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 expectations regarding North American well completion activity in the fourth quarter of 2023, anticipated profit margin improvements resulting from changes in manufacturing processes and the introduction of new products in DynaEnergetics, our expectations regarding the decrease in patent litigation expenses in DynaEnergetics during the remainder of 2023, the expected improved performance in Arcadia during the remainder of 2023, the expected benefits of the completion of phase one of the new enterprise resource planning system at Arcadia, projected increases in demand at NobelClad, our backlog at NobelClad, our ability to access capital markets transactions in the future, the availability of funds 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, 2022 and such things as the following: geopolitical and economic instability, including recessions or depressions; inflation; supply chain delays and disruptions; the availability and cost of energy; transportation disruptions; 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, aluminum, and other raw materials; 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 Arcadia; 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 or access the capital markets; global economic conditions; and wars, terrorism and armed conflicts. 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.

(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. Certain information and footnote disclosures, including critical and significant accounting policies normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted for this quarterly presentation. 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, 2022.

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 intercompany accounts, profits, and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounts Receivable

The Company measures expected credit losses for its accounts receivable using a current expected credit loss model, which is based on historical experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. 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. To measure expected credit losses, we have elected to pool trade receivables by business segment and analyze each segment’s accounts receivable balances as separate populations. Within each segment, receivables exhibit similar risk characteristics.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, our expected loss rate reflects uncertainties in market conditions present in our businesses, including supply chain disruptions, rising interest rates, as well as global geopolitical and economic instability. In addition, we reviewed 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 against the amounts due, reducing the net receivable recognized to the amount we estimate will be collected. The offsetting expense for allowances recorded is charged to “Selling and distribution expenses” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, net provisions of $317 and $141, respectively, were recorded.

The following table summarizes year-to-date activity in the allowance for credit losses on receivables from customers in each of our business segments:

Redeemable noncontrolling interest

On December 23, 2021, DMC completed the acquisition of 60% of the membership interests in Arcadia Products, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company resulting from the conversion of Arcadia, Inc. (collectively, “Arcadia”). The limited liability company operating agreement for Arcadia (the “Operating Agreement”) contains a right for the Company to purchase the remaining interest in Arcadia from the minority interest holder on or after the third anniversary of the acquisition closing date (“Call Option”). Similarly, the minority interest holder of Arcadia has the right to sell its remaining interest in Arcadia to the Company on or after the third anniversary of the acquisition closing date (“Put Option”). Both the Call Option and Put Option enable the respective holder to exercise their rights based upon a predefined calculation as included within the Operating Agreement.

The Company initially accounted for the noncontrolling interest at its acquisition date fair value. We determined that neither the Call Option nor the Put Option meet the definition of a derivative as the Operating Agreement does not allow for contractual net settlement, the options cannot be settled outside the Operating Agreement through a market mechanism, and the underlying shares are deemed illiquid as they are not publicly traded and thus not considered readily convertible to cash. Additionally, the settlement price for both options is based upon a predefined calculation tied to adjusted earnings rather than a fixed price, and the formula is based upon a multiple of Arcadia’s average adjusted earnings over a three-year period. As such, we have concluded that the Call Option and Put Option are embedded within the noncontrolling interest and therefore do not represent freestanding instruments.

Given that the noncontrolling interest is subject to possible redemption with redemption rights that are not entirely within the control of the Company, we have concluded that the noncontrolling interest should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480"). The noncontrolling interest is also probable of redemption, as the only criteria for the security to become redeemable is the passage of time. As such, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified in temporary equity, separate from the stockholders’ equity section, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At each balance sheet date subsequent to acquisition, two separate calculations must be performed to determine the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. First, the redeemable noncontrolling interest must be accounted for in accordance with ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”) whereby income (loss) and cash distributions attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder are ascribed. After this occurs, applicable provisions of ASC 480 must be considered to determine whether any further adjustment is necessary to increase the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. An adjustment would only be necessary if the estimated settlement amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, per the terms of the Operating Agreement, exceeds the carrying value calculated in accordance with ASC 810. If such adjustment is required, the impact is immediately recorded to retained earnings and therefore does not impact the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is $187,522.

