CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements related to future events, business strategy, future performance, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “project,” “predict,” “potential,” “targeting,” “intend,” “could,” “might,” “should,” “believe” and similar expressions or their negative. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. These statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. We believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon.

Important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those described in “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on August 9, 2019, as such may be amended or supplemented in Part II, Item 1A of our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (including this report), and the following:

 

failure to compete successfully in our markets;

 

risks relating to developments in the industries in which our customers operate;

 

our ability to maintain our manufacturing, engineering and technological expertise;

 

the loss of any of our large customers or the loss of their respective market shares;

 

risks related to scheduling production accurately and maximizing efficiency;

 

our ability to realize net sales represented by our awarded business;

 

our ability to successfully identify or integrate acquisitions;

 

risks related to entering new markets;

 

our ability to develop new and innovative processes and gain customer acceptance of such processes;

 

our ability to recruit and retain our key executive officers, managers and trade-skilled personnel;

 

risks related to our information technology systems and infrastructure;

 

manufacturing risks, including delays and technical problems, issues with third-party suppliers, environmental risks and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements;

 

political and economic developments, including foreign trade relations and associated tariffs;

 

volatility in the prices or availability of raw materials critical to our business;

 

results of legal disputes, including product liability, intellectual property infringement and other claims;

 

risks associated with our capital-intensive industry;

 

risks related to our treatment as an S Corporation prior to the consummation of our initial public offering of common stock (IPO);

 

risks related to our employee stock ownership plan’s treatment as a tax-qualified retirement plan;

 

the possibility that the previous shareholders of Defiance Metal Products Co., which we acquired in December 2018, disagree with our calculations of whether the contingent consideration in such acquisition is payable and an arbitrator decides that some or all of such contingent consideration is payable; and

 

our ability to remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified in preparing our financial statements included in our final prospectus, dated May 8, 2019 (the Prospectus), filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on May 10, 2019 (included as part of our Registration Statement on Form S-1, Registration No. 333-230840), and to subsequently maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.

These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are

3


qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date on which any such statement is made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by federal securities laws.

They reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results and position for the interim unaudited periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company’s Prospectus. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the Company’s 2018 financial statements in the Prospectus. The Company followed these policies in preparation of the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Nature of Operations

MEC is a leading U.S.-based value-added manufacturing partner that provides a broad range of prototyping and tooling, production fabrication, coating, assembly and aftermarket components. Our customers operate in diverse end markets, including heavy- and medium-duty commercial vehicles, construction, powersports, agriculture, military and other end markets.

Our one operating segment focuses on producing metal components that are used in a broad range of heavy- and medium-duty commercial vehicles, construction, powersports, agricultural, military and other products.

On December 14, 2018, we acquired Defiance Metal Products Co., a leading U.S. based manufacturer of component parts for the heavy-and medium-duty commercial vehicles, construction, and agriculture and military markets.

In May 2019, we completed our initial public offering (IPO). In conjunction with the IPO, the Company’s legacy business converted from an S corporation to a C corporation. As a result, the consolidated business is subject to paying federal and state corporate income taxes on its taxable income from May 9, 2019 forward.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), specific to the principles for recognizing revenue. This guidance replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance. It provides principles for recognizing revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers with the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. As amended, this new revenue guidance will be effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For as long as the Company remains an Emerging Growth Company (EGC), the new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has elected to adopt the standard using a modified retrospective approach and has determined that the standard does not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

9


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, creating Topic 842, which requires lessees to record the assets and liabilities arising from all leases in the statement of financial position. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will recognize a liability for lease payments and a right-of-use asset. When measuring assets and liabilities, a lessee should include amounts related to option terms, such as the option of extending or terminating the lease or purchasing the underlying asset, that are reasonably certain to be exercised. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize lease assets and liabilities. This guidance retains the distinction between finance leases and operating leases and the classification criteria remains similar to existing guidance. For financing leases, a lessee will recognize the interest on a lease liability separate from amortization of the right-of-use asset. In addition, repayments of principal will be presented within financing activities, and interest payments will be presented within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For operating leases, a lessee will recognize a single lease cost on a straight-line basis and classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For public companies, this guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For as long as the Company remains an EGC, the new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

A summary of the Company’s evaluation of other recent accounting pronouncements is included in the Company’s 2018 financial statements in the Prospectus.

Note 2. IPO

Our IPO of shares of our common stock was completed in May 2019. In connection with the offering, we initially sold 6,250,000 shares of common stock at $17 per share generating proceeds of $99,344, net of underwriting discounts and commissions. Additional shares were also sold under an option granted to the underwriters that same month, resulting in a sale of an additional 152,209 shares of common stock at $17 per share, generating additional proceeds of $2,419, net of underwriting discounts and commissions. In conjunction with the IPO, the Company issued a stock dividend specific to pre-IPO shares, of approximately 1,334.34-for-1, resulting in the conversion of 10,075 shares in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan to 13,443,484 shares.

IPO proceeds were used to pay down certain indebtedness.

Note 3. Acquisition

On December 14, 2018, the Company acquired Defiance Metal Products Co. (DMP), a full-service metal fabricator and contract manufacturer with two facilities in Defiance, OH, one in Heber Springs, AR, and one in Bedford, PA.

