Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands except share and per share data)
1.Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for fiscal year-end financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the financial statements and related footnotes included in our 2018 Form 10-K (Commission File No. 001-34728) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2019.
The Company currently conducts business in
Work Truck Attachments. The Work Truck Attachments segment includes commercial snow and ice management attachments sold under the FISHER®, WESTERN® and SNOWEX® brands. This segment consists of our operations that manufacture and sell snow and ice control products.
Work Truck Solutions. The Work Truck Solutions segment includes manufactured municipal snow and ice control products under the HENDERSON® brand and the up-fit of market leading attachments and storage solutions under the HENDERSON® brand, and the DEJANA® brand and its related sub-brands.
See Note 15 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information regarding these segments. As a result of the revised reporting structure, the prior period presentation of reportable segments throughout this Form 10Q has been recast to conform to the current segment reporting structure.
Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the condensed cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited.
The Company’s Work Truck Attachments segment is seasonal and consequently its results of operations and financial condition vary from quarter-to-quarter. Because of this seasonality, the results of operations of the Work Truck Attachments segment for any quarter may not be indicative of results of operations that may be achieved for a subsequent quarter or the full year, and may not be similar to results of operations experienced in prior years. The Company attempts to manage the seasonal impact of snowfall on its revenues in part through its pre-season sales program. This pre-season sales program encourages the Company’s distributors to re-stock their inventory of Work Truck Attachments products during the second and third quarters in anticipation of the peak fourth quarter retail sales period by offering favorable pre-season pricing and payment deferral until the fourth quarter. Thus, the Company’s Work Truck Attachments segment tends to generate its greatest volume of sales during the second and third quarters. By contrast, its revenue and operating results tend to be lowest during the first quarter, as management believes the end-users of Work Truck Attachments products prefer to wait until the beginning of a snow season to purchase new equipment and as the Company’s distributors sell off Work Truck Attachments inventory and wait for the pre-season sales incentive period to re-stock inventory. Fourth quarter sales vary from year-to-year as they are primarily driven by the level, timing and location of snowfall during the quarter. This is because most of the Company’s Work Truck Attachments fourth quarter sales and shipments consist of re-orders by distributors seeking to restock inventory to meet immediate customer needs caused by snowfall during the winter months. In addition, due to the factors noted above, Work Truck Attachments working capital needs are highest in the second and third quarters as its accounts
7
receivable rise from pre-season sales. These working capital needs decline in the fourth quarter as the Company receives payments for its pre-season shipments.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 Leases: Targeted Improvements which allows entities to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date, rather than at the earliest period presented. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases using a modified retrospective approach.
The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019. The Company elected several available practical expedients and implemented certain internal controls to ensure the accurate presentation of financial information on adoption.
The standard had a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but did not have an impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. There was no cumulative catch-up adjustment made to opening retained earnings. The most significant impact was the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while the accounting for finance leases (previously capital leases) remained substantially unchanged. As the Company elected to apply the standard at adoption as allowed under ASU No. 2018-11, there is no impact to previously reported results. The impact of this standard was the recognition of a lease liability and right-of-use asset of approximately $
As allowed under ASC 842, the Company has adopted the following practical expedients:
| ● | Practical expedient package, which allows the following: |
| o | To not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts is or contains a lease. |
| o | To not reassess the lease classification of any expired or existing leases. |
| o | To not reassess the initial direct costs for any existing lease. |
| ● | Short-term lease practical expedient |
| o | Allows the Company not to apply the recognition requirements in ASC 842 to short term leases for all asset classes. Short term leases are leases that, at commencement date, have a term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. |
| ● | Separating lease components practical expedient |
| o | Allows the Company not to separate lease components from nonlease components for all asset classes and instead account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component. |
2.Revenue Recognition
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company reorganized its segments. See Note 1 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these segments.
8
Revenue Streams
The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates revenue. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. Additionally, contract amounts represent the full amount of the transaction price as agreed upon with the customer at the time of order, resulting in a single performance obligation in all cases.
