1. Interim
Financial Statements
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of NN, Inc. (the “Company”) have
not been audited, except that the balance sheet at December 31, 2006 is derived
from the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements. In the opinion of
the Company’s management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments
necessary to fairly state the results of operations for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s financial position at March 31,
2007 and December 31, 2006, and the cash flows for the three month periods
ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature
and
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair statement of the financial
position and operating results for the interim periods. As used in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “NN”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”, or
“us” mean NN, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements
presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These unaudited, condensed,
consolidated and unaudited, consolidated financial statements should be read
in
conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006 which we filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 16, 2007.
The
results for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2007 or any other future
periods.

4. Segment
Information
The
segment information and the accounting policies of each segment are the same
as
those described in the “Segment Information” footnote and the “Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies” footnote, respectively, in our annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. We evaluate segment
performance based on income or loss from operations after income taxes. We
account for inter-segment sales and transfers at current market prices. We
did
not have any significant inter-segment transactions during the three month
periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. As discussed in our annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, we changed our segment
reporting during the fourth quarter of 2006. The first quarter of 2006 has
been restated to conform to the new segment reporting.

5. Recent
Investing Activity
The
opening balance sheet for the Whirlaway Corporation (“Whirlaway”) acquisition on
November 30, 2006 is still in the process of being finalized. For the quarter
ended March 31, 2007, there have been no changes to the opening balance sheet
assets or liabilities apart from Goodwill which increased $25 as legal costs
related to the acquisition paid subsequent to year end were added. The
following unaudited proforma financial information shows the net sales, net
income, and net income per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2006
as though the acquisition of Whirlaway occured at the beginning

7. New
Accounting Pronouncements
In
July
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes". FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company
should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements
uncertain tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax
return. Under FIN 48, the financial statements will reflect expected future
tax
consequences of such positions presuming the taxing authorities' full knowledge
of the position and all relevant facts, but without considering time values.
FIN
48 also revises disclosure requirements and introduces a prescriptive, annual,
tabular roll-forward of the unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48 is effective

additional information.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair
Value Measurements”
(SFAS
157), which provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities that
use
fair value. SFAS 157 will apply whenever another US GAAP standard requires
(or
permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand
the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard also will require
additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. SFAS 157 will
be
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and will be adopted by us beginning in the first quarter
of
2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have
on
our consolidated financial position and results of operations, but do not
believe the impact of the adoption will be material.

In
February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115." SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified
election dates. Upon adoption, an entity shall report unrealized gains and
losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings
at
each subsequent reporting date. Most of the provisions apply only to entities
that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," applies
to
all entities with available for sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 will
be effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins
after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect SFAS
No.

the Whirlaway acquisition. The majority of the current maturities of long-term
debt are borrowings under our $10.0 million short-term swing line used for
cash management purposes. As of March 31, 2007, $1,106 of capitalized loan

Of
the
intangible assets within the Precision Metal Components Segment, the majority
of
the value is customer relationship intangibles with an estimated fair
value of $6,900. This intangible asset has an estimated useful life of 20
years and $87 of amortization expense was recorded in 2007. The remaining
balance is made up of a covenant not to compete of $150 and a favorable
leasehold interest of $130. These items are amortizable over two
and two and a half years, respectively, and $19 and $13 in
amortization expense was recorded in 2007. The accumulated amortization related
to all of these intangible assets at March 31, 2007 was $158. Also in the
Precision Metal Components Segment is an intangible asset not subject to
amortization of $900 related to the value of the trade names of
Whirlaway. The Company is still in the process of finalizing the valuation
of these intangible assets.

Compensation
In
the
three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, approximately $134 and $103,
respectively, of compensation expense was recognized in selling, general and
administrative expense for all share-based awards. The cost recognized related
to the restricted stock awards for the three month periods was $13 and $103,
respectively. The compensation expense recognized related to stock options
during the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $121 and $0,
respectively. The impact on net income of all stock compensation expense in
the
three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $129, net
of
tax benefits of $5 and $66 net of tax benefits of $37, respectively.
On
March
1, 2007, the Company granted 30,000 options to certain employees of
Whirlaway. The fair value of the options cannot be determined by market value
as
our options are not traded in an open market. Accordingly, a financial pricing
model is utilized to determine fair value. The Company utilizes the Black
Scholes model which relies on certain assumptions to estimate an option's fair
value.

