NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(1.)    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Integer Holdings Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Integer” or the “Company”) is a publicly-traded corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ITGR.” Integer is one of the largest medical device outsource manufacturers in the world serving the cardiac, neuromodulation, vascular, orthopedics, advanced surgical and portable medical markets. The Company provides innovative, high-quality medical technologies that enhance the lives of patients worldwide. In addition, it develops batteries for high-end niche applications in the energy, military, and environmental markets. The Company’s reportable segments are: (1) Medical and (2) Non-Medical. The Company’s customers include large multi-national original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and their affiliated subsidiaries.

On July 2, 2018, the Company completed the sale of the Advanced Surgical and Orthopedic product lines (the “AS&O Product Line”). The results of operations of the AS&O Product Line are reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The cash flows related to discontinued operations have not been segregated, and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Unless otherwise noted specifically as discontinued operations, discussion within these notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. See Note 16 “Discontinued Operations” for additional information related to discontinued operations.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270, Interim Reporting) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information necessary for a full presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the Company for the periods presented. Intercompany transactions and balances have been fully eliminated in consolidation.

Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, certain components of equity, sales, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The first quarter of 2020 ended on April 3 and consisted of 94 days, and the first quarter of 2019 ended on March 29 and consisted of 91 days.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation, which management does not consider to be material.

Supplier Financing Arrangements

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company began utilizing supplier financing arrangements with financial institutions to sell certain accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis. These transactions are treated as a sale of, and are accounted for as a reduction to, accounts receivable. The agreements transfer control and risk related to the receivables to the financial institutions. The Company has no continuing involvement in the transferred receivables subsequent to the sale. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company sold and de-recognized accounts receivable and collected cash of $15.5 million. The costs associated with the supplier financing arrangements were not material for the three months ended April 3, 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). ASUs not yet adopted that are not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. With the exception of the accounting pronouncements adopted as discussed below, there have been no new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

(1.)    BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326

The Company adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, effective January 1, 2020. Under the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model, the Company immediately recognizes an estimate of credit losses expected to occur over the life of the financial asset at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired.  Estimated credit losses are determined by taking into consideration historical loss conditions, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  Changes to the expected lifetime credit losses are recognized each period. The adoption of ASC 326 did not have a material impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions if certain criteria are met. The ASU applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(2.)    BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On February 19, 2020, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of InoMec Ltd. (“InoMec”), a privately-held company based in Israel that specializes in the research, development and manufacturing of medical devices, including minimally invasive tools, delivery systems, tubing and catheters, surgery tools, drug-device combination, laser combined devices, and tooling and production. The acquisition enables the Company to create a research and development center in Israel, closer to the customer base in the region. The fair value of the consideration transferred was $7.0 million, which included an initial cash payment of $5.3 million and $1.7 million in estimated fair value of contingent consideration.

The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the Company’s obligation, under the asset purchase agreement, to make additional payments of up to $3.5 million over the next four years based on specified conditions being met. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, the assets acquired principally comprise $2.0 million of intangible assets, $4.8 million of goodwill, $0.3 million of acquired property, plant and equipment, and a net liability for other working capital items of $0.1 million. Intangible assets included developed technology, customer relationships and non-compete provisions, which are being amortized over a weighted average period of 5.9 years.

On October 7, 2019, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of US BioDesign, LLC (“USB”), a privately-held developer and manufacturer of complex braided biomedical structures for disposable and implantable medical devices. The acquisition added a differentiated capability related to the complex development and manufacture of braided and formed biomedical structures to the Company’s broad portfolio. The fair value of the consideration transferred was $19.1 million, which included a cash payment of $14.9 million, which reflects a $0.1 million favorable working capital adjustment finalized in the first quarter of 2020, and $4.2 million in estimated fair value of contingent consideration.

The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the Company’s obligation, under the asset purchase agreement, to make additional payments of up to $5.5 million if certain revenue goals are met through 2023. The assets acquired principally consist of $7.4 million of developed technology, $10.4 million of goodwill, $0.7 million of acquired property, plant and equipment, and $0.6 million of other working capital items. The developed technology intangible asset is being amortized over a useful life of 8 years. The $10.4 million of goodwill reflects a $0.1 million decrease resulting from the working capital adjustment.

The amount allocated to goodwill for these acquisitions is deductible for income tax purposes. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation approach. See Note 13 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” for additional information related to the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration.

Earnings related to the operations consisting of the assets and liabilities acquired from InoMec and USB for the three months ended April 3, 2020 were not material. Direct costs of these acquisitions of $0.8 million were expensed as incurred and included in Other Operating Expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations during the three months ended April 3, 2020.

Exercisable at April 3, 2020 322,805 $ 34.40 5.0 $ 5.6

During the three months ended April 3, 2020, the Company awarded grants to certain members of management, consisting of either time-based RSUs or a mix of time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs (“PRSUs”). The time-based RSUs vest ratably, subject to the recipient’s continuous service to the Company over a period of generally three years from the grant date. For the Company’s PRSUs, in addition to service conditions, the ultimate number of shares to be earned depends on the achievement of financial performance or market-based conditions. The financial performance condition is based on the Company’s sales targets. The market-based conditions are based on the Company’s achievement of a relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance requirement, on a percentile basis, compared to a defined group of peer companies over three year performance periods.

The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the grant-date fair value of awards with TSR-based performance conditions. The grant-date fair value of all other RSUs is equal to the closing market price of Integer common stock on the date of grant.

