NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT S

(Unaudited - In Millions, Except Per Share Data)

 

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown are of a normal recurring nature and have been reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period. The information included in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the KLX Inc. (the “Company” or “KLX”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation . The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this update will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases, and creates a new topic, ASC Topic 842, Leases. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months on its balance sheet. The update also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. ASU 2016-02 will be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition . The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should identify the contract(s) with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date . The amendments in this update deferred the effective date for implementation of ASU 2014-09 by one year and is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that period.  In April 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and

6


 

Licensing , and in May 2016, ASU 2016-12, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients both of which provide supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 must be adopted concurrently with the adoption of ASU 2014-09. The Company has not determined the impact this guidance will have on the financial statements.  However, the identification of implementation project team members and the inventorying of contracts with customers, particularly large customer contracts, has begun. Other than increased disclosures, the impact of the revised accounting guidance to the results of operations and cash flows of the Company cannot be determined until the assessment process is complete.

 

 

 

Note 3. Business Combinations

 

On May 17, 2016, the Company acquired Herndon Aerospace & Defense LLC (“Herndon”), an aftermarket aerospace supply chain management and consumables hardware distributor servicing principally aftermarket military depots as well as the commercial aerospace aftermarket for an aggregate purchase price of $220.8 (net of cash acquired). During the quarter ended October 31, 2016, Herndon’s acquired working capital was finalized resulting in a reduction in purchase price of $0.7 and customary working capital adjustments as of the closing date which were not material individually or in the aggregate. Additionally, the Company adjusted the allocation of the Herndon purchase price to increase intangible assets by $16.4 and decrease goodwill and inventories by $14.2 and $3.0, respectively, related to the Company’s preliminary purchase price allocation. The impact of the purchase price adjustment to the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of earnings from the date of acquisition was not material.

 

Based on the Company’s preliminary purchase price allocation, the excess of the purchase price of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired approximated $113.6, of which $68.9 was allocated to identifiable intangible assets consisting of customer contracts and relationships and covenants not to compete, and $44.7 is included in goodwill. The useful life assigned to the customer contracts and relationships is 20 years, and the covenants not to compete are being amortized over their contractual periods of five years.

 

The Herndon acquisition was accounted for as a purchase under FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2016 and the results of operations are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income from the date of acquisition. The valuation of certain assets, principally intangible assets and inventories, is not yet complete, and as such, the Company has not yet finalized its allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition.

 

The following table summarizes the current estimates of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Herndon acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, which are currently recorded based on management’s estimates as follows:

On a pro forma basis to give effect to the Herndon acquisition as if it occurred on February 1, 2015, revenues, net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per diluted share for the three months ended October 31, 2015 and the nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015 were:

The Company has begun integrating Herndon into its Aerospace Solutions Group (“ASG”) segment systems. As a result, it is not practicable to report stand-alone operating earnings of the acquired business since the acquisition date, and going forward it will not be practicable to report stand-alone revenues of the acquired business. Revenues from Herndon from the acquisition date of May 17, 2016 through October 31, 2016 were $56.7.

 

 

Note 4. Inventories

 

Inventories, made up of finished goods, consist primarily of aerospace fasteners and consumables. The Company values inventories at the lower of cost or market, using first‑in, first‑out or weighted average cost method. The Company reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on historical demand, estimated product demand to support contractual supply agreements with its customers and the age of the inventory, among other factors. Demand for the Company’s products can fluctuate from period to period depending on customer activity.   In accordance with industry practice, inventories include amounts relating to long-term contracts with long production cycles, some of which are not expected to be realized within one year. In addition, the Company supports a substantial portion of the global fleet of aircraft in service, and in its capacity as a stocking distributor will acquire and hold inventories for aircraft maintenance at periodic intervals as mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) or similar regulatory agencies. Based on historical experience, the support of the aftermarket activities with products such as those which the Company sells will necessitate holding inventory in excess of the amount required to support new build production activity contracts.  Obsolescence has historically been immaterial for the Company due to the long life of an aircraft and nature of the products sold by the Company. Inventory with a limited shelf life is continually monitored and reserved for in advance of expiration. The annual provision for inventory with limited shelf life has historically been immaterial. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory were approximately $47.8   and $40.4 as of October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively.

Amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets was approximately $4.8 and $5.8 for the three months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $14.7 and $19.1 for the nine

8


 

months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company currently expects to recognize amortization expense of approximately $20.0 in each of the next five fiscal years (primarily related to our ASG business). The future amortization amounts are estimates. Actual future amortization expense may be different due to finalization of purchase price allocations of acquisitions, future acquisitions, impairments, changes in amortization periods or other factors such as changes in exchange rates for assets acquired outside the United States. The Company expenses costs to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset.  Goodwill increased by $38.4 as compared to January 31, 2016 primarily as a result of the May 17, 2016 acquisition of Herndon by the ASG segment.

 

The fair value of the ASG reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by approximately 16% as of December 31, 2015, and approximately $993.3 of goodwill has been allocated to the ASG reporting unit as of October 31, 2016. ASG's cash flow projections were a significant input into the December 31, 2015 reporting unit fair value. Should ASG’s future cash from operations decline to levels inconsistent with ASG’s projected results, long-term projections may be adjusted downward, which could result in an impairment charge at the ASG reporting unit.

 

Note 6. Related Party Transactions

 

On December 17, 2014, B/E Aerospace, Inc. ( “B/E Aerospace”) created an independent public company through a spin-off of its ASG and Energy Services Group (“ESG”) businesses to B/E Aerospace’s stockholders (“Spin-Off”).  Following the Spin-Off, the Company created in-house substantially all of the functions that were previously provided to it by B/E Aerospace. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with B/E Aerospace relating to transition services and IT services for a transitional period of approximately 24 months following the Spin-Off. In addition, the Company entered into an employee matters agreement and a tax sharing and indemnification agreement with B/E Aerospace in connection with the Spin-Off. This transitional support enables KLX to establish its stand-alone processes for various activities that were previously provided by B/E Aerospace and does not constitute significant continuing support of KLX’s operations. Expenses incurred under those agreements totaled $2.1 and $2.7 for the three months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $7.1 and $8.8 for the nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of October 31, 2016, the Company has recorded a tax indemnity payable to B/E Aerospace totaling $4.7, of which $0.1 is classified in other current liabilities and $4.6 is classified in other long term liabilities.

 

Sales to B/E Aerospace were $5.4 and $5.1 for the three months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $18.6 and $14.4 for the nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 8. Long-Term Debt

 

As of October 31, 2016, long-term debt consisted of $1,200.0 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2022 (the “5.875% Notes”). On a net basis, after taking into consideration the debt issue costs for the Term Loan Facility, total debt was $1,181.3.  As of October 31, 2016, the Company also had a $750.0 undrawn secured revolving credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement dated as of December 16, 2014 and amended and restated on May 19, 2015 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

9


 

 

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) plus the applicable margin (as defined).  No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of October 31, 2016.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility is tied to a borrowing base formula and has no maintenance financial covenants.  This Revolving Credit Facility matures in May 2020. The credit agreement is collateralized by the Company’s assets and contains customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants, restrictions on the payment of dividends and the repurchase of our stock, and conditions precedent for borrowings, all of which were met as of October 31, 2016.

 

Letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility aggregated $4.8 and $3.2 at October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

 

All short-term financial instruments are generally carried at amounts that approximate estimated fair value. The fair value is the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. Assets measured at fair value are categorized based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations.

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 2 – quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (which the Company classifies as Level 1 assets), accounts receivable – trade and accounts payable represent their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. There was no debt outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of October 31, 2016. The fair value of the Company’s 5.875% Notes, based on market prices for publicly-traded debt (which the Company classifies as Level 2 inputs), was $1,218.2 and $1,136.4 as of October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Note 10. Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Lease Commitments - The Company finances its use of certain facilities and equipment under committed lease arrangements provided by various institutions. Since the terms of these arrangements meet the accounting definition of operating lease arrangements, the aggregate sum of future minimum lease payments is not reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At October 31, 2016, future minimum lease payments under these arrangements approximated $90.9, the majority of which related to long-term real estate leases.

