Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of InnerWorkings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) included herein have been prepared to conform to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited financial statements have been included, and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results for the
three
month periods ended
March 31, 2019
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending
December 31, 2019
. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2018
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on
March 19, 2019
.
Description of the Business
The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on
January 3, 2006
. The Company is a leading global marketing execution firm for some of the world's most marketing intensive companies, including those in the Fortune 1000, across a wide range of industries. As a comprehensive outsourced enterprise solution, the Company leverages proprietary technology, an extensive supplier network and deep domain expertise to streamline the creation, production and distribution of marketing and promotional materials, signage and displays, retail experiences, events and promotions and packaging across every major market worldwide. The items the Company sources are generally procured through the marketing supply chain and are referred to collectively as marketing materials. The Company’s technology and database of information is designed to capitalize on excess manufacturing capacity and other inefficiencies in the traditional marketing and print supply chain to obtain favorable pricing and to deliver high-quality products and services.
During the third quarter of 2018, the Company changed its reportable segments. The Company is now organized and managed by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of resource allocation and assessing performance as
three
operating segments: North America, EMEA and LATAM. The Company reflected the segment change as if it had occurred in all periods presented. See Note 15 for further information about the Company’s reportable segments.
Preparation of Financial Statements and Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements is in conformity with U.S. GAAP which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to product returns, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories and inventory valuation, valuation and impairments of goodwill and long-lived assets, income taxes, accrued bonus, contingencies, stock-based compensation and litigation costs. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities when those values are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company determines the functional currency for its parent company and each of its subsidiaries by reviewing the currencies in which their respective operating activities occur. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into U.S. currency at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average monthly rates of exchange. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses arising from activities in other than the applicable functional currency are calculated using average exchange rates for the applicable period and reported in net income as a non-operating item in each period. Non-monetary balance sheet items denominated in a currency other than the applicable functional currency are translated using the historical rate.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
Argentinian Highly Inflationary Accounting
In the second quarter of
2018
, the Argentinian economy was classified as highly inflationary under GAAP due to multiple years of increasing inflation, the devaluation of the Argentine peso ("ARS") and increasing borrowing rates. Effective
July 1, 2018
, the Company's Argentinian subsidiary is being accounted for under highly inflationary accounting rules, which principally means all transactions are recorded in U.S. dollars. The Company uses the official ARS exchange rate to translate the results of its Argentinian operations into U.S. dollars. As of
March 31, 2019
, the Company had a balance of net monetary assets denominated in ARS of approximately
43.7 million
ARS, and the exchange rate was approximately
43.3
ARS per U.S. dollar.
During the three month period ended
March 31, 2019
, the Company recorded
$0.04 million
of unfavorable currency impacts recorded within Other income (expense). For the
three months ended March 31, 2019
, the Company had revenue and gross margin of
$0.6 million
and
$0.1 million
, respectively, at its Argentinian operations.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer which may be at a point in time or over time. Unbilled revenue represents shipments or deliveries that have been made to customers for which the related account receivable has not yet been invoiced.
Shipping and handling costs after control over a product has transferred to a customer are expensed as incurred and are included in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, the Company generally reports revenue on a gross basis because the Company typically controls the goods or services before transferring to the customer. Under these arrangements, the Company is primarily responsible for the fulfillment, including the acceptability, of the marketing materials and other products or services. In addition, the Company has reasonable discretion in establishing the price, and in some transactions, the Company also has inventory risk and is involved in the determination of the nature or characteristics of the marketing materials and products. In some arrangements, the Company is not primarily responsible for fulfilling the goods or services. In arrangements of this nature, the Company does not control the goods or services before they are transferred to the customer and such revenue is reported on a net basis.
Some service revenue, including stand-alone creative and other services, may be earned over time; however, the difference from recognizing that revenue over time compared to a point in time (i.e., when the service is completed and accepted by the customer) is not material. Service revenue has not been material to our overall revenue to date.
The Company records taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February
2016
, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases
(Topic 842). This pronouncement requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations, which represents the discounted obligation to make future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, along with related clarifications and improvements, as of
January 1, 2019
, using the modified retrospective approach, which allows the Company to apply Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840,
Leases
, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. The cumulative effect of adoption was recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.
The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients, which permitted the Company to not reassess: (i) whether a contract is or contains a lease, (ii) lease classification, and (iii) initial direct costs resulting from the lease. The Company has not elected the hindsight practical expedient, which permits the use of hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of operating lease assets. The Company elected to apply the short-term lease exception, which allows the Company to keep leases with terms of 12 months or less off the balance sheet. The Company also elected to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component for the Company's entire population of lease assets.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of net lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately
$39.4 million
and
$41.5 million
, respectively, as of
January 1, 2019
. The
$2.1 million
difference in the lease liabilities and net lease assets represents the net ASC 840 lease liabilities at the effective date that were netted against the initial right-of-use-asset, which included: straight-line rent, prepaid rent, and lease incentives. The
$0.2 million
transition adjustment to retained earnings was comprised of
$1.0 million
of build-to-suit financing lease assets that were derecognized and recorded as operating leases in transition and
$0.5 million
of initial impairment to right-of-use-assets, which were partially offset by the related deferred tax effect of
$0.3 million
.
Adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not materially impact the Company's consolidated net earnings nor cash flows, and did not have a notable impact on the Company's liquidity or debt-covenant compliance under the Company's current agreements.
