Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(1)                     Basis of Presentation

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of UFP Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) presented herein, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, and 2013 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, the Company permitted the exercise of stock options with exercise proceeds paid with the Company’s stock (“cashless” exercises) totaling approximately $352,000 and $0, respectively.

 

(3)                     Fair Value Accounting

 

The Company has financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, which are stated at carrying amounts that approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.  The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the debt approximates the estimated borrowing rate currently available to the Company.

 

(4)                     Share-Based Compensation

 

Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

 

The Company issues share-based payments through several plans that are described in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The compensation cost charged against income for those plans is included in selling, general & administrative expenses as follows (in thousands):

Share-based compensation for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 includes approximately $122,000 and $60,000, respectively, representing the fair value of the Company’s common stock granted during the quarter to the Board of Directors.  Share-based compensation for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 includes approximately $127,000 and $60,000, respectively, representing the fair value of the Company’s common stock granted during the period to the Board of Directors.

 

The total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income for share-based compensation arrangements was approximately $145,000 and $106,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively, and $215,000 and $157,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

On March 12, 2014, the Company granted one of its directors options to purchase 577 shares of its common stock at that day’s closing price of $25.48.  On June 11, 2014, the Company granted options to certain employees and directors for the purchase of 15,000 shares and 14,616 shares, respectively, of common stock at that day’s closing price of $25.04.  The compensation expense related to these grants was determined as the fair value of the options using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:

 

Expected volatility

32.8% to 37.9%

Expected dividends

None

Risk free interest rate

0.7% to 0.8%

Expected term

3.8 to 5.0 years

 

The stock volatility for each grant is determined based on a review of the experience of the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s common stock over the expected option term, and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was $7.47.

 

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, the total intrinsic value of all options exercised (i.e., the difference between the market price on the exercise date and the price paid by the employees to exercise the options) was approximately $3.4 million and $155,000, respectively, and the total amount of consideration received by the Company from the exercised options was approximately $675,000 and $65,000,

respectively.  At its discretion, the Company allows option holders to surrender previously owned common stock in lieu of paying the exercise price and withholding taxes. During the six-months ended June 30, 2014, 31,310 shares (14,077 for options and 17,233 for taxes) were surrendered at an average market price of $25.47.

 

During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, the Company recognized compensation expenses related to stock options granted to directors and employees of approximately $172,000 and $100,000, respectively.  During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, the Company recognized compensation expenses related to stock options granted to directors and employees of approximately $267,000 and $125,000, respectively.

 

On February 18, 2014, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the award of $400,000, payable in shares of common stock to the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President under the 2003 Incentive Plan.  The shares will be issued on or before December 31, 2014.  The Company recorded compensation expense associated with the award of $100,000 and $200,000, respectively, during both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

At the Company’s discretion, RSU holders are given the option to net-share settle to cover the required minimum withholding tax, and the remaining amount is converted into the equivalent number of common shares.  During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 9,878 and 22,089 shares were surrendered at an average market price of $25.88 and $19.29, respectively.

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock options, when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related options during the period. These outstanding stock awards are not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the effect would have been antidilutive.  For both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share was 30,193. For both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share was 77,362.

 

(8)                     Segment Reporting

 

The Company is organized based on the nature of the products and services that it offers. Under this structure, the Company produces products within two distinct segments: Component Products and Packaging. Within the Component Products segment, the Company primarily uses cross-linked polyethylene foam to provide customers in the medical, aerospace and defense, automotive, and packaging markets with engineered products for numerous purposes. Within the Packaging segment, the Company primarily uses polyethylene and polyurethane foams, sheet plastics, and pulp fiber to provide customers with cushion packaging for their products.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on operating income.

 

Inter-segment transactions are uncommon and not material.  Therefore, they have not been reflected separately in the financial table below.  Revenues from customers outside of the United States are not material.  No customer comprised more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014.  All of the Company’s assets are located in the United States.  Unallocated assets consist of the Company’s cash balance and unallocated operating income consists of restructuring costs. Financial statement information by reportable segment is as follows (in thousands):

(10)              Income Taxes

 

The income tax expense included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of income principally relates to the Company’s proportionate share of the pre-tax income of its majority-owned subsidiaries.  The determination of income tax expense for interim reporting purposes is based upon the estimated effective tax rate for the year, adjusted for the impact of any discrete items which are accounted for in the period in which they occur.

 

The Company recorded a tax expense of approximately 35.0% of income before income tax expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The Company recorded a tax expense of approximately 35.0% of income before income tax expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to a tax expense of approximately 33.2% for the comparable six-month period in 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate was a result of a retroactive application for a 2012 research and development credit which was recorded as a discrete event in the first quarter of 2013. Excluding this discrete event, the effective tax rate for the six- months ended June 30, 2013 was also approximately 35.0%.

