NOTES TO INTERIM

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(1)                   Basis of Presentation

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of UFP Technologies, Inc. (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, 2012, included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods.

 

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- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

 

(2)                   Supplemental Cash Flow Information

 

Cash paid for interest and income taxes is as follows:

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, the Company permitted the exercise of stock options with exercise proceeds paid with the Company’s stock (“cashless” exercises) totaling $224,880 and $125,799, respectively.

 

(3)                   Fair Value Accounting

 

The Company has other financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, which are stated at carrying amounts that approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.  The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the debt approximates the estimated borrowing rate currently available to the Company.

 

(4)                   Share-Based Compensation

 

Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

 

The Company issues share-based payments through several plans that are described in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The compensation cost charged against income for those plans is as follows:

The total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income for share-based compensation arrangements was approximately $58,000 and $55,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively, and approximately $215,000 and $227,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

On March 31, 2013, the Company granted to certain employees options for the purchase of 60,000 shares of its common stock at that day’s closing price of $18.85. On June 12, 2013, the Company granted to its directors options for the purchase of 7,362 shares of common stock at that day’s closing price of $19.08. On September 12, 2013, the Company granted to a certain employee options for the purchase of 30,000 shares of common stock at that day’s closing price of $21.67. The compensation expense for the above noted grants was determined as the fair value of the options using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:

 

Expected volatility

34.0% - 50.0%

Expected dividends

none

Risk free interest rate

0.4% - 0.7%

Expected term

3.3 to 5.0 years

 

The stock volatility for each grant is determined based on a review of the experience of the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s common stock over the expected option term, and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, was $5.84.

 

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, the total intrinsic value of all options exercised (i.e., the difference between the market price on the exercise date and the price paid by the employees to exercise the options) was $2,070,527 and $2,028,138, respectively, and the total amount of consideration received from the exercised options was $334,475 and $491,036, respectively.

 

During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, the Company recognized compensation expenses related to stock options granted to directors and employees of $40,178 and $18,186, respectively.  During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, the Company recognized compensation expenses related to stock options granted to directors and employees of $165,384 and $115,809, respectively.

(7)                   Income Per Share

 

Basic income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.  Diluted income per share is based upon the weighted average of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during each period.

 

The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted net income per share consisted of the following:

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock options, when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related options during the period. These outstanding stock awards are not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the effect would have been antidilutive.  For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation was 71,546 and 88,908, respectively.  For the same three- and nine-month periods in 2012, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation was 10,000 and 17,700, respectively.

 

(8)                   Segment Reporting

 

The Company is organized based on the nature of the products and services it offers.  Under this structure, the Company produces products within two distinct segments: Engineered Packaging and Component Products.  Within the Engineered Packaging segment, the Company primarily uses polyethylene and polyurethane foams, sheet plastics, and pulp fiber to provide customers with protective cushion packaging for their products.  Within the Component Products segment, the Company primarily uses cross-linked polyethylene and technical urethane foams to provide customers in the medical, aerospace, defense and automotive markets with custom-designed products for numerous purposes.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on operating income.

 

Inter-segment transactions are uncommon and not material.  Therefore, they have not been reflected separately in the financial table below.  Revenues from customers outside of the United States are not material.  No customer comprised more than 5% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013.  All of the Company’s assets are located in the United States.  Unallocated assets consist of the Company’s cash balance.

(10)              Income Taxes

 

The income tax expense included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of income principally relates to the Company’s proportionate share of the pre-tax income of its majority-owned subsidiaries.  The determination of income tax expense for interim reporting purposes is based upon the estimated effective tax rate for the year, adjusted for the impact of any discrete items which are accounted for in the period in which they occur.

 

The Company recorded a tax expense of approximately 35.0% of income before income tax expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to a tax expense of approximately 36.0% for the comparable three-month period in 2012.  The Company recorded a tax expense of approximately 33.9% of income before income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to a tax

expense of approximately 36.0% for the comparable nine-month period in 2012. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, includes a discrete event for a retroactive application for a 2012 research and development credit. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was passed by Congress and signed into law on January 1, 2013. The provisions under this law are to be applied retroactively to January 1, 2012. As a result of the law being signed on January 1, 2013, the financial impact of the retroactive provision was recorded as a discrete event in the first quarter of 2013. The Company recorded a reduction to tax expense in the first quarter of 2013 by $135,000. Excluding this discrete event, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was 35.0%.

Overview

 

Using foams, plastics, composites, and natural fiber materials, UFP Technologies designs and manufactures a vast range of solutions primarily for the medical, aerospace, defense, automotive, and packaging markets.

