NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2016 annual report and the notes thereto.

 

2.

Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Business Description

 

Servotronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries design, manufacture and market advanced technology products consisting primarily of control components, and consumer products consisting of knives and various types of cutlery and other edged products.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Servotronics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all cash accounts and short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company grants credit to substantially all of its customers and carries its accounts receivable at original invoice amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to approximately $78,000 at June 30, 2017 and $77,000 at December 31, 2016. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized as services are rendered or as units are shipped and at the designated FOB point consistent with the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership. Such purchase orders generally include specific terms relative to quantity, item description, specifications, price, customer responsibility for in-process costs, delivery schedule, shipping point, payment and other standard terms and conditions of purchase.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes all costs incurred to bring each product to its present location and condition. Market provisions in respect of lower of cost or market adjustments and inventory expected to be used in greater than one year are applied to the gross value of the inventory through a reserve of approximately $1,525,000 and $1,513,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Pre-production and start-up costs are expensed as incurred.

 

 

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The purchase of suppliers’ minimum economic quantities of material such as steel, etc. may result in a purchase of quantities exceeding one year of customer requirements. Also, in order to maintain a reasonable and/or agreed to lead time, certain larger quantities of other product support items may have to be purchased and may result in over one year’s supply. These amounts are not included in the inventory reserve discussed above.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of goods sold.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost; expenditures for new facilities and equipment and expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of existing plant and equipment are capitalized; expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of properties, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any profit or loss on disposition is included in income.

 

Depreciation is provided on the basis of estimated useful lives of depreciable properties, primarily by the straight-line method for financial statement purposes and by accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of capital lease assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable properties are generally as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements		5-40 years
Machinery and equipment		5-20 years
Tooling		3-5 years

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as operating loss and credit carryforwards. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, combined New York and Texas state income tax returns and separate Pennsylvania and Arkansas income tax returns.

 

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties included in its consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016, and did not recognize any interest and/or penalties in its consolidated statements of income during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits or obligations as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The 2013 through 2015 federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination.

 

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

 

Income taxes paid during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 amounted to approximately $165,000 and $134,000, respectively. Interest paid amounted to approximately $38,000 and $36,000, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

 

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

Contributions to the employee stock ownership plan are determined annually by the Company according to plan formula.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable based on undiscounted future operating cash flow analyses. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal. The Company has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets existed at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain balances, as previously reported, were reclassified to conform with classifications adopted in the current period.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risks principally consist of cash accounts in financial institutions. Although the accounts exceed the federally insured deposit amount, management does not anticipate nonperformance by the financial institutions.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short maturity. Based on variable interest rates and the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans similar to its long-term debt, the fair value approximates its carrying amount.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted new guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The ASU changes the measurement principle for certain inventory methods from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. Adoption of this new guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

 

 

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted new guidance issued by the FASB ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. The guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. Adoption of this new guidance during the reporting period resulted in the reclassification of a deferred tax liability, of $661,000 from current to noncurrent at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The deferred tax liability, for both reporting periods offsets the deferred tax asset, as presented on the balance sheet at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted new guidance issued by the FASB ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which amends the current stock compensation guidance. The amendments simplify the accounting for the taxes related to stock based compensation, including adjustments to how excess tax benefits and a Company’s payments for tax withholdings should be classified. Adoption of this new guidance has not had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

 

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company selected early adoption of the new guidance issued by the FASB ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Adoption of this new guidance has not had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

 

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost,” which requires employers to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. The other components of net periodic benefit cost will be presented separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, if one is presented. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The new revenue recognition standard outlines a comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. In August 2015, the FASB affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date of the standard to annual reporting periods (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities are permitted to apply the new revenue standard early, but not before the original effective date of annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company’s revenues are recognized as services are rendered or as units are shipped and at the designated FOB point. The Company does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” There are elements of the new standard that could impact almost all entities to some extent, although the lessees will likely see the most significant changes. Lessee will need to recognize virtually all of their leases on the balance sheet, by recording the right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Public business entities are required to adopt the new leasing standard for fiscal years, and interim period within those fiscal years, beginning December 15, 2018. For calendar year-end public companies, this means an adoption date of January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on the financial statements and disclosures.

