FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including but not limited to statements made in Part I, Item 2–“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” statements made with respect to future operating results, expectations of future customer orders and the availability of resources necessary for our business are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “continue,” “future,” “potential,” “believe,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “estimate,” “predict,” “expect,” “anticipate” and similar expressions, or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing statements. Such forward-looking statements are made based on our management’s beliefs as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Our actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to, among other things:

changes in price, delivery delays and decreased availability of component parts, chassis and raw materials, including aluminum, steel, and petroleum-related products, resulting from changes in demand and market conditions, the general inflationary environment, the war in Ukraine, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on supply chains;
economic and market conditions, including the negative impacts on the Company’s customers, suppliers and employees from inflationary pressures, higher interest rates, and economic and geopolitical uncertainties (including the war in Ukraine);
our dependence upon outside suppliers for purchased component parts, chassis and raw materials, including aluminum, steel, and petroleum-related products;
future impacts resulting from the war in Ukraine, which include or could include (among other effects) disruption in global commodity and other markets, increased prices for energy, supply shortages and supplier financial risk;
increased labor costs and the ability to attract and retain skilled labor to manufacture our products;
the potential negative impacts of higher interest rates and other actions taken by the federal government in response to economic volatility and inflationary pressures, including the impact on our customers’ and end users’ access to capital and credit to fund purchases;
our ability to raise capital, including to grow our business, pursue strategic investments, and take advantage of financing or other opportunities that we believe to be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders due to the significant additional indebtedness we incurred during 2022 and 2023;
the cyclical nature of our industry and changes in consumer confidence;
special risks from our sales to U.S. and other governmental entities through prime contractors;
changes in fuel and other transportation costs, insurance costs and weather conditions;
changes in government regulations, including environmental and health and safety regulations;
failure to comply with domestic and foreign anti-corruption laws;
competition in our industry and our ability to attract or retain customers;
our ability to develop or acquire proprietary products and technology;
assertions against us relating to intellectual property rights;
changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates;
changes in the tax regimes and related government policies and regulations in the countries in which we operate;
the effects of regulations relating to conflict minerals;
the catastrophic loss of one of our manufacturing facilities;
environmental and health and safety liabilities and requirements;

loss of the services of our key executives;
product warranty or product liability claims in excess of our insurance coverage;
potential recalls of components or parts manufactured for us by suppliers or potential recalls of defective products;
an inability to acquire insurance at commercially reasonable rates;
a disruption in, or breach in security of, our information technology systems or any violation of data protection laws; and
those other risks discussed in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those risks discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which discussion is incorporated herein by this reference.

Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference in this report and have filed as exhibits to the report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

MILLER INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except as otherwise noted)

1.          BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Miller Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of certain subsidiaries whose fiscal closing dates differ from December 31st by 31 days (or less) to facilitate timely reporting.

2.          RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Standards

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) which requires the Company to measure and recognize contract assets and contract liabilities when purchased as part of a business combination. According to the guidance, the acquirer must follow ASC Topic 606 in accounting for the contract asset or contract liability being purchased. The amendments in the update were effective for financial statements beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has applied the amendments prospectively. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Also during the first quarter of 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The update requires entities with financing receivables to disclose gross write-offs by year of origination of the receivable. The amendments in the update were effective for financial statements beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and has been applied prospectively. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the condensed Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3.          BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On May 31, 2023, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Southern Hydraulic Cylinder, Inc., (“SHC”), a Tennessee corporation. SHC manufactures, sells and services hydraulic cylinders and related components. The operations of SHC align with those of the Company, which management believes will bolster its efforts to enhance the stability of the Company’s supply chain.

The purchase price totaling approximately $17.8 million was comprised of cash on hand and by drawing on the existing revolving credit facility.

The preliminary allocation of the consideration for the net assets acquired from the acquisition of SHC were as follows:

$

8,975

The acquired business contributed revenues of $919 and earnings of $33 to the Company for the period from June 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023. Earnings for the period include adjustments made for the elimination of intercompany sales and profits, as well as sales of finished goods recorded at market value as part of the acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the Company as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2022.

The Company did not have any material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.

The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the significant synergies expected to arise after the Company’s acquisition of Southern Hydraulic Cylinder, Inc.

The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of the assets acquired includes trade receivables of $2,244 that are not purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The Company does not anticipate any markdowns of trade receivables or corresponding credit losses.

The initial accounting is incomplete due to the timing of the closing in relation to this quarterly filing. The Company is still evaluating the value of certain assets acquired and will be obtaining a third-party valuation. Any adjustments to the value of assets, such as intangible assets, fixed assets or inventory, will be disclosed in future filings.

9

Transaction costs incurred in the acquisition were not material and were primarily related to legal, accounting and consulting services and were expensed as incurred through June 30, 2023 and are included in Selling, General and Administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. 

The allocations of the fair value of the acquired business were based on preliminary valuations of the estimated net fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value estimates are subject to adjustment during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The fair values of the net assets acquired are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management. During the measurement period, we will adjust preliminary valuations assigned to assets and liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, if any, that, if known, would have resulted in revised values for these items as of that date. The net working capital adjustment related to the acquisitions are estimated as of the closing date and will be adjusted based on that estimate. Net working capital adjustments, if any, will be recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The impact of all changes, if any, that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in current period earnings.

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The Company uses the treasury stock method to account for the effect of nonvested restricted stock units on the computation of diluted income per share. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, 128 thousand nonvested restricted stock units would have been anti-dilutive. There were 5 thousand restricted stock units that vested in June 2023, with 29 thousand shares being issued and no shares being forfeited. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, 128 thousand of the nonvested restricted stock units would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, 160 thousand nonvested restricted stock units would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, none of the nonvested restricted stock units would have been anti-dilutive.

5.          REVENUE

Substantially all of our revenue is generated from sales of towing and recovery equipment. As such, disaggregation of revenue by product line would not provide useful information because all product lines have substantially similar characteristics. However, revenue streams are tracked by the geographic location of customers. This disaggregated information is presented in the table below.

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. Except for certain extended service contracts on a small percentage of units sold, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and sales revenue is recognized when products are shipped from the Company’s facilities. From time to time, revenue is recognized under a bill and hold arrangement. Recognition of revenue on bill and hold arrangements occurs when control transfers to the customer. The bill and hold arrangement must be substantive, and the product must be separately identified as belonging to the customer, ready for physical transfer, and unavailable to be used or directed to another customer.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for the transfer of products. Sales and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Warranty related costs are recognized as an expense at the time products are sold and a reserve is established. Depending on the terms of the arrangement, for certain contracts the Company may defer the recognition of a portion of the consideration received because a future obligation has not yet been satisfied, such as an extended service contract. An observable price is used to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations or a cost plus margin approach is utilized when one is not available.

Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily relate to performance obligations to be satisfied in the future. For both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, contract liability balances were $242, and are included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. No revenue related to contract liability balances was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, or during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company did not have any contract assets at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business. Collections from customers are continuously monitored and an allowance for credit losses is maintained based on historical experience adjusted for current conditions and forecasts capturing country and industry-specific economic factors. The Company also considers any specific customer collection issues. Since the Company’s trade receivables are largely similar, the Company evaluates its allowance for credit losses as one portfolio segment. At origination, the Company evaluates credit risk based on a variety of credit quality factors including prior payment experience, customer financial information, credit ratings, probabilities of default, industry trends and other internal metrics. On an ongoing basis, data by each major customer is regularly reviewed based on past-due status to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and actual write-offs are charged against the allowance. Terms on accounts receivable vary and are based on specific terms agreed upon with each customer. Write-offs of accounts receivable were de minimis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.  

Trade accounts receivable are generally diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many geographic regions. The Company also frequently monitors the creditworthiness of the customers to whom the credit is granted in the normal course of business. No one customer made up more than 10% of total Company sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Sales from one customer made up approximately 10.0% of total Company sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. There were no customers with accounts receivable greater than 10% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2023. Accounts receivable from one customer made up approximately 10% of total Company trade accounts receivable at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

6.          INVENTORIES

Inventory costs include materials, labor and factory overhead. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined on a moving average unit cost basis. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, valuation and other factors in determining net realizable value. Revisions of these estimates could result in the need for adjustments. Inventories, net of reserves, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted of the following:

7.          LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

Credit Facility

The Company’s current loan agreement with First Horizon Bank, which governs its existing $100.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 31, 2027, contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and financial, affirmative and negative covenants for loan agreements of this kind. The credit facility restricts the payment of cash dividends if the payment would cause the Company to be in violation of the minimum tangible net worth test or the leverage ratio test in the loan agreement, among various other customary covenants. The Company has been in compliance with these covenants throughout 2022 and during the first six months of 2023, and it is anticipated that the Company will continue to be in compliance for the foreseeable future.

In absence of a default, all borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at the one month Term SOFR Rate plus 1.00% or 1.25% per annum, depending on the leverage ratio. The Company pays a non-usage fee under the current loan agreement at a rate per annum equal to between 0.15% and 0.35% of the unused amount of the credit facility, which fee is paid quarterly.

The Company retained $60.0 million in outstanding borrowings under its credit facility at June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and temporary investments of $30,502 and $40,153, respectively.

8.          COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leasing Activities

The Company leases certain equipment and facilities under long-term non-cancellable operating and finance lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2027. Certain of the lease agreements contain renewal options. For those leases that have renewal options, the Company included these renewal periods in the lease term if the Company determined it was reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option. Lease payments during such renewal periods were also considered in the calculation of right-of-use assets and lease obligations.

Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets are recognized at the commencement date as the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus payments made prior to lease commencement and any initial direct costs. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating leases. For finance leases, expense is recognized as the expense from straight-line amortization of the right-of-use asset plus the periodic interest expense from the lease obligation. Short-term leases have a lease term of twelve months or less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related right-of-use asset or lease obligation for such contracts.

Right-of-use assets related to finance leases are included as a component of property, plant and equipment, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases at June 30, 2023 was 2.6 years. The weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases at December 31, 2022 was 3.7 years. The weighted average discount rate for operating leases at June 30, 2023 was 3.2%. The weighted average discount rate for operating leases at December 31, 2022 was 3.9%. The Company’s subsidiary in the United Kingdom leased facilities used for manufacturing and office space from a related party with related lease costs during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 of $51 and $53, respectively, and related lease costs during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 of $101 and $108, respectively. The Company’s French subsidiary leased a fleet of vehicles from a related party with related lease costs of $54 and $38 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and related lease costs of $111 and $71 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

13

Other Commitments

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had commitments of approximately $10,062 and $6,351, respectively, for construction and acquisition of property, plant and equipment. The Company migrated its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to a multi-tenant cloud environment in 2021 and is continuing to implement additional modules such as enterprise performance management, human capital management, data analytics and the use of artificial intelligence. Related to the continuing implementation project, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had commitments of approximately $1,378 and $2,565, respectively, in software license fees payable in installments through 2025.

Contingencies

The Company has entered into arrangements with third-party lenders where it has agreed, in the event of default by a distributor within the independent distributor network, to repurchase from the third-party lender Company products repossessed from the independent distributor customer. These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. The maximum amount of collateral that the Company could be required to purchase was approximately $118,042 at June 30, 2023, and $74,122 at December 31, 2022. The increase during 2023 is due to increases in sales and supply chain issues that delay payment until all parts and components are received. The Company’s risk under these arrangements is mitigated by the value of the products that would be repurchased as part of the transaction. The Company considered the fair value at inception of its commitment under these arrangements and concluded that there is no probable loss associated with these potential repurchase obligations and thus no associated liability was recognized at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal course of its business. Litigation is subject to various inherent uncertainties, and it is possible that some of such matters could be resolved unfavorably to the Company, which could result in substantial damages against the Company. The Company establishes accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable and maintains product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of any such matters in excess of available insurance coverage and accruals will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

9.          INCOME TAXES

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had no federal net operating loss carryforwards. State net operating loss carryforwards were $1,366 at June 30, 2023.

10.           CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD ERRORS

As previously disclosed in Note 11 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified prior period accounting errors that the Company concluded were not material to the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The financial reporting periods affected by these errors include the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, and the Company’s previously reported unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information for each of the quarterly and fiscal year-to-date periods in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (collectively the “previously reported financial statements”).

Based on management’s evaluation of the accounting errors under the SEC Staff’s Accounting Bulletins Nos. 99 (“SAB 99”) and 108 (“SAB 208”) and interpretations thereof, the Company concluded the errors were not material, on an individual or aggregate basis, to the Company’s previously reported financial statements. The errors originated many years ago, were less than 3.6% of the impacted accounts, and did not materially impact ratios or amounts relied upon by users of the financial statements. However, the Company further concluded the accounting errors could not be corrected as an out-of-period adjustment in the Company’s current period consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, because to do so would cause a material misstatement in those financial statements. Accordingly, the Company proceeded according to the guidance prescribed by SAB 108 which specifies that the errors must be corrected the next time the previously reported financial statements are filed. Therefore, the Company corrected these accounting errors in all of the Company’s previously reported annual and interim consolidated financial statements impacted by the errors, which includes the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

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

The following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements and other information presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2022.  Unless the context indicates otherwise, all dollar amounts in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are in thousands.

Company Background

Miller Industries, Inc. is The World’s Largest Manufacturer of Towing and Recovery Equipment®, with domestic manufacturing subsidiaries in Tennessee and Pennsylvania, and foreign manufacturing subsidiaries in France and the United Kingdom. We offer a broad range of equipment to meet our customers’ design, capacity and cost requirements under our Century®, Vulcan®, Challenger®, Holmes®, Champion®, Chevron™, Eagle®, Titan®, Jige™ and Boniface™ brand names. In this Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the words “Miller Industries,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to Miller Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries or any of them.

Our management focuses on a variety of key indicators to monitor our overall operating and financial performance. These indicators include measurements of revenue, operating income, gross margin, net income, earnings per share, capital expenditures and cash flow.

We derive revenues primarily from product sales made to our network of domestic and foreign independent distributors. Our revenues are sensitive to a variety of factors including general economic conditions as well as demand for, and price of, our products, our technological competitiveness, our reputation for providing quality products and reliable service, competition within our industry, and the cost and availability of purchased component parts, truck chassis and raw materials (including aluminum, steel and petroleum-related products). 

Our history of innovation in the towing and recovery industry has been an important factor behind our growth over the last decade and we believe that our continued emphasis on research and development will be a key factor in our future growth. We opened a free-standing R&D facility in Chattanooga in 2019, where we pursue various innovations in our products and manufacturing processes, some of which are intended to enhance the safety of our employees and reduce our environmental impact. In addition, our recent domestic plant expansion and modernization projects have installed sophisticated robotics and implemented other advanced technologies to increase our production capacity and optimize our manufacturing processes. These projects were completed during the period from 2017 to 2021 at a cost of over $82,000. We completed phase one of the implementation of an enterprise software solution during 2021, and we continued to implement additional functionality available in the solution in 2022 and 2023. We expect this software to substantially improve our administrative efficiency and customer service levels. As we retain our focus toward modernization, we expect to continue to invest in robotics and automated material handling equipment across all of our domestic manufacturing facilities.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company drew $20,000 for working capital needs from its primary credit facility and has since reduced the balance by $5,000. As of July 31, 2023, the balance on its credit facility remains at $60,000.

On May 31, 2023, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Southern Hydraulic Cylinder, Inc., (“SHC”), a Tennessee corporation. SHC manufactures, sells and services hydraulic cylinders and related components. The operations of SHC align with those of the Company, which management believes will bolster its efforts to enhance the stability of the Company’s supply chain. The purchase price totaling approximately $17.8 million was comprised of cash on hand and by drawing on the existing revolving credit facility. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Report.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

Our industry is, and will continue to be, cyclical in nature, and the overall demand for our products and our resulting revenues are influenced by a variety of factors, including:

levels of consumer confidence;
domestic and international capital and credit markets and the availability and affordability of financing, including floor plan financing, for our customers and towing operators;
fuel and insurance costs, and macro-economic conditions such as broad-based inflation,  and their effect on the ability of our customers to purchase towing and related equipment; and

16

the overall effects of global, political, economic and health conditions.

We remain concerned about the continuing effects of these factors on the towing and recovery industry, and we continue to monitor our overall cost structure to see that it remains in line with business conditions.

We have been and will continue to be affected by the availability of, and changes in the prices that we pay for component parts and raw materials, particularly aluminum, steel and petroleum-related products, which represent a substantial part of our total cost of operations.

Recent Trends and Outlook

The first half of 2022 was marked by continued challenges recovering from the global COVID-19 pandemic in the form of inflationary cost pressures in both raw materials and labor, as well as persistent supply chain disruptions that collectively had a materially adverse impact on our financial performance. We took pricing actions to offset these inflationary cost pressures, while continuing to execute against our strategic initiatives such as our ERP implementation, enterprise software upgrades, and other operational and productivity improvement initiatives aimed at reducing our expenses as a percentage of net sales. We also continued to invest in our inventory in the form of critical parts and in goods near completion, in order to fulfil orders of finished goods as soon as the necessary parts became available.  

In the latter part of 2022 and continuing during 2023, our strong backlog allowed revenues to increase as parts became more available due to supply chain improvement and actions that we took to diversify and increase the flexibility of our supply chain. Gross margin also steadily improved due to our pricing actions, productivity improvements and the stabilizing of raw material costs. These trends accelerated in the first and second quarters of 2023, resulting in substantially increased revenues and net income for the period.

Based on our strong backlog, the price increases and productivity improvements we have implemented, lessening supply chain disruptions and easing inflationary pressures, we believe we are well positioned to continue enhancing our operating results. However, our performance will be heavily influenced by, among other things, whether supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures continue to lessen or worsen, the continuing impact of the war in Ukraine or other geopolitical factors, and the threat of recession and general economic factors. The impact of these factors remains largely out of our control, and we currently anticipate that these factors will continue to have an adverse impact on our production capabilities, financial results and cash flow over the remainder of 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require us to make estimates. Certain accounting policies are deemed “critical,” as they require management’s highest degree of judgment, estimations and assumptions. The accounting policies deemed to be most critical to our financial position and results of operations are those related to accounts receivable, inventory, long-lived assets, warranty reserves, revenues, and income taxes. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the six months of fiscal 2023.

For additional information, refer to our summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part IV, Item 15 and "Critical Accounting Policies" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 49.0% to $300,264 from $201,500 for the comparable period in 2022. The increase in revenue is the result of the realization of price increases and increases in production volume across all our product categories due to supply chain improvements and continued strong customer demand. Net domestic sales increased during the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $272,320 from $185,635 for the comparable period in 2022, while net foreign sales increased to $27,944 from $15,865 during the same three-month period.

