INTEGER HOLDINGS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(1.) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Integer Holdings Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Integer” or the “Company”) is a publicly-traded corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ITGR.” Integer is one of the largest medical device outsource manufacturers in the world serving the cardiac, neuromodulation, vascular, orthopedics, advanced surgical and portable medical markets. The Company provides innovative, high-quality medical technologies that enhance the lives of patients worldwide. In addition, it develops batteries for high-end niche applications in the energy, military, and environmental markets. The Company’s reportable segments are: (1) Medical and (2) Non-Medical. The Company’s customers include large multi-national original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and their affiliated subsidiaries.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270, Interim Reporting) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information necessary for a full presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the Company for the periods presented. Intercompany transactions and balances have been fully eliminated in consolidation.

Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, certain components of equity, sales, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The first quarter of 2021 ended on April 2 and consisted of 92 days, and the first quarter of 2020 ended on April 3 and consisted of 94 days.

Risks and Uncertainties

Beginning in early March 2020, the global spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) created significant uncertainty and worldwide economic disruption. Specific impacts to the Company’s business include delayed or reduced customer orders and sales, restrictions on its associates’ ability to travel or work, delays in shipments to and from certain countries, and disruptions in its supply chain. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict, including, among others, the duration of the outbreak, the effectiveness and utilization of vaccines for COVID-19 and its variants, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions, especially those taken by governmental authorities to contain the pandemic or treat its impact. As pandemic-related events continue to evolve, additional impacts may arise that the Company is not aware of currently. Any prolonged material disruption of the Company’s associates, suppliers, manufacturing, or customers could materially impact its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). The Company evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued, including those that are currently effective, and determined that the adoption of these pronouncements would not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. There have been no new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

(2.) BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On February 19, 2020, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of InoMec Ltd. (“InoMec”), a privately-held company based in Israel that specializes in the research, development and manufacturing of medical devices, including minimally invasive tools, delivery systems, tubing and catheters, surgery tools, drug-device combination, laser combined devices, and tooling and production. The acquisition enables the Company to create a research and development center in Israel, closer to the customer base in the region. The fair value of the consideration transferred was $7.0 million, which included an initial cash payment of $5.3 million and $1.7 million in estimated fair value of contingent consideration.

The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the Company’s obligation, under the asset purchase agreement, to make additional payments of up to $3.5 million over the four years following the acquisition based on specified conditions being met. Based on the final purchase price allocation, the assets acquired principally comprise $2.0 million of intangible assets, $4.8 million of goodwill, $0.3 million of acquired property, plant and equipment, and a net liability for other working capital items of $0.1 million. Intangible assets included developed technology, customer relationships and non-compete provisions, which are being amortized over a weighted average period of 5.9 years from the date of acquisition.

The amount allocated to goodwill for this acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation approach. See Note 13 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” for additional information related to the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration.

For segment reporting purposes, the results of operations and assets from this acquisition have been included in the Company’s Medical segment since the acquisition date. Sales related to InoMec were $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020. Earnings related to the operations consisting of the assets and liabilities acquired from InoMec for the three months ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020 were not material. During the three months ended on April 3, 2020, direct costs of this acquisition of $0.7 million were expensed as incurred and included in Other operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Pro forma financial information has not been presented for this acquisition as the net effects were not significant or material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Restricted Stock Units

During the three months ended April 2, 2021, the Company awarded grants of either time-based RSUs or a mix of time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs (“PRSUs”) to certain members of its Board of Directors and management. Newly appointed members to the Board of Directors received a pro-rated portion of the their annual equity retainer in the form of time-based RSUs that vest in accordance with the regularly scheduled vesting schedule applicable to existing members of the Board of Directors. All other time-based RSUs granted during three months ended April 2, 2021 vest ratably, subject to the recipient’s continuous service to the Company over a period of three years from the grant date. For the Company’s PRSUs, in addition to service conditions, the ultimate number of shares to be earned depends on the achievement of market-based conditions. The market-based conditions are based on the Company’s achievement of a relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance requirement, on a percentile basis, compared to a defined group of peer companies over three year performance periods.

