EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This quarterly report (“this quarterly report”) combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 of Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. and Thermon Holding Corp.

 

Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references in this quarterly report to:

 

·                  “TGH” mean Thermon Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation;

 

·                  “THC” mean Thermon Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation; and

 

·                  “we,” “our,” “us” or “the Company” mean TGH, THC and their consolidated subsidiaries taken together as one company.

 

TGH was incorporated in Delaware in March 2010 in connection with the acquisition by an affiliate of CHS Capital LLC, or CHS, of a majority interest in us on April 30, 2010, which we refer to, together with certain transactions related to such acquisition described below, as the CHS Transactions.  TGH is the sole stockholder of THC.

 

THC is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of TGH and was incorporated in Delaware in 2007 in connection with the acquisition by an affiliate of the Audax Group private equity firm, or Audax, of a majority interest in us in August 2007, which we refer to as the Audax Transaction.

 

TGH is a holding company that conducts all of its business through THC and its subsidiaries. In May 2011, TGH completed an initial public offering (or “IPO”) of its common stock. In the aggregate, 10,650,000 shares of TGH common stock were sold in the IPO at a price to the public of $12.00 per share.  TGH’s common stock, which we refer to as our common stock, is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “THR.”

 

THC owns 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Thermon Industries, Inc. (“TII”), which issued $210,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2017, which have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or the “Securities Act”), and which we refer to as our senior secured notes.  THC and the domestic subsidiaries of TII are guarantors of our senior secured notes.

 

We believe combining the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of TGH and THC into this single report provides the following benefits:

 

·                       it enhances investors’ understanding of TGH and THC by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

 

·                       it eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both TGH and THC; and

 

·                       it creates time and cost efficiencies for both companies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

 

In order to highlight the differences between TGH and THC, there are sections in this quarterly report that separately discuss TGH and THC, including separate financial statements and notes thereto and separate Exhibit 31 and Exhibit 32 certifications.  In the sections that combine disclosure for TGH and THC (i.e., where the disclosure refers to the consolidated company), this quarterly report refers to actions or holdings as our actions or holdings and, unless otherwise indicated, such references relate to the actions or holdings of TGH and THC and their respective subsidiaries, as one consolidated company.

 

Finally, in connection with the IPO:

 

·                       TGH amended its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase its authorized capital stock and effect a 192.458681-for-one split of the common stock of TGH, which occurred on March 31, 2011;

 

·                       the two classes of TGH common stock were automatically converted into a single class of voting common stock;

 

·                       TGH and its stockholders adopted a second amended and restated certificate of incorporation;

 



Table of Contents

 

·                       TGH initially issued and sold 4,000,000 shares of its common stock and subsequently issued and sold 575,098 shares of its common stock pursuant to a partial exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option;

 

·                       certain stockholders of TGH initially sold 6,000,000 shares of TGH common stock and subsequently sold 74,902 shares of TGH common stock pursuant to a partial exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option;

 

·                       options to purchase 2,757,524 shares of TGH common stock granted under the Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Equity Plan”) accelerated and became immediately exercisable; and

 

·                       options to purchase 117,600 shares of TGH common stock were granted under the Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”).

 

Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, all information in this quarterly report gives effect to and assumes the occurrence of the foregoing actions.

Thermon Group Holdings, Inc.

 

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Data)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

On April 30, 2010, a group of investors led by entities affiliated with CHS Capital LLC  (“CHS”) and two other private equity firms acquired a controlling interest in Thermon Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries from Thermon Holdings, LLC (“Predecessor”) for approximately $321,500 in a transaction that was financed by approximately $129,200 of equity investments by CHS, two other private equity firms and certain members of our current and former management team (collectively, the “management investors”) and $210,000 of debt raised in an exempt Rule 144A senior secured note offering to qualified institutional investors (collectively, the “CHS Transactions”). The proceeds from the equity investments and debt financing were used both to finance the acquisition and pay related transaction costs. As a result of the CHS Transactions, Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. became the ultimate parent of Thermon Holding Corp. Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. (“TGH”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are referred to collectively as “we”,”our”, the “Company” or “Successor” herein.  We refer to CHS and the two other private equity fund investors collectively as “our private equity sponsors.”

 

In the CHS Transactions, the senior secured notes were issued by Thermon Finance, Inc., which immediately after the closing of the CHS Transactions was merged into our wholly-owned subsidiary Thermon Industries, Inc.

 

The CHS Transactions were accounted for as a purchase combination. The purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. While the Company takes responsibility for the allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, it consulted with an independent third party to assist with the appraisal process.

 

Pushdown accounting was employed to reflect the purchase price paid by our new owner.

 

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements as if TGH had been in existence throughout all relevant periods. The historical financial and other data prior to the closing of the CHS Transactions on April 30, 2010 have been prepared using the historical results of operations and bases of the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor. Our historical financial data prior to May 1, 2010 may not be indicative of our future performance. The CHS Transactions which closed on April 30, 2010, resulted in the liquidation of the equity balances that belonged to the previous owner.  Accordingly, the consolidated statement of operations and cash flows are reported separately for the period from April 1, 2010 to April 30, 2010 for the Predecessor.  The settlement of equity balances and associated transaction expenses of the Predecessor are reported in the period from April 1, 2010 to April 30, 2010.

 

In May 2011, Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common shares in which it issued 4,575,098 new common shares and received net proceeds of $48,459, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. Refer to Note 13, “Shareholders’ Equity”.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of TGH for the year ended March 31, 2011. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, and the results of our operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the nine months ended December 31, 2011, the period from May 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 and the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010. Operating results for the period from May 1 through December 31, 2010 and for the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period presentation to conform to the current period presentation.  All dollar and share amounts are presented in thousands, unless otherwise noted.

 

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the FASB updated FASB ASC 220, Comprehensive Income (FASB ASC 220) that gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income.  The update does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The update does not change the option for an entity to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, with one amount shown for the aggregate income tax expense or benefit related to the total of other comprehensive income items.  The update does not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented.  The update should be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  We are currently evaluating the requirements of this update and have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB updated FASB ASC 350, Goodwill and Other (FASB ASC 350) that gives an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary.  The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment test performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  We are currently evaluating the requirements of this update and have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2010, the FASB updated FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (FASB ASC 820) that requires additional disclosures and clarifies existing disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The additional disclosures include (i) transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and (ii) activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The update provides amendments that clarify existing disclosures on level of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted the update on April 1, 2010 as required and subsequently adopted on April 1, 2011, the update surrounding disclosures on Level 3 fair value measurements and concluded it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.  In May 2011, the FASB updated FASB ASC 820 that resulted in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).  Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  We are currently evaluating the requirements of this update and have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

3. Earnings and Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per share (EPS) and net loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding (if dilutive) during each period. The number of common share equivalents, which include options and P units, is computed using the treasury stock method.

 

The reconciliation of the denominators used to calculate basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the nine months ended December 31, 2011, the period from May 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 and the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010, respectively, are as follows:

The excess purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. As we have one operating segment, we allocate goodwill to one reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach based on the market capitalization of the reporting unit. Our annual impairment test will be performed as of January 1, 2012. At December 31, 2011, there were no indicators of a goodwill impairment.  Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Trademarks and certifications have indefinite lives. Developed technology, customer relationships, and other intangible assets have estimated lives of 20 years, 10 years, and 6 years, respectively. The weighted average useful life for the group is 10 years.

 

The net carrying amounts of intangible assets are affected by currency translation adjustments.   As compared to the net carrying amounts at March 31, 2011, intangible assets at December 31, 2011, were approximately $4,485 million lower due to fluctuations in exchange rates used to value intangible assets carried in foreign currency.

9. Related-Party Transactions

 

We paid management fees including a termination fee in connection with our IPO to our private equity sponsors of $8,120 in the nine months ended December 31, 2011.  In the prior year periods of May 1 to December 31, 2010 and April 1 to April 30, 2010, we paid management fees (both “Successor” and “Predecessor”) of $1,333 and $79, respectively. Management fees including the termination fee are included as part of Marketing, general and administrative and engineering expense. Additionally, in the prior year periods of May 1 to December 31, 2010 and April 1 to April 30, 2010, we paid success fees to owners (both Successor and Predecessor) of $3,022 and $4,716, respectively.

 

Included in our consolidated balance sheet is “Obligations due to settle the CHS Transaction” which totaled $3,550 and $4,213 at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.  These amounts represent amounts due to the Predecessor owners in final settlement of the sale that was completed on April 30, 2010.  During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, we paid $137 and $663, respectively, to the Predecessor owners for cash amounts that were released during the three month period.  At December 31, 2011, the amount outstanding represents the estimate of tax refunds due from government entities that have not been received but are related to the final tax periods filed by the Predecessor and remaining encumbered cash to be released as letters of credit expire.

 

10. Short-Term Revolving Lines of Credit

 

The Company’s subsidiary in the Netherlands has a revolving credit facility in the amount of Euro 4,000 (equivalent to $5,169 USD at December 31, 2011) collateralized by receivables, inventory, equipment, furniture and real estate.

Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Secured Notes

 

Revolving credit facility.  Simultaneously with the closing of the CHS Transactions and the sale of our senior secured notes, our wholly owned subsidiary, Thermon Industries, Inc., entered into a five-year, $40.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which we refer to as our revolving credit facility, of which up to $20.0 million is available to our Canadian subsidiary, subject to borrowing base availability. Availability of funds under our revolving credit facility is determined by a borrowing base equal to the

 

8



Table of Contents

 

sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 60% of eligible inventory, plus 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible equipment, plus 50% of the fair market value of eligible owned real property. In no case shall availability under our revolving credit facility exceed the commitments thereunder. As of December 31, 2011, we had $30.4 million of capacity available under our revolving credit facility after taking into account the borrowing base, outstanding loan advances and letters of credit. In addition to our revolving credit facility, we have various short term revolving lines of credit available to us at our foreign affiliates.  At December 31, 2011 we had $9.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility with an interest rate of 5%.

 

The revolving credit facility will mature in 2015. Any borrowings on our revolving credit facility will incur interest expense that is variable in relation to the LIBOR rate. Borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars under the Canadian facility bear interest at a variable rate in relation to the bankers’ acceptance rate, as set forth in the revolving credit facility. In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, we are required to pay a 0.75% per annum commitment fee to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder and letter of credit fees equal to the LIBOR margin or the bankers’ acceptance rate, as applicable, on the undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit.

