Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, except that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of Accuride Corporation (“Accuride” or the “Company”), all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Certain operating results from prior periods have been reclassified to discontinued operations to conform to the current year presentation.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto disclosed in Accuride’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
On January 31, 2011, substantially all of the assets, liabilities and business of our Bostrom Seating subsidiary were sold to a subsidiary of Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. for approximately $8.8 million and resulted in recognition of a $0.2 million loss on our consolidated statement of operations in the six months ended June 30, 2011, which have been reclassified to discontinued operations. Of the purchase price, $1.0 million was placed into a one year escrow securing the indemnification obligations of Bostrom to Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the escrow was terminated and the Company received the full balance of $1.0 million from the escrow. See Note 2 “Discontinued Operations” for further discussion.
On June 20, 2011, the Company entered into, and consummated the acquisition contemplated by, an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company’s subsidiary, Accuride EMI, LLC (“Buyer”), acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Forgitron Technologies LLC (“Seller”), a manufacturer and supplier of aluminum wheels for commercial vehicles. Pursuant to the Agreement, Buyer purchased the acquired assets for a purchase price of $22.4 million in cash. This acquisition included an 80,000 square foot forged aluminum wheel manufacturing facility in Camden, South Carolina (“Camden”) and is consistent with the Company’s planned capacity expansion of its core aluminum wheel product line.
The Camden acquisition was accounted for by the acquisition method of accounting. Under acquisition accounting, the total purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Camden based upon their fair values. We finalized the fair valuation of net assets acquired, for property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, and goodwill, during the fourth quarter of 2011. In connection with the allocation of the purchase price, we recorded goodwill of approximately $1.1 million as shown in the following table:
The purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2011 was as follows:
On September 26, 2011, the Company announced the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fabco Automotive Corporation (“Fabco”) to Fabco Holdings, Inc., a new company formed and capitalized by Wynnchurch Capital, Ltd. in partnership with Stone River Capital Partners, LLC. The sale concluded for a purchase price of $35.0 million, subject to a working capital adjustment, plus a contingent payment of up to $2.0 million depending on Fabco’s financial performance during calendar year 2012. See Note 2 “Discontinued Operations” for further discussion.
Management’s Estimates and Assumptions – 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings Per Common Share – Basic and diluted earnings per common share were computed as follows:
As of June 30, 2012, there were options exercisable for 221,541 shares that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2011, there were warrants exercisable for 2,205,882 shares that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. The warrants were exercisable at an exercise price of $21.00 per share and expired on February 26, 2012 unexercised.
Stock-Based Compensation –Compensation expense for share-based compensation programs was recognized as follows as a component of operating expenses:
As of June 30, 2012, there was approximately $4.8 million of unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to share-based awards not yet vested that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.
Income Tax –Under Interim Financial Reporting, we compute on a quarterly basis an estimated annual effective tax rate considering ordinary income and related income tax expense. Ordinary income refers to income (loss) before income tax expense excluding significant, unusual, or infrequently occurring items. The tax effect of an unusual or infrequently occurring item is recorded in the interim period in which it occurs. Other items included in income tax expense in the periods in which they occur include the cumulative effect of changes in tax laws or rates, foreign exchange gains and losses, adjustments to uncertain tax positions, and adjustments to our valuation allowance due to changes in judgment in the realizability of deferred tax assets in future years.
We have assessed the need to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based on an assessment of whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation of future taxable income. Appropriate consideration is given to all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. Due to our recent history of U.S. operating and taxable losses, the inconsistency of these profits, and the uncertainty of our financial outlook, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our domestic deferred tax assets.
Recent Accounting Adoptions
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The objective of this update is to facilitate convergence of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This update revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. Entities have the option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income as either a single, continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments of this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The amendments in this update are to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This guidance amends U.S. GAAP to conform with measurement and disclosure requirements in IFRS. The amendments change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, and they include those that clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. In addition, to improve consistency in application across jurisdictions, some changes in wording are necessary to ensure that U.S. GAAP and IFRS fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way. This amended guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-04 effective January 1, 2012 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 – Discontinued Operations
The Company has reclassified certain operating results and the loss on sale transactions for Fabco Automotive and Bostrom Seating to discontinued operations. The following table presents sales and income from operations attributable to Fabco and Bostrom Seating.
Note 3 - Inventories
Inventories at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, on a FIFO basis, were as follows:
Note 4 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The following represents the carrying amount of goodwill, on a reportable segment basis, as of January 1, 2012 and June 30, 2012:
The changes in the carrying amount of other intangible assets for the period January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012, by reportable segment, are as follows:
The summary of goodwill and other intangible assets is as follows:
We estimate that our amortization expense for our other intangible assets for 2012 through 2016 will be approximately $10.8 million for 2012, $10.6 million for 2013 and $10.3 million for each year from 2014 through 2016.
Note 5 - Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
Components of net periodic benefit cost for the three and six months ended June 30:
As of June 30, 2012, $5.8 million has been contributed to our sponsored pension plans. We presently anticipate contributing an additional $8.7 million to fund our pension plans during 2012 for a total of $14.5 million. On July 6, 2012, The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, which includes provisions related to pension funding stabilization, was signed into law. We are currently assessing the impact that this law will have on our pension funding for the remainder of 2012.
Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies
We are from time to time involved in various legal proceedings of a character normally incidental to our business. We do not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of our operations and cash flows.
In addition to environmental laws that regulate our ongoing operations, we are also subject to environmental remediation liability. Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and analogous state laws, we may be liable as a result of the release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment regardless of when the release occurred. We are currently involved in several matters relating to the investigation and/or remediation of locations where we have arranged for the disposal of foundry wastes. Such matters include situations in which we have been named or are believed to be potentially responsible parties in connection with the contamination of these sites. Additionally, environmental remediation may be required to address soil and groundwater contamination identified at certain of our facilities.
As of June 30, 2012, we had an environmental reserve of approximately $1.5 million, related primarily to our foundry operations. This reserve is based on management’s review of potential liabilities as well as cost estimates related thereto. The reserve takes into account the benefit of a contractual indemnity given to us by a prior owner of our wheel-end subsidiary. The failure of the indemnitor to fulfill its obligations could result in future costs that may be material. Any expenditures required for us to comply with applicable environmental laws and/or pay for any remediation efforts will not be reduced or otherwise affected by the existence of the environmental reserve. Our environmental reserve may not be adequate to cover our future costs related to the sites associated with the environmental reserve, and any additional costs may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. The discovery of additional environmental issues, the modification of existing laws or regulations or the promulgation of new ones, more vigorous enforcement by regulators, the imposition of joint and several liability under CERCLA or analogous state laws, or other unanticipated events could also result in a material adverse effect.
The Iron and Steel Foundry National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (“NESHAP”) was developed pursuant to Section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act and requires major sources of hazardous air pollutants to install controls representative of maximum achievable control technology. Based on currently available information, we do not anticipate material costs regarding ongoing compliance with the NESHAP; however, if we are found to be out of compliance with the NESHAP, we could incur liability that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
At the Erie, Pennsylvania, facility, we have obtained an environmental insurance policy to provide coverage with respect to certain environmental liabilities. Management does not believe that the outcome of any environmental proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
As of June 30, 2012, we had approximately 3,474 employees, of which 672 were salaried employees with the remainder paid hourly. Unions represent approximately 2,014 of our employees, which is approximately 58% of our total employees. Each of our unionized facilities has a separate contract with the union that represents the workers employed at such facility. The union contracts expire at various times over the next few years with the exception of our union contract that covers the hourly employees at our Monterrey, Mexico, facility, which expires on an annual basis in January unless otherwise renewed. The 2012 negotiations in Monterrey were successfully completed prior to the expiration of our union contract. In 2012, we extended the labor contract at our London, Ontario facility through March 15, 2013.
Note 7 – Financial Instruments
We have determined the estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments using available market information and other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. A fair value hierarchy accounting standard exists for those instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and our own assumptions (unobservable inputs). Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
The hierarchy consists of three levels:
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of our 9.5% senior secured notes based on market quotes, which we determined to be Level 1 inputs, at June 30, 2012 was approximately $318.5 million compared to the carrying amount of $303.6 million. The fair value of our 9.5% senior secured notes based on market quotes, which we determined to be Level 1 inputs, at December 31, 2011 was approximately $300.5 million compared to the carrying amount of $303.1 million. The Company believes the fair value of our ABL facility at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 equals the carrying value of $20.0 million. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 we had no other remaining financial instruments.
Note 8 – Segment Reporting
Based on our continual monitoring of the long-term economic characteristics, products and production processes, class of customer, and distribution methods of our operating segments, we have identified each of our operating segments below as reportable segments. We believe this segmentation is appropriate based upon operating decisions and performance assessments by our President and Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Current and prior period operating results from Bostrom Seating and Fabco Automotive were reclassified to discontinued operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. Excluded from net sales above, are inter-segment sales from Brillion Iron Works to Gunite, as shown in the table below:
Note 9 - Debt
As of June 30, 2012, total debt was $323.6 million consisting of $303.6 million of our outstanding 9.5% senior secured notes, net of discount and a $20.0 million draw on our ABL facility. As of December 31, 2011, total debt was $323.1 million consisting of $303.1 million of our outstanding 9.5% senior secured notes, net of discount and a $20.0 million draw on our ABL facility.
Our credit documents (the ABL facility and the indenture governing the senior secured notes) contain operating covenants that limit the discretion of management with respect to certain business matters. These covenants place significant restrictions on, among other things, the ability to incur additional debt, to pay dividends, to create liens, to make certain payments and investments and to sell or otherwise dispose of assets and merge or consolidate with other entities. In addition, the ABL facility contains a financial covenant which requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio during any compliance period, which is anytime when the excess availability is less than or equal to the greater of $10.0 million or 15 percent of the total commitment under the ABL facility. Due to the amount of our excess availability (as calculated under the ABL facility), the Company is not currently in a compliance period and, we do not have to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, although this is subject to change.
Note 10 – Guarantor and Non-guarantor Financial Statements
Our senior secured notes are, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior basis, by all of our existing and future 100% owned domestic subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The non-guarantor subsidiaries are our foreign subsidiaries and discontinued operations. The following condensed financial information illustrates the composition of the combined Guarantor Subsidiaries:
