Ferro Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Ferro Corporation (“Ferro,” “we,” “us” or “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The Company owned 51% of an operating affiliate in Venezuela that was a consolidated subsidiary of Ferro. During the fourth quarter of 2015, we sold our interest in the operating affiliate in Venezuela for a cash purchase price of $0.5 million.
During the second quarter of 2014, all of the assets and liabilities of the Europe-based Polymer Additives business were classified as held-for-sale. As further discussed in Note 3, in the third quarter of 2016, we completed the disposition of the Europe-based Polymer Additives business and have classified the related operating results, net of income tax, as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.
Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in subsequent quarters or for the full year ending December 31, 2016.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, Income Taxes: Topic 740: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. During the second quarter of 2016, we elected to prospectively adopt ASU 2015-17, thus reclassifying current deferred tax assets to noncurrent on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The prior reporting period was not retrospectively adjusted. Other than this reclassification, the adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Standards
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flow: Topic 230: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 is intended to address eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Topic 718: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This pronouncement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
8
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases: Topic 842. ASU 2016-02 requires companies to recognize a lease liability and asset on the balance sheet for operating leases with a term greater than one year. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606. This ASU replaces nearly all existing U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition. The standard prescribes a five-step model for recognizing revenue, the application of which will require significant judgment. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or with effective dates during fiscal 2016 had or are expected to have a material impact of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Discontinued Operations
During the second quarter of 2014, we commenced a process to market for sale all of the assets within our Europe-based Polymer Additives business, including the Antwerp, Belgium dibenzoates manufacturing assets, and related Polymer Additives European headquarters and lab facilities. We determined that the criteria to classify these assets as held-for-sale under ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, were met. On August 22, 2016, the Company completed the disposition of the Europe-based Polymer Additives business to Plahoma Two AG, an affiliate of the LIVIA Group. The Company made a capital contribution of €12 million (approximately $13.6 million) to its subsidiaries that owned the assets prior to the close of the sale. In August 2016, prior to the sale, an impairment charge of $26.8 million was recorded under ASC Topic 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. The charge was calculated as the difference of the executed transaction price and the carrying value of the assets. The impairment charge included $1.1 million associated with the reclassification of foreign currency translation loss from Accumulated other comprehensive loss (Note 17). The Europe-based Polymer Additives operating results, net of income tax, are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented and the assets and liabilities are classified as held-for-sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2015 as the criteria to do so under ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment were met as the respective periods.
The table below summarizes results for the Europe-based Polymer Additives assets, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, which are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations. Interest expense has been allocated to the discontinued operations based on the ratio of net assets of each business to consolidated net assets excluding debt.

In the production of some of our products, we use precious metals, some of which we obtain from financial institutions under consignment agreements with terms of one year or less. The financial institutions retain ownership of the precious metals and charge us fees based on the amounts we consign. These fees were $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and were $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. We had on-hand precious metals owned by participants in our precious metals consignment program of $26.8 million at September 30, 2016, and $20.5 million at December 31, 2015, measured at fair value based on market prices for identical assets and net of credits.
6. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is reported net of accumulated depreciation of $447.0 million at September 30, 2016, and $421.3 million at December 31, 2015. Unpaid capital expenditure liabilities, which are non-cash investing activities, were $2.4 million at September 30, 2016, and $3.4 million at September 30, 2015.
As discussed in Note 3 - Discontinued Operations, our Europe-based Polymer Additives assets have been classified as held-for-sale under ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment until the ultimate sale of the business in August 2016. As such, at each historical reporting date, these assets were tested for impairment comparing the fair value of the assets less costs to sell to the carrying value. The fair value was determined using both the market approach and income approach, utilizing Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy, which indicated the fair value less costs to sell was less than the carrying value during the first quarter of 2016, resulting in an impairment charge of $24.1 million, representing the remaining carrying value of long-lived assets at that reporting date. During the third quarter of 2016, prior to the sale, an impairment charge of $26.8 million, representing net working capital, was recorded under ASC Topic 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. The impairment charges of $26.8 million and $50.9 million are included in Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
During the third quarter of 2015, we recorded an impairment charge of $11.8 million, which represented additional capital expenditures related to the construction of the facility. The impairment charge of $11.8 million is included in Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
The following table presents information about the Company's impairment charges on assets that were measured on a fair value basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and for the year ended December 31, 2015. The table also indicates the level within the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine the fair value:

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the acquisition.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

Credit Facility
On July 31, 2014, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders to refinance the majority of its then outstanding debt. The Credit Facility consisted of a $200 million secured revolving line of credit with a term of five years and a $300 million secured term loan facility with a term of seven years. On January 25, 2016, the Company amended the Credit Facility by entering into the Incremental Assumption Agreement (the “Incremental Agreement”) to increase the revolving line of credit commitment amount from $200 million to $300 million. The Company then used a portion of the increase in the revolving line of credit to repay $50 million of the term loan facility. The Credit Facility was amended and a portion of the outstanding term loan was repaid to increase the amount of total liquidity available under the Credit Facility and reduce the total cost of borrowings. On August 29, 2016, the Company amended the Credit Facility by entering into the Second Incremental Assumption Agreement (the “Second Incremental Agreement”) to increase the revolving line of credit commitment amount to $400 million. The increase in the revolving line of credit commitment will be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.
Principal payments on the term loan facility of $0.75 million quarterly, are payable commencing December 31, 2014, with the remaining balance due on the maturity date. At September 30, 2016, after taking into account all prior quarterly payments and the $50 million prepayment that was made in January 2016, the Company had borrowed $244.0 million under the term loan facility at an annual rate of 4.0%. There are no additional borrowings available under the term loan facility.
Certain of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility and such obligations are secured by (a) substantially all of the personal property of the Company and the U.S. subsidiary guarantors and (b) a pledge of 100% of the stock of most of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of most of the stock of the Company’s first tier foreign subsidiaries.
Interest Rate – Term Loan: The interest rates applicable to the term loans will be, at the Company’s option, equal to either a base rate or a London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate plus, in both cases, an applicable margin.
· |
The base rate will be the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) syndication agent’s prime rate or (iii) the daily LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. |
· |
The applicable margin for base rate loans is 2.25%. |
· |
The LIBOR rate will be set as quoted by Bloomberg and shall not be less than 0.75%. |
· |
The applicable margin for LIBOR rate loans is 3.25%. |
· |
For LIBOR rate loans, the Company may choose to set the duration on individual borrowings for periods of one, two, three or six months, with the interest rate based on the applicable LIBOR rate for the corresponding duration. |
Interest Rate – Revolving Credit Line: The interest rates applicable to loans under the revolving credit line will be, at the Company’s option, equal to either a base rate or a LIBOR rate plus an applicable variable margin. The variable margin will be based on the ratio of (a) the Company’s total consolidated debt outstanding at such time to (b) the Company’s consolidated EBITDA computed for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended.
· |
The base rate will be the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) syndication agent’s prime rate or (iii) the daily LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. |
· |
The applicable margin for base rate loans will vary between 1.50% and 2.00%. |
· |
The LIBOR rate will be set as quoted by Bloomberg for U.S. Dollars. |
· |
The applicable margin for LIBOR Rate Loans will vary between 2.50% and 3.00%. |