In the first quarter of 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02,
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
, which amends ASC 220,
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income
. This ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated OCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from tax reform. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein, and early adoption is permitted.An election was not made to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
, which requires entities to measure the impairment of certain financial instruments, including trade receivables, based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the potential effects of the ASU on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13,
Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement
, which amends ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurement
. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted for the removed disclosures and delayed adoption until fiscal year 2021 permitted for the new disclosures. The removed and modified disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company is evaluating the potential effects of the ASU on the consolidated financial statements.
2. Revenue Recognition
Nature of Goods and Services
The Company primarily generates revenue from the procurement of marketing materials for customers. Service revenue, including creative, design, installation, warehousing and other services, has not been material to the Company’s overall revenue to date.
Products and services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct - that is, if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer.
The Company includes any fixed charges per its contracts as part of the total transaction price. The transaction price is allocated between separate products and services in a bundle based on their standalone selling prices. The standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the products and services.
Contracts may include variable consideration (for example, customer incentives like rebates), and to the extent that variable consideration is not constrained, the Company includes the expected amount within the total transaction price and updates its assumptions over the duration of the contract. The constraint will generally not result in a reduction in the estimated transaction price.
InnerWorkings, Inc. and subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
The Company’s performance obligations related to the procurement of marketing materials are typically satisfied upon shipment or delivery of its products to customers. Payment is typically due from the customer at this time or shortly thereafter. Unbilled revenue represents shipments or deliveries that have been made to customers for which the related account receivable has not yet been invoiced. The Company does not have material future performance obligations that extend beyond one year.
Some service revenue may be recognized over time but the difference from recognizing that revenue over time versus at a point in time when the service is completed and accepted by the customer has not been material to the Company’s overall revenue to date.
Contract Balances
Contract liabilities were
$20.9 million
and
$17.6 million
as of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively, and are referred to as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated financial statements. We record deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance. The increase in the deferred revenue balance for the
three months ended March 31, 2019
is primarily driven by cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations as well as the recognition of a contract liability for projects where we have a right to payment (approximately
$11.7 million
), offset by
$8.4 million
of revenue recognized from the deferred revenue balance from
December 31, 2018
. There were no contract assets as of
March 31, 2019
or
December 31, 2018
.
Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
ASC 606 requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of
March 31, 2019
. The Company does not have material future performance obligations that extend beyond one year. Accordingly, the Company has applied the optional exemption for contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. The nature of the remaining performance obligations as well as the nature of the variability and how it will be resolved is described above.
Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract
The Company incurs certain incremental costs to obtain a contract that the Company expects to recover. The Company applies a practical expedient and recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. No incremental costs to obtain a contract incurred by the Company during the quarters ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
were required to be capitalized. These costs would primarily relate to commissions paid to our account executives and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Costs to Fulfill a Customer Contract
The Company capitalizes certain setup costs related to new customers as fulfillment costs. The closing balance at
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
was
$1.2 million
and
$1.2 million
, respectively. Capitalized contract costs are amortized over the expected period of benefit using the straight-line method which is generally three years. In the
three months ended March 31, 2019
and
2018
, the amount of amortization was
$0.1 million
and
$0.1 million
, respectively, and there was no impairment loss in relation to the costs capitalized in either period presented.
3. Leases
The Company leases office space, warehouses, automobiles, and equipment. These leases are recorded as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms greater than 12 months. The Company’s leases generally have terms of 1-10 years, with certain leases including renewal options to extend the leases for additional periods at the Company’s discretion. Generally, the lease term is the minimum of the noncancelable period of the lease, as the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise renewal options.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. Tenant allowances used to fund leasehold improvements are recognized when earned and reduce the right-of-use asset related to the lease. These are amortized through the right-of-use asset as reductions of expense over the lease term.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, the Company estimates incremental secured borrowing rates corresponding to the maturities of the leases. The Company estimates this rate based on prevailing financial market conditions as rates are not implicitly stated in most leases. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Leased assets are presented net of accumulated amortization. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease, such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not included in the ROU assets or liabilities; instead, these are expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense.
Adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the recording net lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately
$39.4 million
and
$41.5 million
, respectively. The current portion of the lease liabilities are recorded within other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The
$2.1 million
difference in the lease liabilities and net lease assets represents the net ASC 840 lease liabilities at the effective date that were netted against the initial right-of-use-asset, which included: straight-line rent, prepaid rent, and lease incentives. The
$0.2 million
transition adjustment to retained earnings was comprised of
$1.0 million
of build-to-suit financing lease assets that were derecognized and recorded as operating leases in transition and
$0.5 million
of initial impairment to right-of-use-assets, which were partially offset by the related deferred tax effect of
$0.3 million
.

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with ASC 350,
Intangibles – Goodwill and Other
, goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Absent any interim indicators of impairment, the Company tests for goodwill impairment as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter of each year.
The fair value estimates used in the goodwill impairment analysis require significant judgment. The fair value estimates were based on assumptions management believes to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain, including estimates of future revenue and operating margins and assumptions about the overall economic climate and the competitive environment for the business.
The Company most recently impaired a portion of its goodwill in the North America reportable segment as of
December 31, 2018
, as outlined below. The Company further considered indicators for impairment at
March 31, 2019
given the significant level of goodwill remaining in the reportable segment as well as the recent impairment test. The fair value determination of the reporting unit primarily relies on management judgments around timing of generating revenues from recent new customer wins as well as timing of benefits expected to be received from the significant restructuring actions currently underway (see Note 6). If assumptions surrounding either of these factors change, then a future impairment charge may occur.