(8.)     OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES (Continued)

Strategic reorganization and alignment

As a result of the strategic review of its customers, competitors and markets, the Company began taking steps in 2017 to better align its resources in order to enhance the profitability of its portfolio of products. These initiatives include improving its business processes and redirecting investments away from projects where the market does not justify the investment, as well as aligning resources with market conditions and the Company’s future strategic direction. The Company estimates that it will incur aggregate pre-tax charges in connection with the strategic reorganization and alignment plan, including projects reported in discontinued operations, of between approximately $22 million to $23 million, the majority of which are expected to be cash expenditures. During the three months ended April 3, 2020, the Company incurred charges relating to this initiative, which primarily included severance recorded within the Medical segment. As of April 3, 2020, total expense incurred for this initiative since inception, including amounts reported in discontinued operations, was $22.9 million. These actions were substantially completed at the end of 2019.

Manufacturing alignment to support growth

In 2017, the Company initiated several initiatives designed to reduce costs, increase manufacturing capacity to accommodate growth and improve operating efficiencies.  The plan involves the relocation of certain manufacturing operations and expansion of certain of the Company’s facilities. The Company estimates that it will incur aggregate pre-tax restructuring related charges in connection with the realignment plan of between approximately $6 million to $7 million, the majority of which are expected to be cash expenditures. Costs related to the Company’s manufacturing alignment to support growth initiative were primarily recorded within the Medical segment. As of April 3, 2020, total expense incurred for this initiative since inception was $5.7 million. These actions were substantially completed at the end of 2019.

2020 restructuring plan

The Company’s 2020 restructuring plan mainly consists of costs associated with executing on its sales force excellence, manufacturing excellence and business process excellence imperatives. These projects focus on changing the Company’s organizational structure to match product line growth strategies and customer needs, transitioning its manufacturing process into a competitive advantage and standardizing and optimizing its business processes. The Company estimates that it will incur aggregate pre-tax restructuring related charges in connection with the 2020 restructuring plan of between approximately $2 million to $3 million, the majority of which are expected to be cash expenditures. Costs related to the Company’s 2020 restructuring plan are expected to be primarily recorded within the Medical segment. As of April 3, 2020, total expense incurred for this initiative since inception was $1.0 million, which was primarily severance. These actions are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2020.

The following table summarizes the change in accrued liabilities, presented within Accrued Expense and Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, related to the initiatives described above (in thousands): Severance and Retention Other Total
December 31, 2019 $ 1,389 $ 596 $ 1,985
Restructuring charges 1,309 341 1,650
Cash payments (1,927 ) (935 ) (2,862 )
April 3, 2020 $ 771 $ 2 $ 773

Acquisition and integration expenses

During the three months ended April 3, 2020, acquisition and integration expenses included $0.9 million of expenses related to the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of InoMec and USB, and a $0.5 million adjustment to reduce the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities. Acquisition and integration costs primarily include direct acquisition costs incurred which consist of professional fees and other costs.

Other general expenses

During the three months ended April 3, 2020 and March 29, 2019, the Company recorded expenses related to other initiatives not described above, which relate primarily to integration and operational initiatives to reduce future operating costs and improve operational efficiencies. The 2020 and 2019 amounts primarily include systems conversion expenses and expenses related to the restructuring of certain legal entities of the Company.

(9.)    INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. There is a potential for volatility of the effective tax rate due to several factors, including discrete items, changes in the mix and amount of pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which it relates, changes in tax laws and foreign tax holidays, business reorganizations, settlements with taxing authorities and foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, the Company continues to explore tax planning opportunities that may have a material impact on its effective tax rate.

The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations for the first quarter of 2020 was

15.1%

on $36.6 million of income from continuing operations before taxes compared to

15.0%

on $25.1 million of income from continuing operations before taxes for the same period in 2019. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 is primarily attributable to the net impact of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income tax, the Company’s earnings outside the U.S., which are generally taxed at rates that differ from the U.S federal rate and discrete tax benefits of $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The discrete tax benefits for both periods are predominately related to excess tax benefits recognized upon vesting of RSUs or exercise of stock options.

As of April 3, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits from continuing operations of approximately $4.6 million and $4.4 million, respectively. It is reasonably possible that a reduction of up to $0.6 million of the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months as a result of potential audit settlements. As of April 3, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximately $4.6 million and $4.4 million, respectively, of the unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate, net of federal benefit on state issues, if recognized.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures may include deferring the due dates of tax payments or other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., includes measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. For the three months ended April 3, 2020, there were no material tax impacts to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as it relates to COVID-19 measures. We continue to monitor additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service and others.

(10.)    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is subject to litigation arising from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. The Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of any pending legal actions will have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. As such, there can be no assurance that any pending legal action, which the Company currently believes to be immaterial, will not become material in the future.

In April 2013, the Company commenced an action against AVX Corporation and AVX Filters Corporation (collectively “AVX”) alleging that AVX had infringed on the Company’s patents by manufacturing and selling filtered feedthrough assemblies used in implantable pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators that incorporate the Company’s patented technology. Two juries in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware have returned verdicts finding that AVX infringed on three of the Company’s patents and awarded the Company $37.5 million in damages. In March 2018, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware vacated the original damage award and ordered a retrial on damages. In the January 2019 retrial on damages, the jury awarded the Company $22.2 million in damages. On July 31, 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware entered an order denying AVX’s post-trial motion to overturn the jury verdict in favor of the Company. On August 23, 2019, AVX filed its notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and on September 5, 2019, the Company filed its notice of cross-appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Briefs by both parties have been filed, but the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has not yet set a date for oral argument. To date, the Company has recorded no gains in connection with this litigation.