 

Senior secured notes.  As of December 31, 2011, we had $139.1 million of indebtedness outstanding under our senior secured notes with annual cash interest expense of approximately $13.2 million. Our senior secured notes mature on May 1, 2017 and accrue interest at a fixed rate of 9.500%. We pay interest in cash semi-annually on May and November 1 of each year.  Our senior secured notes were issued in a Rule 144A exempt senior secured note offering to qualified institutional investors.  The proceeds were used to fund the purchase price for the CHS Transactions and related transaction costs.  In January 2011, we consummated an offer to exchange the old restricted senior secured notes for new, SEC-registered senior secured notes.

 

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, the Company made partial redemptions of the senior secured notes in the amount of $4,265 and $70,855, respectively.  In connection with these redemptions, the Company paid cash premiums on redemption of $229 and $3,195 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, respectively. In addition, the Company accelerated deferred debt amortization of $174 and $3,096 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, respectively.  These expenses were included in interest expense for the periods reported.

 

Guarantees; security.  The obligations under our revolving credit facility and our senior secured notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and each of its existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, other than Thermon Industries, Inc., the issuer of the senior secured notes. The obligations under our revolving credit facility are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of our and the guarantors’ assets, subject to certain exceptions, permitted liens and encumbrances reasonably acceptable to the agent under our revolving credit facility. Our senior secured notes and guarantees are also secured by liens on substantially all of our and the guarantors’ assets, subject to certain exceptions; provided, however, that the liens are contractually subordinated to the liens thereon that secure our revolving credit facility.

 

Restrictive covenants.  The revolving credit facility and senior secured notes contain various restrictive covenants that include restrictions or limitations on our ability to: incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified capital stock unless certain financial tests are satisfied; pay dividends, redeem subordinated debt or make other restricted payments; make certain investments or acquisitions; issue stock of subsidiaries; grant or permit certain liens on our assets; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all of our assets; incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting certain of our subsidiaries; transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of our subsidiaries; and change the business we conduct. However, all of these covenants are subject to customary exceptions.

Level 2 - Market Approach

 

 

Differences between carrying value and fair value are primarily due to instruments that provide fixed interest rates or contain fixed interest rate elements. Inherently, such instruments are subject to fluctuations in fair value due to subsequent movements in interest rates.

 

Foreign Currency Transaction Risk.

 

We transact business in various foreign currencies and have established a program that primarily utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risk associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Under this program, increases or decreases in our foreign currency exposures are offset by gains or losses on the forward contracts, to mitigate the possibility of foreign currency transaction gains or losses. These foreign currency exposures typically arise

Table of Contents

 

from intercompany transactions. Our forward contracts generally have terms of 90 days or less. We do not use forward contracts for trading purposes nor do we designate these forward contracts as hedging instruments pursuant to ASC 815. We adjust the carrying amount of all contracts to their fair value at the end of each reporting period and unrealized gains and losses are included in our results of operations for that period. These gains and losses largely offset gains and losses resulting from settlement of payments received from our foreign operations which are settled in U.S. dollars. All outstanding foreign currency forward contracts are marked to market at the end of the period with unrealized gains and losses included in miscellaneous expense. The balance sheet reflects unrealized gains within prepaid expenses and other current assets and unrealized losses within accrued liabilities. Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to currency fluctuations will depend on the currency exchange rates and other factors in effect as the contracts mature. As of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the notional amounts of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies were $14,019 and zero, respectively.

 

Net foreign exchange transaction losses included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations were $213 and $1,456 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, the period from May 1 through December 31, 2010 and the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010, losses from foreign exchange transactions were $242, $566 and zero, respectively. The fair values of foreign currency forward contracts were not significant individually and approximated $59 as of December 31, 2011.

 

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

Financial assets and liabilities with the carrying amounts approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, current debt, accounts payable and other current liabilities.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

 

At December 31, 2011, the Company had in place letter of credit guarantees and performance bonds securing performance obligations of the Company. These arrangements totaled approximately $7,594.  Of this amount, $2,291 is secured by cash deposits at the Company’s financial institutions.  The remaining $5,303 represents a reduction of the available amount of the Company’s Short Term and Long Term Revolving Lines of Credit. Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, was approximately $2,291 and $2,133, respectively, of cash deposits pledged as collateral on performance bonds and letters of credit.

 

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business and believes that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses. Expenses related to litigation are included in operating income. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings would have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations, or cash flows. It is possible, however, that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results or cash flows in any one accounting period.

 

The Company has no outstanding legal matters outside of matters arising in the ordinary course of business, except as described below. We can give no assurances we will prevail in any of these matters.

 

Asbestos Litigation—Since 1999, we have been named as one of many defendants in 16 personal injury suits alleging exposure to asbestos from our products. None of the cases alleges premises liability. Two cases are currently pending. Insurers are defending us in one of the two lawsuits, and we expect that an insurer will defend us in the remaining matter. Of the concluded suits, there were seven cost of defense settlements and the remainder were dismissed without payment. There are no claims unrelated to asbestos exposure for which coverage has been sought under the policies that are providing coverage.

 

Indian Sales Tax and Customs Disputes—Our Indian subsidiary is currently disputing assessments of administrative sales tax and customs duties with Indian tax and customs authorities. In addition, we currently have a customs duty case before the Supreme Court in India, on appeal by custom authorities. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we concluded settlement of some of these matters whereby Thermon paid approximately $88.  We have reserved $287 in estimated settlement of the remaining matters.

 

Notice of Tax Dispute with the Canada Revenue AgencyOn June 13, 2011, we received notice from the Canada Revenue Agency (“Agency”) advising us that they disagree with the tax treatment we proposed with respect to certain asset transfers that was completed in August 2007 by our Predecessor owners.  As a result, the Agency proposes to disallow the interest deductions taken in Canada for tax years 2008, 2009 and 2010.   In total these interest deductions amounted to $11,640.  The statutory tax rate in Canada is approximately 25%, therefore the tax due that is requested by the Agency is approximately $2,910.  At December 31, 2011, we have not recorded a tax liability reserve related to this matter with the Agency, as a loss is not probable or estimable.  While we will vigorously contest this ruling, we expect that any liability, if any, will be covered under an indemnity agreement with the Predecessor owners.

 

Building Construction Accident - On July 27, 2011, during construction of the expansion of our manufacturing facility by a third party contractor in San Marcos, Texas, a section of the partially completed steel framework collapsed during erection.  One employee of the erection subcontractor to the general contractor was killed.  There were no Thermon employees on the construction site at the time of the incident.  We understand that both the general contractor and the steel erection subcontractor were issued citations by OSHA and have been sued in private actions brought by the decedent’s estate as a result of the accident.  The Company has not been fined or named in any lawsuits related to this matter.  Present estimates are that completion of the project will occur by March 31, 2012.  We do not expect significant adverse effects on our ability to produce and ship product as a result of the incident because we had accumulated inventory in preparation of the manufacturing downtime .

13. Shareholders’ Equity

 

In May 2011, we completed an initial public offering of our common stock. We issued 4,575,098 new common shares for which we received $48,459 after deductions for offering expenses, underwriting discounts and commissions. The gross offering price was $12.00 per share.   In addition, some of our stockholders participated in the offering and sold a total of 6,074,902 shares at a gross offering price of $12.00 per share, for which they were paid directly.  After completion of the initial public offering and the issuance of 15,136 restricted shares and the exercise of stock options resulting in the issuance of 307,048 common shares  (see note 15, “Stock-Based Compensation Expense”), Thermon Group Holdings had 29,830,689 shares outstanding out of a total 150,000,000 authorized at December 31, 2011.   At December 31, 2011, CHS and two other private equity firms controlled approximately 52.8% of the common stock of Thermon Group Holdings.

 

Thermon Group Holdings also has 10,000,000 preferred shares authorized with none issued.

15. Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

On October 20, 2010, October 27, 2010 and March 1, 2011 our board of directors granted certain employees and directors options to purchase a combined total of 2,757,524 shares of our common stock under the Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan.  The exercise price for these options was $5.20 per share for the grants issued in October and $9.82 for the grants issued in March.  All options granted have a ten year term. The options are for the purchase of shares of common stock of Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. At the completion of the IPO, all outstanding options that were granted under our Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan became vested and exercisable.  Although the options were exercisable at the time of the IPO, the sale of the underlying option shares were restricted under the lock-up agreements with the IPO underwriters, which began to expire on October 31, 2011.  During the three months ended December 31, 2011, 307,048 common shares were issued in connection with option exercises.   At the date of the IPO on May 5, 2011, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of $6,310 which represented all unamortized stock compensation expense related to the outstanding stock options under the Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan.

 

There were no stock compensation awards issued during the three months ended December 31, 2011.  On May 5, 2011, 117,600 shares, each with an exercise price of $12.00 per share, were granted under our 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan for which stock compensation expense was not accelerated.  They vest ratably over five years with 20% at each anniversary date of the grant.  We valued these options with a Black-Scholes model. Due to the fact that the common stock underlying the options was not publicly traded prior to the IPO, we based the expected volatility on a comparable group of companies. The expected term is based on the simplified method due to the lack of historical exercise data. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the Treasury bill coupon rate for U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity that approximates the expected term. We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, and accordingly we used a dividend yield of zero. Accordingly the assumptions we used included an estimated volatility of 45%, life of option of 6.66 years, risk free rate of 3.25% and no dividend assumption. The weighted-average estimated grant date fair value for employee stock options granted in fiscal 2012 was $5.99 per share. Excluding the $6,310 stock compensation expense associated with the acceleration of the pre-IPO options, the Company recorded stock compensation expense related to unvested awards for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 of $58 and $147, respectively.

Table of Contents

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued a total of 15,136 shares of restricted stock to members of its board of directors.  The restricted shares vest in one half increments over two years at the anniversary of the grant date. While the restricted shares are considered issued for purposes of total common shares outstanding at the time of the grant, they are subject to restrictions on transfer or sale until each anniversary vesting date. We valued the restricted shares at $11.89 per share, which was the market closing price at the date of the grant.  We will expense the value of the restricted shares as stock compensation expense ratably over the vesting period unless any portion is forfeited.

