PSYCHEMEDICS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.Basis of Presentation

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Psychemedics Corporation (the “Company”) presented herein, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019, the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019, or any other period.

 

Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, or “the Company” refer to Psychemedics Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

2.Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no investments classified as cash equivalents.

 

3.Marketable Securities

 

All investments with original maturities of more than 90 days are considered marketable securities. As of March 31, 2019, the company had one held-to-maturity security (a CD with Bank of America in Brazil) with a maturity of 180 days, ending on April 29, 2019. The CD had an original cost of $4.0 million and a current fair value of $3.9 million.

4.Fair Value Measurements

 

Financial instruments recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, or disclosed at fair value in the footnotes, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value

 

The following table presents the fair value for financial instruments:

 

   Fair Value Measurements Using
   Level 1  Level 2  Level 3
          
As of March 31, 2019               
Marketable securities (CD)  $-   $3,912   $- 
                
As of December 31, 2018               
Marketable securities (CD)  $-   $3,905   $- 

 

Fair values of marketable securities approximate cost due to the short period of time to maturity.

5.Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s 2006 Incentive Plan (“the Plan”) provides for cash-based awards or the grant or issuance of stock-based awards. In January 2019, the Board approved an additional 350 thousand shares available for grant under the Plan, subject to shareholder approval at the 2019 annual meeting. As of March 31, 2019, excluding such additional 350 thousand shares, 77 thousand shares remained available for future grant under the Plan. There were no other changes to the Plan from 2018 as described in the 10-K.

 

Share-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The compensation cost charged against income is included in cost of revenues and operating expenses as follows (in thousands):

 

 
 
 
 
Three Months Ended

Share-based compensation related to:          
Stock option grants  $102   $58 
Restricted Stock Unit awards ("RSUs")   56    77 
Total share-based compensation  $158   $135 

 

There was no income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income for share-based compensation arrangements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is as follows (in thousands except per share amounts):

(1)The aggregate intrinsic value on this table was calculated based on the amount, if any, by which the closing market value of the Company’s stock on March 31, 2019 ($14.03) exceeded the exercise price of the underlying options, multiplied by the number of shares subject to each option.

5.Stock-Based Compensation (cont.)

Cancelled   -           
Forfeited   -           
Outstanding & Unvested, March 31, 2019   19   $18.20   $343 

 

(2)Weighted average price per share is the weighted grant price based on the closing market price of each of the stock grants related to each grant of stock unit awards. The weighted average fair value is the weighted average share price times the number of shares.

 

As of March 31, 2019, a total of 844 thousand shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the Plan, subject to shareholder approval at the 2019 annual meeting. As of March 31, 2019, the unamortized fair value of awards relating to outstanding SUAs and options was $1.0 million, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.

 

6.Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

 

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period was determined in accordance with the treasury-stock method. Common equivalent shares consisted of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and common stock issuable upon the vesting of outstanding, unvested SUAs. Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (in thousands):

 

 
 
 
 
Three Months Ended
March 31,
   2019  2018
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic   5,507    5,492 
Dilutive common equivalent shares   31    64 
Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted   5,538    5,556 

 

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 excludes 274 thousand of stock awards and stock options, because the effect would be antidilutive.

7.Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business. While the ultimate outcome of individual legal claims is inherently unpredictable, we believe that the final resolution of any pending actions will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

 

8.Operating Leases

 

The Company currently has six operating leases for office and laboratory space used to conduct business (one of which is for a data center). The exercise of lease renewal options is at our discretion and the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. We regularly evaluate the renewal options and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, we include the renewal period in our lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments.

 

As of March 31, 2019, the Company recognized a Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) asset with a corresponding operating lease liability of $1.6 million based on the present value of the minimum rental payments as a result of adoption of ASC Topic 842. The weighted average discount rate used for leases as of March 31, 2019 is 4.1%. The weighted average lease term as of March 31, 2019 is 2.1 years. The operating lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $260 thousand.

 

Maturities and balance sheet presentation of our lease liabilities for all operating leases as of March 31, 2019 is as follows (in thousands):

 

2019  $795 
2020   623 
2021   130 
2022   108 
2023   18 
Total Lease Payments   1,674 
Less Interest:   (75)
Present value of lease liabilities  $1,599 
      
Current operating lease liabilities  $950

The weighted average interest rate for all notes related to the Loan Agreement for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was 4.2%, and represented $17 thousand of interest expense as compared to a rate of 3.4% and interest expense of $28 thousand for the comparable period in 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the interest rate was 4.2% and there was $1.5 million of outstanding debt related to the loan. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants as of March 31, 2019.

The Company had two customers that represented 15% and 11% of the total accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2019 and one customer which represented 20% of the total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2018.

 

13.Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01 (collectively, Topic 842). which introduced the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The new standard established a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a lease asset and liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The standard became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019 (see Note 8 – Operating Leases).

