Hawaiian Telcom Holdco, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1.  Description of Business

 

Business Description

Hawaiian Telcom Holdco, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is the incumbent local exchange carrier for the State of Hawaii with an integrated telecommunications network. The Company offers a variety of telecommunication services to residential and business customers in Hawaii including local telephone, network access and data transport, long distance, Internet, television and wireless phone service. The Company also provides communications equipment sales and maintenance, and network managed services.

 

Organization

The Company has one direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Hawaiian Telcom Communications, Inc. which has two direct wholly-owned subsidiaries — Hawaiian Telcom, Inc. and Hawaiian Telcom Services Company, Inc. Hawaiian Telcom, Inc. operates the regulated local exchange carrier and Hawaiian Telcom Services Company, Inc. operates all other businesses.

 

2.  Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted and condensed. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market accounts with maturities at acquisition of three months or less. The majority of cash balances at June 30, 2013 are held in one bank in demand deposit accounts.

 

Supplemental Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities

Accounts payable included $4.4 million and $3.0 million at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for additions to property, plant and equipment.

 

Taxes Collected from Customers

The Company presents taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a gross basis, including such amounts in the Company’s reported operating revenues. Such amounts represent primarily Hawaii state general excise taxes and HPUC fees. Such taxes and fees amounted to $1.8 million and $3.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and $1.8 million and $3.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing earnings by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing earnings, adjusted for the effect, if any, from assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding, by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. The denominator used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share was as follows:

11,094,681

 

10,730,095

 

11,008,101

 

10,616,201

 

 

The computation of weighted average dilutive shares outstanding excluded restrictive stock units to acquire 2,945 shares of common stock for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 and 19,917 shares and 19,919 shares of common stock for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2012, respectively.  The unrecognized compensation on a per unit basis for these restricted stock units was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period presented.  Therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

3.  Wavecom Solutions Corporation Acquisition

 

On December 31, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of Wavecom Solutions Corporation (“Wavecom”) for $8.7 million in cash, net of cash acquired and final purchase adjustments.  Wavecom provides telecommunication services in the State of Hawaii which are complementary to the Company’s operations.

The Company followed the acquisition method of accounting and allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary fair values, and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values was recorded as goodwill.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company made adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation based on additional information as to the existence and value of certain assets.  In addition, the net acquisition price changed with the final purchase adjustments agreed to by the seller.  The measurement period adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2013. In addition, these adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012. Therefore, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted the comparative 2012 financial information presented herein.  The adjustments are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Depreciation expense amounted to $19.1 million and $37.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Depreciation expense amounted to $16.7 million and $32.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

 

In February 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to sell a parcel of land and warehouse not actively used in the Company’s operations for a purchase price, as amended, of $13.9 million. The sale was subject to due diligence by the buyer and approval of the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (“HPUC”). The HPUC approval was received in May 2013 and the sale was consummated in June 2013. The net proceeds, net of commissions and other costs paid through escrow of $0.8 million, amounted to $13.1 million.  A gain on the sale of $6.5 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2013 as management concluded the land sold was not grouped with the assets subject to the composite depreciation method.  The HPUC approval requires the Company to spend $0.3 million on training employees on broadband telecommunication deployment and operation.  In addition, the HPUC approval requires the remaining net proceeds to be used for improvement of the Company’s broadband network.  The planned training expenses and network capital spending will be recognized as the costs are incurred.

 

In January 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to sell most of its radio towers for $3.6 million.  The agreement includes a leaseback by the Company for a minimum period of 10 years to allow it to continue to use the towers for its radio equipment.  The sale is subject to due diligence by the buyer and approval by the HPUC.

The term loan outstanding at June 30, 2013 provides for interest at the Alternate Base Rate, a rate which is indexed to the prime rate with certain adjustments as defined, plus a margin of 3.00% or a Eurocurrency rate on deposits of one, two, three or six months but no less than 1.00% per annum plus a margin of 4.00%.  The Company has selected the Eurocurrency rate as of June 30, 2013 resulting in a nominal interest rate currently at 5.00%.

Table of Contents

 

The term loan provides for interest payments no less than quarterly.  In addition, quarterly principal payments of $0.8 million are required.  The balance of the loan is due at maturity on June 6, 2019.  The Company must prepay, generally within three months after year end, 50% or 25% of excess cash flow, as defined.  The percent of excess cash flow required is dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio.  The excess cash flow payment for the year ended December 31, 2012 amounted to $2.1 million and was paid in March 2013.  The Company must also make prepayments on loans in the case of certain events such as large asset sales.

