NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

 

 

1.        Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Business

 

Primo Water Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Primo,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is North America’s leading single source provider of multi-gallon purified bottled water, self-service refill drinking water and water dispensers sold through major retailers in the United States and Canada.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with our accounting practices described in our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Such adjustments, other than nonrecurring adjustments that have been separately disclosed, are of a normal, recurring nature. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or future interim periods. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 as filed on Form 10-K (the “2018 Form 10-K”). The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, accordingly, do not include all the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) with respect to annual audited financial statements. Significant accounting policies are summarized in our 2018 Form 10-K.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The update is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The updated guidance eliminates step two of the goodwill impairment test and specifies that goodwill impairment should be measured by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Additionally, the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets should be disclosed. The update is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We currently anticipate that adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model which requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. We will adopt ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020 with the cumulative effect of adoption recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. The effect on our consolidated financial statements will largely depend on the composition and credit quality of our trade receivables at the time of adoption.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) along with subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11 (collectively, Topic 842) requiring lessees to recognize for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (2) a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

 

 

We adopted Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019. The effects of adopting Topic 842 were the recognition of $4.2 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and $4.1 million of operating lease liabilities. We applied Topic 842 to all contracts conveying the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment as of January 1, 2019, with comparative periods continuing to be reported under Topic 840 in accordance with the alternative transition method. In the adoption of Topic 842, we elected the package of practical expedients allowing us to carry forward the assessment from Topic 840 of whether our contracts contain or are leases, as well as, the classification and initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. We also elected the practical expedient allowing us to use hindsight when determining the lease term and assessing impairment of right-of-use assets. For short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, we have made an accounting policy election whereby a right-of-use asset and lease liability is not recognized. Lease expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. A portion of our leases contain lease and non-lease components in the form of maintenance and utilities. We have elected to combine non-lease and lease components and treat them as a single lease component, which increases the amount of our lease assets and corresponding liabilities. We implemented a lease management system to assist in centralizing, maintaining and accounting for all leases to ensure compliance with Topic 842 reporting and disclosure requirements. Our accounting for finance leases remains substantially unchanged. The standard did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations or our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. See “Note 3 – Leases” for further details.

 

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU 2017-12 is intended to better align the Company's risk management activities with financial reporting for hedging relationships. The standard eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness, expands the ability to hedge specific risk components, and generally requires the change in value of the hedge instrument and hedged item to be presented in the same income statement line. We adopted ASU 2017-12 in the second quarter of 2019 upon entering into an interest rate swap on our variable rate term loan.  The new disclosure requirements were applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

 

2.        Revenue Recognition

 

Sales of Products

 

We earn revenue from contracts with customers, primarily through the sale of our purified, multi-gallon bottled water, self-service filtered drinking water, or through the sale of water dispensers. All revenue recognized in the current period is derived from contracts with customers. We account for these revenues under Topic 606.

 

In certain arrangements, depending on the nature and scope of the contract, our customer may be identified as the end consumer as we are interacting directly with the consumer via an implied contract upon the dispensing of self-service purified water. In other arrangements, our customer may be identified as the retailer, as we enter into contracts with retailers to resell purified multi-gallon bottled water or self-service filtered drinking water to the end consumer on our behalf. Our arrangements may also include standalone purchase orders from retailers to sell water dispensers. In such arrangements, the retailer is our customer.

 

Our performance obligations vary by business segment. Our performance obligations may include the delivery of purified water, the sale of the related bottle, or the sale of a water dispenser. In some instances, our sales arrangements may include multiple of the aforementioned performance obligations.

 

Our arrangements may include the shipping of products to our customers after the performance obligation related to that product has been satisfied. For such arrangements when shipping and handling activities are performed subsequent to the performance obligation being satisfied, we have elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer goods. In such instances, we recognize shipping and handling costs at the same time as we recognize revenue.

