CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend the forward-looking statements throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q 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. 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. Such statements include the planned reduction in spending and our 2020 capital budget, our ability to access the capital markets and the availability of proceeds from our at-the-market offering to support our liquidity position and our expected future liquidity position. 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, those factors referenced in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and such things as the following: impacts of COVID-19 and any related preventative or protective actions taken by governmental authorities and resulting economic impacts, including recessions or depressions; the ability to obtain new contracts at attractive prices; the size and timing of customer orders and shipments; product pricing and margins; 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; fluctuations in tariffs or quotas; changes in laws and regulations, both domestic and foreign, impacting our business and the business of the end-market users we serve; 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 impact of pending or future litigation or regulatory matters; the availability and cost of funds; our ability to access our borrowing capacity under our credit facility; and global economic conditions and political and economic developments, including the outcome of the U.S. presidential election and resulting energy and environmental policies. 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.

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, 2019.

2.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DMC Global Inc. (“DMC”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) 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.

Accounts Receivable
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding credit losses for financial instruments. The new standard requires entities to measure expected credit losses for certain financial assets held at the reporting date using a current expected credit loss model, which is based on historical experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company's financial instruments within the scope of this guidance primarily include accounts receivable.

On January 1, 2020, we adopted the new standard under the modified retrospective approach, such that comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of the new accounting standard as an adjustment to the January 1, 2020 balance of Retained Earnings in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the adoption of the new accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations given limited historical write-off activity within each of the Company’s segments.

In accordance with the new standard, the Company has disaggregated pools of accounts receivable balances by business, geography and/or customer risk profile, and has used history and other experience to establish an allowance for credit losses at the time the receivable is recognized, rather than the historical approach of establishing reserves when accounts receivable balances age or demonstrate they will not be collected. To measure expected credit losses, we have elected to pool trade receivables by segment and analyze DynaEnergetics and NobelClad accounts receivable balances as separate populations. Within each segment, receivables exhibit similar risk characteristics.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we increased our expected loss rate due to the COVID-19 pandemic-related collapse in oil and gas demand and resulting downturn in well completions. In addition, we continued to review receivables outstanding, including aged balances, and in circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation to us, we recorded a specific allowance for credit losses (with the offsetting expense charged to “Selling and distribution expenses” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) against the amounts due, reducing the net recognized receivable to the amount we estimate will be collected. In total, provisions of $3,327 were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The following table summarizes activity in the allowance for credit losses on receivables from DynaEnergetics and NobelClad customers:

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from consideration paid by customers for tangible goods. The Company analyzes its different goods by segment to determine the appropriate basis for revenue recognition. Revenue is not generated from sources other than contracts with customers and revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. There are no material upfront costs for operations that are incurred from contracts with customers.

Our rights to payments for goods transferred to customers arise when control is transferred at a point in time and not on any other criteria. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days. In instances when we require customers to make advance payments prior to the shipment of their orders, we record a contract liability. We have determined that our contract liabilities do not include a significant financing component given the short duration between order initiation and order fulfillment within each of our segments. Please refer to Note 5 “Contract Liabilities” for further information on contract liabilities and Note 9 “Business Segments” for disaggregated revenue disclosures.

Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis 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 is 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 that it 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 to be realized upon ultimate resolution. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in operating expense.

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) using a two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for (i) each class of common stock (the Company has a single class of common stock), and (ii) participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Restricted stock awards are considered participating securities in periods with net income as they receive non-forfeitable rights to dividends similar to common stock. Restricted stock awards do not participate in net losses.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS adjusts basic EPS for the effects of restricted stock awards, performance share units and other potentially dilutive financial instruments (dilutive securities), only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. The effect of the dilutive securities is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the more dilutive of (1) the treasury stock method or (2) the two-class method assuming nonvested shares are not converted into

shares of common stock. For the periods presented, diluted EPS using the treasury stock method was less dilutive than the two-class method; as such, only the two-class method has been included below.

Deferred compensation

The Company maintains a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) as part of its overall compensation package for certain employees. Participants are eligible to defer a portion of their annual salary, their annual incentive bonus, and their equity awards through the Plan on a tax-deferred basis. Deferrals into the Plan are not matched or subsidized by the Company, nor are they eligible for above-market or preferential earnings.

The Plan provides for deferred compensation obligations to be settled either by delivery of a fixed number of shares of DMC’s common stock or in cash, in accordance with participant contributions and elections. For deferred equity awards, subsequent to equity award vesting and after a period prescribed by the Plan, participants can elect to diversify contributions of equity awards into other investment options available to Plan participants. Once diversified, contributions of equity awards will be settled by delivery of cash.

The Company has established a grantor trust commonly known as a “rabbi trust” and contributed certain assets to satisfy the future obligations to participants in the Plan. These assets are subject to potential claims of the Company’s general creditors. The assets held in the trust include unvested RSAs, vested company stock awards, company-owned life insurance (“COLI”) on certain employees, and money market and mutual funds. Unvested RSAs and common stock held by the trust are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within “Treasury stock, at cost, and company stock held for deferred compensation, at par” at the par value of the common stock or unvested RSAs. These accounts are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the fair value of the common stock. COLI is accounted for at the cash surrender value while money market and mutual funds held by the trust are accounted for at fair value. The balances of $6,455 as of September 30, 2020 and $4,461 as of December 31, 2019 were reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within “Other assets.”