Promissory Note

In order to equalize after-tax consideration to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder relative to an alternative transaction structure, immediately following the closing of the acquisition, the Company loaned $24,902 to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder. The loan was evidenced by an unsecured promissory note, and the loan will be repaid out of proceeds from the sale of the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder’s interests in Arcadia, whether received upon exercise of the Put Option, the Call Option or upon sales to third parties permitted under the terms of the Operating Agreement. The loan must be repaid in full at the earlier of the exercise of the Put or Call Option, or by December 16, 2051, and has been recorded within “Other assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from consideration paid by customers for tangible goods. The Company analyzes its different products by business 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.

Table of Contents

Our rights to payments for goods transferred to customers within our DynaEnergetics and NobelClad business segments arise when control is transferred at a point in time and not on any other criteria. Our rights to payments for goods transferred to customers within our Arcadia business segment also generally arise when control is transferred at a point in time; however, at times, control of certain customized, project-based products passes to the customer over time. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days across all of our segments. 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. Refer to Note 9 "Business Segments" for disaggregated revenue disclosures.

See additional revenue recognition policy disclosures specific to each of our business segments within our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

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 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, that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation. The tax benefits recognized in the Condensed 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

In periods with net income, 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 of net income as they receive non-forfeitable rights to dividends as common stock. Restricted stock awards do not participate in net losses.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s stockholders after adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) available to common shareholders of the Company includes any adjustment to the redeemable noncontrolling interest value as of the end of the period presented. Refer to the "Redeemable noncontrolling interest" section above for further discussion of the calculation of the adjustment of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. Diluted EPS adjusts basic EPS for the effects of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, 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. For the applicable periods presented, diluted EPS using the two-class method was more dilutive than the treasury stock method; as such, only the two-class method has been included below.

Deferred Compensation Plan

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, such contributions 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 restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), vested company stock awards, company-owned life insurance (“COLI”) on certain current and former employees, and money market and mutual funds. Unvested RSAs and common stock held by the trust are reflected in the Condensed 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.

Deferred compensation obligations that will be settled in cash are accounted for on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the Plan. These obligations are adjusted based on changes in value of the underlying investment options chosen by Plan participants. Deferred compensation obligations that will be settled by delivery of a fixed number of previously vested shares of the Company’s common stock are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest 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.

Table of Contents

The balances related to the deferred compensation plan were as follows for the periods presented. The amount included within “Prepaid expenses and other” and “Other current liabilities” pertains to scheduled distributions per the terms of the Plan to our former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) that will occur within twelve months of September 30, 2023. Refer to Note 12 for additional information regarding the CEO transition.

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 cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value. Our marketable securities are valued using quoted prices in active markets that are accessible as of the measurement date. The carrying value of our revolving loans and term loan under our credit facility, when outstanding, approximate their fair value because of the variable interest rate associated with those instruments, which reset each month at market interest rates. All of these account balances are considered Level 1 assets and liabilities.

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 instruments as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Money market funds and mutual funds of $3,175 as of September 30, 2023 and $8,444 as of December 31, 2022 held to satisfy future deferred compensation obligations are valued based upon the market values of underlying securities and are classified as Level 2 assets in the fair value hierarchy.

We did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, and we do not expect any to have a material effect on the Company’s Condensed 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 write down 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.

The change in the gross value of our unamortized purchased intangible assets at September 30, 2023 from December 31, 2022 was due to foreign currency translation.

5. CONTRACT LIABILITIES

At times, we require customers to make advance payments prior to the shipment of their orders to help finance our inventory investment on large orders or keep customers’ credit limits at acceptable levels. Contract liabilities were as follows for the periods presented:


	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Arcadia	$	16,564	$	27,634
NobelClad	10,003		3,661
DynaEnergetics	1,990		785
Total contract liabilities	$	28,557	$	32,080

Table of Contents

We generally expect to recognize the revenue associated with contract liabilities over a time period no longer than one year, but unforeseen circumstances can cause delays in shipments associated with contract liabilities, primarily supply chain delays and disruptions.

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”) assets are initially measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term plus initial direct costs, if any. If a lease does not provide a discount rate and the implicit rate cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the present value of future lease payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Lease and non-lease components within the Company’s lease agreements are accounted for together. Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The Company has no leases in which the Company is the lessor.