Work Truck Attachments
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of equipment to the customer. Within the Work Truck Attachments segment, the Company offers a variety of discounts and sales incentives to its distributors. The estimated liability for sales discounts and allowances is calculated using the expected value method and recorded at the time of sale as a reduction of net sales. The liability is estimated based on the costs of the program, the planned duration of the program and historical experience.
The Work Truck Attachments segment has
Independent Dealer Sales – Revenues from sales to independent dealers are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment. In these instances, each product is considered a separate performance obligation, and revenue is recognized upon shipment of the goods. Any shipping and handling activities performed by the Company after the transfer of control to the customer (e.g., when control transfers upon shipment) are considered fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued for when the related revenue is recognized.
Parts & Accessory Sales – The Company’s equipment is used in harsh conditions and parts frequently wear out. These parts drive recurring revenues through parts and accessory sales. The process for recording parts and accessory sales is consistent with the independent dealer sales noted above.
Work Truck Solutions
The Work Truck Solutions segment primarily participates in the truck and vehicle upfitting industry in the United States. Customers are billed separately for the truck chassis by the chassis manufacturer. The Company only records sales for the amount of the upfit, excluding the truck chassis. Generally, the Company obtains the truck chassis from the truck chassis manufacturer through either its floor plan agreement with a financial institution or bailment pool agreement with the truck chassis manufacturer. Additionally, in some instances the Company upfits chassis which are owned by the end customer. For truck chassis acquired through the floor plan agreement, the Company holds title to the vehicle from the time the chassis is received by the Company until the completion of the up-fit. Under the bailment pool agreement, the Company does not take title to the truck chassis, but rather only holds the truck chassis on consignment. The Company pays interest on both of these arrangements. The Company records revenue in the same manner net of the value of the truck chassis in both the Company’s floor plan and bailment pool agreements. The Company does not set the price for the truck chassis, is not responsible for the billing of the chassis and does not have inventory risk in either the bailment pool or floor plan agreements. The Work Truck Solutions segment also has manufacturing operations of municipal snow and ice control equipment, where revenue is recognized upon shipment of equipment to the customer.
Revenues from the sales of the Work Truck Solutions products are recognized net of the truck chassis with the selling price to the customer recorded as sales and the manufacturing and up-fit cost of the product recorded as cost of sales. In these cases, the Company acts as an agent as it does not have inventory or pricing control over the truck chassis. Within the Work Truck Solutions segment, the Company also sells certain third-party products for which it acts as an agent. These sales do not meet the criteria for gross sales recognition, and thus are recognized on a net basis at the time of sale. Under net sales recognition, the cost paid to the third-party service provider is recorded as a reduction to sales, resulting in net sales being equal to the gross profit on the transaction.
9
The Work Truck Solutions segment has
State and Local Bids – The Company records revenue of separately sold snow and ice equipment upon shipment and fully upfit vehicles upon delivery. The state and local bid process does not obligate the entity to buy any products from the Company, but merely allows the entity to purchase products in the future typically for a fixed period of time. The entity commits to actually purchasing products from the Company when it issues purchase orders off of a previously awarded bid, which lists out actual quantities of equipment being ordered and the delivery terms. On upfit transactions, the Company is providing a significant service by assembling and integrating the individual products onto the customer’s truck. Each individual product and installation activity is highly interdependent and highly interrelated, and therefore the Company considers the manufacture and upfit of a truck a single performance obligation. Any shipping and handling activities performed by the Company after the transfer of control to the Customer (e.g., when control transfers upon shipment) are considered fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued for when the related revenue is recognized.
Fleet Upfit Sales – The Company enters into contracts with certain fleet customers. Fleet agreements create enforceable rights without the issuance of a purchase order. Typically, these agreements outline the terms of sale, payment terms, standard pricing, and the rights of the customer and seller. Fleet sales are performed on both customer owned vehicles as well as non-customer owned vehicles. For non-customer owned vehicles, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the truck to the customer. For customer-owned vehicles, per Topic 606, revenue is recognized over time based on a cost input method. The Company accumulates costs incurred on partially completed customer-owned upfits based on estimated margin and completion. This change to over time recognition for customer owned vehicles decreased revenue by $
Dealer Upfit Sales – The Company upfits work trucks for independent dealer customers. Dealer upfit revenue is recorded upon delivery. The customer does not own the vehicles during the upfit process, and as such revenue is recorded at a point in time upon delivery to the customer.
