NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The information included in the condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited but includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

2014 Sale of AMK Technical Services

On October 1 2014, DMC completed the sale of its AMK Technical Services ("AMK") business. The operating results of AMK have been classified as discontinued operations in all period presented. See Note 9 "Discontinued Operations" for additional disclosures regarding the AMK sale.

NobelClad Restructuring

On October 27, 2014, management announced a plan to restructure its NobelClad European operations. Clad metal plate production is being shifted from facilities in both Rivesaltes, France and Wurgendorf, Germany to the new manufacturing facility in Liebenscheid, Germany. See Note 10 "Restructuring" for additional disclosures regarding these restructuring plans.

DynaEnergetics Restructuring

Corporate Restructuring

In the first quarter of 2015, we eliminated certain positions in our corporate office. Additionally, two of the nine members of our board of directors did not stand for re-election at our Annual meeting in May 2015, and we will continue with a seven-member board. See Note 10 "Restructuring" for additional disclosures regarding these restructuring plans.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dynamic Materials Corporation (“DMC”) and its controlled subsidiaries. Only subsidiaries in which controlling interests are maintained are consolidated. All significant intercompany accounts, profits, and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for each of the periods reported differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to favorable foreign permanent differences, variation in contribution to consolidated pre-tax income from each jurisdiction for the respective periods and differences between the U.S. and foreign tax rates (which range from 20% to 35%) on earnings that have been permanently reinvested.

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or tax laws are included in the provision for income taxes in the period of enactment. The deferred income tax impact of tax credits are recognized

Table of Contents

as an immediate adjustment to income tax expense. We recognize deferred tax assets for the expected future effects of all deductible temporary differences to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. We record a valuation allowance when, based on current circumstances, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, recent financial operations and their associated valuation allowances, if any.

We recognize the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the position; the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured as the largest benefit that is more likely than not of being realized upon ultimate resolution. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in operating expense.

Earnings Per Share

Unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as our restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), are considered participating securities for purposes of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”) and require the use of the two class method for calculating EPS. Under this method, a portion of net income is allocated to these participating securities and therefore is excluded from the calculation of EPS allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below.

Computation and reconciliation of earnings per common share are as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and payable, accrued expenses and lines of credit approximate their fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to revise the presentation of debt issuance costs. Under this pronouncement, entities will present debt issuance costs in their balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the deferred debt issuance costs will continue to be included in interest expense. The pronouncement, which is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued.

In June 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to clarify the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We currently are evaluating the potential impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard and disclosure requirements for U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We currently are evaluating the potential impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which changes the criteria for determining which disposal transactions can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. The pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, however, early adoption is permitted. Any future disposal transaction will be accounted for under this standard.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost (first-in, first-out) or market value. Cost elements included in inventory are material, labor, subcontract costs, and manufacturing overhead. As necessary, we record provisions and maintain reserves for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory. To determine reserve amounts, we regularly review inventory quantities on hand and values, and compare them to estimates of future product demand, market conditions, production requirements and technological developments.

Inventories consist of the following at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and include reserves of $3,036 and $3,117, respectively:



	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Raw materials	$	15,188	$	15,208

Long-term lines of credit	$	33,711	$	22,782

Syndicated Credit Agreement

On February 23, 2015, we entered into a five-year $150,000 syndicated credit agreement (“credit facility”) which amended and replaced in its entirety our prior syndicated credit facility entered into on December 11, 2011. The new credit facility allows for revolving loans of $90,000 in US dollars, $10,000 in alternate currencies and a $50,000 US dollar term loan facility. The term loan facility is available in a single advance and expires 364 days after the February 23, 2015 closing date. If drawn, the term loan is amortizable in quarterly installments as follows: 10% of principal is due in each of years one and two, 20% of principal is due in each of years three and four and 30% of principal is due in year five with the remaining balance due at maturity. The new facility has a $100,000 accordion feature to increase the commitments in any of the three previous loan classes subject to approval by applicable lenders. We entered into the credit facility with a syndicate of four banks, with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. acting as administrative agent for the U.S. and Canadian dollar loans and JP Morgan Europe Ltd. acting as administrative agent for the Euro and other alternate currency loans. The syndicated credit facility is secured by the assets of DMC including accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets, as well as guarantees and share pledges by DMC and its subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the $90,000 revolving loan and $50,000 term loan can be in the form of Alternate Base Rate loans (“ABR” borrowings are based on the greater of adjusted Prime rates, adjusted CD rates, or adjusted Federal Funds rates) or one, two, three, or six month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) loans. ABR loans bear interest at the defined ABR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 1.25%) and LIBOR loans bear interest at the applicable LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.25%).