Costs of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 42.2% to $260,335 from $183,126 for the comparable period in 2022, due to increased deliveries. Costs of operations decreased as a percentage of sales to 86.7%, compared to 90.9% for the comparable period in 2022, primarily due to the recognition of price increases on sales to customers that offset higher input costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased to $19,480 from $12,651 for the comparable period in 2022 due to increased expenses associated with increased sales volumes, as well as additional executive compensation expense as discussed in the 8-K filed in April 2023 and approximately $1,010 in increased professional and legal fees associated with recent investor activity discussed in the 8-K filed in March 2023. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased to 6.5% from 6.3% in the comparable period in 2022.

17

Interest expense, net increased to $1,700 from $628 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period. Increases in interest expense, net was primarily due to increases in floor plan interest payments, increased borrowings on our credit facility and increased interest rates.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 the Company recognized a net foreign currency exchange gain of $273, compared to a net loss of $311 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting foreign currency gains and loss on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local entity’s functional currency.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 reflects a combined effective U.S. federal, state and foreign tax rate of 21.4% and 22.1%, respectively. The principal differences between the federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate consist primarily of state taxes, domestic tax credits, and tax differences on foreign earnings.

Results of Operations – Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 39.7% to $582,539 from $417,045 for the comparable period in 2022. The increase in revenue is the result of the realization of price increases and increases in production volume across all our product categories due to supply chain improvements and continued strong customer demand. Net domestic sales increased during the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $530,487 from $379,986 for the comparable period in 2022, while net foreign sales increased to $52,052 from $37,059 during the same six-month period.

Costs of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 33.6% to $512,194 from $383,331 for the comparable period in 2022, due to increased deliveries. Costs of operations decreased as a percentage of sales to 87.9%, compared to 91.9% for the comparable period in 2022, primarily due to the recognition of price increases on sales to customers that offset higher input costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased to $37,403 from $25,037 for the comparable period in 2022 due to increased expenses associated with increased sales volumes, as well as additional executive compensation expense as discussed in the 8-K filed in April 2023 and approximately $2,506 in increased professional and legal fees associated with recent investor activity discussed in the 8-K filed in March 2023. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased to 6.4% from 6.0% in the comparable period in 2022.

Interest expense, net increased to $2,713 from $1,046 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period. Increases in interest expense, net were primarily due to increased borrowings on our credit facility, increased interest rates and increases in floor plan interest payments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 the Company recognized a net foreign currency exchange gain of $611, compared to a net loss of $363 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting foreign currency gains and loss on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local entity’s functional currency.

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 reflects a combined effective U.S. federal, state and foreign tax rate of 21.6% and 20.3%, respectively. The higher year over year rate was due to favorable tax adjustments in foreign tax jurisdictions in the prior year. The principal differences between the federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate consist primarily of state taxes, domestic tax credits, and tax differences on foreign earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities was $2,681 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to cash used in operating activities of $34,827 in the comparable period in 2022. Cash provided by or used in operating activities is generally attributable to the receipt of payments from our customers as settlement of their contractual obligation once we have fulfilled all performance obligations related to our contracts with them. These cash receipts are netted with payments for purchases of inventory, materials used in manufacturing, and other expenses that are necessary in the ordinary course of our operations, such as utilities and taxes. The change in net cash flows from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023, in comparison to the six months ended June 30, 2022, is primarily due to increased net income and a stabilization of changes in operating assets and liabilities as a result of improved availability of purchased components.

Cash used in investing activities was $24,173 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $22,832 for the comparable period in 2022. The cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily for the purchase of SHC. (See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Report).

18

Cash provided by financing activities was $10,881 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $35,880 for the comparable period in 2022. Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 resulted from advances under the Company’s primary credit facility, offset by the payment of cash dividends.

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and temporary investments of $30,502, and an additional $40,000 in available borrowings under our existing credit facility. Our primary cash requirements include working capital, capital expenditures, the funding of any declared cash dividends and principal and interest payments on indebtedness. At June 30, 2023, the Company had commitments of approximately $10,062 for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. At June 30, 2023, we also had a commitment of approximately $1,378 in software license fees related to the implementation of our enterprise software solution.

We expect our primary sources of cash to be cash flows from operations, cash and temporary investments on hand at June 30, 2023 and borrowings under our credit facility as needed. We expect these sources to be sufficient to satisfy our cash needs for at least the next year. However, our ability to satisfy our cash needs will substantially depend upon several factors, including our future operating performance, taking into account the supply chain, economic and other factors discussed above and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $19,930 and $18,254, respectively, of the Company’s cash and temporary investments were held by foreign subsidiaries and their holdings are generally based in the local currency.

Credit Facilities and Other Obligations

Credit Facility

The Company’s current loan agreement with First Horizon Bank, which governs its existing $100.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 31, 2027, contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and financial, affirmative and negative covenants for loan agreements of this kind. The credit facility restricts the payment of cash dividends if the payment would cause the Company to be in violation of the minimum tangible net worth test or the leverage ratio test in the loan agreement, among various other customary covenants. The Company has been in compliance with these covenants throughout 2022 and during the first half of 2023, and it is anticipated that the Company will continue to be in compliance for the foreseeable future.

In absence of a default, all borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at the one month Term SOFR Rate plus 1.00% or 1.25% per annum, depending on the leverage ratio. The Company pays a non-usage fee under the current loan agreement at a rate per annum equal to between 0.15% and 0.35% of the unused amount of the credit facility, which fee is paid quarterly.

The Company had $60,000 and $45,000 in outstanding borrowings under its credit facility at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company drew $20,000 for working capital needs from its primary credit facility and has since reduced the balance by $5,000. As of July 31, 2023, the balance on its primary credit facility remains at $60,000.

Other Long-Term Obligations

Prior to applying a discount rate to our lease liabilities, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had approximately $838 and $926 in non-cancelable operating lease obligations, respectively. We had no non-cancelable finance lease obligations as of June 30, 2023 and $10 as of December 31, 2022.

ITEM 3.          QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the normal course of our business, we are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates that could impact our results of operations and financial position.

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates affect the interest paid on indebtedness under the credit facility because outstanding amounts of indebtedness under the credit facility are subject to variable interest rates. Under the credit facility, the non-default rate of interest is equal to the one month Term SOFR plus 1.00% or 1.25% per annum, depending on the leverage ratio, for a rate of interest of 6.3% at June 30, 2023. A one percent change in the interest rate on our variable-rate debt would not have materially impacted our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

19

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are subject to risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our international operations in Europe. We manage our exposure to our foreign currency exchange rate risk through our regular operating and financing activities. Additionally, from time to time, we enter into certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

Because we report in U.S. dollars on a consolidated basis, foreign currency exchange fluctuations have a translation impact on our financial position and results of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized unrealized gains of $837 and $1,816, respectively in our foreign currency translation equity adjustment account because of the fluctuations in valuation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and British pound. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized unrealized losses of $2,305 and $2,280, respectively. These amounts were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate changes on our results of operations and cash flows were net foreign currency exchange gains of $273 and losses of $311, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate changes on our results of operations and cash flows were net foreign currency exchange gains of $611 and losses of $363, respectively.

ITEM 4.          CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

20

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.          LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal course of our business. Litigation is subject to various inherent uncertainties, and it is possible that some of such matters could be resolved unfavorably to us, which could result in substantial damages against us. We establish accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable and maintain product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of any such matters in excess of available insurance coverage and accruals will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 1A.          RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

ITEM 2.          UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Any such shareholder nomination may be made only if written notice of such nomination has been given, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to, and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation (the “Secretary”) at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than  with respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting of shareholders, not less than ninety (90) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days in advance of such meeting, and  with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to shareholders. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual or special meeting of shareholders, or the public disclosure thereof, commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice for a director nomination as described above. In the case of any nomination by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof authorized to make such nominations, compliance with the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) shall constitute compliance with the notice provisions of the preceding sentence.

In the case of any nomination by a shareholder, each such notice shall set forth:  as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director,  the name, age, business address and residence address of such person,  the principal occupation or employment of such person,  the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such person,  any other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies with respect to nominees for election as directors, pursuant to applicable Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including without limitation such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director, if elected), and  a written questionnaire (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request of the shareholder giving such notice by registered mail at least ten (10) days prior to


the submission of such shareholder’s notice in compliance with this Section 1.2) with respect to the background and qualification of each such person whom such shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made;  as to the shareholder giving the notice,  the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such shareholder,  the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such shareholder,  a representation that the shareholder  is a record or beneficial holder of at least one percent (1%) or $1,000 in market value of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting,  has held such stock for at least one year and shall continue to own such stock through the date of such meeting, and  intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to present the nomination; and  a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder. The Chairperson of the meeting (as defined in Section 1.7) may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

Any shareholder or beneficial owner, if any, or any of their respective affiliates, associates, or others acting in concert therewith, directly or indirectly soliciting proxies for the election of directors must use a proxy card color other than white, which color shall be reserved for exclusive use by the Corporation. If a shareholder or beneficial owner, if any, or any of their respective affiliates, associates, or others acting in concert therewith intend to solicit proxies in support of any director nominee other than the Corporation’s nominees, such person shall, in addition to the requirements of this Section 1.2:  deliver to the Corporation, no later than the earlier of the time provided in this Section 1.2 or the time provided in Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, the notice and other information required in Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act; and  deliver to the Corporation, no later than five (5) business days prior to the applicable meeting of shareholders, reasonable evidence that it (including any others acting in concert with it) has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act with respect to such nominees. Unless otherwise required by law, if any shareholder  provides notice in compliance with Rule 14a-19(b) of the Exchange Act and  subsequently fails to comply with any requirement of Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, or any other rules or regulations thereunder, or fails to timely provide the evidence described in the preceding clause (b), then the Corporation shall disregard any proxies or votes solicited for such nominees, and such nominations shall be disregarded.