 

Litigation - The Company is a defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management, neither individually nor in the aggregate are likely to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees - During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease and indemnities to other parties to certain acquisition agreements. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in

10


 

certain cases, is indefinite. Many of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees provide for limitations on the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. However, the Company is unable to estimate the maximum amount of liability related to its indemnities, commitments and guarantees because such liabilities are contingent upon the occurrence of events that are not reasonably determinable. Management believes that any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees would not be material to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no significant amounts have been accrued for indemnities, commitments and guarantees.

The Company has employment agreements with three year initial terms, which renew for one additional year on each anniversary date, with certain key members of management. The Company’s employment agreements generally provide for certain protections in the event of a change of control. These protections generally include the payment of severance and related benefits under certain circumstances in the event of a change of control.

 

Note 11. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) under which the Company’s Compensation Committee has the authority to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other forms of equity-based or equity-related awards.

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation , whereby share-based compensation cost is measured on the date of grant, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the requisite service period.

 

Compensation cost recognized during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015 related to KLX restricted stock and stock options was $4.8 and $3.5, and $14.3 and $10.6, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to these grants was $32.5 at October 31, 2016.

 

KLX has established a qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the terms of which allow for qualified employees (as defined in the Plan) to participate in the purchase of designated shares of KLX’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the closing price on the last business day of each semi annual stock purchase period. The fair value of employee purchase rights represents the difference between the closing price of KLX’s shares on the date of purchase and the purchase price of the shares. Compensation cost for this plan was not material to any of the periods presented.

 

Note 12. Segment Reporting

 

The Company is organized based on the products and services it offers. The Company’s reportable segments which are also its operating segments, are comprised of ASG and ESG. The segments regularly report their results of operations and make requests for capital expenditures and acquisition funding to the Company’s chief operational decision-making group (“CODM”). This group is comprised of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the President and Chief Operating Officer. As a result, the CODM has determined the Company has two reportable segments.

Note 13. Net Earnings Per Common Share

 

Basic net earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per common share is computed by using the weighted average common shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of stock options, shares issued under the KLX LTIP and restricted shares based on an average share price during the period. For the three months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 0.4 and no shares and for the nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 0.3 and no shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, were excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per common share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

Note 14. Income Taxes

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes , the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. As of October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $12.3 and $10.3, respectively, of uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest of $1.7 and $1.1 at October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. During the quarter, the Company determined that certain loss carryforwards, previously reserved in the Company’s valuation allowance, would no longer require a reserve as we realized a one-time benefit from our ongoing tax planning initiatives. The release of valuation allowance with respect to these loss carryforwards resulted in a tax benefit for the quarter. The tax benefit netted against the Company’s tax expense on book income for the quarter, which resulted in no tax expense for the quarter.

 

As a result, the Company now expects an effective tax rate of approximately 27.5% for the year ending January 31, 2017. 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement with our former parent, B/E Aerospace, the Company may be liable for income tax in certain foreign jurisdictions arising from the examination of tax years during which the Company was part of the B/E Group.  The statute of limitations in these foreign jurisdictions is open for tax years 2007-2015. The Company is currently undergoing a U.S. federal income tax examination for the period from December 17, 2014 through December 31, 2015.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION S

(In Millions, Except Per Share Data)

 

The following discussion and analysis addresses the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016 as compared to our results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015. In addition, the discussion and analysis addresses our liquidity, financial condition and other matters for these periods.

