Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
| (1) | Basis of Presentation |
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of UFP Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) presented herein, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (including normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The results of operations for the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are no newly issued accounting pronouncements that the Company expects to have a material effect on the financial statements.
| (2) | Revenue Recognition |
The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of a promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the core principles of ASC 606 which include (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying separate performance obligations within the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue. The Company recognizes all but an immaterial portion of its product sales upon shipment. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of tooling and machinery primarily upon customer acceptance, with the exception of certain tooling where control does not transfer to the customer, resulting in revenue being recognized over the estimated time for which parts are produced with the use of each respective tool. The Company recognizes revenue from engineering services, which are primarily product development services, as the services are performed or as otherwise determined based on the substance of the agreement. The Company recognizes revenue from bill and hold transactions at the time the specified goods are complete and available to the customer. In the ordinary course of business, the Company accepts sales returns from customers for defective goods, such amounts being immaterial. Although only applicable to an insignificant number of transactions, the Company has elected to exclude sales taxes from the transaction price. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities for which the Company is responsible under the terms and conditions of the sale not as performance obligations but rather as fulfillment costs. These activities are required to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the good and are expensed when revenue is recognized.
Disaggregated Revenue
The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by the major types of goods and services sold to the Company’s customers (in thousands):

Contract balances
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. When invoicing occurs prior to revenue recognition, the Company has contract liabilities included within “deferred revenue” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The following table presents a roll-forward of contract liabilities activity for six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

| (4) | Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses |
Receivables consist of the following (in thousands):
| June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Accounts receivable–trade | $ | $ | ||||||
| Less allowance for credit losses | ( | ) | ( | ) | ||||
| Receivables, net | $ | $ | ||||||
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company’s monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written-off when determined to be uncollectible. Estimates based on an assessment of anticipated payment and all other historical, current and future information that is reasonably available are used to determine the allowance.
The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

| (5) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Financial instruments recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, or disclosed at fair value in the footnotes, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:
Level 1
Valued based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2
Valued based on either directly or indirectly observable prices for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3
Valued based on management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
The following table presents the fair value and hierarchy levels, for financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
| Level 2 | June 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | ||||||
| Liabilities: | ||||||||
| Derivative financial instruments | $ | ( | ) | $ | ( | ) | ||
Derivative financial instruments consist of an interest rate swap for which fair value is determined through the use of a pricing model that utilizes verifiable inputs such as market interest rates that are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swap agreement.
The Company has financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, that are stated at carrying amounts that approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the debt approximates the estimated borrowing rate currently available to the Company.
| (6) | Share-Based Compensation |
Share-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
The Company issues share-based awards through several plans that are described in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. The compensation cost charged against income for those plans is included in selling, general & administrative expenses as follows (in thousands):

| Restricted Stock Unit Awards ("RSUs") | ||||||||||||||||
| Total share-based compensation | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
The total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income for share-based compensa‐tion arrangements was approximately $
Common stock grants
The compensation expense for common stock grants during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, was determined based on an approved fixed dollar amount with the number of shares to be determined on the date of issuance.
Stock Option grants
The following is a summary of stock option activity under all plans for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021:
| Shares Under Options | Weighted Average Exercise Price (per share) | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) | |||||||||||||
| Outstanding at December 31, 2020 | $ | |||||||||||||||

| Outstanding at June 30, 2021 | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||

| Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2021 | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||
On June 9, 2021, the Company granted options to its directors for the purchase of
| Expected volatility | % | |||
| Expected dividends |
| |||
| Risk-free interest rate | % | |||
| Exercise price | $ | |||
| Expected term |
| |||
| Weighted-average grant date fair value | ||||
The stock volatility for each grant is determined based on a review of the experience of the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s common stock over the expected option term, and the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods correspond‐ing with the expected term of the option. The expected term is estimated based on historical option exercise activity.
During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the total intrinsic value of all options exercised was approximately $
Restricted Stock Unit awards
The following table summarizes information about RSU activity during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021:
| Restricted Stock Units | Weighted Average | |||||||
| Outstanding at December 31, 2020 | $ | |||||||
| Awarded | ||||||||
| Shares vested | ( | ) | ||||||
| Outstanding at June 30, 2021 | $ | |||||||
At the Company’s discretion, upon vesting, RSU holders are given the option to net-share settle to cover the required minimum withholding tax and the remaining amount is converted into the equivalent number of common shares and issued to the RSU holder. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020,
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $
| (7) | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value, and consist of the following at the stated dates (in thousands):
| June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Raw materials | $ | $ | ||||||
| Work in process | ||||||||
| Finished goods | ||||||||
| Total inventory | $ | $ | ||||||
| (8) | Leases |
The Company has operating and finance leases for offices, manufacturing plants, vehicles and certain office and manufacturing equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company accounts for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not included in the right of use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities. These are expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and operating and finance lease liabilities are stated separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments pursuant to the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company's assumed lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. ROU assets are also adjusted for any deferred or accrued rent. As the Company's leases do not typically provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