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, 2023		December 31, 2022
ROU asset	$	44,661	$	48,470

Current lease liability	7,290		7,041
Long-term lease liability	39,288		43,001
Total lease liability	$	46,578	$	50,042

The ROU asset is reported in “Other assets” while the current lease liability is reported in “Other current liabilities” and the long-term lease liability is reported in “Other long-term liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash paid for operating lease liabilities is recorded as operating cash outflows in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Arcadia leases certain office, manufacturing, distribution and warehouse facilities from entities affiliated with the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder and former president of Arcadia. There were eight related party leases in effect as of September 30, 2023, with expiration dates ranging from calendar years 2023 to 2026, excluding any renewal options. As of September 30, 2023, the total ROU asset and related lease liability recognized for related party leases was $26,291 and $27,062, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, operating lease expense was $3,349 and $2,872, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, operating lease expense was $9,504 and $8,413, respectively. Related party lease expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1,156 and $3,469, respectively, in each period and is included in total operating lease expense. Short term and variable lease costs were not significant for any period presented.

Less: current portion of long-term debt	(15,000)		(15,000)
Long-term debt	$	104,460	$	117,798

Syndicated Credit Agreement

On December 23, 2021, we entered into a five-year $200,000 syndicated credit agreement (“credit facility”) which included a $150,000 Term Loan, which is amortizable at 10% of principal per year with a balloon payment for the outstanding balance upon the credit facility maturity date in 2026, and allows for revolving loans of up to $50,000. The credit facility has an accordion feature to increase the commitments by $100,000 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 four banks, with KeyBank, N.A. acting as administrative agent. The credit facility is secured by certain assets of DMC including accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets, including Arcadia and its subsidiary, as well as guarantees and share pledges by DMC and its subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the $150,000 Term Loan and $50,000 revolving loan limit can be in the form of Adjusted Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") loans or one month Adjusted Term SOFR loans. Additionally, U.S. 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 rate, an adjusted Federal Funds rate or an adjusted SOFR rate). SOFR loans bear interest at the applicable SOFR 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%). As of September 30, 2023, no amounts were outstanding on the revolver.

The credit facility includes various covenants and restrictions, certain of which relate to the payment of dividends or other distributions to stockholders; redemption of capital stock; incurring additional indebtedness; mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets; and maintenance of specified ratios.

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 (other than those made with respect to preferred stock issued under the Operating Agreement), Consolidated Unfunded Capital Expenditures (as defined in the credit facility), and net cash income taxes divided by the sum of cash interest expense, any dividends on the preferred stock paid in cash, and scheduled principal payments on funded indebtedness. Under our credit facility, the minimum debt service coverage ratio permitted is 1.35 to 1.0.

As of September 30, 2023, 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 with a borrowing capacity of €7,000 for certain European operations. This line of credit is also used to issue bank guarantees to customers to secure advance payments made by them. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under this line of credit and bank guarantees of €2,491 and €2,221, respectively, were secured by the line of credit. The line of credit has open-ended terms and can be canceled by the bank at any time.

Table of Contents

Included in “Long-term debt” are deferred debt issuance costs of $1,790 and $2,202 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Deferred debt issuance costs are being amortized over the remaining term of the credit facility, which expires on December 23, 2026.

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 33%), permanent differences between book and taxable income, and income or loss attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder.

Arcadia is treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes. With the exception of certain state taxes, income or loss flows through to the shareholders and is taxed at the shareholder level. Tax impacts related to income or loss from Arcadia that are included in consolidated pretax results but are attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder are not included in the consolidated income tax provision.

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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we did not record any adjustments to previously established valuation allowances, except for corresponding adjustments related to changes in deferred tax asset balances. These adjustments had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 changes.

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 assessed 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.

9. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Our business is organized into three segments: Arcadia, DynaEnergetics and NobelClad. In December 2021, DMC acquired a 60% controlling interest in Arcadia. Arcadia supplies architectural building products, including exterior and interior framing systems, curtain walls, windows, doors, and interior partitions to the commercial construction market; it also supplies customized windows and doors to the high-end residential construction market. DynaEnergetics designs, manufactures and distributes highly engineered products utilized by the global oil and gas industry principally for the perforation of oil and gas wells. NobelClad is a leader in the production of explosion-welded clad metal plates for use in the construction of corrosion resistant industrial processing equipment, as well as specialized transition joints for use in construction of commuter rail cars, ships, and liquified natural gas (LNG) processing equipment.