Deferred compensation obligations that will be settled in cash are accounted for on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The balances of $9,924 as of September 30, 2020 and $6,143 as of December 31, 2019 were reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within “Other long-term liabilities.” These obligations are adjusted based on changes in value of

the underlying investment options chosen by Plan participants. Deferred compensation that will be settled by delivery of a fixed number of previously vested shares of the Company’s common stock are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity within “Common stock” at the par value of the common stock or unvested RSAs. These accounts are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the fair value of the common stock.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We are required to use an established hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation and the degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:                   

Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible as of the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation include quoted prices in either markets that are not active, or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 

The highest priority is assigned to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

The carrying value of accounts receivable and payable, accrued expenses, revolving loans under our credit facility and borrowings under our capital expenditure facility approximate their fair value. Our revolving loans and borrowings under our capital expenditure facility reset each month at market interest rates.

Our foreign currency forward contracts are valued using quoted market prices or are determined using a yield curve model based on current market rates. As a result, we classify these investments as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Money market funds and mutual funds of $3,322 as of September 30, 2020 and $2,420 as of December 31, 2019 were held to satisfy future deferred compensation obligations are valued based upon the market values of underlying securities, and therefore we classify these assets as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

We did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding credit losses for financial instruments. The new standard requires entities to measure expected credit losses for certain financial assets held at the reporting date using a current expected credit loss model, which is based on historical experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The Company's financial instruments within the scope of this guidance primarily include accounts receivable. Please refer to “Accounts Receivable” for further information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding accounting for income taxes. The new standard removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 Income Taxes and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to provide for more consistent application. The new standard will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this update will have on our consolidated financial statements.

3.      INVENTORIES
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. Significant cost elements included in inventory are material, labor, freight, subcontract costs, and manufacturing overhead. As necessary, we adjust inventory to its net realizable value by recording provisions for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory. 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.

Total intangible assets$54,796 $(48,916)$5,880 
 
The change in the gross value of our purchased intangible assets from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020 was due to foreign currency translation and an adjustment due to the recognition of tax benefit of tax amortization previously applied to certain goodwill related to the NobelClad and DynaEnergetics reporting units. After the goodwill was written off at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2015, respectively, the tax amortization reduces other noncurrent intangible assets related to the historical acquisition.

5.      CONTRACT LIABILITIES
 
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. Contract liabilities were as follows:
September 30, 2020December 31, 2019
NobelClad$4,813 $1,427 
DynaEnergetics382 1,309 
Total$5,195 $2,736 

We expect to recognize the revenue associated with contract liabilities over a time period no longer than one year. Of the $2,736 recorded as contract liabilities at December 31, 2019, $2,015 was recorded to net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

6.      LEASES

The Company leases real properties for use in manufacturing and as administrative and sales offices, and leases automobiles and office equipment. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease arrangement at the inception of the contract. For leases in which the Company is the lessee, leases are classified as either finance or operating. Right of use (ROU)
14

Table of Contents

assets are initially measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term plus initial direct costs, if any, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. If a lease does not provide a discount rate and the rate cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the future lease payments. Lease and non-lease components within the Company’s lease agreements are accounted for together.

Nearly all of the Company’s leasing arrangements are classified as operating leases. ROU asset and lease liability balances were as follows for the periods presented:

September 30, 2020December 31, 2019
ROU asset10,751 10,423 
Current lease liability1,804 1,716 
Long-term lease liability10,155 9,777 
Total lease liability$11,959 $11,493 

The ROU asset was included in “Other assets” while the current lease liability was reported in “Other current liabilities” and the long-term lease liability was reported in “Other long-term liabilities” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Cash paid for operating lease liabilities are recorded as cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, operating lease costs were $1,055 and $784, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, operating lease costs were $3,051 and $2,220, respectively. Operating lease costs were included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Short term and variable lease costs were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Certain of the Company’s leases contain renewal options and options to extend the leases for up to five years, and a majority of these options are reflected in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability due to the likelihood of renewal.

The following table summarizes the weighted average lease terms and discount rates for operating lease liabilities:

Syndicated Credit Agreement

On March 8, 2018, we entered into a five-year $75,000 syndicated credit agreement (“credit facility”) which replaced in its entirety our prior syndicated credit facility entered into on February 23, 2015. The credit facility allows for revolving loans of up to $50,000 with a $20,000 US dollar equivalent sublimit for alternative currency loans. In addition, the agreement provided for a $25,000 Capital Expenditure Facility (“Capex Facility”) which was used to assist in financing our DynaEnergetics manufacturing expansion project in Blum, Texas. At the end of year one, the Capex Facility converted to a term loan which is amortizable at 12.5% of principal per year with a balloon payment for the outstanding balance upon the credit facility maturity date in 2023. The Capex Facility bears interest at a LIBOR-based variable rate which at September 30, 2020 was 2.50%. In 2019, we prepaid an additional $7,000 above the required amortization amount. The credit facility has a $100,000 accordion feature to increase the commitments under the revolving loan class and/or by adding a term loan subject to approval by applicable lenders. We entered into the credit facility with a syndicate of three banks, with KeyBank, N.A. acting as administrative agent. 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 $50,000 revolving loan can be in the form of one, two, three, or six month LIBOR rate loans. Additionally, US dollar borrowings on the revolving loan can be in the form of Base Rate loans (Base Rate borrowings are based on the greater of the administrative agent’s Prime rates, an adjusted Federal Funds rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate). LIBOR loans bear interest at the applicable LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.50% to 3.00%). Base Rate loans bear interest at the defined Base rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.50% to 2.00%). All revolver loan borrowings and repayments have been in the form of one-month or two-month loans and are reported on a net basis in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Borrowings under the $20,000 alternate currency sublimit can be in euros, Canadian dollars, pounds sterling, and in any other currency acceptable to the administrative agent. Alternative currency borrowings denominated in euros, pounds sterling, and any other currency that is dealt with on the London Interbank Deposit Market shall be comprised of LIBOR loans and bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.50% to 3.00%).

