NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2015 annual report and the notes thereto.

 

2.Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Business Description

 

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

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company grants credit to substantially all of its customers and carries its accounts receivable at original invoice amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to approximately $80,000 at September 30, 2016 and $88,000 at December 31, 2015. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or net realizable value. Cost includes all costs incurred to bring each product to its present location and condition. Market provisions in respect of lower of cost or market adjustments and inventory expected to be used in greater than one year are applied to the gross value of the inventory through a reserve of approximately $1,443,000 and $1,429,000 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Pre-production and start-up costs are expensed as incurred.

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The purchase of suppliers’ minimum economic quantities of material such as steel, etc. may result in a purchase of quantities exceeding one year of customer requirements. Also, in order to maintain a reasonable and/or agreed to lead time, certain larger quantities of other product support items may have to be purchased and may result in over one year’s supply.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

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

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

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

 

In 2015, the Company’s CPG received approximately $700,000 in County and State grants that were used towards the purchase of machinery and equipment. The Company recorded the grant proceeds as a reduction to the carrying value of the related assets. See Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, for more information related to the facility expansion and subject grants.

 

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

 

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

 

Income Taxes

 

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

 

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

 

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

 

Income taxes paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 amounted to approximately $644,000 and $136,000. Interest paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 amounted to approximately $54,000 and $60,000, respectively.

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

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

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable based on undiscounted future operating cash flow analyses. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal. The Company has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets existed at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

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

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

 

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

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which amends the current stock compensation guidance. The amendments simplify the accounting for the taxes related to stock based compensation, including adjustments to how excess tax benefits and a company’s payments for tax withholdings should be classified. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On April 11, 2016, the Company issued 51,000 shares of restricted stock to Executive Officers and certain key management of the Company under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The restricted share awards have varying vesting periods between January 2017 and January 2018; however, these shares have voting rights and accrue dividends prior to vesting. The aggregate amount of expense to the Company, measured based on grant date fair value is expected to be approximately $406,000 and will be recognized over the requisite service period.

 

Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is approximately $386,000 and $271,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the restricted share awards.

 

On January 1, 2016, 41,250 shares of restricted stock vested of which 17,335 shares were withheld and repurchased by the Company for approximately $145,000 to satisfy statutory minimum withholding tax requirements for those participants who elected this option as permitted under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

 

On March 14, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.15 per share cash dividend. The dividend was subsequently paid on May 16, 2016 to shareholders of record on April 11, 2016 and was approximately $380,000 in the aggregate. These dividends do not represent that the Company will pay dividends on a regular or scheduled basis. The amount is recorded as a reduction to retained earnings on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

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

The Company considers the risk of loss remote, and is unable to reasonably or accurately estimate the likelihood and amount of any liability or benefit that may be realized as a result of this litigation. Accordingly, no gain or loss has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements related to this litigation.

 

Final Arbitration Award. As previously disclosed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in the first quarter of 2015 the Company paid a former Executive Officer of the Company (the “Former Employee”) an arbitration award in connection with the termination of the Former Employee’s employment agreement. The Company is also expected to pay post employment health related benefits for the Former Employee, of which approximately $471,000 has been accrued as of September 30, 2016 and is reflected as Accrued Arbitration Award Liability in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

Agreement with respect to Insurance Claim. As previously disclosed, the Company received $4,500,000 in the first quarter of 2015 from the carrier related to the Company’s claim for insurance for damages the Company suffered in connection with the above arbitration proceeding. The insurance carrier also paid under the policy partial attorney fees incurred by the Company in defense of the arbitration. The Company recorded the benefit from this agreement during the first quarter of 2015.

 

Facility Expansion. As previously disclosed, the Company has commenced a multi-year investment plan designed to consolidate the operations of the CPG. The five year plan included the construction of an approximate 28,000 square foot addition, capital improvements to the existing plant, the reconfiguration of its production process within the expanded facility, and the addition of new state of the art knife-making equipment. The Company broke ground in the second quarter of 2014 and is now manufacturing in the newly constructed facility.

8.Litigation

 

Except as set forth in Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, there are no other legal proceedings currently pending by or against the Company other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business which is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or earnings of the Company.

