WABASH NATIONAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS & BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Wabash National Corporation (the “Company,” “Wabash,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) was founded in 1985 in Lafayette, Indiana as a dry van trailer manufacturer. The Company designs and manufactures a diverse range of products, including dry freight and refrigerated trailers, platform trailers, bulk tank trailers, dry and refrigerated truck bodies, structural composite panels and products, trailer aerodynamic solutions, and specialty food grade processing equipment. This diversification has been achieved through acquisitions, organic growth, and product innovation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company, its results of operations, and its cash flows. The Company consolidates into its financial statements the accounts of the Company and any partially owned subsidiary it has the ability to control (see Note 5). The Company does not have any subsidiaries it consolidates based solely on the power to direct the activities and significant participation in the entity’s expected results that would not otherwise be consolidated based on control through voting interests. Further, its affiliates are businesses established and maintained in connection with its operating strategy and are not special purposes entities. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides practical expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. These amendments are not applicable to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. ASU No. 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied to contract modifications and hedging relationships from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. The Company will adopt this standard when LIBOR is discontinued. The Company is evaluating the impact the new standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures but does not anticipate a material impact.
3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied; this occurs with the transfer of control of our products and replacement parts or throughout the completion of service work. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer and excludes all taxes collected from the customer. Shipping and handling fees are included in Net sales and the associated costs included in Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For shipping and handling costs that take place after the transfer of control, the Company applies the practical expedient and treats such costs as a fulfillment cost. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. For performance obligations satisfied over time, which include certain equipment-related sales within our Parts & Services reportable segment that have no alternative use and contain an enforceable right to payment, as well as service work whereby the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided, the Company recognizes revenue on the basis of the Company’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of these performance obligations, measured by actual total cost incurred to the total estimated costs for each project. Total revenue recognized over time was not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
9
The Company has identified three separate and distinct performance obligations: (1) the sale of a trailer or equipment, (2) the sale of replacement parts, and (3) service work. For trailer, truck body, equipment, and replacement part sales, control is transferred and revenue is recognized from the sale upon shipment to or pick up by the customer in accordance with the contract terms. The Company does not have any material extended payment terms as payment is received shortly after the point of sale. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. The Company does have customers who pay for the product prior to the transfer of control which is recorded as customer deposits in Other accrued liabilities as shown in Note 11. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and transfers control of the product.
4. GOODWILL & OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Segment Realignment
As further described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, beginning in September 2021 the Company realigned its operating and reportable segments. Based on these changes, the Company has established two operating and reportable segments: Transportation Solutions (“TS”) and Parts & Services (“P&S”). These operating and reportable segments have also been determined to be the applicable reporting units for purposes of goodwill assignment and evaluation.
As of June 30, 2022, goodwill allocated to the TS and P&S segments was approximately $120.5 million and $67.9 million, respectively. The Company considered whether there were any indicators of impairment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and concluded there were none.
Extract Technology® Divestiture
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company sold its Extract Technology® (“Extract”) business that manufactured stainless steel isolators and downflow booths, as well as custom-fabricated equipment, including workstations and drum booths for the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, biotech, and nuclear end markets. Prior to the divestiture, Extract was an operating unit within the Parts & Services reporting unit. In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, as part of the sale the Company allocated $11.1 million of goodwill based upon the relative fair value of the Extract operating unit compared to the reporting unit as a whole. This goodwill was included in the carrying value of the disposed assets and the resulting net gain recognized in connection with the sale. Prior to and subsequent to the divestiture, the Company performed an impairment assessment for the reporting unit and concluded the fair value of the reporting unit continued to exceed the carrying value.
10
The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill from December 31, 2020 through the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

5. NONCONTROLLING INTEREST AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (“VIEs”)
VIEs & Consolidation
The Company consolidates those entities in which it has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either the variable interest model (the “VIE model”) or the voting interest model (the “VOE model”).
VIEs are entities that, by design, either (i) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (ii) have equity investors that do not have the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses, or do not have the right to receive the residual returns of the entity.
The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE through its interest in the VIE.
To assess whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, the Company considers all the facts and circumstances, including its role in establishing the VIE and its ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and identifying which party, if any, has power over those activities. In general, the parties that make the most significant decisions affecting the VIE (typically management and representation on the board of directors as well as control of the overall strategic direction of the entity) and have the right to unilaterally remove those decision-makers are deemed to have the power to direct the activities of a VIE.
11
To assess whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company considers all of its economic interests, which primarily include the obligation to absorb losses or fund expenditures or losses (if needed), that are deemed to be variable interests in the VIE. This assessment requires the Company to apply judgment in determining whether these interests, in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE. Factors considered in assessing the significance include: the design of the VIE, including its capitalization structure; subordination of interests; payment priority; relative share of interests held across various classes within the VIE’s capital structure; and the reasons why the interests are held by the Company.
At the VIE’s inception, the Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary and if the VIE should be consolidated based on the facts and circumstances. The Company then performs on-going reassessments of the VIE based on reconsideration events and reevaluates whether a change to the consolidation conclusion is required each reporting period. If the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a VIE, the Company accounts for the investment or other variable interests in a VIE in accordance with the applicable GAAP.
Entities that do not qualify as a VIE are assessed for consolidation under the VOE model. Under the VOE model, the Company consolidates the entity if it determines that it, directly or indirectly, has greater than 50% of the voting shares and that other equity holders do not have substantive voting, participating or liquidation rights. The Company has no entities consolidated under the VOE model.
At each reporting period, the Company reassesses whether it remains the primary beneficiary for VIEs consolidated under the VIE model.
Wabash Parts LLC
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company unified and expanded its parts and distribution capabilities by executing an agreement with a partner to create a new legal entity (Wabash Parts LLC, “WP”) to operate a parts and services distribution platform. The Company holds 50% ownership in WP while its partner holds the remaining 50%. Initial capital contributions were insignificant. WP has no debt or other financial obligations other than typical operating expenses and costs. Creditors of WP do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company. The operating agreement requires excess cash distributions, as defined in the agreement, no later than 30 days after the end of the second and fourth quarters of each year in proportion to the respective ownership interests.
The operating agreement provides the Company’s partner with a put right that would require the Company to purchase its partner’s interest in WP. Upon receiving notice that the Company’s partner has exercised the put right, a valuation will occur as stipulated within the operating agreement. Such put right has not been exercised by the Company’s partner and is therefore not mandatorily redeemable as of the current period end date, however the existence of the put right that is beyond the Company’s control requires the noncontrolling interest to be presented in the temporary equity section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Because the entity does not have sufficient equity at risk to permit it to carry on its activities without additional financial support, the Company concluded that WP is a VIE. The Company has the power to direct the activities of WP through majority representation on the Board of Directors as well as control related to the management and overall strategic direction of the entity. In addition, the Company has the obligation to absorb the benefits and losses of WP that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company also has a requirement to provide funding to the entity if needed. Given the facts and circumstances specific to WP, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary and, as such, is required to consolidate the entity. WP’s results of operations are included in the Parts & Services operating and reportable segment. Through June 30, 2022, the Company did not provide financial or other support to this VIE that it was not contractually obligated to provide. As of June 30, 2022, the Company does not have any obligations to provide financial support to WP.