Our reportable segments are separately managed, strategic business units that offer different products and services, and each segment has separate financial information available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in allocating resources and assessing performance. 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 the euro, the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar and, to a lesser extent, other currencies, arising from intercompany 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 income (expense), net” within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We execute derivatives with a specialized foreign exchange brokerage firm as well as other large financial institutions. 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the net notional amounts of the forward contracts the Company held were $32,333 and $21,907, respectively. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of outstanding forward contracts was $0.

The following table reflects the location and amount of net gains (losses) from hedging activities for the periods presented. These hedging net gains (losses) offset foreign currency gains and losses recorded in the normal course of business, which are not shown below.

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 except as set forth below:

Wage and Hour Matters

Felipe v. Arcadia, Inc. and One Stop Employment Services, Inc. (“One Stop”). This complaint was filed on October 22, 2021 in Los Angeles Superior Court and purports to allege a class action on behalf of all non-exempt California employees who worked on behalf of One Stop or Arcadia at any time during the four years preceding the date of the complaint. One Stop is a staffing agency which provides temporary workers, including to Arcadia. The complaint states claims under California’s labor laws and under its general Unfair Business Practices Act, California Business & Professions Code section 17200. The plaintiff has subsequently dismissed the class action claims without prejudice, acknowledging that Arcadia’s arbitration agreement likely bars such class claims. The plaintiff also filed a separate action under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) alleging essentially the same wage and hour violations. This action included other Arcadia employees. The California Supreme Court has recently ruled that the representative PAGA claims are not barred by the arbitration agreement. The plaintiff has commenced arbitration on individual claims, with arbitration set for 2024. In the meantime, the PAGA representative claims are

Table of Contents

stayed and likely will remain stayed pending resolution of the individual arbitration claims or completion of the settlement in principle described below.

Mayorga v. Arcadia, Inc. This complaint was filed on November 15, 2021 in Los Angeles Superior Court. It purported to allege a class action on behalf of all of the Company’s non-exempt California employees who worked at the Company within four years before the date the complaint was filed. It asserts claims substantially similar to those asserted in the Felipe case but does not include One Stop as a defendant. The plaintiff amended his complaint to delete class action claims and any individual non-PAGA claims. Accordingly, plaintiff’s complaint is now limited to PAGA collective action claims. The plaintiff has however commenced arbitration on a solely individual basis of his wage and hour claims, and an arbitrator has been appointed to adjudicate those claims. The remaining Mayorga PAGA representative claims have now been assigned to the same judge as the Felipe case. As in Felipe, those PAGA representative claims are currently stayed and will likely remain stayed until completion of the settlement in principle or of the individual arbitration if the settlement in principle is not consummated.

We have mediated the Mayorga claims, and as a result have reached a settlement in principle. Arcadia has agreed to pay $375 of a total $600 settlement amount to resolve its portion of all PAGA claims in both the Mayorga and Felipe actions. As currently proposed, the parties have agreed in principle that the settlement will include the individual claims of the plaintiff in Felipe. The settlement will become final only if the parties reach agreement on a final written document containing all settlement terms, and only if such settlement is approved by the court. There is no guarantee either condition will occur.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Arcadia reserved $375 which represents its current estimate of loss to resolve all PAGA claims. Under the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company is indemnified for the liability recognized to date related to these matters. Therefore, an offsetting receivable was also recognized such that there was no impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

With respect to Felipe’s remaining individual claims and to the extent not resolved through the settlement in principle, Arcadia intends to vigorously defend against the Felipe and Mayorga actions. Due to the nature of these matters and inherent uncertainties, it is not possible to provide an evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or an estimate of the amount or range of potential loss, if any, in this circumstance.

12. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER TRANSITION

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company and its former CEO entered into a separation agreement pursuant to which the former CEO received certain severance benefits consistent with his pre-existing employment agreement with the Company. These severance benefits include 18 months of salary, a lump sum cash payment, and accelerated vesting of outstanding equity awards. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $1,621 of severance related expense and $3,040 of stock-based compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting of outstanding equity awards. These expenses were recognized in “General and administrative expenses” in the 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 that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Unless stated otherwise, all dollar figures are presented in thousands (000s).