Section 1.3Notice of New Business. At an annual meeting of the shareholders only such new business shall be conducted, and only such proposals shall be acted upon, as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before the annual meeting such new business must be  specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors,  otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or  otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder who  is a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 1.3 and at the time of the meeting,  is entitled to vote at such meeting and  complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.3.

Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.3. The Chairperson of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that new business or any shareholder proposal was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.3, and if the Chairperson should so determine, the Chairperson shall so declare to the meeting and any such business or proposal not properly brought before the meeting shall not be acted upon at the meeting. This provision shall not prevent the consideration and approval or disapproval at the annual meeting of reports of officers, directors and committees, but in connection with such reports no new business shall be acted upon at such annual meeting unless stated and filed as herein provided.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.3, the shareholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.3.

Whenever the Board of Directors shall fail to fix such place, or, whenever shareholders entitled to call a special meeting shall call the same, the meeting shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation in the State of Tennessee. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that any special meeting of shareholders may be held solely by means of remote communication or held both at a designated physical place and by means of remote communication so long as shareholders participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting.

Special meetings of the shareholders shall be held only upon call of  the Chairperson of the Board of Directors (the “Chairperson of the Board”),  a majority of the Board of Directors, or,  unless the Charter otherwise provides, upon written demand(s), signed, dated and delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation by shareholders holding at least fifteen percent (15%) of the shares of capital stock of the

3


Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on any issue proposed to be considered at such special meeting; provided, however, that each such shareholder must have continuously owned all such shares of capital stock throughout the one-year period preceding, and including, the date of submission of such written demand; provided, further, that such shareholder demand or demands shall have been submitted in accordance with and in the form required by these Bylaws, at such time as may be fixed by the Secretary, and as shall be stated in the call and notice of said meeting, except when the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, as amended (the Business Corporation Act), confers upon the shareholders the right to demand the call of such meeting and fix the date thereof.

4

Section 4.1Shares of Stock. The shares of stock of the Corporation may be certificated or uncertificated, and may be evidenced by registration in the holders name in uncertificated, book-entry form on the books of the Corporation in accordance with a direct registration system; provided, that the Board may authorize the issuance of some or all of any or all classes or series of the stock of the Corporation without certificates. Any authorization of the Board providing for shares without certificates shall not affect shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Notwithstanding any such authorization by the Board, every holder of fully-paid stock represented by certificates and, upon request, every holder of uncertificated shares, shall be entitled to have a certificate, which shall be in such form not inconsistent with the Charter as the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe. Certificates representing shares shall have set forth thereon the statements prescribed by law and shall be signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer and may be sealed with the corporate seal or a facsimile thereof. The signatures of the officers upon a certificate may be facsimiles if the certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or registered by a registrar other than the Corporation itself or its employee. In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such officer were an officer at the date of its issue. Within a reasonable time after the issue or transfer of shares without certificates, if required by Section 48-16-207 of the Business Corporation Act (or any successor provision), the Corporation shall (or shall direct its transfer agent, if any) to send to the shareholder a written statement of the information required on certificates by Sections 48-16-206(b) and (c), and, if applicable, Section 48-16-208, of the Business Corporation Act. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of shares without certificates and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing stock of the same class and series shall be identical.

Section 4.2Transfer of Shares. Upon compliance with provisions restricting the transferability of shares, if any, transfers of shares of the Corporation shall be made only on the share record of the Corporation by the registered holder thereof, or by such holders attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation or with a transfer agent or a registrar, if any, the payment of all taxes due thereon, and, if such shares are represented by a certificate or certificates, upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares properly endorsed, or for shares without certificates, upon the presentation of proper evidence of authority to transfer by the record holder thereof. A certificate representing shares (or, in lieu of a certificate, shares without certificates) shall not be issued until the full amount of consideration therefor has been paid, except as the Business Corporation Act may otherwise permit.

Section 4.3Fractional Shares. The Corporation may issue fractions of a share, in either certificated form or without certificates, where necessary to effect transactions authorized by the Business Corporation Act which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holders fractional holdings, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends and participate in liquidating distributions; or the Corporation may pay in cash the value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such fractions is determined; or it may issue scrip in registered or bearer form over the manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the

13


Corporation or of its agent, exchangeable as therein, provided for full shares, but such scrip shall not entitle the holder to any rights of a shareholder except as therein provided. The Board of Directors shall have power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificated or uncertificated shares of the Corporation.

Section 4.4Replacement Certificates. No certificates representing shares (or, in lieu of new certificates, shares without certificates) shall be issued in place of any certificate alleged to have been lost, destroyed or stolen, except on production of such evidence of such loss, destruction or theft as the Board of Directors may require, and on delivery to the Corporation, if the Board of Directors shall so require, of a bond of indemnity in such amount, upon such terms and secured by such surety as the Board of Directors may in its discretion require.

Section 4.5Registered Shareholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Tennessee.

The rights provided to any person by this bylaw

14


shall be enforceable against the Corporation by such person who shall be presumed to have relied upon it in serving or continuing to serve as a director, officer or employee as provided above.

3.02Exclusive Benefits.  Any Severance Benefits payable to a Participant under this Plan will be paid solely in lieu of, and not in addition to, any severance benefits payable under any offer letter, severance arrangement or other program or agreement on account of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Employer under the circumstances covered by this Plan.  A Participant’s acceptance of participation in this Plan pursuant to Section 3.01 above shall constitute a waiver by such Participant of all other rights to severance benefits (or any similar separation benefits) in connection with a Change in Control that the Participant may have or claim with respect to the Employer.

3.03End of Participation.  An individual shall cease to be a Participant on the date on which the individual ceases to be an employee of the Employer other than by a Qualifying Termination.  Except as provided in this and the next sentence, the Committee may discontinue an individual’s status as a Participant; provided, however, that no such discontinuance shall become effective (i) during the one-year period following the date on which advance written notice of such discontinuance is provided to the affected Participant in the manner specified in Section 6.10, or (ii) during the CIC Period.  In the event that an individual incurs a Qualifying Termination while still a Participant, such individual shall remain a Participant until all Severance Benefits required to be provided to the Participant under the terms of the Plan on account of such Qualifying Termination have been paid or provided.

ARTICLE FOUR

SEVERANCE BENEFITS

4.01Release Requirement.  A Participant will be eligible for the Severance Benefits described in Section 4.02 below, subject to the Release requirement specified in this Section 4.01.  Within seven (7) days following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, the Company shall provide the Participant with a Release.  As a condition of receiving the Severance Benefits described in Section 4.02, the Participant must execute and deliver the Release to the Company within the Release Consideration Period, the Release Revocation Period must expire without revocation of the Release by the Participant.

4.02Qualifying Termination.  If a Participant incurs a Qualifying Termination, the Company shall pay or provide to the Participant the Accrued Obligations and the following Severance Benefits, subject to the Release requirement specified in Section 4.01 above.

(a)Severance Pay.  The Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the Participant’s Tier Level Multiplier times the sum of (i) the Participant’s Base Salary, and (ii) the Participant’s Target Bonus.  This amount shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum within sixty (60) days following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service (except as provided in Section 4.03(f) and subject to the requirements of Section 4.03(e)).

(b)Equity and Long-Term Incentives.  Any equity or long-term compensation grant or award outstanding to the Participant shall be treated as specified by the terms of the applicable equity or long-term incentive compensation plan under which the grant or award was made and the applicable award agreement.

(c)Prorated Bonus.  The Company shall pay the Participant a prorated annual bonus for the year of termination equal to the amount, if any, accrued on the Company’s financials for such Participant as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service.  Such bonus shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum within sixty (60) days following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service (except as provided in Section 4.03(f) and subject to the requirements of Section 4.03(e)).

(d)COBRA.  The Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to eighteen (18) times the monthly COBRA premium in effect on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service for the type of Employer-provided group health plan coverage in effect for the Participant and his or her dependents (e.g., employee only, family coverage) on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service and will permit Participant to elect to be covered by the Employer’s group health plan for such 18-month period or the lesser period permitted by the Company’s benefits plans and applicable law (which period will run concurrently with any eligibility for COBRA coverage and assumes the Participant timely elects such COBRA coverage).  This amount shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum within sixty (60) days following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service (except as provided in Section 4.03(f) and subject to the requirements of Section 4.03(e)).

4.03Section 409A.

(a)To the extent necessary to ensure compliance with Section 409A, the provisions of this Section 4.03 shall govern in all cases over any contrary or conflicting

7


provision in the Plan.  It is the intent of the Company that this Plan comply with the requirements of Section 409A with respect to any nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A.   The Plan shall be interpreted and administered to maximize the exemptions from Section 409A and, to the extent the Plan provides for deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, to comply with Section 409A and to avoid the imposition of tax, interest and/or penalties upon any Participant under Section 409A.

(b)The Company does not, however, assume the liability for any taxes associated with Section 409A. The Company, the Subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees and advisers will not be liable to any Participant (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Participant) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Participant may owe as a result of participation in the Plan.  Neither the Company nor the Subsidiaries have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect any Participant from any obligation to pay taxes under Code Section 409A.

