NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2017, 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, 2017.

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.

The following table provides a brief description of recent Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”):

Standard

 

Description

 

Effective Date

 

Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.

 

The new guidance improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results.

 

 

August 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial statements and related disclosures, but does not expect adoption will have a material impact as the Company does not currently utilize hedge accounting for derivative instruments.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles: Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.

 

The new guidance simplifies subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test.

 

August 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Company adopted the new guidance as of August 1, 2017, as part of the FASB's simplification initiative. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact to the Company.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

 

The new guidance changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses.

 

August 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Company does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

7


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases.

 

The new guidance supersedes the lease guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 840, Leases, resulting in the creation of FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases. The guidance requires a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term for both finance and operating leases.

 

August 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Company is currently evaluating its population of leases, and is continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, but currently believes the most significant impact relates to its accounting for manufacturing and logistics equipment, and real estate operating leases. The Company anticipates recognition of additional assets and corresponding liabilities related to leases upon adoption, but cannot quantify these at this time. The Company plans to adopt the standard effective August 1, 2019.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Since that date, the FASB has issued additional ASUs clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2014-09.

 

The new guidance requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance provides alternative methods of adoption. Subsequent guidance issued after May 2014 did not change the core principle of ASU 2014-09.

 

August 1, 2018.

 

The Company is currently reviewing its revenue contracts to assess the potential impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company plans to adopt the revenue guidance effective August 1, 2018, and expects to utilize the modified retrospective method of adoption.

 

2. Acquisitions

On June 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Flowchem Holdings LLC (“Flowchem”). The consideration paid on the closing date was the purchase price of $495.0 million plus $11.4 million for cash acquired. Based in Waller, Texas, Flowchem is a global provider of drag-reducing agents, related support services and equipment to midstream crude oil and refined fuel pipeline operators. To finance the acquisition the Company entered into a new credit agreement providing for a seven year syndicated term loan of $550.0 million. See Note 11 for further discussion of the Company’s credit agreement. The Company expensed transaction and acquisition-related costs of approximately $0.4 million in the three months ended October 31, 2017, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statement of income.

The Company has accounted for the purchase using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities in proportion to their respective fair values. The following table summarizes the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and the preliminary acquisition accounting for the fair value of the assets and liabilities recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2017 (in thousands):

This purchase price allocation is preliminary and is pending the finalization of the third-party valuation analysis. The fair value of the accounts receivable acquired was $11.3 million, equivalent to the amount the Company expects to be collected. The $204.7 million of goodwill was assigned to the performance materials segment, and the Company expects $155.9 million of goodwill to be tax deductible. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce of Flowchem and the allocation of proceeds in excess of the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Final accounting is incomplete for the customer relationships, trade names and trademark, proprietary manufacturing process, inventories, deferred taxes and goodwill acquired June 15, 2017, as the Company has not yet finalized the detailed valuation analyses as of October 31, 2017.

During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2017, measurement period adjustments were made to the preliminary purchase price allocation recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017. The acquired intangible assets, deferred tax liabilities and goodwill were adjusted as a result of additional analyses performed on the estimates used in the calculation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The measurement period adjustments to the amortizable intangible assets resulted in an immaterial reduction in the amortization expense recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended October 31, 2017, and a reduction in the estimated amortization expense going forward.

On February 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Sealweld Corporation (“Sealweld”), a privately held corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada, for CAD$22.3 million in cash (or approximately US$17.2 million, at an exchange rate of 0.77 CAD$ to US$ at February 1, 2017), which included CAD$5.5 million (or approximately US$4.2 million, at an exchange rate of 0.77 CAD$ to US$ at February 1, 2017) for estimated working capital. Sealweld is based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, with additional facilities in the United States and the United Arab Emirates. Sealweld is a global supplier of high-performance products and services for industrial valve and actuator maintenance, including lubricants, sealants, cleaners, valve fittings, tools and equipment. Additionally, Sealweld provides routine and emergency valve maintenance services and technician training for many of the world’s largest pipeline operators. The Company completed the acquisition by borrowing $17.0 million on the revolving loan under its revolving credit facility. See Note 11 for further discussion of the Company’s revolving credit facility. Sealweld is included in the performance materials segment. The Company expensed transaction and acquisition-related costs of approximately twelve thousand dollars in the three months ended October 31, 2017, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income.