The Company acquired DMP for $117,068, net of cash received, plus contingent consideration of up to $10,000. The Company would pay DMP’s previous shareholders $7,500 if DMP generated $19,748 of earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) over the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2019. In addition, the Company would pay one dollar for each additional dollar of EBITDA in excess of $19,748 generated over this period; however, in no event shall the total payment exceed $10,000. Based on our calculations as of September 30, 2019, DMP’s EBITDA for the earnout period fell short of the $19,748 contingent consideration threshold; however, we have not received notification of agreement with the calculation from DMP’s previous shareholders.

The aggregate purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net tangible assets acquired was allocated to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. The Company engaged a reputable independent third party to assist with the identification and valuation of the intangible assets. Management made significant estimates and assumptions when determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These estimates include, but are not limited to, discount rates, projected future net sales, projected future expected cash flows, useful lives, attrition rates, royalty rates, and growth rates. These measures are based on significant Level 3 inputs (see Note 15) not observable in the market.

 In connection with the DMP acquisition, inventory was valued at its estimated fair value which is defined as expected sales price less costs to sell. The valuation resulted in an inventory fair value step-up of $978. This amount is amortized based on inventory turns, with the amortization resulting in a reduction of inventory and an expense reflected in cost of sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company amortized $395 and $583 of the inventory fair value step-up during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively. The inventory fair value step-up was fully amortized as of March 31, 2019.

The Company recorded $14,780 of trade name intangible assets with an estimated useful life of 10 years, $44,550 of customer relationship intangible assets with an estimated useful life of 12 years, and $8,800 of non-compete agreements with an estimated useful life of 5 years. These intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis. The Company believes that the estimated useful lives and the straight-line amortization methodology most appropriately reflect when and how the Company expects to benefit from the identifiable intangible assets. Amortization expense related to these intangible assets is reflected in amortization of intangible expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The Company also estimated and recorded the fair value of the contingent consideration payable to be $6,076 as of the acquisition date. The Company remeasured this liability utilizing a Monte Carlo valuation model through the conclusion of the earnout period, September 30, 2019, with the change in value resulting in income or expense and reflected in the Contingent Consideration Revaluation line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The primary inputs utilized in the Monte Carlo valuation model include actual and projected EBITDA along with a discount rate. Contingent consideration payable was revalued to $0, $9,598, $6,924 and $6,054 as of September 30, 2019, June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The change between these balances resulted in (income)/expense of ($9,598), $2,674, $869, and ($21) for the three months ended September 30, 2019, June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019, and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively.

Based on our calculations as of September 30, 2019, DMP’s EBITDA fell short of the $19,748 contingent consideration threshold. As a result, and in accordance with GAAP, the contingent consideration balance of $9,598 was reduced to zero and reflected as income in the Contingent Consideration Revaluation line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2019. We have communicated the results of our DMP EBITDA calculation to DMP’s previous shareholders; however, we have not received notification of agreement with the calculation. If they disagree with our calculation, the matter will be subject to arbitration per the stock purchase agreement.

The purchase price of DMP exceeded the preliminary estimated fair value of identifiable net assets and accordingly, the difference was allocated to goodwill, which is not tax deductible.

11


The Company has recorded preliminary estimates for certain of the items noted above and will record adjustments, if any, to the preliminary amounts upon finalization of the respective valuations. The Company believes that the information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed; however, the purchase price allocations are preliminary. The Company is in the process of finalizing the fair value estimates for certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed including income tax balances. Such changes are not expected to be significant. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the applicable acquisition date.    

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has adjusted the fair value on the opening balance sheet by increasing deferred income taxes by $1,097, increasing inventory by $1,508 and increasing accounts receivable by $473. In addition, the Company finalized the net working capital adjustment during the three month period ended June 30, 2019, resulting in an additional payout of $2,368 by the Company to the seller, bringing the Company’s acquisition of DMP to $117,068 in total cash paid, net of cash acquired. The offsetting entries of these adjustments was to goodwill.

The DMP acquired entities accounted for $51,769 and $155,503 of net sales and $11,299 and $11,531 of net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. These net income amounts include the contingent consideration fair value adjustments previously discussed.

Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited): In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, the following unaudited pro forma combined results of operations have been prepared and presented to give effect to the DMP acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2018, the beginning of the comparable period, applying certain assumptions and proforma adjustments. These proforma adjustments primarily relate to the depreciation expense on stepped-up fixed assets, amortization of identifiable intangible assets, costs of goods sold expense on the sale of stepped inventory, interest expense related to additional debt needed to fund the acquisition, and the tax impact of these adjustments. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not indicative of the Company’s actual consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

 The unaudited pro forma results of operations do not reflect any operating efficiencies or potential cost savings which may result from the acquisition.

Note 5. Bank revolving credit notes

On September 26, 2019, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (A&R Credit Agreement) with certain lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the Agent). The A&R Credit Agreement provides for $200 million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Loan), with a letter of credit sub-facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million, and a swingline facility in an aggregate amount of $20.0 million. The A&R Credit Agreement also provides for an additional $100.0 million of capacity through an accordion feature. All amounts borrowed under the A&R Credit Agreement mature on September 26, 2024.