Overview

General

DMC Global Inc. (“DMC”, "we", "us", "our", or the "Company") owns and operates Arcadia, DynaEnergetics and NobelClad, three innovative, asset-light manufacturing businesses that provide differentiated products and engineered solutions to niche segments of the construction, energy, industrial processing and transportation markets. Each of our businesses provides a unique suite of highly engineered products and differentiated solutions, and each has established a leadership position in its respective markets. Our businesses seek to capitalize on their product and service differentiation to grow market share, expand profit margins, increase cash flow and enhance shareholder value.

Our businesses follow clear and compelling strategies and are led by excellent leadership teams that we support with business resources and capital. We take a focused approach to capital allocation and work with our business leaders to identify investments that will advance their operating strategies and generate attractive returns. Our approach helps our portfolio companies grow their core businesses, launch new initiatives, upgrade technologies and systems, expand their markets and improve their competitive positions. Our culture is to foster local innovation versus centralized control. Headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado, DMC trades on Nasdaq under the symbol “BOOM.”

Arcadia

On December 23, 2021, DMC completed the acquisition of 60% of the membership interests in Arcadia Products, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company resulting from the conversion of Arcadia, Inc. (collectively, “Arcadia”). Arcadia supplies architectural building products, including exterior and interior framing systems, curtain walls, windows, doors, and interior partitions to the commercial construction market. Additionally, Arcadia also supplies customized windows and doors to the high-end residential construction market.

Cost of products sold for Arcadia includes the cost of aluminum, paint, and other raw materials used in manufacturing as well as employee compensation and benefits, manufacturing facility lease expense, depreciation of manufacturing equipment, supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

DynaEnergetics

DynaEnergetics designs, manufactures and distributes highly engineered products utilized by the global oil and gas industry principally for the perforation of oil and gas wells. These products are primarily sold to oilfield service companies in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The market for perforating products, which are used during the well completion process, generally corresponds with oil and gas exploration and production activity. Well completion operations are increasingly complex, which in turn has increased the demand for intrinsically-safe, reliable and technically advanced perforating systems.

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, supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

NobelClad

NobelClad produces explosion-welded clad metal plates for use in the construction of corrosion resistant industrial processing equipment and specialized transition joints for commuter rail cars, ships, and liquified natural gas (LNG) processing equipment. While most demand for our products is driven by maintenance and retrofit projects at existing plants and facilities, new projects for 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, defined as all unfilled firm purchase orders and commitments at that time, to measure the immediate outlook for our NobelClad business. Most firm purchase orders and commitments are realized and shipped within twelve months. NobelClad's backlog increased to $60,821 at September 30, 2023 from $55,451 at December 31, 2022.

Cost of products sold for NobelClad includes the cost of metals, explosive powders and other raw materials used to manufacture clad metal plates and transition joints as well as employee compensation and benefits, outside processing costs, depreciation of manufacturing equipment, manufacturing facility lease expense, supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

Factors Affecting Results

•Consolidated sales were $172,147 in the third quarter of 2023 versus $174,465 in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of 1%. The decline in sales performance was driven by lower sales at Arcadia.

•Arcadia reported sales of $71,455 in the third quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 11% compared with the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was largely attributable to lower customer pricing in response to reductions in base aluminum metal prices, and lower sales volumes driven by softer demand for commercial interior products and brief operational challenges from the implementation of a new ERP system.

•DynaEnergetics’ sales of $72,998 in the third quarter of 2023 increased 4% compared with the third quarter of 2022 due to an increase in unit sales of DS perforating systems. International sales increased 13% while North American sales increased 2%. North American sales growth was impacted by a decline in active drilling rigs and fracking crews which resulted in lower well completion activity.

•NobelClad’s sales of $27,694 in the third quarter of 2023 increased 18% compared with the third quarter of 2022 reflecting healthy activity in core energy and petrochemical end markets.

•Consolidated gross profit was 30.6% in the third quarter of 2023 versus 29.4% in the third quarter of 2022. While gross profit dollars were comparable to the prior year, the percentage improvement was attributable to margin recovery at Arcadia as decreases in base aluminum metal prices exceeded declines in customer pricing. Favorable project and regional mix, as well as better absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead expenses at NobelClad, also contributed to the percentage improvement.

•Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $28,713 in the third quarter of 2023 compared with $30,544 in the third quarter of 2022.

•Cash and marketable securities of $35,576 at September 30, 2023 increased $10,432 from cash of $25,144 at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to cash generated from operations.