Product Warranties

The Company generally warrants that its products will meet customer specifications and will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. The product warranty liability is presented within Accrued Expense and Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in product warranty liability was comprised of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2019 $ 1,933

(13.)     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Fair value measurement standards apply to certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (each reporting period). For the Company, these financial assets and liabilities include its derivative instruments and contingent consideration. The Company does not have any nonfinancial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The Company is exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, and uses derivatives to manage these exposures that occur in the normal course of business. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet.

The following tables provide information regarding assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company periodically enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to reduce the cash flow risk caused by interest rate changes on its outstanding floating rate borrowings. Under these swap agreements, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a floating rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The variable rate received from the swap agreements and the variable rate paid on the outstanding debt will have the same rate of interest, excluding the credit spread, and will reset and pay interest on the same date. The Company has designated these swap agreements as cash flow hedges based on concluding the hedged forecasted transaction is probable of occurring within the period the cash flow hedge is anticipated to affect earnings.

Contingent Consideration

In periods subsequent to the initial measurement, contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured to fair value each reporting period until the contingent consideration is settled using various assumptions including estimated revenues (based on internal operational budgets and long-range strategic plans), discount rates, revenue volatility and projected payment dates. The assumptions used in the determination of fair value of contingent consideration liabilities are not observable in the market, thus representing a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The contingent liabilities are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities are included in Other operating expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the three months ended April 3, 2020, the Company recorded additional business acquisition related contingent consideration liabilities totaling $1.7 million for the initial measurement of a business acquisition. For the three months ended April 3, 2020, the Company reduced the contingent consideration liability recorded for a previous acquisition by $0.5 million, due to a change in the timing of the projected future revenues, rise in the estimated revenue volatility, and increase in the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the contingent consideration liability.

The Company expects to reclassify net losses totaling $8.3 million related to its cash flow hedges from AOCI into earnings during the next twelve months.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Fair value standards also apply to certain assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

Borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, TLA Facility and TLB Facility accrue interest at a floating rate tied to a standard short-term borrowing index, selected at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin. The carrying amount of this floating rate debt approximates fair value based upon the respective interest rates adjusting with market rate adjustments.

(17.) RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Beginning in early March 2020, the global spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), has created significant uncertainty and worldwide economic disruption. Specific impacts to the Company’s business potentially include delayed or reduced customer orders, restrictions on its associates’ ability to travel or work, delays in shipments to and from certain countries, and disruptions in its supply chain. Further, the collapse in the demand for oil caused by this unprecedented global health and economic crisis, coupled with oil oversupply, has adversely impacted the demand for products in the Company’s Non-Medical reportable segment. Considering these events and circumstances, the Company elected to bypass a qualitative analysis of its Non-Medical reporting unit’s goodwill and performed a quantitative analysis. The fair value of the Non-Medical reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount as of April 3, 2020.

In response to COVID-19 and the related uncertainty, the Company is taking prudent measures to improve its liquidity and strengthen its financial position. On April 10, 2020, the Company drew a $160 million portion of its Revolving Credit Facility to protect against a prolonged pandemic coupled with financial market illiquidity.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including, among others, the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions, especially those taken by governmental authorities, to contain the pandemic or treat its impact. As events are rapidly changing, additional impacts may arise that the Company is not aware of currently. Any prolonged material disruption of the Company’s associates, suppliers, manufacturing, or customers could materially impact its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Except as required by applicable law, the Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements in this report whether to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in future operating results, financial conditions or prospects, or otherwise.

In this Form 10-Q, references to “Integer,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” mean Integer Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Our Business

Integer Holdings Corporation is one of the largest medical device outsource (“MDO”) manufacturers in the world serving the cardiac, neuromodulation, vascular, orthopedics, advanced surgical and portable medical markets. We also develop batteries for high-end niche applications in the non-medical energy, military, and environmental markets. Our vision is to enhance the lives of patients worldwide by being our customers’ partner of choice for innovative technologies and services.

We organize our business into two reportable segments, Medical and Non-Medical, and derive our revenues from four principal product lines. The Medical segment includes the Cardio & Vascular, Cardiac & Neuromodulation and Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical product lines and the Non-Medical segment is comprised of the Electrochem product line. For more information on our segments, please refer to Note 14 “Segment Information” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report.

The first quarter of 2020 ended on April 3 and consisted of 94 days, and the first quarter of 2019 ended on March 29 and consisted of 91 days.

Recent Developments

We have been actively monitoring the global spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and taking steps in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to mitigate the potential impact to us posed by its spread and related third party responses, including from government authorities, our associates, customers and suppliers. We are prioritizing the safety of our associates while continuing to provide critical products that patients rely on every day. The following is a summary of a variety of the actions we have taken and continue to take.

Governmental Actions

Regulatory authorities worldwide have imposed restrictions regarding the conduct of business and the movement of people. However, we have been able to continue our operations because of the essential nature of the products we develop and manufacture, and all of our facilities remain open with social distancing and enhanced cleaning procedures implemented. In response to the pandemic, many governments have also recently enacted legislation designed to support businesses and workers impacted by COVID-19. While we will seek benefits under this legislation where available, we do not expect that such benefits will have a material impact on our operations and financial condition.

Associates

The health and safety of our associates is a priority for us. We have implemented measures to safeguard our associates from COVID-19 infection and exposure, consistent with guidelines promulgated by the World Health Organization, the United States Center for Disease Control, and other applicable regional authorities.  They consist of policies, procedures, protocols, and guidance related to, among other things, COVID-19 symptom awareness, effective hygiene practices, travel restrictions, visitor restrictions, social distancing, face covering expectations, temperature and health screening, work-from-home requirements, absenteeism policies, enhanced workplace cleaning, and large-scale decontamination.