Senior Notes due 2028
On October 6, 2021, the Company closed on an offering of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.50% unsecured Senior Notes due 2028 (the “New Senior Notes”). The New Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of October 6, 2021, by and among the Company, certain subsidiary guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The New Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.50% and pay interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The New Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2028. At any time prior to October 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the New Senior Notes for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Senior Notes being redeemed plus an applicable make-whole premium set forth in the Indenture and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.
Prior to October 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the New Senior Notes at a redemption price of 104.500% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, with the proceeds of certain equity offerings so long as if, after any such redemption occurs, at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Senior Notes remain outstanding. On and after October 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the New Senior Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 102.250% for the twelve-month period beginning on October 15, 2024, 101.125% for the twelve-month period beginning October 15, 2025 and 100.000% beginning on October 15, 2026, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), unless the Company has exercised its optional redemption right in respect of the New Senior Notes, the holders of the New Senior Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the New Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Senior Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase.
14
The New Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all direct and indirect existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain restrictions. The New Senior Notes and related guarantees are the Company’s and the Guarantors’ general unsecured senior obligations and will be subordinated to all of the Company and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that secured obligation. In addition, the New Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to any existing and future debt of any of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not Guarantors, to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries.
Subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, the Indenture restricts the Company’s ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, its capital stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits; (iii) make loans and certain investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) create or incur liens; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (vii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.
During any time when the New Senior Notes are rated investment grade by at least two of Moody’s, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will be suspended and the Company and its subsidiaries will cease to be subject to such covenants during such period.
The Indenture contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of the New Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, may be declared immediately due and payable. These amounts automatically become due and payable if an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
Contractual coupon interest expense and accretion of fees for the New Senior Notes for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 was $4.5 million and $0.2 million, and $9.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Contractual coupon interest expense and accretion of fees are included in Interest expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no contractual coupon interest expense and accretion of fees for the New Senior Notes during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021.
Contractual coupon interest expense and accretion of discount and fees for the Senior Notes due 2025, which were redeemed in full during the fourth quarter of 2021, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 was $4.5 million and $9.0 million, respectively. Contractual coupon interest expense and accretion of discount and fees are included in Interest expense on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On December 21, 2018, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC as the administrative agent, joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner (the “Revolver Agent”), and Citizens Business Capital, a division of Citizens Asset Finance, Inc., as syndication agent, joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, which amended and restated the Company’s existing amended and restated revolving credit agreement, dated as of May 8, 2012.
On September 28, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and the Revolver Agent. The First Amendment primarily made conforming changes to the provisions in the Revolving Credit Agreement to reflect modifications made under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated September 20, 2020, among the Company, the lenders from time to time parties thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent, providing for a secured loan facility of $150 million (the “New Term Loan Credit Agreement”).
On September 28, 2021, the Company entered into an Increase Agreement Regarding Incremental Revolver Commitments and Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”, and together with the First Amendment and Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the “Revolving Credit Agreement” or “Revolving Facility”), which exercised an option under the Revolving Credit Agreement to increase the total revolving credit commitments by $50 million from $175 million to $225 million. The Revolving Credit Agreement continues to include an increase option, which would allow the Company, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement (including the approval of the lenders providing the applicable increase), to increase the total revolving credit commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement by a further $50 million to a maximum of $275 million.
15
The Revolving Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Revolver Guarantors”) and is secured by (i) first priority security interests (subject only to customary permitted liens and certain other permitted liens) in substantially all personal property of the Borrowers and the Revolver Guarantors, consisting of accounts receivable, inventory, cash, deposit and securities accounts and any cash or other assets in such accounts and, to the extent evidencing or otherwise related to such property, all general intangibles, licenses, intercompany debt, letter of credit rights, commercial tort claims, chattel paper, instruments, supporting obligations, documents and payment intangibles (collectively, the “Revolver Priority Collateral”), and (ii) second-priority liens on and security interests in customary permitted liens and certain other permitted liens (A) equity interests of each direct subsidiary held by the Borrowers and each Revolver Guarantor (subject to customary limitations in the case of the equity of foreign subsidiaries), and (B) substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Borrowers and the Revolver Guarantors including equipment, general intangibles, intercompany notes, insurance policies, investment property and intellectual property (in each case, except to the extent constituting Revolver Priority Collateral), but excluding real property (collectively, including certain material owned real property that does not constitute collateral under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the “Term Priority Collateral”). The Revolving Credit Agreement has a scheduled maturity date of December 21, 2023.
Subject to availability, the Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a letter of credit subfacility in an amount not in excess of $15 million, and allows for swingline loans in an amount not in excess of $17.5 million. Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at an annual rate, at the Borrowers’ election, equal to (i) London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% or (ii) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, in each case depending upon the monthly average excess availability under the Revolving Loan Facility. The Borrowers are required to pay a monthly unused line fee equal to 0.20% times the average daily unused availability along with other customary fees and expenses thereunder.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting the ability of the Company and certain of its affiliates to, among other things, pay cash dividends, incur debt or liens, redeem or repurchase stock, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge, dissolve, repay subordinated indebtedness, make investments and dispose of assets. In addition, the Company will be required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the end of any period of 12 fiscal months when excess availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement is less than 10% of the total revolving commitment. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2022.
If availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement is less than 15% of the total revolving commitment or if there exists an event of default, amounts in any of the Borrowers’ and the Revolver Guarantors’ deposit accounts (other than certain excluded accounts) will be transferred daily into a blocked account held by the Revolver Agent and applied to reduce the outstanding amounts under the facility.
If the covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement are breached, the lenders may, subject to various customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding and foreclose on collateral. Other customary events of default in the Revolving Credit Agreement include, without limitation, failure to pay obligations when due, initiation of insolvency proceedings, defaults on certain other indebtedness, and the incurrence of certain judgments that are not stayed, satisfied, bonded or discharged within 30 days.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company repaid $30.0 million of principal under the Revolving Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2022, there was $59.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility. Interest expense under the Revolving Credit Agreement for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, and as of June 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility. The Company paid no interest under the Revolving Credit Agreement during the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021.
The Company’s liquidity position, defined as cash on hand and available borrowing capacity on the Revolving Facility, amounted to $298.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and $258.0 million as of December 31, 2021.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company drew $50.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement, a portion of which was used along with the proceeds of the New Senior Notes to fund the redemption in full of the Senior Notes due 2025, to repay in full the $108.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, and to pay all related fees and expenses of the New Senior Notes.
16
New Term Loan Credit Agreement
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $108.8 million outstanding under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement (which was repaid in full during the fourth quarter of 2021), none of which was classified as current on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement the Company paid interest of $1.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company made principal payments totaling $30.0 million and recognized loss on debt extinguishment charges of approximately $0.5 million. The extinguishment charges are included in Other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred charges of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for amortization of fees and original issuance discount. Amortization of fees and original issuance discount are included in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
9. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Commodity Pricing Risk
As of June 30, 2022, the Company was party to commodity swap contracts for specific commodities with notional amounts of approximately $90.3 million. The Company uses commodity swap contracts to mitigate the risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices impacting its cash flows related to inventory purchases from suppliers. The Company does not hedge all commodity price risk.
At inception, the Company designated the commodity swap contracts as cash flow hedges. The contracts mature at specified monthly settlement dates and will be recognized into earnings through January 2023. The effective portion of the hedging transaction is recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and transferred to earnings when the forecasted hedged transaction takes place or when the forecasted hedged transaction is no longer probable to occur.

10. LEASES
The Company records a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability for substantially all leases for which it is a lessee, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has no significant lease agreements in place for which the Company is a lessor. At inception of a contract, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances to assess whether or not the contract represents a lease by determining whether or not the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, either explicit or implicit, for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company leases certain industrial spaces, office spaces, land, and equipment. Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from generally to 5 years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion, and are included in the lease term only to the extent such renewal options are reasonably certain of being exercised at lease commencement. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, leased assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities totaled approximately $8.9 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, leased assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities were insignificant. As of June 30, 2022, obligations related to operating leases that the Company has executed but have not yet commenced totaled approximately $0.2 million on a non-discounted basis, which the Company generally expects to be recognized over the next three years.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into sale-leaseback-sublease transactions. Amounts related to these transactions during the second quarter of 2022 were insignificant. In addition, certain of the transactions occurred with a related party—such transactions were at market value and arm’s length.

The Company offers a limited warranty for its products with a coverage period that ranges between and 5 years, except that the coverage period for DuraPlate® trailer panels is 10 years. The Company passes through component manufacturers’ warranties to our customers. The Company’s policy is to accrue the estimated cost of warranty coverage at the time of the sale.
12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s fair value measurements are based upon a three-level valuation hierarchy. These valuation techniques are based upon the transparency of inputs (observable and unobservable) to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
▪Level 1 — Valuation is based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
▪Level 2 — Valuation is based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for the full term of the financial instrument; and
▪Level 3 — Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan which is offered to senior management and other key employees. The amount owed to participants is an unfunded and unsecured general obligation of the Company. Participants are offered various investment options with which to invest the amount owed to them, and the plan administrator maintains a record of the liability owed to participants by investment. To minimize the impact of the change in market value of this liability, the Company has elected to purchase a separate portfolio of investments through the plan administrator similar to those chosen by the participant.
The investments purchased by the Company include mutual funds, which are classified as Level 1, and life-insurance contracts valued based on the performance of underlying mutual funds, which are classified as Level 2. Additionally, the Company holds a pool of investments made by a wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary. These investments are comprised of mutual funds, which are classified as Level 1.
The fair value of the Company’s derivatives is estimated with a market approach using third-party pricing services, which have been corroborated with data from active markets or broker quotes, and are classified as Level 2.

