In particular, we direct your attention to Part I, Item 1- Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk; and Part II, Item 1A — Risk Factors. We intend the forward-looking statements throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated by reference herein to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. Statements contained in this report which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. All projections, guidance and other statements regarding our expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, our financing plans and the outcome of any contingencies are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” and other phrases of similar meaning. The forward-looking information is based on information available as of the date of this quarterly report and on numerous assumptions and developments that are not within our control. Although we believe that our expectations as expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will turn out to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in global economic conditions; the ability to obtain new contracts at attractive prices; the size and timing of customer orders and shipment; our ability to realize sales from our backlog; fluctuations in customer demand; fluctuations in foreign currencies; competitive factors; the timely completion of contracts; the timing and size of expenditures; the timely receipt of government approvals and permits; the price and availability of metal and other raw material; the adequacy of local labor supplies at our facilities; current or future limits on manufacturing capacity at our various operations; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses; the availability and cost of funds; and general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, impacting our business and the business of the end-market users we serve. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

DYNAMIC MATERIALS CORPORATION
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, 2015.

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 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”) during periods in which we have net income 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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In November 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in the statement of financial position based on an analysis of each taxpaying component within a jurisdiction. This ASU would be effective for the Company December 1, 2017, however the Company has elected to early adopt prospectively beginning with the year ended December 31, 2015, as is permitted under the standard.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 new accounting guidance represents a change in accounting principle and is required to be adopted retrospectively in fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Accordingly, the Company applied the guidance and reclassified the prior period amount of $674 of debt issuance costs from other assets, net to lines of credit in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. Because the application of this guidance affects classification only, such reclassifications did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting pronouncement related to accounting for share-based payments. The pronouncement intends to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, the classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding the financial reporting of leasing transactions. This new standard requires a lessee to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations arising from leases with terms of more than 12 months. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to simplify the measurement of inventory and changes the measurement from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We currently are evaluating the potential impact the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures.

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 the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures.

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, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and include reserves of $3,993 and $3,682, respectively:

The change in the gross value of our purchased intangible assets from December 31, 2015 to June 30, 2016 was due to foreign currency translation and an adjustment due to recognition of tax benefit of tax amortization previously applied to certain goodwill related to the DynaEnergetics reporting unit. After the goodwill was written off at December 31, 2015, the tax amortization reduces other noncurrent intangible assets related to the historical acquisition.

6.      CUSTOMER ADVANCES
 
On occasion, we require customers to make advance payments prior to the shipment of goods in order to help finance our inventory investment on large orders or to keep customers’ credit limits at acceptable levels.  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, customer advances totaled $5,123 and $2,396, respectively, and originated from several customers.

Syndicated Credit Agreement

We have a five-year $75,000 syndicated credit agreement (“credit facility”), which allows for revolving loans of $65,000 in US dollars and $10,000 in alternate currencies as well as a $100,000 accordion feature to increase the commitments in any of the loan classes subject to approval by applicable lenders. We also maintain a line of credit with a German bank for certain European operations. This line of credit provides a borrowing capacity of €4,000, of which €1,556 is available. 

Borrowings under the $65,000 revolving 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 1.50%) and LIBOR loans bear interest at the applicable LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.75%).

Borrowings under the $10,000 Alternate Currency revolving loans can be in Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pound 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 2.75%) or the applicable Canadian Prime Rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 1.50%), 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 2.75%). 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 2.75%).

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, 2016, 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 shaped charges, detonators and detonating cord, perforating guns, and bidirectional boosters for sale to customers that perform the perforation of oil and gas wells and to customers involved in oil and gas exploration activities.
The accounting policies of all of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.  Our reportable segments

9.      RESTRUCTURING

During 2016 and 2015, we executed several programs to enhance operating efficiencies across our businesses, including closing distribution and production centers, consolidating manufacturing to more cost-effective locations, and reducing corporate headcount.