Prior to September 26, 2019, the Company maintained a credit agreement providing for $90 million borrowing capacity through a revolving credit note. Interest is payable monthly at the adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin based on the current funded indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA ratio. The interest rate was 3.56% and 4.69% as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Additionally, the agreement has a fee on the average daily unused portion of the aggregate unused revolving commitments. This fee was 0.20% as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of its credit agreements as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The amount borrowed on the revolving credit notes was $87,000 and $59,629 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Note 6. Other long-term debt

Prior to September 26, 2019, the Company maintained a facility financing package with borrowings of $95,000 and a maturity date of December 14, 2023 and a strategic capital loan with borrowings of $25,000 and a maturity date of June 14, 2024. As of September 26, 2019, all long-term debt was paid off in connection with entering into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  

Government loan balances include forgiveness clauses based upon capital spending and headcount increases at the noted manufacturing locations.

As previously disclosed, the Company completed its IPO in May 2019. Proceeds from the IPO were used to pay down debt including $43,000 pay down of the prior Term A loan and $25,000 pay-off of the prior strategic capital loan.

In June 2019, the Company received written notification that the $521 balance remaining of the Smyth County, Virginia loan was forgiven. Due to the nature of the requirements to obtain forgiveness, the gain associated with the forgiveness is reflected in cost of sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

On September 26, 2019, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement resulting in the payoff of the real estate term loan and the Term A loan through the new revolving credit facility.

Other long-term debt as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

Note 8. Employee stock ownership plan

Under the Mayville Engineering Company, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the ESOP), the Company makes annual contributions to the trust for the benefit of eligible employees in the form of cash or shares of the Company. The annual contribution is discretionary except that it must be at least 3% of the compensation for all safe harbor participants for the plan year. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s ESOP expense amounted to $1,500 and $1,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s ESOP expense amounted to $4,500 and $3,000, respectively.

At various times following death, disability, retirement or termination of employment, an ESOP participant is entitled to receive their ESOP account balance in accordance with various distribution methods as permitted under the policies adopted by the ESOP. Historically, all distributions have been paid to participants in cash, but that will not be the case following the Company’s May 2019 IPO.

 During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 the ESOP did not acquire any shares from withdrawing participants.

As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the ESOP shares consisted of 13,443,484 in allocated shares after giving effect to the issuance of a stock dividend of approximately 1,334.34-for-1 related to the Company’s May 2019 IPO. Prior to its IPO, the Company was obligated to repurchase shares in the trust that were not distributed to ESOP participants as determined by the ESOP trustees, and thus the shares were mandatorily redeemable. Based on the mandatory redemption of these shares, they represented temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheets for periods prior to the IPO. The total estimated fair value of all allocated shares subject to this repurchase obligation approximated $133,806 as of December 31, 2018. The estimated fair value as of December 31, 2018 was based on the most recent available appraisals of the common stock which was approximately $9.95 per share after giving effect to the issuance of a stock dividend of approximately 1,334.34-for-1 related to the Company’s May 2019 IPO. Subsequent to the IPO, ESOP shares are sold in the public market.

Note 9. Income taxes

On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates its effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and records a quarterly income tax provision based on the anticipated rate. As the year progresses, the Company will refine its estimate based on facts and circumstances by each tax jurisdiction.

15


Income tax expense (benefit) was estimated at $2,512 and ($231), and the effective tax rate (ETR) from continuing operations was 19.60% and 3.50% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The following items caused the quarterly ETR to be significantly different from our expected annual ETR at statutory tax rates:

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a discrete tax expense of approximately $0 and $84, respectively, as a result of a greater state tax expense than was originally estimated in our tax provision for our year ended December 31, 2018. This decreased the effective tax rate by 0.00% and 1.27% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of approximately $0 and $784, respectively, as a result of establishing an opening deferred tax asset upon MEC’s conversion from an S Corporation to a C Corporation on May 9, 2019. This increased the effective tax rate by 0.00% and 11.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a discrete tax expense of approximately $0 and $1,800, respectively as a result of estimated non-deductible executive compensation in excess of the $1,000 per individual limitation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. This decreased the effective tax rate by 0.00% and 27.76% for three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

The acquired DMP entities are subject to taxation in the United States and five state jurisdictions. The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in these jurisdictions. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes, states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of technical merits.

Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2019.

Prior to the Company’s IPO, the Company’s legacy business was an S Corporation, where substantially all taxes were passed to the shareholders and the Company did not pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its taxable income. In connection with the IPO, the Company’s legacy business converted to a C Corporation. As a result, the consolidated business is subject to paying federal and state corporate income taxes on its taxable income from May 9, 2019 forward. Upon the Company’s conversion from a non-taxable entity to a taxable entity, we established an opening deferred tax asset of $784 as a result of evaluating estimated temporary differences that existed on this date.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with potential income tax audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts for penalties or interest recorded as of September 30, 2019. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its positions.

Note 10. Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and lawsuits, both for and against the Company, arising in the normal course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, in management’s opinion, either the likelihood of loss is remote, or any reasonably possible loss associated with the resolution of such proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 11. Deferred compensation

The Mayville Engineering Deferred Compensation Plan is available for certain employees designated to be eligible to participate by the Company and approved by the Board of Directors. Eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of his or her compensation for any plan year and the deferral cannot exceed 50% of the participant’s base salary and may include the participant’s annual short-term cash incentive up to 100%. The participant’s election must be made prior to the first day of the plan year.

 An employer contribution will be made for each participant to reflect the amount of any reduced allocations to the ESOP and/or 401(k) employer contributions due solely to the participant’s deferral amounts, as applicable. In addition, a discretionary amount may be awarded to a participant by the Company.