To balance cost management during what we expect to be temporary sales declines in certain areas, we are utilizing furloughs and temporary shutdowns to more closely align labor with customer demand, and we will continue to assess the need for further actions in this area. In doing so, we are monitoring benefits available to our associates under various governmental programs, including assistance for associates unable to work for COVID-19 reasons. We have, and will continue to, seek to understand whether these benefits apply to our associates, how the available benefits support the best interests of our associates, and how the available benefits may impact our business now and in the future as we return to more normalized operations.

Customers

Likewise, we remain in close contact with our customers to respond to increased critical needs such as ventilator and patient monitor components and to understand the impact of COVID-19 on their business. COVID-19 has introduced volatility and uncertainty to all of our customers, which has resulted in the need for us to react and respond. While we did not experience a significant reduction in customer orders in the first quarter of 2020, we believe it is likely that we will experience delayed or reduced customer orders as a result of the pandemic, largely because of the elective nature of the procedures that some of the devices and components we manufacture support. Because of our position in the supply chain, any delayed or reduced customer demand that we experience will likely lag any similar delay or reduction in sales by our customers to their customers.

  • 28 -

INTEGER HOLDINGS CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This impact could be mitigated or enhanced depending on the various inventory management approaches utilized by our customers. We have had, and will continue to have, close conversation with our customers to be in the best possible position to respond to their needs.

Supply Chain

Our suppliers are also experiencing the impact of COVID-19 on their businesses. Because of our ability to continue to operate under government rules relating to essential or permitted businesses and services, our suppliers also have generally been permitted to continue conducting business to the extent they support our work. However, our suppliers also have had challenges in maintaining an adequate workforce, securing materials from their own suppliers, implementing workplace safety practices, and have instituted periodic closures as a result of COVID-19. We are taking steps to validate our suppliers’ ability to deliver to us on time, which may also be affected by the impact of COVID-19 on their own financial condition.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls

We have taken proactive measures to ensure we have maintained an appropriate internal control environment while migrating certain of our workforce to working from home, in response to various government orders to “stay in place” or “shelter in place”.  Our control environment allows access to technology and online communications that has not required a change in controls. We believe our existing disclosure controls are appropriate to address the financial reporting implications as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Governance

We are conducting regular leadership calls with global and regional leaders to review the effectiveness of associate safety measures, monitor the spread of the virus in the geographies in which we operate, discuss the evolving availability of testing and therapeutic medicine, and assess the impact of the pandemic on our business. These meetings also serve to identify actions we must take to manage COVID-19 risks or opportunities on an enterprise-wide or on a regional basis, and to ensure that progress is made on actions to which we have previously committed. Moreover, through formal meetings and other communications, we are in regular contact with our Board of Directors and Committees of the Board of Directors on the COVID-19 pandemic risks and opportunities to ensure our board members remain informed, can perform their duties of risk oversight. This communication also allows management to gain the valuable business and governance perspectives of our board members. Most importantly, we have been communicating with all associates regularly regarding, among other things, the steps we are taking to safeguard their health and safety, the flexible work and pay arrangements we have instituted as result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the progress we are making in managing the effects of the pandemic on our business.

Discontinued Operations

On July 2, 2018, we completed the sale of the Advanced Surgical and Orthopedic product lines (the “AS&O Product Line”) to Viant. In connection with the sale, the parties executed a transition services agreement whereby we provided certain corporate services (including accounting, payroll, and information technology services) to Viant to facilitate an orderly transfer of business operations. Viant paid us for these services as specified in the transition services agreement, which were complete as of June 28, 2019. The results of operations of the AS&O Product Line were classified as discontinued operations. All results and information presented exclude discontinued operations unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 16 “Discontinued Operations” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information.

Recent Business Acquisitions

On February 19, 2020, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of InoMec Ltd. (“InoMec”), a privately-held company based in Israel that specializes in the research, development and manufacturing of medical devices, including minimally invasive tools, delivery systems, tubing and catheters, surgery tools, drug-device combination, laser combined devices, and tooling and production. The acquisition enables us to create a research and development center in Israel, closer to the customer base in the region.

In October 2019, we purchased certain assets and liabilities of US BioDesign, LLC (“USB”), a privately-held developer and manufacturer of complex braided biomedical structures for disposable and implantable medical devices. The acquisition added a differentiated capability related to the development and manufacture of complex braided and formed biomedical structures to our broad portfolio, that we believe further positions us as a partner of choice for innovative medical technologies.

Refer to Note 2 “Business Acquisitions” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information about these acquisitions.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Strategic Overview

We continue to take steps to better align our resources in order to invest to grow and protect, and preserve our portfolio of products. In addition to our portfolio strategy, we have launched the execution of six key operational strategic imperatives designed to drive excellence in everything we do:

Sales Force Excellence: We are changing the organizational structure to match product line growth strategies and customer needs. This change is about getting more out of the capabilities we already have, and will increase individual accountability and clarity of ownership, while serving customers more effectively.
Market Focused Innovation: We are ensuring we get the most return on our research and development investments. Integer is currently focusing on getting a clearer picture of how we spend our money and ensuring we are spending it in the right places so we can increase investments to drive future growth.
--- ---
Manufacturing Excellence: The goal is to deliver world-class operational performance in the areas of safety, quality, delivery and overall efficiency. We want to transition our manufacturing into a competitive advantage through a single, enterprise-wide manufacturing structure known as the Integer Production System. This system will provide standardized systems and processes by leveraging best practices and applying them across all of our global sites.
--- ---
Business Process Excellence: Integer is taking a systematic approach to driving excellence in everything we do by standardizing, optimizing and ultimately sustaining all of our processes.
--- ---
Leadership Capability: We have a robust plan to make leadership a competitive advantage for Integer, and since the success rate is higher with internal hires, we are focusing on finding and developing leaders from within the Company to build critical capabilities for future success.
--- ---
Performance Excellence: We are raising the bar on associate performance to maximize our impact. This includes aligning key roles with critical capabilities, positioning the best talent against the biggest work, and putting tools and processes in place to provide higher financial rewards for top performers, so our top performers can see increased results in pay for increased results in their performance.
--- ---