Borrowings under the $10,000 Alternate Currency revolving loans can be in Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling and any other currency that is freely transferable and convertible to U.S. Dollars. Alternative currency borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be comprised of Canadian Dealer Offered Rate (“CDOR”) Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, at our option, and bear interest at the CDOR rate plus applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.25%) or the applicable Canadian Prime Rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 1.25%), respectively. Alternative currency borrowings denominated in Euros shall be comprised of Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) loans and bear interest at the EURIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.25%). Alternative currency borrowings denominated in any other alternate currency shall be comprised of Eurocurrency loans and bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.25%).

Loan Covenants and Restrictions

Our existing loan agreements include various covenants and restrictions, certain of which relate to the payment of dividends or other distributions to stockholders; redemption of capital stock; incurrence of additional indebtedness; mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets; and maintenance of specified financial ratios. As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.

8. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Our business is organized into two segments: NobelClad and DynaEnergetics. NobelClad's revenues are generated principally from cladding two dissimilar metals together using an explosion-welding process to form plates or transition joints. The clad plates and transition joints are sold to customers that fabricate industrial equipment for various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, alternative energy, hydrometallurgy, aluminum production, shipbuilding, power generation and industrial refrigeration. DynaEnergetics manufactures, markets and sells oilfield perforating equipment and explosives, including detonating cords, detonators, bi-directional boosters and shaped charges, and seismic related explosives and accessories.

9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On October 1, 2014, DMC completed the sale of its AMK business. The net proceeds were $6,830, after final purchase price adjustments. We received $4,330 in cash consideration at closing and a $2,500 90-day secured promissory note, which was paid in full by December 31, 2014. The excess of the selling price over the carrying value of $1,476 was recorded in our Statement of Operations in the fourth quarter 2014. The operating results of AMK have been classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented.

Operating results of the discontinued operations (formerly included with DynaEnergetics in the Oilfield Products segment) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 included net sales of $1,707 and income from discontinued operations of $219, net of tax of $91. Operating results of the discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included net sales of $2,977 and a loss from discontinued operations of $97, net of tax of $15.

10. RESTRUCTURING

NobelClad Restructuring

In October 2014, we signed an agreement to purchase a manufacturing facility in Liebenscheid, Germany and completed the purchase in November 2014. The facility significantly enhances NobelClad’s manufacturing capabilities and its ability to serve customers throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The plant became operational in the second quarter of 2015. In October 2014, management announced a plan to restructure its NobelClad European operations. Clad metal plate production is being shifted from facilities in both Rivesaltes, France and Wurgendorf, Germany to the new manufacturing facility in Liebenscheid, Germany. NobelClad's Rivesaltes plant will continue to produce transition joints with a reduced workforce while the Wurgendorf site was closed and its workers were transferred to the new facility. We incurred pretax restructuring and impairment charges of $6,781 in the fourth quarter of 2014, $54 in the first quarter of 2015 and $504 in the second quarter of 2015 related to this program. Restructuring charges associated with this program were substantially complete as of June 30, 2015.

DynaEnergetics Restructuring

In the first quarter of 2015, we launched several initiatives to enhance DynaEnergetics’ operational efficiencies and align its production and distribution resources with the anticipated demands of the market. In January 2015, we closed two North American distribution centers. On February 24, 2015, we announced the closure of a perforating gun manufacturing facility and distribution center in Edmonton, Alberta. In the second quarter of 2015, North America perforating gun manufacturing was consolidated into DynaEnergetics' existing facility in Whitney, Texas. We also exited multiple other distribution centers in North America and Colombia. The Colombia market is now being served directly from our existing facilities in Texas. Two new centralized distribution centers are replacing the smaller and less efficient distribution centers that were closed. We incurred pretax restructuring and impairment charges of $382 in the first quarter of 2015 and $612 in the second quarter of 2015 related to these programs. Restructuring charges associated with these programs were substantially complete as of June 30, 2015.

Corporate Restructuring

In the first quarter of 2015, we eliminated certain positions in our corporate office. We incurred restructuring charges of approximately $1,560 in the first quarter of 2015 associated with severance and expense related to the acceleration of unvested stock awards. Additionally, two of the nine members of our board of directors did not stand for re-election at our Annual meeting in May 2015, and we will continue with a seven-member board.