17. Income Taxes

 

Our anticipated annual effective tax rate of approximately 38.0% has been applied to our consolidated pre-tax income for the nine month period ended December 31, 2011. Our anticipated annual effective tax rate was different than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, a difference in rates between the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, and certain permanent differences, such as nondeductible compensation expenses.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s provision for income taxes reflects an effective benefit rate of approximately 59.6%. The effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate due to deferred taxes released when the outstanding Canadian debt facility was retired. For the three month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded tax expense of $4,074 and $1,592 on pre-tax income of $11,007 and $4,601, respectively. In the nine month period ended December 31, 2011 and the eight month period ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded approximately $3,294 and $927 of income tax expense on pre-tax income (loss) of approximately $9,075 and $(10,033), respectively.

 

For the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010 of the Predecessor, an income tax benefit of approximately $17,434 was recorded on a pre-tax loss of $17,701. In connection with the CHS Transactions, the Canadian debt facility was repaid releasing a deferred tax liability of $14,945. Without the benefit of the deferred tax reversal related to the Canadian debt facility, the benefit rate amounted to approximately 14.1%. This benefit rate was increased by foreign tax credits and exchange losses associated with repatriated earnings and decreased by the amount of sellers’ expense stemming from the CHS Transactions that is anticipated to be non-deductible.

 

As of December 31, 2011, we have established a long-term liability for uncertain tax positions in the amount of $1,307 and have recognized no material adjustments to the liability recorded as of March 31, 2011.  All of our unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2011 would affect our effective income tax rate if recognized, though the Company does not expect to recognize any tax benefits in the next twelve months.  The Company recognizes related accrued interest and penalties as income tax expense and has accrued $102 for the nine months ending December 31, 2011, resulting in a cumulative total accrual of $163.

 

Tax years 2007 through 2010 generally remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.  The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns are under exam for the Predecessor’s tax years ending April 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, and as of December 31, 2011 no adjustments have been proposed. The Company’s Canadian federal income tax returns are under exam for the Predecessor’s tax years ending March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010. See Note 12, “Commitments and Contingencies”.

18. Geographic Information

 

We have defined our operating segment based on geographic regions. These regions share similar economic characteristics, similar product mix, similar customers and similar distribution methods. Accordingly, we have elected to aggregate these two geographic regions into a single operating segment. Revenue from the sale of our products which are similar in nature and revenue from construction and engineering are reflected as sales in our consolidated statement of operations.

 

Within its operating segment, the Company has provided further detail for those countries or regions that generate significant revenue and operating income.  For purposes of this note, revenue is attributed to individual countries on the basis of the physical location and jurisdiction of organization of the subsidiary that invoices the material and services.

 

Total sales and operating income classified by major geographic area in which the Company operates are as follows:

Thermon Holding Corp.

 

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

On April 30, 2010, a group of investors led by entities affiliated with CHS Capital LLC (“CHS”) and two other private equity firms acquired a controlling interest in Thermon Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries from Thermon Holdings, LLC (“Predecessor”) for approximately $321,500 in a transaction that was financed by approximately $129,200 of equity investments by CHS, two other private equity firms and certain members of our current and former management team (collectively, the “management investors”) and $210,000 of debt raised in an exempt Rule 144A senior secured note offering to qualified institutional investors (collectively, the “CHS Transactions”). The proceeds from the equity investments and debt financing were used both to finance the acquisition and pay related transaction costs. As a result of the CHS Transactions, Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. became the ultimate parent of Thermon Holding Corp. Thermon Holding Corp. (“THC”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are referred to collectively as “we”,”our”, the “Company” or “Successor” herein.  We refer to CHS and the two other private equity fund investors collectively as “our private equity sponsors.”

 

In the CHS Transactions, the senior secured notes were issued by Thermon Finance, Inc., which immediately after the closing of the CHS Transactions was merged into our wholly-owned subsidiary Thermon Industries, Inc.

 

The CHS Transactions were accounted for as a purchase combination. The purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. While the Company takes responsibility for the allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, it consulted with an independent third party to assist with the appraisal process.

 

Pushdown accounting was employed to reflect the purchase price paid by our new owner.

 

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements as if THC had been in existence throughout all relevant periods. The historical financial and other data prior to the closing of the CHS Transactions on April 30, 2010 have been prepared using the historical results of operations and bases of the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor. Our historical financial data prior to May 1, 2010 may not be indicative of our future performance. The CHS Transactions which closed on April 30, 2010, resulted in the liquidation of the equity balances that belonged to the previous owner.  Accordingly, the consolidated statement of operations and cash flows are reported separately for the period from April 1, 2010 to April 30, 2010 for the (“Predecessor”).  The settlement of equity balances and associated transaction expenses of the Predecessor are reported in the period from April 1, 2010 to April 30, 2010.

 

In May 2011,  our parent, Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common shares in which it received net proceeds of $48,459, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. These proceeds were contributed to the Company and were recorded as “Additional paid in capital” on our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2011.  See Note 12, “Shareholder’s Equity”.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of TGH for the year ended March 31, 2011. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, and the results of our operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the nine months ended December 31, 2011, the period from May 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 and the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010. Operating results for the period from May 1 through December 31, 2010 and for the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period presentation to conform to the current period presentation. All dollar and share amounts are presented in thousands, unless otherwise noted.

 

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the FASB updated FASB ASC 220, Comprehensive Income (FASB ASC 220) that gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income.  The update does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net

Table of Contents

 

income. The update does not change the option for an entity to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, with one amount shown for the aggregate income tax expense or benefit related to the total of other comprehensive income items.  The update does not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented.  The update should be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  We are currently evaluating the requirements of this update and have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2011, the FASB updated FASB ASC 350, Goodwill and Other (FASB ASC 350) that gives an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary.  The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment test performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  We are currently evaluating the requirements of this update and have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2010, the FASB updated FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (FASB ASC 820) that requires additional disclosures and clarifies existing disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The additional disclosures include (i) transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and (ii) activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The update provides amendments that clarify existing disclosures on level of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted the update on April 1, 2010 as required and subsequently adopted on April 1, 2011, the update surrounding disclosures on Level 3 fair value measurements and concluded it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.  In May 2011, the FASB updated FASB ASC 820 that resulted in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).  Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  We are currently evaluating the requirements of this update and have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The excess purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. As we have one operating segment, we allocate goodwill to one reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach based on the market capitalization of the reporting unit. Our annual impairment test will be performed as of January 1, 2012. At December 31, 2011, there were no indicators of a goodwill impairment.  Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The net carrying amounts of intangible assets are affected by currency translation adjustments.   As compared to the net carrying amounts at March 31, 2011, intangible assets at December 31, 2011, were approximately $4,485 million lower due to fluctuations in exchange rates used to value intangible assets carried in foreign currency.

Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Secured Notes

 

Revolving credit facility.  Simultaneously with the closing of the CHS Transactions and the sale of our senior secured notes, our wholly owned subsidiary, Thermon Industries, Inc., entered into a five-year, $40.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which we refer to as our revolving credit facility, of which up to $20.0 million is available to our Canadian subsidiary, subject to borrowing base availability. Availability of funds under our revolving credit facility is determined by a borrowing base equal to the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 60% of eligible inventory, plus 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible equipment, plus 50% of the fair market value of eligible owned real property. In no case shall availability under our revolving credit facility exceed the commitments thereunder. As of December 31, 2011, we had $30.4 million of capacity available under our revolving credit facility after taking into account the borrowing base, outstanding loan advances and letters of credit. In addition to our revolving credit facility, we have various short term revolving lines of credit available to us at our foreign affiliates.  At December 31, 2011 we had $9.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility with an interest rate of 5%.

 

The revolving credit facility will mature in 2015. Any borrowings on our revolving credit facility will incur interest expense that is variable in relation to the LIBOR rate. Borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars under the Canadian facility bear interest at a variable rate in relation to the bankers’ acceptance rate, as set forth in the revolving credit facility. In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, we are required to pay a 0.75% per annum commitment fee to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder and letter of credit fees equal to the LIBOR margin or the bankers’ acceptance rate, as applicable, on the undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit.

 

Senior secured notes.  As of December 31, 2011, we had $139.1 million of indebtedness outstanding under our senior secured notes with annual cash interest expense of approximately $13.2 million. Our senior secured notes mature on May 1, 2017 and accrue interest at a fixed rate of 9.500%. We pay interest in cash semi-annually on May and November 1 of each year.  Our senior

secured notes were issued in a Rule 144A exempt senior secured note offering to qualified institutional investors.  The proceeds were used to fund the purchase price for the CHS Transactions and related transaction costs.  In January 2011, we consummated an offer to exchange the old restricted senior secured notes for new, SEC-registered senior secured notes.

 

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, the Company made partial redemptions of the senior secured notes in the amount of $4,265 and $70,855, respectively.  In connection with these redemptions, the Company paid cash premiums on redemption of $229 and $3,195 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, respectively. In addition, the Company accelerated deferred debt amortization of $174 and $3,096 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, respectively.  These expenses were included in interest expense for the periods reported.

 

Guarantees; security.  The obligations under our revolving credit facility and our senior secured notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and each of its existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, other than Thermon Industries, Inc., the issuer of the senior secured notes. The obligations under our revolving credit facility are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of our and the guarantors’ assets, subject to certain exceptions, permitted liens and encumbrances reasonably acceptable to the agent under our revolving credit facility. Our senior secured notes and guarantees are also secured by liens on substantially all of our and the guarantors’ assets, subject to certain exceptions; provided, however, that the liens are contractually subordinated to the liens thereon that secure our revolving credit facility.

 

Restrictive covenants.  The revolving credit facility and senior secured notes contain various restrictive covenants that include restrictions or limitations on our ability to: incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified capital stock unless certain financial tests are satisfied; pay dividends, redeem subordinated debt or make other restricted payments; make certain investments or acquisitions; issue stock of subsidiaries; grant or permit certain liens on our assets; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all of our assets; incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting certain of our subsidiaries; transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of our subsidiaries; and change the business we conduct. However, all of these covenants are subject to customary exceptions.

Level 2 - Market Approach

 

 

Differences between carrying value and fair value are primarily due to instruments that provide fixed interest rates or contain fixed interest rate elements. Inherently, such instruments are subject to fluctuations in fair value due to subsequent movements in interest rates.

 

Foreign Currency Transaction Risk.