•The Company’s leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with its credit facility, was 1.26 to 1.0 as of September 30, 2023 in comparison to the maximum ratio permitted of 3.0 to 1.0. The Company’s adjusted leverage ratio, calculated using net debt as of September 30, 2023, was 0.89 to 1.0.

Outlook

Arcadia serves the commercial building products market primarily in the western and southwestern United States, and the high-end residential market across the United States. Phase one of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system went live in July 2023, and is expected to enhance operating efficiencies and the internal control environment throughout Arcadia. While the ERP changeover led to a brief operational slowdown early in the quarter, Arcadia’s performance improved as the third quarter progressed. The business expects to build upon these improvements in the fourth quarter, and is benefiting from steady demand in its diverse commercial exterior and high-end residential markets. The business expects that these improvements will be partially offset by seasonality and annual facility maintenance.

In North America, third quarter well completion activity declined by approximately 10% versus the second quarter, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. This decline, coupled with customer project delays experienced late in the quarter, negatively impacted demand at DynaEnergetics. We believe North American well completion activity will remain soft during the fourth quarter of 2023 based on a decline in the number of active drilling rigs and fracking crews. DynaEnergetics is in the process of implementing more efficient manufacturing processes and is introducing several premium products in 2023 that collectively are expected to improve long-term profit margins. In recent years and in the first quarter of 2023, patent litigation expenses have increased our general and administrative expenses; however, these costs were substantially lower in the second and third quarters of 2023 and are expected to remain lower for the balance of the year.

NobelClad is experiencing increasing demand for its Cylindra™ cryogenic transition joints used in the LNG industry, while repair and maintenance work from downstream energy and petrochemical industries is also contributing to improved financial performance. NobelClad’s backlog was $60,821 as of September 30, 2023, up from $55,451 as of December 31, 2022. We expect to ship most orders in our backlog within 12 months.

In January 2023, the Company announced the appointment of Michael Kuta and David Aldous as interim co-President and Chief Executive Officers. In addition, DMC named Eric Walter as its new Chief Financial Officer, and Arcadia named James Chilcoff as its new President. On August 4, 2023, the Company appointed Michael Kuta as President and Chief Executive Officer and a director. David Aldous remains a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and was re-appointed as Chairman effective August 4, 2023. In connection with these leadership changes, near-term priorities include the acceleration of Arcadia’s integration, strengthening the profitability of DynaEnergetics, achieving commercial success with new products introduced by NobelClad, and improving the Company’s overall cash flow through more effective working capital management and targeted cost reductions.

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 (loss) plus net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance (as further described in the tables below). Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC Global Inc. stockholders excludes the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the 40% redeemable noncontrolling interest in Arcadia. For our business segments, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation, amortization, allocated stock-based compensation (if applicable), restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing 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.

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) attributable to DMC Global Inc. stockholders plus restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as diluted earnings per share attributable to DMC Global Inc. stockholders (exclusive of adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest) plus restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance.

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings per share are presented because management believes these measures are useful to understand the effects of restructuring, impairment, and other nonrecurring charges on DMC’s net income (loss) and diluted earnings per share, respectively.

Net debt is a non-GAAP measure we use to supplement information in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We define net debt as total debt less total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. 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 suggest that such measures be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or as superior to, DMC’s GAAP information, and investors are cautioned that the non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness. Given that not all companies use identical calculations, DMC’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Net sales were $172,147 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, or a decrease of 1% compared with the same period in 2022, primarily due to lower sales at Arcadia.

Gross profit percentage was 30.6% versus 29.4% in the same period in 2022. The improvement compared to prior year was attributable to margin recovery at Arcadia as reductions in base aluminum metal prices exceeded declines in customer pricing. Favorable project and regional mix, as well as better absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead expenses at NobelClad also contributed to the improved performance.

General and administrative expenses decreased $3,537 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the same period in 2022. The lower expense was driven by decreases in patent infringement litigation costs at DynaEnergetics of $1,305, business segment compensation costs of $1,014, ERP system implementation costs at NobelClad of $447, stock-based compensation expense of $374, and depreciation expense of $135.

Selling and distribution expenses increased $1,706 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the same period in 2022. The higher expense was primarily due to increases in compensation costs of $1,011, bad debt expense of $354, and freight and supplies costs of $228.