11. CONTINGENCIES

The Company records an accrual for contingent liabilities when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. If some amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount is accrued. When no amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the lowest amount in the range is accrued. As of June 30, 2015 and through the date of this filing we had no known pending or threatened litigation that we expect would have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2015, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) sent us a Notice of Action that proposed to classify certain of our imports as subject to anti-dumping duties pursuant to a 2010 anti-dumping duty (“AD”) order on Oil Country Tubular Goods (“OCTG”) from China. A companion countervailing duty (“CVD”) order on the same product is in effect as well. The Notice of Action covered one entry of certain raw material steel mechanical tubing made in China and imported into the U.S. from Canada by our DynaEnergetics segment during 2015 for use in manufacturing perforating guns. In July 2015, we sent a response to U.S. Customs outlining the reasons our mechanical tubing imports do not fall within the scope of the AD order on OCTG from China and should not be subject to anti-dumping duties. Since then U.S. Customs has proposed to take similar action with respect to other recent entries of this product and has requested an approximately $1,100 cash deposit or bond for AD/CVD duties. The estimated AD/CVD duties cash deposit or bond would be held by U.S. Customs until future administrative proceedings determine whether actual, final AD/CVD duties should be assessed. We continue to believe these imports are not subject to the proposed

Table of Contents

duties and are defending these actions. In the interim, we will make AD/CVD cash deposits or post a bond of approximately $1,100 to U.S. Customs in the third quarter of 2015, pending the outcome of this matter. As of June 30, 2015 and through the date of this filing, we have not recorded a liability related to this matter as a loss is neither probable nor estimable.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and notes, as well as the selected historical consolidated financial data that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Unless stated otherwise, all currency amounts are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars (000s).

Executive Overview

Our business is organized into two segments: NobelClad and DynaEnergetics. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, NobelClad accounted for 53% of our net sales while DynaEnergetics accounted for 47% of our net sales.

On October 1, 2014 we completed the sale of our AMK Technical Services ("AMK") business. We have reflected the results of AMK as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Accordingly, historical consolidated statements of operations included in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have been restated to reflect the discontinued operation.

Our consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $13,120, or 13.3%, compared with the same period in 2014. Sales declined $7,718 (16.1%) in DynaEnergetics and $5,402 (10.6%) in NobelClad. Excluding restructuring expenses of $3,112 in the first half of 2015, our consolidated loss from operations was $177 compared with consolidated income of $6,861 for the same period in 2014. The $7,038 decline in consolidated income from operations was due to a decrease in DynaEnergetics' and NobelClad's operating income of $5,832 and $1,077, respectively, and a $129 increase in unallocated corporate expenses and stock-based compensation. Consolidated operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 includes amortization expense of $2,030 and $3,232, respectively. We reported a net loss of $3,696 in the first half of 2015 compared to net income of $3,803 in 2014.

Net sales

NobelClad's revenues are generated principally from cladding two dissimilar metals together using an explosion-welding process to form plates or transition joints. The clad plates and transition joints are sold to customers that fabricate industrial equipment for various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, alternative energy, hydrometallurgy, aluminum production, shipbuilding, power generation and industrial refrigeration. While a large portion of the demand for our clad metal products is driven by new plant construction and large plant expansion projects, maintenance and retrofit projects at existing chemical processing, petrochemical processing, oil refining, and aluminum smelting facilities also account for a significant portion of total demand. These industries tend to be cyclical in nature and timing of new order inflow remains difficult to predict; however, we believe that our NobelClad segment is well-positioned in the marketplace.

Table of Contents

DynaEnergetics manufactures, markets and sells oilfield perforating equipment and explosives, including detonating cords, detonators, bi-directional boosters and shaped charges, and seismic related explosives and accessories.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a relatively small number of customers; therefore, the failure to complete existing contracts on a timely basis, to receive payment for such services in a timely manner, or to enter into future contracts at projected volumes and profitability levels could adversely affect our ability to meet cash requirements exclusively through operating activities. We attempt to minimize the risk of losing customers or specific contracts by continually improving product quality, delivering product on time and competing on the basis of price.

Gross profit and cost of products sold

Cost of of products sold for NobelClad includes the cost of metals and alloys used to manufacture clad metal plates, the cost of explosives, employee compensation and benefits, freight, outside processing costs, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

Cost of products sold for DynaEnergetics includes the cost of metals, explosives and other raw materials used to manufacture shaped charges, detonating products and perforating guns as well as employee compensation and benefits, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

NobelClad Backlog

We use backlog as a primary means to measure the immediate outlook for our NobelClad business. We define “backlog” at any given point in time as all firm, unfulfilled purchase orders and commitments at that time. We expect to fill most backlog orders within 12 months of the order entering the backlog. From experience, most firm purchase orders and commitments are realized. NobelClad's backlog decreased to $37,741 at June 30, 2015 from $41,244 at December 31, 2014.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Net sales