On June 25, 2020, we entered into an amendment ("Amendment") to the credit facility. The Amendment waives the debt service coverage ratio covenant for the quarters ending September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2021. The debt service coverage ratio minimum of 1.35 to 1 was applicable for the quarter ending June 30, 2020 and will resume beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2021 and thereafter. The debt service coverage ratio is defined in the credit facility as the ratio of Consolidated Pro Forma EBITDA less the sum of capital distributions paid in cash, cash income taxes and Consolidated Unfunded Capital Expenditures (as defined in the credit facility) to Debt Service Charges (as defined in the credit facility).

Additionally, the Amendment added a Minimum Liquidity covenant requiring the total of cash and cash equivalents held by U.S. subsidiaries and available borrowing capacity under the credit facility to exceed $10,000 for the quarters ending September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2021. The Minimum Liquidity covenant is not required after the quarter ending March 31, 2021.

During the period from the Amendment through August 31, 2020, borrowings outstanding under the credit facility bore interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% or at a Base Rate (as defined in the credit facility) plus a margin of 0.75%. For the period from September 1, 2020 through the date of receipt of the covenant compliance certificate for the quarter ending March 31, 2021, borrowings outstanding under the credit facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% to 3.00% or at a Base Rate plus a margin of 0.75% to 2.00%. In each case, the margin is based on the Company's Leverage Ratio of
16

Table of Contents

Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the credit facility) on the last day of such period to Consolidated Pro Forma EBITDA for such period. Additionally, the Amendment sets the minimum LIBOR at 0.75%.

The credit facility, as amended, includes 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 ratios. As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.

On October 22, 2020, in connection with the commencement of our at-the-market offering, we entered into an amendment to the credit facility to waive the requirement that we repay outstanding balances under the credit facility from the proceeds of any equity offering. The waiver applies to at-the-market offerings up to $75 million.

We also maintain a line of credit with a German bank for certain European operations. In July 2020, the German Bank Facility was amended to increase the borrowing capacity from €4,000 to €7,000. Of the €7,000 borrowing capacity, €3,511 was available as of September 30, 2020 after considering outstanding letters of credit.

Included in long-term debt were deferred debt issuance costs of $539 and $603 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Deferred debt issuance costs are being amortized over the remaining term of the credit facility which expires on March 8, 2023.

8.     INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for each of the periods reported differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to variation in contribution to consolidated pre-tax income from each jurisdiction for the respective periods, differences between the U.S. and foreign tax rates (which range from 20% to 34%), permanent differences between book and taxable income, and changes to valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets.

We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use existing deferred tax assets. Additionally, a three-year cumulative loss at a Consolidated Financial Statement level may be viewed as negative evidence impacting a jurisdiction that by itself is not in a three-year cumulative loss position. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we did not record any adjustments to valuation allowances. At March 31, 2019, the Company was no longer in a three-year cumulative loss position in the U.S. and we believe sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use existing deferred tax assets in that jurisdiction. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, we released valuation allowances of $368 in that jurisdiction and certain states. The Company will continue to monitor the realizability of deferred tax assets and the need for valuation allowances and will record adjustments in the periods in which facts support such adjustments.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) provides that foreign earnings generally can be repatriated to the U.S. without federal tax consequence. We have reassessed the assertion that cumulative earnings by our foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested. We continue to permanently reinvest the earnings of our international subsidiaries and therefore we do not provide for U.S. income taxes or withholding taxes that could result from the distribution of those earnings to the U.S. parent. If any such earnings were ultimately distributed to the U.S. in the form of dividends or otherwise, or if the shares of our international subsidiaries were sold or transferred, we could be subject to additional U.S. federal and state income taxes. Due to the multiple avenues in which earnings can be repatriated, and because a large portion of these earnings are not liquid, it is not practical to estimate the amount of additional taxes that might be payable on these amounts of undistributed foreign income.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, our German operating entities commenced a tax audit for fiscal years 2015 through 2017. If any issues addressed in the audit are resolved in a manner not consistent with our expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income taxes in future periods.

9.      BUSINESS SEGMENTS
 
Our business is organized into two segments: DynaEnergetics and NobelClad. DynaEnergetics designs, manufactures and distributes products utilized by the global oil and gas industry principally for the perforation of oil and gas wells. NobelClad is a global leader in the production of explosion-welded clad metal plates for use in the construction of corrosion resistant industrial processing equipment and specialized transition joints.
Our reportable segments are separately managed strategic business units that offer different products and services. Each segment’s products are marketed to different customer types and require different manufacturing processes and technologies.