 

We believe, based on our experience in the industry, that we are a leading distributor and value‑added service provider of aerospace fasteners and consumables, and that we offer one of the broadest ranges of aerospace hardware, consumables and inventory management services worldwide. Founded in 1974 as M&M Aerospace Hardware, our Aerospace Solutions Group (“ASG”), formerly the consumables management segment of B/E Aerospace, has evolved into an industry leader through multiple acquisitions and strong organic growth. As of January 31, 2016, ASG’s global presence consisted of more than 1.4 million square feet in 17 principal facilities with approximately 1,900 employees worldwide. We have substantially expanded the size, scope and nature of our business as a result of a number of acquisitions. B/E Aerospace acquired M&M in 2001. Between 2002 and 2012, we completed six acquisitions, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.9 billion. We believe our organic growth together with these acquisitions enabled us to position ourselves as a preferred global supplier to our customers. We believe we have become an industry leader providing aerospace fasteners, consumable products and supply chain management services. Through our global facilities network and advanced information technology systems, we believe we offer unparalleled service to commercial airlines, business jet and defense original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) operators, and fixed base operators (“FBOs”). We have a large and diverse global customer base, including commercial airlines, business jet and defense OEMs, OEM subcontractors and major MRO operators across five continents, we provide access to over one million stock keeping units (“SKUs”). We serve as a distributor for every major aerospace fastener manufacturer. In order to support our vast range of custom products and services, we have invested over $100 in proprietary IT systems to create a superior technology platform. Our systems support both internal distribution processes and part attributes, along with customer services, including just-in-time (“JIT”) deliveries and kitting solutions. In addition, through the acquisition of Herndon Aerospace & Defense LLC (“Herndon”) in May 2016 for $220.8 net of cash acquired, we expanded our capability to provide comprehensive supply chain management solutions to a broader portfolio of aftermarket customers. Herndon has established itself within the Department of Defense and its procurement arm, the Defense Logistics Agency, as a proven supplier of a broad range of consumables resulting in a number of long-term contracts with major military installations. We believe Herndon’s unique land-based military depot aftermarket product distribution platform will serve as an excellent new growth platform for ASG. The aforementioned operating business is operated within our ASG segment.

 

ASG also provides certain supply chain management services to certain of its customers. These services include the timely replenishment of products at the customer site, while also minimizing the customer’s on-hand inventory. These services are provided by ASG contemporaneously with the delivery of the product, and as such, once the product is delivered, ASG does not have a post-delivery obligation to provide services to the customer. The price of such services is generally included in the price of the products delivered to the customer, and revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product, at which point, ASG has satisfied its obligations to the customer. We do not account for these services as a separate element, as the services do not have stand-alone value and cannot be separated from the product element of the arrangement.

 

In 2013, we initiated an expansion into the energy services sector. During 2013 and 2014, we acquired seven companies engaged in the business of providing technical services and related rental equipment to oil and gas exploration and production companies. As a result, we now provide a broad range of solutions and equipment, which bring value‑added resources to a new customer base, often in remote locations. Our customers include independent and major oil and gas companies that are engaged in the

14


 

exploration and production of oil and gas in North America, including in the Northeast (Marcellus and Utica Shales), Rocky Mountains (Williston and Piceance Basins), Southwest (Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale) and Mid‑Continent. This business is operated within our Energy Services Group (“ESG”) segment.

We are organized based on the products and services we offer. We determined that ASG and ESG met the requirements of a reportable segment each operating in a single line of business. Each segment regularly reports its results of operations and makes requests for capital expenditures and acquisition funding to the Company’s chief operational decision‑making group. Each operating segment has separate management teams and infrastructures dedicated to providing a full range of products and services to their customers.

 

 

Current ESG Industry Conditions

 

Over the past 21 months, as the price of crude oil declined from over $100.00 per barrel in 2014 to approximately $45.00 at October 31, 2016, oil field service companies that provide services similar to ESG have all suffered significant reductions in demand and pricing from their oil exploration and production customers.  This severe change in industry conditions resulted in a reduction of almost 800 oil rigs, a loss of almost 200,000 U.S. jobs throughout the energy sector and a corresponding decrease in demand and pricing for oil field services as the E&P companies cut back their spending for new exploration.