	Three Months Ended June 30,							Percentage
	2015		2014		Change			Change
Net sales	$	44,741	$	51,911	$	(7,170	)	(13.8	)%




	Six Months Ended June 30,							Percentage
	2015		2014		Change			Change
Net sales	$	85,560	$	98,680	$	(13,120	)	(13.3	)%

Our consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2015 decreased 13.8% to $44,741 from $51,911 in the second quarter of 2014. Our consolidated net sales for the first half of 2015 decreased 13.3% to $85,560 from $98,680 in the first half of 2014. The sales decline for the quarter and year-to-date period included unfavorable foreign currency exchange translation of $3,912 and $7,621, respectively, primarily related to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the foreign currencies in which we operate and the impact of a steep decline in the North American rig count and capital spending cuts by exploration and production companies on our DynaEnergetics segment.

NobelClad sales decreased 18.2% to $21,449 (48% of total sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $26,231 (51% of total sales) for the same period of 2014. NobelClad sales decreased 10.6% to $45,393 (53% of total sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $50,795 (51% of total sales) for the same period in 2014. The decline in NobelClad sales for the quarter and year-to-date period includes unfavorable foreign currency exchange translation of $2,425 and $4,558, respectively, and reflects the timing differences with respect to when orders enter our backlog and the subsequent shipment of these orders.

DynaEnergetics contributed $23,292 (52% of total sales) to second quarter 2015 sales, a decrease of 9.3% from sales of $25,680 (49% of total sales) in the second quarter of 2014. DynaEnergetics contributed $40,167 (47% of total sales) to first half 2015 sales, which represents a decrease of 16.1% from sales of $47,885 (49% of total sales) in the first half of 2014. The sales decline for both the quarter and year-to-date period was due to the steep decline in the North American rig count and capital spending cuts by exploration and production companies and also included unfavorable foreign currency exchange translation of $1,487 and $3,063, respectively.

Our consolidated second quarter 2015 gross profit decreased by 20.8% to $12,585 from $15,898 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Our second quarter 2015 consolidated gross profit margin rate decreased to 28.1% from 30.6% in the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, consolidated gross profit decreased by 23.9% to $23,288 from $30,613 for the same period in 2014. Our year-to-date consolidated gross profit margin rate decreased to 27.2% in 2015 from 31.0% in 2014. The decline in gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the prior year primarily was due to unfavorable product mix in NobelClad as well as the impact of lower sales volume on fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The decline in gross profit margin for the first half of 2015 compared with the prior year was due to a lower proportion of sales in DynaEnergetics relative to NobelClad, unfavorable product mix in both segments and the impact of lower sales volume on fixed manufacturing overhead expenses.

NobelClad's gross profit margin decreased from 25.0% in the second quarter of 2014 to 18.6% in the second quarter of 2015. For the six-month period, gross profit margin for this segment decreased to 18.8% in 2015 from 22.2% in 2014. The decrease in both our second quarter and year-to-date gross margin rate relates principally to unfavorable product mix and the impact of lower sales volume on fixed manufacturing overhead expenses.

DynaEnergetics' gross profit margin increased slightly to 37.3% in the second quarter of 2015 from 36.7% in the second quarter of 2014 due to favorable product mix. DynaEnergetics' reported gross profit margin of 37.1% for the first half of 2015 compared to a gross profit margin of 40.6% for the first half of 2014. The change in gross margin performance relates to product mix.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $210, or 3.6%, to $5,561 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $5,771 for the same period in 2014. The decline includes a decrease in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes of $318 and lower stock-based compensation expense of $157, which partially were offset by an increase in recruiting and relocation expenses of $179. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 12.4% in the second quarter of 2015 from 11.1% in the second quarter of 2014.

General and administrative expenses increased by 0.3% to $11,599 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $11,564 for the same period of 2014. The $35 increase includes one-time incremental audit and legal expenses of $450 recognized in the first half of 2015 associated with the restatement of previously-issued financial statements included in our 2014 Form 10-K, which

Selling and distribution expenses increased by 4.8% to $4,958 in the second quarter of 2015 from $4,733 in the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to a $514 increase in commission expense from regional sales mix, which partially was offset by a decrease in bad debt expense of $111 and a decrease in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes of $32. As a percentage of net sales, selling and distribution expenses increased to 11.1% in the second quarter of 2015 from 9.1% in the second quarter of 2014.

Selling and distribution expenses increased 9.8% to $9,836 in the first half of 2015 from $8,956 in the first half of 2014. The increase primarily was due to a $567 increase in commission expense and $310 increase in bad debt expense. As a percentage of net sales, selling and distribution expenses increased to 11.5% for year-to-date 2015 compared to 9.1% for the same period in 2014.