10.      DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily the U.S. dollar to euro, the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar, and, to a lesser extent, other currencies, arising from inter-company and third-party transactions entered into by our subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. Changes in exchange rates with respect to these transactions result in unrealized gains or losses if such transactions are unsettled at the end of the reporting period or realized gains or losses at settlement of the transaction. We use foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency denominated asset and liability positions. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges, and all changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are recognized in “Other (expense) income, net” within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We execute derivatives with a specialized foreign exchange brokerage firm. The primary credit risk inherent in derivative agreements is the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. We perform a review of the credit risk of our counterparties at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis. We anticipate that our counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements but will take action if doubt arises regarding the counterparties’ ability to perform.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the notional amounts of the forward currency contracts the Company held were $3,187 and $22,860, respectively. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair values of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts were $0.

11.   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.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Purchase Commitments

NobelClad entered into a contract in 2018 with a supplier to purchase roll bonded products for resale. The agreement includes minimum annual thresholds that run through December 31, 2022. If NobelClad were not to meet any of the obligations under the contract, the potential exposure would be $180 in 2020 and an aggregate of $1,220 for the final two years of the agreement ending December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2020, the contingent liability related to this agreement was not considered probable, and no accrual was recorded.

12.    RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

During the third quarter of 2020, DynaEnergetics sold its Tyumen, Siberia production facility to a third-party for $448, which was equal to the carrying value of the assets held for sale.

Table of Contents


During the second quarter of 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic-related collapse in oil and gas demand led to a downturn in well completions and the corresponding demand for DynaEnergetics’ products. As a result, DynaEnergetics recorded asset impairment charges of $1,181 on certain manufacturing assets that will no longer be utilized in production at its Blum, Texas and Troisdorf, Germany facilities. Additionally, both DynaEnergetics and NobelClad further reduced the respective workforces during the quarter.

During the first quarter of 2020, DMC reduced its workforce by 264 positions to address a sharp decline in well completions in the Company’s core oil and gas end market principally due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The workforce reduction impacted full-time, part-time and temporary direct-labor roles in manufacturing and assembly at DynaEnergetics as well as general and administrative positions at DynaEnergetics, NobelClad, and at DMC’s corporate office.

During the third quarter of 2019, DynaEnergetics completed a series of capacity expansion initiatives at its plants in North America and Germany. The new capacity improved DynaEnergetics’ operating efficiencies and enabled the business to more effectively serve its global customer base. Capitalizing on its more efficient manufacturing footprint, DynaEnergetics ceased its operations in Tyumen, Siberia in September 2019. In conjunction with shutting down operations, DynaEnergetics recorded a non-cash asset impairment charge of $4,620 within “Restructuring expenses, net and asset impairments”, which was calculated by comparing the estimated fair value less costs to sell to the carrying value of the assets. DynaEnergetics also recorded $1,260 in severance charges within “Restructuring expenses, net and asset impairments” and a non-cash inventory write down of $630 recorded within “Cost of products sold” associated with the decision to cease operations in Siberia.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, NobelClad announced plans to consolidate its European production facilities by closing manufacturing operations in France. During the second quarter of 2019, NobelClad sold its production facility and related assets and other machinery and equipment to third-parties for a gain of $519. Additionally, it moved certain machinery and equipment to its manufacturing facility in Germany. During the second quarter of 2019, NobelClad also recorded an additional accrual of $712 for known and probable severance liabilities related to employees terminated as part of closing the manufacturing operations in France. The additional severance accrual was recorded based, in part, on a successful appeal of the severance benefits by some terminated employees during the second quarter of 2019.

Total restructuring and impairment charges incurred for these programs are as follows and are reported in the “Restructuring expenses, net and asset impairments” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

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 is included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
 
Unless stated otherwise, all currency amounts are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars (000s).
 
Overview
 
General

DMC Global Inc. (“DMC”) operates two technical product and process business segments serving the energy, industrial and infrastructure markets. These segments, DynaEnergetics and NobelClad, operate globally through an international network of manufacturing, distribution and sales facilities.
 Our diversified segments each provide a suite of unique technical products to niche sectors of the global energy, industrial and infrastructure markets, and each has established a strong or leading position in the markets in which it participates. With an underlying focus on generating free cash flow, our objective is to sustain and grow the market share of our businesses through increased market penetration, development of new applications, and research and development of new and adjacent products that can be sold across our global network of sales and distribution facilities. We routinely explore acquisitions of related businesses that could strengthen or add to our existing product portfolios, or expand our geographic footprint and market presence. We also seek acquisition opportunities outside our current markets that would complement our existing businesses and enable us to build a stronger and more diverse company.
DynaEnergetics

DynaEnergetics designs, manufactures and distributes products utilized by the global oil and gas industry principally for the perforation of oil and gas wells. These products are sold to oilfield service companies in the U.S., Europe, Canada, 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, freight in, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

NobelClad

NobelClad is a global leader in the production of explosion-welded clad metal plates for use in the construction of corrosion resistant industrial processing equipment and specialized transition joints. While a significant portion of the demand for our clad metal products is driven by maintenance and retrofit projects at existing chemical processing, petrochemical processing, oil refining, and aluminum smelting facilities, new plant construction and large plant expansion projects 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. Most firm purchase orders and commitments are realized, and we expect to fill most backlog orders within the following 12 months. NobelClad’s backlog increased to $42,553 at September 30, 2020 from $31,660 at December 31, 2019.