2018 Goodwill Impairment Charges
During the quarter ended
September 30, 2018
, the Company changed its segments and re-evaluated its reporting units. This change required an interim impairment assessment of goodwill. The Company determined an enterprise value for its North America, EMEA and LATAM reporting units that considered both discounted cash flow and guideline public company methods. The Company further compared the enterprise value of each reporting unit to their respective carrying value. The enterprise value for North America exceeded its carrying value, which indicated that there was no impairment, whereas enterprise values for the EMEA and LATAM reporting units were less than their respective carrying values and resulted in
$20.8 million
and
$7.1 million
goodwill impairment charges, respectively.
As of
December 31, 2018
, the Company performed an interim impairment assessment due to a triggering event caused by a sustained decrease in the Company's stock price. The Company determined an enterprise value for its North America reporting unit that considered both the discounted cash flow and guideline public company methods. The Company further compared the enterprise value of the reporting unit to its respective carrying value. The enterprise value for the North America reporting unit was less than its carrying value and resulted in a
$18.4 million
non-cash goodwill impairment charge. No tax
InnerWorkings, Inc. and subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

benefit was recognized on such charge, and this charge had no impact on the Company's cash flows or compliance with debt covenants.
Prior to this 2018 activity, the Company previously recorded gross and accumulated impairment losses of
$75.4 million
resulting from prior period goodwill impairment tests.

In accordance with ASC 350,
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other
, the Company amortizes its intangible assets with finite lives over their respective estimated useful lives and reviews for impairment whenever impairment indicators exist. Impairment indicators could include significant under-performance relative to the historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of assets, significant negative industry or economic trends or significant changes in the Company’s market capitalization relative to net book value. Any changes in key assumptions used by the Company, including those set forth above, could result in an impairment charge and such a charge could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income. The Company’s intangible assets consist of customer lists, non-competition agreements, trade names, and patents. The Company’s customer lists, which have an estimated weighted-average useful life of approximately fourteen years, are being amortized using the economic life method. The Company’s non-competition agreements, trade names, and patents are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated weighted-average useful lives of approximately four years, thirteen years, and nine years, respectively.
Amortization expense related to these intangible assets was
$0.5 million
and
$1.2 million
for the
three months ended March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively. The Company's customer lists had accumulated amortization and impairment of
$64.9 million
and
$64.5 million
as of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. The Company's trade names had accumulated amortization and impairment of
$2.0 million
and
$2.0 million
as of
March 31, 2019
and

2018 Intangible and Long-Lived Asset Impairment
InnerWorkings, Inc. and subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
In the third quarter of
2018
, the Company changed its reporting units as part of a segment change, which required an interim impairment assessment. The Company's intangible and long-lived assets associated with the reporting units assessed were also reviewed for impairment. It was determined that the fair value of intangible assets in EMEA and LATAM was less than the recorded book value of certain customer lists. Additionally, it was determined that the fair value of capitalized costs related to a legacy ERP system in EMEA was less than the recorded book value of such assets. As a result, the Company recognized a
$13.8 million
non-cash, intangible asset impairment charge related to certain customer lists, which is included in the accumulated amortization balance above. Of the total charge,
$0.6 million
related to the LATAM reportable segment, and
$13.2 million
related to the EMEA reportable segment. During the third quarter of
2018
, the Company also recognized a
$3.0 million
non-cash, long-lived asset impairment charge related to a legacy ERP system in the EMEA reportable segment.
6. Restructuring Activities
2018 Restructuring Plan
On
August 10, 2018
, the Company approved a plan to reduce the Company's cost structure while driving value for its clients and stockholders. The plan was adopted as a result of the Company's determination that its selling, general and administrative costs were disproportionately high in relation to its revenue and gross profit. In connection with these actions, the Company expects to incur pre-tax cash restructuring charges of
$20.0 million
to
$25.0 million
and pre-tax non-cash restructuring charges of
$0.4 million
. Cash charges are expected to include
$12.0 million
to
$15.0 million
for employee severance and related benefits and
$8.0 million
and
$10.0 million
for lease and contract terminations and other associated costs. Where required by law, the Company will consult with each of the affected countries’ local Works Councils prior to implementing the plan. The plan was expected to be completed by the end of
2019
. On February 21, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a two-year extension to the restructuring plan through the end of 2021.
For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, the Company recognized
$3.9 million
in restructuring charges.

2015 Restructuring Plan
On
December 14, 2015
, the Company approved a global realignment plan that allowed the Company to more efficiently meet client needs across its international platform. Through improved integration of global resources, the plan created back office and other efficiencies and allowed for the elimination of approximately
100
positions. In connection with these actions, the Company incurred pre-tax cash restructuring charges of
$6.7 million
, the majority of which were recognized during
2017
. These cash charges included approximately
$5.6 million
for employee severance and related benefits and
$1.1 million
for lease and
InnerWorkings, Inc. and subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
contract terminations and other associated costs. The charges were all incurred by the end of
2017
with the final payouts of the charges expected to occur in
2019
. As required by law, the Company consulted with each of the affected countries’ local Works Councils throughout the plan.