 

The Company also has a revolving credit facility which matures on October 3, 2015.  The facility has an available balance of $30.0 million with no amounts drawn as of or for the periods ending June 30, 2013 and 2012.  A commitment fee is payable quarterly to the lender under the facility.  Interest on amounts outstanding is based on, at the Company’s option, the bank prime rate plus a margin of 3.0% to 6.0% or the Eurocurrency rate for one, two, three or six month periods plus a margin of 4.0% to 5.5%.  The margin is dependent on the Company’s leverage, as defined in the agreement, at the time of the borrowing.

 

Refinancing 2013

 

In June 2013, the Company refinanced its term loan debt.  The Company paid a premium on the repayment of the old term loan of $3.0 million.  In addition, the Company paid $3.4 million in underwriting fees and legal costs. The premium on repayment of debt, existing original issue discount, existing deferred financing costs, underwriting fees and legal costs were accounted for in accordance with accounting standards for modification of debt instruments with different terms.  The Company compared each syndicated lenders’ loan under the old term loan with the syndicated lenders’ loan under the new term loans.  For loans under the new term loan that were substantially different, the Company recognized the exchange of debt instruments as a debt extinguishment. For loans under the new term loan that were not substantially different, the Company accounted for the exchange of debt instruments as a modification. As a result of the refinancing, the Company deferred $2.7 million of financing related costs and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $3.7 million.

 

Refinancing 2012

 

In connection with the February 2012 refinancing of the term loan debt, the Company paid a premium on the repayment of the old term loan of $6.0 million.  In addition, the Company paid $4.1 million in underwriting fees and legal costs. The premium on repayment of debt, and underwriting fees and legal costs were accounted for in accordance with accounting standards for modification of debt instruments with different terms.  The Company compared each syndicated lenders’ loan under the old term loan with the syndicated lenders’ loan under the new term loans.  For loans under the new term loan that were substantially different, the Company recognized the exchange of debt instruments as a debt extinguishment. For loans under the new term loan that were not substantially different, the Company accounted for the exchange of debt instruments as a modification. As a result of the refinancing, the Company capitalized $5.0 million of the premium on the repayment of debt and refinancing fees and expensed the remainder resulting in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $5.1 million.

8.                                      Employee Benefit Plans

 

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan, with benefits frozen as of March 1, 2012, and postretirement health and life insurance benefits for union employees.  The Company also sponsors a cash balance pension plan for nonunion employees, with benefits frozen as of April 1, 2007, and certain management employees receive postretirement health and life insurance under grandfathered provisions of a terminated plan.

 

The Company amended its union pension plan on January 24, 2012 for the freeze of benefits effective March 1, 2012.  This resulted in a reduction of the projected benefit obligation by $30.2 million which is the difference between the accumulated benefit obligation and projected benefit obligation at that date.  The liability as of January 24, 2012 was measured using a discount rate of 4.54%.  The union pension trust assets were also measured as of this date.  The reduction in the net recorded liability of $33.4 million was used to offset actuarial losses previously recognized in the accumulated other comprehensive loss.

12.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

Collective Bargaining Agreement

The Company maintains a collective bargaining agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1357 (“IBEW”).  The agreement covers approximately half of the Company’s work force.  In December 2012, the IBEW announced their members had ratified a new collective bargaining agreement with the Company with an effective date of January 1, 2013 for a term of five years.

 

Third Party Claims

In the normal course of conducting its business, the Company is involved in various disputes with third parties, including vendors and customers.  The outcome of such disputes is generally uncertain and subject to commercial negotiations.  The Company periodically assesses its liabilities in connection with these matters and records reserves for those matters where it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated.  Based on management’s most recent assessment, the Company believes that the risk of loss in excess of liabilities recorded is not material for all outstanding claims and disputes and the ultimate outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

 

Litigation

The Company is involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business.  The outcome of this litigation is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

13.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The following method and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate the fair value.

 

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable — The carrying amount approximates the fair value.  The valuation is based on settlements of similar financial instruments all of which are short-term in nature and generally settled at or near cost.  Cash is measured as Level 1.

 

Investment securities — The fair value of investment securities is based on quoted market prices.  Investment securities are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Debt — The fair value of debt is based on the value at which the debt is trading among holders.

 

The estimated fair value of financial instruments is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value for accounting purposes is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).

 

Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

 

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis represent investment securities included in other assets.  Liabilities carried at cost with fair value disclosure on a recurring basis represent long-term debt.  A summary is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance (including our anticipated cost structure) and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continues,” “assumption” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements (including statements related to our anticipated cost structure) are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially from those anticipated or projected due to a number of factors. These factors include, but are not limited to:

 

·                  our ability to execute our strategic plan;

·                  failures in critical back-office systems and IT infrastructure;

·                  our ability to operate as a stand-alone telecommunications provider;

·                  our ability to maintain arrangements with third-party service providers;

·                  changes in regulations and legislation applicable to providers of telecommunications services;

·                  changes in demand for our products and services;

·                  technological changes affecting the telecommunications industry; and

·                  our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition.