Cost 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 in, outside processing costs, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

Factors Affecting Results

Consolidated sales of $55,281 increased 28% versus the second quarter of 2020 and declined 45% versus the third quarter of 2019. The sequential improvement primarily was related to increased well completion activity in North America and related demand for DynaEnergetics’ perforating systems. The decline versus last year primarily was attributable to lower crude oil prices and energy demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively impacted unconventional drilling and completion activity and sales at DynaEnergetics.
DynaEnergetics sales of $34,201 in the third quarter of 2020 increased 45% compared with the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to a modest recovery in sequential well completion activity in North America. The 56% decline in sales compared with the third quarter of 2019 primarily was attributable to lower crude oil prices and energy demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively impacted unconventional drilling and completion activity in North America.
NobelClad’s sales of $21,080 in the third quarter of 2020 increased 8% compared to the second quarter of 2020 and decreased 7% compared with the third quarter of 2019 due to the timing of shipment of projects out of backlog.
Consolidated gross profit of 25% in the third quarter of 2020 decreased from 36% in the third quarter of 2019. The decline occurred at DynaEnergetics where a 56% year-over-year sales decline caused under-absorption of fixed overhead and research and development expenses. Lower average selling prices at DynaEnergetics also contributed to the year-over-year decrease in gross profit percentage. Additionally, the third quarter of 2020 included a lower proportion of sales in DynaEnergetics relative to NobelClad compared with the prior year.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $11,616 in the third quarter of 2020 compared with $17,111 in the third quarter of 2019. The decrease primarily was due to lower outside service expenses, variable bonus, payroll and payroll-related costs, and travel expenses.
Restructuring expenses, net and asset impairments of $143 in the third quarter of 2020 primarily related to costs associated with the sale of the Tyumen, Siberia manufacturing facility.
Net cash of $12,612 increased $6,531 from $6,081 at December 31, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in working capital, which included a significant reduction in accounts receivables. Net cash is a non-GAAP measure calculated as total cash and cash equivalents ($24,604 at September 30, 2020) less total debt ($11,992 at September 30, 2020).

Outlook

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we took substantial steps worldwide to keep our employees safe. This included remote-working arrangements, redesigning our office and manufacturing layouts and workspaces, travel restrictions, adopting new processes for interactions with our suppliers and customers and making additional investments in employee safety equipment and processes. These efforts will continue as the pandemic continues and as we navigate the continually evolving regulatory environment at each of our locations.

In light of the unprecedented downturn in global economic activity and the pandemic-related impact on oil and gas demand, DMC implemented several cost-containment actions in the second quarter to reduce our activity-based cost structure, limit spending and protect our balance sheet. These actions included reducing our workforce by 32%, implementing reduced work weeks at DynaEnergetics, significantly cutting selling, general and administrative expenses, reducing our capital expenditures budget by 50% and suspending the quarterly dividend. The decline in crude oil prices and oil and gas demand accelerated early in the second quarter of 2020. To further preserve liquidity, we entered into an amendment to our credit facility on June 25, 2020 to, among other provisions, maintain our $50,000 revolving credit facility and waive the debt service coverage ratio for the quarters ending September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2021.

We have also taken action to allow future flexibility in accessing the capital markets. We filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which became effective on May 28, 2020, pursuant to which we registered up to $150 million of certain of our securities for potential sale from time to time and on terms that we may determine in the future. On October 22, 2020, we commenced an at-the-market equity program, which allows us to sell and issue up to $75 million in shares of our common stock from time to time. Although there is no certainty as to the amount or timing of any offering proceeds or whether we will obtain any such proceeds, the at-the-market equity program has the potential to further support our liquidity position.

At DynaEnergetics, we expect completions activity and demand in North America through the end of 2020 to not materially change from the third quarter. We have continued to invest in technology, product and market development initiatives to ensure we maintain our competitive advantages and future growth. During the second quarter of 2020, we introduced a series of products that are designed for new well-perforating applications and collectively increase its addressable market by more than 20%. The DS EchoTM perforating system positions DynaEnergetics in the emerging re-frac market, while DS MicroSetTM and DS LiberatorTM address plug setting and tool-string disengagement applications.

NobelClad’s order backlog at the end of the third quarter of 2020 remained flat with the second quarter. NobelClad’s customers in the downstream energy industry have delayed various repair and maintenance projects and one customer has delayed the award of a large prospective petrochemical order.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measure that we believe provides an important indicator of our ongoing operating performance and that we use in operational and financial decision-making. 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 tables below). As a result, internal management reports used during monthly operating reviews include Adjusted EBITDA and certain management incentive awards are based, in part, on the amount of Adjusted EBITDA achieved during the year.

Net cash and net debt are non-GAAP measures we use to supplement information in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We define net cash as total cash and cash equivalents less total debt and net debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. In addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses this information to evaluate its performance, and we believe that certain investors may do the same.

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. 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.

Net sales decreased $44,813 compared with 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic-related collapse in oil and gas demand led to a downturn in well completions and demand for DynaEnergetics’ products.

Gross profit percentage decreased to 24.6% compared with 2019 primarily due to the impact of lower volume on fixed manufacturing overhead expenses, and lower average selling prices. The second quarter of 2020 also included a lower proportion of sales in DynaEnergetics relative to NobelClad compared with the second quarter of 2019.

General and administrative expenses decreased $3,217 compared with 2019 primarily due to reductions in outside service costs by $2,329, employee salaries and wages and other payroll-related costs by $920, and travel expenses by $425. These decreases were offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $281.

Selling and distribution expenses decreased $2,278 compared with 2019 primarily due to reductions in salaries, benefits and variable bonus expenses by $479, outside service costs by $428, travel expenses by $389, and shipping and freight costs by $335 on decreased sales volumes.