This purchase price allocation is preliminary and is pending the finalization of the third party valuation analysis. The fair value of the accounts receivable acquired was $2.9 million, equivalent to the contractual amount acquired. The Company expects all acquired accounts receivable to be collected. The $2.6 million of goodwill was assigned to the performance materials segment, and the Company expects $0.1 million of goodwill to be tax deductible. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce of Sealweld.

The Company’s restricted cash includes cash balances which are legally or contractually restricted to use. The Company’s restricted cash was included in other long term assets as of October 31, 2016 and included proceeds that were placed in escrow in connection with the sale of the animal health business in fiscal year 2013. These proceeds were released from escrow in February 2017.

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 317,000 and 272,000 dilutive shares related to stock-based awards for the three months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Outstanding stock-based awards are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method if the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities that were not included for the three months ended October 31, 2017, and 11,160 potentially diluted securities that were not included for the three months ended October 31, 2016.

On October 23, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 3,450,000 shares of its common stock, including 450,000 shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, at a public offering price of $54 per share, resulting in estimated net proceeds of approximately $175.7 million after deducting underwriting commissions and estimated offering expenses.

In fiscal year 2016, as part of the Company’s ongoing review of its Milan production facilities, the Company determined that certain other facilities had excess capacity sufficient to absorb the manufacturing operations of one of its Milan plants. As a result, the Company committed to sell properties with a total estimated fair value, less costs to sell, of approximately $4.3 million at July 31, 2016. Assets held for sale are included in Prepaid expenses and other in Current assets. The Company obtained an updated third party market analysis on the property and has increased marketing and advertising efforts and expects the sale of the property to be completed during fiscal year 2018.

7. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has stock-based incentive plans which are described in more detail in the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2017. The Company recognized stock-based compensation costs of approximately $1.6 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company also recognized the related tax benefits of $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Stock‑based compensation costs are recorded under selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The percentage vesting for performance-based RSU awards is currently estimated at 184% and 196% of the target award for Series 1 awards granted in fiscal years 2017 and 2016 awards, respectively, 150% of the target award for Series 3 awards granted in fiscal year 2016, and 100% and 184% of the target award for the first and second tranches, respectively, of the Series 4 awards granted in fiscal year 2017.

(2)

Forfeitures include Series 1 and Series 4 awards that were granted to certain employees in fiscal years 2017 and 2016 but that were forfeited at the termination of their employment.

Series 1: For the fiscal year 2017 and 2016 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 October 31, 2017, and reflects the percentage of RSUs projected to vest for the respective awards at the end of their measurement periods. For the fiscal year 2017 and 2016 awards, RSUs vested may increase to a maximum of 200% of the target award on achievement of maximum performance objectives.

Series 3: In fiscal year 2016 Mr. Fraser was awarded a performance-based Series 3 award for 82,938 shares of common stock (at target) having performance requirements related to cumulative revenue and total stockholder return. The measurement period for the fiscal year 2016 award begins on November 1, 2015 and the award vests one-third (1/3) at July 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. The shares vested may increase to a maximum of 200% of the target award on achievement of maximum performance objectives. These awards are expected to vest at 150% of the target award.

Series 4: For the fiscal year 2017 awards, each award includes two tranches. For the first tranche, vesting is subject to the achievement of an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) metric. For the second tranche, vesting is subject to performance requirements for 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 4 awards, the expected percentage vesting is evaluated through October 31, 2017, and reflects the percentage of RSUs projected to vest at the end of the measurement period. For the fiscal year 2017 awards, the RSUs vested in the second tranche may increase to a maximum of 200% of the target award on achievement of maximum performance objectives.

The weighted-average per share grant-date fair value of the target award RSUs for performance-based awards outstanding was $25.60 and $25.49 at October 31, 2017 and August 1, 2017, respectively.

The weighted-average per share grant-date fair value of the target award RSUs for performance-based awards granted during the three months ended October 31, 2016 was $29.11.  No performance-based RSU awards were granted during the three months ended October 31, 2017.

The weighted-average per share grant-date fair value of performance-based awards forfeited during the three months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016 was $27.47 and $19.63, respectively.