 

(11)              Plant Consolidation

 

On January 7, 2014, the Company committed to move forward with a plan to cease operations at its Glendale Heights, Illinois plant and consolidate operations into its Grand Rapids, Michigan, facility. The Company’s decision was in response to a pending significant increase in lease cost, declining sales at the Illinois facility, and significant anticipated savings as a result of the consolidation.

 

The Company expects to incur approximately $1,150,000 in one-time expenses in connection with the consolidation, and to invest approximately $300,000 in building improvements in Grand Rapids. Included in the $1,150,000 amount above are approximately $350,000 of expenses the Company expects to incur relating to employee severance payments, approximately $550,000 in moving expenses and expenses associated with vacating the Glendale Heights building, and approximately $250,000 in expenses in moving equipment within the Grand Rapids location. Total cash charges are estimated at $1,450,000. The Company expects annual cost savings of approximately $750,000 as a result of the plant consolidation.

 

The Company has recorded the following restructuring costs associated with the plant consolidation for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 (in thousands):

Plant Consolidation

 

On July 16, 2014, the Company committed to move forward with a plan to cease operations at its Costa Mesa, California plant and consolidate operations into its Rancho Dominguez, California facility and other UFP facilities. The Company’s decision was in response to the December 31, 2014 expiration of the lease on the Costa Mesa facility as well as the close proximity of the two properties. The Company expects the activities related to this consolidation to be completed on or before December 31, 2014.

 

The Company expects to incur approximately $535,000 in one-time expenses in connection with the consolidation. Included in the $535,000 amount above are approximately $50,000 of expenses the Company expects to incur relating to employee severance payments, approximately $465,000 in moving expenses and expenses associated with vacating the Costa Mesa property and approximately $20,000 in expenses in moving equipment within the Rancho Dominguez location. The Company does not expect to incur any lease separation costs as the completion of the move is expected to coincide with the expiration of the Costa Mesa lease. Total cash charges are estimated at $535,000. The Company expects annual cost savings of approximately $550,000 as a result of the plant consolidation.

 

Building Purchase

 

On July 1, 2014, the Company completed the purchase of a new facility in El Paso, Texas, for approximately $3.0 million.  The Company plans for the new facility to house the Company’s current Texas foam and medical packaging business and to provide capacity to expand its molded fiber operations.  The expansion will include two additional manufacturing lines that are expected to be operational by the first quarter of 2015.

Overview

 

Using foams, plastics, composites, and natural fiber materials, UFP Technologies designs and manufactures a vast range of solutions primarily for the medical, aerospace and defense, automotive, and packaging markets.

 

The Company realized a 1.3% decrease in year-to-date sales through June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, largely due to a 19% reduction in sales to the aerospace and defense market due to continued cuts in government spending. This decline in sales, combined with higher overhead costs and approximately $324,000 in restructuring costs resulted in a 21.2% decrease in operating income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.  The Company anticipates improved sales to the aerospace and defense market in the second half of 2014 based on customer forecasts but also expects to incur additional restructuring charges associated with the previously announced plant consolidations in the Midwest and in California.

The Company’s current strategy includes organic growth and growth through strategic acquisitions.

 

Results of Operations

 

Sales

 

Sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, decreased approximately 5.0% to $34.0 million from sales of $35.8 million for the same period in 2013.  Sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, decreased approximately 1.3% to $68.6 million from sales of $69.5 million for the same period in 2013.  The decrease in sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, is primarily due to a 25.1% sales decline in the aerospace and defense market (both segments) due to continued cuts in government spending and a 16.2% decline in sales to the automotive market (Component Products segment) due largely to customer plant shutdowns.  The decrease in sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, is primarily due to a 19.2% sales decline in the aerospace and defense market (both segments) due to continued cuts in government spending partially offset by a 9.1% increase in sales of molded fiber packaging (Packaging segment) due to continued demand for environmentally friendly packaging and the Company’s recent addition of production capacity.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit as a percentage of sales (“gross margin”) decreased to 27.9% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, from 29.9% for the same period in 2013.  This decrease is primarily due to the impact of the sales decrease discussed above measured against fixed overhead, higher depreciation costs and increased employee health care costs. As a percentage of sales, material, and labor collectively declined 0.2% while overhead increased 2.3% (both segments).

 

Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 27.1% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, from 28.2% in the same period of 2013.  This decrease is primarily due to the impact of the sales decrease discussed above measured against fixed overhead, higher depreciation costs and increased employee health care costs.  As a percentage of sales, material, and labor collectively declined 0.4% while overhead increased 1.5% (both segments).

