Series 1: For the fiscal year 2012 award, vesting for the Series 1 awards is subject to a performance requirement composed of certain earnings per share or revenue growth objectives and average annual return on invested capital measured across a three year period. For the fiscal year 2013 award vesting is subject to performance requirements composed of certain objectives including average annual return on invested capital and annual compound growth rate in the Company’s diluted earnings per share. These objectives are measured quarterly using the Company’s budget, actual results and long-term projections. For each of the Series 1 awards, the expected percentage of vesting is evaluated through October 31, 2013, and reflects the percentage of shares projected to vest for the respective awards at the end of their measurement periods.

Series 2: Vesting for the Series 2 awards is subject to performance requirements pertaining to the growth rate in the Company’s basic earnings per share over a three year period. The achievement of performance requirements is measured quarterly using the Company’s budget, actual results and long-term projections. For fiscal year 2012 awards, the expected percentage of vesting is evaluated through October 31, 2013, and reflects the percentage of shares projected to vest for the respective awards at the end of their measurement periods.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of performance awards outstanding was $17.71 and $17.66 at October 31, 2013 and August 1, 2013, respectively.

Total debt			83,000				85,000
Current maturities of long-term debt			—				—
Long-term debt, net of current maturities		$	83,000			$	85,000

To finance the acquisition of the electronic chemicals business in December 2007, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement and a note purchase agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement is now with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and with Bank of America, N.A. The note purchase agreement is now with The Prudential Insurance Company of America and Pruco Life Insurance Company.

Initially, the amended and restated credit agreement included a revolving loan facility and a term loan facility. The term loan was paid off in fiscal year 2012, and that aspect of the facility has been removed. The Company amended these facilities several times, most recently in April and in May 2013 to increase the amount that may be borrowed under the revolving loan up to $110.0 million, to include an accordion feature that allows for an additional revolving loan increase of up to $25.0 million with approval from the Company’s lenders, and to extend the maturity date of the revolving loan facility to April 30, 2018, with mandatory reduction in revolving loan commitment of $10.0 million each year from September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2017 totaling $40.0 million. The matrix for the calculation of interest payable on the revolving loan facility and the method for the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio were also revised.

Table of Contents

The revolving loan bears interest at a varying rate of LIBOR plus a margin based on our funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).

 

Ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA		Margin
Equal to or greater than 2.5 to 1.0			2.25	%
Equal to or greater than 2.0 to 1.0, but less than 2.5 to 1.0			2.00	%
Equal to or greater than 1.5 to 1.0, but less than 2.0 to 1.0			1.75	%
Less than 1.5 to 1.0			1.50	%

Advances outstanding under the revolving loan bear interest at 1.67% and 1.69% as of October 31, 2013 and July 31, 2103, respectively. The amount outstanding on the revolving loan at October 31, 2013 was 63.0 million, and an additional $3.5 million is reserved for outstanding letters of credit.

The note purchase agreement is for $20.0 million. Advances under the note purchase agreement mature on December 31, 2014, and bear interest at 7.43% per annum. Principal is payable at maturity. At October 31, 2013, $20.0 million was outstanding under the note purchase agreement.

Loans under the amended and restated credit agreement and the note purchase agreement are secured by the Company’s assets, including inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, intangible assets, and real property. The credit facility and the note purchase agreement have restrictive covenants, including that the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 or below, a ratio of funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (as adjusted for extraordinary items, with lender consent) of 3.0 to 1.0 or below, and a current ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0.

11. Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the interim periods was computed using the effective tax rate based on the application of an estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to year-to-date income before income tax expense. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, we analyze various factors, including forecasts of projected annual earnings and the ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carry forwards. The overall effective income tax rate for the three month period ended October 31, 2013 was 34.9%. For the three months ended October 31, 2012, the effective rate for continuing operations was 36.7%. In general, differences between these effective tax rates and the rate of 35.0% are primarily due to foreign and state income taxes.