 

In August 2018, the SEC issued Release No. 33-10532 that amends and clarifies certain financial reporting requirements. The principal change to our financial reporting will be the inclusion of the annual disclosure requirement of changes in stockholders’ equity to interim periods. We adopted this rule for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

14.Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income” (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform Act) that are stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This standard also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. ASU 2018-02, however, does not change the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations. ASU 2018-02 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2020, with the option to early adopt prior to the effective date. It must be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract”. The FASB issued ASU 2018-15 to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred for an internal-use software license. ASU 2018-15 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2020, with the option to early adopt prior to the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

15.Subsequent Events

 

On April 23, 2019, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share for a total of $991 thousand, which will be paid on May 17, 2019 to shareholders of record on May 7, 2019.

OVERVIEW

 

Revenue for the first quarter of 2019 was $9.8 million compared to $10.9 million in 2018, a decrease of 10%. The Company reported net income of $0.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 versus $1.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share for the same period in 2018, a decrease of 50%. Earnings decrease was primarily attributed to a reduction of international revenue, including the impact of change in exchange rate. The Company distributed $0.9 million or $0.18 per share of cash dividends to its shareholders in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company has paid 90 consecutive quarterly cash dividends.

 

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Revenue decline of 10% noted above consisted of 4% negative impact from foreign currency exchange, 4% decrease in volume (in part due to one less day for the quarter) and 2% impact from decrease of average revenue per sample, primarily as a result of business mix. The domestic business decreased 3%. The international business decreased 24%. The international revenue decrease was driven by foreign currency exchange and lower volume.

 

Gross profit was $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 18%. Direct costs decreased by $0.2 million or 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The gross profit margin was 45% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 49% for the comparable period of 2018. The margin was adversely impacted by foreign currency exchange and lower sales volume as noted above.

 

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. As a percentage of revenue, G&A expenses were 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 17% for the same period in 2018.

 

Marketing and selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $1.1 million compared to $1.2 million for the comparable period of 2018. Total marketing and selling expenses represented 11% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. R&D expenses represented 4% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 3% for the same period in 2018.

 

Provision for income taxes Our provision for income taxes consists primarily of federal and state income taxes in the United Sates and income taxes in Brazil. We estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded tax provisions of $343 thousand and $687 thousand, respectively. These provisions represented effective tax rates of 35% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company currently expects the year-end tax rate to be to be approximately 35%. This rate can fluctuate significantly based on the mix of business and pre-tax income, as Brazil taxes are based on revenue.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $3.2 million of cash and $9.1 million of working capital. The Company's operating activities generated net cash of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Investing activities used $0.1 million of cash while financing activities used $1.1 million of cash during the first three months of 2019.

 

Cash provided by operating activities of $0.4 million reflected net income of $0.6 million adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $765 thousand, stock-based compensation of $158 thousand, a decrease of deferred income taxes of $48 thousand and non-cash interest income of $55 thousand. This was affected by an increase in current assets of $0.4 million and a decrease in current liabilities of $0.6 million.

 

Cash used in investing activities of $0.1 million consisted primarily of costs related to internally developed software. We anticipate spending $0.5 million to $2.0 million in additional capital purchases for the remainder of 2019.

 

Cash used by financing activities of $1.1 million included cash dividends to shareholders of $1.0 million and $0.1 million from payments on long term debt. On April 23, 2019, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share for an estimated total of $991 thousand, which will be paid on May 17, 2019 to shareholders of record on May 7, 2019.

 

Contractual obligations and other commercial commitments as of March 31, 2019 include operating lease commitments and outstanding debt, described in Notes 8 and 9, respectively of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

At March 31, 2019, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included an aggregate of approximately $3.2 million of cash and $3.9 of marketable securities (bank CD).  The Company had $9.1 million and $9.8 million of working capital as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The new lease accounting standard negatively impacted the working capital amount by $1.0 million. Management currently believes that such funds should be adequate to fund anticipated working capital and capital equipment requirements for the next 12 months.   Depending upon the Company's results of operations and capital needs, the Company may use various financing sources to raise additional funds. 

 

Brazilian Distributor Risks and Uncertainties

 

As the Company has previously disclosed, there are greater challenges and uncertainties in a new, large and developing market, such as Brazil. Psychemedics Brasil, our independent distributor in Brazil, has had 55% of its shares acquired by Instituto Hermes Pardini S.A., a provider of medical and diagnostic services in Brazil, including reference laboratory services. We are continuing our discussions with our distributor and its acquirer about the future of our distribution agreement (which either party may terminate upon prior written notice following July 2019), including whether it will be extended, terminated or replaced by a transition agreement for us to continue to sell our drug tests to our current distributor for a period of time. The outcome of these discussions is not certain, and any significant decrease in sales to our distributor would have a materially adverse impact on our business. However, we believe that the overall market demand for drug testing services in Brazil will continue to grow, and it remains uncertain whether the acquirer will have the capacity to supply our distributor with the volume of drug tests that we currently provide, at least in the near term. At the same time, we have also been exploring additional options in Brazil.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report (the “evaluation date”) the Company’s management under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President - Finance concluded as of the evaluation date, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that its disclosure controls and procedures were also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There has been no significant change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