The following table summarizes the accrued restructuring activities for this plan for the
three months ended March 31, 2019
(in thousands), all of which relate to EMEA:

7. Income Taxes
On
December 22, 2017
, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform Act”) was enacted into law. The Tax Reform Act significantly revises the U.S. corporate income tax laws by, amongst other things, reducing the corporate income tax rate from
35.0%
to
21.0%
. In addition to the tax rate reduction, the legislation establishes new provisions that affect our
2019
results, including but not limited to, the creation of a new minimum tax called the base erosion anti-abuse tax ("BEAT"); a new provision that taxes U.S. allocated expenses (e.g., interest and general administrative expenses) and currently taxes certain income greater than 10% return on assets from foreign operations called Global Intangible Low-Tax Income (“GILTI”); a new limitation on deductible interest expense; and limitations on the deductibility of certain employee compensation and benefits.
The Company's tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. The Company’s reported effective income tax rate was
45.9%
and
(51.6)%
for the
three months ended March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate each year due to certain operations that are subject to tax incentives, state and local taxes, valuation allowances, impacts of the Tax Reform Act, and foreign tax rates that are different than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate. In addition, the effective tax rate can be impacted each period by discrete factors and events such as a write-off of a deferred tax asset for stock‑based compensation due to the expiration of unexercised stock options.
Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will expire unutilized. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets. There were no material valuation adjustments for the
three months ended March 31, 2019
and
2018
. Additionally, the Company continues to incur losses in jurisdictions which have valuation allowances against tax loss carryforwards, so a tax benefit has not been recognized in the financial statements for these losses.
8. Loss Per Share
Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution. Dilutive common shares outstanding is computed using the Treasury Stock Method and reflects the additional shares that would be outstanding if dilutive stock options were exercised and restricted stock and restricted stock units were settled for common shares during the period. In addition, dilutive shares include any shares issuable related to PSUs for which the performance conditions have been met as of the end of the period.
There were no dilutive effects during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
and
2018
as a result of a net loss incurred in each period. The number of antidilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share amounts was not material.The computations of basic and diluted loss per share for the
three months ended March 31, 2019
and
2018
are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

11. Fair Value Measurement
ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurement
, includes a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on observable or unobservable inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants
InnerWorkings, Inc. and subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions.
The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
|
|
•
|
Level 1:
Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 2:
Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs, which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 3:
Inputs that are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.
|
The book value of the debt under the Credit Agreement, dated as of
August 2, 2010
, subsequently amended most recently as of
March 15, 2019
and further discussed in Note 13, is considered to approximate its fair value as of
March 31, 2019
as the interest rates are considered in line with current market rates.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
In October 2013, the Company removed the former owner of Productions Graphics from his role as President of Productions Graphics, the Company’s French subsidiary. He had been in that role since the Company’s 2011 acquisition of Productions Graphics, a European business then principally owned by him. In December 2013, the former owner of Productions Graphics initiated a wrongful termination claim in the Commercial Court of Paris seeking approximately
€0.7 million
(approximately
$1.0 million
) in fees and damages. In anticipation of this claim, in November 2013, he also obtained a judicial asset attachment order in the amount of
€0.7 million
(approximately
$1.0 million
) as payment security; the attachment order was confirmed in January 2014, and the Company filed an appeal of the order. In March 2015, the appellate court ruled in the Company’s favor in the attachment proceedings, releasing all attachments. The Company disputes the allegations of the former owner of Productions Graphics and intends to vigorously defend these matters. In February 2014, based on a review the Company initiated into certain transactions associated with the former owner of Productions Graphics, the Company concluded that he had engaged in fraud by inflating the results of the Productions Graphics business in order to induce the Company to pay him
€7.1 million
in contingent consideration pursuant to the acquisition agreement. In light of those findings, in February 2014, the Company filed a criminal complaint in France seeking to redress the harm caused by his conduct and this proceeding is currently pending. In addition, in September 2015, the Company initiated a civil claim in the Paris Commercial Court against the former owner of Productions Graphics, seeking civil damages to redress these same harms. In addition to these pending matters, there may be other potential disputes between the Company and the former owner of Productions Graphics relating to the acquisition agreement. The Company had paid
€5.8 million
(approximately
$8.0 million
) in fixed consideration and
€7.1 million
(approximately
$9.4 million
) in contingent consideration to the former owner of Productions Graphics; the remaining maximum contingent consideration under the acquisition agreemen
t
was
€37.6 million
(approximately
$37.6 million
at the time) and the Company has determined that none of this amount was earned and payable.
In January 2014, a former finance employee of Productions Graphics initiated wrongful termination and overtime claims in the Labor Court of Boulogne-Billancourt, and he currently seeks damages of approximately
€0.6 million
(approximately
$0.7 million
). The Company disputes these allegations and intends to vigorously defend these matters. In addition, the Company’s criminal complaint in France, described above, seeks to redress harm caused by this former employee in light of his participation in the fraudulent transactions described above. The labor claim has been stayed in deference to the Company’s related criminal complaint.
In May 2018, shortly following the Company’s announcement of its intention to restate certain historical financial statements, a putative securities class action complaint was filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors. The action, Errol Brown, et al., v. InnerWorkings, Inc., et al., was brought in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges claims pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Allegations in the complaint include that the Company and its current and former officers and directors made untrue statements or omissions of material fact by issuing inaccurate financial statements for the fiscal years ending
December 31, 2015
,
2016
, and
2017
, as well as all interim periods. On
July 27, 2018
, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel for the case. Plaintiff’s counsel filed an amended complaint on
September 25, 2018
. On March 27, 2019, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint, and on April 16, 2019 the plaintiff’s action was dismissed.