 

The Company incurred a 1.3% decline in year-to-date organic sales (total sales less sales at PAC) through September 30, 2013, compared to the comparable period in 2012, largely due to a significant decline in sales to the military market due to government cuts in defense spending.  This decline was partially offset by strong sales to the medical market.  The Company achieved a 2.7% increase in net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to the comparable period in 2012, primarily driven by sales to the medical market, partially offset by the decline in organic sales and approximately $150,000 in one-time costs incurred in integrating the PAC operations and absorbing the beauty business in El Paso, Texas.  A positive book of business generated improved gross margins that helped generate an 11.2% increase in net income for the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012.  The Company considers the acquisition of PAC and the closure of its Ventura, California, plant and move of its business to other UFP plants as key strategic investments that it expects will continue to benefit future periods.

 

The Company’s current strategy includes organic growth and growth through strategic acquisitions.

 

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, the sales and operating income for each of the Company’s operating segments fluctuated as follows:

The increase in sales in the Component Products segment was primarily due to $7.9 million in sales from the newly acquired PAC operations in Costa Mesa, California.  Excluding these sales, Component Product sales were down approximately 5.7% largely due to weakness in sales to the military market due to cuts in government spending.  This decrease is the primary cause of the decline in segment operating income.

 

The increase in sales in the Engineered Packaging segment was primarily due to an increase in sales of molded fiber packaging due to continued demand for environmentally friendly packaging and the Company’s recent addition of capacity.   This sales increase coupled with efficiency improvements made in the Company’s foam packaging plants were the primary cause of the increase in Engineered Packaging segment operating income.

 

Details regarding the Company’s segment results of operations are described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

 

Sales

 

Sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, increased approximately 8.6% to $34.7 million from sales of $32.0 million for the same period in 2012.  Sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, increased approximately 6.8% to $104.2 million from sales of $97.6 million for the same period in 2012.  Sales for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, at the Company’s newly acquired PAC operations in Costa Mesa, California, were approximately $2.5 million and $7.9 million, respectively.  Absent these sales the Company’s sales increased approximately 0.7% and decreased approximately 1.3% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively.  The increase in sales for the three-month period ended

Table of Contents

 

September 30, 2013, was primarily due to an increase in sales to the medical market of approximately $2.8 million largely due to sales to this market from PAC (Component Products segment) as well as an increase in sales of molded fiber packaging (Engineered Packaging segment) of approximately $1.3 million, partially offset by a decline in sales to the aerospace and defense market of approximately $2.2 million due largely to cuts in government spending (both the Component Products and Engineered Packaging segments).  The increase in sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, was primarily due to an increase in sales to the medical market of approximately $9.8 million largely due to sales to this market from PAC (Component Products segment) as well as an increase in sales of molded fiber packaging (Engineered Packaging segment) of approximately $2.1 million, partially offset by declines in sales to the aerospace and defense market (both the Component Products and Engineered Packaging segments) and the automotive market (Component Products segment) of approximately $4.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively.  The decline in year-to-date automotive sales largely reflects customer plant shutdowns at the beginning of the year.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit as a percentage of sales (“gross margin”) increased to 29.3% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, from 28.9% in the same period in 2012.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased slightly to 28.6% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, from 28.8% in the same period in 2012. The increase in gross margin for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, is primarily due to a favorable mix of business.  As a percentage of sales, material and labor collectively declined 0.6% while overhead increased 0.2% (both the Component Products and Engineered Packaging segments). The slight decrease in gross margin for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, is primarily due to a decline in organic sales; as a percentage of sales overhead increased 0.7% (both the Component Products and Engineered Packaging segments).

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased approximately $0.5 million or 10.1% to $5.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, from $5.2 million for the same period in 2012.  SG&A increased approximately $1.6 million or 10.2% to $17.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, from $16.1 million for the same period in 2012.  The increase in SG&A for both periods is primarily due to SG&A of the acquired PAC operations (Component Products segment).  In the absence of SG&A incurred at PAC, SG&A increased approximately $7,400 and $136,800 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively, primarily due to normal inflationary increases.

 

As a percentage of sales, SG&A increased to 16.4% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, from 16.1% for the same three-month period in 2012.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A increased to 17.0% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, from 16.5% for the same nine-month period of 2012.  The increase in SG&A as a percentage of sales for both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, is primarily due to the relatively fixed nature of SG&A expenses measured against organic sales declines.

 

Other Expenses

 

The Company had net interest expense of approximately $43,000 and $14,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively.  The Company had net interest expense of approximately $128,000 and $43,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively.  The increase in interest expense for the periods ended September 30, 2013, is primarily due to lower net interest earned on cash and incremental term loans taken by the Company in the second half of 2012 to finance certain Molded Fiber equipment.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded a tax expense of approximately 35.0% of income before income tax expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to a tax expense of approximately 36.0% for the comparable three-month period in 2012.  The Company recorded a tax expense of approximately 33.9% of income before income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to a tax expense of approximately 36.0% for the comparable nine-month period in 2012.  The decrease in the effective income tax rate for both periods ended September 30, 2013, is primarily due to an expected research and development tax credit the in the Company’s 2012 tax returns, that was not reflected in the 2012 operating results because the R&D tax credits had expired as of December 31, 2012, but were extended by legislation passed in 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company funds its operating expenses, capital requirements, and growth plan through internally generated cash and bank credit facilities.