The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the grant-date fair value of awards with TSR-based performance conditions. The grant-date fair value of all other RSUs is equal to the closing market price of Integer common stock on the date of grant.

Acquisition and integration

Acquisition and integration costs primarily consist of professional fees and other costs related to business acquisitions. During the three months ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020, acquisition and integration costs included $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of expenses related to the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of InoMec and US BioDesign, LLC (“USB”), which was acquired in October 2019. Acquisition and integration costs for the three months ended April 3, 2020, also includes a $0.5 million adjustment to reduce the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration liability associated with the Company’s acquisition of USB. See Note 13 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” for additional information related to the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration.

Other general expenses

During the three months ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020, the Company recorded expenses related to other initiatives not described above, which relate primarily to integration and operational initiatives to reduce future costs and improve efficiencies. The 2021 and 2020 amounts primarily include data archiving expenses, information technology systems conversion expenses, and expenses related to the restructuring of certain legal entities of the Company.

(9.) INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. There is a potential for volatility of the effective tax rate due to several factors, including discrete items, changes in the mix and amount of pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which it relates, changes in tax laws and foreign tax holidays, business reorganizations, settlements with taxing authorities and foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, the Company continues to explore tax planning opportunities that may have a material impact on its effective tax rate.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was 13.8% on $25.0 million of income before taxes compared to 15.1% on $36.6 million of income before taxes for the same period in 2020. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020 is due principally to the net impact of the Company’s earnings outside the U.S., which are generally taxed at rates that differ from the U.S federal rate, the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax, the availability of tax credits, and certain discrete tax benefits. For the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The discrete tax benefits for both periods are predominately related to excess tax benefits recognized upon vesting of RSUs or exercise of stock options during those quarters.

As of April 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $5.5 million. It is reasonably possible that a reduction of up to $3.4 million of the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months as a result of potential audit settlements. As of April 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximately $5.5 million of the unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate, net of federal benefit on state issues, if recognized.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures may include deferring the due dates of tax payments or other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., includes measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income- based tax laws. The CARES Act provides for deferred payment of the employer portion of social security taxes through the end of 2020, with 50% of the deferred amount due January 3, 2022 and the remaining 50% due January 3, 2023. As of April 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had deferred a total of $9.7 million of payroll taxes. The deferred payroll taxes are included within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Fair value measurement standards apply to certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (each reporting period). For the Company, these financial assets and liabilities include its derivative instruments and contingent consideration. The Company does not have any nonfinancial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The Company is exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, and uses derivatives to manage these exposures that occur in the normal course of business. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company periodically enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to reduce the cash flow risk caused by interest rate changes on its outstanding floating rate borrowings. Under these swap agreements, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a floating rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The variable rate received from the swap agreements and the variable rate paid on the outstanding debt will have the same rate of interest, excluding the credit spread, and will reset and pay interest on the same date. The Company has designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges based on concluding the hedged forecasted transaction is probable of occurring within the period the cash flow hedge is anticipated to affect earnings.

On February 19, 2020, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of InoMec. See Note 2 “Business Acquisition” for additional information about the InoMec acquisition. On October 7, 2019, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of USB, a privately-held developer and manufacturer of complex braided biomedical structures for disposable and implantable medical devices. The contingent consideration at April 2, 2021 is the estimated fair value of the Company’s obligations, under the asset purchase agreements for InoMec and USB, to make additional payments if certain revenue goals are met.