NobelClad Restructuring
Beginning in 2014 and continuing into 2015, NobelClad shifted the majority of clad metal plate production from facilities in Rivesaltes, France and Würgendorf, Germany to its manufacturing facility in Liebenscheid, Germany.

DynaEnergetics Restructuring
In the second quarter of 2016, DynaEnergetics reduced headcount in Troisdorf, Germany and Austin, Texas. During the third quarter of 2016, we will incur additional expenses to relocate perforating gun manufacturing operations from the current leased facility in Troisdorf, Germany to a new facility in Liebenscheid, Germany and to consolidate administrative offices to Houston, Texas.
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. In February 2015, we announced the closure of a perforating gun manufacturing facility and distribution center in Edmonton, Alberta. North America perforating gun manufacturing was consolidated at DynaEnergetics existing gun facility in Whitney, Texas. We also exited several other distribution centers in Texas and Colombia, and the Colombia market is now served directly from our existing facilities in Texas. Two centralized distribution centers replaced the distribution centers closed.
Corporate Restructuring
In conjunction with the DynaEnergetics cost reductions announced in the second quarter of 2016, we eliminated certain positions and incurred restructuring charges associated with the accelerated vesting of stock awards.

In the first quarter of 2015, we restructured our corporate office by eliminating certain positions, and incurred restructuring charges associated with severance and accelerated vesting of stock awards.

Total restructuring and impairment charges incurred for these programs are as follows and are reported in the “restructuring expenses” line item in our consolidated statement of operations:

10.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingent Liabilities

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.

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. U.S. Customs proposed to take similar action with respect to other entries of this product and requested an approximately $1,100 cash deposit or bond for AD/CVD duties.


17

Table of Contents

In August 2015, we posted the bond of approximately $1,100 to U.S. Customs. Subsequently, U.S. Customs declined to conclude on the Company's assertion that the mechanical tubing the Company has been importing is not within the scope of the AD order on OCTG from China. As a result, on September 25, 2015 the Company filed a request for a scope ruling with the U.S. Department of Commerce ("Commerce Department").

On February 15, 2016, the Company received the Commerce Department’s scope ruling, which determined certain imports, primarily used for gun carrier tubing, are included in the scope of the AD/CVD orders on OCTG from China and thus is subject to AD/CVD duties.

On March 11, 2016, the Company filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of International Trade related to the Commerce Department’s scope ruling. In its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a $6.4 million reserve for AD/CVD duties and interest that the Company expects to pay if it is unsuccessful in its appeal. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $80 of interest on its reserve for AD/CVD duties.

The Company will incur legal defense costs and could also be subject to additional interest and penalties. Accruals for potential penalties are not reflected in our financial statements as of June 30, 2016 as they are neither probable nor estimable at this time.

11.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In July 2016, DynaEnergetics purchased a new manufacturing facility in Liebenscheid, Germany for $2,188 and will relocate perforating gun manufacturing operations from its current leased facility in Troisdorf, Germany during the third quarter of 2016. Additionally, on July 15, 2016, DynaEnergetics consolidated its North American administrative office to Houston, Texas from Austin, Texas. During the second half of 2016, DynaEnergetics will incur restructuring expenses of approximately $750 related to the completion of these activities.

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, 2015.
 
Unless stated otherwise, all currency amounts are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars (000s).
 
Overview

Dynamic Materials Corporation ("DMC") operates a diversified family of technical product and process businesses serving the energy, industrial and infrastructure markets. Our businesses operate globally through an international network of manufacturing, distribution and sales facilities. Our business is organized into two segments: NobelClad and DynaEnergetics.

NobelClad

NobelClad manufactures clad metal plates and transition joints, which are made from clad plates, for sale to customers that fabricate industrial equipment for various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, alternative energy, hydrometallurgy, aluminum production, shipbuilding, power generation, industrial refrigeration, and similar industries. 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. 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.  Generally speaking, we expect to fill most backlog orders within the following 12 months.  From experience, most firm purchase orders and commitments are realized. Our NobelClad backlog decreased to $34,479 at June 30, 2016 from $41,832 at December 31, 2015.