13. Revolving Credit Facilities and Going Concern
The Company entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of
August 2, 2010
, subsequently amended most recently as of
March 15, 2019
, among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement includes a revolving commitment amount of
$175 million
and
$160 million
in the aggregate through
September 25, 2019
and
September 25, 2020
, respectively. The Credit Agreement also provides the Company the right to increase the aggregate commitment amount by an additional
$50 million
. Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and such domestic subsidiaries’ guaranty obligations are secured by substantially all of their respective assets. The ranges of applicable rates charged for interest on outstanding loans and letters of credit are
50
-
225
basis point spread for loans based on the base rate and
150
-
325
basis point spread for letter of credit fees and loans based on the Eurodollar rate.
The most recent amendment (i) modified the definition of the term “Consolidated EBITDA” as used in the covenant calculations, (ii) increased the maximum leverage ratio to which the Company is subject for the trailing twelve month periods ended
December 31, 2018
and
March 31, 2019
and (iii) decreased the minimum interest coverage ratio to which the Company is subject for the trailing twelve month periods ended
December 31, 2018
and
March 31, 2019
, respectively.
The terms of the Credit Agreement include various covenants, including covenants that require the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The most recent amendment to the Credit Agreement modified the maximum leverage ratio from
3.50
to
1.00
to
4.50
to
1.00
for the trailing twelve months ended
December 31, 2018
, and from
3.00
to
1.00
to
4.75
to
1.00
for the trailing twelve months ended
March 31, 2019
. The maximum leverage ratio is
3.00
to
1.00
for the trailing twelve months ending
June 30, 2019
and each period thereafter. The most recent amendment to the Credit Agreement also modified the minimum interest coverage ratio from
5.00
to
1.00
to
4.00
to
1.00
for the trailing twelve months ended
December 31, 2018
, and from
5.00
to
1.00
to
3.50
to
1.00
for the trailing twelve months ending
March 31, 2019
. The minimum interest coverage ratio is
5.00
to
1.00
for the trailing twelve months ending
June 30, 2019
and each period thereafter. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of
March 31, 2019
.
The revised covenants only affected the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019. The Company concluded that without any additional changes, it would likely exceed the maximum leverage ratio covenant and/or not meet the minimum interest coverage ratio beyond the revised period, in which case the lenders would have the ability to demand repayment of the outstanding debt at such time. Accordingly, the outstanding balance is presented as a current liability as of
March 31, 2019
based on the guidance in ASC 470,
Debt
.
Additionally, under ASC 205,
Presentation of Financial Statements
, the Company is required to consider and has evaluated whether there is substantial doubt that it has the ability to meet its obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date. This assessment also includes the Company’s consideration of any management plans to alleviate such doubts. As described above, the probable inability of the Company to meet its current covenant obligations beyond the covenant waiver periods casts substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to meet its obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date.
The Company is in the process of negotiating changes to its debt structure with its existing lenders, which, based on discussions with lenders to-date and review of proposed negotiated conditions and financial covenants, the Company believes will be successfully completed in
Q2 2019
.
At
March 31, 2019
, the Company had
$11.2 million
of unused availability under the Credit Agreement and
$1.5 million
of letters of credit which have not been drawn upon. The amount outstanding under the Company's' revolving credit facility was
$138.9 million
and
$142.7 million
as of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. The Company had unamortized deferred financing fees associated with the Credit Facility of
$1.1 million
and
$0.7 million
as of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively.
On
February 22, 2016
, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Facility (the “Facility”) with Bank of America N.A. to support ongoing working capital needs of the Company's operations in China. The Facility includes a revolving commitment amount of
$5.0 million
whereby maturity dates vary based on each individual drawdown. Outstanding borrowings under the Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s assets. Borrowings and repayments are made in renminbi, the official Chinese currency. The applicable interest rate is
110%
of the People’s Bank of China’s base rate. The terms of the Facility include limitations on
InnerWorkings, Inc. and subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
use of funds for working capital purposes as well as customary representations and warranties made by the Company. At
March 31, 2019
, the Company had
$4.5 million
of unused availability under the Facility.
14.
Share Repurchase Program
On
February 12, 2015
, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of
$20 million
of its common stock through open market and privately negotiated transactions over a
two
-year period. On
November 2, 2016
, the Board of Directors approved a two-year extension to the share repurchase program through
February 28, 2019
. On
May 4, 2017
, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in its authorized share repurchase program of up to an additional
$30.0 million
of the Company's common stock through open market and privately negotiated transactions over a two-year period ending
May 31, 2019
. The timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined based on market conditions, share price and other factors, and the program may be discontinued or suspended at any time. Repurchases will be made in compliance with SEC rules and other legal requirements. As of
March 31, 2019
,
$10.6 million
remained available for repurchase under this plan through
May 31, 2019
.
During the
three months ended March 31, 2019
, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under this program. During the
three months ended March 31, 2018
, the Company repurchased
0.9 million
shares of its common stock for
$8.7 million
in the aggregate at an average cost of
$9.31
per share. Of this amount,
$7.9 million
was paid for as of
March 31, 2018
, with the remaining, paid in April 2018, accrued within other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
March 31, 2018
. Shares repurchased under this program are recorded at acquisition cost, including related expenses.