Prior to the IPO, all deferrals were deemed to have been invested in the Company stock at a price equal to the share value on the date of deferral and the value of the account increased or decreased with the change in the value of the stock. Individual accounts are maintained for each participant. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s deferred compensation, the Company’s contributions, and investment income or loss, reduced for charges, if any.

16


For the period subsequent to the IPO, deferrals are invested in an investment vehicle based on the options made available to the participant (which does not include Company stock).

The deferred compensation plan provides benefits payable upon separation of service or death. Payments are to be made 30 days after date of separation from service, either in a lump-sum payment or up to five annual installments as elected by the participant when the participant first elects to defer compensation.

The deferred compensation plan is non-funded, and all future contributions are unsecured in that the employees have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company and the agreements constitute a promise by the Company to make benefit payments in the future. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, eligible employees elected to defer compensation of $10 and $16, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, eligible employees elected to defer compensation of $1,064 and $837, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the total amount accrued for all benefit years under this plan was $24,743 and $13,351, respectively, which is included within the deferred compensation and long-term incentive on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts include the initial deferral of compensation as adjusted for (a) subsequent changes in the share value of the Company stock pursuant to the IPO or (b) following the IPO in the investment options chosen by the participants. Total expense for the deferred compensation plan for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $141 and $16, respectively. Total expense for the deferred compensation plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $10,405 and $310. These expenses are included in profit sharing, bonuses and deferred compensation on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Note 12. Long-Term incentive plan

Historically, the Company’s long-term incentive plan (LTIP) was available for any employee who had been designated to be eligible to participate by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Annually, the LTIP provided for long-term cash incentive awards to eligible participants based on the Company’s performance over a three-year performance period.

The LTIP was non-funded and each participant in the plan was considered a general unsecured creditor of the Company and each agreement constituted a promise by the Company to make benefit payments if the future conditions were met, or if discretion is exercised in favor of a benefit payment.

The qualifying conditions for each award granted under the plan included a minimum increase in the aggregate fair value of the Company of 12% during the three-year performance period and the eligible participants must have been employed by the Company on the date of the cash payment or have retired after attaining age 65, died or become disabled during the period from the beginning of the performance period to the date of payment. If the qualifying conditions were not attained, discretionary payments were made, up to a maximum amount specified in each award agreement. Discretionary payments were determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (for payment to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company) and by the Chief Executive Officer (for payments to other participants in the plan).

If a participant was not employed throughout the performance period due to retirement, death or disability, their maximum benefit was prorated based on the number of days employed by the Company during the performance periods.

The LTIP was terminated in May 2019 in conjunction with the IPO, resulting in a total payout of $10,483. The total amount accrued for all grant years under this plan was $1,846 at December 31, 2018. This amount is included within profit sharing and bonus on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total expense for the long-term incentive plan for the three months ended 2018 amounted to $969. Total expense for the long-term incentive plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $10,000 and $1,191, respectively. These expenses are included in profit sharing, bonuses and deferred compensation on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Note 13. Self-Funded insurance

The Company is self-funded for the medical benefits provided to its employees and their dependents. Healthcare costs are expensed as incurred and are based upon actual claims paid, reinsurance premiums, administration fees, and estimated unpaid claims. The Company purchases reinsurance to limit the annual risk associated with their multiple medical plans. Under one plan, the Company purchases reinsurance to limit the annual risk per participant to $225 with no aggregate stop loss. Under another plan, the Company purchases reinsurance to limit the annual risk per participant to $200 and to limit the annual aggregate risk related to this contract which was approximately $4,709 and $4,393 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $14,875 and $14,775 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. An estimated accrued liability of approximately $1,349 and $1,730 was recorded as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, for estimated unpaid claims and is included within other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 15. Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value provides information on what the Company may realize if certain assets were sold or might pay to transfer certain liabilities based upon an exit price. Financial assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value are classified into a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation process. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is based on the observability and objectivity of the pricing inputs, as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. These inputs would normally be the Company’s own data and judgements about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table lists the Company’s financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value by the fair value hierarchy:

Fair value measurements for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are classified based upon Level 1 measurements because such measurements are based upon quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.

Accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and accrued liabilities are recorded in the financial statements at cost and approximate fair value.

Deferred compensation liabilities are recorded at amounts due to participants at the time of deferral. Prior to the IPO, deferrals were deemed to have been invested in the Company stock at a price equal to the share value on the deferral date. Considered Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, the Company computed the fair value of its stock through the utilization of an independent third-party valuation specialist. For the period subsequent to the IPO, deferrals are invested in an investment vehicle based on the options made available to the participant. The change in fair value is recorded in deferred compensation and long-term incentive liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and deferred compensation expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

On December 14, 2018, the Company acquired DMP for $117,100, net of cash received plus contingent consideration of up to $10,000. The Company would pay DMP’s previous shareholders an additional $7,500 if DMP generated $19,748 of EBITDA over the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2019. In addition, the Company would pay one dollar for each additional dollar of EBITDA in excess of $19,748 generated over this period; however, in no event shall the total payment exceed $10,000. The Company estimated and recorded the fair value of the contingent consideration payable of $6,076 as of the acquisition date. The Company remeasured this liability through the conclusion of the earnout period, September 30, 2019, with the change in value resulting in income or expense reflected in the Contingent Consideration Revaluation line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Contingent consideration payable was revalued to $0, $9,598, $6,924 and $6,054 as of September 30, 2019, June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The change between these balances resulted in a (income)/expense of ($9,598), $2,674, $869, and ($21) for the three months ended September 30, 2019, June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019, and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively.