We believe Integer is well-positioned within the medical technology and MDO manufacturing market and that there is a robust pipeline of opportunities to pursue. We have expanded our medical device capabilities and are excited about opportunities to partner with customers to drive innovation. We believe we have the scale and global presence, supported by world-class manufacturing and quality capabilities, to capture these opportunities. We are confident in our capabilities as one of the largest MDO manufacturers, with a long history of successfully integrating companies, driving down costs and growing revenues over the long-term. Ultimately, our strategic vision is to drive shareholder value by enhancing the lives of patients worldwide by being our customers’ partner of choice for innovative technologies and services.

Financial Overview of Continuing Operations

Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2020 was $31.1 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $21.4 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2019. These variances are primarily the result of the following:

Sales for the first quarter of 2020 increased $13.8 million, or 4%, primarily driven by growth in Cardio & Vascular sales, partially offset by a decline in Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2020 increased $8.1 million, or 9%, primarily due to the increase in sales and production efficiencies resulting from our Manufacturing Excellence Strategic Imperative.
--- ---
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2020 increased $3.2 million, or 6%, primarily due to increases in SG&A and RD&E expenses.
--- ---
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2020 decreased by $3.5 million, or 25%, primarily due to lower interest rates and outstanding debt balances.
--- ---
We recognized a net gain on equity investments of $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to a net loss on equity investments of $0.04 million for the first quarter of 2019. Gains and losses on equity investments are generally unpredictable in nature.
--- ---
Other income, net for the first quarter of 2020 was $1.0 million, compared to other loss, net of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to foreign currency gains in 2020 compared to foreign currency losses in 2019.
--- ---
We recorded provisions for income taxes for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 of $5.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively. The increase in provisions for income taxes was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Product Line Sales from Continuing Operations

For the first quarter of 2020, Cardio & Vascular sales increased $26.6 million, or 17%, versus the first quarter of 2019. This increase was driven by a strong increase in peripheral vascular demand from a customer’s continued launch of an existing program into a new geography, and strong overall growth across most cardio & vascular markets. The quarter also benefited from incremental sales from the start of a new customer contract on existing business. The impact of COVID-19 was negligible in the first quarter. During the first quarter of 2020, price reductions lowered Cardio & Vascular sales by $2.0 million in comparison to the first quarter of 2019. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations decreased Cardio & Vascular sales for the first quarter of 2020 by $0.4 million in comparison to the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to U.S. dollar fluctuations relative to the Euro.

For the first quarter of 2020, Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales decreased $9.1 million, or 8%, versus the first quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in neuromodulation sales as a result of the Nuvectra Corporation bankruptcy (the “Nuvectra Bankruptcy”) and headwinds from 2019 supply agreement commitments. Strong cardiac rhythm management growth from product launches and increased battery demand was partially offset by the impact on prior year sales from the signing of a customer contract on existing business. The impact of COVID-19 was negligible in the first quarter. During the first quarter of 2020, price concessions lowered Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales by $2.0 million in comparison to the first quarter of 2019. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales during the first quarter of 2020 in comparison to the first quarter of 2019.

In addition to Portable Medical sales, Advanced Surgical, Orthopedic & Portable Medical includes sales to the acquirer of our AS&O Product Line, Viant, under long-term supply agreements entered into as of the closing of the divestiture for the sale of products by the Company to Viant. Advanced Surgical, Orthopedic & Portable Medical decreased $0.4 million, or 1%, versus the first quarter of 2019, driven by a decrease in portable medical battery demand, partially offset by increased end-market demand for Advanced Surgical and Orthopedic base products. The impact of COVID-19 was negligible in the first quarter. During the first quarter of 2020, price concessions lowered Advanced Surgical, Orthopedic & Portable Medical sales by $0.5 million in comparison to the first quarter of 2019. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on Advanced Surgical, Orthopedic & Portable Medical sales.

For the first quarter of 2020, Non-Medical sales decreased $3.4 million, or 25%, versus the first quarter of 2019, driven by a severe decline in the energy market due to both oversupply and demand fall-out from COVID-19 pandemic. Price concessions and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on Non-Medical sales during the first quarter of 2020 in comparison to the first quarter of 2019.

Gross Profit

Changes to gross profit as a percentage of sales (“Gross Margin”) from the prior year were due to the following: Change from Prior Year Three Months
Price^(a)^ (1.4 )%
Mix^(b)^ (0.4 )
Nuvectra Bankruptcy^(c)^ (0.3 )
Production efficiencies and volume^(d)^ 3.3
Total percentage point change to gross profit as a percentage of sales 1.2 %

^__________^

^(a)^ Our Gross Margin for the first quarter of 2020 was negatively impacted by price reductions given to our larger OEM customers in return for long-term volume commitments.
^(b)^ Amount represents the impact to our Gross Margin attributable to changes in the mix of product sales during the period.
--- ---
^(c)^ Amount represents the impact to our Gross Margin of $0.8 million of pre-tax charges attributable to the Nuvectra Bankruptcy.
--- ---
^(d)^ Represents various increases and decreases to our Gross Margin. Overall, our Gross Margin for the first quarter of 2020 was positively impacted by production efficiencies, mainly due to our Manufacturing Excellence imperative, as well as higher sales volume.
--- ---

Over the long-term, we expect our Gross Margin to improve as we execute our manufacturing excellence strategic imperative and continue to deliver supply chain savings. However, we also expect our Gross Margin to continue to be negatively impacted by pricing pressures from our customers. It is imperative to drive manufacturing efficiencies and supply chain savings to offset these pricing pressures.