 

We have no contractual obligation to accept returns nor do we guarantee sales. We may accept returns or issue credits for manufacturer defects or for items that were damaged in transit. We recognize revenue net of an estimated allowance for returns based on historical average return rates.

 

 

Typically, the transaction price of our products is fixed as agreed upon in our contracts with customers. Our arrangements may include variable consideration in the form of volume incentive agreements or coupon programs. We provide sales incentives to certain retailers in the form of a volume rebate to promote the sale of our products. Generally, the rebates are tiered, such that as sales increase, the rebate percentage increases. We estimate the expected amount of these rebates based on historical sales volume at the time of the original sale. We update our assessment of the amount of rebates that will be earned either quarterly or annually based on our best estimate of the volume levels the customer will reach during the measurement period. We also may include a redeemable coupon for the purchase of purified, multi-gallon bottled water upon the purchase of one of our products. We account for the coupons based on historical redemption rates. The customer’s right to redeem the coupon for a free purified, multi-gallon bottle of water is exercised at or near the purchase of our products such that it does not create a material timing difference in the recognition of revenue.

 

Our sales arrangements may involve collecting revenue directly from the end consumer. Tax on filtered water dispensed from a vended machine is exempt in several jurisdictions. For those remaining jurisdictions in which taxes are not exempt, we have analyzed our contracts with customers, concluding that we are the primary obligor to the respective taxing authority, and as such present sales tax charged to the end consumer utilizing the gross method.

 

We recognize revenue on the products we sell at a point in time. The delivery of purified water and sale of the related bottle are completed via a point-of-sale transaction at which time the customer obtains control and remits payment for the product. The shipment of a water dispenser to our customer reflects the transfer of control. We may grant credit limits and terms to customers based upon traditional practices and competitive conditions. In such instances, the terms may vary, but payments are generally due in 30 days or less from the invoicing date. Due to the point-of-sale nature of our products, we have not recognized revenue in the current period for performance obligations satisfied in previous reporting periods and have no unsatisfied performance obligations as of the end of the current period.

 

Multiple Performance Obligations

 

Our sales arrangements may include multiple performance obligations. We identify each of the performance obligations in these arrangements and allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on its identified relative selling price. In such arrangements, all of the performance obligations are met simultaneously as our products are concurrently delivered and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Thus, revenue is recognized simultaneously for each performance obligation when the customer obtains control of the product.

 

Presentation of Revenue

 

Our arrangements may involve another party selling products to our customers. We partner with retailers to place our self-service filtered water dispensing machines in their stores. We pay retailers a commission on the amount of sales generated from our products. We evaluate whether we control the products before they are transferred to the customer. In such instances where we control our products prior to transferring them to the customer, we are the principal in the transaction and record revenue at the gross amount and record commission paid to retailers as cost of sales. If we conclude that we do not control the products, we are the agent in the transaction and record revenue net of commissions paid to retailers.

 

Accounts Receivable Net of Allowances

 

Trade accounts receivable represent amounts billed to customers and not yet collected, and are presented net of allowances. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a review of specifically identified accounts in addition to an overall aging analysis and is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. Judgements are made with respect to the collectability of accounts receivable based on historical experience and current economic trends. We also maintain an allowance for sales discounts, rebates and promotions based on our arrangements with customers. Account balances are charged off against the allowance in the period in which we determine that it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. These allowances totaled $1,977 and $1,755 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Bad debt write-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were immaterial.

3.        Leases

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease or service contract at inception. Where an arrangement is a lease we determine if it is an operating lease or a finance lease. Subsequently, if the arrangement is modified we reevaluate our classification. We have entered into finance lease agreements for vehicles with lease periods expiring between 2019 and 2024. We have entered into operating lease agreements primarily for buildings and equipment expiring between 2019 and 2028. Our short-term leases are typically in the form of storage units with month-to-month terms located throughout the United States.