12. Litigation and Other Contingencies

The Company is subject to contingencies, including litigation relating to environmental laws and regulations, commercial disputes and other matters. Certain of these contingencies are discussed below. The ultimate resolution of these contingencies is subject to significant uncertainty, and should the Company fail to prevail in any of them or should several of them be resolved against the Company in the same reporting period, these matters could, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the consolidated financial statements. The ultimate outcome of these matters, however, cannot be determined at this time, nor can the amount of any potential loss be reasonably estimated, and as a result except where indicated no amounts have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

A lawsuit was filed against the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, KMG de Mexico, relating to the title to the land on which its facility in Matamoros is located. The plaintiffs claim that their title to the land is superior to the person from whom our subsidiary bought the land. The plaintiffs are seeking to have our subsidiary’s purchase overturned, and to recover the land and certain improvements or their value. The lawsuit was initially filed in 1998 in Matamoros, Mexico under Adolfo Cazares Rosas, et al vs. KMG de Mexico and Guillermo Villarreal. In January 2008, the case was sent by the appeals court back to the lower court to obtain additional factual information, and on April 20, 2009 the plaintiffs were required to re-file the case in the First Civil Court in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico as Adolfo Cazares, Luis Escudero and Juan Cue vs. KMG de Mexico and Guillermo Villarreal. In June 2011 the lower court ruled against KMG de Mexico, and held that the plaintiffs had superior title to the land, but that verdict was overturned on appeal in May 2012, and the case will be returned to the trial court for further action. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend KMG de Mexico.

The Company’s subsidiary in Italy has filed suit with the Provincial Tax Court in Milan, Italy to contest assessments by the taxing authority in Italy pertaining to the three year period ended July 31, 2011. In the aggregate, the amount of the assessments, including interest and penalties, is €1.7 million. If all the adjustments are sustained, the additional liability for the years 2009 through 2011 would total approximately $2.3 million, including interest and penalties through October 31, 2013 (at an exchange rate of 1.364 $/€). The Company recorded a liability for an uncertain tax position for items in the amount of $437,000. The Company intends to vigorously pursue its position before the court, but the ultimate outcome of this litigation is subject to uncertainty.

The Company’s subsidiary in Italy plans to file suit in Provincial Court in Milan, Italy to contest the assessment of additional registration tax against the Company’s subsidiary in Italy based on an increased valuation of assets purchased from Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. in December 2007. The amount of the assessment, including interest and penalties through October 31, 2013, is €778,000 (or approximately $1.1 million, at an exchange rate of 1.364 $/€). The ultimate outcome of this assessment is subject to uncertainty.

The Company and OM Group dispute the proper calculation of the post-closing, working capital adjustment to the purchase price for the UPC subsidiaries. Each company asserts that the other owes it approximately $700,000. The parties are continuing to negotiate to resolve the dispute, but no resolution has yet been reached.

The Company is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations and potential liabilities relating to the protection of the environment and human health and safety including, among other things, the cleanup of contaminated sites, the treatment, storage and disposal of wastes, the emission of substances into the air or waterways, and various health and safety matters. The Company expects to incur substantial costs for ongoing compliance with such laws and regulations. The Company may also face governmental or third-party claims, or otherwise incur costs, relating to cleanup of, or for injuries resulting from, contamination at sites associated with past and present operations. The Company accrues for environmental liabilities when a determination can be made that they are probable and reasonably estimable.

13. Restructuring Events

In October 2013, the Company announced that as part of global restructuring of its electronic chemicals operations, the Fremont, California manufacturing site acquired in the acquisition from OM Group will be closed, and production shifted primarily to the Company’s Hollister, California and Pueblo, Colorado facilities. In November 2013, the Company announced that it will close its manufacturing facility in Milan, Italy, and shift production to facilities in France and the United Kingdom. The Company will continue to operate the warehouse facility in Milan.

 

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We manufacture, formulate and distribute specialty chemicals globally. We operate businesses engaged in electronic chemicals and industrial wood treating chemicals. Our electronic chemicals are sold to the semiconductor industry, where they are used primarily to clean and etch silicon wafers in the production of semiconductors. Our wood treating chemicals, pentachlorophenol (“penta”) and creosote are used by our industrial customers primarily to extend the useful life of utility poles and railroad crossties.

Acquisition

We completed our acquisition of the ultra pure chemicals (“UPC”) business subsidiaries of OM Group, Inc., in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. The purchase price was for $62.6 million. The UPC subsidiaries sell high purity, wet process chemicals to the semiconductor industry.

In October 2013, we announced that as part of global restructuring of our electronic chemicals operations, we will close our Fremont, California manufacturing site acquired in the UPC acquisition, and shift production primarily to our Hollister, California and Pueblo, Colorado facilities. In November 2013, we announced that we will close our manufacturing facility in Milan, Italy, and shift production to our facilities in France and the United Kingdom. We will continue to operate our warehouse facility in Milan. Total costs related to restructuring accrued for the three months ended October 31, 2013 was approximately $47,000.