15. Business Segments
Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), manages the segments, evaluates financial results, and makes key operating decisions. During the third quarter of
2018
, the Company changed its reportable segments. The Company is now organized and managed by the CODM as
three
operating segments: North America, EMEA and LATAM. The North America segment includes operations in the United States and Canada; the EMEA segment includes operations in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia; and the LATAM segment includes operations in Mexico, Central America, and South America. Other consists of intersegment eliminations, shared service activities, and unallocated corporate expenses. All transactions between segments are presented at their gross amounts and eliminated through Other. We have reflected the segment change as if it had occurred in all periods presented.
Management evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The accounting policies of each of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1. Adjusted EBITDA represents income from operations excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, goodwill, intangible and long-lived asset impairment charges, restructuring charges, senior leadership transition and other employee-related expenses, business development realignment, obsolete retail inventory writeoff, professional fees related to ASC 606 implementation, executive search expenses, restatement of prior period financial statements, and other expenses related to investment in operational and financial process improvements. Management does not evaluate the performance of its operating segments using asset measures.
The table below presents financial information for the Company’s reportable segments and Other for the
three
month periods noted (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA, which represents income from operations with the addition of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, professional fees related to ASC 606 implementation, executive search costs and restatement-related professional fees is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC regulations. Income from operations is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company presents this measure as supplemental information to help investors better understand trends in its business results over time. The Company’s management team uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of the business. Adjusted EBITDA is not equivalent to any measure of performance required to be reported under GAAP, nor should this data be considered an indicator of the Company’s overall financial performance and liquidity. Moreover, the Adjusted EBITDA definition the Company uses may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Overview
We are a leading global marketing execution firm for some of the world's most marketing intensive companies, including those listed in the Fortune 1000. As a comprehensive outsourced global solution, we leverage proprietary technology, an extensive supplier network and deep domain expertise to streamline the creation, production and distribution of marketing and promotional materials, signage and displays, retail experiences, events and promotions and product packaging across every major market worldwide. The items we source generally are procured through the marketing supply chain and we refer to these items collectively as marketing materials. Through our network of more than 10,000 global suppliers, we offer a full range of fulfillment and logistics services that allow us to procure marketing materials of virtually any kind. The breadth of our product offerings and services and the depth of our supplier network enable us to fulfill the marketing materials procurement needs of our clients.
Our proprietary software applications and databases create a fully-integrated solution that stores, analyzes and tracks the production capabilities of our supplier network, as well as detailed pricing data. As a result, we believe we have one of the largest independent repositories of supplier capabilities and pricing data for suppliers of marketing materials around the world. We leverage our supplier capabilities and pricing data to match our orders with suppliers that are optimally suited to meet the client’s needs at a highly competitive price. Our technology and databases of product and supplier information are designed to capitalize on excess manufacturing capacity and other inefficiencies in the traditional marketing materials supply chain to obtain favorable pricing while delivering high-quality products and services for our clients.
We use our supplier capability and pricing data to match orders with suppliers that are optimally suited to meet the client's needs at a highly competitive price. By leveraging our technology and data, our clients are able to reduce overhead costs, redeploy internal resources and obtain favorable pricing and service terms. In addition, our ability to track individual transactions and provide customized reports detailing procurement activity on an enterprise-wide basis provides our clients with greater visibility and control of their marketing materials expenditures.
We generate revenue by procuring and purchasing marketing materials from our suppliers and selling those products to our clients. We procure products for clients across a wide range of industries, such as retail, financial services, hospitality, consumer packaged goods, non-profits, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, broadcasting and cable and transportation.
As of
March 31, 2019
, we had approximately 2,100 employees and independent contractors in more than 27 countries. We organize our operations into three operating segments based on geographic regions: North America, EMEA and LATAM. The North America segment includes operations in the United States and Canada; the EMEA segment includes operations in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, and the LATAM segment includes operations in Mexico, Central America, and South America. In
2018
, we generated global revenue from third parties of
$777.4 million
in the North America segment,
$261.0 million
in the EMEA segment, and
$83.2 million
in the LATAM segment.
We believe the opportunity exists to expand our business into new geographic markets. Our objective is to continue to increase our sales in the United States and internationally by adding new clients and increasing our sales to existing clients through additional marketing execution services or geographic markets.
Revenue
We generate revenue through the procurement of marketing materials for our clients. Our revenue consists of the prices paid to us by our clients for marketing materials. These prices, in turn, reflect the amounts charged to us by our suppliers plus our gross profit. Our gross profit margin may be fixed by contract or may depend on prices negotiated on a job-by-job basis. Once the client accepts our pricing terms, the selling price is established, and we procure the product for our own account in order to re-sell it to the client. We generally take full title and risk of loss for the product upon shipment. The finished product is typically shipped directly from our supplier to a destination specified by our client. Upon shipment, our supplier invoices us for the products and we invoice our client.
We agree to provide our clients with marketing materials that conform to the industry standard of a “commercially reasonable quality,” and our suppliers in turn agree to provide us with products of the same quality. In addition, the quotes we execute with our clients include customary industry terms and conditions that limit the amount of our liability for product defects. Product defects have not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations to date.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of the price at which we purchase products from our suppliers. Our selling price, including our gross profit may be established by contract based on a fixed gross profit as a percentage of revenue, which we refer to as gross margin, or may be determined at the discretion of the account executive or production manager within predetermined parameters.
Operating Expenses and (Loss) Income from Operations
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of commissions paid to our account executives, compensation costs for our management team and production managers as well as compensation costs for our finance and support employees, public company expenses and corporate systems, legal and accounting, facilities and travel and entertainment expenses.