Estimated Fair Value of Debt
The estimated fair value of debt at June 30, 2022 consists primarily of the Senior Notes due 2028 and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement (see Note 8). The fair value of the Senior Notes due 2028 are based upon third party pricing sources, which generally do not represent daily market activity or represent data obtained from an exchange, and are classified as Level 2. The interest rates on the Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Facility are adjusted regularly to reflect current market rates and thus carrying value approximates fair value for any borrowings.
The Company’s carrying and estimated fair value of debt at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of debt is based on current public market prices for disclosure purposes only. Unrealized gains or losses are not recognized in the financial statements as long-term debt is presented at carrying value, net of unamortized premium or discount and unamortized deferred financing costs in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of June 30, 2022, the Company was named as a defendant or was otherwise involved in numerous legal proceedings and governmental examinations, in connection with the conduct of its business activities, in various jurisdictions, both in the United States and internationally. On the basis of information currently available to it, management does not believe that existing proceedings and investigations will have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or liquidity if determined in a manner adverse to the Company. However, such matters are unpredictable, and we could incur judgments or enter into settlements for current or future claims that could materially and adversely affect our financial statements. Costs associated with the litigation and settlements of legal matters are reported within General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Environmental Disputes
In August 2014, the Company received notice as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (the “DHEC”) pertaining to the Philip Services Site located in Rock Hill, South Carolina pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and corresponding South Carolina statutes. PRPs include parties identified through manifest records as having contributed to deliveries of hazardous substances to the Philip Services Site between 1979 and 1999. The DHEC’s allegation that the Company was a PRP arises out of four manifest entries in 1989 under the name of a company unaffiliated with Wabash National Corporation (or any of its former or current subsidiaries) that purport to be delivering a de minimis amount of hazardous waste to the Philip Services Site “c/o Wabash National Corporation.” As such, the Philip Services Site PRP Group (the “PRP Group”) notified Wabash in August 2014 that it was offering the Company the opportunity to resolve any liabilities associated with the Philip Services Site by entering into a Cash Out and Reopener Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the PRP Group, as well as a Consent Decree with the DHEC. The Company has accepted the offer from the PRP Group to enter into the Settlement Agreement and Consent Decree, while reserving its rights to contest its liability for any deliveries of hazardous materials to the Philips Services Site. The requested settlement payment is immaterial to the Company’s financial conditions and results of operations, and as a result, if the Settlement Agreement and Consent Decree are finalized, the payment to be made by the Company thereunder is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
On November 13, 2019, the Company received a notice that it was considered one of several PRPs by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (“IDEM”) under CERCLA and state law related to substances found in soil and groundwater at a property located at 817 South Earl Avenue, Lafayette, Indiana (the “Site”). The Company has never owned or operated the Site, but the Site is near certain of the Company’s owned properties. The Company has agreed to implement a limited work plan to further investigate the source of the contamination at the Site and have worked with IDEM and other PRPs to finalize the terms of the work plan. The Company submitted its initial site investigation report to IDEM during the third quarter of 2020, indicating that the data collected by the Company’s consultant confirmed that the Company’s properties are not the source of contamination at the Site. In December 2021, after completing further groundwater sampling work, the Company submitted to IDEM a supplemental written report, which again stated that the Company is not a responsible party and the Company’s properties are not a source of any contamination. In June 2022, the Company and other PRPs finalized Work Plan Addendum No. 3, which provides for additional groundwater sampling on another PRP property in the next 90 days. As of June 30, 2022, based on the information available, the Company does not expect this matter to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
Chassis Converter Pool Agreements
The Company obtains most vehicle chassis for its specialized vehicle products directly from the chassis manufacturers under converter pool agreements. Chassis are obtained from the manufacturers based on orders from customers, and in some cases, for unallocated orders. The agreements generally state that the manufacturer will provide a supply of chassis to be maintained at the Company’s facilities with the condition that we will store such chassis and will not move, sell, or otherwise dispose of such chassis except under the terms of the agreement. In addition, the manufacturer typically retains the sole authority to authorize commencement of work on the chassis and to make certain other decisions with respect to the chassis including the terms and pricing of sales of the chassis to the manufacturer’s dealers. The manufacturer also does not transfer the certificate of origin to the Company nor permit the Company to sell or transfer the chassis to anyone other than the manufacturer (for ultimate resale to a dealer). Although the Company is party to related finance agreements with manufacturers, the Company has not historically settled, nor expects to in the future settle, any related obligations in cash. Instead, the obligation is settled by the manufacturer upon reassignment of the chassis to an accepted dealer, and the dealer is invoiced for the chassis by the manufacturer. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022, the Company’s outstanding chassis converter pool with the manufacturer totaled $11.2 million and the Company has included this financing agreement on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Prepaid expenses and other and Other accrued liabilities. All other chassis programs are handled as consigned inventory belonging to the manufacturer and totaled approximately $0.4 million. Under these agreements, if the chassis is not delivered to a customer within a specified time frame, the Company is required to pay a finance or storage charge on the chassis. Additionally, the Company receives finance support funds from manufacturers when the chassis are assigned into the Company’s chassis pool. Typically, chassis are converted and delivered to customers within 90 days of the receipt of the chassis by the Company.

14. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including vested shares deferred under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Diluted earnings per common share is determined based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period combined with the incremental average common shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares into common shares as of the earliest date possible. The calculation of basic and diluted net income attributable to common stockholders per common share is determined using net income attributable to common stockholders as the numerator and the number of shares included in the denominator as shown below (in thousands, except per share amounts).

15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company recognizes all share-based payments based upon their grant date fair value. The Company grants restricted stock units subject to specific service, performance, and/or market conditions. The Company’s policy is to recognize expense for awards that have service conditions only subject to graded vesting using the straight-line attribution method. The fair value of service and performance-based units is based on the market price of a share of underlying common stock at the date of grant. The fair values of the awards that contain market conditions are estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation approach in a risk-neutral framework to model future stock price movements based upon historical volatility, risk-free rates of return, and correlation matrix. The amount of compensation costs related to restricted stock units and performance units not yet recognized was $16.2 million at June 30, 2022, for which the expense will be recognized through 2025.
16. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Share Repurchase Program
In August 2021, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional $150 million in shares of common stock over a three-year period. This authorization was an increase to the previous $100 million repurchase programs approved in November 2018, February 2017, and February 2016. The repurchase program is set to expire in August 2024. Stock repurchases under this program may be made in the open market or in private transactions at times and in amounts determined by the Company. As of June 30, 2022, $126.1 million remained available under the program.
Common and Preferred Stock
The Board of Directors has the authority to issue common and unclassed preferred stock of up to 200 million shares and 25 million shares, respectively, with par value of $0.01 per share, as well as to fix dividends, voting and conversion rights, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences, and other rights and restrictions.