Over the Counter / Parts & Accessory Sales – Work Truck Solutions part and accessory sales are recorded as revenue upon shipment. Additionally, customers can purchase parts at any of the Company’s showrooms. In these instances, each product is considered a separate performance obligation, and revenue is recognized upon shipment of the goods or customer pick up.

The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Contract assets include amounts related to our contractual right to consideration for completed performance objectives not yet invoiced. There were no contract assets as of June 30, 2019 or 2018. Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under the contract, variable freight allowances which are refunded to the customer, and rebates paid to distributors under our municipal rebate program, and are realized with the associated revenue recognized under the contract.
The Company recognized revenue of $
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
Topic 606 requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of June 30, 2019. The guidance provides certain optional exemptions that limit this requirement. The Company has various contracts that meet the following optional exemptions provided by ASC 606:
| 1. | The performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. |
| 2. | Revenue is recognized from the satisfaction of the performance obligations in the amount billable to the customer in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-18. |
| 3. | The variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-14(b), for which the criteria in ASC 606-10-32-40 have been met. |
12
After considering the above optional exemptions, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period is immaterial. Specifically, all obligations are expected to be less than one year, revenue is recognized from the satisfaction of the performance obligations and variable consideration is allocated entirely to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations.
3.Fair Value
Fair value is the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).
The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and discloses the fair value of long-term debt:

Total Liabilities | $ | | $ | | ||
(a) Included in other assets is the cash surrender value of insurance policies on various individuals that are associated with the Company. The carrying amount of these insurance policies approximates their fair value and is considered Level 2 inputs.
(b) Valuation models are calibrated to initial trade price. Subsequent valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model (e.g. interest rates and credit spreads). Model inputs are changed only when corroborated by market data. A credit risk adjustment is made on each swap using observable market credit spreads. Thus, inputs used to determine fair value of the interest rate swap are Level 2 inputs. Interest rate swaps of $
(c) The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, which is a Level 2 input for all periods presented. Meanwhile, long-term debt is recorded at carrying amount, net of discount and deferred debt issuance costs, as disclosed on the face of the balance sheet.
(d) Included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the amount of $
13
portion of the potential earnout acquired in conjunction with the acquisition of Henderson. Fair value is based upon Level 3 discounted cash flow analysis using key inputs of forecasted future sales as well as a growth rate reduced by the market required rate of return.

12.Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares, using the two-class method. As the Company has granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that both participate in dividend equivalents and do not participate in dividend equivalents, the Company has calculated earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed losses. Under this method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Diluted net earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive non-participating securities, by the weighted average number of common stock and dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. Potential common shares in the diluted net earnings per share computation are excluded to the extent that they would be anti-dilutive.

2010 Stock Incentive Plan
In May 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the 2010 Plan on March 5, 2014, contingent on stockholder approval of the performance goals under the 2010 Plan, and the amendment and restatement became effective upon stockholder approval of the performance goals at the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders held on April 30, 2014. The 2010 Plan provides for the issuance of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), any of which may be performance-based, and for incentive bonuses, which may be paid in cash or stock or a combination of both, to eligible employees, officers, non-employee directors and other service providers to the Company and its subsidiaries.

Results of Operations
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company reorganized its business segments to reflect a new operating structure as a result of a change in how the Company’s chief operating decision maker allocates resources, makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of the business. The changes in the Company’s reporting structure consist of revenues and costs from the Company’s municipal snow and ice offering under the Henderson Products brand moving from the Work Truck Attachments segment to the Work Truck Solutions segment. Under this revised reporting structure, the Company’s two reportable business segments are as follows:
Work Truck Attachments. The Work Truck Attachments segment includes commercial snow and ice management attachments sold under the FISHER®, WESTERN® and SNOWEX® brands. This segment
28
consists of our operations that manufacture and sell snow and ice control products. As described under “Seasonality and Year-To Year Variability,” the Work Truck Attachments Segment is seasonal and, as a result, its results of operations can vary from quarter-to-quarter and from year-to-year.