(c)The right to a series of payments under the Plan will be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.  Each separate payment that is made within 2-½ months following the end of the year that contains the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service is intended to be exempt from Section 409A as a short-term deferral within the meaning of the final regulations under Section 409A.  Each separate payment that is made later than 2-½ months following the end of the year that contains the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service is intended to be exempt under the two-times exception of Treasury Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), up to the limitation on the availability of that exception specified in the regulation and subject to the conditions on the applicability of that exemption.  Then, each separate payment that is made after the two-times exception ceases to be available shall be subject to delay, as necessary, in accordance with Section 4.03(f) below.

(d)It is intended that each lump sum payment made pursuant to Section 4.02(b), shall be exempt from Section 409A as a short-term deferral within the meaning of the final regulations under Section 409A.

(e)To the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, in no event may a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the taxable year of payment.  In particular, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, because any payment to a Participant under this Plan is conditioned upon the Participant’s executing and not revoking a Release, if the designated payment period for such payment begins in one taxable year and ends in the next taxable year, the payment will be made in the later taxable year.

(f)To the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, references in this Plan to “termination of employment” or “terminates employment” (and similar references) shall have the same meaning as Separation from Service, and no payment subject to Section 409A that is payable upon a termination of employment shall be paid unless and until (and not later than applicable in compliance with Section 409A) the Participant incurs a Separation from Service.  In addition, if the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) at the time of his or her Separation from Service, any nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A that would otherwise have been payable on account of, and within the first six months following, the Participant’s Separation from Service, and not by reason of another event under Section 409A(a)(2)(A), will become payable on the first business day after six months following

8


the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death.

(g)To the extent that any reimbursement by the Employer to a Participant of eligible expenses under this Plan constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “Reimbursement”) (i) the Participant must request the Reimbursement (with substantiation of the expense incurred) no later than 30 days following the date on which the Participant incurs the corresponding eligible expense; (ii) subject to any shorter time period provided in any expense reimbursement policy of the Employer or specifically provided otherwise in this Plan, the Employer shall make the Reimbursement to the Participant on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant incurred the eligible expense; (iii) the Participant’s right to Reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and (iv) the amount eligible for Reimbursement in one calendar year shall not affect the amount eligible for Reimbursement in any other calendar year.

4.04Enforcement Costs.  Except as provided in Section 6.06(c), each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including legal fees, that may be incurred in enforcing its respective rights under this Plan.

4.05Code Section 280G.

(a)A Participant shall bear all expense of, and be solely responsible for, any Excise Tax; provided, however, that any Payment that would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the Excise Tax but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by the Participant shall exceed by at least $50,000, the net after-tax benefit that would be received by the Participant if no such reduction was made.

(b)The “net after-tax benefit” shall mean (i) the Payments which the Participant receives or is then entitled to receive from the Employer that would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G, less (ii) the amount of all federal, state and local income and employment taxes payable by the Participant with respect to the foregoing calculated at the highest marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid to the Participant (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (iii) the amount of Excise Tax imposed with respect to the payments and benefits described in (b)(i) above.

(c)All determinations under this Section 4.05 will be made by an Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall be required, in part, to evaluate the extent to which payments are exempt from Section 280G as reasonable compensation for services rendered before or after the Change in Control.  All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid solely by the Company.  The Company will direct the Accounting Firm to submit any determination it makes under this Section 4.05 and detailed supporting calculations to both the Participant and the Company as soon as reasonably practicable following the Change in Control or the Qualifying Termination, as applicable.

(d)If the Accounting Firm determines that one or more reductions are required under this Section 4.05, such Payments shall be reduced in the order that

9


would provide the Participant with the largest amount of after-tax proceeds (with such order determined by the Accounting Firm) to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the Excise Tax, and the Company shall pay such reduced amount to the Participant.  To the extent any order of reduction of Payments is required to be set forth herein, then such reduction shall be applied in the following order: (i) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable last reduced first; (ii) payments due in respect of any equity valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced next (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable or deliverable last reduced first; (iii) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 will be reduced next (if necessary, to zero), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24); (iv) payments due in respect of any equity valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 will be reduced next (if necessary, to zero), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24); and (v) all other non-cash benefits will be next reduced pro-rata.

(e)As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Code Section 280G at the time that the Accounting Firm makes its determinations under this Section 4.05, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed to the Participant that should not have been paid or distributed (collectively, the “overpayments”), or that additional amounts should be paid or distributed to the Participant (collectively, the “underpayments”).  If the Accounting Firm determines, based on either the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Employer or the Participant, which assertion the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success or is otherwise based on controlling precedent or substantial authority, that an overpayment has been made, the Participant must repay the overpayment to the Company, without interest; provided, however, that no loan will be deemed to have been made and no amount will be payable by the Participant to the Company unless, and then only to the extent that, the deemed loan and payment would either reduce the amount on which the Participant is subject to tax under Code Section 4999 or generate a refund of tax imposed under Code Section 4999.  If the Accounting Firm determines, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority that an underpayment has occurred, the Accounting Firm will notify the Participant and the Company of that determination and the Company will promptly pay the amount of that underpayment to the Participant without interest.

(f)The parties will provide the Accounting Firm access to and copies of any books, records, and documents in their possession as reasonably requested by the Accounting Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the Accounting Firm in connection with the preparation and issuance of the determinations and calculations contemplated by this Section 4.05.  For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 4.05, the Accounting Firm may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Code Sections 280G and 4999.

4.06Recoupment or Recovery of Severance Benefits.  Severance Benefits under the Plan shall be subject to any policy of recoupment of compensation adopted or amended from time to time by the Board or the Committee, including, without limitation, any policy they deem necessary or desirable to comply with the requirements of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall

10


Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (providing for recovery of erroneously awarded compensation), Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (providing for forfeiture of certain bonuses and profits), and any implementing rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable listing standards of a national securities exchange adopted in accordance with either of these Acts which policy is incorporated into this Plan.

ARTICLE FIVE

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

Subject to the next sentence, the Committee in all respects shall have the right at any time and from time to time, by instrument in writing, to amend, modify, alter, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may not amend, modify, alter or terminate this Plan so as to adversely affect payments or benefits then payable, or which could become payable, to a Participant under the Plan, except to the minimum extent required to comply with any applicable law, either (i) during the one-year period following the date on which advance written notice of such amendment, modification, alteration or termination is provided to the affected Participants in the manner specified in Section 6.10, or (ii) during the CIC Period.

ARTICLE SIX

MISCELLANEOUS

6.01Participant Rights.  Except to the extent required or provided for by mandatorily imposed law as in effect and applicable hereto from time to time, neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the payment of any benefits, shall be construed as giving to any Participant or other person any legal or equitable right against the Employer, or any officer or employee thereof, or the Board or the Administrator, except as herein provided; nor shall any Participant have any legal right, title or interest in the assets of the Employer.  This Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment nor afford any individual any right to be retained or continued in the employ of the Employer or in any way limit the right of the Employer to discharge any of its employees, with or without cause.  Participants have no right to receive any payments or benefits that the Employer is prohibited by applicable law from making.

6.02Administrator Authority.

(a)The Administrator will administer the Plan and have the full authority and discretion to accomplish that purpose, including, without limitation, the authority and discretion to:

(i)  resolve all questions relating to the eligibility of Participants;

(ii)  determine the amount of benefits, if any, payable to Participants under the Plan and determine the time and manner in which such benefits are to be paid;

(iii)  engage any administrative, legal, tax, actuarial, accounting, clerical, or other services it deems appropriate in administering the Plan;

(iv)  construe and interpret the Plan, supply omissions from, correct deficiencies in and resolve inconsistencies or ambiguities in the language of the Plan, resolve inconsistencies or ambiguities between the provisions of this

11


document, and adopt rules for the administration of the Plan which are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan document;

(v)  compile and maintain all records it determines to be necessary, appropriate or convenient in connection with the administration of the Plan; and

(vi)  resolve all questions of fact relating to any matter for which it has administrative responsibility.

(b)The Administrator shall perform all of the duties and may exercise all of the powers that the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan, including, but not limited to, delegation of any of its duties to one or more authorized officers.  All references to the authority of the Administrator in this Plan shall be read to include the authority of any party to which the Administrator delegates such authority.

(c)Any failure by the Administrator to apply any provisions of this Plan to any particular situation shall not represent a waiver of the Administrator’s authority to apply such provisions thereafter.  Every interpretation, choice, determination or other exercise of any power or discretion given either expressly or by implication to the Administrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties having or claiming to have an interest under the Plan or otherwise directly or indirectly affected by such action, without restriction, however, on the right of the Administrator to reconsider and re-determine such action.

(d)Any decision rendered by the Administrator and any review of such decision shall be limited to determining whether the decision was so arbitrary and capricious as to be an abuse of discretion.  The Administrator may adopt such rules and procedures for the administration of the Plan as are consistent with the terms hereof.

6.03Claims and Appeals Procedure.

(a)With respect to any claim for benefits which are provided exclusively under this Plan, the claim and any related appeal shall be administered pursuant to subsections (b) through (k) below.  With respect to any claim for benefits which, under the terms of the Plan, are provided under another employee benefit plan or program maintained by an Employer, the Administrator shall determine any claim and any related appeal regarding an individual’s eligibility under the Plan pursuant to subsections (b) through (k) below but the administration of any other claim and any related appeal with respect to such benefits (including the amount of such benefits) shall be subject to the claims and appeals procedure specified in such other employee benefit plan or program.

(b)A Participant or his or her duly authorized representative (the “claimant”) may make a claim for benefits under the Plan by filing a written claim with the Administrator.  Determinations of each such claim shall be made as described below; provided, however, that the claimant and the Administrator may agree to extended periods of time for making determinations beyond those periods described below.

