Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Nature of Business |
All references to “Sypris,” the “Company,” “we” or “our” include Sypris Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Sypris is a diversified provider of truck components, oil and gas pipeline components and aerospace and defense electronics. The Company produces a wide range of manufactured products, often under multi-year, sole-source contracts. The Company offers such products through its

Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sypris Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The Company’s operations are domiciled in the United States (U.S.) and Mexico, and we serve a wide variety of domestic and international customers. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented, and the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the uncertainty with respect to developing these estimates and assumptions. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve and the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. Changes in facts and circumstances could have a significant impact on the resulting estimated amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Actual results for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2021 as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on certain financial instruments. This guidance introduces a new approach to estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. This guidance, which becomes effective January 1, 2023, is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
| (4) |
Leases |
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. The Company has entered into operating leases for real estate. These leases have initial terms which range from
Some leases may require variable lease payments based on factors specific to the individual agreements. Variable lease payments for which we are typically responsible include real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance expenses based on the Company’s pro-rata share, which are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability. Additionally, one of the Company’s real estate leases has lease payments that adjust based on annual changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The leases that are dependent upon CPI are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date and are included in the measurement of the lease liability. Incremental payments due to changes in the index are treated as variable lease costs and expensed as incurred.
These operating leases are included in “Operating lease right-of-use assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, and represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s obligations to make lease payments are included in “Operating lease liabilities, current portion” and “Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As of July 3, 2022, total right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were approximately $
We primarily use our incremental borrowing rate, which is updated quarterly, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. If readily available, we would use the implicit rate in a new lease to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company has certain contracts for real estate which may contain lease and non-lease components which it has elected to treat as a single lease component.
The Company has entered into various short-term operating leases, primarily for office equipment with an initial term of twelve months or less. Lease payments associated with short-term leases are expensed as incurred and are not recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. The related lease expense for short-term leases was not material for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022 and July 4, 2021.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers |
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised product or rendering a service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the product or service (the “transaction price”). The Company’s transaction price in its contracts with customers is generally fixed; no payment discounts, rebates or refunds are included within its contracts. The Company also does not provide service-type warranties nor does it allow customer returns. In connection with the sale of various parts to customers, the Company is subject to typical assurance warranty obligations covering the compliance of the electronics parts produced to agreed-upon specifications. Customer returns, when they occur, relate to quality rework issues and are not connected to any repurchase obligation of the Company.
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or render a service to a customer and is the unit of account to which the transaction price is allocated under ASC 606. When a contract contains multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to the individual performance obligations using the price at which the promised goods or services would be sold to customers on a standalone basis. For most sales within our Sypris Technologies segment and a portion of sales within Sypris Electronics, control transfers to the customer at a point in time. Indicators that control has transferred to the customer include the Company having a present right to payment, the customer obtaining legal title and the customer having the significant risks and rewards of ownership. The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point, or equivalent, and, as such, the Company primarily transfers control and records revenue for product sales upon shipment.
For contracts where Sypris Electronics serves as a contractor for aerospace and defense companies under federally funded programs, we generally recognize revenue over time as we perform because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contracts that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. Because control is transferred over time, revenue and gross profit is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. We use labor hours incurred as a measure of progress for these contracts because it best depicts the Company’s performance of the obligation to the customer, which occurs as we incur labor on our contracts. Under this measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of labor hours incurred to date to the total estimated labor hours at completion of the performance obligation.
Many of Sypris Electronics’ contractual arrangements with customers are for year or less. For the remaining population of non-cancellable contracts greater than year we had $

Contract Balances
Differences in the timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and deferred revenue, customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets.
Contract assets – Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts where revenue is recognized over time and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and the right to payment is subject to conditions other than the passage of time. Contract assets are generally classified as current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The balance of contract assets as of July 3, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $
Contract liabilities – Some of the Company’s contracts within Sypris Electronics are billed as work progresses in accordance with the contract terms and conditions, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of certain milestones. Often this results in billing occurring prior to revenue recognition resulting in contract liabilities. Additionally, the Company occasionally receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term in the consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. As of July 3, 2022, the contract liabilities balance was $
The Company recognized revenue from contract liabilities of $
Practical expedients and exemptions
Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with original expected lengths of one year or less.
| (6) | Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share |
The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Restricted stock granted by the Company is considered a participating security since it contains a non-forfeitable right to dividends.
Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our stock options and restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period. For the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, diluted weighted average common shares do not include the impact of any outstanding stock options and unvested compensation-related shares because the effect of these items on diluted net loss would be anti-dilutive. There were

The provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. The Company’s warranty liability, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of July 3, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $
The Company bears insurance risk as a member of a group captive insurance entity for certain general liability, automobile and workers’ compensation insurance programs, a self-insured worker’s compensation program and a self-insured employee health program. The Company records estimated liabilities for its insurance programs based on information provided by the third-party plan administrators, historical claims experience, expected costs of claims incurred but not paid, and expected costs to settle unpaid claims. The Company monitors its estimated insurance-related liabilities on a quarterly basis. As facts change, it may become necessary to make adjustments that could be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
The Company is involved in certain litigation and contract issues arising in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot, at this time, be predicted in light of the uncertainties inherent therein, management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. Additionally, the Company believes its product liability insurance is adequate to cover all potential liability claims.
The Company accounts for loss contingencies in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Estimated loss contingencies are accrued only if the loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. With respect to a particular loss contingency, it may be probable that a loss has occurred but the estimate of the loss is within a wide range or undeterminable. If the Company deems an amount within the range to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount will be accrued. However, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount of the range is accrued.
The Company has various current and previously-owned facilities subject to a variety of environmental regulations. The Company has received certain indemnifications from either companies previously owning these facilities or from purchasers of those facilities. Additionally, certain property previously sold by the Company has been designated as a Brownfield Site and has been approved for development by the purchaser. As of July 3, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
On December 27, 2017, the U.S. Department of Labor (the “DOL”) filed a lawsuit alleging that the Company had misinterpreted the language of its Company’s 401(k) Plans (collectively, the “Plan”). The DOL does not appear to dispute that the Company reached such interpretation in good faith and after consulting with independent ERISA counsel. On January 26, 2022, an opinion was issued by the judge indicating that certain of the Plan language in dispute is unambiguous and would therefore limit the Company’s right to interpret such language. On March 28, 2022, an opinion and order was issued by the judge that denied motions for summary judgement from the Company and the DOL and on April 28, 2022 the judge approved a revised schedule for the litigation proceedings. If the DOL’s allegations were upheld by a court, the Company could be required to make additional contributions into the accounts of its Plan participants and penalties payable to the DOL could be imposed. The Company believes that it has affirmative defenses and is continuing to vigorously defend the matter. We are currently unable to estimate a loss or range of loss for this matter.
On February 17, 2017, several employees (“Lucas Plaintiffs”) of KapStone Charleston Kraft, LLC filed a lawsuit in South Carolina alleging that they had been seriously burned when they opened a hinged closure and a hot tar-like material spilled out. Among other claims, the Lucas Plaintiffs allege that Sypris Technologies designed and manufactured the closure, that the closure was defective and that those defects had caused or contributed to their injuries. Sypris Technologies’ motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction was denied on February 28, 2020. The Company regards these allegations to be without merit and any potential damages to be undeterminable. As a result, we are currently unable to estimate a loss or range of loss for this matter at this time. The Company’s general liability insurer has accepted the defense costs. The Company is continuing to vigorously defend the matter.
In order to reduce manufacturing lead times, the Company enters into agreements with certain suppliers to produce inventory based on the Company’s requirements. A significant portion of the Company’s purchase commitments arising from these agreements consists of firm and non-cancelable commitments. These purchase commitments totaled $
| (12) | Income Taxes |
The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate varies from period to period due to the proportion of foreign and domestic pre-tax income expected to be generated by the Company. The Company provides for income taxes for its domestic operations at a statutory rate of
The Company recognizes liabilities or assets for the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). These temporary differences will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of assets or liabilities are recovered or settled. ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company evaluates its deferred tax position on a quarterly basis and valuation allowances are provided as necessary. During this evaluation, the Company reviews its forecast of income in conjunction with other positive and negative evidence surrounding the realizability of its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is needed.