18. IMPAIRMENT AND SALES OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company impaired approximately $1.0 million of construction-in-progress projects that were no longer expected to be completed. In addition, the Company sold a building (and the related land) for net proceeds of $1.1 million. A gain on sale of approximately $0.7 million was recognized as part of the sale. The impairment and gain on sale are included in Impairment and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company sold its Extract Technology® (“Extract”) business that manufactured stainless steel isolators and downflow booths, as well as custom-fabricated equipment, including workstations and drum booths for the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, biotech, and nuclear end markets. Proceeds of the sale, net of transaction costs and cash divested, totaled approximately $20.8 million. Prior to the sale, Extract was an operating unit within the Diversified Products reporting segment. A gain on sale of approximately $1.9 million was recognized in connection with the divestiture, and a portion of the net proceeds from the sale were used to pay down outstanding principal under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement as further described in Note 8. The gain on sale is included in Impairment and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, as part of the sale the Company allocated $11.1 million of goodwill based upon the relative fair value of the Extract operating unit compared to the Diversified Products reporting unit as a whole. This goodwill, along with net intangible assets of approximately $1.3 million, were included in the carrying value of the disposed assets and the resulting gain recognized in connection with the sale.
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company impaired unused and obsolete property, plant, and equipment assets totaling approximately $0.8 million. The impairment charges are included in Impairment and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
19. SEGMENTS
a. Segment Reporting
As further described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, beginning in September 2021 the Company realigned its operating and reportable segments based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions, and evaluates operating performance. Based on this realignment, the Company eliminated the historical Commercial Trailer Products, Diversified Products, and Final Mile Products segments and established two operating and reportable segments: Transportation Solutions and Parts & Services.
Additional information related to the composition of each segment is included below.
▪Transportation Solutions (“TS”): The TS segment comprises the design and manufacturing operations for the Company’s transportation-related equipment and products. This includes dry and refrigerated van trailers, platform trailers, and the Company’s wood flooring production facility, all of which were previously reported in the CTP segment. The Company’s EcoNex™ products that were historically included in both the CTP and FMP segments are now reported in the TS segment. In addition, the TS segment includes tank trailers and truck-mounted tanks that were historically reported in the DPG segment. Finally, truck-mounted dry and refrigerated bodies and service and stake bodies that were previously reported in the FMP segment are also in the TS segment.
▪Parts & Services (“P&S”): The P&S segment is comprised of each of the Company’s historical segments’ parts and services businesses as well as the upfitting component of our truck bodies business. In addition, the Company’s Composites business, which focuses on the use of DuraPlate® composite panels beyond the semi-trailer market, is also part of the P&S segment (previously reported in the DPG segment). Finally, the P&S segment includes the Company’s Engineered Products business (previously reported in the DPG segment), including stainless-steel storage tanks and silos, mixers, and processors for a variety of end markets. Growing and expanding the parts and services businesses is a key strategic initiative for the Company moving forward.
The accounting policies of the TS and P&S segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that the Company evaluates segment performance based on income (loss) from operations. The Company has not allocated certain corporate related administrative costs, interest and income taxes included in the corporate and eliminations segment to the Company’s other reportable segments. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost. Segment assets are not presented as it is not a measure reviewed by the CODM in allocating resources and assessing performance.

COVID-19 Update
In March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) related to COVID-19. The pandemic created significant uncertainties and disruptions in the global economy. We continue to monitor the pandemic and remain focused on the health and safety of our employees, as well as the health of our business. In addition, we manage our operating plans considering the most recent developments including the changes to best practice guidelines by health experts, the drop in new cases in the United States, and changing local, state, and federal requirements. As new cases continue to drop, we are shifting from the crises of a pandemic to managing the ongoing challenges of an endemic infection.
While we are moving to an endemic phase, the COVID-19 pandemic has had lasting effects and continues to cause supply chain, labor, and raw material constraints that impact global markets. As a result, we have experienced inflation across our supply chain, increased freight and logistics costs, and volatility in connection with labor shortages. While the global market downturn and overall impacts on our operations are expected to be temporary, the duration of the impacts cannot be estimated at this time. However, should the disruptions continue for an extended period of time or worsen, the impact on our production, supply chain, demand for our products, and overall business could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Results of Operations

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, we recorded net sales of $642.8 million compared to $449.4 million in the prior year period. Net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 increased $193.3 million, or 43.0%, compared to the prior year period, due primarily to an increase in new trailer shipments of 17.9% on account of stronger demand in this market. Despite a decrease in truck body shipments of 17.3%, which was primarily attributable to continued supply chain constraints, truck body revenue increased approximately $5.0 million. The higher new trailer shipment volumes drove an increase of 48.2% in net sales within the TS reportable segment. In addition, net sales within the P&S reportable segment increased $1.6 million, despite the sale of Extract Technology® in the second quarter of 2021 (approximately $6.2 million in net sales during the second quarter of 2021) and closure of 17 service locations during the first nine months of 2021 (decrease in net sales of approximately $2.4 million from the prior year period). The increase in net sales within the P&S reportable segment was due in part to the Wabash Parts LLC parts and distribution entity we created with our partner as further described in Note 5, as well as overall higher demand for our parts, services, and upfitting offerings. Gross profit margin decreased to 12.1% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 12.4% in the prior year period primarily driven by higher materials costs that outweighed certain pricing actions to partially offset the increase in commodity costs. While we have observed a sustained increase in overall industry demand thus far during 2022, we continue to experience some challenges as we ramp-up production, manage our supply chain, and hire additional labor. However, we remain focused on positioning ourselves to profitably capitalize on the current increase in demand and industry upswings.
30
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $9.3 million as compared to the same period in 2021. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 6.0% in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to 6.4% in the prior year period. The overall increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the current year period compared to the same period in the prior year was largely due to an increase in professional fees and outside services costs as well as higher employee-related costs, including benefits and incentive programs.
Our management team continues to be focused on increasing overall stockholder value by optimizing our manufacturing operations to match the current demand environment, implementing cost savings initiatives and enterprise lean techniques, strengthening our capital structure and maintaining strong liquidity, developing innovative products that enable our customers to succeed, improving earnings, and continuing diversification of the business into higher margin opportunities that leverage our intellectual and process capabilities.

TS segment sales, prior to the elimination of intersegment sales, were $596.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $193.8 million, or 48.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. New trailers shipped during the second quarter of 2022 totaled 13,670 trailers compared to 11,595 trailers in the prior year period, an increase of 17.9%. New truck bodies shipped during the second quarter of 2022 totaled 3,970 truck bodies compared to 4,800 truck bodies in the prior year period, a decrease of 17.3% primarily due to continued supply chain constraints. The increase in new trailer shipments resulted in an overall increase in new trailer revenue, driven by strong demand for our van, tank, and platform trailers. Despite the decrease in truck body shipments from the prior year period, truck body revenue increased approximately 6.6%. Revenue per new trailer unit and truck body increased across each of our product lines, due in part to pricing actions to partially offset the increase in commodity costs.
P&S segment sales, prior to the elimination of intersegment sales, were $50.4 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.6 million, or 3.4%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. The overall increase in sales for this segment was due in part to the Wabash Parts LLC parts and distribution entity we created with our partner as further described in Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, which had approximately $3.6 million of sales during the second quarter of 2022, as well as overall higher demand for our parts, services, and upfitting offerings. These increases were partially offset by the sale of our Extract Technology® business during the second quarter of 2021, which had sales totaling approximately $6.2 million during the second quarter of 2021. We also completed the closure of 17 service locations during the first nine months of 2021 that attributed approximately $2.4 million during the prior period.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $564.7 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $170.9 million, or 43.4%, compared to the prior year period. Cost of sales is comprised of material costs, a variable expense, and other manufacturing costs, comprised of both fixed and variable expenses, including direct and indirect labor, outbound freight, overhead expenses, and depreciation.
31
TS segment cost of sales was $530.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $174.6 million, or 49.1%, compared to the prior year period. The increase in cost of sales, which was primarily driven by higher sales and production volumes on account of stronger demand, was due to an increase in materials costs of $137.6 million, or 55.1%, and higher labor and employee-related costs of approximately $10.6 million. An additional increase related to other manufacturing costs, including outside services, operating supplies, and repairs and maintenance, which totaled approximately $6.6 million.
P&S segment cost of sales was $38.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.2%, compared to the prior period. The increase in cost of sales for this segment was due in part to the Wabash Parts LLC parts and distribution entity we created with our partner as further described in Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as overall higher demand for our parts, services, and upfitting solutions, which drove an overall increase in materials costs of approximately $3.8 million, or 14.1%. This increase was mostly offset by a decrease in cost of sales due to the sale of our Extract Technology® business during the second quarter of 2021 and the closure of 17 service locations during the first nine months of 2021.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $78.0 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $22.4 million from the prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 12.1% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 12.4% for the same period in 2021. Gross profit by segment was as follows (dollars in thousands):