(c)The Administrator will notify a claimant of its decision regarding his or her claim within a reasonable period of time, but not later than ninety (90) days following the date on which the claim is filed, unless special circumstances require a longer period for

12


processing of the claim and the claimant is notified in writing of the reasons for an extension of time prior to the end of the initial ninety (90) day period and the date by which the Administrator expects to make the final decision.  In no event will the Administrator be given an extension for processing the claim beyond one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which the claim is first filed with the Administrator unless otherwise agreed in writing by the claimant and the Administrator.

(d)If a claim is denied, the Administrator will notify the claimant of its decision in writing.  Such notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and will contain the following information:  the specific reason(s) for the denial; a specific reference to the Plan provision(s) on which the denial is based; a description of additional information necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, if any, and an explanation of why such material is necessary; and an explanation of the Plan’s claim review procedure and the applicable time limits under such procedure and a statement as to the claimant’s right to arbitration under Section 6.06 after all of the Plan’s review procedures have been satisfied.

(e)The claimant shall have sixty (60) days following receipt of the notice of denial to file a written request with the Administrator for a review of the denied claim.  The decision by the Administrator with respect to the review must be given within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request, unless special circumstances require an extension and the claimant is notified in writing of the reasons for an extension of time prior to the end of the initial sixty (60) day period and the date by which the Administrator expects to make the final decision.  In no event will the decision be delayed beyond one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for review unless otherwise agreed in writing by the claimant and the Administrator.

(f)Every claimant will be provided a reasonable opportunity for a full and fair review of an adverse determination.  A full and fair review means the following:  the claimant will be given the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records, etc. with regard to the claim, and the review will take into account all information submitted by the claimant, regardless of whether it was reviewed as part of the initial determination; and the claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge, with copies of all documents and information relevant to the claim for benefits.

(g)The Administrator will notify the claimant of its decision regarding an appeal of a denied claim in writing.  The decision will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and will include:  the specific reason(s) for the denial and adverse determination; a reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the denial is based; a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and a statement regarding the claimant’s right to arbitration under Section 6.06.

(h)If the Administrator fails to follow these procedures consistent with the requirements of ERISA with respect to any claim, the claimant will be deemed to have exhausted all administrative remedies under the Plan and will have the right to arbitration under Section 6.06.  This Article VI shall be interpreted such that the claims procedures applicable under the Plan conform to the claims review requirements of Part 5, Title I, of ERISA, and the applicable provisions set forth in Department of Labor regulation section 2560.503-1.

13


(i)Any claim that is filed in arbitration must be filed within two (2) years of the later of the date the Participant received the Severance Benefit (unless no Severance Benefit is determined by the Administrator to be payable) or the date of the relevant Participant’s Separation from Service.  Any claim filed in arbitration after the applicable time frame stated above will be void.

6.04Reliance on Tables and Reports.  In administering the Plan, the Administrator is entitled to the extent permitted by law to rely conclusively upon all tables, valuations, certificates, opinions and reports which are furnished by accountants, legal counsel or other experts employed or engaged by the Administrator.  The Administrator will be fully protected in respect of any action taken or suffered by the Administrator in good faith reliance upon all such tables, valuations, certificates, reports, opinions or other advice.  The Administrator is also entitled to rely upon any data or information furnished by the Employer or by a Participant as to any information pertinent to any calculation or determination to be made under the provisions of the Plan, and, as a condition to payment of any benefit under the Plan the Administrator may request a Participant to furnish such information as it deems necessary or desirable in administering the Plan.

6.05Expenses.  All Plan administration expenses shall be paid by the Company.

6.06Arbitration of Disputes.

(a)Any dispute, claim or controversy arising under or in connection with this Plan and a Participant’s right to Severance Benefits that is not resolved under Section 6.03, shall be settled exclusively by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and carried out in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA rules governing commercial arbitration in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as modified herein.  There shall be one arbitrator, mutually selected by the Company and Participant from a list of arbitrators provided by the AAA within 30 days of receipt by respondent of the demand for arbitration.  If the Company and Participant cannot mutually agree on an arbitrator within 30 days, then the parties shall request that the AAA appoint the arbitrator and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA within 15 days of receiving such request.  The parties agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. and the AAA Employment Arbitration Rules shall apply to the interpretation and enforcement of this Plan.  The place of arbitration shall be Chattanooga, Tennessee.  The arbitratror shall have the right to review the dispute, claim or controversy on a de novo basis and shall not be limited to the record of appeal.

(b)The parties shall request, and use reasonable business efforts to insure that the arbitration commences within 60 days after the appointment of the arbitrator; that the arbitration shall be completed within 90 days of commencement; and that the arbitrator’s award shall be made within 60 days following such completion.  The parties may agree to extend the time limits specified in the foregoing sentence.

(c)The arbitrator may award any form of relief permitted under this Plan and applicable law, including damages and temporary or permanent injunctive relief, except that the arbitral tribunal is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any dispute.  The arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys’ fees to Participant if the Participant prevails on at least one

14


material issue in the arbitration.  The Company shall pay all expenses of any arbitration (other than the expenses of Participant’s counsel, except to the extent provided in the preceding sentence).  The award shall be in writing and shall state the reasons for the award.

(d)The decision rendered by the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties to this Plan.  Judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The parties hereto waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any rights to appeal to, or to seek review of such award by, any court.  The parties hereto further agree to obtain the arbitral tribunal’s agreement to preserve the confidentiality of the arbitration.

6.07Successors.

(a)This Plan shall bind any successor of or to the Company, its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place.  In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  Failure of the Company to obtain the agreement provided for in the preceding sentence in connection with a Change in Control will constitute a material breach of the Plan by the Company, which will entitle the Participant to terminate employment for Good Reason and obtain the Severance Benefits provided in Section 4.02.

(b)The Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon and enforceable by the Company and the Participants and their personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.  If a Participant should die after incurring a Qualifying Termination and prior to receiving all of the Severance Benefits, the Severance Benefits (or any remaining amounts) shall be paid to the beneficiary designated by the Participant in a beneficiary designation form for this Plan, and in the event no such form is provided or the Participant has not otherwise properly designated a beneficiary, the Severance Benefits shall be payable to the Participant’s spouse and if the Participant has no living spouse, to the Participant’s estate, provided that in all cases the Participant’s beneficiary or estate signs a Release similar to the form to be signed by the Participant as a condition of payment of such Severance Benefits.

6.08Construction.  In determining the meaning of the Plan, words imparting the masculine gender shall include the feminine and the singular shall include the plural, unless the context requires otherwise.  Unless otherwise stated, references to Sections are references to Sections of this Plan.  Whenever an example is provided or the text uses the term “including” followed by a specific item or items, or there is a passage having similar effect, such passages of the Plan shall be construed as if the phrase “without limitation” followed such example or term (or otherwise applied to such passage in a manner that avoids limits on its breadth of application).

6.09References to Other Plans and Programs.  Each reference in the Plan to any plan, policy or program, the Plan or document of the Employer or affiliate of the Employer shall

15


include any amendments or successor provisions thereto without the necessity of amending the Plan for such changes.

6.10Notices.  Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, when delivered by email with a return receipt or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid or when sent by express U.S. mail or overnight delivery through a national delivery service (or an international delivery service in the case of an address outside the U.S.) with signature required.  Notice to the Company, the Board or the Administrator shall be directed to the attention of the Secretary of the Company at the address of the Company’s headquarters, and notice to a Participant shall be directed to the Participant at the most recent personal residence on file with the Company.

6.11Service of Legal Process.  Service of legal process may be made upon the Administrator to the attention of the Secretary of the Company at the address of the Company’s headquarters.

6.12Plan Year.  The records of the Plan shall be maintained on the basis of the Company’s fiscal year, which, as of the Effective Date, is the calendar year.

6.13No Duty to Mitigate.  The Participant shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided pursuant to this Plan, nor shall the amount of any such payment be reduced by any compensation that the Participant receives from any other source, except as provided in this Plan.

6.14Withholding of Taxes.  The Employer may withhold from any amount payable or benefit provided under this Plan such Federal, state, local, foreign and other taxes as are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

6.15Governing Law.  Except to the extent that the Plan may be subject to the provisions of ERISA and the Code, the Plan will be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Tennessee, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

6.16Validity/Severability.  If any provision of this Plan or the application of any provision to any person or circumstances is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Plan and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstances will not be affected, and the provision so held to be invalid or unenforceable will be reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it enforceable or valid.  To the extent any provisions held to be invalid or unenforceable cannot be reformed, such provisions are to be stricken here from and the remainder of this Plan will be binding on the Parties and their successors and assigns as if such invalid or illegal provisions were never included in this Plan from the first instance.

6.17Miscellaneous.  No waiver by a Participant or the Employer at any time of any breach by the other party of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Plan to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the time or at any prior or subsequent time.  No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party that are not expressly set forth in this Plan.

16


6.18Source of Payments.  All payments provided under this Plan, other than payments made pursuant to any Employer employee benefit plan which provides otherwise, shall be paid in cash from the general funds of the Company, and no special or separate fund shall be required to be established, and no other segregation of assets required to be made, to assure payment.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured creditor of the Company.