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased approximately 6.4% to $6.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, from $6.1 million for the same period in 2013.  SG&A increased approximately 2.2% to $12.3 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, from $12.0 million in the same period in 2013.  The increase in SG&A for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to higher depreciation costs of approximately $55,000 largely associated with the Company’s new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) software system, increased bad debt expense of approximately $90,000 largely due to one large account write-off and increased director compensation of approximately $125,000. The slight increase for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to higher depreciation costs of approximately $100,000 largely associated with the Company’s new ERP software system, increased compensation and benefits of approximately $330,000 and increased director compensation of approximately $135,000, partially offset by a reduction of approximately $250,000 in professional fees.

 

Restructuring Costs

 

On January 7, 2014, the Company committed to move forward with a plan to cease operations at its Glendale Heights, Illinois, plant and consolidate operations into its Grand Rapids, Michigan, facility. The Company’s decision was in response to a pending significant increase in lease cost, declining sales at the Illinois facility, and significant anticipated savings as a result of the consolidation.

 

The Company expects to incur approximately $1,150,000 in one-time expenses in connection with the consolidation, and to invest approximately $300,000 in building improvements in Grand Rapids. Included in the $1,150,000 amount above are approximately $350,000 of expenses the Company expects to incur relating to employee severance payments, approximately $550,000 in moving expenses and expenses associated with vacating the Glendale Heights building, and approximately $250,000 in expenses in moving equipment within the Grand Rapids location. Total cash charges are estimated at $1,450,000. The Company expects annual cost savings of approximately $750,000 as a result of the plant consolidation.

The Company also incurred approximately $131,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, in related capital improvements at its Grand Rapids facility.

 

Interest Expense

 

The Company had net interest expense of approximately $27,000 and $48,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to net interest expense of approximately $45,000 and $85,000, respectively, in the same periods of 2013.  The decrease in interest expense in both periods, is primarily due to a lower average debt balance as a result of the Company’s repayment of term loans in conjunction with the execution of a new revolving credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 35.0% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 35.0% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to an effective tax rate of approximately 33.2% for the comparable six-month period in 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate in the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was a result of a retroactive application for a 2012 research and development credit which was recorded as a discrete event in the first quarter of 2013. Excluding this discrete event, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was also approximately 35.0%.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company generally funds its operating expenses, capital requirements, and growth plan through internally generated cash and bank credit facilities.

 

Cash Flows

 

Net cash provided by operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, was approximately $1.9 million, and was primarily a result of net income generated of approximately $3.9 million, an increase in refundable income taxes of approximately $0.7 million and an increase in accounts payable of approximately $1.1 million due to the timing of vendor payments in the ordinary course of business.  These cash inflows were partially offset by an increase in inventory of approximately $2.4 million due to the timing of raw materials purchases and customer shipments, an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $1.0 million primarily due to the prepayment of insurance premiums and a decrease in accrued expenses of approximately $1.4 million due to payments for 2013 year-end bonuses, annual profit sharing contributions and sales commissions.

 

Net cash used in investing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $7.3 million and was primarily the result of additions of manufacturing machinery and equipment and an escrow deposit made with respect to the Company’s recent purchase of a new manufacturing facility in Texas.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $30,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, representing cash used to service term debt of approximately $480,000 and to pay statutory withholding for stock options exercised and restricted stock units vested of approximately $700,000, partially offset by excess tax benefits on share-based compensation of approximately $830,000 and net proceeds received upon stock option exercises of approximately $320,000.

Outstanding and Available Debt

 

The Company maintains an unsecured $40 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. The credit facility calls for interest of LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.0% to 1.5% or, at the discretion of the Company, the bank’s prime rate less a margin that ranges from 0.25% to zero. In both cases the applicable margin is dependent upon Company performance. Under the credit facility, the Company is subject to a minimum fixed-charge coverage financial covenant as well as a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA financial covenant. The Company’s $40 million credit facility matures on November 30, 2018.

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility and the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility.

 

In 2012, the Company financed the purchase of two molded fiber machines through five-year term loans that mature in September 2017.  The annual interest rate is fixed at 1.83% and the loans are secured by the related molded fiber machines. As of June 30, 2014, the outstanding balance of the term loan facility was approximately $3.4 million.

 

Future Liquidity

 

The Company requires cash to pay its operating expenses, purchase capital equipment, and to service its contractual obligations.  The Company’s principal sources of funds are its operations and its revolving credit facility.  The Company generated cash of approximately $1.9 million in operations during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, and cannot guarantee that its operations will generate cash in future periods.  The Company’s longer-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance.

 

Throughout fiscal 2014, the Company plans to continue to add capacity to enhance operating efficiencies in its manufacturing plants.  The Company may consider additional acquisitions of companies, technologies, or products that are complementary to its business.  The Company believes that its existing resources, including its revolving credit facility, together with cash expected to be generated from operations and funds expected to be available to it through any necessary equipment financings and additional bank borrowings, will be sufficient to fund its cash flow requirements, including capital asset acquisitions, through the next twelve months.