Based on our calculations as of September 30, 2019, DMP’s EBITDA fell short of the $19,748 contingent consideration threshold. As a result, and in accordance with GAAP, the contingent consideration balance of $9,598 was reduced to zero and reflected as income in the Contingent Consideration line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2019. We have communicated the results of our DMP EBITDA calculation to DMP’s previous shareholders; however, we have not received notification of agreement with the calculation. If they disagree with our calculation, the matter will be subject to arbitration.

The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities at the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s non-financial assets such as intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment are re-measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and adjusted only when an impairment charge is recognized.

Note 16 – Temporary Equity

Prior to our IPO in May 2019, our common stock was considered redeemable under GAAP because of certain repurchase obligations related to the ESOP. As a result, all common shares were recorded as temporary equity (redeemable common shares) on the consolidated balance sheets at their redemption value as of the respective balance sheet dates. Retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheet was adjusted for the changes during the period in the current redemption value of redeemable common shares.

All contractual redemption features were removed at the time of the IPO. As a consequence, all outstanding shares of common stock ceased to be considered temporary equity and were reclassified to Shareholders’ Equity, including the associated balances of

19


retained earnings. As the common shares have no par value, the amounts recorded in temporary equity for the share redemption value were recorded to additional paid-in capital within Shareholders’ Equity upon the transfer.

The following table shows all changes to temporary equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, excluding net income for the period of April 1, 2019 through the date of the IPO.

Note 17 – Common Equity

On May 13, 2019 the Company issued a stock dividend specific to pre-IPO shares, of approximately 1,334.34-for-1. The share dividend was accounted for as a 1,334.34-for-1 stock split and is retroactively reflected in these consolidated financial statements. All share redemption provisions mentioned in Note 16, Temporary Equity, were removed effective with the IPO. Therefore, common shares were reclassified from temporary equity to permanent equity as of May 2019.

As disclosed in Note 2, IPO, our IPO of common stock was effective in May 2019. In connection with the offering, we sold a total of 6,402,209 shares of additional shares of common stock.

On June 28, 2019, the Company cancelled 24,180,421 shares of common stock held in the Company’s treasury and returned those shares to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

Note 19 – Stock based compensation

In May 2019, we granted stock awards, including stock options and restricted stock units, to key employees and outside directors. These awards vest on the annual anniversary dates based on the passage of time. The related compensation expense for each award is recognized on a straight line basis over the appropriate vesting period. The fair value of each stock-based compensation awards is established on the date of grant. For grants of restricted stock units, the fair value is established based on the market price on the date of the grant.

For grants of options, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards. The determination of the fair value of share-based awards is affected by stock price and a number of assumptions. Our assumptions included expected volatility of 21.3%, expected risk free rate of 2.42%, exercise price of $17 per share, and a ten year period to exercise.

There were 331,436 restricted units granted in May 2019 at a fair value of $17/unit. The total fair value of these award grants was $3,600 and $2,034, which vest over a 1- and 2-year period, respectively.

There were 287,895 options granted in May 2019 at a fair value of $6.07/option. The total fair value of these award grants was $1,748, which vest over a 2-year period.

The Company recognized $1,338 and $2,135 of stock-based compensation expense for the three- and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Note 20 – Subsequent events

On October 28, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the Company’s share repurchase program from $4 million to $25 million through 2021.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to assist in the understanding and assessing the trends and significant changes in our results of operations and financial condition. Historical results may not be indicative of future performance. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Prospectus. In this discussion, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures. Explanation of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented in compliance with GAAP.

Overview

MEC is a leading U.S.-based value-added manufacturing partner that provides a broad range of prototyping and tooling, production fabrication, coating, assembly and aftermarket components. Our customers operate in diverse end markets, including heavy-and medium-duty commercial vehicles, construction, powersports, agriculture, military and other end markets. We have developed long-standing relationships with our blue-chip customers based upon a high level of experience, trust and confidence.

Our one operating segment focuses on producing metal components that are used in a broad range of heavy-and medium-duty commercial vehicles, construction, powersports, agricultural, military and other products.

On December 14, 2018, we acquired DMP, a leading U.S. based manufacturer of component parts for the heavy-and medium-duty commercial vehicles, construction, and agriculture and military markets. See Note 3 – Acquisition, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more specifics.

In May 2019, we completed our IPO. In conjunction with the IPO, the Company’s legacy business converted from an S corporation to a C corporation. As a result, the consolidated business is subject to paying federal and state corporate income taxes on its taxable income from May 9, 2019 forward.

How We Assess Performance

Net Sales. Net sales reflect sales of our components and products net of allowances for returns and discounts. Several factors affect our net sales in any given period, including general economic conditions, weather, timing of acquisitions and the production schedules of our customers. Net sales are recognized at the time of shipment to the customer.

Manufacturing Margins. Manufacturing margins represents net sales less cost of sales. Cost of sales consists of all direct and indirect costs used in the manufacturing process, including raw materials, labor, equipment costs, depreciation, lease expenses, subcontract costs and other directly related overhead costs. Our cost of sales is directly affected by the fluctuations in commodity prices, primarily sheet steel and aluminum, but these changes are largely mitigated by contractual agreements with our customers that allow us to pass through these price changes based upon certain market indexes.