Based on the Company’s consideration of all positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations, the Company has established a valuation allowance against all U.S. deferred tax assets. Until an appropriate level and characterization of profitability is attained, the Company expects to continue to maintain a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to future U.S. tax benefits.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at their carrying amount which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of debt outstanding at July 3, 2022 approximates fair value, and is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments (Level 2).
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
We are a diversified provider of truck components, oil and gas pipeline components and aerospace and defense electronics. We offer a wide range of manufactured products, often under multi-year sole-source contracts.
We are organized into two business segments, Sypris Technologies and Sypris Electronics. Sypris Technologies, which is comprised of Sypris Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, generates revenue primarily from the sale of forged, machined, welded and heat-treated steel components primarily for the heavy commercial vehicle and high-pressure energy pipeline applications. Sypris Electronics, which is comprised of Sypris Electronics, LLC, generates revenue primarily through circuit card and full “box build” manufacturing, high reliability manufacturing, systems assembly and integration, design for manufacturability and design to specification work.
We focus on those markets where we believe we have the expertise, qualifications and leadership position to sustain a competitive advantage. We target our resources to support the needs of industry participants that embrace technological innovation and flexibility, coupled with multi-year contractual relationships, as a strategic component of their supply chain management. These contracts, many of which are sole-source by part number, have historically created opportunities to invest in leading-edge processes or technologies to help our customers remain competitive. The productivity and innovation that can result from such investments helps to differentiate us from our competition when it comes to cost, quality, reliability and customer service.
Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position in 2020 and 2021, and in the first half of 2022. We have also continued to experience various degrees of supply chain challenges in the first half of 2022, including increased lead times for raw materials due to availability constraints and high demand. While we have elevated our engagement with our suppliers and used secondary suppliers and new methods of procurement where available to mitigate the supply chain pressures, we expect supply chain challenges to continue throughout 2022.
In connection with the supply chain challenges described above, we have experienced inflationary increases of certain raw materials, as well as logistics, transportation, utilities and labor costs. While we have taken pricing actions and we strive for productivity improvements that could help offset these inflationary cost increases, we expect inflationary cost increases to continue throughout 2022.
Sypris Technologies Outlook
Demand in the North American Class 4-8 commercial vehicle market began to recover in the second half of 2020 following an anticipated market decline in the first half of 2020 that was deepened by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Market conditions have improved since then for commercial vehicles in addition to the automotive, sport utility vehicle and off-highway markets served by Sypris Technologies. While there is growing evidence of a slowing North American economy, the outlook for the remainder of 2022 for the commercial vehicle market indicates strong demand with Class 8 production expected to be up 15% over 2021 due to pent-up demand, capacity shortfalls and carrier profitability. Additionally, we believe that the market diversification Sypris Technologies has accomplished over recent years by adding new programs in the automotive, sport-utility and off-highway markets has benefited and will continue to benefit the Company as demand for our products in these markets has experienced less volatility than the Class 8 commercial vehicle market.
Reduced travel, business closures, and other economic impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic suppressed oil and natural gas demand, which had adversely impacted the oil and gas markets served by our Tube Turns® brand of engineered product lines. This caused major pipeline developers to significantly scale back near-term capital investments in new pipeline infrastructure, which resulted in reduced demand for our products for the oil and gas markets during 2021 and the first half of 2022. Sales in this market are dependent on, among other things, the level of worldwide oil and gas drilling, the price of crude oil and natural gas and capital spending by exploration and production companies and drilling contractors. The U.S. land average rig count continues to be below pre-pandemic levels, but rose 13% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2022. As commodity prices improve and activity increases, we currently expect customer demand in this market to increase in 2022 compared to 2021. However, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has led to disruption, instability and volatility in global markets and industries that could negatively impact our operations.
We will continue to pursue new business in a wide variety of markets from light automotive to new energy related product lines to achieve a more balanced portfolio across our customers, markets and products.