6.19Survival of Provisions.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Participants under Article Four and Sections 6.03 and 6.06 through 6.19 will survive any termination or expiration of this Plan or the termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason whatsoever.

at the Termination Date], all of the foregoing as amended; any other federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance regulating employment discrimination, wages, hours and working conditions, or other worker protections; or any other federal, state or local statutory or common law where I was employed or resided pertaining to employment relations, my employment or the termination of my employment, including any action based on any alleged breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, fraudulent inducement or any other tort; any violation of public policy or statutory or constitutional rights; severance pay, bonus or similar benefit; sick leave; pension or retirement; vacation pay (other than as due in the ordinary course in a final paycheck) or holiday pay; equity compensation; car allowance; life insurance, health or medical insurance, or any other fringe benefit; any claim for reimbursement of health or medical costs; and any claim for disability.

For purposes of this Release, the term “Released Parties” means the Company, and each of its respective parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and all of the current and former employees, officers, directors, trustees, agents, representatives, shareholders, attorneys, accountants, partners, insurers, advisors, partnerships, joint venturers, successors and assigns, employee benefit programs (and the trustees, administrators, fiduciaries and insurers of such programs) of any of them, in their individual and official capacities, and the respective heirs and personal representatives of any of them, and any other persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with, any of them.

b.Unknown Claims.  I understand and agree that the claims released in Paragraph 3.a include not only claims presently known to me, but also all unknown or unanticipated claims, rights, demands, actions, obligations, liabilities and causes of action of every kind and character that would otherwise come within the scope of the released claims as described in Paragraph 3.a.  I understand that I may hereafter discover facts different from what I now believe to be true that, if known, could have materially affected my willingness to execute and the terms of this Release, but I nevertheless waive and release any claims or rights based on different or additional facts.

c.Exclusions from Release.

1.Certain Exclusions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Release does not include and will not preclude: (a) rights or claims to vested benefits under any applicable retirement and/or pension plans or to the Accrued Obligations; (b) rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”); (c) any claims not waivable by applicable law (including, where applicable, workers’ compensation claims and unemployment claims) or arising after the date I sign this Release; and/or (d) any actions to enforce this Release or to receive the Severance Benefits.

2.Indemnification.  The Company agrees that I am not releasing any claims or rights I may have for indemnification under state or other law or the governing documents of the Company and any affiliated companies, or under any indemnification agreement with the Company or under any insurance policy providing directors’ and officers’ coverage for any lawsuit or claim relating to the period when I was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any affiliated company; provided, however, that (i) the Company’s acknowledgement is not a concession, acknowledgment, or guaranty that I have any such rights to

E-2


indemnification or coverage in a particular matter, and (ii) the Company retains any defenses it may have to such indemnification or coverage.

4.No Claims.  Except as permitted hereby, I agree that I will not file, nor encourage or knowingly permit another to file, any claim, charge, action, or complaint (collectively “Claim”) concerning any matter released herein.  If I have previously filed any such Claim, I agree to take all steps necessary to cause it to be withdrawn without delay; provided, however, that nothing in this Release: (i) prevents me from filing a Claim with, cooperating with, or participating in any proceeding before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or a state fair employment practices agency (except that I acknowledge that I may not recover any monetary benefits in connection with any such Claim; I further waive any rights or claims to any payment, benefit, attorneys’ fees or other remedial relief in connection with any such charge, investigation or proceeding; and I agree that if any such Claim is filed on my behalf, I shall take all reasonable steps necessary to refuse any damages or individualized relief in connection therewith), or (ii) shall limit or restrict my right to (a) challenge the validity of this Release under the ADEA, or (b) prosecute any ADEA claim if such claim arises after I sign this Release, and no such action on my part shall be deemed to violate this provision or any other provision of this Release.  This Release does not prohibit or prevent me from engaging in activities that are not waivable and are protected by applicable federal or state laws.  Further, nothing in this Release or other policies or contracts covering me prohibits me from communicating with government agencies about possible violations of federal, state, or local laws or otherwise providing information to government agencies, filing a complaint with government agencies, or participating in government agency investigations or proceedings, or from receiving an award for information provided to any government agency.  I have been advised that I am not required to notify the Company of any such communications; provided, however, that nothing herein authorizes the disclosure of information I obtained through a communication that was subject to the attorney-client privilege.

5.Release Negotiations Confidential.  I represent and agree that I will keep the details of negotiation with respect to this Release completely confidential, and that I will not disclose such information to anyone, except as follows: (a) to my immediate family and professional representatives (provided they are informed of this confidentiality provision); (b) to any governmental authority; and (c) in response to subpoena or other legal process, provided that before making such disclosure (other than in response to a subpoena or other process issued by a government agency), I shall give the Company as much prior notice thereof as practical to enable the Company to seek, at its sole discretion, an appropriate order preventing such disclosure.  I am not required to maintain the confidentiality of the negotiations to the extent the Company publicly discloses the details of such negotiations.

6.Continuing Obligations.  Except as otherwise permitted by Paragraph 4 above or in the Restrictive Covenants (as defined in the Plan), I acknowledge and reaffirm my obligation to keep confidential and not to use or disclose any and all non-public information concerning the Company that I acquired during the course of my employment with the Company, including any non-public information concerning the Company’s business affairs, business prospects, and financial condition, provided that I may respond to subpoena or other legal process, provided that before making such disclosure (other than in response to a subpoena or other process issued by a government agency), I shall give the Company as much prior notice thereof as practical to enable the Company to seek, at its sole discretion, an appropriate order preventing such disclosure.  I further acknowledge and reaffirm my continuing obligations with respect to the Restrictive Covenants, all of which remain in full force and effect.

E-3


7.Return of Company Property.  I confirm that I have returned to the Company in good working order all Company-owned keys, files, records (and copies thereof), equipment (including computer hardware, software and printers, wireless handheld devices, cellular phones, tablets, smartphones, etc.), Company identification, Company proprietary and confidential information, and any other Company-owned property in my possession or control; that I will have left intact with, or delivered intact to (without deleting, wiping or destroying any information found thereon), the Company all electronic Company documents and internal and external websites including those that I developed or helped to develop during my employment; and that I have thereafter deleted, and destroyed any hard copies of, all electronic files relating to the Company that are in my possession or control, including any that are located on any of my personal computers or external or cloud storage.  I further confirm that I have cancelled all accounts for my benefit, if any, in the Company’s name, including credit cards, telephone charge cards, cellular phone accounts, and computer accounts.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, I have been advised that I may retain my address book to the extent it contains only contact information and that the Company will reasonably cooperate with me as to the transfer of my cell phone number.

8.Acknowledgement.  I acknowledge that I have received all wages owed to me by the Company and that I am not aware of any unreported workplace injuries that I suffered while an employee of the Company.

9.Entire Agreement.  Except as referenced in Paragraph 6 above, this Release constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and me as to any matter referred to in this Release.  This Release supersedes all other agreements between the Company and me, other than the general benefit plans under which I am a participant and any outstanding equity awards from the Company.  In executing this Release, I am not relying upon any agreement, representation, written or oral statement, understanding, omission, or course of conduct that is not expressly set forth in this Release.

10.Governing Law; Arbitration.  This Release shall be governed by and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflicts of law principles.  I acknowledge that I previously agreed, pursuant to Section 6.06 of the Plan, to arbitrate any claim under or in connection with the Plan, and I acknowledge and affirm that such provision survives my termination from employment with the Company.  For clarification, but not limitation, I further acknowledge and agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or in any way relating to this Release or the breach thereof shall also be settled by final and binding arbitration, consistent with the terms, procedures, and exceptions set forth in Section 6.06 of the Plan.  I understand and agree that this arbitration provision shall not apply to claims brought in a court of competent jurisdiction by either me or any Released Party to compel arbitration under this provision, to enforce an arbitration award or to obtain preliminary injunctive and/or other equitable relief in support of claims that may be prosecuted in an arbitration by me or any Released Party.

11.Successors and Assigns.  This Release will bind and inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Released Parties and me.

12.Review Period; Revocation.  Because this agreement affects important legal rights, I understand that the Company hereby advises me to consult with an attorney of my choice to review the Release, and I have taken such opportunity to the extent I wish to do so.  I further acknowledge that the Company has given me at least [twenty-one (21)] days to decide whether I wish to execute this Release.  I understand that I may revoke this Release at any time

E-4


during the seven (7) days after I sign it (the “Revocation Period”), and that the Release shall not become effective until the end of that Revocation Period.  I understand and agree that by executing, timely returning, and not revoking this Release, I am waiving any and all rights or claims I might have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, and that I have received consideration beyond that to which I was entitled without providing this Release.  If I choose to revoke the Release, such revocation must be by means of a writing signed by me and delivered within the seven (7) day Revocation Period as follows: via email, facsimile or hand-delivery to [_________] at Miller Industries, Inc., [___________] or by facsimile number [_________].  If I revoke this Release via facsimile or email, I agree that my facsimile or electronic signature will be valid and binding for all purposes.

13.Modification in Writing.  No provision of this Release may be modified, amended or waived except by a writing signed by me and an authorized representative of the Company.

14.No Admission of Liability.  This Release shall not at any time or for any purpose be deemed an admission of liability of any kind by any Released Party.  This Release may not be used or introduced as evidence in any legal proceeding, except to enforce or challenge its terms.

15.Headings; Interpretation.  The headings, titles and captions contained in this Release are inserted only for the convenience of the parties and for reference, and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Release or the intent of any provision hereof.  References in this Release to “include” or “including” should be read as though they said “without limitation” or equivalent forms.

16.Severability.  If any provision of this Release shall, for any reason, be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such adjudication shall in no way affect any other provisions of this Release or the validity or enforcement of the remainder of this Release, and any provision thus affected shall itself be modified only to the extent necessary to bring the provision within the applicable requirements of the law.