Results of Operations

Three Month Period Ended October 31, 2013 compared with Three Month Period Ended October 31, 2012

Segment Net Sales

Segment data is presented for our two reportable segments for the three month periods ended October 31, 2013 and 2012. The segment data should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

 

		Three Months Ended October 31,
		2013				2012
		(Amounts in thousands)
Sales
Electronic chemicals		$	64,452			$	39,507
Wood treating chemicals			29,064				25,700
Total sales for reportable segments		$	93,516			$	65,207

Net Sales

Net sales for reportable segments increased $28.3 million, or 43.4%, to $93.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to $65.2 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase for the quarter was due primarily to increased sales in electronic chemicals from the acquisition of the UPC business subsidiaries that was consummated in May 2013.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the electronic chemicals segment had net sales of $64.5 million, an increase of $24.9 million, or 63.1%, as compared to $39.5 million for the prior year period. First quarter sales for the fiscal year 2014 decreased from the prior year in our legacy electronic chemicals business by about $400,000, and the increase in net sales was attributable to the UPC acquisition.

Net sales of wood treating chemicals increased $3.4 million, or 13.1%, to $29.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to $25.7 million for the prior year period. The increase in first quarter sales reflected greater creosote shipments. Although our creosote volume improved in the first quarter, market demand for creosote remains depressed as customers pre-treat railroad ties with boron solutions to increase the service life of the crosstie, while reducing the amount of creosote needed to treat the tie. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, many customers accelerated the adoption of that practice as a way to hold down costs. Penta product sales declined approximately $600,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the particularly strong sales in the prior year period.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by $5.5 million, or 27.3%, to $25.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 from $20.1 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in aggregate gross profit for the quarter was due to sales from the UPC acquisition, despite a 10% decline in gross profits in our legacy businesses due to lower margins. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 27.3% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 from 30.7% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The decline in gross profits as a percentage of sales was due about equally to lower margins in both the wood treating chemicals segment and in legacy electronic chemicals. Margins were adversely impacted in the wood treating segment, as customers benefited from volume-based discounts on long-term supply arrangements.

Other companies may include certain of the costs that we record in cost of sales as distribution expenses or selling, general and administrative expenses, and may include certain of the costs that we record in distribution expenses or selling, general and administrative expenses as a component of cost of sales, resulting in a lack of comparability between our gross profit and that reported by other companies.

Distribution Expenses

Distribution expenses were up by $5.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 from $7.1 million in the prior year period, a 71.7% increase. Distribution expenses were approximately 12.9% and 10.8% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively. Distribution expense is heavily concentrated in our electronic chemicals business, and the increase in that expense reflects greater volume shipments stemming from UPC-related sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $4.5 million, or 75.3%, to $10.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 from $5.9 million in the same quarter of fiscal year 2013. Those expenses were 11.1% and 9.1% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively. We incurred an increase of approximately $960,000 in the current quarter for audit, tax and other professional services over the prior year period. We also incurred $500,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 for integration expenses for our UPC acquisition, $1.1 million of stock-based compensation expense for the equity award to Christopher T. Fraser upon becoming our full-time CEO, and $430,000 in other employee related costs. The remainder of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 is attributable to the acquired UPC business. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we incurred $577,000 of expense for the UPC acquisition we were then pursuing.

Segment Income from Operations

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, operating income in the electronic chemicals segment was $3.3 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 34.2%, as compared to $5.1 million for the prior year period. The decrease in operating income was due to a $1.6 million decline in operating profits in our legacy electronic chemicals business from lesser volume and lower margins, and from approximately $500,000 in integration expense.

In our wood treating chemicals segment, operating income decreased approximately $860,000, or 25.6%, to $2.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to $3.4 million for the prior year period. The decrease in operating income was due to lower volume and margins on penta products.

Other corporate expense primarily represents employee stock-based compensation expenses and those public entity expenses such as board compensation, audit expense, fees related to the listing of our stock, and expenses incurred to pursue potential acquisition opportunities. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, other corporate expense was $2.8 million, an increase of $1.5 million, as compared to $1.3 million for the prior year period. In fiscal year 2014, we incurred approximately $1.3 million in expenses associated with hiring Christopher T. Fraser as our full-time CEO on September 24, 2013, including $1.1 million for an equity award to Mr. Fraser. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we incurred other corporate expenses of $577,000 associated with the UPC acquisition we were then pursuing. As we follow our strategy, we expect to incur such expenses in future periods. The amount and timing of such expenses, however, are difficult to predict with certainty as they vary with the availability of appropriate opportunities.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense was $663,000 and $411,000 in the first quarter of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in the period was due to greater borrowings on our loan facilities in fiscal year 2014 as compared to the same period of the prior year, because of the loan increase in our facility to consummate our UPC acquisition.