Sypris Electronics Outlook
As noted above, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to cause business impacts in the first half of 2022 including supply chain challenges and delays. The majority of the government aerospace and defense programs that we support require specific components that are sole-sourced to specific suppliers; therefore, the resolution of supplier constraints requires coordination with our customers or the end-users of the products. We have partnered with our customers to qualify alternative components or suppliers and will continue to focus on our supply chain to attempt to mitigate the impact of supply component shortages on our business. Electronic component shortages may continue to be a challenge during the remainder of 2022. We may not be successful in addressing these shortages and other supply chain issues.
During 2021 and the first half of 2022, we announced new program awards for Sypris Electronics, with certain programs continuing into 2024. In addition to contract awards from Department of Defense (“DoD”) prime contractors related to weapons systems, electronic warfare and infrared countermeasures in our traditional aerospace and defense markets, we have also been awarded subcontracts related to the communication and navigation markets, which align with our advanced capabilities for delivering products for complex, high cost of failure platforms.
On March 15, 2022, President Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, providing annual funding for the DoD and other government departments and agencies. The appropriation provided $781 billion for national defense, which includes the DoD, Department of Energy (DoE) nuclear weapons-related activities, and the national security activities of the Coast Guard, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and others. The DoD portion was $742.3 billion, $25 billion more than the President’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 request. Additionally, the legislation included $13.6 billion in supplemental funding to support Ukraine, including $3.5 billion for defense articles and $650 million in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) for Ukraine and other Eastern European allies. An additional $40 billion in emergency supplemental appropriations was approved by Congress in May 2022.
On March 28, 2022, President Biden’s Administration submitted to Congress the President’s FY 2023 budget request, which proposes $813 billion for national defense. The DoD portion of this request is $773 billion, a 4% increase above the FY 2022 enacted amount. On July 18, 2022, the Senate Armed Services Committee released its annual defense bill, which authorizes $847 billion in defense spending, an increase over President Biden’s Administration’s budget request. It is difficult to predict the specific course of future defense budgets. However, we believe the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has highlighted some of the national security threats to our nation and our allies, and the need for strong deterrence and a robust defense capability, as well as impacting our political and economic environment. More generally, the threat to U.S. national security remains very substantial and we believe that our capabilities should help our customers defend against current and future threats and, as a result, continue to allow for long-term profitable business growth.
We expect to compete for follow-on business opportunities as a subcontractor on future builds of several existing government programs. However, the federal budget and debt ceiling are expected to continue to be the subject of considerable uncertainty and the impact on demand for our products and services and our business are difficult to predict.

Results of Operations
The tables below compare our segment and consolidated results for the three and six month periods of operations of 2022 to the three and six month periods of operations of 2021. The tables present the results for each period, the change in those results from 2021 to 2022 in both dollars and percentage change and the results for each period as a percentage of net revenue.
| ● |
The first two columns in each table show the absolute results for each period presented. |
| ● |
The columns entitled “Year Over Year Change” and “Year Over Year Percentage Change” show the change in results, both in dollars and percentages. These two columns show favorable changes as positive and unfavorable changes as negative. For example, when our net revenue increases from one period to the next, that change is shown as a positive number in both columns. Conversely, when expenses increase from one period to the next, that change is shown as a negative number in both columns. |
| ● |
The last two columns in each table show the results for each period as a percentage of net revenue. In these two columns, the cost of sales and gross profit for each are given as a percentage of that segment’s net revenue. These amounts are shown in italics. |
In addition, as used in the table, “NM” means “not meaningful.”

Net Revenue. Sypris Technologies derives its revenue from the sale of forged and finished steel components and subassemblies and high-pressure closures and other fabricated products. Net revenue for Sypris Technologies for the three and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022 increased $0.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively, from the prior year comparable periods. The comparison of net revenue for the three and six month periods includes price adjustments for increases in the market price of steel over the past year, which is contractually passed through to customers under certain contracts. The steel price adjustments totaled approximately $1.3 million and $2.4 million for the three and six month periods, respectively. The increase is partially offset by lower shipment volume to the commercial vehicle market. Production of Class 8 commercial vehicles in North America continues to be impacted by supply chain constraints unrelated to the availability of the drive axle shafts and other components we manufacture. This in turn has trickled down into our shipment volume, as our customers adjust their inventory levels to align with the end market build rates. Higher shipments of automotive, sport utility and energy components contributed to the revenue increase for the comparable six month periods.