| (9) | Income Per Share |
Basic income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during each period.
The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted net income per share consisted of the following (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||
| June 30, | June 30, | |||||||||||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | 2021 | 2020 | |||||||||||||
| Basic weighted average common shares outstanding | ||||||||||||||||
| Weighted average common equivalent shares due to restricted stock, stock options and RSUs | ||||||||||||||||
| Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding | ||||||||||||||||
The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock options, when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related options during the period. These outstanding stock awards are not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the effect would be antidilutive. For both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for this reason was

The First Amendment amended the Restated Credit Agreement by extending the scheduled maturity date from February 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025 and creating procedures and guidelines for establishing a successor benchmark rate if LIBOR ceases to be available during the term of the revolving credit facility. The Restated Credit Agreement called for interest of LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company used interest-rate-related derivative instruments to manage its exposure related to changes in interest rates on its variable-rate debt instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging. Derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, which creates credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty and, therefore, the Company is not exposed to the counterparty’s credit risk. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit profile. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a derivative instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The Company assesses interest rate risk by identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. The Company’s debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. The Company believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments. To meet this objective, in connection with the term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a $

As further summarized below, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and we believe it will continue to have, negative effects on our business and financial results. Despite the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, conditions related to the pandemic generally appear to be improving and sales for the Company for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 increased 9.2% to $99.3 million from $90.9 million in the same period of 2020. Gross margins for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 increased to 26.2% from 25.0% in the same period last year. Operating income and net income increased 42.6% and 43.0%, respectively.
Recent Developments
IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON OUR BUSINESS
Through much of 2020, COVID-19 spread across the country to areas in which our products are designed, manufactured, distributed or sold. The spread of COVID-19 and the response to it negatively impacted operating conditions for our business in 2020. Although we expect COVID-19 will continue to have negative impacts on our operating results in future periods, the magnitude and duration of the continuing impact is uncertain.
To stall the spread of COVID-19 during calendar year 2020, authorities in states in which we do business implemented numerous measures, including social distancing guidelines, travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, curfews, stay-at-home orders, and business shutdowns. Since then, most federal, state and local mandates or executive orders have been lifted. Our top priorities continue to be ensuring the health and safety of our workforce and serving our various constituencies with as little disruption as possible, so we continue to follow practical safety procedures and continue to monitor that status of the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination rates and mutations COVID-19.
Our operations continue to expose us to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the cost of manufacturing our goods, including higher labor costs, maintenance costs and manufacturing inefficiencies due to employee absenteeism and significantly enhanced cleaning and sterilization. There are continuing delays in scheduling elective medical procedures and exams, there is still a significant reduction in physician office visits from pre-pandemic levels, and hospitals continue to postpone or delay capital purchases. Although the conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic generally appear to be improving, due to the speed with which the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, its global nature, the range of governmental and community responses thereto and our business line and geographic diversity, the further impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations remains highly uncertain and could adversely and materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as those of our customers.
To ensure the health and safety of our employees, since March 2020 we have required or enabled certain employees to work from home or remotely where practicable, and expanded IT and communication support to enhance their productivity; adjusted work spaces and shifted schedules to facilitate social distancing and sterilization for those who continue to work in our facilities; enhanced cleaning and disinfecting procedures at our facilities; required face coverings in accordance with local mandates and procured and distributed personal protective equipment; implemented health checks and visitor protocols and restricted travel.
The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business and operations, is unknown and will depend on the severity, location and duration of the effects and spread of COVID-19, the effectiveness of the vaccine programs and the other actions undertaken by national, regional and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effects (including the ultimate efficacy of vaccine programs on new variants of the virus), and how quickly and to what extent economic conditions improve and normal business and operating conditions resume. As certain restrictions are lifted in various geographical locations throughout the U.S., we will continue to monitor and respond to the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has on our business and operations. We have a strong liquidity position, solid balance sheet, and access to capital which we expect will enable us to effectively manage through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”)
The CARES Act was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States. The CARES Act and related notices include several significant provisions, including delaying certain payroll tax payments and estimated income tax payments that we expect to defer to future periods. Accordingly, the Company deferred social security payments of approximately $1.6 million through December 31, 2020. Fifty percent of this amount is required to be paid by December 31, 2021 and the remaining balance is required to be paid by December 31, 2022. We do not currently expect the CARES Act to have a material impact on our financial results, including on our annual estimated effective tax rate, or on our liquidity. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact the CARES Act may have on our business and financial results.
Results of Operations
Sales
Sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 increased approximately 18.8% to $50.7 million from sales of $42.6 million for the same period in 2020 (first full period of the COVID-19 pandemic). The increase in sales is primarily due to increases in sales to customers in the Automotive, Consumer, and Aerospace & Defense markets of 146.0%, 88.2%, and 40.7% respectively. Sales to customers in the Medical market increased 3.3%.
Sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 increased approximately 9.2% to $99.3 million from sales of $90.9 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in sales is primarily due to increases in sales to customers in the Automotive, Consumer, and Aerospace & Defense markets of 35.7%, 74.4%, and 50.1% respectively, partially offset by a decrease in sales to customers in the Medical market of 4.0% due to the deferral of elective medical procedures.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of sales (“gross margin”) increased to 26.5% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, from 23.3% for the same period in 2020. As a percentage of sales, material and labor costs collectively increased 1.0%, while overhead decreased 4.1%. The increase in collective material and labor costs as a percentage of sales was primarily due to increases in raw material costs and an unfavorable change in mix. The decrease in overhead as a percentage of sales was primarily due to fixed overhead costs measured against increased sales, and the increased costs incurred in the second quarter of 2020 in response to COVID-19.