Related Party Transactions
During

the
Company remitted $18,638 to the former sole shareholder of Whirlaway to
partially pay-off the related party note payable. The payment was financed
under
our $90 million credit facility. The remaining balance owed of $2,667 relates
to
guarantees to the former sole shareholder for tax liabilities related to the
sale of Whirlaway.
Note
15.
Provision for Income Taxes
The
Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of
the
implementation of FIN 48, the company recognized a $600 increase in our
income tax liabilities and a corresponding reduction in beginning retained
earnings.
As
of the
date of adoption, the total unrecognized benefits were approximately $1,464
all
of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The amount of
unrecognized benefits increased approximately $300 in the first quarter of
2007.
The increase in the unrecognized benefits in the first quarter of 2007
was for continued operations and was not the result of any new tax
positions adopted. During the next twelve months, we expect that this
balance will be reduced by approximately $200 due to a state tax liability
that will be paid in the second quarter of 2007.
Interest
and penalties related to federal, state, and foreign income tax matters are
recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes in our statements
of income. We recorded an insignificant amount of foreign interest and penalties
to the provision for income taxes in the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
The
Company or its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal
jurisdiction, and in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few
exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state and
local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before
2001. The Company is no longer subject to non-U.S. income
tax examinations within various European Union Countries for years before
2002.
For
the
quarter ended March 31, 2007, the difference between the federal statutory
tax
rate of 34% and our effective tax rate of 39% is due to non-U.S. based earnings
taxed at higher rates.

Sales.
Sales
have increased due to the addition of Whirlaway, which at March 31, 2007
made up the entire Precision Metal Components Segment, in November
2006 ($18.0 million) and due to appreciation in value of Euro denominated sales
relative to the U.S. Dollar ($5.4 million). In addition, sales have increased
due to passing through raw material inflation to customers ($1.0 million).
Partially offsetting these increases are reductions from price decreases given
to several large customers in agreement with contractual terms ($1.2 million)
and unfavorable product mix to existing customers ($1.3 million).
Cost
of Products Sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization).
Cost of
products sold increased primarily due to the addition of the Precision Metal
Components Segment in November 2006 ($15.1 million) and due to the increase
in
value of Euro denominated costs relative to the U.S. Dollar ($4.3 million).
In
addition, raw material, labor and utility inflation increased ($2.0
million). Offsetting these increases were favorable mix impacts to cost of
products sold ($1.0 million) and the impact of planned projects focused at
reducing cost of manufacturing ($1.3 million).
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses.
The
increase was primarily due to the addition of the Precision Metal Components
Segment in November 2006 ($1.1 million). In addition, the total
increased due to the increase in the value of the Euro relative to the U.S.
Dollar ($0.4 million). Finally, the total was higher due to
recognizing stock option expense and from higher spending on consulting and
professional fees ($0.2 million).
Depreciation
and Amortization. These
costs are higher due to the acquisition of the Precision Metal Components
Segment ($1.0 million) and due to the increase in the value of
the Euro based depreciation and amortization relative to the U.S.
Dollar ($0.3 million).
Interest
expense. Interest
expense is higher due to the additional debt assumed to acquire the Precision
Metal Components Segment, in November 2006 ($0.6 million) and from
interest on a note assumed with that acquisition ($0.1
million).
Gain
on disposal of assets. In
2006,
we incurred a gain from the sale of excess land at our Pinerolo, Italy facility
($1.8 million) partially offset by a loss on disposal of excess equipment at
the
same facility ($1.1 million).
14
Provision
for income taxes. The
2006
first quarter effective rate is lower than the historical effective
rate due to the favorable 19% tax rate on the gain from sale of
land at our Pinerolo, Italy facility.

The
sales
increase at the Metal Bearing Components Segment was primarily due to the
positive impacts from the rise in value of Euro based sales relative to the
U.S.
Dollar ($5.4 million). Additionally, the Metal Bearing Components Segment
experienced higher volume with existing European customers ($2.2 million)
and increases related to passing through raw material inflation to
customers ($0.9 million). These increases were partially offset by unfavorable
product mix to existing customers ($1.4 million) and due to contractual price
decreases to certain large customers ($1.2 million).
The decrease
in segment profit in the first quarter of 2007 was primarily related to
price decreases given to certain customers under contractual terms ($0.7
million, net of tax) and a gain on the sale of land at our Pinerolo,
Italy facility in the first quarter of 2006 ($0.8 million, net of
tax). Raw material cost inflation was offset by price increases under
contractual terms to certain customers, resulting in little impact on segment
profit. Additionally, cost reduction projects offset utility and labor
inflation. Euro denominated net sales and profits were favorably
impacted by the increase in the value of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar ($0.3
million, net of tax). Finally, the favorable impact from higher sales
volumes in Europe increased profit ($0.4 million, net of tax).