Depreciation and Amortization. We carry property, plant and equipment on our balance sheet at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization expense is the periodic expense related to leasehold improvements and intangible assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the life of the underlying asset or the remaining lease term. Our intangible assets were recognized as a result of certain acquisitions and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Other Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Other selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel costs for our sales and marketing, finance, human resources, information systems, administration and other certain managerial employees and certain corporate level administrative expenses such as incentive compensation, audit, accounting, legal and other consulting and professional services, travel, and insurance.

Other Key Performance Indicators

EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA Margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of net sales for each period.

Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before transaction fees incurred in connection with the DMP acquisition and the IPO, the loss on debt extinguishment relating to our December 2018 credit agreement, non-cash purchase accounting charges including costs recognized on the step-up of acquired inventory and contingent consideration fair value adjustments, and one-time increases in deferred compensation and long term incentive plan expenses related to the IPO. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales for each period. These metrics are supplemental measures of our operating performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as management uses these measures as key performance indicators, and we believe they are measures frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other parties to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Our calculation of EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to the similarly named measures reported by other companies. Potential differences between our measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA compared to other similar companies’ measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may include differences in capital structure and tax positions.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA, and the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin for each of the periods presented.

Net Sales. Net sales were $128,511 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $84,338 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The DMP acquisition accounted for $51,769 of net sales for the quarter. Both the legacy MEC business and DMP were impacted by recent declines in market demand, particularly in the agricultural, construction and medium duty truck markets. The demand changes stem from customer decisions to delay and/or curtail near-term production schedules, reduce dealer inventory levels, and ongoing labor issues in the heavy and medium duty truck markets.

Manufacturing Margins. Manufacturing margins were $14,570 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $12,821 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $1,749, or 13.6%. The acquisition of DMP account for $5,825 of manufacturing margin during the quarter. Manufacturing margins for both the legacy MEC and DMP businesses were impacted by the aforementioned declines in market demand.

Amortization of Intangibles Expense. Amortization of intangibles expense was $2,677 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $939 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $1,738, or 185.1%, was solely due to the amortization expense associated with the identifiable intangible assets from the DMP acquisition. Please see Note 3 – Acquisition, of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to these identifiable intangible assets.

Profit Sharing, Bonuses and Deferred Compensation Expenses. Profit sharing, bonuses, and deferred compensation expenses were $678 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $2,340 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease of $1,662 was primarily driven by year-to-date adjustments to incentive compensation programs related to performance.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan Expense. Employee stock ownership plan expense was $1,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $1,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $500, or 50.0%, was primarily due to the addition of plan participants as a result of the DMP acquisition.

Other Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,068  for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $2,855 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $3,213, or 112.6%, was driven by $1,625 of one-time expenses related to the IPO, expenses from the DMP acquired business, plus additional costs associated with being a publicly traded company.

Contingent Consideration Revaluation. The DMP purchase agreement provides for a payout to the previous shareholders of DMP of $7,500, but not more than $10,000 if a certain level of EBITDA was generated during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2019. In accordance with GAAP, we estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration payable balance as of the acquisition date. We then remeasured the fair value each quarter with the change recorded as income or expense. Based on our calculations in accordance with the purchase agreement, DMP’s EBITDA fell slightly short of the payout threshold and as a result, the contingent consideration payable balance of $9,598 was adjusted to zero, resulting in income of this amount during the quarter.

24


Interest Expense. Interest expense was $987 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $846 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 The increase of $140, or 16.6%, is due to additional debt used to fund the DMP acquisition offset by the substantial paydown of debt with the IPO proceeds in the second quarter of 2019.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. Income tax expenses were $2,512 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $17 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The current period expense is the result of the Company’s legacy business converting to a C Corporation in May 2019. Prior to the Company’s IPO, the Company’s legacy business was an S Corporation, where substantially all taxes were passed to the shareholders and the Company did not pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its taxable income. The DMP entities have been taxable under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and certain state statutes since being acquired. The consolidated business is subject to paying federal and state corporate income taxes on its taxable income from May 9, 2019 forward.

Net Income and Comprehensive Income. Net income and comprehensive income was $9,746 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to net income and comprehensive income of $4,824 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $4,923 was due to the previously discussed items, most notably the $9,598 gain recorded from the contingent consideration payable fair value adjustment.

EBITDA and EBITDA Margin. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin percent were $21,543 and 16.8%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $10,650 and 12.6%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The $10,893 increase in EBITDA was primarily due to the $9,598 revaluation for the contingent consideration fair value adjustment and the addition of DMP.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin percent were $13,570 and 10.6%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $10,650 and 12.6%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $2,920 was primarily driven by our recent acquisition of DMP, while the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA Margin percent was driven by the aforementioned recent declines in market demand.

Net Sales. Net sales were $417,373 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $263,095 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 for an increase of $154,279, or 58.6%. The acquired DMP business contributed $155,504 of the change.

Manufacturing Margins. Manufacturing margins were $54,684 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $40,181 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $14,503, or 36.1%.  The acquired DMP business contributed $18,636 of the change. Manufacturing margin percentage was 13.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to

25


15.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease is mostly attributed to the aforementioned market demand challenges experienced during the third quarter of 2019.

Amortization of Intangibles Expense. Amortization of intangibles expense was $8,030 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $2,817 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $5,213, or 185.1%, was solely due to the amortization expense associated with the identifiable intangible assets from the DMP acquisition. Please see Note 3 – Acquisition of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to these identifiable intangible assets.

Profit Sharing, Bonuses and Deferred Compensation Expenses. Profit sharing, bonuses, and deferred compensation expenses were $25,258 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $5,346 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $19,913 was primarily driven by a one-time $10.2 million increase in deferred compensation plan expense and a one-time $9.9 million increase in long term incentive plan (LTIP) expense, both of which relate to the IPO.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan Expense. Employee stock ownership plan expense was $4,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $3,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $1,500, or 50.0%, was primarily due to the addition of plan participants as a result of the DMP acquisition.

Other Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $20,296 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $8,435 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $11,861, or 140.6%, was driven by $6,434 of one-time IPO and DMP acquisition expenses, along with expenses from the acquired DMP business and additional costs associated with being a publicly traded company.

Contingent Consideration Revaluation. The DMP purchase agreement provides for a payout to the previous shareholders of DMP of $7,500, but not more than $10,000 if a certain level of EBITDA was generated during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2019. In accordance with GAAP, we estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration payable balance as of the acquisition date. We then remeasured the fair value each quarter with the changed recorded as income or expense. Based on our calculations in accordance with the purchase agreement, DMP’s EBITDA fell slightly short of the payout threshold and as a result, the contingent consideration payable balance was adjusted to zero, resulting in income of $6,054 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $5,811 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $2,606 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $3,205, or 123.0%, is due to additional debt used to fund the DMP acquisition offset by the substantial paydown of our debt from the IPO proceeds.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. Income tax benefits were $231 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $46 provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The current period benefit is the result of the Company’s legacy business converting to a C Corporation in May 2019 and the one-time IPO expenses incurred during the second quarter of 2019, which are deductible, causing the benefit. Prior to the Company’s IPO, the Company’s legacy business was an S Corporation, where substantially all taxes were passed to the shareholders and the Company did not pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its taxable income. The DMP entities have been taxable under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and certain state statutes since being acquired. The consolidated business is subject to paying federal and state corporate income taxes on its taxable income from May 9, 2019 forward.

Net Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Net loss and comprehensive loss was $3,079 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to net income and comprehensive income of $17,344 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease of $20,424 was due to the previously discussed expense increases, most notably the one-time LTIP and deferred compensation plan expenses related to the IPO, other one-time IPO and DMP acquisition related expenses, slightly offset by the contingent consideration fair value adjustment and net income generated by DMP.

EBITDA and EBITDA Margin. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin percent were $27,153 and 6.5%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $34,861 and 13.3%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The $7,709 decline in EBITDA was due to the previously mentioned increase in LTIP and deferred compensation plan expenses related to the IPO, and one-time IPO expenses. These one-time expenses and charges were slightly offset by the gain recorded for the DMP contingent consideration fair value adjustment and the addition of DMP.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin percent were $48,161 and 11.5%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $35,449 and 13.5%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $12,712 was primarily driven by our recent acquisition of DMP.

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $16,424 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $28,570 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The $12,145, or 42.5% decline in operating cash flows was primarily due to changes in net working capital items, most notably the $9,524 increase in accounts receivable changes primarily due to DMP (whose customers have longer payment terms than those of the legacy MEC business). Changes to pricing, payment terms and credit terms did not have a significant impact on changes to working capital items, or any other element of the operating cash flow activities, for the periods presented.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $26,768 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $13,319 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The $13,449, or 101.0% increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by the continued investment in automation and new technology along with a $2,368 payment related to the DMP net working capital true-up.

Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $7,256 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to cash used in financing activities of $15,242 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The $22,498 change was primarily due to the IPO proceeds received in May 2019, net of debt repayments.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On September 26, 2019, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the A&R Credit Agreement) with certain lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the Agent). The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a $200.0 million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Loan), with a letter of credit sub-facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million, and a swingline facility in an aggregate amount of $20.0 million.  The A&R Credit Agreement also provides for an additional $100.0 million of capacity through an accordion feature.  All amounts borrowed under the A&R Credit Agreement mature on September 26, 2024.

Our obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of our personal property and guaranteed by, and secured by first priority security interests in, substantially all of the personal property of, our direct and indirect subsidiaries: Center Manufacturing, Inc., Center Manufacturing Holdings, Inc., Center—Moeller Products LLC, Defiance Metal Products Co., Defiance Metal Products of Arkansas, Inc., Defiance Metal Products of PA., Inc. and Defiance Metal Products of WI, Inc.

Borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement bear interest at a fluctuating LIBOR (which may be adjusted for certain reserve requirements), plus 1.00-2.00% depending on the current Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement). Under certain circumstances, we may not be able to pay interest based on LIBOR. If that happens, we will be required to pay interest at the Base Rate, which is the sum of (a) the higher of (i) the Prime Rate (as publicly announced by the Agent from time to time) and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, plus (b) 0.00% to 1.00%, depending on the current Total Consolidated Leverage Ratio.  The A&R Credit Agreement also includes provisions for determining a replacement rate when LIBOR is no longer available.

At September 30, 2019, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan was 3.56%. At September 30, 2019, we had availability of $87.0 million under the Revolving Loan.

We must pay a commitment fee at a rate of 0.20% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the aggregate unused revolving commitments under the A&R Credit Agreement. We must also pay fees as specified in the Fee Letter (as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement) and with respect to any letters of credit issued under the A&R Credit Agreement.