 

We initiated a business alignment and cost reduction initiative in 2015 to size our operations to current demand levels. We believe ESG’s third quarter performance continues to reflect our business realignment and cost reduction initiatives as evidenced by a reduction in operating loss as compared with the

15


 

same period in the prior year (exclusive of the asset impairment charge). In addition, on a sequential quarterly basis, ESG’s operating loss decreased by $5.6, or 23.8%, to $(17.9) on a $7.9, or 24.5%, increase in sequential quarterly revenues. We are continuing to carefully manage our costs, while continuing to invest in differentiating technologies, personnel and innovative product and service lines, as we build an industry leading platform in the services niche in which we operate.

 

Management is focused on controlling costs to limit losses while adding differentiated technologies and services to continue to build our valuable franchise. We expect the benefit of the business alignment actions we have taken, which include an approximately 55% reduction in headcount and the consolidation of 11 facilities, together with our commitment to closely scrutinize all capital expenditures, will continue to lower both our costs and our cash burn rate, which we define as EBITDA less capital expenditures, during the remainder of the year, while retaining the capability to disproportionally benefit as market conditions improve.

Third quarter 2016 revenues of $389.0 increased 6.6% as compared with the prior year. Our consolidated results reflect a 13.7%, or $42.1, increase in ASG revenues, partially offset by an $18.1 decline in ESG revenues.

 

Third quarter 2016 cost of sales was $289.0, or 74.3% of sales, as compared to the prior year period of $279.1, or 76.5% of sales. The year-over-year improvement in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues is due to ASG revenue mix as well as the benefits from our ESG cost reduction initiatives.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense during the third quarter of 2016 was $61.4, or 15.8% of revenues, as compared with $65.0, or 17.8% of revenues, in the prior year period. The decrease in SG&A expense in the current year is primarily due to our cost reduction and business realignment initiatives at ESG.

 

Operating earnings of $38.6 increased $657.9 as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2015. Excluding an asset impairment charge of $640.2 in the third quarter of 2015, operating earnings increased 84.7% to $38.6, and operating margin was 9.9%. Included in operating earnings in the 2016 period are approximately $3.5 of costs and expenses associated with the recent Herndon acquisition. Consolidated operating margins improved at a faster rate than revenues driven by an 18.2% improvement in ASG’s operating margin and 97.3% improvement in ESG’s operating loss (33.5% exclusive of the 2015 asset impairment charge).

 

Interest expense for the three months ended October 31, 2016 was $18.8.

 

There was no income tax expense for the three months ended October 31, 2016 as we realized a one-time benefit from our ongoing tax planning initiatives, which eliminated our current period tax expense, bringing our estimated tax rate for the year ending January 31, 2017 to approximately 27.5%.

 

Net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended October 31, 2016 were $19.8 and $0.38, respectively, as compared to $(400.8) net loss and $(7.68) net loss per share in 2015. The changes in net earnings are due to the various factors discussed above.

Third quarter 2016 ASG revenues of $348.8 increased 13.7% as compared to the three-month period ended October 31, 2015. ASG‘s third quarter 2016 operating earnings of $56.5 increased 18.2% when compared to the prior year, and operating margin was 16.2%. ASG’s operating margin was negatively impacted by the margin dilutive impact of the Herndon acquisition and approximately $3.5 of Herndon acquisition and integration costs.

 

Compared to the prior year, organic revenue growth from our commercial aerospace manufacturing and aftermarket customers were up 5.8% and 4.2%, respectively, partially offset by a decline in sales to our legacy military manufacturing customers.

 

ESG’s third quarter revenues were $40.2 and decreased by $18.1 as compared to the prior year period. Operating loss improved by $649.2, principally due to a $640.2 asset impairment charge in the third quarter of 2015 as well as the benefits from our cost reduction and business realignment initiatives.

For the nine months ended October 31, 2016, revenues of $1,148.6 decreased 5.0%, as compared to the prior year period. The consolidated results reflect a 3.2% increase in ASG revenues, offset by a 46.0% decrease in ESG revenues, as compared to the prior year. 