The
Precision Metal Components Segment was added on November 30, 2006 with the
purchase of Whirlaway. Therefore, the segment was not included in the financial
statements of the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
The
first
quarter 2007 results of Whirlaway are not indicative of normalized annual
operations. Historically, the first quarter has lower volume than average due
to
the purchasing patterns of the end markets served. Volume in the
first quarter of 2007 was down against historical sales levels
due to lower demand at customers that serve the U.S.
automotive and housing markets. The segment sales and segment profit
were in line with management expectations for
the quarter.

Revenues
in the Plastic and Rubber Components Segment were down due to lower sales
volume into the automotive market ($1.4 million) and lower sales to certain
specialty non-automotive customers ($0.8 million). Partially offsetting the
volume decreases were benefits from raw material inflation pass through ($0.2
million).
Segment
profit was negatively affected by the volume decreases in sales net of cost
of
goods sold ($0.7 million, after tax). Partially offsetting the volume impact
were planned cost reduction projects net of inflation ($0.3 million, after
tax).
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Amounts
outstanding under our $90.0 million credit facility and our $40.0 million notes
as of March 31, 2007 were $66.1 million and $40.0 million, respectively. See
Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We were in compliance
with all covenants of our $90.0 million syndicated credit facility and our
$40.0
million senior notes as of March 31, 2007.
As
of
March 31, 2007, the Company had $24 million of availability under the
$90.0 million five year revolving credit facility, with Key Bank as the
administrative agent, which can be increased up to a maximum of $120.0 million
under certain conditions. Our borrowings under the credit facility
increased by $18.6 million related to the acquisition of Whirlaway. In
addition, short-term borrowings increased $8.1million due to short-term cash
flow needs from increased receivable balances and increased cash balances at
our
European operations.

