SYPRIS SOLUTIONS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(1) Nature of Business

Sypris is a diversified provider of outsourced services and specialty products. The Company performs a wide range of manufacturing, engineering, design and other technical services, typically under multi-year, sole-source contracts with corporations and government agencies in the markets for truck components and assemblies and aerospace and defense electronics. The Company provides such services through its Industrial and Electronics Groups (Note 11).

 

(2) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sypris Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Sypris” or the “Company”), and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s operations are domiciled in the United States (U.S.), Mexico and Denmark and service a wide variety of domestic and international customers. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented, and the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2010 as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

(3) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05 which provides new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and instead requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation.

 

(4) Discontinued Operations

On October 26, 2009, the Company sold all of the stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, Sypris Test & Measurement, for $39,000,000, of which $3,000,000 was deposited in an escrow account in connection with certain customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnifications of the Company. During 2010, the Company was made aware of a potential indemnification claim from the purchaser of Sypris Test & Measurement. The Company estimates that its total liability arising from this claim will not exceed $946,000, of which $450,000 was recorded during the first six months of 2011. The Company has paid $196,000 related to the claim as of July 3, 2011. The remaining amount has been reserved in accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. There can be no assurance that similar potential claims will not emerge in the future or that relevant facts and circumstances will not change, necessitating future changes to an estimated liability. This charge is included in discontinued operations, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

(5) Nonrecurring Income

During the six months ended July 3, 2011, the Company recognized a gain of $3,000,000 in connection with a settlement regarding prior year volumes with one of its customers.

 

(6) Restructuring, Impairments and Other Nonrecurring Charges

As announced during the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company committed to a restructuring program, which included the closure of its Kenton, Ohio facility, significant reductions in the workforce in its Marion, Ohio facility and the integration of its Electronics Group subsidiaries. The purpose of the restructuring program is to reduce fixed costs, accelerate integration efficiencies, exit certain unprofitable product lines and significantly improve operating earnings on a sustained basis. As a result of the restructuring program, the Company recorded a charge of $130,000 for the three months ended July 3, 2011 and a gain of $123,000 for the six months ended July 3, 2011, which is included in restructuring expense, net on the consolidated statement of operations. Of the $130,000 charge recorded in the second quarter of 2011, $155,000 was for equipment relocation costs and $87,000 represented other costs, primarily related to mothball costs associated with closed or partially closed facilities. Partially offsetting this was a $112,000 gain on the sale of assets that had previously been impaired. The gain of $123,000 for the six months ended July 3, 2011 consisted of a $493,000 gain on the sale of assets that had previously been impaired partially offset by equipment relocation costs and mothball costs.

On March 3, 2006, the Company’s largest customer, Dana Corporation (“Dana”), and 40 of its U.S. subsidiaries, filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 7, 2007, the Company entered into a comprehensive settlement agreement with Dana (the “Settlement Agreement”) to resolve all outstanding disputes between the parties, terminate previously approved arbitration payments and replace three existing supply agreements with a single, revised contract running through 2014. In addition, Dana provided the Company with an allowed general unsecured non-priority claim in the face amount of $89,900,000 (the “Claim”).

The Claim provided to Sypris was agreed to by Sypris and Dana as consideration for the aggregate economic impact of the various elements the two parties were negotiating. After the aggregate Claim value of $89,900,000 was established, Sypris recorded the claim at the estimated fair value of $76,483,000 and allocated the estimated fair value to each commercial issue negotiated. The revenues and resulting net income associated with each of those issues requiring the Company’s continued involvement was deferred and will be recognized over the applicable period of the involvement. For the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, the Company recognized into revenue $3,442,000 and $3,056,000, respectively, related to the Claim.

The Claim entitles the Company to participate in distributions of Dana common stock if certain disputed matters are ultimately resolved for less than Dana’s reserves for those matters. At July 3, 2011, the Company’s right to participate in additional distributions, presently estimated to be 87,000 shares, is carried at $64,000 in other assets. Had these shares been received at July 3, 2011, the Company would have recorded a $1,551,000 unrealized holding gain to other comprehensive loss.

 

(8) Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Restricted stock granted by the Company is considered a participating security since it contains a non-forfeitable right to dividends.

Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our stock options and restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period. There were 586,000 potential common shares excluded from diluted earnings per share for the six months ended July 3, 2011. All potential common shares were excluded from earnings per share for the three months ended July 3, 2011 and the three and six months ended July 4, 2010, because the effect of inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

On May 12, 2011, the Company entered into a new credit facility (Credit Facility) providing total availability up to $50,000,000 that supports short-term funding needs and letters of credit, which replaced the Company’s Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior Notes scheduled to expire in January 2012. Loans made under the Credit Facility will mature and the commitments thereunder will terminate in May 2016. The Credit Facility provides for an option, subject to certain conditions, to increase total availability to $60,000,000 in the future. Borrowing availability under the Credit Facility is determined by a monthly borrowing base collateral calculation that is based on specified percentages of the value of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment, less certain reserves and subject to certain other adjustments.

Obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of our U.S. subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all assets of the Company.

The Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, prepay other indebtedness, modify organizational documents and certain other agreements, create restrictions affecting subsidiaries, make dividends and other restricted payments, create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, change the nature of our business and engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

 

(11) Segment Data

The Company is organized into two business groups, the Industrial Group and the Electronics Group. The segments are each managed separately because of the distinctions between products, services, markets, customers, technologies and workforce skills of the segments. The Industrial Group provides manufacturing services for a variety of customers that outsource forged and finished steel components and subassemblies. The Industrial Group also manufactures high-pressure closures and other fabricated products. The Electronics Group provides manufacturing and technical services as an outsourced service provider and manufactures complex data storage systems. There was no intersegment net revenue recognized in any of the periods presented.

(12) Commitments and Contingencies

The provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. The Company’s warranty liability, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets, as of July 3, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $914,000 and $866,000, respectively. The Company’s warranty expense for the six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010 was $187,000 and $240,000, respectively.

Additionally, the Company sells three and five-year extended warranties for one of its link encryption products. The revenue from the extended warranties is deferred and recognized ratably over the contractual term. As of July 3, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had deferred $2,233,000 and $2,076,000, respectively, related to extended warranties.

The Company bears insurance risk as a member of a group captive insurance entity for certain general liability, automobile and workers’ compensation insurance programs and a self-insured employee health program. The Company records estimated liabilities for its insurance programs based on information provided by the third-party plan administrators, historical claims experience, expected costs of claims incurred but not paid, and expected costs to settle unpaid claims. The Company monitors its estimated insurance-related liabilities on a quarterly basis. As facts change, it may become necessary to make adjustments that could be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The Company believes that its present insurance coverage and level of accrued liabilities are adequate.

The Company is involved in certain litigation and contract issues arising in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot, at this time, be predicted in light of the uncertainties inherent therein, management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

As of July 3, 2011, the Company had outstanding purchase commitments of approximately $5,471,000, primarily for the acquisition of inventory and manufacturing equipment. As of July 3, 2011, the Company also had outstanding letters of credit of $990,000 primarily under the aforementioned captive insurance program.

 

(13) Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate varies from period to period due to the proportion of foreign and domestic pre-tax income expected to be generated by the Company. The Company provides for income taxes for its domestic operations at a statutory rate of 35% and for its foreign operations at a statutory rate of 30% in 2011 and 2010. The Company’s foreign

 

10


operations are also subject to minimum income taxes in periods where positive cash flows exceed taxable income. Reconciling items between the federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate also include state income taxes, valuation allowances and certain other permanent differences.

The Company recognizes liabilities or assets for the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. These temporary differences will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of assets or liabilities are recovered or settled. ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company evaluates its deferred tax position on a quarterly basis and valuation allowances are provided as necessary. During this evaluation, the Company reviews its forecast of income in conjunction with other positive and negative evidence surrounding the realizability of its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is needed. Based on the current forecast, the Company has established a valuation allowance against the domestic net deferred tax asset. Until an appropriate level and characterization of profitability is attained, the Company expects to continue to maintain a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to future U.S. and certain non-U.S. tax benefits.

(16) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at their carrying amount which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of debt outstanding at July 3, 2011 under the Credit Facility approximates fair value because borrowings are for terms of less than six months and have rates that reflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt.

 

(17) Subsequent Event

On August 1, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain idle machinery and equipment for an anticipated gain of approximately $3,500,000. The Company expects to complete the sale on or before September 9, 2011.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a diversified provider of outsourced services and specialty products. We perform a wide range of manufacturing, engineering, design and other technical services, typically under multi-year, sole-source contracts with corporations and government agencies principally in the markets for industrial manufacturing and aerospace and defense electronics.

We focus on those markets where we have the expertise, qualifications and leadership position to sustain a competitive advantage. We target our resources to support the needs of industry leaders that embrace multi-year contractual relationships as a strategic component of their supply chain management. These contracts, many of which are sole-source by part number and are for terms of up to five years, enable us to invest in leading-edge processes or technologies to help our customers remain competitive. The productivity, flexibility and economies of scale that can result offer an important opportunity for differentiating ourselves from the competition when it comes to cost, quality, reliability and customer service.