As previously disclosed, the Company through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a contract to sell unused commercial real property in Franklinville, New York for approximately $180,000. The sale transaction closed on March 9, 2017 and the wholly-owned subsidiary recognized a de minimis loss on the sale.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to approximately $428,000 and $412,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to approximately $218,000 and $205,000 for the 3 months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 450,000 shares of its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has purchased 345,404 shares and there remains 104,596 shares available to purchase under this program. There were no shares purchased by the Company during the six month period ended June 30, 2017.

 

On April 11, 2016, the Company issued 51,000 shares of restricted stock to Executive Officers and certain key management of the Company under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The restricted share awards have varying vesting periods between January 2017 and January 2018; however, these shares have voting rights and accrue dividends prior to vesting. The aggregate amount of expense to the Company, measured based on grant date fair value is expected to be approximately $370,000 and will be recognized over the requisite service period.

 

Included in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is approximately $107,000 and $238,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the restrictive share awards.

 

On January 1, 2017, 39,750 shares of restricted stock vested of which 15,991 shares were withheld and repurchased by the Company for approximately $160,000 to satisfy statutory minimum withholding tax requirements for those participants who elected this option as permitted under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

 

On May 16, 2017 the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.15 per share cash dividend. The dividend was subsequently paid on July 14, 2017 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2017 and was approximately $376,000 in the aggregate. These dividends do not represent that the Company will pay dividends on a regular or scheduled basis. The amount is recorded in dividends payable and as a reduction to retained earnings on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities or any unvested restricted shares of common stock. These unvested restricted shares, although classified as issued and outstanding, are considered forfeitable until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic EPS calculation until the shares are vested. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the number of shares of common stock that would be issued assuming all contingently issuable shares having a dilutive effect on the earnings per share that were outstanding for the period. Incremental shares from assumed conversions are calculated as the number of shares that would be issued, net of the number of shares that could be purchased in the marketplace with the cash received upon stock option exercise. The dilutive effect of unvested restrictive stock is determined using the treasury stock method.

Facility Expansion. As previously disclosed, the Company has commenced a multi-year investment plan designed to consolidate the operations of the Consumer Products Group (“CPG”). The five year plan included the construction of an approximate 28,000 square foot addition, capital improvements to the existing plant, the reconfiguration of its production process within the expanded facility, and the addition of new state of the art knife-making equipment. The Company broke ground in the second quarter of 2014 and is now manufacturing in the newly constructed facility. The cost of the project is approximately $4,000,000 over a five year period of which $3,432,000 was completed as of June 30, 2017 and is included in property, plant and equipment.

 

The Company’s Consumer Products Group (“CPG”) was awarded certain incentives from the County of Cattaraugus Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA) in connection with the expansion of the Company’s CPG facility in Franklinville, New York and other proposed capital expenditures. The incentives include certain real property tax and sales tax abatements in connection with the proposed project. The Company’s CPG entered into customary lease and leaseback arrangements with the CCIDA to facilitate the various tax incentives.

The segments are composed of separate corporations and are managed separately. Operations in ATG primarily involve the design, manufacture, and marketing of servo-control components (i.e., torque motors, control valves, actuators, etc.) for government, commercial and industrial applications. CPG’s operations involve the design, manufacture and marketing of a variety of cutlery products for use by consumers and government agencies. The Company derives its primary sales revenue from domestic customers, although a portion of finished products are for foreign end use.

 

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had identifiable assets of approximately $34,668,000 ($35,620,000 – December 31, 2016) of which approximately $23,603,000 ($24,037,000 – December 31, 2016) was for ATG and approximately $11,065,000 ($11,583,000 – December 31, 2016) was for CPG.

Item 2.

Management ’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 approximately 11%, of the Company’s revenues were derived from contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government or their prime contractors and their subcontractors. This compares to the approximately 8% for the same three and six months ended 2016. The Company believes that government involvement in military operations overseas will continue to have an impact on the financial results in both the Advanced Technology and Consumer Products markets. While the Company is optimistic in relation to these potential opportunities, it recognizes that sales to the government are affected by defense budgets, the foreign policies of the U.S. and other nations, the level of military operations and other factors, and as such, it is difficult to predict the impact on future financial results.

 

The Company’s commercial business is affected by such factors as uncertainties in today’s global economy, global competition, the vitality and ability of the commercial aviation industry to purchase new aircraft, the effects and threats of terrorism, market demand and acceptance both for the Company’s products and its customers’ products which incorporate Company made components.