 

At lease commencement, we record a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset. Lease liabilities represent the present value of our future lease payments over the expected lease term which includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised. We generally use the base, non-cancellable lease term to determine lease assets and liabilities. The interest rate implicit in our leases is not readily determinable and as such, the present value of our lease liability is determined using our incremental collateralized borrowing rate under the SunTrust Revolving Facility, which approximates the interest rate on a collateralized basis under similar terms as our underlying leased assets. Operating lease assets also include prepaid lease payments and lease incentives when present.

 

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet beginning January 1, 2019. As of June 30, 2019 the current portion of our operating lease liabilities of $1,524 are presented within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. As of June 30, 2019 the long-term portion of our operating lease liabilities of $2,134 is presented within operating leases.

 

Finance lease right-of-use assets are presented within property and equipment, net. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 vehicles under finance lease with a cost basis of $11,196 and $7,408, respectively, were included in property and equipment, net. As of June 30, 2019 the current portion of our finance lease liabilities of $2,014 are presented within current portion of long-term debt and finance leases. As of June 30, 2019 the long term portion of our finance lease liabilities of $4,867 are presented within long-term debt and finance leases, net of current portion and debt issuance costs.

4.        Ice Assets Held-for-Sale and Promissory Note 

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we concluded that a sale of certain assets of our Refill segment (the “Ice Assets”) was probable to take place within one year, which meets the criteria for assets held-for-sale treatment in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. There have been no changes to the estimated fair value of the Ice Assets since December 31, 2018. The Ice Assets fair value less costs to sell at December 31, 2018 was as follows: 

 

   

December 31,

 
   

2018

 

Property and equipment, net

  $ 4,688  

Identifiable intangible assets

    600  

Assets held-for-sale at fair value

  $ 5,288  
         

Contingent consideration

  $ 1,438  

Liabilities held-for-sale at fair value

  $ 1,438  

Ice Assets, net

  $ 3,850  

 

On June 28, 2019, we sold the Ice Assets to a buyer in exchange for cash consideration of $400 and a promissory note of $3,600.  The note has a five-year term and requires the buyer to make quarterly principal payments of $50 and quarterly interest payments at an annual interest rate of 7%.  At the end of the five-year term of the note, the entire remaining outstanding principal amount is due and payable in full. Under the terms of the note, the buyer, under certain circumstances may make elections that would allow for a reduction in the interest rate and principal amount upon the prepayment of amounts owed under the promissory note. The note was recorded at its fair value of $3,278 which was measured based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows taking into consideration the terms and non-market interest rate of the note.  As of June 30, 2019 the current portion of the note of $150 is presented within prepaid expenses and other assets, and the non-current portion of $3,128 is presented as a promissory note on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

 

The buyer is not a related party and our continuing involvement following the sale will be minimal. The sale of the Ice Assets resulted in a loss of $580 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 presented within loss on disposal of property and equipment and other.

SunTrust Credit Facility

 

On June 22, 2018, we entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “SunTrust Credit Facility”) that provides for a $190,000 senior term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) and a $30,000 senior revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Facility”). SunTrust Bank serves as the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank under the SunTrust Credit Facility. The SunTrust Credit Facility matures on June 22, 2023. The Term Loan requires annual principal payments (payable in quarterly installments) equal to 5% per annum, or $9,500, with the remaining indebtedness due at maturity. The SunTrust Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on substantially all of our assets. The SunTrust Credit Facility and related obligations are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries.