As a percentage of sales, material and labor costs collectively increased 0.8%, while overhead decreased 2.0%. The increase in collective material and labor costs as a percentage of sales was primarily due to increases in raw material costs and an unfavorable change in mix. The decrease in overhead as a percentage of sales was primarily due to fixed overhead costs measured against increased sales, and the increased costs incurred in the second quarter of 2020 in response to COVID-19.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased approximately 8.4% to $7.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, from $6.7 million for the same period in 2020, primarily due to increases in discretionary compensation and company-wide travel and entertainment during the second quarter of 2021. As a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased to 14.3% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, from 15.6% for the same three-month period in 2020. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to increased sales.
SG&A increased slightly to $14.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, from $14.4 million for the same period in 2020. As a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased to 14.6% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, from 15.9% for the same three-month period in 2020. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to increased sales.
Interest Income and Expense
Net interest income was approximately $21 thousand for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to net interest expense of approximately $33 thousand for the same period in 2020. The increase in net interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to interest received from the federal government related to income tax refunds.
Net interest income was approximately $5 thousand for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to net interest expense of $49 thousand in the same period of 2020. The increase in net interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to interest received from the federal government related to income tax refunds.
Other (Income) Expense
Other expense was approximately $4 thousand and $35 thousand for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and other income was approximately $7 thousand compared to other expense of approximately $362 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The changes in other expense are primarily generated by changes in the fair value of the swap liability, which is driven by anticipated future interest rate changes, offset by net cash settlement amounts related to the swap.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded tax expense of approximately 24.2% and 20.8% of income before income tax expense, respectively, for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate for the current period as compared to the prior period was largely due to lower discrete income tax benefits from share-based compensation in the three months ended June 30, 2021 than in the comparable period.
The Company recorded tax expense of approximately 22.9% and 18.9% of income before income tax expense, respectively, for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate for the current period was largely due to lower discrete income tax benefits from share-based compensation in the six months ended June 30, 2021 than in the comparable period. The Company notes the potential for volatility in its effective tax rate, as any windfall or shortfall tax benefits related to its share-based compensation plans will be recorded directly into income tax expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company generally funds its operating expenses, capital requirements, and growth plan through internally generated cash and bank credit facilities.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $9.9 million and was primarily a result of net income generated of approximately $8.9 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $4.2 million, share-based compensation of approximately $1.1 million, an increase in deferred taxes of approximately $0.4 million, an increase in accounts payable of approximately $4.0 million due to the timing of vendor payments in the ordinary course of business, and an increase in accrued expenses of approximately $0.3 million. These cash inflows and adjustments to income were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $4.8 million due to higher sales in the last two months of the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in the fourth quarter of 2020, an increase in inventory of approximately $2.5 million due to restocking to historical levels, an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $0.4 million, an increase in refundable income taxes of approximately $0.9 million, an increase in other assets of approximately $0.2 million, and a decrease in other long-term liabilities of approximately $0.2 million.
Net cash used in investing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $3.3 million and was primarily the result of additions of manufacturing machinery and equipment across the Company.
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.6 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, resulting primarily from payments of statutory withholding for stock options exercised and restricted stock units vested.
Outstanding and Available Debt
On February 1, 2018, the Company, as the borrower, entered into an unsecured $70 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as the initial lender, Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and L/C Issuer, and certain other lenders from time to time party thereto. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company’s prior credit agreement.
On December 31, 2020, the Company, as the borrower, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and sole lender, entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated February 1, 2018 (as amended, the “Restated Credit Agreement”).
The First Amendment amended the Restated Credit Agreement by (i) extending the scheduled maturity date from February 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025, and (ii) creating procedures and guidelines for establishing a successor benchmark rate if LIBOR ceases to be available during the term of the revolving credit facility. The Restated Credit Agreement called for interest of LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.0% to 1.5% or, at the discretion of the Company, the bank’s prime rate less a margin that ranges from 0.25% to zero. The First Amendment calls for interest of LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% or, at the discretion of the Company, the bank’s prime rate plus a margin that ranges from zero to 0.25%. In both cases the applicable margin remains dependent upon Company performance. The First Amendment also added certain representations and covenants concerning compliance by the Company with legal requirements.
The credit facilities under the Restated Credit Agreement consist of a $20 million unsecured term loan to the Company and an unsecured revolving credit facility, under which the Company may borrow up to $50 million. The proceeds of the Restated Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, as well as permitted acquisitions. The Company’s obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors.