our locations use the Euro as their functional currency. In 2007, the
fluctuation of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar favorably impacted revenue
and income and increased the value of assets and liabilities, as the average
Euro exchange rate was higher for the three months ended March 31,
2007 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2006 and
the
spot rate at March 31, 2007 was higher than the exchange rate at December 31,
2006. As of March 31, 2007, no currency hedges were in place. Changes in
value of the U.S. Dollar and/or Euro against foreign currencies could
impair our ability to compete with international competitors for foreign as
well
as domestic sales.
Working
capital, which consists principally of accounts receivable and inventories
offset by accounts payable, was $53.8 million at March 31, 2007 as compared
to
$51.0 million at December 31, 2006. The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities decreased from 1.68:1 at December 31, 2006 to 1.61:1 at March 31,
2007. The increase in working capital was due primarily to the increase in
the
cash balance at our European operations ($5.6 million) and the increase in
accounts receivable balances ($9.0 million) due to higher sales volume in the
first quarter of 2007 compared to the fourth quarter of 2006.
Partially offsetting these increases was the addition of dividends payable
($1.4
million) and a higher current maturities of long-term debt balance ($9.3
million).
Cash
flow
used by operations was $ 0.1 million during the first three months of 2007,
compared with cash flow used by operations of $3.2 million during the first
three months of 2006. The decrease in cash flow used by operations is due
to accounts receivable having increased in 2007 at a much lower rate than 2006
due to improved days sales outstanding in 2007.
Total
assets and current assets increased approximately $2.2 million and $0.8 million,
respectively, from the December 31, 2006 balance due to appreciation of the
Euro
relative to the U.S. Dollar. Factoring out the foreign exchange effects,
accounts receivable was up due to higher sales volume in the first quarter
of
2007 than the fourth quarter of 2006 ($9.0 million). Inventories were
higher ($0.9 million) due to higher sales volumes. Cash and cash
equivalents were higher due to the positive cash flow at our European operations
($5.7 million). Factoring out foreign exchange effects, property, plant
and equipment was lower as year to date capital spending has been lower
than depreciation ($1.9 million).
16
Total
liabilities and current liabilities increased approximately $1.0 million and
$0.7 million, respectively, from the December 31, 2006 balance due to
appreciation of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar. Factoring out the foreign
exchange effects, accounts payable was lower primarily due to the pay-off of
certain payables from year end December 31, 2006 ($2.0 million). The short-term
portion of long-term debt increased as we used our short-term swing line to
finance the increase in working capital from year end due to higher sales ($9.3
million). In addition, due to the declared but unpaid dividend, liabilities
increased in the first quarter ($1.4 million). Finally,
liabilities increased due to the accrual of taxes on first quarter
income and from the adoption of FIN 48 ($2.5 million).
During
2007, we plan to spend approximately $19.0 million on capital expenditures
of
which $11.3 million is related primarily to equipment, process upgrades, and
replacements and approximately $7.7 million is related to geographic
expansion of our manufacturing base. Of these amounts, approximately $3.2
million has been spent through March 31, 2007. We intend to finance these
activities with cash generated from operations and funds available under the
credit facilities described above. We believe that funds generated from
operations and borrowings from the credit facilities will be sufficient to
finance our working capital needs, projected capital expenditure requirements
and dividend payments through December 2007.
During
the first quarter of 2006, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase
program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $10 million in our
common stock during the subsequent 18 months in the open market or in private
transactions, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. During the
three month period ended March 31, 2007, the Company did not repurchase any
shares under this plan or make any other repurchases of common
stock.
During
the first quarter of 2007, a dividend was declared on March 14, 2007 totaling
$1.4 million. This dividend was paid on April 6, 2007.
Seasonality
and Fluctuation in Quarterly Results
Our
net
sales in the Metal Bearing Components Segment historically have been of a
seasonal nature due to the fact that a significant portion of our sales are
to
European customers that significantly slow production during the month of
August. With the addition of the Precision Metal Components Segment, the
seasonality of the Company should become less pronounced as sales
volumes within this segment are lower in the first and fourth quarters and
higher in the second and third quarters.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
significant accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments
underlying them, are disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2006, including those policies as discussed in
Note 1 to the annual report. These policies have been consistently applied
in
all material respects and address such matters as revenue recognition, inventory
valuation, asset impairment recognition, business combination accounting and
pension and postretirement benefits. There can be no assurance that actual
results will not significantly differ from the estimates used in these critical
immaterial accounting policies. The only change during the three month period
ended March 31, 2007 was adoption of FIN 48 related to accounting for uncertain
tax positions. FIN 48 has had an immaterial effect on the financial
statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2007.
Sales
Concentration
In
January 2007, we entered into a two-year supply agreement with Schaeffler Group
(INA) effective as of July 1, 2006 that replaced the agreement that expired
on
June 30, 2006. Terms of a new multi-year contract were agreed to with
SKF in the second quarter of 2007 and those terms will be
retroactively effective as of January 1, 2007 and will be effective
until December 31, 2009.
European
Restructuring
As
previously mentioned in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006, during 2006 we entered into negotiations with representatives
of the Eltmann, Germany plant employees. The negotiations seek significant
wage reductions and changes in work rules. These negotiations are still in
process as of the date of this report and are still expected to be concluded
during 2007.
17
If
a
satisfactory agreement cannot be reached, we may begin to shift production
to
lower cost facilities, thereby incurring costs for the production shifts and
necessitating further restructuring at the Eltmann facility, which could include
actions leading to a significant downsizing or even closure of the facility.
If
this were to occur, we would experience significant cash restructuring costs
and
impairment charges for tangible and intangible assets. In addition, such a
restructuring might cause assets at other European plants to become impaired.
We
do not believe that such action is probable at this time.
Item 3. |
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
|
We
are
exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of our
business due to use of certain financial instruments as well as transacting
in
various foreign currencies. To mitigate the exposure to these market risks,
we
have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our
management of financial market risks. We are exposed to changes in interest
rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities. At March 31, 2007,
we
had $66.1 million outstanding under the domestic credit facilities and $40.0
million aggregate principal amount of senior notes outstanding. See Note 8
of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. At March 31, 2007, a one-percent
increase in the interest rate charged on our outstanding borrowings under our
credit facilities, which are subject to variable interest rates, would result
in
interest expense increasing annually by approximately $0.6 million.
Translation
of our operating cash flows denominated in foreign currencies is impacted by
changes in foreign exchange rates. We did not hold a position in any foreign
currency hedging instruments as of March 31, 2007.
Item 4. |
Controls
and Procedures
|
Under
the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March
31, 2007, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
There
have been no changes in this fiscal quarter in our internal control over
financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Part
II. Other Information
Item 1. |
Legal
Proceedings
|
On
March
20, 2006, we, as well as numerous other parties, received correspondence from
the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) requesting information regarding a
former waste recycling vendor previously used by us. The vendor has since ceased
operations and the EPA is investigating the clean up of the site or sites used
by the vendor. As of the date of this report, we do not know whether we have
any
liability related to this vendor’s actions or estimatable range for any
potential liability.
All
of
our other legal proceedings are of an ordinary and routine nature and are
incidental to our operations. Management believes that such proceedings should
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our
business or financial condition or on the results of operations.
Item