Our consolidated selling and distribution expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 include $1,309 and $3,555, respectively, for our NobelClad and DynaEnergetics business segments as compared to $1,620 and $3,023, respectively, for the second quarter of 2014. Our consolidated selling and distribution expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 include $2,637 and $7,033, respectively for our NobelClad and DynaEnergetics business segments as compared to $3,269 and $5,550, respectively, for the first half of 2014. The higher level of selling and distribution expenses in our DynaEnergetics segment reflects the need, particularly in North America, to maintain strategically located distribution centers to serve our customers.

Amortization expense

Amortization expense primarily relates to intangible assets in connection with acquisitions in DynaEnergetics. The decrease in second quarter and year-to-date 2015 amortization expense reflects a decrease in amortization expense associated with NobelClad's customer relationships, which were fully amortized as of December 31, 2014 and the impact of foreign currency translation. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 includes $737, $236, and $40 relating to values assigned to customer relationships, core technology, and trademarks/trade names, respectively. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 includes $1,275, $293 and $49 relating to values assigned to customer relationships, core technology, and trademarks/trade names, respectively. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 includes $1,472, $478 and $80 relating to values assigned to customer relationships, core technology, and trademarks/trade names, respectively.

Restructuring expenses relate to restructuring programs for NobelClad, DynaEnergetics and our Corporate office. In the fourth quarter of 2014 we made the decision to consolidate our NobelClad European operations. Clad metal plate production is being shifted from facilities in both Rivesaltes, France and Wurgendorf, Germany to a new manufacturing facility in Germany. NobelClad's Rivesaltes plant will continue to produce transition joints with a reduced workforce while the Wurgendorf site was closed and its workers were transferred to the new facility. NobelClad recognized $504 of restructuring expenses in the second quarter of 2015 which included $517 for equipment moving costs, contract termination costs of $29 and an adjustment to severance expense of ($42). Year-to-date 2015 NobelClad recognized $558 of restructuring expenses which included $517 for equipment moving costs, contract termination costs of $40, other exit costs of $4 and an adjustment of ($3) to severance expense.

In the first quarter of 2015, we launched several initiatives to enhance DynaEnergetics’ operational efficiencies and align its production and distribution resources with the anticipated demands of the market. In January 2015, we closed two North American distribution centers. On February 24, 2015, we announced the closure of a perforating gun manufacturing facility and distribution center in Edmonton, Alberta. In the second quarter of 2015, North America perforating gun manufacturing was consolidated into DynaEnergetics' existing facility in Whitney, Texas. We also exited multiple other distribution centers in North America and Colombia. The Colombia market is now being served directly from our existing facilities in Texas. Two new centralized distribution centers are replacing the smaller and less efficient distribution centers that were closed. In the second quarter of 2015, DynaEnergetics incurred restructuring expenses of $612, which included $244 for contract termination costs, $198 for equipment moving cost, $99 for severance, a $3 non-cash asset impairment charge, and $68 in other exit costs. Year-to-date 2015 DynaEnergetics recognized $994 of restructuring expenses, which included $245 for severance costs, $244 for contract termination costs, $230 for equipment moving costs, $205 in non-cash asset impairment charges and other exit costs of $70.

Table of Contents

We reported an operating loss of $63 in the second quarter of 2015 compared to operating income of $3,777 for the same period in 2014. Excluding restructuring expenses, operating income was $1,053 in the second quarter of 2015. We reported an operating loss of $3,289 for the first half of 2015 versus operating income of $6,861 for the same period in 2014. Excluding restructuring charges, we had an operating loss of $177 in the first half of 2015. Our operating results (excluding restructuring expenses) for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014 include $1,449 and $1,490, respectively, of unallocated corporate expenses and $847 and $1,024, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. Year-to-date 2015 and 2014 unallocated corporate expenses were $3,418 and $3,119, respectively, and stock-based compensation expense was $1,571 and $1,741, respectively. These expenses are not allocated to our business segments and thus are not included in the below 2015 and 2014 operating income for NobelClad and DynaEnergetics.

The decline in our consolidated operating income (excluding restructuring expenses) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 reflected operating income decreases of $1,662 and $1,280, respectively, in NobelClad and DynaEnergetics, partially offset by lower unallocated corporate expenses of $41 and a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $177. The decrease in our year-to-date 2015 consolidated operating income (excluding restructuring expense) reflected a decrease in operating income of $5,832 and $1,077, respectively, in our DynaEnergetics and NobelClad segments and an increase in unallocated corporate expense of $299, partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation of $170.

