly payments starting December 31, 2014, with a final maturity date of July 7, 2019.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the replacement of the Company's previous $50 million revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in May 2016. The new agreement increases total available credit capacity to $100 million and extends the maturity horizon to 2019. The new facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, excluding Suburban Insulation, Inc.

The Company intends to use the proceeds to refinance existing indebtedness, fund operating and working capital needs, and support growth and acquisition initiatives.