TS segment gross profit was $66.1 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $46.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. Gross profit, prior to the elimination of intersegment sales, as a percentage of net sales, was 11.1% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 11.6% in the comparative 2021 period. The overall increase in gross profit from the prior year period was primarily driven by an increase in our dry vans products and our truck bodies, platforms, and tank trailers, all of which were generally attributable to higher demand for these products compared to the prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from the prior year period primarily due to an increase in overall materials costs, which were partially offset by our pricing actions.
P&S segment gross profit was $11.8 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $10.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. Gross profit, prior to the elimination of intersegment sales, as a percentage of net sales, was 23.5% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 21.0% in the 2021 period. This increase was generally related to higher gross profit in our parts, services, and upfitting offerings in the current year period, including Wabash Parts LLC, as well as exit costs incurred during the second quarter of 2021 related to the closure of service locations. These increases were partially offset by the sale of our Extract Technology® business during the second quarter of 2021, which had gross profit totaling approximately $1.0 million during the second quarter of 2021.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2022 increased $8.0 million, or 35.1%, from the prior year period. The increase from the prior year period was due in part to an increase of approximately $3.7 million in professional fees and outside services/labor. There was also an increase in employee-related costs, including benefits and incentive programs, of approximately $1.5 million. In addition, depreciation, rental, and maintenance expenses increased a total of approximately $1.3 million. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 4.8% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to 5.1% for the second quarter of 2021. The overall decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the increase in sales compared to the prior year period.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses were $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.3 million, or 21.6%, compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in advertising costs and outside services expense totaling approximately $1.2 million. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses were 1.1% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to 1.3% for the second quarter of 2021. The overall decrease in selling expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the increase in sales compared to the prior year period.
32
Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles was $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $5.8 million in the prior year period. Amortization of intangibles was the result of expenses recognized for intangible assets recorded from the acquisitions of Walker in May 2012 and Supreme in September 2017. The decrease from the prior year period is primarily attributable to the write-off of approximately $28.3 million in trade name and trademark intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2021 as part of our rebranding as Wabash®, which is further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, we sold our Extract Technology® business during the second quarter of 2021 and wrote-off the related intangible assets as part of the sale. Finally, certain of the intangible assets recorded upon the acquisition of Walker in May 2012 became fully amortized during the second quarter of 2022.
Impairment and Other, Net
Impairment and other, net was insignificant for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a net gain of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we sold our Extract Technology® business and recognized a gain on sale of approximately $1.9 million. The gain on sale was partially offset by insignificant items.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $5.2 million compared to $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2021. Interest expense relates to interest and non-cash accretion charges on our Senior Notes due 2028 (during 2022), Revolving Credit Agreement (during 2022), Senior Notes due 2025 (during 2021), and New Term Loan Credit Agreement (during 2021). The decrease from the prior year period is primarily attributable to the repayment of the New Term Loan Credit Agreement in full during the fourth quarter of 2021, partially offset by interest on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement during the second quarter of 2022.
Other, net for the second quarter of 2022 represented expense of $0.3 million as compared to expense of $0.4 million for the prior year period. Expense for current year period is related to individually insignificant items. Expense for the prior year period is primarily attributable to debt extinguishment charges totaling $0.5 million in connection with the $30.0 million principal payments under our New Term Loan Credit Agreement during the second quarter of 2021, partially offset by interest income.
Income Taxes
We recognized income tax expense of $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $4.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate for this period was 25.1% compared to a rate of 24.5% for the same period in the prior year. For the second quarter of 2022, the effective tax rate differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of state and local taxes net of discrete items incurred related to stock-based compensation. For the second quarter of 2021, the effective tax rate differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of state and local taxes and discrete items incurred related to stock-based compensation.

New truck bodies shipped during the first six months of 2022 totaled 7,510 truck bodies compared to 9,570 truck bodies in the prior year period, a decrease of 21.5%. The increase in new trailer shipments resulted in an overall increase in new trailer revenue, driven by strong demand for our van, tank, and platform trailers. The decrease in truck body shipments from the prior year period resulted in a decrease in truck body revenue of approximately 5.9%. Revenue per new trailer unit and truck body increased, due in part to pricing actions to partially offset the increase in commodity costs.
P&S segment sales prior to the elimination of intersegment sales were $97.1 million for the first six months of 2022, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.3%, compared to the same period of 2021. The overall decrease in sales was partially attributable to the sale of our Extract Technology® business during the second quarter of 2021, which had sales totaling approximately $11.7 million during the first six months of 2021. We also completed the closure of 17 service locations during the first nine months of 2021 that attributed to the decrease by approximately $6.0 million. These decreases were partially offset by the Wabash Parts LLC parts and distribution entity we created with our partner as further described in Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, which had approximately $3.6 million of sales during the first six months of 2022, as well as overall higher demand for our parts, services, and upfitting offerings compared to the prior year period.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $1,053.4 million in the first six months of 2022, an increase of $314.8 million, or 42.6%, compared to the prior year period. Cost of sales is comprised of material costs, a variable expense, and other manufacturing costs, comprised of both fixed and variable expenses, including direct and indirect labor, outbound freight, overhead expenses, and depreciation.
TS segment cost of sales was $984.5 million in the first six months of 2022, an increase of $322.2 million, or 48.6%, compared to the prior year period. The increase in cost of sales, which was primarily driven by higher sales and production volumes on account of stronger demand, was due to an increase in materials costs of $252.7 million, or 55.3%, and higher labor costs of approximately $16.1 million. An additional increase related to other manufacturing costs, including outside services, operating supplies, and repairs and maintenance, which totaled approximately $11.9 million.
34
P&S segment cost of sales was $74.8 million in the first six months of 2022, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 2.4%, compared to the prior period. The overall decrease in cost of sales was due to the sale of our Extract Technology® business during the second quarter of 2021 and the closure of 17 service locations during the first nine months of 2021 totaling approximately $17.5 million. These decreases were partially offset by increases due to the Wabash Parts LLC parts and distribution entity we created with our partner as further described in Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as overall higher demand for our other parts, services, and upfitting offerings.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $136.1 million in the first six months of 2022, an increase of $33.3 million from the prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 11.4% for the first six months, compared to 12.2% during the same period in 2021. Gross profit by segment was as follows (dollars in thousands):