Restructuring expenses, net and asset impairments of $143 in 2020 primarily related to costs associated with the completed sale of DynaEnergetics’ Tyumen, Siberia manufacturing facility.

Operating income decreased by $11,356 primarily due to lower earnings in DynaEnergetics in the third quarter of 2020.

Other (expense) income, net of $148 in 2020 primarily related to net unrealized and realized foreign currency exchange losses. Currency gains and losses can arise when subsidiaries enter into inter-company and third-party transactions that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency, including foreign currency forward contracts used to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated asset and liability positions.

Interest expense, net of $170 decreased compared with 2019 primarily due to a lower average outstanding debt balance in 2020.

Income tax provision of $139 was recorded on a pretax income of $1,147. The effective rate was impacted unfavorably by geographic mix of pretax income, state taxes, and certain compensation expenses that are not tax deductible in the U.S. The effective rate was also impacted favorably by discrete items of $247. We recorded an income tax provision of $5,689 on pretax income of $12,604 for the third quarter of 2019. The effective rate for the third quarter of 2019 was impacted unfavorably by restructuring expenses and asset impairments, related to the shutdown of production in Siberia, most of which is not tax deductible, and by favorable discrete items of $221.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $1,008, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6,915, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the same period in 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased compared with 2019 primarily due to the factors discussed above. See “Overview” above for the explanation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA. The following is a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA.

Net sales decreased $139,135 compared with 2019. The decline primarily related to sharply lower demand for well perforating systems at DynaEnergetics as the COVID-19 pandemic-related collapse in oil and gas demand led to a downturn in well completions in the U.S.

Gross profit percentage decreased to 26.0% compared with 2019 primarily due to the impact of lower sales volume on fixed manufacturing overhead expenses, including excess capacity charges, lower average selling prices, and an increase in reserves for excess inventories. The nine months of 2020 also included a lower proportion of sales in DynaEnergetics relative to NobelClad compared with the first nine months of 2019.

General and administrative expenses decreased $7,012 compared with 2019 primarily due to reductions in outside service costs by $3,499, wages, employee benefits expenses and payroll taxes by $2,316, variable bonus expenses by $1,479. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense by $361.

Selling and distribution expenses decreased $1,811 compared with 2019 primarily due to reductions in wages, employee benefits expenses and payroll taxes by $1,089, shipping and freight costs by $921 on decreased sales volumes, travel expenses by $697, outside service costs by $654, and variable bonus by $458. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the provision for expected credit losses of $2,985 during the first nine months of 2020.

Restructuring expenses, net and asset impairments of $3,305 in 2020 primarily related to downsizing our direct labor workforce at DynaEnergetics in response to declining crude oil prices and corresponding demand for well perforating systems at DynaEnergetics.

Operating loss of $178 primarily was due to lower earnings at DynaEnergetics in the first nine months of 2020.

Other (expense) income, net of $118 in 2020 primarily related to net unrealized and realized foreign currency exchange losses. Currency gains and losses can arise when subsidiaries enter into inter-company and third-party transactions that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency, including foreign currency forward contracts used to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated asset and liability positions.

Interest expense, net of $564 decreased compared with 2019 primarily due to a lower average outstanding debt balance in 2020.

Income tax benefit of $375 was recorded on pretax loss of $860. The effective rate was impacted unfavorably by geographic mix of pretax income, state taxes, and certain compensation expenses that are not tax deductible in the U.S. The effective rate was also impacted favorably by discrete items of $549. We recorded an income tax provision of $17,920 on pretax income of $57,249 for the same period of 2019. The effective rate for the first nine months of 2019 was impacted unfavorably by restructuring expenses and asset impairments, related to the shutdown of production in Siberia, most of which is not tax deductible and by favorable discrete items of $1,536.

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $485, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $39,329, or $2.64 per diluted share, for the same period in 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased compared with 2019 primarily due to the factors discussed above. See “Overview” above for the explanation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA. The following is a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA.

Net sales were $134,755 lower than in 2019 due to sharply lower demand for well perforating systems at DynaEnergetics as the COVID-19 pandemic-related collapse in oil and gas demand led to a downturn in well completions in the U.S.

Gross profit percentage decreased to 26.7% compared with 2019 primarily due to the unfavorable impact of lower sales volume on fixed manufacturing overhead expenses, including excess capacity charges in the second quarter, lower average selling prices, and an increase in reserves for excess inventories.

General and administrative expenses decreased $3,196 compared with 2019 primarily due to reductions in outside service costs by $2,134 and salaries and wages, variable bonus and other payroll-related costs by $1,447. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $276 in depreciation expense.

Selling and distribution expenses decreased $1,262 compared with 2019 primarily due to reductions in salaries and wages and other payroll-related costs by $1,225, freight expenses by $918 on reduced shipping activity, outside service costs by $528, and travel expenses by $358. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the provision for expected credit losses of $2,807 associated with specifically identified at-risk customer balances combined with an increase to our current expected credit loss reserve.