Results of Operations

We operate in two business segments, the Industrial Group and the Electronics Group. The tables presented below, which compare our segment and consolidated results for the three and six month periods of operations of 2011 to 2010, present the results for each period, the change in those results from 2011 to 2010 in both dollars and percentage change and the results for each period as a percentage of net revenue.

 

   

The first two data columns in each table show the absolute results for each period presented.

 

   

The columns entitled “Year Over Year Change” and “Year Over Year Percentage Change” show the change in results, both in dollars and percentages. These two columns show favorable changes as positive and unfavorable changes as negative. For example, when our net revenue increases from one period to the next, that change is shown as a positive number in both columns. Conversely, when expenses increase from one period to the next, that change is shown as a negative number in both columns.

 

   

The last two columns in each table show the results for each period as a percentage of net revenue. In these two columns, the cost of sales and gross profit for each are given as a percentage of that segment’s net revenue. These amounts are shown in italics.

In addition, as used in the table, “NM” means “not meaningful.”

Net Revenue. The Industrial Group derives its revenue from manufacturing services and product sales. Net revenue in the Industrial Group for the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2011 increased $22.3 million and $37.8 million from the prior year comparable periods, respectively. Increased volumes for medium and heavy duty commercial trucks, light trucks and trailer axles have contributed to increased revenue of approximately $18.9 million and $31.7 million for the three and six month periods, respectively. Manufacturing services for a new commercial vehicle customer contributed to increased revenue of approximately $2.0 million and $3.2 million for the three and six month periods, respectively. Increased volumes for the off-highway business contributed to increased revenue of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and six month periods, respectively. Specialty products contributed to increased revenue of approximately $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three and six month periods, respectively. Increased steel prices, which is contractually passed through to customers under certain contracts, and pricing adjustments also contributed to increased revenue of approximately $1.2 million and $2.3 million for the three and six month periods, respectively.

The Electronics Group derives its revenue from product sales and technical outsourced services. Net revenue in the Electronics Group for the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2011 decreased $0.4 million and $2.9 million from the prior year comparable periods, respectively. The decreases from the prior year are primarily

 

15


due to the completion of several programs within our Electronic Manufacturing and Engineering Services businesses and the mix within our space business. Additionally, the Electronics Group continues to be affected by the delayed approval by Congress of the fiscal 2011 Defense Appropriations Bill, as funds have not yet been fully allocated through the various departments and agencies for program use. Partially offsetting this were increased sales of secured communication and data recording products over the prior year period.

Gross Profit. The Industrial Group’s gross profit increased to $7.1 million and $12.2 million in the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2011, respectively, from $2.3 million and $4.7 million in the prior year comparable periods. The increase in sales volume resulted in an increase of gross profit of approximately $3.7 million and $6.1 million for the three and six month periods, respectively. The Industrial Group also realized an increase in gross profit of $1.4 million and $1.8 million for the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2011, respectively, as a result of productivity improvements. Partially offsetting this was a $0.2 million and $0.4 million cost increase for the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2011, respectively, due to the strengthening of the Mexican Peso.

The Electronics Group’s gross profit decreased $1.3 million and $1.6 million in the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2011, respectively. The decrease in gross profit is primarily a result of additional engineering charges allocated to improvements in our product portfolio and the decline in revenue, particularly in the higher margin Electronic Manufacturing Services business (EMS). The Electronics Group also experienced an increase in its excess and obsolete inventory provision over the prior year period. The Electronics Group’s gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the second quarter decreased to 6.4% and 12.5% for the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2011, respectively from 13.9% and 15.9% for the comparable 2010 periods.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the three and six month periods ended July, 3, 2011, respectively. However, selling, general and administrative expense decreased as a percentage of revenue to 8.0% and 8.5% for the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2011, respectively, as compared to 10.7% and 10.4% for the comparable 2010 periods. The Company has continued to limit increases in controllable general and administrative expenses as revenues have increased in its Industrial Group.

Research and Development. Research and development costs increased $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2011, respectively, in support of the Electronics Group’s self-funded product and technology development activities. Additionally, during the first six months of 2010, engineering efforts were redirected to assist with technical issues with existing products, which have since been resolved.

Nonrecurring Income. During the six months ended July 3, 2011, the Company recognized a gain of $3.0 million in connection with a settlement regarding prior year volumes with one of its customers.