 

9.Business Segments

 

The Company operates in two business segments, Advanced Technology Group (“ATG”) and Consumer Products Group (“CPG”). The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The segments are composed of separate corporations and are managed separately. Operations in ATG primarily involve the design, manufacture, and marketing of servo-control components (i.e., torque motors, control valves, actuators, etc.) for government, commercial and industrial applications. CPG’s operations involve the design, manufacture and marketing of a variety of cutlery products for use by consumers and government agencies. The Company derives its primary sales revenue from domestic customers, although a portion of finished products are for foreign end use.

 

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had identifiable assets of approximately $36,130,000 ($34,374,000 – December 31, 2015) of which approximately $24,211,000 ($22,789,000 – December 31, 2015) was for ATG and approximately $11,919,000 ($11,585,000 – December 31, 2015) was for CPG.

10.Other Income

 

Components of other income include interest income on cash and cash equivalents, and other amounts not directly related to the sale of the Company’s products. Other income is immaterial in relationship to the consolidated financial statements.

 

11.Subsequent Events

 

On November 8, 2016 the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a contract to sell unused commercial real property in Franklinville, New York for approximately $180,000. It is anticipated the sale will be completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. Completion of the sale is subject to customary closing conditions. The Company estimates that the gain/loss on the sale will be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

 

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

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 approximately 9% and 11%, respectively, and 10% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 of the Company’s revenues were derived from contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government or their prime contractors and their subcontractors. The Company believes that government involvement in military operations overseas will continue to have an impact on the financial results in both the Advanced Technology and Consumer Products markets. While the Company is optimistic in relation to these potential opportunities, it recognizes that sales to the government are affected by defense budgets, the foreign policies of the U.S. and other nations, the level of military operations and other factors, and as such, it is difficult to predict the impact on future financial results.

 

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

 

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

 

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

Revenue

 

The Company’s consolidated revenues from operations increased approximately $1,586,000 or 5.8% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 and decreased approximately $244,000 or 2.5% for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 when compared to the same periods in 2015. The increase in revenue is the result of increases in commercial shipments at ATG not fully offset by the decrease in commercial and government shipments at CPG.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues decreased from 74.8% to 72.8% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 and increased from 71.0% to 74.4% for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 when compared to the same periods in 2015 due in part to the mix of product sold as well as the realization of implemented operational efficiencies attributed to increased production volumes for in-house and outsourced operations. Total employment levels grew from 297 employees at September 30, 2015 to 317 at September 30, 2016. The increase in employees is in response to an increase in production capacity requirements at ATG as evidenced by an increase of 23% in the value of purchase orders placed when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to the same period of 2015. The Company continues to pursue cost saving opportunities in material procurements and other operating efficiencies including capital investments and technical developments in updated and new equipment/machinery as well as investing in the development and training of its labor force.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased approximately $252,000 or 5.5% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 and increased approximately $172,000 or 11.6% for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 when compared to the same periods in 2015. Approximately 65% of SG&A expense relates to labor and labor related expense to support SG&A functions. Such expenses increased approximately $136,000 primarily due to an increase in salaries, wages and employee benefit costs for new and existing employees. Approximately 12% of SG&A expense is attributable to the sales and marketing of products including commissions and royalty expenses. These expenses increased approximately $122,000 as a result of additional media and catalog advertising and travel opportunities to promote new product development. Approximately 9% of SG&A expense is attributable to professional and legal services, such expenses decreased approximately $28,000 primarily due to a reduction in legal expenses associated with the previously disclosed arbitration proceedings with a Former Employee.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

 

Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $85,000 or 16.2% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 and increased approximately $13,000 or 7.0% for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 when compared to the same periods in 2015 primarily due to the assets related to the CPG expansion and renovation being placed in service in late 2015. Depreciation expense fluctuates due to variable estimated useful lives of depreciable property (as identified in Note 2, Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) as well as the amount and nature of capital expenditures in current and previous periods. It is anticipated that the Company’s future capital expenditures and related depreciation and amortization expense will, at a minimum, follow the Company’s requirements to support its manufacturing delivery commitments and to meet certain information technology related capital expenditure requirements. See also Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, for more information on anticipated capital expenditures.

 

 - 17 - 
   

 

Arbitration Award Expense

 

The Company incurred approximately $50,000 in additional interest in the first quarter of 2015 related to an arbitration award finalized on February 23, 2015, prior to payment of the award on March 6, 2015. The Company does not expect to have any further material expenditures related to the arbitration.