Work Truck Solutions. The Work Truck Solutions segment includes manufactured municipal snow and ice control products under the HENDERSON® brand and the up-fit of market leading attachments and storage solutions under the HENDERSON® brand, and the DEJANA® brand and its related sub-brands.
In addition, segment results include an allocation of all corporate costs to Work Truck Attachments and Work Truck Solutions. Prior period segment information has been recast to align with this change in reporting structure and to reflect an allocation of corporate costs.

Net sales were $176.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $163.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $13.0 million, or 8.0%. Net sales were $269.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $247.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $22.1 million, or 8.9%. Sales increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to higher volumes driven by ongoing positive demand. See below for a discussion of net sales for each of our segments.

Net sales at our Work Truck Attachments segment were $112.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $103.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $8.7 million primarily due to strong sales during our preseason period. Net sales at our Work Truck Attachments segment were $138.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $128.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $10.0 million primarily due to the same reasons noted above, as well as increased parts and accessories sales as a result of strong snowfall early in the year.
Net sales at our Work Truck Solutions segment were $64.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $59.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $4.2 million due primarily to increased demand and price recovery on higher material costs, as well as continued improvements in chassis supply predictability when compared to the same quarter last year. Net sales at our Work Truck Solutions segment were $131.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $119.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $12.2 million due to the same reasons noted above.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $116.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $107.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $9.2 million, or 8.6%. Cost of sales was $187.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $171.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $15.5 million, or 9.0%. The increase in cost of sales was driven by increased sales as discussed above under “—Net Sales”. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales were 66.2% for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to 65.8% for the three month period ended June 30, 2018. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the three month period is due to material cost inflation. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales were 69.4% for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to 69.3% for the six month period ended June 30, 2018. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is due to the same reasons noted above, as well as higher sales in the Work Truck Solutions segment, which historically has operated at lower margins than the Work Truck Attachments segment.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $59.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $55.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $3.8 million, or 6.8%. Gross profit was $82.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $75.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $6.6 million, or 8.7%. The change in gross profit is attributable to the changes in sales as discussed above under “—Net Sales.” As a percentage of net sales, gross profit changed from 34.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to 33.8% for the corresponding period in 2019. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit changed from 30.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to 30.6% for the corresponding period in 2019. The reasons for the changes in gross profit as a percentage of net sales are the same as those relating to the changes in cost of sales as a percentage of sales discussed above under “—Cost of Sales.”
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including intangibles amortization, were $21.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $23.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 8.1%. Selling, general and administrative expenses, including intangibles amortization, were $40.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $42.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 3.5%. The reason for the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the periods presented is primarily due to a decrease in stock compensation expense related to plan design changes implemented in the prior year and planned management transitions in 2019, as well as a decrease in legal expenses related to a patent infringement case in the prior year.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which was higher than the $4.1 million incurred in the same period in the prior year. Interest expense was $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which was higher than the $8.0 million incurred in the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was due to increased interest payments as a result of a less favorable variable rate during the period, slightly offset by the reduction to the principal balance of the Term Loan Credit Agreement as a result of the $30.0 million voluntary prepayment made in February 2019.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.6% and 24.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 23.7% and 22.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase in tax rate of 1.0 percentage points. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was higher when compared to the same period in 2018 due to a discrete tax benefit related to excess tax benefits from stock compensation of $0.3 million and $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
31
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The largest item affecting deferred taxes is the difference between book and tax amortization of goodwill and other intangibles amortization.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $25.5 million, compared to net income of $21.2 million for the corresponding period in 2018, an increase in net income of $4.3 million. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $25.2 million, compared to net income of $19.3 million for the corresponding period in 2018, an increase in net income of $5.9 million. The increase in net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was driven by the factors described above under “— Net Sales,” “—Cost of Sales,” “— Selling, General and Administrative Expense,” and “— Income Taxes.” As a percentage of net sales, net income was 14.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 12.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. As a percentage of net sales, net income was 9.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 8.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Form 10-K (Commission File No. 001-34728) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Critical Accounting Policies.”
