Revolving Credit Facility

The Company maintains a revolving credit facility to manage liquidity, including working capital and capital expenditures. On December 15, 2021, the Company amended its $500.0 million senior, unsecured revolving credit agreement dated November 21, 2019 (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement expands its senior, unsecured credit facility to $750.0 million, which may be increased by up to $250.0 million under certain conditions and provides for the issuance of letters of credit up to a maximum of $100.0 million and swingline loans up to a maximum of $50.0 million. The Amended Credit Agreement extends the maturity date of the credit agreement, which was due to expire on November 21, 2024, to December 15, 2026. As of June 30, 2023, there was no outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility. The unused credit capacity was $746.9 million and $747.3 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company is required to maintain a maximum total adjusted net leverage ratio of 3.75:1, except in the event of an acquisition in which case the ratio may be increased at the Company’s election to 4.25:1 for the quarter in which such acquisition occurs and for the next three quarters thereafter. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants as of June 30, 2023.

In addition, the Company had $36.7 million and $19.6 million outstanding under short-term borrowings as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Included in these amounts are $30.8 million and $14.5 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, related to our subsidiary in India, which has a line of credit of $42.9 million and $34.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and a weighted average interest rate of 8.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

HF-T1 Distribution Center Loan

To finance construction and improvements to the Company’s North American distribution center, the Company’s joint venture with HF Logistics I, LLC (“HF”), HF Logistics-SKX, LLC (the “JV”), through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the JV (“HF-T1”), entered into a $129.5 million construction loan agreement which matures on March 18, 2025 (the “HF-T1 2020 Loan”) with interest of SOFR Daily Floating Rate plus a margin of 1.75% per annum.

HF-T1 also entered into an ISDA master agreement (together with the schedule related thereto, the “Swap Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. to govern derivative and/or hedging transactions that HF-T1 concurrently entered into with Bank of America, N.A. Pursuant to the Swap Agreement, on August 14, 2015, HF-T1 entered into a confirmation of swap transactions (the “Interest Rate Swap”) as amended (the “Swap Agreement Amendment”) on March 18, 2020 with Bank of America, N.A. with a maturity date of March 18, 2025. The Swap Agreement Amendment fixes the effective interest rate on the HF-T1 2020 Loan at 2.55% per annum. The HF-T1 2020 Loan and Swap Agreement Amendment are subject to customary covenants and events of default. Bank of America, N.A. also acts as a lender and syndication agent under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The obligations of the JV under this loan are guaranteed by HF.

The Interest Rate Swap involves the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company amended certain terms of our loan agreement with Bank of America and the related interest rate swap to replace the LIBOR with the daily SOFR as part of our planned reference rate reform activities. As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Interest Rate Swap had an aggregate notional amount of $129.5 million. Under the terms of the Swap Agreement Amendment, the Company will pay a weighted-average fixed rate of 0.778% on the notional amount and receive payments from the counterparty based on the 30-day SOFR rate, effectively modifying the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting floating-rate debt to a fixed rate of 2.63%.

HF-T2 Distribution Center Construction Loan

The weighted-average annual interest rate on borrowings under the HF-T2 Distribution Center Construction Loan was approximately 6.63% during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The obligations of the JV under this loan are guaranteed by TGD Holdings I, LLC, which is an affiliate of HF.
