NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2014, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting. As permitted under those requirements, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2014.

These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using certain estimates by management and include the accounts of KMG Chemicals, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU No. 2014-08”). ASU No. 2014-08 limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: a) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; b) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; or c) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale. ASU No. 2014-08 also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2014-08 for the reporting period beginning November 1, 2014. As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2014-08, results of operations for disposals in the ordinary course of business on or subsequent to November 1, 2014 would generally be included in continuing operations on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, to the extent such disposals did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. Additionally, any gain or loss on disposals that do not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation would be included in income from continuing operations on the consolidated statements of operations.

2. Disposition of Business

On January 16, 2015, the Company sold its creosote distribution business, part of the wood treating chemicals segment, to Koppers Inc. pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. The transaction closed concurrently with the signing of the asset purchase agreement. Assets that were sold in the transaction included the Company’s United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) registrations for creosote, creosote inventory, railcar and tank terminal leases and various customer agreements. The adjusted sale price for the assets was approximately $14.9 million.

The following table summarizes the cost of assets sold in conjunction with the sale of the creosote distribution business (in thousands):

The Company allocated goodwill of approximately $662,000 within the wood treating segment to the sale of the creosote distribution business. The Company recognized a gain of $5.4 million on the sale of the creosote distribution business, net of closing and other transaction expenses.

3. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common shares. There were approximately 139,000 and approximately 89,000 dilutive shares related to stock-based awards for the

three and nine months ended April 30, 2015. There were approximately 39,000 dilutive shares related to stock-based award for the three months ended April 30, 2014. Potentially dilutive shares are not included in the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding due to a loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2014.

Outstanding stock-based awards are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method if including them would be anti-dilutive. There were no such potentially dilutive securities that were not included for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2015. There were no shares of potentially dilutive securities not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended April 30, 2014. There were an average of approximately 21,000 shares of potentially dilutive securities not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended April 30, 2014.

The percentage vesting for performance share awards is currently estimated at 154%, 100% and 0% of the target award for the fiscal year 2015, 2014 and 2013 awards, respectively.

(2)

Forfeitures include Series 1 awards that were granted in fiscal years 2014 and 2013 to certain employees that were forfeited at the termination of their employment.

Series 1: For the fiscal year 2015, 2014 and 2013 awards, 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 April 30, 2015, and reflects the percentage of shares projected to vest for the respective awards at the end of their measurement periods. For the fiscal year 2015 and 2014 awards, shares vested may increase to a maximum of 167% and 150%, respectively, of the target award on achievement of maximum performance objectives. For the fiscal year 2013 awards, the target award is equal to the maximum award.

Series 2: None outstanding.

Series 3: The table does not include certain performance-based awards to be granted to Christopher T. Fraser according to his employment agreement as of September 24, 2013. Awards to Mr. Fraser for fiscal year 2015 included (i) a performance-based Series 3 award for 10,000 shares of common stock (at maximum) having performance requirement related to debt payments during fiscal year 2015, and (ii) a performance-based Series 3 award for 4,000 shares of common stock having certain organizational objectives as a performance requirement, and in each case such awards vest and are measured over a one year period beginning August 1, 2014 and ending July 31, 2015. As of April 30, 2015, the Series 3 awards to Mr. Fraser are expected to vest at 100%.

The weighted-average per share grant-date fair value of target award shares for performance awards outstanding was $17.47 and $14.88 at April 30, 2015 and August 1, 2014, respectively.

The weighted-average per share grant-date fair value of the target award shares for performance-based awards granted during the nine months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was $18.92 and $14.88, respectively.