 

We transact business in various foreign currencies and have established a program that primarily utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risk associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Under this program, increases or decreases in our foreign currency exposures are offset by gains or losses on the forward contracts, to mitigate the possibility of foreign currency transaction gains or losses. These foreign currency exposures typically arise from intercompany transactions. Our forward contracts generally have terms of 90 days or less. We do not use forward contracts for trading purposes nor do we designate these forward contracts as hedging instruments pursuant to ASC 815. We adjust the carrying amount of all contracts to their fair value at the end of each reporting period and unrealized gains and losses are included in our results of operations for that period. These gains and losses largely offset gains and losses resulting from settlement of payments received from our foreign operations which are settled in U.S. dollars. All outstanding foreign currency forward contracts are marked to market at the end of the period with unrealized gains and losses included in miscellaneous expense. The balance sheet reflects unrealized gains within prepaid expenses and other current assets and unrealized losses within accrued liabilities. Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to currency fluctuations will depend on the currency exchange rates and other factors in effect as the contracts mature. As of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the notional amounts of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies were $14,019 and zero, respectively.

 

Net foreign exchange transaction losses included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations were $213 and $1,456 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, respectively.  For the three months ended December 31, 2010, the period from May 1 through December 31, 2010 and the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010, losses from foreign exchange transactions were $242, $566 and zero, respectively. The fair values of foreign currency forward contracts were not significant individually and approximated $59 as of December 31, 2011.

 

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

Financial assets and liabilities with the carrying amounts approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, current debt, accounts payable and other current liabilities.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

 

At December 31, 2011, the Company had in place letter of credit guarantees and performance bonds securing performance obligations of the Company. These arrangements totaled approximately $7,594.  Of this amount, $2,291 is secured by cash deposits at the Company’s financial institutions.  The remaining $5,303 represents a reduction of the available amount of the Company’s Short Term and Long Term Revolving Lines of Credit. Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, was approximately $2,291 and $2,133, respectively, of cash deposits pledged as collateral on performance bonds and letters of credit.

 

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business and believes that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses. Expenses related to litigation are included in operating income. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings would have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations, or cash flows. It is possible, however, that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results or cash flows in any one accounting period.

 

The Company has no outstanding legal matters outside of matters arising in the ordinary course of business, except as described below. We can give no assurances we will prevail in any of these matters.

Asbestos Litigation—Since 1999, we have been named as one of many defendants in 16 personal injury suits alleging exposure to asbestos from our products. None of the cases alleges premises liability. Two cases are currently pending. Insurers are defending us in one of the two lawsuits, and we expect that an insurer will defend us in the remaining matter. Of the concluded suits, there were seven cost of defense settlements and the remainder were dismissed without payment. There are no claims unrelated to asbestos exposure for which coverage has been sought under the policies that are providing coverage.

 

Indian Sales Tax and Customs Disputes—Our Indian subsidiary is currently disputing assessments of administrative sales tax and customs duties with Indian tax and customs authorities. In addition, we currently have a customs duty case before the Supreme Court in India, on appeal by custom authorities. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we concluded settlement of some of these matters whereby Thermon paid approximately $88.  We have reserved $287 in estimated settlement of the remaining matters.

 

Notice of Tax Dispute with the Canada Revenue AgencyOn June 13, 2011, we received notice from the Canada Revenue Agency (“Agency”) advising us that they disagree with the tax treatment we proposed with respect to certain asset transfers that was completed in August 2007 by our Predecessor owners.  As a result, the Agency proposes to disallow the interest deductions taken in Canada for tax years 2008, 2009 and 2010.   In total these interest deductions amounted to $11,640.  The statutory tax rate in Canada is approximately 25%, therefore the tax due that is requested by the Agency is approximately $2,910.  At December 31, 2011, we have not recorded a tax liability reserve related to this matter with the Agency, as a loss is not probable or estimable.  While we will vigorously contest this ruling, we expect that any liability, if any, will be covered under an indemnity agreement with the Predecessor owners.

 

Building Construction Accident - On July 27, 2011, during construction of the expansion of our manufacturing facility by a third party contractor in San Marcos, Texas, a section of the partially completed steel framework collapsed during erection.  One employee of the erection subcontractor to the general contractor was killed.  There were no Thermon employees on the construction site at the time of the incident.  We understand that both the general contractor and the steel erection subcontractor were issued citations by OSHA and have been sued in private actions brought by the decedent’s estate as a result of the accident.  The Company has not been fined or named in any lawsuits related to this matter.  Present estimates are that completion of the project will occur by the end of the 2012 fiscal year.  We do not expect significant adverse effects on our ability to produce and ship product as a result of the incident because we had accumulated inventory in preparation of the manufacturing downtime.

14. Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

On October 20, 2010, October 27, 2010 and March 1, 2011 our board of directors granted certain employees and directors options to purchase a combined total of 2,757,524 shares of our common stock under the Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan.  The exercise price for these options was $5.20 per share for the grants issued in October and $9.82 for the grants issued in March.  All options granted have a ten year term. The options are for the purchase of shares of common stock of Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. At the completion of the IPO, all outstanding options that were granted under our Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan became fully vested and exercisable.  Although the options were exercisable at the time of the IPO, the sale of the underlying option shares were restricted under lock up agreements with the IPO underwriters, which began to expire on October 31, 2011.  At the date of the IPO on May 5, 2011, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of $6,310 which represented all unamortized stock compensation expense related to the outstanding stock options under the Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan.

 

There were no stock compensation awards issued during the three months ended December 31, 2011.  On May 5, 2011, 117,600 shares, each with an exercise price of $12.00 per share, were granted under our 2011 Long-term Incentive Plan for which stock compensation expense was not accelerated.  They vest ratably over five years with 20% at each anniversary date of the grant.  We valued these options with a Black-Scholes model. Due to the fact that the common stock underlying the options was not publicly traded prior to the IPO, we based the expected volatility on a comparable group of companies. The expected term is based on the simplified method due to the lack of historical exercise data. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the Treasury bill coupon rate for U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity that approximates the expected term. We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, and accordingly we used a dividend yield of zero. Accordingly the assumptions we used included an estimated volatility of 45%, life of option of 6.66 years, risk free rate of 3.25% and no dividend assumption. The weighted-average estimated grant date fair value for employee stock options granted in fiscal 2012 was $5.99 per share. Excluding the $6,310 stock compensation expense associated with the acceleration of the pre-IPO options, the Company recorded stock compensation expense related to unvested awards for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 of $58 and $147, respectively.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued a total of 15,136 shares of restricted stock to members of its board of directors.  The restricted shares vest in one half increments over two years at the anniversary of the grant date. While the restricted shares are considered issued for purposes of total common shares outstanding at the time of the grant, they are subject to restrictions on transfer or sale until each anniversary vesting date. We valued the restricted shares at $11.89 per share,which was the market closing price at the date of the grant.  We will expense the value of the restricted shares as stock compensation expense ratably over the vesting period unless any portion is forfeited.

16. Income Taxes

 

Our anticipated annual effective tax rate of approximately 38.% has been applied to our consolidated pre-tax income for the nine month period ended December 31, 2011. Our anticipated annual effective tax rate was different than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, a difference in rates between the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, and certain permanent differences, such as nondeductible compensation expenses.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s provision for income taxes reflects an effective benefit rate of approximately 59.6%. The effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate due to deferred taxes released when the outstanding Canadian debt facility was retired. For the three month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded tax expense of $4,074 and $1,592 on pre-tax income of $11,007 and $4,601, respectively. In the nine month period ended December 31, 2011 and the eight month period ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded approximately $3,294 and $927 of income tax expense on pre-tax income (loss) of approximately $9,075 and $(10,033), respectively.

 

For the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010 of the Predecessor, an income tax benefit of approximately $17,434 was recorded on a pre-tax loss of $17,701. In connection with the CHS Transactions, the Canadian debt facility was repaid releasing a deferred tax liability of $14,945. Without the benefit of the deferred tax reversal related to the Canadian debt facility, the benefit rate amounted to approximately 14.1%. This benefit rate was increased by foreign tax credits and exchange losses associated with repatriated earnings and decreased by the amount of sellers’ expense stemming from the CHS Transactions that is anticipated to be non-deductible.

 

As of December 31, 2011, we have established a long-term liability for uncertain tax positions in the amount of $1,307 and have recognized no material adjustments to the liability recorded as of March 31, 2011.  All of our unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2011 would affect our effective income tax rate if recognized, though the Company does not expect to recognize any tax benefits in the next twelve months.  The Company recognizes related accrued interest and penalties as income tax expense and has accrued $102 for the nine months ending December 31, 2011, resulting in a cumulative total accrual of $163.

 

Tax years 2007 through 2010 generally remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.  The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns are under exam for the Predecessor’s tax years ending April 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, and as of December 31, 2011 no adjustments have been proposed. The Company’s Canadian federal income tax returns are under exam for the Predecessor’s tax years ending March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010. See Note 12, “Commitments and Contingencies”.

 

17. Geographic Information

 

We have defined our operating segment based on geographic regions. These regions share similar economic characteristics, similar product mix, similar customers and similar distribution methods. Accordingly, we have elected to aggregate these two geographic regions into a single operating segment. Revenue from the sale of our products which are similar in nature and revenue from construction and engineering are reflected as sales in our consolidated statement of operations.

 

Within its operating segment, the Company has provided further detail for those countries or regions that generate significant revenue and operating income.  For purposes of this note, revenue is attributed to individual countries on the basis of the physical location and jurisdiction of organization of the subsidiary that invoices the material and services.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Introduction and Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is provided as a supplement to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, changes in our financial condition and results of our operations. In this quarterly report, we refer to the three month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 as Interim 2012 and Interim 2011, respectively.  We refer to the nine month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 as Fiscal 2012 and Fiscal 2011, respectively. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included above.

 

The discussion in this section includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws in addition to historical information. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our industry, business strategy, plans, goals and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information. When used in this discussion, the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “will,” “future” and similar terms and phrases are intended to identify forward-looking statements in this quarterly report.

 

Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations regarding future events, results or outcomes. These expectations may or may not be realized. Some of these expectations may be based upon assumptions, data or judgments that prove to be incorrect. In addition, our business and operations involve numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could result in our expectations not being realized or otherwise materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These forward-looking statements include but are not limited to statements regarding: (i) our plans to strategically pursue emerging growth opportunities in diverse regions and across industry sectors; (ii) our plans to secure more new facility, or Greenfield, project bids; (iii) our ability to generate more facility maintenance, repair and operations or upgrades or expansions, or MRO/UE, revenue from our existing and future installed base; (iv) our ability to timely deliver backlog; (v) our ability to respond to new market developments and technological advances; (vi) our expectations regarding energy consumption and demand in the future and its impact on our future results of operations; (vii) our plans to develop strategic alliances with major customers and suppliers; (viii) our expectations that our revenues will continue to increase; (ix) our belief in the sufficiency of our cash flows to meet our needs for the next year; and (x) our expectations regarding the expansion of our principal manufacturing facility in San Marcos, Texas.

