The $291.5 million outstanding borrowings value approximated the fair value at December 31, 2019 based upon interest rates available to the Company as evidenced by debt of other companies with similar credit characteristics. Our effective interest rate on the debt outstanding as of December 31, 2019 was 2.66%. The effective interest rate is comprised of the 1-month LIBOR plus a margin of 87.5 basis points as determined by our leverage ratio calculation.

The Company maintains approximately $32.9 million in letters of credit. These letters of credit are required by the Company’s fronting insurance companies and/or certain states, due to the Company’s self-insured status, to secure various workers’ compensation and casualty insurance contracts coverage. The Company believes that it has adequate liquid assets, funding sources and insurance accruals to accommodate such claims.

In order to comply with applicable debt covenants, the Company is required to maintain at all times a Leverage Ratio of not greater than 3.00:1.00. The Leverage ratio is calculated as of the last day of the fiscal quarter most recently ended. The Company remained in compliance with applicable debt covenants at December 31, 2019 and expects to maintain compliance throughout 2020.