NobelClad's operating income of $986 in the second quarter of 2015 decreased 68.7% from $3,152 in the second quarter of 2014. Excluding $504 of restructuring expenses, NobelClad reported operating income of $1,490 in the second quarter of 2015. Operating results of NobelClad for the second quarter 2015 and 2014 included $95 and $548, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets. NobelClad reported operating income of $2,807 year-to-date 2015 compared to $4,442 for year-to-date 2014. Excluding the impact of $558 in restructuring expenses, NobelClad reported operating income of $3,365 year-to-date 2015. Operating results of NobelClad for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 include $191 and $1,095, respectively, of amortization expense related to purchased intangible assets. The decline in operating income for the quarter and year-to-date periods was attributable to lower sales volume, unfavorable product mix and the impact of lower sales volume on fixed manufacturing overhead expenses, partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense.

DynaEnergetics reported operating income of $1,247 in the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of 60.3% from operating income of $3,139 in the second quarter of 2014. Excluding $612 of restructuring expenses, DynaEnergetics reported operating income of $1,859 in 2015. DynaEnergetics' operating results for the second quarter 2015 and 2014 include $918 and $1,069, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets. DynaEnergetics reported operating income of $453 year-to-date 2015 compared to $7,279 year-to-date 2014. Excluding restructuring charges of $994, DynaEnergetics reported operating income of $1,447. Operating results of DynaEnergetics for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 include $1,839 and $2,137, respectively, of amortization expense related to purchased intangible assets. The decrease in operating income for the second quarter of 2015 was largely attributable to the decline in sales volume and an increase in commission expense. The decrease in year-to-date 2015 operating income was attributable to the decline in sales volume, unfavorable product mix as well as an increase in sales commissions and bad debt expense.

Net other income was $40 in the second quarter of 2015 compared to net other income of $332 in the second quarter of 2014. Our second quarter 2015 net other income of $40 included net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains of $77. Our second quarter 2014 net other income of $332 included net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains of $270.

Net other income was $1,164 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to net other expense of $103 for the same period of 2014. Our first half 2015 net other income included net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains of $1,141. Our first half 2014 net other expense included net realized and unrealized foreign exchange losses of $178.

Our subsidiaries frequently enter into inter-company and third party transactions that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. Changes in exchange rates with respect to these transactions will result in unrealized gains or losses if unsettled at end of the reporting period or realized foreign currency transaction gains or losses at settlement of the transaction.

Net interest expense was $441 for the first half of 2015 compared to net interest expense of $278 for the fist half of 2014. The increase in both the quarter and year-to-date periods reflects loans fees associated with the credit agreement entered into on February 23, 2015.

Effective tax rate	(44.0		)%	39.8		%

For the second quarter of 2015, we recorded an income tax provision of $1,034 with an effective tax rate of (362.8%). This compares with an income tax provision of $1,839 and an effective tax rate of 46.7% for the same period in 2014. Our consolidated income tax provision for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014 included a U.S. tax provision (benefit) of $58 and ($48), respectively, with the remainder relating to net foreign tax provisions associated with our foreign operations and holding companies.

For the first half of 2015, we recorded an income tax provision of $1,130, with an effective tax rate of (44.0%). This compares with an income tax provision of $2,580 and an effective tax rate of 39.8% for the same period in 2014. Our consolidated income tax provision for the first half of 2015 and 2014 included a U.S. tax benefit of ($472) and ($776), respectively, with the remainder relating to net foreign tax provisions associated with our foreign operations and holding companies.

We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence to be evaluated in this assessment is whether there is a three-year cumulative loss incurred in jurisdictions where there are deferred tax assets. We have incurred a three-year cumulative loss in several foreign jurisdictions where we have foreign tax loss carryforwards. As a result, we recorded a valuation allowance against the corresponding net deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions over the last three quarters. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable may adjusted in future periods if positive evidence such as current and expected future taxable income outweighs negative evidence.

Our consolidated effective tax rate can be highly variable based on the mix of jurisdictions where income or loss are generated. Our statutory income tax rates range from 20% to 35% for our various U.S. and foreign operating entities and holding companies. Fluctuations in our consolidated effective tax rate reflect the different tax rates in our U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions

and the variation in contribution to consolidated pre-tax income from each jurisdiction for the respective year. Valuation allowances established against deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions adds to the variability of our effective tax rate.

On October 1, 2014 we completed the sale of the AMK business. The net proceeds were $6,830, after final purchase price adjustments. We received $4,330 in cash consideration at closing and a $2,500 90-day secured promissory note, which was paid in full by December 31, 2014.