 

These and other factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.  Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of risks that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business operations.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of issuance of these quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements, we assume no obligation to update or revise them or to provide reasons why actual results may differ.

 

We do not undertake any responsibility to release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to take into account events or circumstances that occur after the date of issuance of these quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we do not undertake any responsibility to update you on the occurrence of any unanticipated events which may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report.

Segments and Sources of Revenue

 

We operate in two reportable segments (Wireline Services and Wireless) based on how resources are allocated and performance is assessed by our chief operating decision maker.  Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer.

 

Wireline Services

The Wireline Services segment derives revenue from the following sources:

 

Local Voice Services — We receive revenue from providing local exchange telephone services.  These revenues include monthly charges for basic service, local private line services and enhanced calling features.

 

Network Access Services — We receive revenue for access to our network for wholesale carrier data, business customer data including Dedicated Internet Access, switched carrier access and subscriber line charges imposed on end users.  Switched carrier access revenue compensates us for origination, transport and termination of calls for long distance and other interexchange carriers.

 

Long Distance Services — We receive revenue from providing long distance services to our customers.

 

High-Speed Internet (“HSI”) Services — We provide HSI to our residential and business customers.

 

Video Services — Our video services marketed as Hawaiian Telcom TV is an advanced entertainment service offered to customers in select areas.

 

Equipment and managed services — We provide installation and maintenance of customer premise equipment as well as managed service for customer telephone and IT networks.

 

Wireless

The decrease in local services revenues was caused primarily by the decline of $2.0 million and $3.8 million of voice access lines for the three and six month periods, respectively. This was offset by $0.9 million and $2.0 million of revenue for the three and six month periods, respectively, from Wavecom customers acquired in December 2012.  Continued competition in the telecommunications industry has increasingly resulted in customers using technologies other than traditional phone lines for voice and data.  Residential customers are increasingly using wireless services in place of traditional wireline phone services as well as moving local voice service to VoIP technology offered by competitors.  Generally, VoIP technology offered by cable providers is less expensive than traditional wireline phone service, requiring us to respond with more competitive pricing.  Additionally, Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) and our cable competitor continue to focus on business customers and selling services to our customer base.

 

In an effort to slow the rate of line loss, we are continuing retention and acquisition programs, and are increasingly focusing efforts on bundling of services.  We have instituted various “saves” campaigns designed to focus on specific circumstances where we believe customer churn is controllable.  These campaigns include targeted offers to “at risk” customers as well as other promotional tools designed to enhance customer retention.  We are also reemphasizing win-back and employee referral programs.  Additionally, we are intensifying our efforts relative to developing tools and training to enhance our customer service capability to improve customer retention and growth.

Business data revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased when compared to the prior year period because of $1.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively, of revenue from Wavecom customers acquired in December 2012.  Wholesale carrier revenue decreased because of revenues received from Wavecom in 2012 which we no longer recognize as Wavecom is a wholly-owned subsidiary.  In addition, the impact of the decline in voice access lines is reflected in subscriber line access charges and switched carrier access charges.

 

The decrease in long distance revenue was primarily because of the decline in long distance lines and customers moving to wireless and VoIP based technologies for long distance calling.

 

HSI revenues increased when compared to the prior year primarily because an approximate 4.4% growth in our HSI subscribers as well as improved revenue per subscriber with increased bandwidth offerings.

 

On July 1, 2011, we commercially launched our video service on the island of Oahu.  We are rolling out Hawaiian Telcom TV gradually to selected areas to ensure delivery of superior service and an ongoing excellent customer experience.  Our volume is ramping up as more homes become enabled for video service.  We expect to expand both the availability and the capabilities of our Hawaiian Telcom TV service over the next several years through additional capital investment and innovation.

 

Equipment and managed services sales have increased for the quarterly period and decreased for six month period because of changes in the volume of sales and installations of customer premise equipment for certain large government customers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year.  Revenue from equipment sales varies from period to period based on the volume of large installation projects.  The volume of such projects in future periods is uncertain.

 

The increase in other wireline services revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year is because of revenue from Wavecom of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively.  In addition, business VoIP equipment usage fees amounted to $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and were negligible in the prior year periods.

 

Wireless revenues declined when compared to the same periods in the prior year as there has been a reduction in marketing effort as we focus on other products.