 

At September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, the Company’s working capital was approximately $57.0 million and $51.3 million, respectively.  The increase in working capital for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, is primarily due to an increase in cash of $4.7 million generated through operating income, an increase in inventory of approximately $0.2 million primarily due to the timing of raw material purchases, an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $0.3 million primarily due to the prepayment of insurance premiums, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $2.3 million due to payments for 2012 year-end bonuses, annual profit sharing contributions and certain income tax payments, and due to the timing of payments of vendor invoices in the ordinary course of business.. These increases to working capital were partially offset by a reduction in refundable income taxes of approximately $1.7 million, which was the result of the application of 2012 income tax overpayments to our 2013 liability.

 

Net cash provided by operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, was approximately $11.5 million, primarily due to net income of approximately $7.9 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $3.0 million, and share-based compensation of approximately $0.7 million, offset by the net working capital increases noted above.

 

Cash used in investing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, was approximately $5.6 million and was primarily the result of additions of manufacturing machinery and equipment.

 

Cash used in financing activities was approximately $1.2 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, representing cash used to service term debt of approximately $1.2 million and to pay statutory withholding for restricted stock units vested of approximately $1.0 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of term debt of approximately $0.6 million and net proceeds from the exercise of stock options of approximately $0.3 million.

 

The Company maintains a credit facility with Bank of America, NA.  The facility comprises: (i) a revolving credit facility of $17 million; (ii) a term loan of $2.1 million with a seven-year straight line amortization; (iii) a mortgage loan of $1.8 million with a 20-year straight line amortization; and (iv) a mortgage loan of $4.0 million with a 20-year straight line amortization.  Extensions of credit under the revolving credit facility are based in part upon accounts receivable and inventory levels.  Therefore, the entire $17 million may not be available to the Company.  At September 30, 2013, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and availability of approximately $16.9 million, based upon collateral levels as of that date.  The credit facility calls for interest of LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.0% to 1.5% or, at the option of the Company, the bank’s prime rate less a margin that ranges from 0.25% to zero.  In both cases the applicable margin is dependent upon Company performance.  The loans are collateralized by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s assets, including its real estate located in Georgetown, Massachusetts, and in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Under the credit facility, the Company is subject to a minimum fixed charge coverage financial covenant with which it was in compliance at September 30, 2013.  The Company’s $17 million revolving credit facility matures November 30, 2013, and the term loans are due January 29, 2016.  The interest rate on these facilities was approximately 1.2% at September 30, 2013. The Company is in the final stages of securing a new $40 million, unsecured credit facility with Bank of America, though it cannot assure that the new facility will be completed on favorable terms or on a timely basis, if at all.

 

The Company entered a loan agreement with US Bank Equipment Finance to finance the purchase of two molded fiber machines, both of which are operational.  The annual interest rate is fixed at 1.83%.  As of September 30, 2013, the outstanding balance is approximately $4.1 million.  The loan will be repaid over a five-year term.  The loan is secured by the related molded fiber machines.

 

Throughout 2013, the Company plans to continue to add capacity to enhance operating efficiencies in its manufacturing plants.  The Company may consider additional acquisitions of companies, technologies, or products that are complementary to its business.  The Company believes that its existing resources, including its revolving credit facility, together with cash generated from operations and funds expected to be available to it through any necessary equipment financing and additional bank borrowings, will be sufficient to fund its cash flow requirements, including capital asset acquisitions, through the next twelve months.

The Company requires cash to pay its operating expenses, purchase capital equipment, and to service the obligations listed above.  The Company’s principal sources of funds are its operations and its revolving credit facility.  Although the Company generated cash from operations during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, it cannot guarantee that its operations will generate cash in future periods.

 

The Company had no off balance sheet arrangements during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, other than operating leases.

 

ITEM 3:                                   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The following discussion of the Company’s market risk includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties.  Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.  Market risk represents the risk of changes in value of a financial instrument caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices.  At September 30, 2013, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of bank accounts in U.S. dollars, and their valuation would not be affected by market risk.  The Company has several debt instruments where interest is based upon either the prime rate or LIBOR and, therefore, future operations could be affected by interest rate changes.  However, the Company believes that the market risk of the debt is minimal.

 

ITEM 4:                                   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)).  Based upon that evaluation, they concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

 

There has been no 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.