Net sales for AMK were $1,707 and $2,977, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. AMK had income from discontinued operations of $219, net of tax of $91, for the second quarter of 2014 and a loss from discontinued operations of $97, net of tax of $15, for the first half of 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA

	2015		2014		Change			Change
Adjusted EBITDA	$	6,577	$	15,213	$	(8,636	)	(56.8	)%

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that we believe provides an important indicator of our ongoing operating performance. Our aggregate non-cash depreciation, amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring charges and stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $4,474 and $4,396, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $9,866 and $8,352, respectively. These aggregate charges represent a significant percentage of the consolidated operating income that we reported for these periods. We use non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in our operational and financial decision-making and believe that these non-GAAP measures facilitate a more meaningful and accurate comparison of the operating performance of our two business segments than do certain GAAP measures. Research analysts, investment bankers and lenders also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance. In addition, during 2014, our management incentive awards were based, in part, upon the amount of EBITDA achieved during the year. A portion of the equity incentive awards granted in 2015 to our named executive officers will be based on the amount of Adjusted EBITDA achieved in 2015 and 2016. The following is a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBIDTA.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 46.0% to $4,411 in the second quarter of 2015 from $8,173 in the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 56.8% to $6,577 year-to-date 2015 from $15,213 for the same period of 2014. The decline in both the quarter and year-to-date period were primarily due to the decline in 2015 operating income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations from a combination of internally generated cash flow, revolving credit borrowings, various long-term debt arrangements, and the issuance of common stock. We believe that cash flow from operations and funds available under our current credit facilities and any future replacement thereof will be sufficient to fund the working capital, debt service, and capital expenditure requirements of our current business operations for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations will depend upon our success in executing our strategies. If we are unable to (i) realize sales from our backlog; (ii) secure new customer orders; (iii) continue selling products at attractive margins; and (iv) continue to implement cost-effective internal processes, our ability to meet cash requirements through operating activities could be impacted. Furthermore, any restriction on the availability of borrowings under our credit facilities could negatively affect our ability to meet future cash requirements.

Debt facilities

On February 23, 2015, we entered into a five-year $150,000 syndicated credit agreement ("credit facility") which amended and replaced in its entirety our prior syndicated credit facility entered into on December 11, 2011. The new credit facility allows for revolving loans of $90,000 in US dollars, $10,000 in alternate currencies and a $50,000 US dollar term loan facility. The term loan facility is available in a single advance and expires 364 days after the February 23, 2015 closing date. If drawn, the term loan is amortizable in quarterly installments as follows: 10% of principal is due in each of years one and two, 20% of principal is due in each of years three and four and 30% of principal is due in year five with the remaining balance due at maturity. The new facility has a $100,000 accordion feature to increase the commitments in any of the three previous loan classes subject to approval by applicable lenders. Our prior credit facility provided revolving loan availability of $36,000, 16,000 Euros and 1,500 Canadian Dollars. We also maintain a line of credit with a German bank for certain DYNAenergetics operations. This line of credit provides a borrowing capacity of 4,000 Euros.

As of June 30, 2015, U.S. dollar revolving loans of $26,500 and Euro revolving loans of $7,211 were outstanding under our credit facility. While we had approximately $69,250 of available revolving credit loan capacity and $50,000 of term loan capacity as of June 30, 2015 under our various credit facilities, future borrowings are subject to compliance with financial covenants that could significantly limit availability.

There are two significant financial covenants under our credit facility, the leverage ratio and debt service coverage ratio requirements. The leverage ratio is defined in the credit facility as Consolidated Funded Indebtedness at the balance sheet date as compared to Consolidated EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before provisions for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, extraordinary, non-recurring charges and other non-cash charges, for the previous twelve months. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, Consolidated EBITDA approximated the “Adjusted EBITDA” that we reported for the respective periods. As of June 30, 2015, the maximum leverage ratio permitted by our credit

Table of Contents

facility was 3.0 to 1.0. The actual leverage ratio as of June 30, 2015 was 1.44 to 1.0. The maximum leverage ratio permitted as of September 30 and December 31, 2015 is 3.0 to 1.0.

The debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the credit facility, means, for any period, the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA less the sum of cash dividends, cash income taxes and the lesser of $8,000 or 100% of depreciation expense to Debt Service Charges. Consolidated EBITDA is defined above and Debt Service Charges equals the sum of cash interest expense and scheduled principal payments of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2015, the minimum debt service coverage ratio permitted by our credit facility was 1.35 to 1.0. The actual debt service coverage ratio for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2015 was 24.04 to 1.0. The minimum debt service coverage ratio permitted for the twelve month periods ending September 30 and December 31, 2015 is 1.35 to 1.0.