Restructuring expenses, net and asset impairments of $2,922 in 2020 primarily related to downsizing our direct labor workforce in response to declining crude oil prices and corresponding demand for well perforating systems. We also recorded asset impairments and incurred costs associated with the sale of the Tyumen, Siberia manufacturing facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We have historically financed our operations from a combination of internally generated cash flow, revolving credit borrowings, and various long-term debt arrangements. The COVID-19 pandemic drove a sharp decline in our core oil and gas end market and corresponding well-completion activity and demand for our perforating systems late in the first quarter of 2020. In April 2020, DMC announced several cost-containment actions to reduce our activity-based cost structure, limit spending and protect our balance sheet. These actions included reducing our workforce by 32%, implementing reduced work weeks at DynaEnergetics, significantly cutting selling, general and administrative expenses, reducing our capital expenditures budget by 50% and suspending the quarterly dividend. The decline in crude oil prices and oil and gas demand accelerated early in the second quarter of 2020 and prices partially recovered during the third quarter. Additionally, NobelClad’s order backlog at the end of the third quarter of 2020 remained flat with the second quarter. Customers in the downstream energy industry have delayed various repair and maintenance projects and one customer has delayed the award of a large prospective petrochemical order. To further preserve liquidity, we entered into an amendment to our credit facility on June 25, 2020 to, among other provisions, maintain our $50,000 revolving credit facility and to waive the debt service coverage ratio for the quarters ending September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2021. These measures enabled us to improve our net cash position from $2,920 at March 31, 2020 to $12,612 at September 30, 2020, maintain our fully undrawn and available $50,000 revolving credit facility, and provide covenant relief for three quarters.

We have also taken action to allow future flexibility in accessing the capital markets. We filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which became effective on May 28, 2020, pursuant to which we registered for sale up to $150 million of certain of our securities from time to time and on terms that we may determine in the future. On October 22, 2020, we commenced an at-the-market equity program under the shelf registration statement, which allows us to sell and issue up to $75 million in shares of our common stock from time to time. In connection with the commencement of the at-the-market equity program, we also amended our credit facility to waive the requirement to repay outstanding amounts under the credit facility with proceeds from the program. This will allow us full flexibility as to the use of proceeds from the program, if and when they are available over time. Our ability to access this capital may be limited by market conditions at the time of any future potential sale. There can be no assurance that any such capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

With due consideration of the COVID-19 global pandemic and the resulting severe disruption of our end markets, we believe that cash flow from operations, funds available under our current credit facilities and any future replacement thereof, and potential proceeds from our at-the-market offering, will be sufficient to fund the working capital, debt service, and other 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 profitable 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. We will continue to monitor the continuing unprecedented financial and market conditions, including the impacts COVID-19 will have on credit availability and capital markets.

Debt facilities
 
On March 8, 2018, we entered into a five-year $75,000 credit facility which replaced in its entirety our prior syndicated credit facility entered into on February 23, 2015. The credit facility allows for revolving loans of up to $50,000 with a $20,000 US dollar equivalent sublimit for alternative currency loans. In addition, the agreement provides for a $25,000 Capex Facility which was used to assist in financing our DynaEnergetics manufacturing expansion project in Blum, Texas. At the end of year

Table of Contents

one, the Capex Facility converted to a term loan which is amortizable at 12.5% of principal per year with a balloon payment for the outstanding balance upon the credit facility maturity date in 2023. In 2019, we prepaid an additional $7,000 above the required amortization amount. The facility has a $100,000 accordion feature to increase the commitments under the revolving loan class and/or to add a term loan subject to approval by applicable lenders. We entered into the credit facility with a syndicate of three banks, with KeyBank, N.A. acting as administrative agent. 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 $50,000 revolving loan can be in the form of one, two, three, or six month LIBOR loans. Additionally, US dollar borrowings on the revolving loan can be in the form of Base Rate loans (Base Rate borrowings are based on the greater of the administrative agent’s Prime rates, an adjusted Federal Funds rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate). LIBOR loans bear interest at the applicable LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.50% to 3.00%). Base Rate loans bear interest at the defined Base rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.50% to 2.00%). All revolver loan borrowing and repayments under the credit facility have been in the form of one-month or two-month loans and are reported on a net basis in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.    
Borrowings under the $20,000 Alternate Currency sublimit can be in euros, Canadian dollars, pounds sterling, and in any other currency acceptable to the administrative agent. Alternative currency borrowings denominated in euros, pounds sterling, and any other currency that is dealt with on the London Interbank Deposit Market shall be comprised of LIBOR loans and bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.50% to 3.00%).

On June 25, 2020, we entered into an amendment ("Amendment") to the credit facility. The Amendment waives the debt service coverage ratio covenant for the quarters ending September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2021. The debt service coverage ratio minimum of 1.35 to 1 was applicable for the quarter ending June 30, 2020 and will resume beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2021 and thereafter.

Additionally, the Amendment adds a Minimum Liquidity covenant requiring the total of cash and cash equivalents held by U.S. subsidiaries and available borrowing capacity under the credit facility to exceed $10,000 for the quarters ending September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2021. The Minimum Liquidity covenant is not required after the quarter ending March 31, 2021.

During the period from the Amendment through August 31, 2020, borrowings outstanding under the credit facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% or at a Base Rate (as defined in the credit facility) plus a margin of 0.75%. For the period from September 1, 2020 through the date of receipt of the covenant compliance certificate for the quarter ending March 31, 2021, borrowings outstanding under the credit facility will bear interest at a LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% to 3.00% or at a Base Rate plus a margin of 0.75% to 2.00%. In each case, the margin is based on the Company's Leverage Ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the credit facility) on the last day of such period to Consolidated Pro Forma EBITDA for such period. Additionally, the Amendment sets the minimum LIBOR at 0.75%.

As of September 30, 2020, U.S. dollar revolving loans of zero and borrowings of $12,531.25 under our Capex Facility were outstanding under our credit facility. Our available borrowing capacity was $50,000 as of September 30, 2020. Future borrowings are subject to compliance with financial covenants that could significantly limit such availability.
 