The largest component of NobelClad's cost of products sold is the cost of metals and alloys used to manufacture clad metal plates. Because NobelClad's metal products are primarily produced for custom projects and conform to requirements set forth in customers’ purchase orders, it holds a limited metal inventory and purchases its raw materials based on contract specifications. Under most contracts, any raw material price increases are passed on to NobelClad’s customers. In a declining price market for metals, NobelClad experiences corresponding declines in revenue.

DynaEnergetics
DynaEnergetics manufactures shaped charges, detonators and detonating cord, perforating guns, and bidirectional boosters for sale to customers that perform the perforation of oil and gas wells and to customers involved in oil and gas exploration activities.

These products are sold to large, mid-sized, and small oilfield service companies in the U.S., Europe, Canada, South America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. DynaEnergetics also sells directly to end-users. The market for perforating products, which are used during the well completion process, generally corresponds with oil and gas exploration and production activity. Exploration activity over the last several years has led to increasingly complex well completion operations, which in turn, has increased the demand for high quality and technically advanced perforating products.

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.

Factors Affecting Results

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the following factors most affected our performance

DynaEnergetics experienced a further decline in customer activity, unfavorable product mix, and severe pricing pressure in the oil and gas well-completions sector, which is the segment's primary end market.
NobelClad completed shipments of specialized plates for a large semiconductor capital equipment project in East Asia, and expects to complete shipments on a large project in the food and agricultural inputs industry in the third quarter.

Table of Contents

Restructuring expenses of $829 were recorded primarily related to severance for headcount reductions in Troisdorf, Germany and Austin, Texas in the DynaEnergetics segment.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses of $8.9 million for the second quarter were reduced from $10.5 million in the second quarter last year.
Net debt was reduced 34% to $14.1 million from $21.2 million at December 31, 2015.
The Company continued its investments in R&D, as well as technology, product and market development initiatives.

Net sales The decrease compared with 2015 was due to a 36% decrease in DynaEnergetics partially offset by a 23% increase in NobelClad. DynaEnergetics continued to experience deteriorating demand in its end markets while NobelClad results were favorably impacted by the shipment of a large project related to specialized explosion clad plates to be used in the fabrication of equipment for a semiconductor material production facility in East Asia.

Gross profit The decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin compared with 2015 was due to unfavorable price and product mix in DynaEnergetics partially offset by improved margins in NobelClad from favorable project mix, including the semiconductor-related project mentioned above.

General and administrative expenses The decrease compared with 2015 primarily was due to lower salaries and benefits as a result headcount reductions, a decline in stock-based compensation, and lower spending on outside services.

Selling and distribution expenses The decrease compared with 2015 principally was due to lower bad debt expense, a decrease in outside sales agent commissions and the impact of closing multiple distribution centers in DynaEnergetics as part of its previously announced restructuring programs.

Restructuring charges For the three months ended June 30, 2016 the components of restructuring charges were as follows:

NobelClad's restructuring relates to shifting of the majority of clad metal plate production from facilities in Rivesaltes, France and Würgendorf, Germany to its manufacturing facility in Liebenscheid, Germany.

DynaEnergetics' restructuring relates to the consolidation of perforating gun manufacturing centers, the closure of distribution centers, and the reduction of administrative workforce at the corporate offices in Troisdorf, Germany.

Operating loss The increase compared with 2015 was due to a decrease in DynaEnergetics operating income partially offset by higher operating income at NobelClad and lower corporate unallocated and stock-based compensation expenses. Corporate unallocated and stock-based compensation expenses are not allocated to our business segments.

Other income (expense), net The increase compared with 2015 primarily was due to an increase in unrealized foreign currency gains. 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.

Interest income (expense), net The increase compared with 2015 was due to interest on the accrued anti-dumping duties within the DynaEnergetics segment.