Restructuring Expense. As a result of the Company’s restructuring program, we recorded expense of $0.1 million and a gain of $0.1 million related to these initiatives during the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, respectively. During the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2010, we recorded expense of $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The gain for the six months ended July 3, 2011 consisted of a $0.5 million gain on the sale of assets that had previously been impaired, partially offset by $0.2 million in equipment relocation costs and $0.2 million in other various mothball charges.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2011 increased due to the write-off of $0.3 million in unamortized loan costs and additional fees paid in conjunction with the repayment of our former Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior Notes. Our weighted average debt outstanding increased to $21.5 million and $19.9 million for the three and six month periods of 2011, respectively, from $18.6 million and $18.9 million during the three and six month periods of 2010, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 6.0% and 8.6% for the three and six month periods of 2011, respectively, compared to 9.4% and 9.5% for the three and six month periods of 2010, respectively. The reduction in the weighted average interest rates for the three months ended July 3, 2011 is primarily due to the Company entering into a new credit facility with favorable terms on May 12, 2011.

Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes in the three and six month periods of 2011 and 2010 is associated primarily with our Mexican subsidiaries.

Discontinued Operations. On October 26, 2009, the Company sold all of the outstanding stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, Sypris Test & Measurement, for approximately $39.0 million. In accordance with requirements of ASC 205-20-45, the results of the Test & Measurement segment have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. During 2010, the Company was made aware of a potential indemnification claim from the purchaser of Sypris Test & Measurement. As of July 3, 2011, the Company estimates that its total liability arising from this claim will not exceed $0.9 million, of which $0.5 million was charged to loss from discontinued operations, net of tax for the six months ended July 3, 2011.

Liquidity

On May 12, 2011, the Company entered into a new credit facility (Credit Facility) which provides for total availability up to $50.0 million to support short-term funding needs and letters of credit, which replaced the Company’s Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior Notes scheduled to expire in January 2012. Loans made under the Credit Facility will mature and the commitments thereunder will terminate in May 2016. The Credit Facility provides for an option, subject to certain conditions, to increase total availability to $60.0 million in the future.

Borrowing availability under the Credit Facility is determined by a monthly borrowing base collateral calculation that is based on specified percentages of the value of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment, less certain reserves and subject to certain other adjustments. At July 3, 2011 we had total excess availability under the Credit Facility of $22.3 million along with an unrestricted cash balance of $14.1 million, which provides for total cash and borrowing capacity of $36.4 million. Approximately $9.8 million of the unrestricted cash balance relates to our Mexican subsidiaries. Standby letters of credit up to a maximum of $5.0 million may be issued under the Credit Facility, of which $1.0 million were issued at July 3, 2011.

We also had purchase commitments totaling approximately $5.5 million at July 3, 2011, primarily for inventory and manufacturing equipment.

We believe that sufficient resources will be available to satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. Cash requirements for periods beyond the next twelve months depend on our profitability, our ability to manage working capital requirements and our rate of growth. If our largest customers experience financial difficulty, or if working capital and capital expenditure requirements exceed expected levels during the twelve months or in subsequent periods, we may require additional external sources of capital. There can be no assurance that any additional required financing will be available through bank borrowings, debt or equity financings or otherwise, or that if such financing is available, it will be available on terms acceptable to us. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Financial Condition

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities (continuing operations) was $1.5 million in the first six months of 2011 as compared to net cash used of $0.1 million for the first six months of 2010, primarily due to the increase in net income over the prior year period and partially offset by an increase in working capital. The Industrial Group’s net revenue increase of $37.8 million resulted in increases in accounts receivable and inventory of $15.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The Electronics Group’s net revenue decrease generated cash from accounts receivable of $3.3 million during the six months ended July 3, 2011. However, inventory within the Electronics Group increased primarily as a result of the timing of shipments and the building of inventory for potential sales during the second half of 2011 and used $7.5 million of cash. Accounts payable increased during the six months ended July 3, 2011 and provided $14.8 million primarily due to increased purchases by our Industrial Group and the timing of payments to our suppliers. Accrued liabilities increased in the same period and provided $0.7 million, primarily as a result of increased accrued taxes for our Mexico operations and an advanced payment from a customer within the Electronics Group.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $2.3 million for the first six months of 2011 as compared to $0.5 million for the first six months of 2010. Net cash used by investing activities for the first six months of 2011 included $2.9 million of capital expenditures partially offset by proceeds of $0.6 million from the sale of certain idle assets within the Industrial Group.

 

17


Financing Activities. Net cash used by financing activities was $1.6 million in the first half of 2011 due to the repayment of debt under the Company’s former Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior Notes partially offset by borrowings of $22.0 million under the new Credit Facility. The Company also paid $0.4 million of deferred loan costs during the period in conjunction with the new Credit Facility. The Company’s financing activities were cash neutral for the first half of 2010.