 

Interest on outstanding borrowings under the SunTrust Credit Facility is calculated at our option at either (1) a base rate (which is derived from the Administrative Agent’s prime lending rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, or a London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.0%) or (2) LIBOR plus, in each case of the foregoing (1) and (2), a margin, initially set at 2.50% per annum with respect to LIBOR loans and 1.50% per annum for base rate loans. A commitment fee, initially set at 0.30% per annum, ranging from 0.15% to 0.30% per annum, is payable quarterly on the average undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility. The margins and commitment fee fluctuate based on our consolidated leverage ratio as specified in the SunTrust Credit Facility. Total issuance costs associated with the SunTrust Credit Facility were $1,700, which have been presented either as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt within long-term debt and finance leases, net of current portion and debt issuance costs, with respect to costs attributable to the Term Loan, or within other assets, with respect to costs attributable to the Revolving Facility. The costs are being amortized as part of interest expense over the term of the SunTrust Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2019, we had $13,100 outstanding borrowings and $16,900 of availability under the Revolving Facility.

 

The SunTrust Credit Facility contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants that use consolidated adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; income taxes; change in fair value of warrant liability; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; special items; and loss (gain) on disposal of property and equipment and other assets, and other.

 

The primary operational covenants included in the SunTrust Credit Facility are as follows: (i) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10:1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 and (ii) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 with the financial ratios tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The leverage ratio steps down to 4.25:1.00 with respect to each fiscal quarter ending after June 30, 2019 and on or prior to June 30, 2020 and to 4.00:1.00 with respect to each fiscal quarter ending after June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all operational covenants, including (i) a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.23:1.00 and (ii) a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.92:1.00.

 

 

Goldman Credit Facility

 

On December 12, 2016, to complete the acquisition by merger (the “Acquisition”) of Glacier Water Services, Inc. (“Glacier”), we entered into a senior secured credit facility with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Goldman Credit Facility”) that provided for an $186,000 term loan facility and a $10,000 revolving loan facility.  We repaid all outstanding borrowings and accrued interest under the Goldman Credit Facility with the proceeds from a follow-on equity offering completed in the second quarter of 2018 and the proceeds from the SunTrust Credit Facility.  In connection with the repayment and termination of the Goldman Credit Facility during the second quarter of 2018, we immediately charged to interest expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations the remaining $2,960 in unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Goldman Credit Facility and $3,904 related to early payment penalties.

 

Junior Subordinated Debentures and Investments

 

In connection with the Acquisition, we assumed $89,529 of 9-1/16% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due 2028 (the “Subordinated Debentures”) issued to Glacier Water Trust I (“the Trust”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Primo following the Acquisition. On June 29, 2018, in connection with the closing of the SunTrust Credit Facility, we paid $87,938, including accrued interest of $309, to redeem the Subordinated Debentures. In connection with the redemption of the Subordinated Debentures, we recorded a gain of $475 in interest expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations resulting from the accretion of the remaining fair value adjustment allocated to the Subordinated Debentures as part of the purchase price allocation of the Acquisition.

 

In connection with the redemption of the Subordinated Debentures described above, the Trust issued a revocable notice of redemption of all outstanding capital securities of the Trust, and all outstanding capital securities of the Trust were redeemed on June 29, 2018. We owned a portion of such securities and received $6,277 in proceeds upon their redemption, resulting in a $161 loss on the redemption of the securities which is included in loss (gain) on disposal of property and equipment and other assets on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At June 30, 2018, $2,629 of the proceeds were recorded as a receivable included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. These proceeds were received subsequent to the period end. Subsequent to the redemption of the Subordinated Debentures and the redemption of all outstanding capital securities of the Trust, the Trust and all related agreements were terminated and effectively dissolved.

 

Finance Leases

 

As of June 30, 2019, our finance leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 3.6 years and a weighted average discount rate of 4.76%. Future finance lease obligations as of June 30, 2019 were as follows:

Interest Rate Swap

 

To mitigate the risks associated with future interest rate movements, we have employed an interest rate swap to fix the rate on a portion of our outstanding borrowings under the SunTrust Credit Facility. We executed an interest rate swap agreement in April 2019. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreement was $25 million as of June 30, 2019. The interest rate swap matures April 2023. The change in fair value for the interest rate swap entered into during the current quarter was not material for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Long-Term Performance Plan

 

On February 28, 2017, we established the Long-Term Performance Plan (the “LTPP”). The LTPP provides equity grants for eligible employees based on the attainment of certain performance-based targets. Our intention is that all awards under the LTPP will be in the form of equity grants.

