NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2015, 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, 2015.

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 November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17 (Topic 740), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent in the Balance Sheet. The standard will be effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The ASU may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company adopted this ASU on a prospective basis in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016. The change in accounting principles does not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flow or stockholders’ equity.

2. Acquisitions

On May 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Valves Incorporated of Texas, a privately held Texas corporation, pursuant to the terms of a previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger. The acquired company manufactures and distributes industrial sealants and lubricants, primarily to the oil and gas, storage, pipeline and gas distribution markets, as well as related products, such as lubrication equipment and fittings. As of January 31, 2016, the valuation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is not final. The pro forma impact on consolidated results is immaterial.

3. 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

4. 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 198,000 and 183,000 dilutive shares related to stock-based awards for the three and six

 

7


months ended January 31, 2016, respectively. There were approximately 90,000 and 64,000 dilutive shares related to stock-based awards for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, respectively.

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 14,000 potentially dilutive securities that were not included for the three months and six months ended January 31, 2016. There were no shares of potentially dilutive securities not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015.

Series 1: For the fiscal year 2016, 2015 and 2014 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 assessed 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 January 31, 2016, and reflects the percentage of shares projected to vest for the respective awards at the end of their measurement periods. For the fiscal year 2016, 2015 and 2014 awards, shares vested may increase to a maximum of 200%, 167% and 150%, respectively, of the target award on achievement of maximum performance objectives.
