NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Business Description

 

Omega Protein Corporation (the “Company”) is a nutritional products company that develops, produces and delivers products throughout the world to improve the nutritional integrity of foods, dietary supplements and animal feeds. The Company operates through two industry segments: animal nutrition and human nutrition.

 

The animal nutrition segment is comprised primarily of two subsidiaries: Omega Protein, Inc. (“Omega Protein”) and Omega Shipyard, Inc. (“Omega Shipyard”). Omega Protein, the Company’s principal operating subsidiary, is the successor to a business conducted since 1913. Omega Protein produces and markets a variety of products produced from menhaden (a herring-like species of fish found in commercial quantities in the U.S. coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico), including specialty fish meal, crude and refined fish oils and fish solubles. Omega Protein’s fish meal products are primarily used as a protein ingredient in animal feed for swine, aquaculture and household pets. Fish oil is used primarily for animal and aquaculture feeds, as well as additives to human food products and dietary supplements. Omega Protein’s fish solubles are sold primarily to bait manufactures and for use as an organic fertilizer. Omega Protein’s business is seasonal in nature and generally has higher revenues during the third quarter of each fiscal year. A portion of Omega Protein’s production is transferred to the human nutrition segment where it is further processed and sold. Omega Shipyard owns and operates a drydock facility in Moss Point, Mississippi that is used to provide shoreside maintenance for Omega Protein’s fishing fleet.

 

The human nutrition segment operates under the “tera’s®” branded product and “Bioriginal” names. Bioriginal has three primary product lines: specialty oils, protein products and other nutraceutical ingredients. Bioriginal is comprised primarily of four subsidiaries: Bioriginal Food & Science Corp. (“Bioriginal Food & Science”), Wisconsin Specialty Protein, L.L.C. (“WSP”), Cyvex Nutrition, Inc. (“Cyvex”) and InCon Processing, L.L.C. (“InCon”). Bioriginal Food & Science, acquired by the Company in September 2014 and headquartered in Saskatoon, Canada with additional operations in the Netherlands, is a supplier of plant and marine based specialty oils to the food and nutraceutical industries. WSP, acquired by the Company in February 2013, is a manufacturer and marketer of specialty dairy proteins and other related products headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin and operates a production facility in Reedsburg, Wisconsin. Cyvex is located in Irvine, California and is a supplier for the food and nutraceutical industries. InCon is located in Batavia, Illinois and is a specialty processor that utilizes molecular distillation technology to purify and concentrate Omega-3 fish oils and, subject to outside demand and excess capacity, a variety of other compound products for third-party tolling customers. In March 2016, as part of its strategy to focus on non-concentrated omega-3 oils instead of concentrated omega-3 oils, the Company decided to exit its Batavia, Illinois oil concentration facility and relocate certain assets from this facility to other Company facilities. Subsequent to that decision and during the second quarter of 2016 the Company received a non-binding offer to purchase certain assets at the Batavia facility and began negotiations with a potential buyer to sell those assets. As of August 3, 2016, those negotiations are still in progress. For additional information related to the closure of the Batavia facility, see Note 2 – Plant Closures.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally provided have been omitted. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The year end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2016, and the results of its operations for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and its cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Quarterly operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.  ASU 2016-13 was issued to provide more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and changes the loss impairment methodology. ASU No. 2016-13 will be effective for us as of January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective adoption method. The impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and related disclosures.

 

On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation.  ASU 2016-09 was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and affects all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. ASU 2016-09 covers accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-09 will be effective for us as of January 1, 2017. The Company is currently reviewing the effect of ASU No. 2016-09 on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which is intended to improve the reporting of leasing transactions to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. ASU 2016-02 will require organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and related disclosures.

Foreign Currency Translations

 

All amounts are expressed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated. The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency of Bioriginal Food & Science’s Canadian-based subsidiaries (“Bioriginal Food & Science Canada”). Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at rates of exchange in effect when the assets were acquired or obligations incurred. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect in the period of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

The Euro is the functional currency of Bioriginal Food & Science’s Netherlands-based subsidiaries (“Bioriginal Food & Science Europe”). The operations of these subsidiaries are considered self-sustaining and their financial statements are translated into U.S. Dollars using the current rate method. Under this method, all assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. Dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and all revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect in the period of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses arising from this translation, representing the net unrealized foreign currency translation gain (loss) on the Company's net investment in its self-sustaining subsidiaries, are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholders' equity. Adjustments to the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) account are not recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income until realized through an addition or reduction in the Company's net investment in such operations.