Sypris Electronics derives its revenue primarily from circuit card and full “box build” manufacturing, high reliability manufacturing and systems assembly and integration. Net revenue for Sypris Electronics increased $2.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, from the prior year comparable periods. The increase in revenue for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022 was primarily related to the ramping of production during the year for two follow-on programs that began shipments during the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, the prior year was impacted by material availability, as receipts of a limited number of specific parts necessary to complete the build of products were delayed or, in other instances, required us to resource and obtain alternative parts or use alternative suppliers. While certain programs continue to be impacted by material availability during the current year, the impact has been less significant than in the prior year.
Gross Profit. Sypris Technologies’ gross profit decreased $0.4 million and increased $1.6 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, respectively, from the prior year comparable periods. Revenue mix was slightly unfavorable for the three months ended July 3, 2022 contributing to the decrease in gross profit. Variable manufacturing costs also increased during the current year as inflationary pressure increased spend for consumable supplies and tooling, and natural gas and electricity rates increased from the prior year. The gross profit variance for both the three and six month periods also includes additional costs incurred during 2022 to support the increase in demand driven by the commercial vehicle market anticipated over the balance of 2022 and 2023. For the six months ended July 3, 2022, increased revenue from our higher value add components for the sport utility, automotive and energy markets contributed to the increase in gross profit.
Sypris Electronics’ gross profit decreased $0.2 million and increased $0.6 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, respectively, from the prior year comparable periods. The decrease in gross profit for the three months ended July 3, 2022 was primarily a result of lower margins on new programs ramping during the period compared to margins on mature programs completed during 2021. Additional engineering costs were also incurred in 2022 on certain programs that have not yet reached full rate production. The increase in gross profit for the six months ended July 3, 2022 was primarily a result of the increase in revenue, which also had a positive impact on overhead absorption. The order backlog for Sypris Electronics is expected to support a stable revenue rate during the balance of 2022.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily as a result of a reinstatement of compensation for our Chairman, President and CEO and certain other senior leadership and corporate personnel and our Board of Directors, which had been reduced in 2020 across the Company amid the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased as a percentage of revenue to 12.9% for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, respectively from 13.2% and 13.7% for the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, respectively.
Forgiveness of PPP Loan and related interest. On June 28, 2021, the Company received notice from BMO Harris Bank National Association (“BMO”) that BMO had received confirmation from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) that the Company’s application for forgiveness of a loan in the amount of $3.6 million (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to expansion of the SBA 7(a) loan program, established under the CARES Act had been approved. The loan forgiveness request in the amount of $3.6 million was applied to the Company’s entire outstanding PPP Loan balance with BMO. During the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, the Company recorded a gain on the forgiveness of the PPP Loan and accrued interest in the amount of $3.6 million.
Income Taxes. The Company’s income tax expense for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022 and July 4, 2021 consists primarily of foreign income taxes on its Mexican subsidiaries.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined separately for each tax jurisdiction in which we conduct our operations or otherwise incur taxable income or losses. The Company evaluates its deferred tax position on a quarterly basis and valuation allowances are provided as necessary. During this evaluation, the Company reviews its forecast of income in conjunction with other positive and negative evidence surrounding the realizability of its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is needed. Based on its current forecast, the Company has established a valuation allowance against all U.S. deferred tax assets. Until an appropriate level and characterization of profitability is attained, the Company expects to continue to maintain a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to future U.S. tax benefits. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to reduce the valuation allowance would increase net income in the period that such determination is made.
Liquidity, Capital Resources
Cash Balance. As of July 3, 2022, we had approximately $7.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $3.6 million was held in jurisdictions outside of the U.S. that, if repatriated, could result in withholding taxes.
We have projected that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to allow us to continue operations for the next 12 months. Significant changes from our current forecasts, including, but not limited to: (i) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and changes in worldwide and U.S. economic conditions (ii) meaningful shortfalls in projected revenue or sales proceeds from underutilized or non-core equipment, (iii) unexpected costs or expenses, (iv) operating difficulties which cause unexpected delays in scheduled shipments, and/or (v) inflation, could require us to seek additional funding or force us to make further reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible and/or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm our business, results of operations and future prospects.