TS segment gross profit was $113.7 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $85.0 million for the prior year period. Gross profit prior to the elimination of intersegment sales, as a percentage of net sales, was 10.4% in 2022 compared to 11.4% in the prior period. The overall increase in gross profit from the prior year period was primarily driven by an increase in our dry vans products and our truck bodies, platforms, and tank trailers, all of which were generally attributable to higher demand for these products compared to the prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from the prior year period primarily due to an increase in overall materials costs, which were partially offset by our pricing actions.
P&S segment gross profit was $22.4 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $20.7 million in the same period of 2021. Gross profit prior to the elimination of intersegment sales, as a percentage of net sales, was 23.0% in the 2022 period compared to 21.3% in the prior period. This increase was generally related to higher gross profit in our parts, services, and upfitting offerings in the current year period, including Wabash Parts LLC, as well as exit costs incurred during the second quarter of 2021 related to the closure of service locations. These increases were partially offset by the sale of our Extract Technology® business during the second quarter of 2021, which had gross profit totaling approximately $2.2 million during the first six months of 2021.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2022 increased $11.5 million, or 25.1%, from the prior year period. The increase from the prior year period was due in part to an increase of approximately $6.2 million in professional fees and outside services/labor. In addition, depreciation, rental, and maintenance expenses increased a total of approximately $2.1 million. There was also an increase in employee-related costs, including benefits and incentive programs, of approximately $0.7 million. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses were 4.8% for the 2022 period as compared to 5.4% for the same period of 2021. The overall decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the increase in sales compared to the prior year period.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses were $13.6 million in the first six months of 2022, an increase of $0.9 million, or 6.7%, compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to higher advertising and promotional expenses, outside service costs, and professional fees totaling approximately $1.9 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in employee-related costs, including benefits and incentive programs, of approximately $1.2 million. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses were 1.1% for the 2022 period as compared to 1.5% for the same period of 2021. The overall decrease in selling expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the increase in sales compared to the prior year period.
35
Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles was $8.8 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $11.6 million in the prior year period. Amortization of intangibles was the result of expenses recognized for intangible assets recorded from the acquisitions of Walker in May 2012 and Supreme in September 2017. The decrease from the prior year period is primarily attributable to the write-off of approximately $28.3 million in trade name and trademark intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2021 as part of our rebranding as Wabash®, which is further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, we sold our Extract Technology® business during the second quarter of 2021 and wrote-off the related intangible assets as part of the sale. Finally, certain of the intangible assets recorded upon the acquisition of Walker in May 2012 became fully amortized during the second quarter of 2022.
Impairment and Other, Net
Impairment and other, net was a net loss of $0.3 million during the first six months of 2022 compared to a net gain of $1.2 million during the first six months of 2021. The net loss during the current year period is primarily related to the impairment of $1.0 million of construction-in-progress projects that were no longer expected to be completed, partially offset by the sale of a building (and the related land) as further described in Note 18. During the second quarter of 2021, we sold our Extract Technology® business and recognized a gain on sale of approximately $1.9 million. This gain was partially offset by the impairment of unused and obsolete property, plant, and equipment assets during the first quarter of 2021 totaling approximately $0.8 million.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense for the first six months of 2022 totaled $10.1 million compared to $12.2 million in the prior year period. Interest expense relates to interest and non-cash accretion charges on our Senior Notes due 2028 (during 2022), Revolving Credit Agreement (during 2022), Senior Notes due 2025 (during 2021), and New Term Loan Credit Agreement (during 2021). The decrease from the prior year period is primarily attributable to the repayment of the New Term Loan Credit Agreement in full during the fourth quarter of 2021, partially offset by interest on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement during the first six months of 2022.
Other, net for the first six months of 2022 represented expense of $0.4 million as compared to expense of $0.4 million for the prior year period. Expense for current year period is related to individually insignificant items. Expense for the prior year period is primarily attributable to debt extinguishment charges totaling $0.5 million in connection with the $30.0 million principal payments under our New Term Loan Credit Agreement during the second quarter, partially offset by interest income.
Income Taxes
The Company recognized income tax expense of $10.7 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to income tax expense of $5.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rates for the first six months of 2022 and 2021 were 23.5% and 27.3%, respectively. For the first six months of 2022, the effective tax rate differs from the US Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of state and local taxes net of discrete items incurred related to stock-based compensation. For the first six months of 2021, the effective tax rate differs from the US Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of state and local taxes and discrete items incurred related to stock-based compensation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Structure
Our capital structure is comprised of a mix of debt and equity. As of June 30, 2022, our debt to equity ratio was approximately 1.3:1.0. Our long-term objective is to generate operating cash flows sufficient to support the growth within our businesses and increase shareholder value. This objective will be achieved through a balanced capital allocation strategy of sustaining strong liquidity, maintaining healthy leverage ratios, investing in the business, both organically and strategically, and returning capital to our shareholders. As of May 11, 2021, the Board of Directors has designated a Finance Committee for the primary purpose of assisting the Board in its oversight of the Company’s capital structure, financing, investment, and other financial matters of importance to the Company.
36
During the first six months of 2022, in keeping with this balanced approach, we paid dividends of approximately $8.3 million, repurchased shares under our share repurchase program totaling $10.0 million, and repaid $30.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Also, as further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, in September 2021 we exercised an option under the Revolving Credit Agreement to increase the total revolving credit commitments by $50 million from $175 million to $225 million. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2021 we used the net proceeds of the New Senior Notes due 2028 and a portion of the increased capacity under the Revolving Credit Agreement to fund the redemption in full of the Old Senior Notes due 2025, to repay in full the $108.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, and to pay all related fees and expenses. Collectively, these actions demonstrate our confidence in the financial outlook of the Company and our ability to generate cash flow, both near and long term, and reinforce our overall commitment to deliver shareholder value while maintaining the flexibility to continue to execute our strategic plan for profitable growth and diversification.
Our liquidity position, defined as cash on hand and available borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Agreement, amounted to $298.1 million as of June 30, 2022, a decrease of 2% compared to $304.3 million as of June 30, 2021 and an increase of 16% from $258.0 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase as of June 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 is primarily attributable to a higher cash balance partially offset by lower available capacity on the Revolving Credit Agreement. For the remainder of 2022, we expect to continue our commitment to fund our working capital requirements and capital expenditures, including our previously announced plans to add 20% more dry van manufacturing capacity beginning in 2023, which will be achieved by ramping down traditional refrigerated trailer capacity and converting the floor space to create additional dry van production. Along with the increased dry van manufacturing capacity, we will also maintain our assets to capitalize on any economic and/or industry upswings, while also responsibly returning capital to our shareholders. We will continue to move rapidly to adjust to the current environment to preserve the strength of our balance sheet, while prioritizing the safety of our employees and ensuring the liquidity and financial well-being of the Company.
Debt Agreements and Related Amendments
Senior Notes due 2028
On October 6, 2021, we closed on an offering of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.50% unsecured Senior Notes due 2028 (the “New Senior Notes”). The New Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of October 6, 2021, by and among Wabash, certain subsidiary guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The New Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.50% and pay interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The New Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2028. At any time prior to October 15, 2024, we may redeem some or all of the New Senior Notes for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Senior Notes being redeemed plus an applicable make-whole premium set forth in the Indenture and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.
Prior to October 15, 2024, we may redeem up to 40% of the New Senior Notes at a redemption price of 104.500% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, with the proceeds of certain equity offerings so long as if, after any such redemption occurs, at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Senior Notes remain outstanding. On and after October 15, 2024, we may redeem some or all of the New Senior Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 102.250% for the twelve-month period beginning on October 15, 2024, 101.125% for the twelve-month period beginning October 15, 2025 and 100.000% beginning on October 15, 2026, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), unless we have exercised its optional redemption right in respect of the New Senior Notes, the holders of the New Senior Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of the New Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Senior Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase.
The New Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all direct and indirect existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain restrictions. The New Senior Notes and related guarantees are our and the Guarantors’ general unsecured senior obligations and will be subordinated to all of our and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that secured obligation. In addition, the New Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to any existing and future debt of any of our subsidiaries that are not Guarantors, to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries.
Subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, the Indenture restricts our ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, its capital stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits; (iii) make loans and certain investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) create or incur liens; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (vii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.
37
During any time when the New Senior Notes are rated investment grade by at least two of Moody’s, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will be suspended and we and our subsidiaries will cease to be subject to such covenants during such period.
The Indenture contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of the New Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, may be declared immediately due and payable. These amounts automatically become due and payable if an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants.
Contractual coupon interest expense and accretion of fees for the New Senior Notes for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 was $4.5 million and $0.2 million, and $9.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Contractual coupon interest expense and accretion of fees are included in Interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no contractual coupon interest expense and accretion of fees for the New Senior Notes during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021.
Contractual coupon interest expense and accretion of discount and fees for the Senior Notes due 2025, which were redeemed in full during the fourth quarter of 2021, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 was $4.5 million and $9.0 million, respectively. Contractual coupon interest expense and accretion of discount and fees are included in Interest expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On December 21, 2018, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) among us, certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers (together with us, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC as the administrative agent, joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner (the “Revolver Agent”), and Citizens Business Capital, a division of Citizens Asset Finance, Inc., as syndication agent, joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, which amended and restated our existing amended and restated revolving credit agreement, dated as of May 8, 2012.
On September 28, 2020, we entered into the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) among us, certain of our subsidiaries party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and the Revolver Agent. The First Amendment primarily made conforming changes to the provisions in the Revolving Credit Agreement to reflect modifications made under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated September 20, 2020, among us, the lenders from time to time parties thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent, providing for a secured loan facility of $150 million (the “New Term Loan Credit Agreement”).
On September 28, 2021, we entered into an Increase Agreement Regarding Incremental Revolver Commitments and Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”, and together with the First Amendment and Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the “Revolving Credit Agreement” or “Revolving Facility”), which exercised an option under the Revolving Credit Agreement to increase the total revolving credit commitments by $50 million from $175 million to $225 million. The Revolving Credit Agreement continues to include an increase option, which would allow us, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement (including the approval of the lenders providing the applicable increase), to increase the total revolving credit commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement by a further $50 million to a maximum of $275 million.
The Revolving Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries (the “Revolver Guarantors”) and is secured by (i) first priority security interests (subject only to customary permitted liens and certain other permitted liens) in substantially all personal property of the Borrowers and the Revolver Guarantors, consisting of accounts receivable, inventory, cash, deposit and securities accounts and any cash or other assets in such accounts and, to the extent evidencing or otherwise related to such property, all general intangibles, licenses, intercompany debt, letter of credit rights, commercial tort claims, chattel paper, instruments, supporting obligations, documents and payment intangibles (collectively, the “Revolver Priority Collateral”), and (ii) second-priority liens on and security interests in customary permitted liens and certain other permitted liens (A) equity interests of each direct subsidiary held by the Borrowers and each Revolver Guarantor (subject to customary limitations in the case of the equity of foreign subsidiaries), and (B) substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Borrowers and the Revolver Guarantors including equipment, general intangibles, intercompany notes, insurance policies, investment property and intellectual property (in each case, except to the extent constituting Revolver Priority Collateral), but excluding real property (collectively, including certain material owned real property that does not constitute collateral under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the “Term Priority Collateral”). The Revolving Credit Agreement has a scheduled maturity date of December 21, 2023.
38
Subject to availability, the Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a letter of credit subfacility in an amount not in excess of $15 million, and allows for swingline loans in an amount not in excess of $17.5 million. Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at an annual rate, at the Borrowers’ election, equal to (i) London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% or (ii) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, in each case depending upon the monthly average excess availability under the Revolving Facility. The Borrowers are required to pay a monthly unused line fee equal to 0.20% times the average daily unused availability along with other customary fees and expenses thereunder.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting our ability and certain of our affiliates to, among other things, pay cash dividends, incur debt or liens, redeem or repurchase stock, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge, dissolve, repay subordinated indebtedness, make investments and dispose of assets. In addition, we will be required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the end of any period of 12 fiscal months when excess availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement is less than 10% of the total revolving commitment. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2022.
If availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement is less than 15% of the total revolving commitment or if there exists an event of default, amounts in any of the Borrowers’ and the Revolver Guarantors’ deposit accounts (other than certain excluded accounts) will be transferred daily into a blocked account held by the Revolver Agent and applied to reduce the outstanding amounts under the facility.
If the covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement are breached, the lenders may, subject to various customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding and foreclose on collateral. Other customary events of default in the Revolving Credit Agreement include, without limitation, failure to pay obligations when due, initiation of insolvency proceedings, defaults on certain other indebtedness, and the incurrence of certain judgments that are not stayed, satisfied, bonded or discharged within 30 days.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, we repaid $30.0 million of principal under the Revolving Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2022, there was $59.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility. Interest expense under the Revolving Credit Agreement for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, and as of June 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility. We paid no interest under the Revolving Credit Agreement during the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021.
Our liquidity position, defined as cash on hand and available borrowing capacity on the Revolving Facility, amounted to $298.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and $258.0 million as of December 31, 2021.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, we drew $50.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement, a portion of which was used along with the proceeds of the New Senior Notes to fund the redemption in full of the Senior Notes due 2025, to repay in full the $108.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, and to pay all related fees and expenses of the New Senior Notes.
New Term Loan Credit Agreement
As of June 30, 2021, we had $108.8 million outstanding under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement (which was repaid in full during the fourth quarter of 2021), none of which was classified as current on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement we paid interest of $1.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, we made principal payments totaling $30.0 million and recognized loss on debt extinguishment charges of approximately $0.5 million. The extinguishment charges are included in Other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, we incurred charges of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for amortization of fees and original issuance discount. Amortization of fees and original issuance discount are included in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
39
Cash Flows
Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2022 totaled $82.7 million, compared to using $13.1 million during the same period in 2021. Cash provided by operations during the current year period was the result of net income adjusted for various non-cash activities including depreciation, amortization, net gain on the sale of assets, deferred taxes, stock-based compensation, impairment, accretion of debt fees and discount, and a $20.9 million decrease in working capital. Changes in key working capital accounts for 2022 and 2021 are summarized below (in thousands):
| Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | Change | |||||||||||||||
| Source (Use) of cash: | |||||||||||||||||
| Accounts receivable | $ | (55,114) | $ | (25,758) | $ | (29,356) | |||||||||||