 

NOTE 2. PLANT CLOSURES

 

Batavia Plant

 

As part of our strategic review and as a result of operating results that did not meet expectations, we re-assessed our business strategy to produce and sell concentrated menhaden fish oils. During this assessment, a reduction in efforts was instituted and the Company determined that the carrying values of certain assets located at our facility in Batavia, Illinois were no longer recoverable. In March, the Company decided to exit this facility and relocate certain assets from this facility to other Company facilities. Subsequent to that decision and during the second quarter of 2016 the Company received a non-binding offer to purchase certain assets at the Batavia facility and began negotiations with a potential buyer to sell those assets. As of August 3, 2016, those negotiations are still in progress. Under the accounting guidance of ASC 360, the Company determined that these negotiations represented a triggering event and re-assessed the carrying value of those assets. The Company determined that the carrying value of those assets exceeded their fair value by approximately $1.2 million and recorded a charge to reduce their carrying value.

 

The following table shows all charges related to the plant closure that have been recorded in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and from December 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016:

In addition to the above recognized losses, the Company expects that it may have additional losses related to ongoing costs not attributable to future production. To the extent we are unable to recover the remaining carrying value of the assets at the facility, we could have additional impairment charges. The remaining carrying value of these assets is $1.2 million. Of this $1.2 million in assets, approximately $0.7 million represents assets that the Company expects to relocate and use at other Company facilities.

Cameron Plant

 

In December 2013, the Company effectively closed its menhaden fish processing plant located in Cameron, Louisiana and re-deployed certain vessels from that facility to the Company’s other Gulf Coast facilities located in Abbeville, Louisiana and Moss Point, Mississippi. In conjunction with the closure, the following charges were incurred in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and from December 2013 to June 30, 2016:

In June 2016, the Company and its landlord agreed on the mutual termination of the lease for the Cameron facility pursuant to which the Company has no further ongoing lease payment or other obligations for the property. As a result of the termination of the lease, previously recognized accruals for ongoing contractual obligations were reversed and a gain was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

NOTE 3. INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

 

The Company evaluates and reviews its results of operations in two segments, animal nutrition and human nutrition. These segments are managed separately and information on each segment is used by the chief operating decision makers as they make decisions about the Company’s overall resource allocation and assess performance.

 

The animal nutrition segment is primarily comprised of the Company’s fishing related assets. These assets produce fish meal, oil and solubles that are sold primarily to animal nutrition customers. A portion of the Company’s fish oil is also partially refined and transferred at cost to the human nutrition segment where it is further refined and concentrated for sale to the human nutrition market. The human nutrition segment is comprised of assets used to produce, procure, market and sell products, including plant oils, dairy proteins, fish oils and nutraceuticals, to human nutrition markets.

NOTE 4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the sum of the amounts assigned to the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. All of the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets are the result of acquisitions in the human nutrition segment.

 

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, and whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit that includes goodwill is greater than the fair value of that reporting unit. Determining whether an indicator of impairment has occurred during an interim period involves a significant amount of judgment.  During the interim periods, qualitative factors such as deterioration in general economic conditions, changes in the market for an entity’s products or services, declines in actual or planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods, among others, are evaluated to determine if a triggering event which would result in a potential impairment has occurred.

 

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company completed its annual impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets related to its acquisition of Bioriginal Food & Science in September 2014.  As of June 30, 2016, the calculated fair value of Bioriginal Food & Science’s trade name exceeded its $3.8 million carrying value by 21% and the calculated fair value of goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets exceeded their $26.6 million carrying values by 26%. At this time, the Company does not consider the carrying value of these assets to be at risk due to the level of anticipated profitability of Bioriginal Food & Science. Key assumptions in the fair value calculation include sales volumes and prices, the portion of sales attributable to trade names, the cost and availability of raw materials and the discount rate.