 

The ATG engages in business development efforts in its primary markets and is broadening its activities to include new domestic and foreign markets that are consistent with its core competencies. We believe our business remains particularly well positioned in the strong commercial aircraft market driven by the replacement of older aircraft with more fuel efficient alternatives and the increasing demand for air travel in emerging markets. Although the ATG backlog continues to be strong, actual scheduled shipments may be delayed/changed as a function of the Company’s customers’ final delivery determinations based on changes in the global economy and other factors.

 

The CPG continues to diversify its revenue streams with a broader government focus and new commercial channels, including the addition of national retailers, international accounts, and a direct-to-consumer business line, in response to recent and ongoing reductions in military spending. The CPG is also actively growing its custom manufacturing business to provide a wide range of metal and plastic fabrication services to a variety of consumer and industrial companies. New product development is focused on the commercialization of products with applications that span government and civilian requirements to maximize demand or that open up new lines of business entirely.

 

See also Note 10, Business Segments, for information concerning business segment operating results.

Revenue

 

The Company’s consolidated revenues from operations decreased approximately $524,000 or -2.7% for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016. During this period both ATG and CPG increased government shipments by approximately $340,000. This is offset by decreased commercial shipments at both ATG and CPG by approximately $864,000.

 

 

The Company’s consolidated revenues from operations decreased approximately $680,000 or -6.6% for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016. During this period both ATG and CPG increased government shipments by approximately $343,000. This is offset by decreased commercial shipments at both ATG and CPG by approximately $1,023,000.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold increased approximately $825,000 or 6.0% for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 and increased approximately $499,000 or 7.0% for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016 due in part to the mix of product sold. Additionally, although consolidated employment levels remain consistent, the Company continues to experience labor inefficiencies with the transition of certain workforce responsibilities in response to an increase in production capacity requirements at the ATG. The Company continues to pursue cost saving opportunities in material procurements and operating efficiencies including capital investments and technical developments in updated and new equipment/machinery as well as investing in the development and training of its labor force.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) increased approximately $286,000 or 9.1% for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 and increased approximately $90,000 or 5.9% for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016. Approximately 18% of SG&A expense is attributable to professional and legal services, such expenses increased approximately $278,000 primarily due to ongoing legal proceedings. The balance of the increase in SG&A expense is attributable to the sales and marketing of products including commissions, royalty expenses, sales promotions and trade show expenses.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

 

Depreciation and amortization remained relatively consistent for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and when compared to the same period in 2016. Depreciation expense fluctuates due to variable estimated useful lives of depreciable property (as identified in Note 2, Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements) as well as the amount and nature of capital expenditures in current and previous periods. It is anticipated that the Company’s future capital expenditures and related depreciation and amortization expense will follow the Company’s requirements to support its manufacturing delivery commitments and to implement certain information technology improvements.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense remained relatively consistent for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016. See also Note 5, Long-Term Debt, for information on long-term debt.

 

Other Income

 

See Note 11, Other Income, for information on other income.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 9.7% and 30.0% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 29.5% and 30.0% for the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 includes approximately $10,000 of tax benefit resulting from the vesting of restricted stock awards.  Without this tax benefit, the effective tax rate would be 16.6%.  The effective tax rate in both years reflects federal and state income taxes, permanent non-deductible expenditures and the federal tax credit for research and development expenditures.

 

Net Income

 

Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 decreased approximately $1,131,000 and decreased approximately $899,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016. This decrease is the result of decreases in revenue at both business segments as well as increases in cost of goods sold and SG&A as discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s primary liquidity and capital requirements relate to working capital needs; primarily inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable as well as capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and principal and interest payments on debt. At June 30, 2017, the Company had working capital of approximately $18,900,000 of which approximately $2,588,000 was comprised of cash and cash equivalents.

 

The Company utilized approximately $81,000 in cash from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The primary use of cash for the Company’s operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 includes working capital requirements, timing differences on payments to vendors and other current assets partially offset by generating cash by increased collections effort and managing inventory levels. The Company’s primary use of cash in its financing and investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2017 included approximately $295,000 of current principal payments on long-term debt as well as approximately $160,000 for the purchase of treasury shares. The Company also expended approximately $571,000 for capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2017. These uses are partially offset by cash generated in the amount of $180,000 for the sale of commercial real property.

 

The Company had a $2,000,000 line of credit available until June 21, 2017, which is intended to be renewed under similar terms in the third quarter of 2017.

 

The Company believes its cash generating capability and financial condition, together with available credit facilities will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs.