As of April 2, 2021, the current portion of contingent consideration liabilities is $1.0 million and included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and the non-current portion is $1.3 million and included in Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2020, the current portion of contingent consideration liabilities was $1.7 million and included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and the non-current portion was $2.2 million and included in Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company acquired a set of similar identifiable intangible assets relating to a license to use technology within its Non-Medical segment. At the date of acquisition, the Company estimated the original fair value of the contingent consideration to be $1.0 million, which was paid during 2020 upon achievement of the applicable milestones.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Fair value standards also apply to certain assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

Borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, TLA Facility and TLB Facility accrue interest at a floating rate tied to a standard short-term borrowing index, selected at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin. The carrying amount of this floating rate debt approximates fair value based upon the respective interest rates adjusting with market rate adjustments.

Equity Investments

The Company holds long-term, strategic investments in companies to promote business and strategic objectives. These investments are included in Other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Non-marketable equity securities are equity securities without readily determinable fair value. The Company has elected the practicability exception to use an alternative approach that measures the securities at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes. If an impairment is recognized on the Company’s non-marketable equity securities during the period, these assets are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy based on the nature of the fair value inputs.

INTEGER HOLDINGS CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Except as required by applicable law, the Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements in this report whether to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in future operating results, financial conditions or prospects, or otherwise.

In this Form 10-Q, references to “Integer,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” mean Integer Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Our Business

Integer Holdings Corporation is one of the largest medical device outsource (“MDO”) manufacturers in the world serving the cardiac, neuromodulation, vascular, orthopedics, advanced surgical and portable medical markets. We also develop batteries for high-end niche applications in the non-medical energy, military, and environmental markets. Our vision is to enhance the lives of patients worldwide by being our customers’ partner of choice for innovative technologies and services.

We organize our business into two reportable segments, Medical and Non-Medical, and derive our revenues from four principal product lines. The Medical segment includes the Cardio & Vascular, Cardiac & Neuromodulation and Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical product lines and the Non-Medical segment comprises the Electrochem product line. For more information on our segments, please refer to Note 14 “Segment Information” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report.

The first quarter of 2021 ended on April 2 and consisted of 92 days, and the first quarter of 2020 ended on April 3 and consisted of 94 days.

Impact of COVID-19

Beginning in early March 2020, the global spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) created significant uncertainty and worldwide economic disruption. Specific impacts to our business include delayed or reduced customer orders and sales, restrictions on our associates’ ability to travel or work, delays in shipments to and from certain countries, and disruptions in our supply chain. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict, including, among others, the duration of the outbreak, the effectiveness and utilization of vaccines for COVID-19 and its variants, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions, especially those taken by governmental authorities to contain the pandemic or treat its impact. As pandemic-related events continue to evolve, additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently. Any prolonged material disruption of our associates, suppliers, manufacturing, or customers could materially impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Business Acquisition

On February 19, 2020, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of InoMec Ltd. (“InoMec”), a privately-held company based in Israel that specializes in the research, development and manufacturing of medical devices, including minimally invasive tools, delivery systems, tubing and catheters, surgery tools, drug-device combination, laser combined devices, and tooling and production. The acquisition enables us to create a research and development center in Israel, closer to the customer base in the region.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Strategic Overview

We continue to take steps to better align our resources in order to invest to grow and protect, and preserve our portfolio of products. In addition to our portfolio strategy, we continue to execute our six key operational strategic imperatives designed to drive excellence in everything we do:

•Sales Force Excellence: We are focusing our efforts within the commercial organization to further improve our efficiency and effectiveness and to align with product line growth strategies and customer needs. These activities are about getting more out of the capabilities we already have, and increasing individual accountability and clarity of ownership, while serving customers more effectively.

•Market Focused Innovation: We are ensuring we get the most return on our research and development investments. We are focused on having a clear picture of how we spend our money so we can increase investments to drive future growth.

•Manufacturing Excellence: The goal is to deliver world-class operational performance in the areas of safety, quality, delivery and overall efficiency. We want to transition our manufacturing into a competitive advantage through a single, enterprise-wide manufacturing structure known as the Integer Production System. This system will provide standardized systems and processes by leveraging best practices and applying them across all of our global sites.

•Business Process Excellence: We are taking a systematic approach to driving excellence in everything we do by standardizing, optimizing and ultimately sustaining all of our processes.