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company completed its annual assessment of the WSP reporting unit’s goodwill for potential impairment. In that assessment, the Company estimated that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by $2.5 million or 12%. Key assumptions and sensitivities related to that assessment are more fully explained in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. During the first six months of 2016, this reporting unit experienced gross profits and operating income lower than was assumed in the December 31, 2015 analysis. While dairy protein product sales grew, several relatively higher-margin products did not grow as rapidly as was anticipated in the forecast prepared as of December 31, 2015. As a result, the Company re-assessed and revised several key assumptions in its forecast for WSP. The revised assumptions included (i) lower sales growth rates, (ii) a change in the product mix that generally increased the portion of sales from relatively lower margin products, and (iii) a reduction in the long-term growth rate used in the terminal year. This resulted in a new forecast for WSP that was lower than the forecast prepared as of December 31, 2015. Based on (i) the modest excess of estimated fair value over carrying value at December 31, 2015, (ii) actual results that were less than forecast for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and (iii) a lower forecast, the Company determined that triggering events had occurred and there was sufficient evidence to indicate the need to perform an interim test for impairment of goodwill. The results of the interim test for impairment, which included the revised outlook for the business, indicated that the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value and the Company recorded a charge of $11.6 million to impair the goodwill for this reporting unit. The interim testing also concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit’s other indefinite-lived intangible assets (trade names) exceeded its $1.1 million carrying value by 39% and no impairment was necessary.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, insurance receivables primarily relates to Jones Act claims for employees aboard its vessels. This estimated amount is recorded gross of estimated claims which may be due to claimants and is included in accrued insurance liabilities.

 

The Company carries insurance for certain losses relating to its fishing vessels and Jones Act liability for employees aboard its vessels (collectively, “Vessel Claims Insurance”). The typical Vessel Claims Insurance policy contains an annual aggregate deductible (“AAD”) for which Omega Protein remains responsible, while the insurance carrier is responsible for all applicable amounts which exceed the AAD. It is Omega Protein’s policy to accrue current amounts due and record amounts paid out on each claim. Once payments exceed the AAD, Omega Protein records an insurance receivable for a given policy year.

If, at any time, the swaps are determined to be ineffective due to changes in the Company’s energy usage, price correlations or underlying hedge agreements or assumptions, the fair value of the portion of the energy swaps determined to be ineffective will be recognized as a gain or loss in cost of sales for the applicable period. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized gains of $0 and $0.5 million, respectively, to cost of sales resulting from transactions associated with the ineffectiveness of diesel energy swaps. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized a loss of less than $0.1 million and a gain of $0.1 million, respectively, to cost of sales resulting from transactions associated with the ineffectiveness of diesel energy swaps. The fair value of all outstanding derivatives is determined using a model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived from or corroborated by observable data (level 2).

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Bioriginal Contingency

 

In September 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of Bioriginal Food & Science pursuant to the terms of a share purchase agreement. A portion of the equity of Bioriginal Food & Science that was sold was indirectly held by the management, who continue to be employed by Bioriginal Food & Science and share in the management of Bioriginal Food & Science’s business.

 

In addition to the acquisition date cash purchase price and restricted stock, the management sellers may also earn additional amounts based on the annual adjusted EBITDA of Bioriginal Food & Science’s business during each of the calendar years 2014 through 2016. For each calendar year, if the adjusted EBITDA meets or exceeds agreed upon targets, the management sellers will be eligible for an earn-out payment ranging from $1.2 million to $2.9 million Canadian Dollars, subject to certain forfeitures based on termination of management sellers’ employment. Based on results for 2014 and 2015, the maximum total payment for all three years is $5.3 million Canadian dollars.

 

The earn-out payments are estimated on a quarterly basis and will be paid-out in September 2017. The Company records the estimated contractual obligation as compensation expense during each year as it is deemed probable that such amount will be payable. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the outstanding liability associated with the earn-out was $2.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

 

Legal Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits involving its business and operations. Management believes that costs, if any, relating to these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.

 

Regulatory Matters

 

The Company is subject to various possible claims and lawsuits regarding environmental matters. Management believes that costs, if any, related to these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.

 

The Company has received a petition on probation filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia and as a result of that petition has become aware of a criminal investigation being conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Louisiana into the waste water discharge practices of the Abbeville, Louisiana facility of its Omega Protein subsidiary. The petition on probation seeks to revoke the subsidiary’s probation based on alleged Clean Act Water Violations. A hearing on the petition is expected to occur in September 2016. The Company is unable to determine its potential outcome or its effects on the Company’s probation status. As such, no liability has been recognized as of June 30, 2016 relating to this matter. In the event that Omega Protein is found to be not in compliance with the probation terms of the plea agreement and the court’s sentencing order, Omega Protein could be subject to additional criminal penalties or prosecution in the Eastern District of Virginia. In addition, if the United States Attorney in the Western District of Louisiana were to file new criminal charges regarding the waste water disposal operations of the Abbeville facility as a result of that office’s investigation, then Omega Protein could be subject to additional criminal penalties or prosecution in that district.