SG&A Expenses

Changes to SG&A expenses from the prior year were due to the following (in thousands): Change From Prior Year
Three<br><br>Months
Transition services agreement^(a)^ $ 1,597
Professional fees^(b)^ (913 )
All other SG&A^(c)^ 817
Net increase in SG&A Expenses $ 1,501

^__________^

^(a)^ Represents the amount included in SG&A Expenses which was charged to Viant for transition services during the first quarter of 2019. We executed a transition services agreement in conjunction with the sale of the AS&O Product Line, whereby we agreed to provide certain corporate services (including accounting, payroll, and information technology services) to Viant to facilitate an orderly transfer of business operations. This provision of services under the agreement was completed during the second quarter of 2019.
^(b)^ Professional fees decreased during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower legal costs.
--- ---
^(c)^ Represents net increases in other SG&A expenses, primarily increases in amortization and supplies and services, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense.

RD&E

RD&E costs for the first quarter of 2020 were $13.2 million, compared to $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2019. RD&E expenses are influenced by the number and timing of in-process projects and labor hours and other costs associated with these projects. Our research and development initiatives continue to emphasize new product development, product improvements, and the development of new technological platform innovations.

Other Operating Expenses

Refer to Note 8 “Other Operating Expenses” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for further information related to these initiatives. Other Operating Expenses (“OOE”) is comprised of the following (in thousands):

Three Months Ended
April 3, <br>2020 March 29, <br>2019
Strategic reorganization and alignment^(a)^ $ 548 $ 1,734
Manufacturing alignment to support growth^(b)^ 128 585

Acquisition and integration expenses^(d)^ 356
Other general expenses^(e)^ 922 571
Total other operating expenses $ 2,928 $ 2,890

^__________^

^(a)^ As a result of the strategic review of our customers, competitors and markets, we began taking steps in 2017 to better align our resources in order to enhance the profitability of our portfolio of products. These initiatives include improving our business processes and redirecting investments away from projects where the market does not justify the investment, as well as aligning resources with market conditions and our future strategic direction. Expenses for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 primarily consist of severance costs.
^(b)^ In 2017, we initiated several initiatives designed to reduce costs, improve operating efficiencies and increase manufacturing capacity to accommodate growth.  The plan involves the relocation of certain manufacturing operations and expansion of certain of our facilities.
--- ---
^(c)^ Our 2020 restructuring plan mainly consists of costs associated with executing our sales force excellence, manufacturing excellence and business process excellence imperatives. These projects focus on changing our organizational structure to match product line growth strategies and customer needs, transitioning our manufacturing process into a competitive advantage and standardizing and optimizing our business processes.
--- ---
^(d)^ Amounts include expenses related to the purchase of certain assets and liabilities from USB and InoMec, net of a $0.5 million adjustment to the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities.
--- ---
^(e)^ Amounts include expenses related to other initiatives not described above, which relate primarily to integration and operational initiatives to reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies. The 2020 and 2019 amounts primarily includes systems conversion expenses and expenses related to the restructuring of certain legal entities of the Company.
--- ---

We continually evaluate our operating structure in order to maximize efficiencies and drive margin expansion.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of cash interest and debt related charges (i.e. amortization of debt issuance costs and discount). Interest expense decreased $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2020 from $13.8 million for the first quarter of 2019, primarily from $2.7 million less cash interest. The weighted average interest rates paid on outstanding borrowings for the three months ended April 3, 2020 was 4.28%, compared to 5.12% for the comparable period in 2019. The weighted average interest rate paid in 2020 reflects decreases in LIBOR subsequent to the first quarter of 2019 and reductions to the applicable interest rate margin of our Term Loan A facility. In November 2019, we reduced the applicable interest rate margins by amending our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. In addition, our average principal amount of debt outstanding was $101.0 million less in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019 as a result of accelerated debt pay-downs during our 2019 fiscal year.

Debt related charges decreased $0.8 million during the first quarter of 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019, primarily attributable to lower accelerated write-offs (losses from extinguishment of debt) of deferred fees and original issue discount related to prepayments of portions of our Term Loan B facility. We had no losses from extinguishment of debt during the first quarter of 2020 compared to $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2019. See Note 6 “Debt” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information pertaining to our debt.

  • 34 -

INTEGER HOLDINGS CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

As of April 3, 2020, approximately 22% of our principal amount of debt outstanding was subject to variable rates, in comparison to approximately 20% as of December 31, 2019.  We have entered into interest rate swap agreements that reduce our exposure to fluctuations in the LIBOR rate. See Note 13 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information pertaining to our interest rate swap agreements.

(Gain) Loss on Equity Investments, Net

During the first quarter of 2020, we recognized net gains of $1.9 million on our equity investments, compared to a net loss of $0.04 million the first quarter of 2019. Gains and losses on equity investments are generally unpredictable in nature. The amounts for both 2020 and 2019 relate to our share of equity method investee gains/losses including unrealized appreciation of the underlying interests of the investee. As of April 3, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying value of our equity investments were $24.2 million and $22.3 million, respectively. See Note 13 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for further details regarding these investments.