 

On March 20, 2017, we granted performance based equity awards under the LTPP with vesting terms based on our attainment of certain financial targets for the period of January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019 (the “March 2017 Grant”). The number of shares earnable under the March 2017 Grant awards vary based on achievement of the established financial targets of Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow on a cumulative basis for fiscal years 2017 through 2019.

 

On March 9, 2018, we granted performance based equity awards under the LTPP with vesting terms based on our attainment of certain financial targets for the period of January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020 (the “March 2018 Grant”). The number of shares earnable under the March 2018 Grant awards vary based on achievement of the established financial targets of Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow on a cumulative basis for fiscal years 2018 through 2020.

 

On March 8, 2019, we granted performance based equity awards under the LTPP with vesting terms based on our attainment of certain financial targets for the period of January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021 (the “March 2019 Grant”). The number of shares earnable under the March 2019 Grant awards vary based on achievement of the established financial targets of net sales and free cash flow on a cumulative basis for fiscal years 2019 through 2021.

 

 

7.        Special Items

 

We have incurred expenses that either we do not believe to be indicative of our core operations, or we believe are significant to our current operating results warranting separate classification. As such, we have separately classified these expenses as special items. The components of special items are as follows:

8.        Commitments and Contingencies

 

Sales Tax

 

We routinely purchase equipment for use in operations from various vendors.  These purchases are subject to sales tax depending on the equipment type and local sales tax regulations; however, we believe certain vendors have not assessed the appropriate sales tax.  For purchases that are subject to sales tax in which we believe the vendor did not assess the appropriate amount, we accrue an estimate of the sales tax liability we ultimately expect to pay.

 

Other Contingencies

 

From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. Management believes that the outcome of such claims and legal actions will not have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

 

9.         Income Tax (Benefit) Provision

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 there was $0 income tax expense recognized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, available taxes in the carryback periods, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Accordingly, we have provided a full valuation allowance to offset the net deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized as of June 30, 2019.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded an income tax benefit of $4,771 and $6,496, respectively, primarily due to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. We recorded an income tax benefit of $4,769 and $6,843, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 related to the federal net operating loss and interest expense limitation, which was partially offset by income tax expense of $349 related to goodwill and intangible assets.

 

Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that might be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone significant changes in stock ownership. We believe our prior ownership changes have created an annual limit, imposed by Section 382, on the amount of net operating loss we can utilize in a given year.  Realization of the loss carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the loss carryforwards, subject to the Section 382 limitation. 

 

We have no unrecognized tax benefits and there are no uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase within the next 12 months. Substantially all tax years remain open by federal, state and foreign tax jurisdictions.

 

 

10.      Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value rules currently apply to all financial assets and liabilities and for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are required to be recognized or disclosed at fair value. For this purpose, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

 

U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

 

 

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

     
 

Level 2 — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

     
 

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

 

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we held financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The financial assets and liabilities held by us and the fair value hierarchy used to determine their fair values are as follows:

  $ 1,438     $     $     $ 1,438  

Total liabilities

  $ 1,438     $     $     $ 1,438  

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. Other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets are presented at their carrying value, which approximates their fair value.  Based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and the variable interest rate for borrowings under our SunTrust Credit Facility, the carrying value of debt and finance leases approximates fair value.