Income tax provision (benefit) We recorded an income tax benefit of $148 for the second quarter of 2016 compared with income tax expense of $1,034 for the second quarter of 2015. We currently are unable to recognize tax benefits associated with losses incurred in certain jurisdictions due to valuation allowances recorded against our deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.

Net loss As a result of the factors discussed above, net loss for three months ended June 30, 2016 was $766, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $1,319, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the same period in 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA The decrease compared with 2015 primarily was due to a larger operating loss compared to 2015 as well as a tax benefit in the current period compared with a tax provision in 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measure that we believe provides an important indicator of our ongoing operating performance. We define EBITDA as net income plus or minus net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation, restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance (as further described in the following financial schedules).

21

Table of Contents


EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as income measures that exclude restructuring expenses (ex-items), are non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its operational and financial decision-making, believing that it is useful to eliminate certain items in order to focus on what it deems to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance. As a result, internal management reports used during monthly operating reviews feature Adjusted EBITDA and certain management incentive awards are based, in part, on the amount of Adjusted EBITDA achieved during the year.

The presence of non-GAAP financial measures in this report is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, DMC’s GAAP information, and investors are cautioned that the non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and may be unique to DMC, should not be considered as a supplement to DMC’s GAAP financial measures and do not reflect any positive or negative trends in DMC’s performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, DMC’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following is a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA and Adjusted EBIDTA.

Net sales The decrease compared with 2015 was due to a 24% decrease in DynaEnergetics partially offset by a 13% increase in NobelClad. The decline in DynaEnergetics was due to deteriorating demand in the oil and gas well-completions sector while the increase in NobelClad primarily was due to shipment of the semiconductor-related project in Q2 2016.

Gross profit The decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin compared with 2015 primarily was due to unfavorable price and product mix in DynaEnergetics and a 10% increase in the proportion of sales in NobelClad relative to DynaEnergetics.

General and administrative expenses The decrease compared with 2015 primarily was due to a reduction in salaries and benefits from lower headcount during the period, lower stock-based compensation and a decrease in spending on outside services. The first half of 2015 also included incremental audit and legal expenses of $450 associated with the restatement of previously-issued financial statements included in our 2014 Form 10-K.

Selling and distribution expenses The decrease compared with 2015 principally was due to lower salaries and benefits, a decrease in outside sales agent commissions, and outside service costs.

NobelClad's restructuring relates to shifting of the majority of clad metal plate production from facilities in Rivesaltes, France and Würgendorf, Germany to its manufacturing facility in Liebenscheid, Germany.

DynaEnergetics' restructuring relates to the consolidation of perforating gun manufacturing centers, the closure of distribution centers, and the reduction of administrative workforce at its corporate offices in Troisdorf, Germany.

Corporate restructuring relates to severance payments and the accelerated vesting of stock awards associated with
the elimination of certain positions in our corporate office.

Operating income The decrease compared with 2015 was due to a decline in DynaEnergetics' operating income partially offset by lower corporate unallocated and stock-based compensation expenses and a increase in NobelClad's operating income. Corporate unallocated and stock-based compensation expenses are not allocated to our business segments.

Other income (expense), net The decrease compared with 2015 primarily was due to an increase in realized foreign currency losses in 2016. 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.

Interest income (expense), net The increase compared with 2015 was due to interest expense recorded on the accrued anti-dumping duties within the DynaEnergetics segment.

Income tax provision We recorded income tax expense of $49 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with income tax expense of $1,130 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. We currently are unable to recognize tax benefits associated with losses incurred in certain jurisdictions due to valuation allowances recorded against our deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.

Net loss As a result of the factors discussed above, net loss for six months ended June 30, 2016 was $1,179, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $3,696, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the same period in 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA The decrease compared with 2015 primarily was due to lower income tax provision and restructuring charges partially offset by a smaller net loss compared to 2015,

See explanation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA under the comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2016 with the same period of 2015. The following is a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA and Adjusted EBIDTA.