Our existing loan agreements include various covenants and restrictions, certain of which relate to the payment of dividends or other distributions to stockholders, redemption of capital stock, incurrence of additional indebtedness, mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets, and maintenance of specified financial ratios. As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.

Other contractual obligations and commitments

Our principal cash flows related to debt obligations and other contractual obligations and commitments have not materially changed since December 31, 2014.

Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $4,717 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This compares to net cash provided by operating activities of $722 for the same period in 2014. The six months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of net cash flows from continuing operations of $674 and net cash flows provided by discontinued operations of $48. The year-over-year decline in continuing operating cash flows of $5,391 was mainly driven by a decline in net income of $7,499, which partially was offset by a $2,165 decrease in net working capital. We experienced unfavorable net working capital changes of $10,266 year-to-date 2015 compared with unfavorable changes in net in working capital of $12,431 in the same period of 2014. Unfavorable changes in our 2015 net working capital included an increase in inventories, accounts receivable and prepaid expenses of $4,755, $1,272 and $1,261, respectively, and decreases of $3,248 and $2,184, respectively in accrued expenses and other liabilities and customer advances. These unfavorable changes were partly offset by a $2,454 increase in accounts payable. The increase in net working capital was driven by a ramp up of inventory associated with a new product introduction in DynaEnergetics, cash payments related to restructuring activities and a decrease in customer advances.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $722 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 which consisted of net cash flows provided by continuing operations of $674 and net cash flows provided by discontinued operations of $48. The year-over-year decline of continuing operations cash flows of $14,071 was driven by a $15,536 net increase in working capital. We experienced unfavorable net working capital changes of $12,431 in the first first half of 2014 compared to net positive changes in working capital of $3,105 in the same period of 2013. Unfavorable changes in our 2014 working capital included an increase in inventories and prepaid expenses of $5,000 and $2,873, respectively, and a decrease of $4,778 in accounts payable. The increases in working capital were driven by a short-term inventory build in DynaEnergetics related to customer order patterns and ramp up of the new DynaSelect system introduction, timing of accounts payable and prepayment for raw materials with long lead times but favorable pricing. These unfavorable changes were partly offset by a $1,613 increase in customer advances.

Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $2,496 and primarily consisted of capital expenditures.

Net cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $4,267 and consisted of cash flows used in investing activities of continuing operations of $4,182 and $85 of net cash flows used in investing activities of discontinued operations. Net cash flows used in investing activities of continuing operations consisted almost entirely of capital expenditures.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the first half of 2015 totaled $9,333, which included net borrowings on bank lines of credit of $11,245, payment of quarterly dividends of $1,125 and payment of deferred debt issuance costs of $1,042.

Table of Contents

Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the first half of 2014 totaled $1,679, which included net borrowinngs on bank lines of credit of $2,555 which was partially offset by payment of quarterly dividends of $1,108.

Payment of Dividends

On May 13, 2015, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share which was paid on July 15, 2015. The dividend totaled $567 and was payable to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2015. We also paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share in the first quarter of 2015 and the first and second quarters of 2014.

We may continue to pay quarterly dividends in the future subject to capital availability and periodic determinations that cash dividends are in compliance with our debt covenants and are in the best interests of our stockholders, but we cannot assure you that such payments will continue. Future dividends may be affected by, among other items, our views on potential future capital requirements, future business prospects, debt covenant compliance, changes in federal income tax laws, or any other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Any decision to pay cash dividends is and will continue to be at the discretion of board of directors.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies have not changed from those reported in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

There have been no events that materially affect our quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk from that reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we identified a material weakness related to deferred income tax accounting for certain foreign entities. More specifically, the calculation of deferred tax positions for certain foreign entities was based on inappropriate methods and supporting data. The controls over reconciliation and review of income tax accounting did not identify the inappropriate methods and supporting data used in the computations. We are currently evaluating the controls and procedures we will design and put in place to remediate this material weakness. These controls and procedures may include the following:


•	Revise, as necessary, the process and internal controls to compile and review deferred tax account balances and their impact on the income tax provision.


•	Add internal and external resources focused on the preparation and review of the tax accounts.


•	Provide income tax accounting training.

We are in the process of remediating this material weakness by executing upon the above actions. The actions that we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as Audit Committee oversight. Although we plan to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible, we cannot at this time estimate how long it will take and our initiatives may not prove to be successful in remediating this material weakness. Management believes the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weakness. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may execute additional measures to address potential control deficiencies or modify the remediation plan described above. Management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our internal controls.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is accurately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of June 30, 2015, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, which includes the material weakness identified at December 31, 2014 discussed above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. There have been no other changes in our internal controls during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 or in other factors that could materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. As a result of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. As a result of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