Amortization of purchased intangible assets decreased $1,718 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 as the Arcadia customer backlog purchased intangible asset was fully amortized in 2022.

Operating income was $17,702 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $13,401 in the same period in 2022. The increase in operating income was the result of improved financial performance at Arcadia and NobelClad.

Table of Contents

Other income, net of $302 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily related to net unrealized foreign currency exchange gains. 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 $2,392 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased 35% compared with the same period in 2022 due to an increase in floating interest rates related to the Term Loan.

Income tax provision of $4,087 was recorded on income before income taxes of $15,612 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our most significant operations are in the United States, which has a 21% statutory income tax rate, and Germany, which has a 32% combined statutory income tax rate. The mix of income or loss before income taxes between these jurisdictions is one of the primary drivers of the difference between our 21% statutory tax rate and our effective tax rate. The current quarter effective rate was impacted unfavorably by the geographic mix of pretax income and state taxes. The operating results of Arcadia that are attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder are not taxed at DMC, which resulted in a partially offsetting favorable impact to the effective tax rate. We recorded an income tax provision of $3,537 on income before income taxes of $11,750 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The prior year rate was impacted by the same factors previously discussed.

Net income attributable to DMC Global Inc. for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $8,883, compared to $6,717 for the same period in 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased compared with the same period in 2022 primarily due to the improved performance at NobelClad.

Net sales were $545,152 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 14% compared with the same period in 2022, primarily due to an increase in unit sales of DynaEnergetics’ DS perforating systems, higher customer pricing at Arcadia in response to raw material and labor inflation, as well as improved performance at NobelClad attributable to increased activity in core energy and petrochemical end markets.

Gross profit percentage was 30.6% versus 29.3% in 2022. The improvement compared to the prior year was attributable to the impact of higher sales volume on fixed manufacturing overhead expenses, primarily due to increases in unit sales of DS perforating systems at DynaEnergetics. Favorable project mix at NobelClad and margin recovery at Arcadia also contributed to the improved performance.

General and administrative expenses increased $3,955 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the same period in 2022. The increase was driven by $4,343 of CEO transition charges, which was partially offset by lower business related travel of $472.

Selling and distribution expenses increased $5,595 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the same period in 2022. The higher expense was primarily due to increases in compensation costs of $3,738, marketing and other outside services costs of $1,204, and freight and supplies costs of $506.

Amortization of purchased intangible assets decreased $16,153 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 as the Arcadia customer backlog purchased intangible asset was fully amortized in 2022.

Operating income was $51,919 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $19,423 in the same period last year. The increase in operating income was the result of improved financial performance at all business segments.

Other expense, net of $337 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily related to net 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 $7,205 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 78% compared with the same period in 2022 due to an increase in floating interest rates related to the Term Loan.

Income tax provision of $13,187 was recorded on income before income taxes of $44,377 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our most significant operations are in the United States, which has a 21% statutory income tax rate, and Germany, which has a 32% statutory income tax rate. The mix of income or loss before income taxes between these jurisdictions is one of the primary drivers of the difference between our 21% statutory tax rate and our effective tax rate. The current year effective rate was impacted unfavorably by the geographic mix of pretax income, state taxes, and certain compensation expenses that are not tax deductible in the U.S. In addition, the effective rate was impacted unfavorably by discrete stock-based compensation impacts of $1,401. The operating results of Arcadia that are attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder are not taxed at DMC, which resulted in a favorable impact to the effective tax rate. We recorded an income tax provision of $4,938 on income before income taxes of $15,330 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The prior year effective rate was impacted unfavorably by discrete stock-based compensation impacts of $454. The rate was also impacted by the same factors previously discussed.

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. Our net debt position was $83,884 at September 30, 2023 compared to $107,654 at December 31, 2022. The decrease in net debt through the first nine months of 2023 was due primarily to $13,750 in Term Loan repayments and a $7,516 investment in marketable securities. We have a fully undrawn $50,000 revolving credit facility at September 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

We believe that cash and cash equivalents on hand, marketable securities, cash flow from operations, funds available under our current credit facilities and any future replacement thereof will be sufficient to fund the working capital, required minimum debt service payments, and other capital expenditure requirements of our current business operations for the foreseeable future. We may also execute capital markets transactions, including at-the-market offering programs, to raise additional funds if we believe market conditions are favorable, but there can be no assurance that any future capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. 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 financial market conditions, including the related impact on credit availability and capital markets.