•Leadership Capability: We have a robust plan to make leadership a competitive advantage for us, and as the success rate is higher with internal hires, we are focusing on finding and developing leaders from within the Company to build critical capabilities for future success.

•Performance Excellence: We are raising the bar on associate performance to maximize our impact. This includes aligning key roles with critical capabilities, positioning the best talent against the biggest work, and putting tools and processes in place to provide higher financial rewards for top performers, so our top performers can see increased results in pay for increased results in their performance.

We believe we are well-positioned within the medical technology and MDO manufacturing market and that there is a robust pipeline of opportunities to pursue. We have expanded our medical device capabilities and are excited about opportunities to partner with customers to drive innovation. We believe we have the scale and global presence, supported by world-class manufacturing and quality capabilities, to capture these opportunities. We are confident in our capabilities as one of the largest MDO manufacturers, with a long history of successfully integrating companies, driving down costs and growing revenues over the long-term. Ultimately, our strategic vision is to drive shareholder value by enhancing the lives of patients worldwide by being our customers’ partner of choice for innovative technologies and services.

Financial Overview

Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $21.5 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to $31.1 million, or $0.94 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2020. These variances are primarily the result of the following:

•Sales for the first quarter of 2021 decreased $38.0 million when compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to the on-going impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

•Gross profit for the first quarter of 2021 decreased $12.2 million, primarily from a decrease in sales volume and price reductions to our customers.

•Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2021 decreased $2.7 million, compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to decreases of $1.0 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses and $2.0 million in Other operating expenses.

•Interest expense for the first quarter of 2021 decreased $1.8 million, compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to lower interest rates and lower outstanding debt balances.

•During the first quarter of 2021, we recognized a loss on equity investments of $1.3 million, compared to a gain of $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2020. Gains and losses on equity investments are generally unpredictable in nature.

•Other income, net for the first quarter of 2021 was $0.2 million compared to $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to fluctuations in foreign currency gains and losses in the respective periods.

•We recorded provisions for income taxes for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020 of $3.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively. The change in income tax was primarily due to relative changes in pre-tax income and the impact of discrete tax items.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Product Line Sales

For the first quarter of 2021, Cardio & Vascular sales decreased $30.0 million, or 17%, versus the comparable 2020 period. Cardio & Vascular sales for the first quarter of 2021 were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and also declined due to the first quarter of 2020 which included the discrete benefit from the signing of a customer contract on existing business. During the first quarter of 2021, price reductions lowered Cardio & Vascular sales by $1.1 million in comparison to the 2020 period. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations increased Cardio & Vascular sales for the first quarter of 2021 by $1.0 million in comparison to the 2020 period, primarily due to U.S. dollar fluctuations relative to the Euro.

For the first quarter of 2021, Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales increased $0.6 million, or 1%, versus the comparable 2020 period. Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales for the first quarter of 2021 continued to be negatively impacted by COVID-19. During the first quarter of 2021, price reductions lowered Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales by $3.6 million in comparison to the 2020 period. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales during the first quarter of 2021 in comparison to the 2020 period.

In addition to Portable Medical sales, Advanced Surgical, Orthopedic & Portable Medical includes sales to the acquirer of our former AS&O Product Line, under supply agreements entered into as part of the divestiture. For the first quarter of 2021, Advanced Surgical, Orthopedic & Portable Medical sales decreased $5.8 million, or 19%, versus the comparable 2020 period, driven by the impact of COVID-19. Price reductions and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on Advanced Surgical, Orthopedic & Portable Medical sales during the first quarter of 2021 in comparison to the 2020 period.

For the first quarter of 2021, Non-Medical sales decreased $2.7 million, or 26%, versus the comparable 2020 period, driven by a continued decline in the energy market and demand fall-out from the COVID-19 pandemic. Price reductions and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on Non-Medical sales during the first quarter of 2021 in comparison to the 2020 period.