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of cash have been, and we expect will continue to be, cash from operations and borrowings under our senior credit facilities.
Our primary uses of cash are to provide working capital, meet debt service requirements, finance capital expenditures, pay dividends under our dividend policy and support our growth, including through potential acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes. For a description of the seasonality of our working capital rates see “—Seasonality and Year-To-Year Variability.”
Our Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy that reflects an intention to distribute to our stockholders a regular quarterly cash dividend. The declaration and payment of these dividends to holders of our common stock is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends upon many factors, including our financial condition and earnings, legal requirements, taxes and other factors our Board of Directors may deem to be relevant. The terms of our indebtedness may also restrict us from paying cash dividends on our common stock under certain circumstances. As a result of this dividend policy, we may not have significant cash available to meet any large unanticipated liquidity requirements. As a result, we may not retain a sufficient amount of cash to fund our operations or to finance unanticipated capital expenditures or growth opportunities, including acquisitions. Our Board of Directors may, however, amend, revoke or suspend our dividend policy at any time and for any reason.
As of June 30, 2019, we had $77.4 million of total liquidity, comprised of $5.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability of $72.4 million under our revolving credit facility, compared with total liquidity as of December 31, 2018 of approximately $122.4 million, comprised of approximately $27.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability of approximately $94.6 million under our revolving credit facility. The decrease in our total liquidity from December 31, 2018 is primarily due to the seasonality of our business. Borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility is governed by a borrowing base, the calculation of which includes cash on hand. Accordingly, use of cash on hand may also result in a reduction in the amount available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility. Furthermore, our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain at least $10.5 million of borrowing availability and 15% of the aggregate revolving commitments at the time of determination. We expect that cash on hand and cash we generate from operations, as well as available credit under our senior credit facilities, will provide adequate funds for the purposes described above for at least the next 12 months.

Decrease in cash | $ | (22,809) | $ | (36,875) | $ | 14,066 | 38.1 | % | ||||
Net cash used in operating activities increased $11.3 million from the six months ended June 30, 2018 to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in cash used in operating activities was due to unfavorable changes in working capital of $13.0 million, slightly offset by a $1.7 million increase in net income adjusted for reconciling items. The largest unfavorable change in working capital were driven by unfavorable changes in cash used by accounts receivable from higher sales in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018 due an increase in capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased $26.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease was primarily a result of there being $27.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2019 compared to no short term borrowings at June 30, 2018.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $0.6 million compared to ($6.1) million in the corresponding period in 2018, an increase of $6.7 million. The increase in free cash flow is primarily a result of higher cash provided by operating activities of $8.5 million, slightly offset by an increase in capital expenditures of $1.8 million. Free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was ($5.8) million compared to $6.9 million in the corresponding period in 2018, a decrease of $12.7 million. The decrease in free cash flow is primarily a result of lower cash provided by operating activities of $11.3 million and an increase in capital expenditures of $1.4 million, as discussed above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
33
These non-GAAP measures include:
| ● | Free cash flow; and |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA; and |
| ● | Adjusted net income and earnings per share. |
These non-GAAP disclosures should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which we define as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, other financial measures such as net income and cash flow provided by operations. We believe that free cash flow represents our ability to generate additional cash flow from our business operations.