The A&R Credit Agreement contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability to, subject to certain exceptions, create, incur or assume indebtedness, create or incur liens, make

27


certain investments, merge or consolidate with another entity, make certain asset dispositions, pay dividends or other distributions to shareholders, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into sale leaseback transactions or make capital expenditures. The A&R Credit Agreement also requires us to satisfy certain financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. At September 30, 2019, our interest coverage ratio was 7.77 to 1.00. The A&R Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a consolidated total leverage ratio not to exceed 3.25 to 1.00, although such leverage ratio can be increased in connection with certain acquisitions. At September 30, 2019, our consolidated total leverage ratio was 1.30 to 1.00.

The A&R Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, covenant default, breach of representation or warranty, bankruptcy, cross-default, material ERISA events, material money judgments, failure to maintain subsidiary guarantees and a change in control, which will be deemed to occur if any person or group other than the ESOP owns or controls more than 35% of our equity interests, our board of directors is not composed of a majority of our continuing directors (i.e., our directors as of September 26, 2019, and any additional or replacement directors that have been approved by at least 51% of the directors then in office), or the ESOP fails to own more than 50% of our voting stock. If an event of default occurs, the Agent will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the A&R Credit Agreement, termination of the credit facility, and all other actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.

At September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants under the A&R Credit Agreement.

Capital Requirements and Sources of Liquidity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, our capital expenditures were approximately $22.8 million and $13.3, respectively. The increase of $9.5 million was primarily driven by our continued investment in automation and new technology, the addition of DMP, and the timing of purchases in 2019 as compared to the prior year. Budgeted capital expenditures for the full year 2019 are approximately $27 million.

Historically, we have had significant cash requirements in order to organically expand our business to meet the market related needs of our customers, continue our investment in new technologies and automation, as well as fund new projects. Additionally, prior to the Company’s IPO, we were required to use cash to repurchase shares of our common stock from the ESOP in connection with legally required diversification and other distributions to eligible ESOP participants. Following the consummation of the Company’s IPO, this requirement terminated, which allows us to direct this previously allocated cash to operating- and growth-related purposes. Our cash requirements include costs related to capital expenditures, purchase of materials and production of materials and cash to fund these needs. Our working capital needs are driven by the growth of our business, with our cash requirements greater in periods of growth. Additional cash requirements resulting from our growth include the costs of additional personnel, production and distribution facilities, enhancing our information systems and, our integration of DMP and any future acquisitions and, our compliance with laws and rules applicable to being a public company. Following the completion of the Company’s IPO, our primary uses of cash are investing in flexible, re-deployable automation used to provide our components and products and funding organic and acquisitive growth initiatives.

We have historically relied upon cash available through credit facilities, in addition to cash from operations, to finance our working capital requirements and to support our growth. At September 30, 2019, we had availability of $113.0 million under our A&R Credit Agreement. We regularly monitor potential capital sources, including equity and debt financings, in an effort to meet our planned capital expenditures and liquidity requirements. Our future success will be highly dependent on our ability to access outside sources of capital.

We believe that our operating cash flow and available borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement are sufficient to fund our operations for 2019. However, future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, and additional capital expenditures will be required to conduct our operations. There can be no assurance that operations and other capital resources will provide cash in sufficient amounts to maintain planned or future levels of capital expenditures. In the event we make one or more acquisitions and the amount of capital required is greater than the amount we have available for acquisitions at that time, we could be required to reduce the expected level of capital expenditures and/or seek additional capital. If we seek additional capital, we may do so through borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement, joint ventures, asset sales, offerings of debt or equity securities or other means. We cannot guarantee that this additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain the funds we need, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us or finance the capital expenditures necessary to conduct our operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company had $1 thousand of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2019. The entirety of this balance was in demand accounts with financial institutions. The primary market risks associated with this balance is liquidity risk.

The Company is party to a bank revolving credit facility. The amount borrowed under the revolving credit facility was $87.0 million as of September 30, 2019. The interest rate was 3.56% as of September 30, 2019. Please see “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement” above and Note 5 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more specifics.  

A hypothetical 100-basis-point increase in interest rates would have resulted in an additional $0.5 million of interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage interest risk or to speculate on future changes in interest rates. A rise in interest rates could negatively affect the Company’s cash flow.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives.

Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form-10-Q. As a result of the material weaknesses described below and previously disclosed in our Prospectus, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form-10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As a newly public company, neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm are required at this time to perform an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm have performed such an evaluation.

In the course of preparing financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, our management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which related to: (i) information technology general controls specific to segregation of duties, systems access and change management processes and (ii) a lack of consistently documented accounting policies and procedures, a lack of controls over the preparation and review of journal entries and a limited number of personnel with a level of GAAP accounting knowledge commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. The nature of these material weaknesses and our remediation actions are more fully described in the Prospectus.

29


We continue to implement actions to remediate these material weaknesses, including: (i) in January 2019, we hired additional accounting and finance staff members, including a senior accounting officer with public company reporting experience, to augment our current staff and to improve the effectiveness of our closing and financial reporting processes; (ii) we commenced an internal assessment of information technology controls specific to segregation of duties, systems access and change management processes and (iii) we engaged a reputable third party to assist us with formalizing our business processes, accounting policies and internal controls documentation, enhancing related internal controls and strengthening supervisory reviews by our management. Other than ongoing remediation actions described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently a party to any material litigation proceedings. From time to time, however, we may be a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors relating to the Company set forth in “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, filed with the SEC on August 9, 2019.