Under the Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to a minimum fixed-charge coverage financial covenant as well as a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA financial covenant. The Restated Credit Agreement contains other covenants customary for transactions of this type, including restrictions on certain payments, permitted indebtedness and permitted investments. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 there were no amounts outstanding; the applicable interest rate was approximately 1.09%, and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Restated Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were $0.7 million in standby letters of credit outstanding, drawable as a financial guarantee on worker’s compensation insurance policies.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company used interest-rate-related derivative instruments to manage its exposure related to changes in interest rates on its variable-rate debt instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging. Derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, which creates credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty and, therefore, the Company is not exposed to the counterparty’s credit risk. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit profile. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a derivative instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The Company assesses interest rate risk by identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. The Company’s debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. The Company believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments. To meet this objective, in connection with the term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a $20 million, 5‑year interest rate swap agreement under which the Company receives three-month LIBOR plus the applicable margin and pays a 2.7% fixed rate plus the applicable margin. The swap agreement was established to modify the Company’s interest rate exposure by converting the interest on the term loan from a variable rate to a fixed rate to hedge against the possibility of rising interest rates during the term of the loan. As the Company repaid its term loan in full, the swap agreement no longer serves this purpose and may be canceled by the Company prior to its expiration date. The notional amount was approximately $10 million at June 30, 2021. The fair value of the swap as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was approximately $(321) thousand and $(465) thousand, respectively, and is included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value and net cash settlement amounts related to the swap are recorded in other expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income and resulted in income of $64 thousand and expense of $144 thousand, respectively, during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021. In the same periods in 2020, change in the fair value of the swap resulted in income of $8 thousand and expense of $292 thousand, respectively. As the Company has paid the remaining balance of the term loan in its entirety, there is no longer underlying debt to hedge against with the swap. The changes in the fair value of the swap will continue to be accounted for as a financial instrument until the sooner of the time that the Company elects to cancel it or until its maturity.
Future Liquidity
The Company requires cash to pay its operating expenses, purchase capital equipment, and to service its contractual obligations. The Company’s principal sources of funds are its operations and its amended and restated credit facility. The Company generated cash of approximately $9.9 million in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021; however, the Company cannot guarantee that its operations will generate cash in future periods. The Company’s longer-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance and draws on the revolving credit facility are possible. Further, the continued economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could affect the Company’s long-term ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue operations.
Throughout fiscal 2021, the Company plans to continue to add capacity to enhance operating efficiencies in its manufacturing plants. The Company may consider additional acquisitions of companies, technologies, or products that are complementary to its business. The Company believes that its existing resources, including its revolving credit facility, together with cash expected to be generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund its cash flow requirements, including capital asset acquisitions, through the next twelve months.
The Company may also require additional capital in the future to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions or other investments. These capital requirements could be substantial. The Company anticipates that any future expansion of its business will be financed through existing resources, cash flow from operations, the Company's revolving credit facility, or other new financing. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to meet existing financial covenants or obtain other new financing on favorable terms, if at all. The Company's liquidity will be impacted to the extent additional stock repurchases are made under the Company's stock repurchase program.
Stock Repurchase Program
The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method, using the first-in, first-out flow assumption, and includes treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity. On June 16, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Under the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through Rule 10b5-1 plans, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The stock repurchase program will end upon the earlier of the date on which the plan is terminated by the Board or when all authorized repurchases are completed. The timing and amount of stock repurchases, if any, will be determined based upon our evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the program. The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under this program in the first six months of 2021. At June 30, 2021 approximately $9.4 million was available for future repurchases of the Company’s common stock under this authorization.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations and commitments, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in our market risks as previously disclosed in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), the Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. That evaluation did not identify any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our latest fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
From time to time, the Company may be a party to various suits, claims and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company, these suits, claims and complaints should not result in final judgments or settlements that, in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
The Company faces a number of uncertainties and risks that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company's control. For a detailed discussion of the risks that affect our business, please refer to Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes from the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