 

Cost of sales for the current nine-month period was $864.0, or 75.2% of sales, as compared to $918.3, or 75.9% of sales, in the nine-month period ended October 31, 2015.     

 

SG&A expense during the nine months ended October 31, 2016 were $181.9, or 15.8% of revenues, as compared with $189.7, or 15.7% of revenues, in the prior year period.

 

For the nine months ended October 31, 2016, operating earnings were $102.7 and operating margin was 8.9% as compared to a $(539.0) operating loss in the prior year. Operating earnings and operating margin increased primarily due to a $640.2 asset impairment charge in the prior year period, the recent acquisition of Herndon, and our cost reduction and business realignment initiatives at ESG. 

 

Interest expense for the nine months ended October 31, 2016 was $56.8 as compared with $58.2 in the prior year.

 

Income tax expense for the nine months ended October 31, 2016 was $10.3, or 22.4% of earnings before income taxes, as compared with 37.1% in the prior year period as we realized a one-time benefit from our ongoing tax planning initiatives. As a result, we now expect a full year effective tax rate for the year ending January 31, 2017 of approximately 27.5%.

 

For the nine months ended October 31, 2016, net earnings and earnings per diluted share were $35.6 and $0.68, respectively, as compared to net loss and net loss per share of $(375.5) and $(7.19), respectively, in 2015.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Current Financial Condition

 

Cash on hand at October 31, 2016 decreased by $130.1 as compared with cash on hand at January 31, 2016 primarily as a result of capital expenditures of $33.9 and the acquisition of Herndon for $220.8 (net of cash acquired), partially offset by cash flows from operating activities of $139.1. Our liquidity requirements consist of working capital needs and ongoing capital expenditure requirements. Our primary requirements for working capital are directly related to the level of our operations. Our sources of liquidity consist of cash on hand, cash flow from operations and availability under our $750.0 Revolving Credit Facility. At October 31, 2016, we had $297.7 of cash and cash equivalents. The substantial majority of our cash is held within the United States, and we believe substantially all of our foreign cash may be brought back into the United States in a tax efficient manner.

 

Working Capital

 

Working capital as of October 31, 2016 was $1,721.2, a decrease of $40.4, as compared with working capital at January 31, 2016. Excluding the working capital associated with the Herndon acquisition, working capital decreased by $127.5. As of October 31, 2016, total current assets decreased by $34.3 and total current liabilities increased by $6.1 as compared with the prior fiscal year end amounts. Total current assets decreased primarily as a result of a $130.1 decrease in cash offset by a $34.4 increase in accounts receivable and a $66.8 increase in inventories. The increase in total current liabilities was primarily due to a $12.1 increase in accounts payable offset by a $6.0 decrease in accrued liabilities.

 

Cash Flows

 

As of October 31, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents were $297.7 as compared to $427.8 at January 31, 2016. Cash generated from operating activities was $139.1 for the nine months ended October 31, 2016 as compared to $197.5 in the nine months ended October 31, 2015, primarily reflecting a $22.2 increase in accounts receivable compared with a $33.6 decrease in the prior year and a $1.9 increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2016 compared with a $35.7 increase in the prior year, partially offset by a $35.3 decrease in inventories (excluding the acquired Herndon inventory which is accounted for in cash flows from investing activities) compared to a $9.0 decrease in the prior year.

 

Capital Spending

 

Our capital expenditures were $33.9 and $106.4 during the nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We expect capital expenditures to be approximately $40.0 during 2016 related to the build-out of KLX’s stand-alone data center as we migrate from the B/E systems and for general business purposes and the ongoing capital requirements of our ESG business ($23.5 as of the nine months ended October 31, 2016). We expect to fund future capital expenditures from cash on hand, cash flow from operations and from funds available from our secured $750.0 Revolving Credit Facility none of which was drawn at October 31, 2016.