The following table reconciles net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, a GAAP measure, to free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted for certain charges consisting of unrelated legal and consulting fees, stock-based compensation, severance, litigation proceeds, loss on disposal of fixed assets related to facility relocations and certain purchase accounting expenses. We use, and we believe our investors benefit from the presentation of, Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance because it provides us and our investors with additional tools to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of our consolidated financial statements in evaluating our operating performance as compared to that of other companies, because it allows them to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets and liabilities, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Our management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ability to make certain payments, including dividends, in compliance with our senior credit facilities, which is determined based on a calculation of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” that is substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. As a result, you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness; |
| ● | Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
34
| ● | Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure; and |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax obligations whether current or deferred. |

Adjusted EBITDA at our Work Truck Attachments segment was $40.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $41.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $0.6 million primarily due to inflation, and investments in the business, as well as planned unfavorable pricing reductions on sales to Work Truck Solutions in the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA at our Work Truck Solutions segment was $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $3.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $2.6 million due to higher volumes, operational efficiencies, and lower spending.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (calculated on a diluted basis) represents net income and earnings per share (as defined by GAAP), excluding the impact of stock based compensation, severance, litigation proceeds, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, loss on disposal of fixed assets related to facility relocations and certain charges related to certain unrelated legal fees and consulting fees, net of their income tax impact. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are useful in assessing the Company’s financial performance by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income for the periods presented allows investors to make meaningful comparisons of our operating performance between periods and to view our business from the same perspective as our management. Because the excluded items are not predictable or consistent, management does not consider them when evaluating our performance or when making decisions regarding allocation of resources.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Seasonality and Year-to-Year Variability
While our Work Truck Solutions segment has limited seasonality and variability, our Work Truck Attachments segment is seasonal and also varies from year-to-year. Consequently, our results of operations and financial condition for this segment vary from quarter-to-quarter and from year-to-year as well. In addition, because of this seasonality and variability, the results of operations for our Work Truck Attachments segment and our consolidated results of operations for any quarter may not be indicative of results of operations that may be achieved for a subsequent quarter or the full year, and may not be similar to results of operations experienced in prior years. That being the case, while snowfall levels vary within a given year and from year-to-year, snowfall, and the corresponding replacement cycle of snow and ice control equipment manufactured and sold by our Work Truck Attachments segment, is relatively consistent over multi-year periods.
Sales of our Work Truck Attachments products are significantly impacted by the level, timing and location of snowfall, with sales in any given year and region most heavily influenced by snowfall levels in the prior snow season (which we consider to begin in October and end in March) in that region. This is due to the fact that end-user demand for our Work Truck Attachments products is driven primarily by the condition of their snow and ice control equipment, and in the case of professional snowplowers, by their financial ability to purchase new or replacement snow and ice control equipment, both of which are significantly affected by snowfall levels. Heavy snowfall during a given winter causes usage of our Work Truck Attachments products to increase, resulting in greater wear and tear to our products and a shortening of their life cycles, thereby creating a need for replacement commercial snow and ice control equipment and related parts and accessories. In addition, when there is a heavy snowfall in a given winter, the increased income our professional snowplowers generate from their professional snowplow activities provides them with increased purchasing power to purchase replacement commercial snow and ice control equipment prior to the following winter. To a lesser extent, sales of our Work Truck Attachments products are influenced by the timing of snowfall in a given winter. Because an early snowfall can be viewed as a sign of a heavy upcoming snow season, our end-users may respond to an early snowfall by purchasing replacement snow and ice control equipment during the current season rather than delaying purchases until after the season is over when most purchases are typically made by end-users.
We attempt to manage the seasonal impact of snowfall on our revenues in part through our pre-season sales program, which involves actively soliciting and encouraging pre-season distributor orders in the second and third quarters by offering our Work Truck Attachments distributors a combination of pricing, payment and freight incentives during this period. These pre-season sales incentives encourage our Work Truck Attachments distributors to re-stock their inventory during the second and third quarters in anticipation of the peak fourth quarter retail sales period by offering pre-season pricing and payment deferral until the fourth quarter. As a result, we tend to generate our greatest volume of sales (an average of over two-thirds over the last ten years) for the Work Truck Attachments segment during the second and third quarters, providing us with manufacturing visibility for the remainder of the year. By contrast, our revenue and operating results for the Work Truck Attachments segment tend to be lowest during the first quarter, as management believes our end-users prefer to wait until the beginning of a snow season to purchase new equipment and as our distributors sell off inventory and wait for our pre-season sales incentive period to re-stock inventory. Fourth quarter sales for the Work Truck Attachments segment vary from year-to-year as they are primarily driven by the level, timing and location of snowfall during the quarter. This is because most of our fourth quarter sales and shipments for the Work Truck Attachments segment consist of re-orders by distributors seeking to restock inventory to meet immediate customer needs caused by snowfall during the winter months.