Accounts receivable increased $55.1 million in the first six months of 2022 as compared to a $25.8 million increase in the prior year period. Days sales outstanding, a measure of working capital efficiency that measures the amount of time a receivable is outstanding, was 32 days and 24 days for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable during the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to the increase in shipments from the prior year period as well as the timing of shipments and receipt of customer payments. Inventory increased by $67.7 million during the first six months of 2022 as compared to an increase of $89.7 million in the 2021 period. Our inventory turns, a commonly used measure of working capital efficiency that measures how quickly inventory turns per year, was approximately 6 times in the 2022 period and 6 times in the 2021 period. The increase in inventory for the 2022 period was primarily attributable to higher raw materials inventory to adjust to anticipated production for the remainder of 2022 as well as higher finished goods inventory. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $142.9 million in 2022 compared to an increase of $56.1 million for the same period in 2021. Days payable outstanding, a measure of working capital efficiency that measures the amount of time a payable is outstanding, was 49 days for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 39 days for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Investing activities used $20.9 million during the first six months of 2022, as compared to provided $9.9 million during the same period in 2021. Investing activities for the first six months of 2022 include capital expenditures of $22.4 million, which was an increase compared to $11.1 million during the same period in 2021. For the first six months of 2022, investing activities also included proceeds from the sale of assets of approximately $1.4 million. Proceeds from the sale of assets during the first six months of 2021 were approximately $21.0 million.
Financing activities provided $5.0 million during the first six months of 2022 as compared to using $78.5 million during the same period in 2021. Net cash provided by financing activities during the current year period primarily relates to borrowings under our Revolving Facility totaling $56.7 million, partially offset by principal, interest, and unused fee payments made under our Revolving Facility of $30.8 million, common stock repurchases and withholdings of $13.3 million, and cash dividend payments to our shareholders of $8.3 million. Net cash used in financing activities during the first six months of 2021 primarily relates to common stock repurchases and withholdings of $41.3 million, principal payments under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement totaling $30.0 million, and cash dividend payments to our shareholders of $8.4 million.
As of June 30, 2022, our liquidity position, defined as cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Facility, amounted to $298.1 million, representing a decrease of $6.2 million (or 2%) compared to June 30, 2021 and an increase of $40.1 million (or 16%) compared to December 31, 2021. Total debt obligations amounted to $459.0 million as of June 30, 2022. The increase in liquidity as of June 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 is primarily attributable to a higher cash balance partially offset by lower available capacity on the Revolving Credit Agreement. For the remainder of 2022, we expect to continue our commitment to fund our working capital requirements and capital expenditures, including our plans to add 20% more dry van manufacturing capacity beginning in 2023, which will be achieved by ramping down traditional refrigerated trailer capacity and converting the floor space to create additional dry van production. Along with the increased dry van manufacturing capacity, we will also maintain our assets to capitalize on any economic and/or industry upswings, while also responsibly returning capital to our shareholders. We will continue to move rapidly to adjust to the current environment to preserve the strength of our balance sheet, while prioritizing the safety of our employees and ensuring the liquidity and financial well-being of the Company.

Capital Expenditures
Capital spending amounted to approximately $22.4 million for the first six months of 2022, and we believe our capital expenditures for 2022 will be in the range of $80 to $90 million. In addition to the previously announced actions to retool our existing capacity to support expanded dry van production, capital spending for 2022 has been and is expected to be utilized to support maintenance and productivity improvement initiatives within our facilities.
Goodwill
As further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, beginning in September 2021 we realigned our operating and reportable segments. Based on these changes, we established two operating and reportable segments: TS and P&S. These operating segments have also been determined to be the applicable reporting units for purposes of goodwill assignment and evaluation. In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, we performed a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill immediately prior to and subsequently following the change in segments and reporting units. The quantitative analyses did not result in any impairment charges as the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. In addition, as part of the change in segment structure, we reassigned goodwill from the historical CTP, DPG, and FMP reporting units to the TS and P&S reporting units using a relative fair value allocation approach as required by the relevant accounting guidance.
As further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, during the second quarter of 2021 we sold our Extract Technology® (“Extract”) business that manufactured stainless steel isolators and downflow booths, as well as custom-fabricated equipment, including workstations and drum booths for the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, biotech, and nuclear end markets. Prior to the divestiture Extract was an operating unit within the historical DPG reporting unit. In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, as part of the sale we allocated $11.1 million of goodwill based upon the relative fair value of the Extract operating unit compared to the historical DPG reporting unit as a whole. This goodwill was included in the carrying value of the disposed assets and the resulting net gain recognized in connection with the sale. Prior to and subsequent to the divestiture, we performed an impairment assessment for the historical DPG reporting unit and concluded the fair value of the reporting unit continued to exceed the carrying value.
We considered whether there were any indicators of impairment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and concluded there were none.