 

Actual events, results and outcomes may differ materially from our expectations due to a variety of factors. Although it is not possible to identify all of these factors, they include, among others, (i) general economic conditions and cyclicality in the markets we serve; (ii) future growth of energy and chemical processing capital investments; (iii) changes in relevant currency exchange rates; (iv) our ability to comply with the complex and dynamic system of laws and regulations applicable to international operations; (v) a material disruption at any of our manufacturing facilities; (vi) our dependence on subcontractors and suppliers; (vii) our ability to obtain standby letters of credit, bank guarantees or performance bonds required to bid on or secure certain customer contracts; (viii) competition from various other sources providing similar heat tracing products and services, or other alternative technologies, to customers; (ix) our ability to attract and retain qualified management and employees, particularly in our overseas markets; (x) our ability to continue to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our liquidity needs; (xi) the extent to which federal, state, local and foreign governmental regulation of energy, chemical processing and power generation products and services limits or prohibits the operation of our business; and (xii) other factors discussed in more detail under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on June 20, 2011.  Any one of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect our future results of operations and could influence whether any forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report ultimately prove to be accurate.

 

Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results and future performance may differ materially from those suggested in any forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update these statements unless we are required to do so under applicable securities laws.

 

Overview

 

We are one of the largest providers of highly engineered thermal solutions for process industries. For over 50 years, we have served a diverse base of thousands of customers around the world in attractive and growing markets including energy, chemical processing and power generation. We are a global leader and one of the few thermal solutions providers with a global footprint and a full suite of products and services required to deliver comprehensive solutions to complex projects. We serve our customers locally through a global network of sales and service professionals and distributors in more than 30 countries and through our four

manufacturing facilities on three continents. These global capabilities and longstanding relationships with some of the largest multinational energy, chemical processing, power and EPC companies in the world have enabled us to diversify our revenue streams and opportunistically access high growth markets worldwide. For the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011, 64% and 65%, respectively, of our revenues were generated outside of the United States.

 

Revenue.  Our revenues are derived from providing customers with a full suite of innovative and reliable heat tracing solutions, including electric and steam heat tracing, tubing bundles, control systems, design optimization, engineering services and installation services. Our sales are primarily to industrial customers for petroleum and chemical plants, oil and gas production facilities and power generation facilities. Demand for industrial heat tracing solutions falls into two categories: (i) new facility construction, which we refer to as Greenfield projects, and (ii) recurring maintenance, repair and operations and facility upgrades or expansions, which we refer to as MRO/UE. Greenfield construction projects often require comprehensive heat tracing solutions. We believe that Greenfield revenue consists of sales revenues by customer in excess of $1 million annually (excluding sales to agents, who typically resell our products to multiple customers), and typically includes most orders for projects related to facilities that are new or that are built independent of existing facilities. We refer to sales revenues by customer of less than $1 million annually, which we believe are typically derived from MRO/UE, as MRO/UE revenue. Based on our experience, we believe that $1 million in annual sales is an appropriate threshold for distinguishing between Greenfield revenue and MRO/UE revenue. However, we often sell our products to intermediaries or subcontract our services; accordingly, we have limited visibility into how our products or services may ultimately be used and can provide no assurance that our categorization may accurately reflect the sources of such revenue. Furthermore, our customers do not typically enter into long-term forward maintenance contracts with us. In any given year, certain of our smaller Greenfield projects may generate less than $1 million in annual sales, and certain of our larger plant expansions or upgrades may generate in excess of $1 million in annual sales, though we believe that such exceptions are few in number and insignificant to our overall results of operations.

 

Cost of sales.  Our cost of revenues includes primarily the cost of raw material items used in the manufacture of our products, cost of ancillary products that are sourced from external suppliers and construction labor cost. Additional costs of revenue include contract engineering cost directly associated with projects, direct labor cost, external sales commissions, and other costs associated with our manufacturing/fabrication operations. The other costs associated with our manufacturing/fabrication operations are mainly indirect production costs, including depreciation, indirect labor costs, and the costs of manufacturing support functions such as logistics and quality assurance. Key raw material costs include polymers, copper, stainless steel, insulating material, and other miscellaneous parts related to products manufactured or assembled as part of our heat tracing solutions. Historically, the costs of our primary raw materials have been stable and readily available from multiple suppliers, and we generally have been successful with passing along raw material cost increases to our customers. Therefore, increases in the cost of key raw materials of our products have not generally affected our gross margins. We cannot provide any assurance, however, that we may be able to pass along such cost increases to our customers in the future, and if we are unable to do so, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

Operating expenses.  Our marketing, general and administrative and engineering expenses are primarily comprised of compensation and related costs for sales, marketing, pre-sales engineering and administrative personnel, as well as other sales related expenses and other costs related to research and development, insurance, professional fees, the global integrated business information system, provisions for bad debts and warranty.

 

Key drivers affecting our results of operations.  Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by numerous factors, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 20, 2011 and elsewhere in this quarterly report and those described below:

 

·                  Timing of Greenfield projects.  Our results of operations in recent years have been impacted by the various construction phases of large Greenfield projects. On very large projects, we are typically designated as the heat tracing provider of choice by the project owner. We then engage with multiple contractors to address incorporating various heat tracing solutions throughout the overall project. Our largest Greenfield projects may generate revenue for several quarters. In the early stages of a Greenfield project, our revenues are typically realized from the provision of engineering services. In the middle stages, or the material requirements phase, we typically experience the greatest demand for our heat tracing cable, at which point our revenues tend to accelerate. Revenues tend to decrease gradually in the final stages of a project and are generally derived from installation services and demand for electrical panels and other miscellaneous electronic components used in the final installation of heat tracing cable, which we frequently outsource from third-party manufacturers. Therefore, we typically provide a mix of products and services during each phase of a Greenfield project, and our margins fluctuate accordingly.

·                  Cyclicality of end-users’ markets.  Demand for our products and services depends in large part upon the level of capital and maintenance expenditures of our customers and end users, in particular those in the energy, chemical processing and power generation industries, and firms that design and construct facilities for these industries. These customers’ expenditures historically have been cyclical in nature and vulnerable to economic downturns. Greenfield projects, and in particular large Greenfield projects (i.e., new facility construction projects generating in excess of $5 million in annual sales), have been a substantial source of revenue growth in recent years, and Greenfield revenues tend to be more cyclical than MRO/UE revenues. In recent years we have noted particular cyclicality in capital spending for new facilities in Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. A sustained decrease in capital and maintenance spending or in new facility construction by our customers could adversely affect the demand for our products and services and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

·                  Impact of product mix.  As a comprehensive provider of heat tracing solutions, we provide both our products and services to both Greenfield and MRO/UE customers. We tend to experience lower margins from our design optimization, engineering, installation and maintenance services than we do from sales of our heating cable, tubing bundle and control system products. We also tend to experience lower margins from our outsourced products, such as electrical switch gears and transformers, than we do from our manufactured products. Accordingly, our results of operations are impacted by our mix of products and services. For MRO/UE orders, the sale of our manufactured products typically represents a higher proportion of the overall revenues associated with such orders than the provision of our services. Greenfield projects, on the other hand, require a higher level of our services and include more product purchased from third parties than MRO/UE orders. Therefore, we typically realize higher margins from MRO/UE revenues than Greenfield revenues.

 

·                  Large and growing installed base.  Customers typically use the incumbent heat tracing provider for MRO/UE projects to avoid complications and compatibility problems associated with switching providers. Therefore, with the significant Greenfield activity we have experienced in recent years, our installed base has continued to grow, and we expect that such installed base will continue to generate ongoing high margin MRO/UE revenues. For the entire fiscal year 2011, MRO/UE sales comprised approximately 55% of our consolidated revenues.  In Interim 2012, MRO/UE comprised 65% of our revenue and in Fiscal 2012 MRO/UE comprised 63% of our revenue.

 

·                  Seasonality of MRO/UE revenues.  Revenues realized from MRO/UE orders tend to be less cyclical than Greenfield projects and more consistent quarter over quarter, although MRO/UE revenues are impacted by seasonal factors. MRO/UE revenues are typically highest during the third fiscal quarter, as most of our customers perform preventative maintenance prior to the winter season.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Our critical accounting policies are those that materially affect our financial statements and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management. Our most significant financial statement estimates include revenue recognition, allowances for bad debts, warranty reserves, inventory reserves and potential litigation claims and settlements.

 

Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the company in the future, actual results may be materially different from these estimates.

 

Revenue recognition.  Revenues from sales of products are recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

 

Construction contract revenues are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, primarily based on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated contract costs. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the period they are determined. Revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed are classified as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. Essentially all of such amounts are expected to be billed and collected within one year and are classified as current assets. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are classified as current liabilities. When reasonably dependable estimates cannot be made, construction contract revenues are recognized using the completed contract method.

Estimating allowances, specifically the allowance for doubtful accounts and the adjustment for excess and obsolete inventories.  We make estimates about the uncollectability of our accounts receivable. We specifically analyze accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.4 million and $1.5 million at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. We also write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and estimated fair value based on assumptions of future demand and market conditions. Our allowance for excess and obsolete inventories was $1.2 million and $1.7 million at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Our allowance for the warranty on our sold products and installations was $0.6 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Significant judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing these allowances. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our bad debt and inventory obsolescence if we made different judgments or utilized different estimates or if actual results varied materially from our estimates.

 

Valuation of long-lived, goodwill and other intangible assets.  Separable intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, transactions and market data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. GAAP requires that “push down” accounting be applied for wholly owned subsidiaries if the ownership is 95 percent or more. In connection with the CHS Transactions, goodwill has been allocated to our entities in the United States, Canada and Europe accordingly. As such, we have identified three reporting units: United States, Canada and Europe, for goodwill impairment testing. Factors considered important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

 

·                  significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;

 

·                  significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; and

 

·                  significant negative industry or economic trends.

 

When it is determined that the carrying value of intangibles, long-lived assets and related goodwill may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the measurement of any impairment is determined and the carrying value is reduced as appropriate. As of December 31, 2011, we had goodwill of approximately $116.4 million, including the impact of the CHS Transactions. There have been no impairments of goodwill during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011.