We accrue for commissions when we recognize the related revenue. Some of our account executives receive a monthly draw to provide them with a more consistent income stream. The cash paid to our account executives in advance of commissions earned is reflected as a prepaid expense on our balance sheet. As our account executives earn commissions, a portion of their commission payment is withheld and offset against their prepaid commission balance, if any.

North America
North America revenue
decreased
by
$1.0 million
, or
0.5%
, from
$189.3 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2018
to
$188.3 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
. This
decrease
in revenue relates primarily to certain of the Company’s middle market customers, partially offset by growth from new and existing enterprise clients.
EMEA
EMEA revenue
decreased
by
$4.0 million
, or
6.2%
, from
$64.2 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2018
to
$60.2 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
. This
decrease
in revenue is driven primarily by foreign currency impacts.
LATAM
LATAM revenue
decreased
by
$2.3 million
, or
11.1%
, from
$21.1 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2018
to
$18.8 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
. This
decrease
in revenue is driven primarily by foreign currency impacts.
Cost of goods sold
Our cost of goods sold
decreased
by
$2.4 million
, or
1.2%
, from
$208.5 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2018
to
$206.0 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
. Our cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue was
77.1%
and
75.9%
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively.
Gross profit margin
Our gross profit margin was
22.9%
and
24.1%
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively. This
decrease
was primarily driven by client mix of revenue as well as writeoffs related to two client accounts we are exiting in North America.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses
decreased
by
$5.4 million
, or
8.8%
, from
$61.2 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2018
to
$55.8 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
. This
decrease
was primarily driven by a decrease in certain employee compensation and incentive expenses. As a percentage of gross profit, selling, general, and administrative expenses also decreased to
91.2%
for the
three months ended March 31, 2019
compared to
92.6%
for the
three months ended March 31, 2018
.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense
decreased
by
$1.0 million
, or
28.5%
, from
$3.7 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2018
to
$2.6 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily driven by lower capital expenditures as well as fewer intangible assets due to the impairment charges in 2018.
Restructuring charges
On
August 10, 2018
, the Company approved a plan to reduce the Company's cost structure while driving value for its clients and stockholders. The plan was adopted as a result of the Company's determination that its selling, general and administrative costs were disproportionately high in relation to its revenue and gross profit. In connection with these actions, the Company expects to incur pre-tax cash restructuring charges of
$20.0 million
to
$25.0 million
and pre-tax non-cash restructuring charges of
$0.4 million
. Cash charges are expected to include
$12.0 million
to
$15.0 million
for employee severance and related benefits and
$8.0 million
and
$10.0 million
for lease and contract terminations and other associated costs. Where required by law, the Company will consult with each of the affected countries’ local Works Councils prior to implementing the plan. The plan was expected to be completed by the end of
2019
. On February 21, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a two-year extension to the restructuring plan through the end of 2021. For the three months ended
March 31, 2019
, we recognized
$3.9 million
in restructuring charges.
(Loss) income from operations
(Loss) income from operations
decreased
by
$2.4 million
from income from operations of
$1.2 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2018
to a loss from operations of
$1.2 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
. As a percentage of revenue, (loss) income from operations was
(0.4)%
and
0.5%
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively. As a percentage of gross profit, (loss) income from operations was
(1.9)%
and
1.9%
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively. This
decrease
is primarily attributable to restructuring charges and decreased gross profit partially offset by the decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses discussed above.
Other expense
Other expense
increased
by
$1.0 million
from
$2.4 million
for the
three months ended March 31, 2018
to
$3.4 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
. This increase in expense was primarily driven by an increase in interest expense.
Income tax (benefit) expense
Income tax (benefit) expense
decreased
by
$2.7 million
from an expense of
$0.6 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2018
to a benefit of
$2.1 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
. Our effective tax rate was
45.9%
and
(51.6)%
for the
three months ended March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively. Our effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate each year due to certain operations that are subject to tax incentives, state and local taxes, valuation allowances, impacts of the Tax Reform Act, and foreign tax rates that are different than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate. In addition, the effective tax rate can be impacted each period by discrete factors and events such as a write-off of a deferred tax asset for stock‑based compensation due to the expiration of unexercised stock options.
Net loss
Net loss increased by
$0.8 million
, or
46.2%
, from net loss of
$1.7 million
during the
three months ended March 31, 2018
to a
$2.5 million
net loss during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
. Net loss as a percentage of revenue was
(0.9)%
and
(0.6)%
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively. Net loss as a percentage of gross profit was
(4.0)%
and
(2.5)%
during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively. This increase is primarily attributable to the decrease in income from operations and the increase in other expense, both of which are discussed above.

Share Repurchase Program
On February 12, 2015, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of
$20 million
of its common stock through open market and privately negotiated transactions over a
two
-year period. On November 2, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a two-year extension to the share repurchase program through February 28, 2019. On May 4, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in its authorized share repurchase program of up to an additional
$30.0 million
of the Company's common stock through open market and privately negotiated transactions over a two-year period ending May 31, 2019. The timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined based on market conditions, share price and other factors, and the program may be discontinued or suspended at any time. Repurchases will be made in compliance with SEC rules and other legal requirements. As of
March 31, 2019
,
$10.6 million
remained available for repurchase under this plan through
May 31, 2019
.
During the
three months ended March 31, 2019
, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under this program. During the
three months ended March 31, 2018
, the Company repurchased
0.9 million
shares of its common stock for
$8.7 million
in the aggregate at an average cost of
$9.31
per share. Of this amount,
$7.9 million
was paid for as of
March 31, 2018
, with the remaining, paid in April 2018, accrued within other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
March 31, 2018
. Shares repurchased under this program are recorded at acquisition cost, including related expenses.
