Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
In the normal course of business, our financial position and results of operations are routinely subject to a variety of risks, including market risk associated with interest rate movements on borrowings and foreign currency fluctuations. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of these and other potential exposures.
Interest Rates
We utilize cash from operations and from our Revolving Facility of our Credit Facility to fund our working capital needs. Our Credit Facility is not used for trading or speculative purposes. As part of our Credit Facility, we also have an outstanding $17.5 million FILO loan. In addition, we have available letters of credit as sources of financing for our working capital requirements. Borrowings under the Credit Facility, which expires May 24, 2023, bear interest at variable rates based on Bank of America’s prime rate or LIBOR.
At July 31, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Facility. The prime-based rate was 5.25% during the first six months of fiscal 2021. At July 31, 2021, the interest rate for the $17.5 million outstanding under the FILO loan was 8.50%.
Based upon a sensitivity analysis as of July 31, 2021, assuming average outstanding borrowing during the first six months of fiscal 2021 of $32.7 million under our Revolving Facility and $17.5 million outstanding under our FILO loan, a 50 basis point increase in interest rates would have resulted in a potential increase in interest expense of approximately $251,000 on an annualized basis.
Foreign Currency
Our two DXL stores located in Ontario, Canada conduct business in Canadian dollars. Sales from these stores were immaterial to consolidated sales. As such, we believe that movement in foreign currency exchange rates will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