As of September 30, 2020, there were two significant financial covenants under our credit facility, a debt-to-EBITDA leverage ratio (“leverage ratio”) and a minimum liquidity ratio. The leverage ratio is defined in the credit facility for any trailing four quarter period as the ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the agreement) on the last day of such period to Consolidated Pro Forma EBITDA for such period. For the September 30, 2020 reporting period, the maximum leverage ratio permitted by our syndicated credit facility was 3.00 to 1.0. The actual leverage ratio as of September 30, 2020, calculated in accordance with the credit facility, as amended, was 0.4 to 1.0.

The Minimum Liquidity covenant requires the total of cash and cash equivalents held by U.S. subsidiaries and available borrowing capacity under the credit facility to exceed $10,000. The liquidity as of September 30, 2020, calculated in accordance with the credit facility, as amended, was $63,156.

Our credit facility, as amended, also includes various other 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, and pledging or disposition of major assets. As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.

We also maintain a line of credit with a German bank for certain European operations. In July 2020, the German Bank Facility was amended to increase the borrowing capacity from €4,000 to €7,000.

Other contractual obligations and commitments
 
Our long-term debt balance decreased to $8,867 at September 30, 2020 from $11,147 at December 31, 2019. NobelClad entered into a contract in 2018 with a supplier to purchase roll bonded products for resale. The agreement includes minimum annual thresholds that run through December 31, 2022. If NobelClad were not to meet any of the obligations under the contract, the potential exposure would be $180 in 2020 and an aggregate of $1,220 for the final two years of the agreement ending December 31, 2022. Our other contractual obligations and commitments have not materially changed since December 31, 2019.

Cash flows provided by operating activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $21,354 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with $35,096 in the same period last year. The decrease primarily was due to a decline in net income, which partially was offset by a significant reduction in net working capital and nonrecurrence of anti-dumping duties and penalties in 2020. The net working capital change in 2020 included lower accounts receivable from a decline in sales and lower accounts payable resulting from reduced purchasing activity.

Cash flows used in investing activities
 
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $9,662 primarily related to acquisitions of property, plant and equipment at DynaEnergetics. Net cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $21,119 and primarily related to the acquisitions of property, plant and equipment for the construction of DynaEnergetics’ manufacturing, assembly and administrative space on its site in Blum, Texas and expenditures related to the relocation of DMC Global’s corporate office and NobelClad’s U.S. administrative offices. Net cash flows used in investing activities were partially offset by proceeds from the sale of NobelClad’s production facility in France during the second quarter of 2019.

Cash flows used in financing activities
 
Net cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $7,038 primarily related to payment of dividends and repayments on the capital expenditure facility. Net cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $14,960 primarily related to repayments on revolving loans and repayments on the capital expenditure facility.
 
Payment of Dividends
 
We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share in the first quarter of 2020 and also paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.02 per share in the first and second quarters of 2019 and $0.125 per share in the third quarter of 2019.
 
On April 23, 2020, DMC announced that its Board of Directors suspended the quarterly dividend indefinitely due to the uncertain economic outlook caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Future dividends may be affected by, among other items, our views on potential future capital requirements, future business prospects, debt covenant compliance considerations, changes in income tax laws, and any other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant. Any determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
There have been no significant changes in the risk factors identified as being attendant to our business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as provided below.

Our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and stock price have been and may continue to be adversely affected by the recent outbreak of COVID-19.

Our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and stock price have been and may continue to be adversely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. The outbreak has resulted in governments around the world implementing stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, "shelter in place" and "stay at home" orders, travel restrictions, business curtailments, school closures, and other measures. These measures may be lifted, altered or re-imposed at any time, which requires our businesses and their customers and suppliers to continuously monitor and adjust to changing regulations and circumstances. In addition, governments and central banks in several parts of the world have enacted fiscal and monetary stimulus measures to counteract the impacts of COVID-19.

We are considered a critical infrastructure industry, as defined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Although we have continued to operate our facilities to date consistent with federal guidelines and state and local orders, the outbreak of COVID-19 and preventive or protective actions taken by governmental authorities have had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our workforce and operations, supply chain, customers and transportation networks. The impacts of COVID-19 have reduced demand for oil and gas, which has exerted downward pressure on oil and gas prices. Prices will likely also continue to be affected by actions by OPEC members and other oil exporting nations, the effect of U.S. energy, monetary and trade policies, U.S. and global economic conditions, U.S. and global political and economic developments, including the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, and resulting energy and environmental policies, and the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and conditions in the U.S. oil and gas industry, all of which are beyond our control. These factors significantly impact the demand for our products, product pricing and our ability to collect receivables from our customers, and have had, and may continue to have, a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may experience materially adverse impacts to our business due to any resulting economic recession or depression. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 have caused extreme volatility in financial and other capital markets which has and may continue to adversely impact our stock price and our ability to access capital markets. The COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on our customers, suppliers, and employees may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
 
Our Coolspring property is subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). Pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (The “Dodd-Frank Act”), issuers that are operators, or that have a subsidiary that is an operator, of a coal or other mine in the United States are required to disclose in their periodic reports filed with the SEC information regarding specified health and safety violations, orders and citations, related assessments and legal actions, and mining-related fatalities. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we had no such specified health and safety violations, orders or citations, related assessments or legal actions, mining-related fatalities, or similar events in relation to our United States operations requiring disclosure pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act.