Material Cash Requirements
Gill Family Capital Management Note. The Company has received the benefit of cash infusions from GFCM in the form of secured promissory note obligations totaling $6.5 million in principal as of July 3, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (the “Note”). GFCM is an entity controlled by the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey T. Gill and one of our directors, R. Scott Gill. GFCM, Jeffrey T. Gill and R. Scott Gill are significant beneficial stockholders of the Company. As of July 3, 2022, our principal commitment under the Note was $2.5 million due on April 1, 2023, $2.0 million on April 1, 2024 and the balance on April 1, 2026. Interest on the Note is reset on April 1 of each year, at the greater of 8.0% or 500 basis points above the five-year Treasury note average during the preceding 90-day period, in each case, payable quarterly. The Note allows for up to an 18-month deferral of payment for up to 60% of the interest due on the portion of the notes maturing in April of 2023 and 2024.
Finance Lease Obligations. As of July 3, 2022, the Company had $4.0 million outstanding under finance lease obligations for both property and machinery and equipment at its Sypris Technologies locations with maturities through 2025 and a weighted average interest rate of 8.5%.
Equipment Financing Obligations. As of July 3, 2022, the Company had $1.0 million outstanding under equipment financing facilities, with fixed interest rates ranging from 4.4% to 8.1% and payments due through 2026.
Purchase Commitments. We had purchase commitments totaling approximately $61.9 million at July 3, 2022, primarily for inventory and manufacturing equipment, which are due through 2025.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $2.0 million in the first six months of 2022 as compared to cash provided of $8.6 million in the same period of 2021. The aggregate increase in accounts receivable in 2022 resulted in a usage of cash of $1.2 million as a result of the increase in revenue for Sypris Technologies and Sypris Electronics over the prior year comparable period. Accrued and other liabilities decreased during the first six months of 2022, resulting in a use of cash of $3.9 million, primarily as a result of a decrease in contract liabilities. Inventory decreased during the period, providing a source of cash of $0.7 million. Additionally, there was an increase in accounts payable during the first six months of 2022, providing a source of cash of $0.8 million. Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased during the first six months of 2022 resulting in a cash use of $0.8 million primarily as a result of increased capitalized costs associated with programs in the startup phase of production at Sypris Electronics.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.8 million for the first six months of 2022 as compared to $1.2 million for the first six months of 2021. Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2022 was comprised of capital expenditures of $1.8 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2021 was comprised of capital expenditures of $1.2 million.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $0.7 million for the first six months of 2022 as compared to $0.7 million for the first six months of 2021. Net cash used in financing activities in the first six months of 2022 included principal payments on finance leases and equipment financing obligations of $0.6 million and payments of $0.1 million for minimum statutory tax withholdings on stock based compensation. Net cash used in financing activities in the first six months of 2021 included principal payments on finance leases and equipment financing obligations of $0.3 million and payments of $0.4 million for minimum statutory tax withholdings on stock based compensation.
Critical Accounting Policies
See the information concerning our critical accounting policies included under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the six months ended July 3, 2022.
Forward-looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our other oral or written communications, may contain “forward-looking” statements. These statements may include our expectations or projections about the future of our business, industries, business strategies, prospects, potential acquisitions, liquidity, financial condition or financial results and our views about developments beyond our control, including domestic or global economic conditions, including inflation, supply chain conditions, government spending, industry trends and market developments. These statements are based on management’s views and assumptions at the time originally made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update these statements, even if, for example, they remain available on our website after those views and assumptions have changed. There can be no assurance that our expectations, projections or views will come to pass, and undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements.