 

Business combinations.  We allocate the purchase price in connection with the CHS Transactions to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over these fair values is recorded as goodwill. We engage independent third-party appraisal firms to assist us in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. The significant purchased intangible assets recorded by us include trademarks, customer relationships, backlog and developed technology. The fair values assigned to the identified intangible assets are discussed in detail in Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, without limitation, future expected cash flows from customer relationships, acquired developed technologies and trademarks and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Other estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as more fully discussed in Note 7, “Goodwill”, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

Accounting for income taxes.  We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our financial position or our results of operations. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events are considered other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts which are more likely than not to be realized.

 

Loss contingencies.  We accrue for probable losses from contingencies including legal defense costs, on an undiscounted basis, when such costs are considered probable of being incurred and are reasonably estimable. We periodically evaluate available

 

42



Table of Contents

 

information, both internal and external, relative to such contingencies and adjust this accrual as necessary. Disclosure of a contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred. In determining whether a loss should be accrued, we evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact our financial position or our results of operations.

 

Stock based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating expected volatility. In addition, judgment is also required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be impacted. See Note 15, “Stock-Based Compensation Expense” to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included above in Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited) of this quarterly report for information on stock-based compensation expense, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.

 

Seasonality

 

Our quarterly revenues are impacted by the level of large Greenfield projects that may be occurring at any given time. Demand for our products depends in large part upon the level of capital and maintenance expenditures by many of our customers and end users, in particular those customers in the oil and gas, refining, and chemical processing markets. These customers’ expenditures historically have been cyclical in nature and vulnerable to economic downturns.

 

Our operating expenses remain relatively consistent (as a percentage of revenue) with some variability related to overall headcount of the company which increased slightly in the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011. Fluctuations in operating expense are partly due to changes in management’s estimates for items such as annual bonus attainment and reserves for bad debt.

 

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate based on the cyclical pattern of industries to which we provide heat tracing solutions and the seasonality of MRO/UE demand for our products. Most of our customers perform preventative maintenance prior to the winter season, thus in our experience making the months of October and November typically our largest for MRO/UE revenue. However, revenues from Greenfield projects are not seasonal and tend to be variable throughout the year, depending on the capital spending environment. Overall, seasonality has a minor effect on the company’s business.

(1)                                  During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we made redemption payments on our senior notes totaling $4.3 million.  These payments resulted in accelerated amortization of deferred debt costs as well as premium payments on bond principal.  We have presented the breakdown of these charges in order to provide guidance of our expected interest and debt amortization cost in future periods.

 

Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2010

 

Revenues. Revenues for Interim 2012 were $68.8 million, compared to $64.9 million for Interim 2011, an increase of $3.9 million or 6.0%.  The increase in revenue is attributable to revenue growth in both our Eastern and Western geographies.  Within our Western Hemisphere, revenue increased $1.3 million as compared to Interim 2011, as we benefited from a robust energy sector and activity in the power generation industry. Revenue in the Eastern Hemisphere increased by $2.1 million in Interim 2012 as compared to Interim 2011 also as a result of activity in the energy sector.  Revenue from Greenfield projects was lower in Interim 2012 representing 35% of total sales as compared to 52% in Interim 2011.  Our calculation of MRO/UE as a proportion of total revenue was approximately 65% during the three months ended December 31, 2011.  Greenfield sales in the prior year Interim 2011 were higher than our historical average due to fluctuations in our product mix and the timing of large Greenfield projects.

 

Gross profit and margin. Gross profit totaled $33.7 million in Interim 2012, compared to $29.6 million in Interim 2011, an increase of $4.1 million or 13.8%. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit increased to 48.9% in Interim 2012 from 45.6% in Interim 2011.  Our gross margins are impacted by the product mix between Greenfield projects and MRO/UE sales, with Greenfield sales

generating lower margins as compared to MRO/UE sales. The increase in gross margin in Interim 2012 is mostly due to a larger MRO/UE revenue contribution in Interim 2012 as compared to Interim 2011 when we experienced relatively higher Greenfield sales.

 

Marketing, general and administrative and engineeringMarketing, general and administrative and engineering costs (including stock compensation and management fee expenses) were $15.3 million for Interim 2012, compared to $14.7 million in Interim 2011, an increase of $0.6 million or 4.0%. Marketing, general and administrative and engineering costs in Interim 2012 were 22.2% of total revenue as compared to 22.6% in Interim 2011. We expect marketing, general and administrative and engineering expense to be 21% to 25% of our total revenue.  The increase of $0.6 million is attributable to increased compensation expense as we have added more personnel to support our growing business in Interim 2012.

 

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $2.8 million in Interim 2012, compared to $3.7 million in Interim 2011, a decrease of $0.9 million.  We expect that Interim 2012 is more representative of our estimated quarterly expense for amortization of intangible assets for the foreseeable future subject to foreign translation adjustments.  Interim 2011 was higher because it included the amortization of estimated backlog which was expensed over eight months, which was the estimated life for that intangible asset generated by the CHS Transactions.  The amortization related to backlog accounted for the entire $0.9 million difference between the comparative periods.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense, net was $4.4 million in Interim 2012, compared to $5.6 million in Interim 2011, a decrease of $1.2 million. In Interim 2012, we purchased $4.3 million in aggregate principal amount of our senior secured notes in a privately negotiated purchase transaction with an individual bondholder.  After the purchase, we cancelled the applicable notes.  In connection with the bond purchase in Interim 2012, we incurred deferred debt cost acceleration of $0.2 million and other prepayment costs of $0.2 million. Interest expense on outstanding principal balances was $3.9 million and $5.1 million for Interim 2012 and Interim 2011, respectively.  The decrease in interest expense is the result of a total of $70.9 million of our senior secured noted being redeemed, repurchased and retired since March 31, 2011.

 

Miscellaneous expense. Other expense was $0.2 million in Interim 2012, compared to miscellaneous expense of $1.0 million in Interim 2011 (including fees and expenses related to the CHS Transactions). The $0.2 million expense in Interim 2012 is associated with a foreign exchange loss.  In Interim 2011 we incurred $0.8 million of fees and expenses related to the CHS Transactions.

 

Income taxes.  We reported an income tax expense of $4.1 million in Interim 2012, compared to a $1.6 million tax expense in Interim 2011, an increase of $2.5 million. The effective tax rates were 37.0% in Interim 2012 and 34.6% in Interim 2011. Our anticipated annual effective tax rate of approximately 38.0% has been applied to our consolidated pre-tax income in calculating the amount of the income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011. This anticipated annual tax rate is established by estimating anticipated tax rates in each of the countries where we earn taxable income as adjusted for known differences, our expectations of earnings repatriations as well as our ability to apply any jurisdictional tax losses to prior or future periods.  See Note 17, “Income Taxes”, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2011, included elsewhere in this quarterly report, for further detail on income taxes.

 

Net income (loss). Net income was $6.9 million in Interim 2012 as compared to $3.0 million in Interim 2011, an increase of $3.9 million. Gross profit contributed an additional $4.1 million to net income as compared to Interim 2011, reduced amortization of intangible assets contributed $0.9 million and reduced interest expense contributed $1.2 million. These amounts were offset by additional tax expense of $2.5 million and other offsetting expense amounts such as marketing, general and administrative and engineering expense.

(1)          The closing of the CHS Transactions on April 30, 2010 established a new basis of accounting that primarily affected inventory, intangible assets, goodwill, taxes, debt and equity. This resulted in additional amortization expense, interest expense and tax expense for the period from May 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 (“Successor”) as compared to the period from April 1, 2010 through April 30, 2010 (“Predecessor”). Except for purchase accounting adjustments, the results for the two combined periods are comparable. Therefore, we believe that combining the two periods into a single period for comparative purposes gives the most clarity for the users of this financial information. Please refer to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 appearing above for a separate presentation of the results for the Predecessor and Successor periods in accordance with GAAP.

(2)                                 In the combined periods ended December 31, 2010, there was a non-cash negative impact of $7.5 million to cost of sales and, consequently, gross profit due to a purchase accounting adjustment related to the CHS Transactions.

 

(3)                                  During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we made redemption payments on our senior notes totaling $70.9 million.  These payments resulted in accelerated amortization of deferred debt costs as well as premium payments on bond principal.  The combined periods ended December 31, 2010, also included similar accelerated debt cost related to the payment of debt by the Predecessor. We have presented the breakdown of these charges in order to provide guidance of our expected interest and debt amortization cost in future periods.

 

(4)                                  Fees and expenses related to the CHS Transactions are combined herein to include success fees on CHS Transactions of $7.7 million along with $13.9 million of other transaction expenses that are reported as part of miscellaneous expense on our unaudited statement of operations.

 

Nine Months Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2010 (Predecessor/Successor Combined) (Non-GAAP)

 

The closing of the CHS Transactions on April 30, 2010 established a new basis of accounting that primarily affected inventory, intangible assets, goodwill, taxes, debt and equity. This resulted in additional amortization expense, interest expense and tax expense for the period from May 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 (“Successor”) as compared to the period from April 1, 2010 through April 30, 2010 (“Predecessor”). Except for purchase accounting adjustments, the results for the two combined periods are comparable. Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 appearing above include a separate presentation of the results for the Predecessor and Successor periods.  We have presented a discussion of the results for these combined periods because it provides an easier-to-read discussion of the results of operations and provides the investor with information from which to analyze our financial results in a manner that is consistent with the way management reviews and analyzes our results of operations. In addition, the discussion of the combined results provides investors with the most meaningful comparison between our results for prior and future periods.

 

Revenues. Revenues for Fiscal 2012 were $201.5 million, compared to $179.0 million for Fiscal 2011, an increase of $22.5 million or 12.6%.  The increase in revenue is attributable to revenue growth within all geographic regions as well as growth in both MRO/UE and Greenfield projects.  As a percentage of revenue, Greenfield projects were lower in Fiscal 2012 representing 37% of total sales as compared to 53% in Fiscal 2011.  Our calculation of MRO/UE as a proportion of total revenue was approximately 63% during the nine months ended December 31, 2011.  This compares to 47% for fiscal year 2011.  We expect that revenue contributed from large Greenfield projects will fluctuate from period to period as construction schedules are inherently difficult to

Table of Contents

 

estimate.  While our percentage of revenue from MRO/UE during Fiscal 2012 was comparable to historical averages, we expect MRO/UE percentage to fluctuate as levels of large projects increase or decrease.