Gross Profit

Changes to gross profit as a percentage of sales (“Gross Margin”) from the prior year were due to the following:



	Change From Prior Year Three Months
Price(a)	(1.1)	%
Mix(b)	0.6
Volume Leverage	(0.1)

Customer Bankruptcy(c)	0.3

Total percentage point change to gross profit as a percentage of sales	(0.3)	%

__________

(a)Professional fees decreased during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower legal costs.

(b)Compensation and benefits costs increased during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense.

(c)Travel and entertainment expenses decreased as a result of the reduction in travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

(d)The net decrease in all other SG&A for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 is primarily attributable to lower expense for supplies and depreciation.

RD&E

(a)These projects focus on changing our organizational structure to match product line growth strategies and customer needs, transitioning our manufacturing process into a competitive advantage and standardizing and optimizing our business processes. Expenses for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020 primarily consist of termination benefits.

(b)These initiatives primarily included aligning resources with our strategic direction, improving profitability to invest in accelerated growth and the expansion of a facility. These actions began in 2017 and were completed during the second quarter of 2020.

(c)These initiatives were designed to reduce costs, increase manufacturing capacity to accommodate growth and improve operating efficiencies by relocating certain manufacturing operations and expanding certain facilities. These actions began in 2017 and were completed during the fourth quarter of 2020.

(d)Amounts include expenses related to the purchase of certain assets and liabilities from business acquisitions. The 2020 amount also includes a $0.5 million adjustment to reduce the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities. See Note 13 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information related to the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration.

(e)Amounts include expenses related to other initiatives not described above, which relate primarily to integration and operational initiatives to reduce future costs and improve efficiencies. The 2021 and 2020 amounts primarily include severance, information technology systems conversion expenses, expenses incurred in connection with the Customer Bankruptcy, and expenses related to the restructuring of certain legal entities of the Company.

Refer to Note 8 “Other Operating Expenses” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding these initiatives.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense consists primarily of cash interest and debt related charges, such as amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount. For the first quarter of 2021, interest expense decreased $1.8 million, versus the comparable 2020 period, primarily from a decrease in cash interest due to lower amount of debt outstanding and lower interest rates. The weighted average interest rates on outstanding borrowings for the three months ended April 2, 2021 was 3.92%, compared to 4.28% for the comparable period in 2020. The weighted average interest rate paid in 2021 reflects decreases in LIBOR.

Debt related charges included in interest expense were $1.4 million during first quarter of 2021 compared to $1.0 million during the same period in 2020, primarily attributable to higher accelerated write-offs (losses from extinguishment of debt) of deferred issuance costs and unamortized discounts related to prepayments of portions of our Term Loan B facility. We had $0.3 million of losses from extinguishment of debt during the first quarter of 2021 compared to no losses in the first quarter of of 2020. See Note 6 “Debt” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information pertaining to our debt.

As of April 2, 2021, approximately 22% of our principal amount of debt has been converted to fixed-rate borrowings with interest rate swaps, in comparison to approximately 27% as of December 31, 2020. We enter into interest rate swap agreements in order to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in the LIBOR rate. See Note 13 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information pertaining to our interest rate swap agreements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(Gain) Loss on Equity Investments

During the first quarter of 2021, we recognized a loss on equity investments of $1.3 million, compared to a gain of $1.9 million during the first quarter of 2020. Gains and losses on equity investments are generally unpredictable in nature. The amounts for both 2021 and 2020 relate to our share of equity method investee gains/losses including unrealized appreciation of the underlying interests of the investee. As of April 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of our equity investments were $25.9 million and $27.2 million, respectively. See Note 13 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for further details regarding these investments.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net for the first quarter of 2021 was $0.2 million, compared to $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2020. Other income, net primarily includes gains/losses from the impact of exchange rates on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our foreign currency transaction gains/losses are based primarily on fluctuations of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro, Mexican peso, Uruguayan peso, Malaysian ringgits, or Israeli shekel.