Other (Income) Loss, Net

Other (Income) Loss, Net was income of $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to a loss of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2019. Other (Income) Loss, Net primarily comprises income (loss) from the impact of exchange rates on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our foreign currency transaction gains/losses are based primarily on fluctuations of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro, Mexican peso, Uruguayan pesos, Malaysian ringgits, or Israeli shekel.

The impact of exchange rates on transactions denominated in foreign currencies included in Other (Income) Loss, Net for the first quarter of 2020 were gains of $1.0 million, compared to losses of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2019. We continually monitor our foreign currency exposures and seek to take steps to mitigate these risks. However, fluctuations in exchange rates could have a significant impact, positive or negative, on our financial results in the future.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recognized income tax expense of $5.5 million (effective tax rate of 15.1%) for the first quarter of 2020 on $36.6 million of pre-tax income from continuing operations compared to income tax expense of $3.8 million (effective tax rate of 15.0%) on $25.1 million of pre-tax income from continuing operations for the same period of 2019.

There is a potential for volatility in our effective tax rate due to several factors including changes in the mix of pre-tax income from continuing operations and the jurisdictions to which it relates, changes in tax laws and foreign tax holidays, business reorganizations, and settlements with taxing authorities and foreign currency fluctuations. We currently have various tax planning initiatives in place and continuously evaluate planning strategies aimed at reducing our effective tax rate over the long term. This includes strategies to realize deferred tax assets that would otherwise expire unutilized.

Our effective tax rate for 2020 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due principally to the net impact of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income tax, the Company’s earnings outside the U.S., which are generally taxed at rates that differ from the U.S federal rate, and the availability of tax credits.

Our earnings outside the U.S. are generally taxed at blended rates that are marginally lower than the U.S. federal rate. The GILTI provisions require us to include foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of a deemed return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets in our U.S. income tax return. The foreign jurisdictions in which we operate and where our foreign earnings are primarily derived, include Switzerland, Mexico, Uruguay, Malaysia and Ireland. While we are not currently aware of any material trends in these jurisdictions that are likely to impact our current or future tax expense, our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower effective tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries where we have higher effective tax rates, or by changes in tax laws or regulations. We regularly assess any significant exposure associated with increases in tax rates in international jurisdictions and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant adjustment to our tax provisions.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

(dollars in thousands) April 3, <br>2020 December 31, <br>2019
Cash and cash equivalents $ 37,259 $ 13,535
Working capital 274,693 236,317
Current ratio 2.48 2.32

Cash and cash equivalents at April 3, 2020 increased by $23.7 million from December 31, 2019, primarily as a result of cash flow from operations, inclusive of proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable under a supplier financing program, incremental borrowings on our senior secured credit facility, partially offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is consistent with our actions to increase liquidity given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the first quarter of 2020, we began utilizing a supplier financing arrangement with a financial institution to sell certain accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis. These transactions are treated as a sale of, and are accounted for as a reduction to, accounts receivable.  The agreement transfers control and risk related to the receivables to the financial institution. We have no continuing involvement in the transferred receivables subsequent to the sale. We sold and de-recognized accounts receivable and collected cash of $15.5 million under this agreement as of April 3, 2020.

Working capital increased by $38.4 million from December 31, 2019, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable, net of the impact of supplier financing, and a decrease in accrued expenses from the payment of accrued incentive compensation, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.

At April 3, 2020, $6.5 million of our cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries. We intend to limit our distributions from foreign subsidiaries to previously taxed income or current period earnings. If distributions are made utilizing current period earnings, we will record foreign withholding taxes in the period of the distribution.

Summary of Cash Flow

The following cash flow summary information includes cash flows related to discontinued operations (in thousands):

Three Months Ended
(in thousands) April 3, <br>2020 March 29, <br>2019
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ 32,397 $ 11,234
Investing activities (23,592 ) (7,487 )
Financing activities 15,162 (16,160 )
Effect of foreign currency exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents (243 ) 382
Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ 23,724 $ (12,031 )

Operating Activities – During the first quarter of 2020, we generated cash from operations of $32.4 million, compared to $11.2 million for the first quarter of 2019. The increase of $21.2 million was due to an increase of $15.0 million in cash flow provided by working capital and a $6.2 million increase in cash net income (i.e. net income plus adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities). The increase in cash flow from working capital is the result of changes in certain assets and liabilities affecting cash flows, primarily an increase in cash flows from accounts receivable of $22.8 million, which improved in the first quarter of 2020 from supplier financing sales, partially offset by a decrease in cash flows from inventory of $13.0 million. Cash income increased primarily as a result of sales growth, production efficiencies realized and lower interest payments.

Investing Activities – The $16.1 million increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to increased purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $7.4 million, intangible assets of $3.5 million, and cash paid of $5.3 million for the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities from InoMec Ltd. in the first quarter of 2020. We anticipate that cash on hand, cash flows from operations and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund these capital expenditures.

  • 36 -

INTEGER HOLDINGS CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Financing Activities – Net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of 2020, was $15.2 million compared to $16.2 million used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2019. Financing activities during the first three months of 2020 included net borrowings of $15.6 million, compared to net payments of $15.4 million for the comparable 2019 period.

Capital Structure – As of April 3, 2020, our capital structure consists of $831 million of debt, net of deferred debt issuance costs and unamortized discounts, outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and 33 million shares of common stock outstanding. We have access to borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility. We are also authorized to issue up to 100 million shares of common stock and 100 million shares of preferred stock. As of April 3, 2020, our contractual debt service obligations for the remainder of 2020, consisting of principal and interest on our outstanding debt, are estimated to be approximately $54 million. Actual principal and interest payments may be higher if, for instance, the applicable interest rates on our Senior Secured Credit Facilities increase, we borrow additional amounts on our Revolving Credit Facility, or we pay principal amounts in excess of the required minimums reflected in the contractual debt service obligations above.