Business Segment Financial Information

We primarily evaluate performance and allocate resources based on segment revenues, operating income and adjusted EBITDA as well as projected future performance. Segment operating income is defined as revenues less expenses identifiable to the segment. Segment operating income will reconcile to consolidated income before income taxes by deducting unallocated corporate expenses, including stock-based compensation, net other expense, net interest expense, and income tax provision.

Net sales The increase compared with 2015 reflects the timing differences with respect to when orders enter our backlog and the subsequent shipment of these orders. During the second quarter of 2016, NobelClad shipped a large order related to specialized explosion clad plates to be used in the fabrication of equipment for a semiconductor material production facility in East Asia.

Gross profit The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin compared with 2015 primarily was due to more favorable margins on its mix of projects in the second quarter of 2016 compared with the same period in 2015 and lower manufacturing overhead expenses driven by the consolidation of its European manufacturing facilities.

General and administrative expenses The decrease compared with 2015 primarily was attributable to lower outside services as well as lower salaries and wages.

Selling and distribution expenses The increase compared with 2015 primarily was attributable to higher outside sales agent commissions driven by an increase in net sales.

Net sales The decrease compared with 2015 primarily was due to continued deterioration in demand in DynaEnergetics' end markets.

Gross profit The decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin compared with 2015 was due to unfavorable product mix combined with lower pricing driven by ongoing reduction in oil and gas well completion activity.

General and administrative expenses The decrease compared with 2015 primarily was due to headcount reductions associated with our previously announced restructuring programs.

Selling and distribution expenses The decrease compared with 2015 was principally due to lower salaries and wages, including the impact of closing multiple distribution centers in 2015, combined with a decrease in outside sales agents' commission expense attributable to lower sales volume in territories in which DynaEnergetics does not have a captive sales force.


27

Table of Contents

Restructuring expense DynaEnergetics' restructuring activity in 2016 relates to severance for headcount reductions in Troisdorf, Germany and Austin, Texas. Corporate restructuring relates to the accelerated vesting of stock awards in connection with the elimination of certain positions within DynaEnergetics. Restructuring activity in 2015 relates to the closure of a number of distribution centers in North America and Colombia and the closure of a perforating gun manufacturing facility and distribution center in Edmonton, Alberta.

Operating income (loss) DynaEnergetics recorded an operating loss compared with operating income in 2015 primarily due to significantly lower sales volume and gross profit margin partially offset by lower general and administrative and selling and distribution expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA The decrease compared with 2015 is primarily due to a current period operating loss compared to operating income for the same period in prior year. See explanation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA under "Consolidated Results of Operations."

Net sales The decrease compared with 2015 primarily was due to deteriorating demand in DynaEnergetics' end markets.

Gross profit The decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin compared with 2015 primarily was due to unfavorable product mix combined with pricing pressure driven by ongoing reduction in oil and gas well completion activity.

General and administrative expenses The decrease compared with 2015 primarily was due to headcount reductions associated with our previously announced restructuring programs.

Selling and distribution expenses The decrease compared with 2015 was principally due to lower salaries and wages including the impact of closing multiple distribution centers in 2015 combined with a decrease in outside sales agents commission expense.

Restructuring expense DynaEnergetics restructuring in 2016 relates to severance for headcount reductions in Troisdorf, Germany and Austin, Texas. Restructuring activity in 2015 relates to the closure of a number of distribution centers

in North America and Colombia and the closure of a perforating gun manufacturing facility and distribution center in Edmonton, Alberta.

Operating income (loss) DynaEnergetics recorded an operating loss compared with operating income in 2015 primarily due to significantly lower sales volume and gross profit margin partially offset by lower general and administrative and selling and distribution expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA The decrease compared with 2015 is primarily due to lower operating income. See explanation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA under "Consolidated Results of Operations." The following is a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA and Adjusted EBIDTA.

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 interest service, dividend payments, 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) 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.  Additionally, continued challenging conditions in our core energy markets could impact our ability to meet cash requirements through operating activities. Furthermore, any restriction on the availability of borrowings under our credit facilities could negatively affect our ability to meet future cash requirements.