 

Gross profit and margin. Gross profit totaled $97.6 million in Fiscal 2012, compared to $73.7 million in Fiscal 2011, an increase of $23.9 million or 32.4%. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit increased to 48.5% in Fiscal 2012 from 41.2% in Fiscal 2011.  In Fiscal 2011 there was a non-cash $7.5 million negative impact to gross profit due to a purchase accounting adjustment related to the CHS Transactions. Under purchase accounting, inventories that were carried at lower of cost or market are stepped up to fair value, which eliminates gross profit in the period in which the units are sold. Excluding the purchase accounting adjustment, gross profit percentage would have been 45.0%. Our gross margins are impacted by the product mix between Greenfield projects and MRO/UE sales, with Greenfield sales generating lower margins as compared to MRO/UE sales. The increase in gross margin in Fiscal 2012 is mostly due to a larger MRO/UE revenue contribution in Fiscal 2012 as compared to Fiscal 2011.

 

Marketing, general and administrative and engineering.  Marketing, general and administrative and engineering costs (including stock compensation and management fee expense) were $59.6 million for Fiscal 2012, compared to $41.5 million in Fiscal 2011, an increase of $18.1 million or 43.6%. Included in the Fiscal 2012 amount are stock compensation charges of $6.5 million for the acceleration of options outstanding under our Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan at the IPO date and $8.1 million in termination and management fees paid to our private equity sponsors in consideration for their agreement to terminate their management contract with us.  Excluding these charges, marketing, general and administrative and engineering costs would have been $45.0 million in Fiscal 2012 or 22.3% of total revenue as compared to 21.9% in Fiscal 2011.  The actual comparative increase of $5.7 million (excluding stock compensation and termination fees) is almost entirely related to an increase in payroll expenses to address personnel needs to meet growing customer demand.

 

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $8.6 million in Fiscal 2012, compared to $15.3 million in Fiscal 2011, a decrease of $6.7 million.  We expect that Fiscal 2012 is more representative of our estimated expense for amortization of intangible assets for the foreseeable future subject to foreign translation adjustments.  Fiscal 2011 was higher because it included the amortization of estimated backlog which was expensed over five months, which was the estimated life for that intangible asset generated by the CHS Transactions.  The amortization related to backlog accounted for the entire $6.7 million difference between the comparative periods.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense, net was $19.0 million in Fiscal 2012, compared to $23.3 million in Fiscal 2011, a decrease of $4.3 million. Both periods include charges for the redemption or prepayment of debt.  In Fiscal 2012, we made redemptions on our senior notes totaling $70.9 million and in Fiscal 2011 our Predecessor repaid $109 million of debt in connection with the completion of the CHS Transactions which occurred April 30, 2010.  As a result of these repayments, deferred debt cost acceleration and other prepayment costs totaled $6.3 million and $4.9 million for Fiscal 2012 and Fiscal 2011, respectively.  Interest expense on outstanding principal was $11.9 million and $17.4 million for Fiscal 2012 and Fiscal 2011, respectively.

 

Miscellaneous expense. Other expense was $1.4 million in Fiscal 2012, compared to miscellaneous expense of $21.3 million in Fiscal 2011.  The $1.4 million expense in Fiscal 2012 is associated with a foreign exchange loss we incurred on certain accounts receivable balances.  In Fiscal 2011 we incurred $21.6 million of fees and expenses related to the CHS Transactions.  This included $7.7 million of success fees paid to the current and former owners of Thermon plus $13.9 million of transactional fees related to the acquisition by our private equity sponsors on April 30, 2010.

 

Income taxes.  We reported an income tax expense of $3.3 million in Fiscal 2012, compared to a $16.5 million tax benefit in Fiscal 2011, a change of $19.8 million. The effective tax rates were 36.3% in Fiscal 2012 and a benefit rate of 59.5% in Fiscal 2011. Our anticipated annual effective tax rate of approximately 38.0% has been applied to our consolidated pre-tax loss in calculating the amount of the income tax benefit for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. This anticipated annual tax rate is established by estimating anticipated tax rates in each of the countries where we earn taxable income as adjusted for known differences, our expectations of earnings repatriations as well as our ability to apply any jurisdictional tax losses to prior or future periods.  The effective tax rate for Fiscal 2011 was significantly impacted by the CHS Transactions.  Permanent items recorded in Fiscal 2011 included non-deductible portions of the CHS Transactions costs as well a recorded valuation allowance on foreign tax carry forwards.  See Note 17, “Income Taxes”, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, included elsewhere in this quarterly report, for further detail on income taxes.

 

Net income( loss). Net income was $5.8 million in Fiscal 2012 as compared to a net loss of ($11.2) million in Fiscal 2011, an increase of net income by $17.0 million. Gross profit contributed an additional $23.9 million to net income as compared to Fiscal 2011.  Also, Fiscal 2011 included CHS Transaction expenses of $21.6 million.  These amounts were offset by increases in marketing, general and administrative expenses of $18.1 million including IPO-related expenses. The IPO expenses include stock compensation charges of $6.5 million for the acceleration of options and $8.1 million in termination and management fees paid to our private equity sponsors.

The revolving lines of credit mature on April 29, 2015.  At December 31, 2011, we borrowed $9.0 million under the revolving line of credit to support our working capital needs. It is management’s intent, however to repay amounts drawn on the revolving lines of credit within 90 days of incurrence. Our interest obligation on borrowings under our revolving line of credit is presented as if principal at December 31, 2011 remained outstanding until maturity.

(5)

 

Represents the future annual service fees associated with certain information technology service agreements with several vendors.

 

Contingencies.  We are involved in various legal and administrative proceedings and disputes that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business. Some of these proceedings may result in fines, penalties or judgments being assessed against us, which, from time to time, may adversely affect our financial results. For a discussion of contingencies that may adversely affect our results of operations, see Note 12, “Commitments and Contingencies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this quarterly report. We have considered these proceedings and disputes in determining the necessity of any reserves for losses that are probable and reasonably estimable. Our recorded reserves are based on estimates developed with consideration given to the potential merits of claims or quantification of any performance obligations. In doing so, we take into account our history of claims, the limitations of any insurance coverage, advice from outside counsel, the possible range of outcomes to such claims and obligations and their associated financial impact (if known and reasonably estimable), and management’s strategy with regard to the settlement or defense of such claims and obligations (see also “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” set forth above in this Item 2).  While the ultimate outcome of those claims, lawsuits or performance obligations cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe, based on our understanding of the facts of these claims and performance obligations, that adequate provisions have been recorded in the accounts where required. In addition, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings would have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations, or cash flows. It is possible, however, that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results or cash flows in any one accounting period.

 

On July 27, 2011, during construction of the expansion of our manufacturing facility in San Marcos, Texas, a section of the partially completed steel framework collapsed.  One employee of the construction subcontractor was killed and another was injured during the incident.  There were no Thermon employees on the construction site at the time of the incident.  The cause of the incident is under investigation by OSHA.

 

On June 13, 2011, we received notice from the Canada Revenue Agency (“Agency”) advising us that they disagree with the tax treatment we proposed with respect to certain asset transfers that were completed in August 2007 by our Predecessor owners.  As a result, the Agency proposes to disallow the interest deductions taken in Canada for tax years 2008, 2009 and 2010.  In total these interest deductions amounted to $11.6 million.  The statutory tax rate in Canada is approximately 25%, therefore the tax due that is requested by the Agency is approximately $2.9 million.  At December 31, 2011, we have not recorded a tax liability reserve due to its

early stages of this matter with the Agency as a loss is not probable or estimable.  While we will vigorously contest this ruling, we expect that any liability, if any, will be covered under an indemnity agreement with the Predecessor owners.

 

Other than the aforementioned items, there are no other gains or losses or litigation settlements that are not provided for in the accounts.

 

To bid on or secure certain contracts, we are required at times to provide a performance guaranty to our customers in the form of a surety bond, standby letter of credit or foreign bank guaranty. On December 31, 2011, we had in place standby letters of credit, bank guarantees and performance bonds totaling $7.6 million to back our various customer contracts. As of December 31, 2011, we also had in place a $0.3 million letter of credit as collateral for the revolving facility for our subsidiary in Japan. Our Indian subsidiary also has $2.6 million in customs bonds outstanding.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and funds available under our revolving credit facility and other revolving lines of credit. Our primary liquidity needs are to finance our working capital, capital expenditures and debt service needs.

 

Cash and cash equivalents.  At December 31, 2011, we had $19.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. We maintain cash and cash equivalents at various financial institutions located in many countries throughout the world. Approximately $7.7 million, or 39%, of these amounts were held in domestic accounts with various institutions and approximately $12.1 million, or 61%, of these amounts were held in accounts outside of the United States with various financial institutions.

 

Revolving credit facility and senior secured notes.

 

See Note 11, “Long-Term Debt—Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Secured Notes” to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included above in Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited) of this quarterly report for information on our revolving credit facility and senior secured notes, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.  At December 31, 2011, we borrowed $9.0 million under the revolving line of credit to support our working capital needs as we grow the business, including funding investments in inventory and capital expenditures to expand manufacturing capacity. From time to time, we may choose to utilize our revolving line of credit to fund uses such as these despite having cash available within our consolidated group in light of the cost, timing and other business considerations involved with repatriating funds from certain of our foreign subsidiaries (see “— Repatriation Considerations” below).  While these borrowings mature on April 29, 2015, it is our intent to repay these amounts within 90 days of incurrence. After accounting for amounts already drawn, at December 31, 2011 we had $30.4 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

On January 31, 2012, we repaid $4.5 million out of the $9.0 million that was outstanding on December 31, 2011.

 

On October 19, 2011, we purchased $4.3 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 9.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 in a privately negotiated purchase transaction with an individual bondholder at premium of $105.37% of the principal amount or $0.2 million.  After the purchase, the Company cancelled the applicable notes.

 

Repatriation considerations.  A substantial portion of our cash flows are generated by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. In general, when an entity in a foreign jurisdiction repatriates cash to the United States, the amount of such cash is treated as a dividend taxable at current U.S. tax rates. Accordingly, upon the distribution of cash to us from our non-U.S. subsidiaries, we will be subject to U.S. income taxes. Although foreign tax credits may be available to reduce the amount of the additional tax liability, these credits may be limited based on our tax attributes.