 

Outstanding Debt and Other Financing Arrangements

 

Long-term debt at October 31, 2016 totaled $1,200.0 and consisted of our 5.875% senior unsecured notes. On a net basis, after taking into consideration the debt issue costs for the Term Loan Facility, total debt was $1,181.3.

 

20


 

We also have a $750.0 Secured Revolving Credit Facility tied to a borrowing base formula, which bears interest at the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable margin (as defined). No amounts were outstanding under this credit facility as of October 31, 2016. We believe that our cash flows, together with cash on hand and funds available under the credit facility will provide us with the ability to fund our operations, make planned capital expenditures payments, and meet our debt service obligations for at least the next twelve months. 

 

Contractual Obligations

 

The following table reflects our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of October 31, 2016. Commercial commitments include lines of credit, guarantees and other potential cash outflows resulting from a contingent event that requires performance by us or our subsidiaries pursuant to a funding commitment.

(1)

Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $12.3, including related interests and penalties at October 31, 2016, has been omitted from the above table because we cannot determine with certainty when this liability will be settled.  It is reasonably possible that the amount of liability for unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months; however, we do not expect the change to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

(2)

Interest payments include interest payments due on the 5.875% senior unsecured notes based on the stated rate of 5.875%. To the extent we incur interest on the Revolving Credit Facility, interest payments would fluctuate based on LIBOR or the prime rate pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

We believe that our cash flows, together with cash on hand and the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, provide us with the ability to fund our operations, make planned capital expenditures and make scheduled debt service payments for at least the next twelve months. However, such cash flows are dependent upon our future operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, including the conditions of our markets, some of which are beyond our control. If, in the future, we cannot generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our debt service obligations, we will need to refinance such debt obligations, obtain additional financing or sell assets. We cannot assure you that our business will generate cash from operations or that we will be able to obtain financing from other sources sufficient to satisfy our debt service or other requirements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Lease Arrangements

 

We finance our use of certain equipment under committed lease arrangements provided by various financial institutions. Since the terms of these arrangements meet the accounting definition of operating lease arrangements, the aggregate sum of future minimum lease payments is not reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our aggregate future minimum lease payments under these arrangements totaled approximately $90.9 at October 31, 2016.

 

21


 

Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees

 

During the normal course of business, we have made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include indemnities to our customers in connection with the sale and delivery of our products, indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, and indemnities to other parties to certain acquisition agreements. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. We believe that many of our indemnities, commitments and guarantees provide for limitations on the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. However, we are unable to estimate the maximum amount of liability related to our indemnities, commitments and guarantees because such liabilities are contingent upon the occurrence of events which are not reasonably determinable. Management believes that any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees would not be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Backlog

 

We believe that backlog is not a relevant measure for our ASG segment, given the long-term nature of our contracts with our customers. Few, if any, include minimum purchase requirements, annually or over the term of the agreement. Our ESG segment operates under Master Service Agreements (“MSAs”) with our oil and gas customers, which set forth the terms and conditions for the provision of services and the rental of equipment. Rental tool and service contracts are typically based on a day rate with rates based on the type of equipment and competitive conditions. As a result, we do not record backlog.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our critical accounting policies are limited to those described in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016.

 

The Company has revised its methodology for estimating the provision required for excess and obsolete (“E&O”) inventories as part of its remediation efforts to address the material weakness in internal controls. The new methodology more adequately considers historical demand of our inventory to project future demand in order to estimate the provision required for E&O inventories. Other factors considered in the methodology include expected market growth rates and related elements. The implementation of the changes in internal controls did not impact the current period or any prior period provision for E&O inventory.

 

The fair value of the ASG reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by approximately 16% as of December 31, 2015, and approximately $993.3 of goodwill has been allocated to the ASG reporting unit as of October 31, 2016. ASG's cash flow projections were a significant input into the December 31, 2015 reporting unit fair value. Should ASG’s future cash from operations decline to levels inconsistent with ASG’s projected results, long-term projections may be adjusted downward, which could result in an impairment charge at our ASG reporting unit.

 

There have been no other changes to our critical accounting policies since January 31, 2016.