Debt facilities
 
We have a a five-year $75,000 syndicated credit agreement (“credit facility”), which allows for revolving loans of $65,000 in US dollars and $10,000 in alternate currencies as well as a $100,000 accordion feature to increase the commitments in any of the loan classes subject to approval by applicable lenders. 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, 2016, U.S. dollar revolving loans of $23,500 were outstanding under our credit facility.  While we had approximately $51,500 of available revolving credit loan capacity as of June 30, 2016 under our various credit facilities, future borrowings are subject to compliance with financial covenants that could significantly limit such 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, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, Consolidated EBITDA approximated the “Adjusted EBITDA” that we reported for the respective periods.  Under our credit facility, the maximum leverage ratio permitted by our credit facility is 3.75 to 1.0. The actual leverage ratio for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2016 was 1.88 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 capital expenditures 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.  Under our credit facility, the minimum debt service coverage ratio permitted by our credit facility is 1.35 to 1.0. The actual debt service coverage ratio for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2016 was 8.20 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, 2016, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.
 
Other contractual obligations and commitments
 
Our long-term debt balance decreased to $23,500 at June 30, 2016 from $27,500 at December 31, 2015. Our other contractual obligations and commitments have not materially changed since December 31, 2015.

Cash flows from operating activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $8,442 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This compares to net cash used in operating activities of $4,717 for the same period in 2015. The year-over-year increase in operating cash flows of $13,159 was primarily driven by a $13,216 decrease in net working capital. We experienced favorable net working capital changes of $2,950 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with unfavorable changes in net in working capital of $10,266 in the same period of 2015. Favorable changes in our first half 2016 working capital included a $7,120 decrease in accounts receivable due to lower sales and the timing of collections, a $2,717 increase in customer advances related to customer prepayments in NobelClad, and a $2,300 reduction in inventory. These favorable changes in working capital were partially offset by a $5,901 decrease in accounts payable from a decline in purchases and a $3,454 increase in prepaid expenses.

 Net cash used in operating activities was $4,717 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. We experienced unfavorable net working capital changes of $10,266 in the 2015 period, including an increase in inventories, receivables, and prepaid expenses of $4,755, $1,272, and $1,261, respectively, and a decrease of $2,184 in customer advances. These unfavorable changes partially were offset by an increase in accounts payable of $2,454. 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 in NobelClad.

Cash flows from investing activities
 
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $1,160 and primarily consisted of capital expenditures.
 
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $2,496 and consisted almost entirely of capital expenditures.

Cash flows from financing activities
 
Net cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $4,385, which included net repayments on bank lines of credit of $4,000 and payment of quarterly dividends of $571
 
Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 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
 
Payment of Dividends
 
On May 11, 2016, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.02 per share which was paid on July 15, 2016.  The dividend totaled $289 and was payable to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2016.  We also paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.02 per share in the first quarter of 2016 and 0.04 per share in the first and second quarters of 2015.
 
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 our 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, 2015.

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, 2015.
 
ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, a material weakness in our controls over deferred income tax accounting was identified during the course of the 2014 external audit of the accounts and related controls. As a result of the significance of the accounting errors resulting from the deficient controls, we restated 2012 and 2013 financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

In 2015, we took steps to remediate the material weakness, including:

Hired a new Global Tax Director.
Engaged third-party tax advisors to assist with designing and implementing processes and procedures to compile, reconcile and review income tax accounts.
Provided income tax training and development to tax personnel.

Although we implemented new processes and procedures in 2015, we concluded that the material weakness was not remediated as of December 31, 2015 as the existing controls were not in place for an adequate period of time to ensure proper operation and additional controls are required to be implemented for our income tax accounting. During the remainder of 2016, the Company will continue the internal control process and documentation improvements and testing related to deferred income tax and related income tax expense accounts in order to conclude on the remediation efforts.

The remediation efforts 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 already implemented actions, along with any additional controls 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, 2016, 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 and not remediated as of December 31, 2015 as 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, 2016 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.