The impact of exchange rates on transactions denominated in foreign currencies included in Other income, net for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020 were gains of $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. We continually monitor our foreign currency exposures and seek to take steps to mitigate these risks. However, fluctuations in exchange rates could have a significant impact, positive or negative, on our financial results in the future.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recognized income tax expense of $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2020 on $25.0 million of income before taxes (effective tax rate of 13.8%), compared to income tax expense of $5.5 million on $36.6 million of income before taxes (effective tax rate of 15.1%) for the same period of 2020. There is a potential for volatility in our effective tax rate due to several factors including changes in the mix of pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which it relates, changes in tax laws and foreign tax holidays, business reorganizations, and settlements with taxing authorities and foreign currency fluctuations. We currently have various tax planning initiatives in place and continuously evaluate planning strategies aimed at reducing our effective tax rate over the long term. This includes strategies to realize deferred tax assets that would otherwise expire unutilized.

Our effective tax rate for 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due principally to the net impact of the Company’s earnings outside the U.S., which are generally taxed at rates that differ from the U.S federal rate, the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax, the availability of tax credits, and discrete tax benefits. The discrete tax benefits for 2021 are predominately related to excess tax benefits recognized upon vesting of RSUs or exercise of stock options.

Our earnings outside the U.S. are generally taxed at blended rates that are marginally lower than the U.S. federal rate. The GILTI provisions require us to include foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of a deemed return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets in our U.S. income tax return. The foreign jurisdictions in which we operate and where our foreign earnings are primarily derived, include Switzerland, Mexico, Uruguay, Malaysia and Ireland. While we are not currently aware of any material trends in these jurisdictions that are likely to impact our current or future tax expense, our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower effective tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries where we have higher effective tax rates, or by changes in tax laws or regulations. We regularly assess any significant exposure associated with increases in tax rates in international jurisdictions and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant adjustment to our tax provisions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


(dollars in thousands)	April 2, 2021		December 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	28,402	$	49,206
Working capital	$	247,686	$	256,746
Current ratio	2.53		2.64

Cash and cash equivalents at April 2, 2021 decreased by $20.8 million from December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of financing activity cash payments in the quarter totaling $49.6 million, mainly from an accelerated debt payment, partially offset by cash generated by operating activities of $36.4 million.

Working capital decreased by $9.1 million from December 31, 2020, primarily from fluctuations in cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable aggregating to $31.6 million which were partially offset by positive working capital fluctuations associated with accounts receivable and accrued expenses aggregating to $16.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents decreased primarily from accelerated debt payments in the first quarter of 2021 while accounts payable increased mainly from the timing of supplier payments. Accounts receivable increased in the first quarter of 2021 mainly from higher sequential sales while accrued expenses decreased primarily from the payment of accrued incentive compensation.

At April 2, 2021, $10.0 million of our cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries. We intend to limit our distributions from foreign subsidiaries to previously taxed income or current period earnings. If distributions are made utilizing current period earnings, we will record foreign withholding taxes in the period of the distribution.

Summary of Cash Flow


	Three Months Ended
(in thousands)	April 2, 2021		April 3, 2020
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	36,429	$	32,397
Investing activities	(7,645)		(23,592)
Financing activities	(49,562)		15,162
Effect of foreign currency exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents	(26)		(243)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(20,804)	$	23,724

Operating Activities – During the first three months of 2021, we generated cash from operations of $36.4 million, compared to $32.4 million for the first three months of 2020. The increase of $4.0 million was due to an increase of $5.9 million in cash flow provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities, offset by a decrease of $1.9 million in net income adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization.

The increase in cash flow provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities is the result of the decline in the build of accounts receivable and contract assets compared with the prior year period, mainly due to lower sales and a discrete benefit in the prior year from the signing of a customer contract on existing business, and lower accrued incentive compensation payments in the current period. These favorable impacts were partially offset with accounts payable fluctuations based on timing of supplier payments. The decrease in net income adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization is primarily from lower sales, which was mostly offset by lower operating expenses, interest expense, and income tax expense.