 

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information to investors. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) includes forward-looking statements that reflect our current expectations and

22


 

projections about our future results, performance and prospects. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical in nature or are not current facts. We have tried to identify these forward-looking statements by using forward-looking words including "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "may," "might," "should," "could," "will" or the negative of these terms or similar expressions.

 

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause our actual results, performance and prospects to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include those discussed in our filings with the SEC, in particular those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016, including the following factors:

·

regulation of and dependence upon the aerospace and energy industries;

·

the cyclical nature of the aerospace and energy industries and the deterioration of general economic conditions;

·

market prices for fuel, oil and natural gas;

·

competitive conditions;

·

legislative or regulatory changes and potential liability under federal and state laws and regulations;

·

risks inherent in international operations, including compliance with anti-corruption laws and regulations of the U.S. government and various international jurisdictions;

·

doing business with the U.S. government;

·

reduction in government military spending;

·

JIT contracts and LTAs having no guarantee of future customer purchase requirements;

·

dependence on suppliers and on third-party package delivery companies;

·

decreases in the rate at which oil or natural gas reserves are discovered or developed;

·

impact of technological advances on the demand for our products and services;

·

delays of customers obtaining permits for their operations;

·

hazards and operational risks that may not be fully covered by insurance;

·

the write-off of a significant portion of intangible assets;

·

the need to obtain additional capital or financing, and the cost of obtaining such capital or financing;

·

limitations that our organizational documents, debt instruments and U.S. federal income tax requirements may have on our financial flexibility or our ability to engage in strategic transactions;

·

failure to have the Spin-Off qualified as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or our inability to achieve some or all of the benefits of the Spin-Off;

·

our credit profile;

·

changes in supply and demand of equipment;

·

oilfield anti-indemnity provisions;

·

severe weather;

·

reliance on information technology resources and the inability to implement new technology;

·

increased labor costs or the unavailability of skilled workers;

·

inability to manage inventory; and

·

inability to successfully consummate acquisitions or integrate acquisitions after closing or inability to manage potential growth.

 

In light of these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q. These statements should be considered only after carefully reading this entire Form 10-Q. Except as required under the federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional risks that we may currently deem immaterial or that are not presently known to us could also cause the forward-looking events discussed in this Form 10-Q not to occur.

ITEM 3 . QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RIS K

 

We are exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates affecting the cost of our variable-rate debt.

 

Foreign Currency – We have direct operations in Europe that receive revenues from customers primarily in U.S. dollars and we purchase component parts from foreign vendors primarily in British pounds or Euros. Accordingly, we are exposed to transaction gains and losses that could result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar. Our largest foreign currency exposure results from activity in British pounds and Euros.

 

From time to time, we and our foreign subsidiaries may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to manage risk on transactions conducted in foreign currencies. At October 31, 2016, we had no outstanding forward currency exchange contracts. In addition, we have not entered into any other derivative financial instruments.

 

Interest Rates – As of October 31, 2016, we have no adjustable rate debt outstanding. We do not engage in transactions intended to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates.

 

As of October 31, 2016, we maintained a portfolio of cash and securities consisting mainly of taxable, interest-bearing deposits with weighted average maturities of less than three months. If short-term interest rates were to increase or decrease by 10%, we estimate interest income would increase or decrease by approximately $0.1.

 

 

ITEM 4 . CONTROLS AND PROCEDURE S

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, as of October 31, 2016, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 31, 2016.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended October 31, 2016, management remediated the previously disclosed material weakness related to the controls surrounding the Company’s excess and obsolete (E&O) inventory reserve. During the quarter ended October 31, 2016, management established controls over the compilation and validation of data and inputs used in the new demand based E&O reserve model that includes a reconciliation of the inputs used in the model to source data to validate the accuracy and completeness of the significant inputs.  Management also established a management review control which includes consideration of each significant assumption and input used in the new demand based model. 

 

Other than the changes described above related to the controls related to the new demand based E&O reserve model, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