A number of significant factors could materially affect our specific business operations and cause our performance to differ materially from any future results projected or implied by our prior statements. Many of these factors are identified in connection with the more specific descriptions contained throughout this report. Other factors which could also materially affect such future results currently include: our failure to achieve and maintain profitability on a timely basis by steadily increasing our revenues from profitable contracts with a diversified group of customers, which would cause us to continue to use existing cash resources or require us to sell assets to fund operating losses; our failure to successfully complete final contract negotiations with regard to our announced contract “orders”, “wins” or “awards”; dependence on, retention or recruitment of key employees and highly skilled personnel and distribution of our human capital; cost, quality and availability or lead times of raw materials such as steel, component parts (especially electronic components), natural gas or utilities including increased cost relating to inflation; our failure to successfully win new business or develop new or improved products or new markets for our products; breakdowns, relocations or major repairs of machinery and equipment, especially in our Toluca Plant; volatility of our customers’ forecasts especially in the commercial truck markets and our contractual obligations to meet current scheduling demands and production levels (especially in our Toluca Plant), which may negatively impact our operational capacity and our effectiveness to integrate new customers or suppliers, and in turn cause increases in our inventory and working capital levels; the fees, costs and supply of, or access to, debt, equity capital, or other sources of liquidity; the impact of COVID-19 and economic conditions on our future operations; possible public policy response to the pandemic, including U. S or foreign government legislation or restrictions that may impact our operations or supply chain; the cost, quality, timeliness, efficiency and yield of our operations and capital investments, including the impact of inflation, tariffs, product recalls or related liabilities, employee training, working capital, production schedules, cycle times, scrap rates, injuries, wages, overtime costs, freight or expediting costs; the termination or non-renewal of existing contracts by customers; inaccurate data about markets, customers or business conditions; disputes or litigation involving governmental, supplier, customer, employee, creditor, stockholder, product liability, warranty or environmental claims; our reliance on a few key customers, third party vendors and sub-suppliers; inventory valuation risks including excessive or obsolescent valuations or price erosions of raw materials or component parts on hand or other potential impairments, non-recoverability or write-offs of assets or deferred costs; failure to adequately insure or to identify product liability, environmental or other insurable risks; unanticipated or uninsured product liability claims, disasters, public health crises, losses or business risks; the costs of compliance with our auditing, regulatory or contractual obligations; labor relations; strikes; union negotiations; costs associated with environmental claims relating to properties previously owned; pension valuation, health care or other benefit costs; our inability to patent or otherwise protect our inventions or other intellectual property from potential competitors; adverse impacts of new technologies or other competitive pressures which increase our costs or erode our margins; our reliance on revenues from customers in the oil and gas and automotive markets, with increasing consumer pressure for reductions in environmental impacts attributed to greenhouse gas emissions and increased vehicle fuel economy; U.S. government spending on products and services that Sypris Electronics provides, including the timing of budgetary decisions; changes in licenses, security clearances, or other legal rights to operate, manage our work force or import and export as needed; risks of foreign operations; currency exchange rates; inflation; war, geopolitical conflict, terrorism, or political uncertainty, including disruptions resulting from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine arising out of international sanctions, foreign currency fluctuations and other economic impacts; cyber security threats and disruptions, including ransomware attacks on our systems and the systems of third-party vendors and other parties with which we conduct business, all of which may become more pronounced in the event of geopolitical conflicts and other uncertainties, such as the conflict in Ukraine; our ability to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing standards minimum closing bid price; risks related to owning our common stock, including increased volatility; or unknown risks and uncertainties and the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K and thus are not required to provide the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk specified in Item 305 of Regulation S-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) required by Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
| Part II. |
Other Information |
| Item 1 |
Legal Proceedings |
Groundwater and other contamination has occurred at certain of our current and former facilities during the operation of those facilities by their former owners, and this contamination may occur at future facilities we operate or acquire. There is no assurance that environmental indemnification agreements we have secured from the former owners of certain of these properties will be adequate to protect us from liability. No administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to these or any other environmental regulations or conditions are pending against the Company or known by the Company to be contemplated by government authorities.
The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, there was not at least a reasonable possibility the Company may have incurred a material loss, or a material loss in excess of a recorded accrual, with respect to loss contingencies for these other asserted legal and other claims. However, the outcome of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company is subject to significant uncertainty. In addition, there may be other potential claims, liabilities, materials or design defects, or other customer complaints that have not been asserted, but which could adversely impact us in the future. Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, if one or more of these other legal matters or potential matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.
The information set forth in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.