 

Since the issuance of our senior secured notes on April 30, 2010, we have been able to meet our regular debt service obligations through cash generated through our U.S. operations, and it is our expectation that we will continue to be able to do so in the future. In fiscal 2011 we did, however, repatriate $33.4 million in the form of incremental dividends from our non-U.S. subsidiaries in order to complete redemptions of our outstanding senior secured notes which occurred on April 29, 2011.  In order to repay our senior secured notes on or before their maturity date, we expect to make further repatriations of our foreign earnings. In addition, our ability to repatriate cash from our foreign subsidiaries may be subject to legal, contractual or other restrictions and other business considerations.

 

Future capital requirements.  Based on our current level of operations, we believe that cash flow from operations and available cash, together with available borrowings under our revolving credit facility, will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the next 12 months. We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future

borrowing will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness, including the senior secured notes or our revolving credit facility, or to fund our other liquidity needs. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a change of control, we could be required to repay or refinance our indebtedness. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including the senior secured notes or our revolving credit facility, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

 

In fiscal 2012, we anticipate completing the construction of the expansion of our manufacturing facility in San Marcos, Texas, which we expect will significantly increase our production capacity at that location. We estimate that approximately $6.2 million in capital expenditures will be incurred during fiscal 2012 in connection with such expansion. We expect to fund the facility expansion from cash on hand and do not expect to finance the construction.

 

With regard to the aforementioned building frame collapse during construction on July 27, 2011, we are in the process of determining to what extent this may increase our planned expenditures for the building.  At this time, we do not expect to incur any significant incremental construction costs related to the July 27, 2011 incident.

 

Nine Months Ended December 31, 2011 (“Fiscal 2012”) Compared to the Nine months Ended December 31, 2010 (Predecessor/Successor Combined) (“Fiscal 2011”) (Non-GAAP)

 

Net cash (used by) provided by operating activities totaled $(6.5) million for Fiscal 2012 period, compared to $19.7 million provided for Fiscal 2011. Net income and net loss were $5.8 and $(11.2) in Fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. Non-cash reconciling items such as depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt costs, stock compensation expense and changes in deferred taxes amounted to a source of cash of $21.0 million $13.3 million in Fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Both periods reflected uses of cash through the increase of accounts receivable and inventory.  The increase in these items is a result of the general growth in the business.  The increased use of cash for operations in Fiscal 2012 is primarily attributable to the reduction of liabilities.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we made interest payments of $22.0 million (including premiums paid in redemptions of our senior secured notes), cash tax payments of $15.1 million and reduced our liability on customer prepayments by $5.8 million through the delivery of products.  The use of cash in Fiscal 2011 was driven primarily by the operating loss of $(11.2) million which includes $21.6 million in costs related to the CHS Transactions.

 

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $6.8 million for Fiscal 2012 compared to $316.9 million for Fiscal 2011. Fiscal 2011 includes the purchase price of the CHS Transactions totaling $314.3 million.  Capital expenditures were $6.2 million in Fiscal 2012 and $1.2 million in Fiscal 2011

 

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities totaled $(17.7) million used in Fiscal 2012, compared to $304.6 million provided by financing activities for Fiscal 2011. In Fiscal 2012, we received net proceeds on our IPO of $48.5 million.  From a combination of IPO proceeds and cash on hand, we redeemed $70.9 million in aggregate principal of our senior secured notes for a use of cash totaling $74.7 million including cash premiums paid. Financing activities in Fiscal 2011 consisted of proceeds from the issuance of $210.0 million under the senior secured notes, $129.5 million received from equity investments in us and offset by $15.5 million used for the payment of deferred debt costs.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2011, the consolidated statements of cash flows for TGH and THC are substantially the same. We discuss the cash used in operating activities as it relates to TGH. However, THC had cash used by financing activities of $17.5 million or $250,000 more than TGH. This is the result of cash contributed by TGH to THC in addition to the IPO proceeds in Fiscal 2012.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2011, we do not have any off balance sheet arrangements. In addition, we do not have any interest in entities referred to as variable interest entities, which includes special purposes entities and other structured finance entities.

 

Effect of Inflation

 

While inflationary increases in certain input costs, such as wages, have an impact on our operating results, inflation has had minimal net impact on our operating results during the last three years, as overall inflation has been offset by increased selling prices and cost reduction actions. We cannot assure you, however, that we will not be affected by general inflation in the future.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included above in Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited) of this quarterly report for information on recent accounting pronouncements, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Our primary market risk exposures include the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices.

 

Foreign currency risk relating to operations.  We transact business globally and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign exchange rates. Approximately 65% of our Fiscal 2012 consolidated revenue was generated by sales from our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries generally sell their products and services in the local currency, but obtain a significant amount of their products from our facilities located in another country, primarily the United States, Canada or Europe. Significant changes in the relevant exchange rates could adversely affect our margins on foreign sales of products. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries incur most of their expenses (other than intercompany expenses) in their local functional currency. These currencies include the Canadian Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Russian Ruble, Australian Dollar, South Korean Won, Chinese Renminbi, Indian Rupee, Mexican Peso, and Japanese Yen.

 

During Fiscal 2012, our largest exposures to foreign exchange rates consisted primarily of the Canadian Dollar and the Euro against the U.S. Dollar. The market risk related to the foreign currency exchange rates is measured by estimating the potential impact of a 10% change in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates. The rates used to perform this analysis were based on a weighted average of the market rates in effect during the relevant period. A 10% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Canadian Dollar would result in a net decrease in net income of $0.8 million for Fiscal 2012. Conversely, a 10% depreciation of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Canadian Dollar would result in a net increase in net income of $0.7 million for Fiscal 2012. A 10% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro would result in a net decrease in net income of $0.3 million for Fiscal 2012. Conversely, a 10% depreciation of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro would result in a net increase in net income of $0.3 million for Fiscal 2012.

 

The geographic areas outside the United States in which we operate are generally not considered to be highly inflationary. Nonetheless, these foreign operations are sensitive to fluctuations in currency exchange rates arising from, among other things, certain intercompany transactions that are generally denominated in U.S. Dollars rather than their respective functional currencies. The impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for Fiscal 2012 was a $1.5 million loss compared to a loss of $0.6 million in Fiscal 2011.

 

As of December 31, 2011, we had approximately $14.0 million in notional forward contracts to purchase foreign currencies on a pre-determined future date.  These forward contracts were in place to offset in part the foreign currency exchange risk to intercompany payables due from our foreign operations to be settled in U.S. dollars.  See Note 11, “Long Term Debt” to our unaudited interim condensed financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included above in Item 1. Financial Statements Unaudited of this quarterly report for further information regarding our foreign currency forward contracts.

 

In order to meet our global cash management needs, we often transfer cash between the U.S. and foreign entities and on occasion between foreign entities. In addition, our debt service requirements are primarily in U.S. Dollars and a substantial portion of our cash flow is generated in foreign currencies, and we may need to repatriate cash to the United States in order to meet our U.S. debt service obligations, including on our senior secured notes. These transfers of cash expose us to currency exchange rate risks, and significant changes in the value of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar could limit our ability to meet our debt obligations and impair our financial condition.

 

Because our consolidated financial results are reported in U.S. Dollars, and we generate a substantial amount of our sales and earnings in other currencies, the translation of those results into U.S. Dollars can result in a significant decrease in the amount of those sales and earnings. In addition, fluctuations in currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar may make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of our reported results of operations.

 

At each balance sheet date, we translate our assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency to U.S. dollars.  The balances of our foreign equity accounts are translated at their historical value.  The difference between the current rates and the historical rates are posted to our currency translation account and reflected in the shareholders’equity section of our balance sheet. The unrealized effect of foreign currency translation was a loss of $11.0 million in Fiscal 2012, compared to a gain of $1.2 million in Fiscal 2011. Currency translation gains or losses are reported as part of comprehensive income or loss in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Interest rate risk and foreign currency risk relating to debt.  The interest rate for the senior secured notes is fixed at 9.500% while any borrowings on our revolving credit facility will incur interest expense that is variable in relation to the LIBOR rate. At December 31, 2011, the interest rate on amounts outstanding on our revolving credit facility was 5.0%. Based on our outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2011, a one percent increase or decrease in our interest rate would result in a net increase or decrease, respectively, of our annual interest expense of approximately $90,000.

Table of Contents

 

The senior secured notes are denominated and payable in the U.S. Dollar. Approximately 65% of our consolidated revenue was generated in foreign currency in Fiscal 2012; therefore, we expect to have to repatriate our cash earnings in foreign locations in order to make principal reductions on the senior secured notes. In the event that the U.S. Dollar strengthens relative to the foreign currencies we are repatriating to make principal repayments, we may incur exchange rate losses that are larger than those that we have reported historically.

 

Commodity price risk.  We use various commodity-based raw materials in our manufacturing processes. Generally, we acquire such components at market prices and do not typically enter into long-term purchase commitments with suppliers or hedging instruments to mitigate commodity price risk. As a result, we are subject to market risks related to changes in commodity prices and supplies of key components of our products. Historically, the costs of our primary raw materials have been stable and readily available from multiple suppliers. Typically, we have been able to pass on raw material cost increases to our customers. We cannot provide any assurance, however, that we may be able to pass along such cost increases to our customers or source sufficient amounts of key components on commercially reasonable terms or at all in the future, and if we are unable to do so, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

Item 4 Controls and Procedures

 

Controls and Procedures—TGH

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of TGH’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, TGH has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, TGH’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to TGH’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in TGH’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, TGH’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Controls and Procedures—THC

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of THC’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, THC has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, THC’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to THC’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in THC’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, THC’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system reflects resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of error or fraud, if any, within our company have been or will be detected.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1 — Legal Proceedings

 

The Company has no outstanding legal matters outside of matters arising in the ordinary course of business, except as described below.

 

Asbestos Litigation—Since 1999, we have been named as one of many defendants in 16 personal injury suits alleging exposure to asbestos from our products. None of the cases alleges premises liability. Two cases are currently pending. Insurers are defending us in one of the two lawsuits, and we expect that an insurer will defend us in the remaining matter. Of the concluded suits, there were five cost of defense settlements and the remainder were dismissed without payment. There are no claims unrelated to asbestos exposure for which coverage has been sought under the policies that are providing coverage.

 

We can give no assurances we will prevail in any of these matters.

 

Item 1A — Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes in the status of our risk factors from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 with the SEC on June 20, 2011.

 

Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