 

At June 30, 2019 we held financial assets in the form of a $3,278 promissory note acquired in connection with the sale of the Ice Assets that is required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  The note was measured based on the present value of estimated future cash flows.  There were no material nonrecurring fair value measurements recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2018.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, stock options, restricted stock and warrants with respect to an aggregate of 211 shares have been excluded from the computation of the number of shares used in the diluted earnings per share because the exercise or grant prices of the awards were greater than the average market price of the underlying common stock and the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, stock options, restricted stock and warrants with respect to an aggregate of 2,171 shares have been excluded from the computation of the number of shares used in the diluted loss per share because we incurred a net loss for the period and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, stock options, restricted stock and warrants with respect to an aggregate of 67 and 226 shares, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of the number of shares used in the diluted earnings per share because the exercise or grant prices of the awards were greater than the average market price of the underlying common stock and the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

 

 

12.      Segments

 

We have three operating and reportable segments, Primo Refill (“Refill”), Primo Exchange (“Exchange”), and Primo Dispensers (“Dispensers”).

 

Our Refill segment sales consist of the sale of filtered drinking water dispensed directly to consumers through technologically advanced, self-service machines located at major retailers throughout the United States and Canada.

 

Our Exchange segment sales consist of the sale of multi-gallon purified bottled water offered through retailers in the United States and Canada. Our Exchange products are offered through point of purchase display racks and recycling centers that are prominently located at major retailers in space that is often underutilized.

 

Our Dispensers segment sells water dispensers that are designed to dispense Primo and other dispenser-compatible bottled water. Our Dispensers sales are primarily generated through major retailers in the United States and Canada, where we recognize revenues for the sale of the water dispensers when the customer obtains control. We support retail sell-through with domestic inventory.

 

We evaluate the financial results of these segments focusing primarily on segment net sales and segment (loss) income from operations before depreciation and amortization (“segment (loss) income from operations”). We utilize segment net sales and segment (loss) income from operations because we believe they provide useful information for effectively allocating our resources between business segments, evaluating the health of our business segments based on metrics that management can actively influence and gauging our investments and our ability to service, incur or pay down debt.

 

Cost of sales for Refill consists primarily of costs associated with routine maintenance of reverse osmosis water filtration systems and filtered water displays, costs of our field service operations and commissions paid to retailers associated with revenues earned. Cost of sales for Exchange consists primarily of costs for bottling, distribution and bottles. Cost of sales for Dispensers consists of contract manufacturing, freight and duties.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for Refill, Exchange, and Dispensers consist primarily of personnel costs for operations support as well as other supporting costs for operating each segment.

 

Expenses not specifically related to operating segments are shown separately as Corporate. Corporate expenses are comprised mainly of compensation and other related expenses for corporate support, information systems and administration. Corporate expenses also include certain professional fees and expenses and compensation of our Board of Directors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “feel,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,”  or other comparable terms. These forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to inaccurate assumptions and known or unknown risks and uncertainties, including those identified in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Item 2 and in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in Item 1A of Part II of our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We urge you to consider those risks and uncertainties in evaluating our forward-looking statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein (or elsewhere) to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

 

Overview

 

Primo Water Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Primo,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is North America’s leading single source provider of multi-gallon purified bottled water, self-service refill drinking water and water dispensers sold through major retailers in the United States and Canada.  We believe the market for purified water continues to grow due to evolving taste preferences, perceived health benefits and concerns regarding the quality of municipal tap water. Our products provide an environmentally friendly, economical, convenient and healthy solution for consuming purified and filtered water.  We are a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in 2017 in connection with the creation of a holding company structure. Our predecessor was founded in Delaware in 2004.

 

Business

 

Our business is designed to generate recurring demand for our purified bottled water or self-service refill drinking water through the sale of innovative water dispensers. This business strategy is commonly referred to as “razor-razorblade” because the initial sale of a product creates a base of users who frequently purchase complementary consumable products. Once our bottled water is consumed using a water dispenser, empty bottles are exchanged at our recycling center displays, which provide a recycling ticket that offers a discount toward the purchase of a new bottle of Primo purified water or they are refilled at a self-service refill drinking water location. Each of our multi-gallon Exchange water bottles can be sanitized and reused up to 40 times before being taken out of use, crushed and recycled, substantially reducing landfill waste compared to consumption of equivalent volumes of single-serve bottled water. As of June 30, 2019, our products were offered in the United States and in Canada at approximately 45,000 combined retail locations, including Lowe’s Home Improvement, Walmart, Sam’s Club, The Home Depot, Meijer, Kroger, Food Lion, H-E-B Grocery, Circle K, Family Dollar, Walgreens, Albertsons, Publix, and CVS. We believe the market for purified water continues to grow due to evolving taste preferences, perceived health benefits and concerns regarding the quality of municipal tap water. Our products provide an environmentally friendly, economical, convenient and healthy solution for consuming purified and refill drinking water.