Because of the seasonality of our sales of Work Truck Attachments products, we experience seasonality in our working capital needs as well. In the first quarter, we typically require capital as we are generally required to build our inventory for the Work Truck Attachments segment in anticipation of our second and third quarter pre-season sales. During the second and third quarters, our working capital requirements rise as our accounts receivable for the Work Truck Attachments segment increase as a result of the sale and shipment of products ordered through our pre-season sales program and we continue to build inventory. Working capital requirements peak towards the end of the
37
third quarter and then begin to decline through the fourth quarter through a reduction in accounts receivable for the Work Truck Attachments segment when we receive the majority of the payments for pre-season shipped products.
We also attempt to manage the impact of seasonality and year-to-year variability on our business costs through the effective management of our assets. Our asset management and profit focus strategies include:
| ● | the employment of a highly variable cost structure facilitated by a core group of workers that we supplement with a temporary workforce as sales volumes dictate, which allows us to adjust costs on an as-needed basis in response to changing demand; |
| ● | our enterprise-wide lean concept, which allows us to adjust production levels up or down to meet demand; |
| ● | the pre-season order program described above, which incentivizes distributors to place orders prior to the retail selling season; and |
| ● | a vertically integrated business model. |
These asset management and profit focus strategies, among other management tools, allow us to adjust fixed overhead and sales, general and administrative expenditures to account for the year-to-year variability of our sales volumes.
Additionally, although modest, our annual capital expenditure requirements can be temporarily reduced by up to approximately 40% in response to actual or anticipated decreases in sales volumes. If we are unsuccessful in our asset management initiatives, the seasonality and year-to-year variability effects on our business may be compounded and in turn our results of operations and financial condition may suffer.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not use financial instruments for speculative trading purposes, and do not hold any derivative financial instruments that could expose us to significant market risk. Our primary market risk exposures are changes in interest rates and steel price fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates. Our borrowings, including our term loan and any revolving borrowings under our senior credit facilities, are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. A portion of our interest rate risk associated with our term loan is mitigated through interest rate swaps. In addition, the interest rate on any revolving borrowings is subject to an increase in the interest rate based on our average daily availability under our revolving credit facility.
As of June 30, 2019, we had outstanding borrowings under our term loan of $246.9 million. A hypothetical interest rate change of 1%, 1.5% and 2% on our term loan would have changed interest incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2019 by $0.6 million, $0.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
The Company is party to an interest rate swap agreement to reduce its exposure to interest rate volatility, and is accounted for as a cash flow hedge. See Note 8 for additional details on the Company’s interest rate swap agreement.
As of June 30, 2019, we had $27.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. A hypothetical interest rate change of 1%, 1.5% and 2% on our revolving credit facility would have changed interest incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2019 by $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
Commodity Price Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk related to our purchase of steel, the primary commodity upon which our manufacturing depends. Our steel purchases as a percentage of revenue were 8.5% and 11.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 8.6% and 10.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. While steel is typically available from numerous suppliers, the price of steel is a commodity subject to fluctuations that apply across broad spectrums of the steel market. We do not use any derivative or hedging instruments to manage steel price risk. If the price of steel increases, our variable costs could also increase. While historically we have successfully mitigated these increased costs through the implementation of either
38
permanent price increases and/or temporary invoice surcharges, in the future we may not be able to successfully mitigate these costs, which could cause our gross margins to decline. If our costs for steel were to increase by $1.00 in a period where we are not able to pass any of this increase onto our distributors, our gross margins would decline by $1.00 in the period in which such inventory was sold.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, other than those identified below.
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted Topic 842, Leases. As a result, we have implemented changes to our controls related to leases. These changes include the review of leases for proper classification and valuation of the lease assets and liabilities. These controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance of the fair presentation of our financial statements and related disclosures.