Additionally, to protect against a prolonged pandemic coupled with financial market illiquidity, on April 10, 2020, we borrowed an additional $160 million of our Revolving Credit Facility. After giving effect to the $160 million draw, we had available borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility of $8.3 million, available for normal course of business letters of credit capacity. If the additional revolver borrowing remains outstanding for the duration of 2020, we may incur an additional $3 million of interest expense for the fiscal year, based on interest rates effective as of April 3, 2020.

Based on current expectations, we believe that our projected cash flows provided by operations, available cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility are sufficient to meet our working capital, debt service and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. If our future financing needs increase, we may need to arrange additional debt or equity financing. We continually evaluate and consider various financing alternatives to enhance or supplement our existing financial resources, including our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. However, we cannot be assured that we will be able to enter into any such arrangements on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, the recent COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused disruption in the capital markets, could make any such financing more difficult and/or expensive.

Credit Facilities - As of April 3, 2020, we had Senior Secured Credit Facilities that consist of (i) a $200 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with outstanding borrowings of $25 million, (ii) a term loan A facility (the “TLA Facility”) with outstanding principal balance of $258 million, and (iii) a term loan B facility (the “TLB Facility”) with outstanding principal balance of $558 million. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities will mature on October 27, 2022. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities include a mandatory prepayment provision customary for credit facilities of its nature.

The Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility contain covenants requiring (A) a maximum total net leverage ratio of 4.25:1.0, subject to a step down by 25 basis points to 4.00:1:00 beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and, and (B) a minimum interest coverage ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) to interest expense of 3.0:1.0. The TLB Facility does not contain any financial maintenance covenants. As of April 3, 2020, our total net leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with our Senior Secured Credit Facilities agreement, was approximately 2.6 to 1.0. For the twelve month period ended April 3, 2020, our ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense, calculated in accordance with our Senior Secured Credit Facilities agreement, was approximately 7.5 to 1.0.

Failure to comply with these financial covenants would result in an event of default as defined under the Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility unless waived by the lenders. An event of default may result in the acceleration of our indebtedness. As a result, management believes that compliance with these covenants is material to us. As of April 3, 2020, we were in full compliance with the financial covenants described above. As of April 3, 2020, our adjusted EBITDA would have to decline by approximately $124 million, or approximately 39%, in order for us to not be in compliance with our financial covenants. The Revolving Credit Facility is supported by a consortium of fourteen lenders with no lender controlling more than 27% of the facility.

See Note 6 “Debt” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for a further information on the Company’s outstanding debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In the normal course of business, we evaluate all new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, Securities and Exchange Commission, or other authoritative accounting bodies to determine the potential impact they may have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information about these recently issued accounting standards and their potential impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations during the quarter ended April 3, 2020 as compared to those disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Making estimates, assumptions and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Management believes the estimates, assumptions and judgments employed and resulting balances reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ materially.

There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Refer to information appearing under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q. Furthermore, a discussion of market risk exposures is included in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Other than the uncertainties resulting from the global pandemic, there have been no material changes in reported market risk since the inclusion of this discussion in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K referenced above.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) related to the recording, processing, summarization and reporting of information in our reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission as of April 3, 2020. These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to us, including our subsidiaries, is made known to our management, including these officers, by our employees, and that this information is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based on their evaluation, as of April 3, 2020, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

b. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There were no new material legal proceedings that are required to be reported in the quarter ended April 3, 2020, and no material developments during the quarter in the Company’s legal proceedings as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company is providing this additional risk factor to supplement the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Our operations may be adversely impacted by the ongoing global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The global spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, has created significant uncertainty and worldwide economic disruption. We anticipate that COVID-19 may negatively impact our future operating results; however, given the evolving health, economic, social and governmental environments, the duration and scope of the impact is uncertain.

Specific impacts to our business potentially include delayed or reduced customer orders, restrictions on our associates’ ability to travel or work, delays in shipments to and from certain countries, and disruptions in our supply chain. Any negative impact to our operations from delayed or reduced customer demand would likely lag our customers delayed or reduced sales to their customers. Additionally, we could be impacted by our customers’ approach to inventory management, which could vary significantly by customer. Additionally, this pandemic could affect our manufacturing facilities or our associates’ health. If the operations of any of our manufacturing sites are materially impacted as a result of the pandemic, it may not be possible for us to timely manufacture relevant products at required levels, or at all. We have modified, and might further modify, our business practices in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and related third-party responses, including from government authorities. Any business closures, operating disruptions, or travel or work restrictions that impact our associates, customers, suppliers or manufacturing facilities may adversely affect our operations locally and worldwide and could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Further, the collapse in the demand for oil caused by this unprecedented global health and economic crisis, coupled with oil oversupply worldwide, has had, and is reasonably likely to continue to have, a material adverse impact on the demand for our Electrochem products.

The potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic also could impact many of our risk factors included in Part 1, Item A of our 2019 Form 10-K, including, but not limited to, our reliance on a limited number of customers, reliance on third party suppliers, ability to realize the full value of our intangible assets, ability to meet certain financial covenants, access to capital markets, and interruption of our manufacturing operations. However, given the evolving health, economic, social, and governmental environments, the potential impact that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on our risk factors that are further described in our 2019 Form 10-K remains uncertain.