17.Timely Execution.  To receive the Severance Benefits, I must sign this Release on or after my Separation Date, and return it to the Company on or before the [twenty-first (21st) day] after my Separation Date, as follows:  by email to ________________, by hand delivery or first-class mail to [______________________________] or by facsimile number [____________].

Recently Adopted Standards

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) which requires the Company to measure and recognize contract assets and contract liabilities when purchased as part of a business combination. According to the guidance, the acquirer must follow ASC Topic 606 in accounting for the contract asset or contract liability being purchased. The amendments in the update were effective for financial statements beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has applied the amendments prospectively. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Also during the first quarter of 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The update requires entities with financing receivables to disclose gross write-offs by year of origination of the receivable. The amendments in the update were effective for financial statements beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and has been applied prospectively. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the condensed Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3.          BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On May 31, 2023, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Southern Hydraulic Cylinder, Inc., (“SHC”), a Tennessee corporation. SHC manufactures, sells and services hydraulic cylinders and related components. The operations of SHC align with those of the Company, which management believes will bolster its efforts to enhance the stability of the Company’s supply chain.

The purchase price totaling approximately $17.8 million was comprised of cash on hand and by drawing on the existing revolving credit facility.

The preliminary allocation of the consideration for the net assets acquired from the acquisition of SHC were as follows:

The acquired business contributed revenues of $919 and earnings of $33 to the Company for the period from June 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023. Earnings for the period include adjustments made for the elimination of intercompany sales and profits, as well as sales of finished goods recorded at market value as part of the acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the Company as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2022.

The Company did not have any material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.

The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the significant synergies expected to arise after the Company’s acquisition of Southern Hydraulic Cylinder, Inc.

The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of the assets acquired includes trade receivables of $2,244 that are not purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The Company does not anticipate any markdowns of trade receivables or corresponding credit losses.

The initial accounting is incomplete due to the timing of the closing in relation to this quarterly filing. The Company is still evaluating the value of certain assets acquired and will be obtaining a third-party valuation. Any adjustments to the value of assets, such as intangible assets, fixed assets or inventory, will be disclosed in future filings.

Transaction costs incurred in the acquisition were not material and were primarily related to legal, accounting and consulting services and were expensed as incurred through June 30, 2023 and are included in Selling, General and Administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. 

The allocations of the fair value of the acquired business were based on preliminary valuations of the estimated net fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value estimates are subject to adjustment during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The fair values of the net assets acquired are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management. During the measurement period, we will adjust preliminary valuations assigned to assets and liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, if any, that, if known, would have resulted in revised values for these items as of that date. The net working capital adjustment related to the acquisitions are estimated as of the closing date and will be adjusted based on that estimate. Net working capital adjustments, if any, will be recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The impact of all changes, if any, that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in current period earnings.

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The Company uses the treasury stock method to account for the effect of nonvested restricted stock units on the computation of diluted income per share. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, 128 thousand nonvested restricted stock units would have been anti-dilutive. There were 5 thousand restricted stock units that vested in June 2023, with 29 thousand shares being issued and no shares being forfeited. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, 128 thousand of the nonvested restricted stock units would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, 160 thousand nonvested restricted stock units would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, none of the nonvested restricted stock units would have been anti-dilutive.

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. Except for certain extended service contracts on a small percentage of units sold, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and sales revenue is recognized when products are shipped from the Company’s facilities. From time to time, revenue is recognized under a bill and hold arrangement. Recognition of revenue on bill and hold arrangements occurs when control transfers to the customer. The bill and hold arrangement must be substantive, and the product must be separately identified as belonging to the customer, ready for physical transfer, and unavailable to be used or directed to another customer.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for the transfer of products. Sales and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Warranty related costs are recognized as an expense at the time products are sold and a reserve is established. Depending on the terms of the arrangement, for certain contracts the Company may defer the recognition of a portion of the consideration received because a future obligation has not yet been satisfied, such as an extended service contract. An observable price is used to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations or a cost plus margin approach is utilized when one is not available.

Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily relate to performance obligations to be satisfied in the future. For both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, contract liability balances were $242, and are included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. No revenue related to contract liability balances was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, or during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company did not have any contract assets at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business. Collections from customers are continuously monitored and an allowance for credit losses is maintained based on historical experience adjusted for current conditions and forecasts capturing country and industry-specific economic factors. The Company also considers any specific customer collection issues. Since the Company’s trade receivables are largely similar, the Company evaluates its allowance for credit losses as one portfolio segment. At origination, the Company evaluates credit risk based on a variety of credit quality factors including prior payment experience, customer financial information, credit ratings, probabilities of default, industry trends and other internal metrics. On an ongoing basis, data by each major customer is regularly reviewed based on past-due status to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and actual write-offs are charged against the allowance. Terms on accounts receivable vary and are based on specific terms agreed upon with each customer. Write-offs of accounts receivable were de minimis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.  

Trade accounts receivable are generally diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many geographic regions. The Company also frequently monitors the creditworthiness of the customers to whom the credit is granted in the normal course of business. No one customer made up more than 10% of total Company sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Sales from one customer made up approximately 10.0% of total Company sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. There were no customers with accounts receivable greater than 10% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2023. Accounts receivable from one customer made up approximately 10% of total Company trade accounts receivable at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Credit Facility

The Company’s current loan agreement with First Horizon Bank, which governs its existing $100.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 31, 2027, contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and financial, affirmative and negative covenants for loan agreements of this kind. The credit facility restricts the payment of cash dividends if the payment would cause the Company to be in violation of the minimum tangible net worth test or the leverage ratio test in the loan agreement, among various other customary covenants. The Company has been in compliance with these covenants throughout 2022 and during the first six months of 2023, and it is anticipated that the Company will continue to be in compliance for the foreseeable future.

In absence of a default, all borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at the one month Term SOFR Rate plus 1.00% or 1.25% per annum, depending on the leverage ratio. The Company pays a non-usage fee under the current loan agreement at a rate per annum equal to between 0.15% and 0.35% of the unused amount of the credit facility, which fee is paid quarterly.

The Company retained $60.0 million in outstanding borrowings under its credit facility at June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and temporary investments of $30,502 and $40,153, respectively.

Leasing Activities

The Company leases certain equipment and facilities under long-term non-cancellable operating and finance lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2027. Certain of the lease agreements contain renewal options. For those leases that have renewal options, the Company included these renewal periods in the lease term if the Company determined it was reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option. Lease payments during such renewal periods were also considered in the calculation of right-of-use assets and lease obligations.

Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets are recognized at the commencement date as the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus payments made prior to lease commencement and any initial direct costs. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating leases. For finance leases, expense is recognized as the expense from straight-line amortization of the right-of-use asset plus the periodic interest expense from the lease obligation. Short-term leases have a lease term of twelve months or less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related right-of-use asset or lease obligation for such contracts.

Right-of-use assets related to finance leases are included as a component of property, plant and equipment, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company migrated its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to a multi-tenant cloud environment in 2021 and is continuing to implement additional modules such as enterprise performance management, human capital management, data analytics and the use of artificial intelligence. Related to the continuing implementation project, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had commitments of approximately $1,378 and $2,565, respectively, in software license fees payable in installments through 2025.

Contingencies

The Company has entered into arrangements with third-party lenders where it has agreed, in the event of default by a distributor within the independent distributor network, to repurchase from the third-party lender Company products repossessed from the independent distributor customer. These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. The maximum amount of collateral that the Company could be required to purchase was approximately $118,042 at June 30, 2023, and $74,122 at December 31, 2022. The increase during 2023 is due to increases in sales and supply chain issues that delay payment until all parts and components are received. The Company’s risk under these arrangements is mitigated by the value of the products that would be repurchased as part of the transaction. The Company considered the fair value at inception of its commitment under these arrangements and concluded that there is no probable loss associated with these potential repurchase obligations and thus no associated liability was recognized at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal course of its business. Litigation is subject to various inherent uncertainties, and it is possible that some of such matters could be resolved unfavorably to the Company, which could result in substantial damages against the Company. The Company establishes accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable and maintains product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of any such matters in excess of available insurance coverage and accruals will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD ERRORS

10.           CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD ERRORS

As previously disclosed in Note 11 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified prior period accounting errors that the Company concluded were not material to the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The financial reporting periods affected by these errors include the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, and the Company’s previously reported unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information for each of the quarterly and fiscal year-to-date periods in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (collectively the “previously reported financial statements”).

Based on management’s evaluation of the accounting errors under the SEC Staff’s Accounting Bulletins Nos. 99 (“SAB 99”) and 108 (“SAB 208”) and interpretations thereof, the Company concluded the errors were not material, on an individual or aggregate basis, to the Company’s previously reported financial statements. The errors originated many years ago, were less than 3.6% of the impacted accounts, and did not materially impact ratios or amounts relied upon by users of the financial statements. However, the Company further concluded the accounting errors could not be corrected as an out-of-period adjustment in the Company’s current period consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, because to do so would cause a material misstatement in those financial statements. Accordingly, the Company proceeded according to the guidance prescribed by SAB 108 which specifies that the errors must be corrected the next time the previously reported financial statements are filed. Therefore, the Company corrected these accounting errors in all of the Company’s previously reported annual and interim consolidated financial statements impacted by the errors, which includes the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Miller Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of certain subsidiaries whose fiscal closing dates differ from December 31st by 31 days (or less) to facilitate timely reporting.