Income Taxes

The overall effective income tax rate for the three month period ended October 31, 2013 was 34.9%. For the three months ended October 31, 2012, the effective rate for continuing operations was 36.7%.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations reflected a loss before income taxes of $102,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Those costs related to the animal health business that was discontinued in March 2012, and to dismantling equipment relating to the agricultural chemicals business that was discontinued in fiscal year 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

For the three months ended October 31, 2013, operating cash flows were favorably impacted by a decrease in inventories of $4.9 million and increase in accrued liabilities of $2.1 million. The reduction in inventories was mainly from our wood treating segment due to the timing of creosote purchases, along with an increase in creosote sales in the three months ended October 31, 2013 as compared to the end of fiscal year 2013. Accrued liabilities increased primarily from a higher bonus accrual and to a lesser extent from an increase in other professional services. Operating cash flows were unfavorably impacted by a decrease in accounts payable of $9.8 million primarily in connection with our wood treating segment from the timing of payments for creosote purchases.

Working Capital

We have a revolving line of credit under an amended and restated credit agreement. At October 31, 2013, we had $63.0 million outstanding under the revolving facility, and an additional $3.5 million is reserved for outstanding letters of credit, with up to an additional $43.5 million of additional borrowing capacity. However, the amount that may be borrowed under the revolving facility is limited by covenants to funded debt to pro-forma earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (“EBITDA”), and at October 31, 2013 that limitation restricted our borrowing capacity to $14.4 million. Management believes that our current credit facility, combined with cash flows from operations, will adequately provide for our working capital needs for current operations for the next twelve months.

Long Term Debt

To finance the acquisition of the electronic chemicals business in December 2007, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement and a note purchase agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement is now with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and with Bank of America, N.A. The note purchase agreement is now with The Prudential Insurance Company of America and Pruco Life Insurance Company.

Initially, the amended and restated credit agreement included a revolving loan facility and a term loan facility. The term loan was paid off in fiscal year 2012, and that aspect of the facility has been removed. We amended these facilities and the note purchase agreement several times, most recently in April and in May 2013 to increase the amount that may be borrowed under the revolving loan up to $110.0 million, to include an accordion feature that allows for an additional revolving loan increase of up to $25.0 million with approval from the Company’s lenders, and to extend the maturity date to April 30, 2018. The matrix for the calculation of interest payable on the revolving loan facility and the method for the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio were also revised.

The revolving loan matures April 30, 2018, and bears interest at a varying rate of LIBOR plus a margin based on our funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as described below.

 

Ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA		Margin
Equal to or greater than 2.5 to 1.0			2.25	%
Equal to or greater than 2.0 to 1.0, but less than 2.5 to 1.0			2.00	%
Equal to or greater than 1.5 to 1.0, but less than 2.0 to 1.0			1.75	%
Less than 1.5 to 1.0			1.50	%

Advances under the revolving loan bear interest at 1.67% and 1.69% as of October 31, 2013 and July 31, 2013, respectively. At October 31, 2013, $63.0 million was outstanding on the revolving facility, and an additional $3.5 million is reserved for outstanding letters of credit.

The note purchase agreement is for $20.0 million. Advances under the note purchase agreement mature on December 31, 2014, and bear interest at 7.43% per annum. Principal is payable at maturity. At October 31, 2013, $20.0 million was outstanding under the note purchase agreement.

Loans under the amended and restated credit agreement and the note purchase agreement are secured by our assets, including stock in subsidiary inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, intangible assets and real property. The credit facility and the note purchase agreement have restrictive covenants, including that we must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0, a ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (as adjusted for extraordinary items, with lender consent) of no more than 3.0 to 1.0, and a current ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0. On October 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, such as financing or unconsolidated variable interest entities, other than operating leases.

Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements

We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect us and to take advantage of the “safe harbor” protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities law affords. From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our company. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our operations. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this report that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures, business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, growth of our business and operations, plans and references to future successes may be considered forward-looking statements. Also, when we use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” “budget,” “goal,” “expect,” “probably” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Many risks and uncertainties may impact the matters addressed in these forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and we will not update forward-looking statements unless the securities laws require us to do so.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business, arising primarily from changes in interest rates and to a lesser extent foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Generally we do not utilize derivative financial instruments or hedging transactions to manage that risk. Our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk is discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013. There has been no material change in that information.

 

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