 

Insurance Proceeds - Arbitration

 

On February 20, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with its insurance carrier pursuant to which the Company received $4,500,000 from the carrier related to the Company’s claim for insurance for damages the Company suffered in connection with the previously discussed arbitration proceeding. The insurance carrier also paid under the policy partial attorney fees incurred by the Company in defense of the arbitration. The insurance proceeds were used to pay the majority of the arbitration award with the remainder being paid by the Company using cash on hand. See also Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, for more information.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense remained consistent for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2016 when compared to the same periods in 2015. See also Note 5, Long-Term Debt, for information on long-term debt.

 

Other Income

 

Components of other income include interest income on cash and cash equivalents and other amounts not directly related to the sale of the Company’s products. Other income is immaterial in relationship to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 31.0% and 34.0% for the nine month periods and approximately 34.2% and 34.0% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The effective tax rate in both years reflects federal and state income taxes, permanent non-deductible expenditures and the federal tax credit for research and development expenditures.

 

Net Income

 

Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 decreased approximately $2,508,000 and decreased approximately $378,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 when compared to the same periods in 2015. The nine month decrease is the result of the insurance settlement received on February 20, 2015 as discussed in Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, offset by increases in revenues and operating profits in the respective periods. The Company primarily attributes the three month decrease in net income to the decrease in sales and profits at the CPG.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s primary liquidity and capital requirements relate to working capital needs; primarily inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable as well as capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and principal and interest payments on debt. At September 30, 2016, the Company had working capital of approximately $20,796,000 ($19,959,000 – December 31, 2015) of which approximately $2,867,000 ($3,268,000 – December 31, 2015) was comprised of cash and cash equivalents.

 

 - 18 - 
   

 

The Company generated approximately $1,372,000 in cash from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Cash was generated primarily through net income, timing differences in payments to vendors as well as other accrued items. The primary use of cash for the Company’s operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 include working capital requirements, mainly timing differences on collections of accounts receivable, increases in inventory and other current assets. Cash generated and used in operations is consistent with sales volume, customer expectations and competitive pressures. The Company’s primary use of cash in its financing and investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included approximately $410,000 of current principal payments on long-term debt, approximately $380,000 for cash dividends paid on May 16, 2016 as well as approximately $197,000 for the purchase of treasury shares. The Company also expended approximately $786,000 for capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

On December 1, 2014, the Company, entered into a Loan Agreement that provides for a $2,620,000 seven-year term loan (the “Term Loan”) and $2,000,000 line of credit (the “Line of Credit”). The Line of Credit, which replaced the Company’s previous $2,000,000 line of credit, was renewed on May 23, 2016 and is available until June 21, 2017, unless subsequently renewed. As of September 30, 2016, there were no draws on the line. The proceeds from the Term Loan were used to pay off the Industrial Development Revenue Bonds that were issued by a government agency in 1994 to finance the construction of the Company’s headquarters/advanced technology facility and which matured on December 1, 2014. In addition, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The Ontario Knife Company (OKC) also entered into a separate Loan Agreement with the Bank on December 1, 2014. The OKC Loan Agreement provides for a $2,000,000 seven-year term loan (the “OKC Term Loan”). The proceeds from the OKC Term Loan are being used to purchase equipment and expand/renovate the OKC facility in Franklinville, New York.

 

Borrowings under these Credit Facilities bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the Bank’s Prime Rate or LIBOR plus 1.4%. Principal installments are payable on the Term Loan and the OKC Term Loan through December 1, 2021 with a balloon payment of $786,000 at maturity of the Term Loan.

 

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

In addition to historical information, certain sections of this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as those pertaining to the Company’s capital resources and profitability, the timing and amount of payment obligation relating to the arbitration award and the Company’s ability to pay these obligations. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company derives a material portion of its revenues from contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government or their prime contractors. The Company’s business is performed under fixed price contracts and the following factors, among others discussed herein, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: uncertainties in today’s global economy and global competition, and difficulty in predicting defense appropriations, the vitality of the commercial aviation industry and its ability to purchase new aircraft, the willingness and ability of the Company’s customers to fund long-term purchase programs, and market demand and acceptance both for the Company’s products and its customers’ products which incorporate Company-made components. The success of the Company also depends upon the trends of the economy, including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental regulation, legislation, population changes and those risk factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