The Company’s total headcount as of June 30, 2013 was 1,377 compared to 1,345 as of June 30, 2012.  Employee related costs are included in both cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Cost of revenues consists of costs we incur to provide our products and services including those for operating and maintaining our networks, installing and maintaining customer premise equipment, and cost of goods sold directly associated with various products.  Costs of revenues were comparable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 relative to the same periods in the prior year.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs related to sales and marketing, information systems and other administrative functions.  The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year was because of increased wage costs of $0.8 million on higher average headcount.   The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year was because of increased gross receipts taxes of $0.9 million as there were beneficial settlements related to such taxes in the prior year.

 

We sold a parcel of land and warehouse not actively used in the Company’s operations for a purchase price, as amended, of $13.9 million.  A gain on the sale of $6.5 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2013.  The HPUC approval of the sale provides we spend $0.3 million on training employees on broadband telecommunication deployment and operation.  In addition, the HPUC approval requires the remaining proceeds be used for improvement to our broadband network.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased because of new property additions placed into service.

Interest expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily because of the lower interest rates on the refinanced debt.

 

In connection with the refinancing of debt in the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2012, we incurred charges of $3.7 million and $5.1 million, respectively, which consisted of the loss on the repayment of the old debt and certain refinancing costs.

 

Income Tax Benefit

As of December 31, 2011, we had maintained a full valuation allowance over our net deferred income tax assets.  This situation resulted from our having a short history as a new entity (post Chapter 11).  From emergence in 2010 through 2012, we have generated earnings in all periods.  As a result of our continued positive annual earnings, as well as positive forecasted earnings in the future, management concluded that it was more than likely than not that we will realize our deferred income tax assets, and therefore, we released our valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012.  If there is a decline in the level of actual future or forecasted earnings, the conclusion regarding the need for a valuation allowance may change in future periods resulting in the establishment of a valuation allowance for some or all of our deferred income tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2013, we had cash of $58.4 million. From an ongoing operating perspective, our cash requirements in 2013 consist of supporting the development and introduction of new products, capital expenditure projects, pension funding obligations and other changes in working capital.  A combination of cash-on-hand and cash generated from operating activities will be used to fund our cash requirements.

 

We have continued to take actions to conserve cash and improve liquidity.  Efforts have also been taken to generate further operating efficiencies and focus on expense management.  We have focused on improving operating results, including efforts to simplify product offerings, improve our customer service experience and increase our revenue enhancement activities.  There can be no assurance that these additional actions will result in improved overall cash flow.  We continue to have sizable retirement obligations for our existing employee base.  Any sustained declines in the value of pension trust assets or relatively high levels of pension lump sum benefit payments will increase the magnitude of future plan contributions.

 

Agreements with the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission and the debt agreements of Hawaiian Telcom Communications, Inc. limit the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to the parent company and restrict the net assets of all of our subsidiaries.  This can limit our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.  As the parent company has no operations, debt or other obligations, this restriction has no other immediate impact on our operations.

Cash Flows for Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

 

Our primary source of funds continues to be cash generated from operations.  We use the net cash generated from operations to fund network expansion and modernization.  We expect that our capital spending requirements will continue to be financed through internally generated funds.  We also expect to use cash generated in future periods for debt service.  Additional debt or equity financing may be needed to fund additional development activities or to maintain our capital structure to ensure financial flexibility.

 

Net cash provided by operations amounted to $31.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  Our cash flows from operations are impacted by our results of operations, changes in working capital and payments on certain long-term liabilities.  Net cash provided by operations amounted to $39.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease in cash provided by operations was primarily because of working capital needs during the six month ended June 30, 2013.

 

Cash used in investing activities included capital expenditures of $45.0 million and $41.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The level of capital expenditures for 2013 is expected to be slightly higher than 2012 as we invest in systems to support new product introductions and transform our network to enable next-generation technologies.

 

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 includes the impact of the 2013 and 2012 refinancing of our debt.

 

Outstanding Debt and Financing Arrangements

As of June 30, 2013, we had outstanding $300.0 million in aggregate long-term debt.  The term loan has a maturity date of June 2019.  We do not expect to generate the necessary cash flow from operations to repay the facility in its entirety by the maturity date and repayment is dependent on our ability to refinance the credit facility at reasonable terms.  The ability to refinance the indebtedness at reasonable terms before maturity cannot be assured.

 

Contractual Obligations

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company’s future contractual obligations have not changed materially from the amounts disclosed as of December 31, 2012 in our Form 10-K other than related to our new debt which obligations are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in consolidated financial statements.  Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein.  The Company’s critical accounting policies that require the use of estimates and assumptions were discussed in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and have not changed materially from that discussion.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

As of June 30, 2013, our floating rate obligations consisted of $300.0 million of debt outstanding under our term loan facility.  Accordingly, our earnings and cash flow are affected by changes in interest rates.  Based on our borrowings at June 30, 2013 and assuming a 1.0 percentage point increase in the average interest rate under these borrowings, we estimate that our annual interest expense would increase by approximately $3.0 million.