Investing Activities – The $15.9 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to decreased purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $7.3 million, intangible assets of $3.5 million, and cash paid of $5.2 million for the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities from InoMec Ltd. in the first quarter of 2020.

Financing Activities – Net cash used in financing activities for first three months of 2021, was $49.6 million compared to $15.2 million provided by financing activities for the first three months of 2020. Financing activities during the first three months of 2021 primarily included payments of $45.4 million, compared to net borrowings of $15.6 million for the comparable 2020 period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Capital Structure – As of April 2, 2021, our capital structure consists of $687 million of debt, net of deferred debt issuance costs and unamortized discounts, outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and 33 million shares of common stock outstanding. We continue to have access to $193.3 million of borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility, available for normal course of business and letters of credit. We are also authorized to issue up to 100 million shares of common stock and 100 million shares of preferred stock. As of April 2, 2021, our contractual debt service obligations for the remainder of 2021, consisting of principal and interest on our outstanding debt, are estimated to be approximately $45 million. Actual principal and interest payments may be higher if, for instance, the applicable interest rates on our Senior Secured Credit Facilities increase, we borrow additional amounts on our Revolving Credit Facility, or we pay principal amounts in excess of the required minimums reflected in the contractual debt service obligations above.

Based on current expectations, we believe that our projected cash flows provided by operations, available cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility are sufficient to meet our working capital, debt service and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. If our future financing needs increase, we may need to arrange additional debt or equity financing. We continually evaluate and consider various financing alternatives to enhance or supplement our existing financial resources, including our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. However, we cannot be assured that we will be able to enter into any such arrangements on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused disruption in the capital markets, could make any such financing more difficult and/or expensive.

Credit Facilities - As of April 2, 2021, we had Senior Secured Credit Facilities that consist of (i) a $200 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which had available borrowing capacity of $193.3 million, (ii) a term loan A facility (the “TLA Facility”) with outstanding principal balance of $220 million, and (iii) a term loan B facility (the “TLB Facility”) with outstanding principal balance of $472 million. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities will mature on October 27, 2022. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities include a mandatory prepayment provision customary for credit facilities of its nature.

The Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility contain covenants requiring (A) a maximum total net leverage ratio of 4.75:1.00 subject to a step down to 4.50 to 1.00 for the third fiscal quarter of 2021, and reverting to and remaining at 4.00 to 1.00 beginning with the fourth quarter of 2021 through maturity, and (B) a minimum interest coverage ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) to interest expense of 3.0:1.0. Additionally, the total net leverage ratio can be increased by 0.50 for up to four consecutive quarters commencing in any fiscal quarter in which we consummate an Eligible Adjustment Acquisition (as defined in the Amendment) with a $40 million or greater purchase price. As of April 2, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants. The TLB Facility does not contain any financial maintenance covenants. As of April 2, 2021, our total net leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with our Senior Secured Credit Facilities agreement, was approximately 3.2 to 1.0. For the twelve month period ended April 2, 2021, our ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense, calculated in accordance with our Senior Secured Credit Facilities agreement, was approximately 6.8 to 1.0.

Failure to comply with these financial covenants would result in an event of default as defined under the Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility unless waived by the lenders. An event of default may result in the acceleration of our indebtedness. As a result, management believes that compliance with these covenants is material to us. As of April 2, 2021, our adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) would have to decline by approximately $70 million, or approximately 33%, in order for us to not be in compliance with our financial covenants.

See Note 6 “Debt” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for a further information on the Company’s outstanding debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In the normal course of business, we evaluate all new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, Securities and Exchange Commission, or other authoritative accounting bodies to determine the potential impact they may have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information about these recently issued accounting standards and their potential impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations during the quarter ended April 2, 2021 as compared to those disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Making estimates, assumptions and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Management believes the estimates, assumptions and judgments employed and resulting balances reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ materially.

There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