Debt facilities

On December 23, 2021, we entered into a five-year $200,000 syndicated credit agreement (“credit facility”) which included a $150,000 Term Loan, which is amortizable at 10% of principal per year with a balloon payment for the outstanding balance upon the credit facility maturity date in 2026, and allows for revolving loans of up to $50,000. The credit facility has an accordion feature to increase the commitments by $100,000 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 four banks, with KeyBank, N.A. acting as administrative agent. The credit facility is secured by the assets of DMC including accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets, including Arcadia and its subsidiary, as well as guarantees and share pledges by DMC and its subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the $150,000 Term Loan and $50,000 revolving loan limit can be in the form of Adjusted Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") loans or one month Adjusted Term SOFR loans. Additionally, U.S. 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 rate, an adjusted Federal Funds rate or an adjusted SOFR rate). SOFR loans bear interest at the applicable SOFR 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%).

The leverage ratio is defined in the credit facility as the ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the credit facility) on the last day of any trailing four quarter period to Consolidated Pro Forma EBITDA (as defined in the credit facility) for such period. Consolidated Pro Forma EBITDA equals Adjusted EBITDA as calculated within the Consolidated Results of Operations section plus certain predefined add-backs, which include up to $5,000 for one-time integration expenses incurred in the twelve-month period following the closing date of the Arcadia acquisition. The maximum leverage ratio permitted by our credit facility is 3.0 to 1.0 from the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and thereafter. The actual leverage ratio as of September 30, 2023, calculated in accordance with the credit facility, as amended, was 1.26 to 1.0.

As of September 30, 2023, borrowings of $121,250 on the Term Loan under our credit facility were outstanding. No amounts were outstanding on the $50,000 revolver as of September 30, 2023.

We also maintain a line of credit with a German bank for certain European operations. This line of credit provides a borrowing capacity of €7,000 on which no amounts were outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

Redeemable noncontrolling interest

The Operating Agreement for Arcadia contains a right for the Company to purchase the remaining interest in Arcadia from the minority interest holder on or after the third anniversary of the acquisition closing date (“Call Option”). Similarly, the minority interest holder of Arcadia has the right to sell its remaining interest in Arcadia to the Company on or after the third anniversary of the acquisition closing date (“Put Option”). Both the Call Option and Put Option enable the respective holder to exercise their rights based upon a predefined calculation as included within the Operating Agreement.

As of September 30, 2023, the settlement amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest of $187,522 remains unchanged from December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 2 within Item 1 for further information related to the valuation of the redeemable noncontrolling interest.

Other contractual obligations and commitments

Our debt balance, net of deferred debt issuance costs, decreased to $119,460 at September 30, 2023 from $132,798 at December 31, 2022 for the reasons discussed above. Our other contractual obligations and commitments have not materially changed since December 31, 2022.

Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $42,748 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $24,335 in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher net income and a reduction in working capital cash usage as activity levels have stabilized.

Cash flows used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $14,971 related to the acquisitions of property, plant and equipment of $7,455 and investment in marketable securities of $7,516. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $13,311 related to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and consideration adjustments attributable to the Arcadia acquisition.

Cash flows used in financing activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $26,211 primarily included distributions to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder of $10,345, required quarterly principal payments and a prepayment on our Term Loan of $13,750, and treasury stock purchases of $2,328. Net cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $22,814 primarily included distributions to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder of $10,293, required quarterly principal payments on our Term Loan of $11,250, and treasury stock purchases of $1,092.

Payment of Dividends

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.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires that management make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for revenues, expenses, asset, liabilities, and other related disclosures. Our critical accounting estimates have not changed from those reported in Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

There were no material changes in market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates from the information provided in Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report, and they have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the third quarter of 2023, Arcadia implemented a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. As a result of this transition, certain changes to our processes and procedures resulted in changes to our internal controls over financial reporting. We expect the new ERP will strengthen our internal financial controls by providing operational and reporting enhancements. For further discussion of the risks associated with Arcadia’s internal control environment, see risk factor, “The acquisition of Arcadia is expected to materially complicate the timely achievement of effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price” in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

There were no other changes that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