1 Future interest payments on variable rate long-term debt are estimated based on the rate in effect as of June 30, 2022.
41
Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a variable rate based on the LIBOR or a base rate determined by the lender’s prime rate plus an applicable margin, as defined in the agreement. Any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate, at our election, equal to (i) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% or (ii) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, in each case depending upon the monthly average excess availability under the Revolving Facility. We are required to pay a monthly unused line fee equal to 0.20% times the average daily unused availability along with other customary fees and expenses of our agent and lenders. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, we repaid $30.0 million of principal under the Revolving Facility. As of June 30, 2022, there was $59.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility.
The Senior Notes due 2028 bear interest at the rate of 4.5% per annum from the date of issuance, payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15.
Operating leases represent the total future minimum lease payments that have commenced. As of June 30, 2022, obligations related to operating leases that the Company has executed but have not yet commenced totaled approximately $0.2 million on a non-discounted basis, which the Company generally expects to be recognized over the next three years.
We have standby letters of credit totaling $5.7 million issued in connection with workers compensation claims and surety bonds.
We have $90.3 million in purchase commitments through December 2022 for various raw material commodities, including aluminum, steel, polyethylene and nickel as well as other raw material components which are within normal production requirements.
We obtain most vehicle chassis for our specialized vehicle products directly from the chassis manufacturers under converter pool agreements. Chassis are obtained from the manufacturers based on orders from customers, and to a lesser extent, for unallocated orders. Although each manufacturer’s agreement has different terms and conditions, the agreements generally state that the manufacturer will provide a supply of chassis to be maintained from time to time at our various facilities with the condition that we will store such chassis and will not move, sell, or otherwise dispose of such chassis except under the terms of the agreement. The manufacturer transfers the chassis to us on a “restricted basis,” retaining the sole authority to authorize commencement of work on the chassis and to make certain other decisions with respect to the chassis including the terms and pricing of sales of the chassis to the manufacturer’s dealers. The manufacturer also does not transfer the certificate of origin to us nor permit us to sell or transfer the chassis to anyone other than the manufacturer (for ultimate resale to a dealer). Although we are party to related finance agreements with manufacturers, we have not historically settled, nor expect to in the future settle, any related obligations in cash. Instead, the obligation is settled by the manufacturer upon reassignment of the chassis to an accepted dealer, and the dealer is invoiced for the chassis by the manufacturer. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022 our outstanding chassis converter pool with the manufacturer totaled $11.2 million and we have included this financing agreement on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Prepaid expenses and other and Other accrued liabilities. All other chassis programs are handled as consigned inventory belonging to the manufacturer and totaled approximately $0.4 million. Under these agreements, if the chassis is not delivered to a customer within a specified time frame, we are required to pay a finance or storage charge on the chassis. Additionally, we receive finance support funds from manufacturers when the chassis are assigned into our chassis pool. Typically, chassis are converted and delivered to customers within 90 days of our receipt of the chassis.
Backlog
Orders that have been confirmed by customers in writing, have defined delivery time frames, and can be produced during the next 18 months are included in our backlog. Orders that comprise our backlog may be subject to changes in quantities, delivery, specifications, terms, or cancellation. Our backlog of orders was approximately $2,297 million at June 30, 2022, which is a 2% decrease from approximately $2,339 million at March 31, 2022 and a 71% increase from $1,342 million at June 30, 2021. The increase from Q2 2021 is primarily related to increased demand for our products in 2022. We believe our backlog of orders is strong and shows the strength of our customers’ businesses from first to final mile. We expect to complete the majority of our backlog orders as of June 30, 2022 within 12 months of this date.
Outlook
The trailer industry generally follows the transportation industry’s cycles. According to ACT Research Company (“ACT”), total United States trailer production in 2021 was approximately 267,000 trailers, a 30% increase from 2020’s softened demand that was worsened and magnified by the uncertainty and economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. While there remains some uncertainty of the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly around supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, the outlook for the overall trailer market is strong, and we believe our backlog of orders continues to provide a solid foundation for 2022. Current estimates from ACT and FTR Associations (“FTR”) for 2022 United States trailer production are 311,000 and 305,000, respectively, representing increases from 2021 of approximately 17% and 14%, respectively. These increases are generally in-line with our expectations due to strong 2022 demand throughout the industry. We believe that these estimates for production will remain above replacement demand over the next several years.
42
ACT is forecasting annual new trailer production levels for 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027 of approximately 318,000, 283,000, 305,000, 286,000, and 298,000, respectively. In addition, FTR is forecasting annual new trailer production levels of 330,000 and 310,000 for 2023 and 2024, respectively. While these estimates are more historically consistent production levels in the trailer industry, and in some cases higher, industry forecasters note that certain issues, such as continued supply chain disruptions and staffing challenges, could impact these estimates. We continue to believe we are well positioned to capitalize on strong demand in 2022 and beyond.
Other potential risks we face for 2022 primarily relate to our ability to effectively manage our manufacturing operations, including ongoing labor shortages, disruption of our supply chain, and our overall business with the increase in production to meet demand. In addition, the cost of raw materials, commodities, and components are also potential risks in 2022 with increased demand. Significant increases in the cost of certain commodities, raw materials or components have had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our results of operations. As has been our practice, we will endeavor to pass raw material and component price increases to our customers in addition to continuing our cost management and hedging activities in an effort to minimize the risk that changes in material costs could have on our operating results. In addition, we rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain key components and raw materials in the manufacturing of our products, including tires, landing gear, axles, suspensions, aluminum extrusions, chassis and specialty steel coil. At the current and expected demand levels, there may be additional or increased shortages of supplies of raw materials or components which would have an adverse impact on our ability to meet demand for our products. Despite these risks, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on strong overall demand levels while maintaining or growing margins through improvements in product pricing as well as productivity and other operational excellence initiatives.
For the remainder of 2022, we will continue to adjust to changes in the current environment, preserve the strength of our balance sheet, prioritize the safety of our employees, and ensure the liquidity and financial well-being of the Company. We believe we remain well-positioned for both near-term and long-term success in the trailer industry because: (1) our core customers are among the major participants in the trucking industry; (2) our technology and innovation provides value-added solutions for our customers by reducing trailer operating costs, improving revenue opportunities, and solving unique transportation problems; (3) our Wabash Management System (“WMS”) principles and processes and enterprise-wide lean efforts drive focus on the interconnected processes that are critical for success across our business; (4) our significant brand recognition, including our January 2022 rebranding as Wabash®, presence throughout North America, and the utilization of our extensive dealer network to market and sell our products; and (5) our One Wabash approach to create a consistent, superior experience for all customers who seek our solutions in the transportation, logistics, and distribution markets. By continuing to be the visionary leader in the transportation, logistics, and distribution industries we expect to leverage our existing assets and capabilities into higher margin products and markets by delivering value-added customer solutions.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have included a summary of our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to the summary provided in that report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we have exposure to financial and market risk resulting from volatility in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The following discussion provides additional detail regarding our exposure to these risks.
Commodity Prices
We are exposed to fluctuation in commodity prices through the purchase of various raw materials that are processed from commodities such as aluminum, steel, lumber, nickel, copper, and polyethylene. Given the historical volatility of certain commodity prices, this exposure can significantly impact product costs. We manage some of our commodity price changes by entering into fixed price contracts with our suppliers and through financial derivatives. To the extent that we are unable to offset the increased commodity costs in our product prices, our results would be materially and adversely affected. As of June 30, 2022, we had $90.3 million in raw material purchase commitments through December 2022 for materials that will be used in the production process, as compared to $129.6 million as of December 31, 2021. We typically do not set prices for our products more than 45-90 days in advance of our commodity purchases and can, subject to competitive market conditions, take into account the cost of the commodity in setting our prices for each order. As of June 30, 2022, a hypothetical ten percent change in commodity prices based on our raw material purchase commitments through December 2022 would result in a corresponding change in cost of goods sold over a one-year period of approximately $9.0 million. This sensitivity analysis does not account for the change in the competitive environment indirectly related to the change in commodity prices and the potential managerial action taken in response to these changes.
43
Interest Rates
As of June 30, 2022, we had $59.0 million of floating rate debt outstanding under our Revolving Facility. As further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, we repaid the outstanding balance in full under our New Term Loan Credit Agreement during the fourth quarter of 2021, which had a floating rate of interest. Based on the current borrowings under our Revolving Facility, a hypothetical 100 basis-point change in the floating interest rate would result in a corresponding change in interest expense over a one-year period of approximately $0.6 million. This sensitivity analysis does not account for the change in the competitive environment indirectly related to the change in interest rates and the potential managerial action taken in response to these changes.
Foreign Exchange Rates
We are subject to fluctuations in the Mexican peso exchange rates that impact transactions with our foreign subsidiaries, as well as U.S. denominated transactions between these foreign subsidiaries and unrelated parties. A ten percent change in the Mexican peso exchange rates would have an immaterial impact on results of operations. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) were effective as of June 30, 2022.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In August 2021, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional $150 million in shares of common stock over a three-year period. This authorization was an increase to the previous $100 million repurchase programs approved in November 2018, February 2017, and February 2016. The repurchase program is set to expire in August 2024. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 360,659 shares pursuant to our repurchase program. Additionally, during this period there were 851 shares repurchased to cover minimum employee tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock awards.