Revolving Credit Facilities
The Company entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2010, subsequently amended most recently as of March 15, 2019, among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement includes a revolving commitment amount of $175 million and $160 million in the aggregate through September 25, 2019 and September 25, 2020, respectively. The Credit Agreement also provides the Company the right to increase the aggregate commitment amount by an additional $50 million. Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and such domestic subsidiaries’ guaranty obligations are secured by
substantially all of their respective assets. The ranges of applicable rates charged for interest on outstanding loans and letters of credit are 50-225 basis point spread for loans based on the base rate and 150-325 basis point spread for letter of credit fees and loans based on the Eurodollar rate.
The most recent amendment (i) modified the definition of the term “Consolidated EBITDA” as used in the covenant calculations, (ii) increased the maximum leverage ratio to which the Company is subject for the trailing twelve month periods ended
December 31, 2018
and
March 31, 2019
and (iii) decreased the minimum interest coverage ratio to which the Company is subject for the trailing twelve month periods ended
December 31, 2018
and
March 31, 2019
, respectively.
The terms of the Credit Agreement include various covenants, including covenants that require the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The most recent amendment to the Credit Agreement modified the maximum leverage ratio from
3.50
to
1.00
to
4.50
to
1.00
for the trailing twelve months ended
December 31, 2018
, and from
3.00
to
1.00
to
4.75
to
1.00
for the trailing twelve months ended
March 31, 2019
. The maximum leverage ratio is
3.00
to
1.00
for the trailing twelve months ending
June 30, 2019
and each period thereafter. The most recent amendment to the Credit Agreement also modified the minimum interest coverage ratio from
5.00
to
1.00
to
4.00
to
1.00
for the trailing twelve months ended
December 31, 2018
, and from
5.00
to
1.00
to
3.50
to
1.00
for the trailing twelve months ending
March 31, 2019
. The minimum interest coverage ratio is
5.00
to
1.00
for the trailing twelve months ending
June 30, 2019
and each period thereafter. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of
March 31, 2019
.
The revised covenants only affected the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019. The Company concluded that without any additional changes, it would likely exceed the maximum leverage ratio covenant and/or not meet the minimum interest coverage ratio beyond the revised period, in which case the lenders would have the ability to demand repayment of the outstanding debt at such time. Accordingly, the outstanding balance is presented as a current liability as of
March 31, 2019
based on the guidance in ASC 470,
Debt
.
Additionally, under ASC 205,
Presentation of Financial Statements
, the Company is required to consider and has evaluated whether there is substantial doubt that it has the ability to meet its obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date. This assessment also includes the Company’s consideration of any management plans to alleviate such doubts. As described above, the probable inability of the Company to meet its current covenant obligations beyond the covenant waiver periods casts substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to meet its obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date.
The Company is in the process of negotiating changes to its debt structure with its existing lenders, which, based on discussions with lenders to-date and review of proposed negotiated conditions and financial covenants, the Company believes will be successfully completed in Q2 2019.
At
March 31, 2019
, the Company had
$11.2 million
of unused availability under the Credit Agreement and
$1.5 million
of letters of credit which have not been drawn upon. The amount outstanding under the Company's' revolving credit facility was
$138.9 million
and
$142.7 million
as of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. The Company had unamortized deferred financing fees associated with the Credit Facility of
$1.1 million
and
$0.7 million
as of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively.
On
February 22, 2016
, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Facility (the “Facility”) with Bank of America N.A. to support ongoing working capital needs of the Company's operations in China. The Facility includes a revolving commitment amount of
$5.0 million
whereby maturity dates vary based on each individual drawdown. Outstanding borrowings under the Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s assets. Borrowings and repayments are made in renminbi, the official Chinese currency. The applicable interest rate is
110%
of the People’s Bank of China’s base rate. The terms of the Facility include limitations on use of funds for working capital purposes as well as customary representations and warranties made by the Company. At
March 31, 2019
, the Company had
$4.5 million
of unused availability under the Facility.
We earn a significant amount of our operating income outside the United States, which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. We do not currently foresee a need to repatriate funds; however, should we require more capital in the United States than is generated by our operations locally or through debt or equity issuances, we could elect to repatriate funds held in foreign jurisdictions. Included in our cash and cash equivalents are amounts held by foreign subsidiaries. We had
$24.7 million
and
$23.7 million
of foreign cash and cash equivalents as of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively, which are generally denominated in the local currency where the funds are held.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes outside the normal course of business in the contractual obligations disclosed in Item 7 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2018
, under the caption “Contractual Obligations.”
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In February
2016
, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases
(Topic 842). This pronouncement requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations, which represents the discounted obligation to make future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, along with related clarifications and improvements, as of
January 1, 2019
, using the modified retrospective approach, which allows the Company to apply Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840,
Leases
, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. The cumulative effect of adoption was recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.
The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients, which permitted the Company to not reassess: (i) whether a contract is or contains a lease, (ii) lease classification, and (iii) initial direct costs resulting from the lease. The Company has not elected the hindsight practical expedient, which permits the use of hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of operating lease assets. The Company elected to apply the short-term lease exception, which allows the Company to keep leases with terms of 12 months or less off the balance sheet. The Company also elected to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component for the Company's entire population of lease assets.
As of March 31, 2019, except for the new critical accounting policy for Leases described above, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