 

 

We provide major retailers throughout the United States and Canada with a single-vendor solution for our three reporting segments, Primo Refill (“Refill”), Primo Exchange (“Exchange”), and Primo Dispensers (“Dispensers”), addressing a market demand that we believe was previously unmet. Our approximately 45,000 locations include approximately 23,100 Refill locations, 12,800 Exchange locations and 8,700 Dispenser locations. Our solutions are easy for retailers to implement, require minimal management supervision and store-based labor, and provide centralized billing and detailed performance reports. Exchange offers retailers attractive financial margins and the ability to optimize typically unused retail space with our displays.  Refill provides drinking water for consumer purchase through the installation of self-service vending displays at retail locations. The Refill business model eliminates the bottling and distribution infrastructure required to deliver traditional bottled water, thereby allowing us to provide refill drinking water at a value price as compared to alternatives in the marketplace. Additionally, due to the recurring nature of water consumption, retailers benefit from year-round customer traffic, highly predictable revenue and health and wellness focused consumers.

 

Business Segments

 

We have three operating and reportable segments, Refill, Exchange, and Dispensers.

 

Our Refill segment sales consist of the sale of filtered drinking water dispensed directly to consumers through technologically advanced, self-service machines located at major retailers throughout the United States and Canada.

 

Our Exchange segment sales consist of the sale of multi-gallon purified bottled water offered through retailers in the United States and Canada. Our Exchange products are offered through point of purchase display racks and recycling centers that are prominently located at major retailers in space that is often underutilized.

 

Our Dispensers segment sells water dispensers that are designed to dispense Primo and other dispenser-compatible bottled water. Our Dispensers sales are primarily generated through major retailers in the United States and Canada, where we recognize revenues for the sale of the water dispensers when the customer obtains control. We support retail sell-through with domestic inventory.

 

We evaluate the financial results of these segments focusing primarily on segment net sales and segment (loss) income from operations before depreciation and amortization (“segment (loss) income from operations”). We utilize segment net sales and segment (loss) income from operations because we believe they provide useful information for effectively allocating our resources between business segments, evaluating the health of our business segments based on metrics that management can actively influence and gauging our investments and our ability to service, incur or pay down debt.

 

Cost of sales for Refill consists primarily of costs associated with routine maintenance of reverse osmosis water filtration systems and filtered water displays, costs of our field service operations and commissions paid to retailers associated with revenues earned. Cost of sales for Exchange consists primarily of costs for bottling, distribution and bottles. Cost of sales for Dispensers consists of contract manufacturing, freight and duties.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for Refill, Exchange, and Dispensers consist primarily of personnel costs for operations support as well as other supporting costs for operating each segment.

 

Expenses not specifically related to operating segments are shown separately as Corporate. Corporate expenses are comprised mainly of compensation and other related expenses for corporate support, information systems and administration. Corporate expenses also include certain professional fees and expenses and compensation of our Board of Directors.

 

In this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, when we refer to “same-store unit growth”, we are comparing retail locations at which our products have been available for at least 12 months at the beginning of the relevant period. In addition, “gross margin percentage” is defined as net sales less cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

 

Net sales. Net sales increased 4.6%, or $3.5 million, to $79.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $75.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The change was due to increases in sales for Dispensers and Exchange of $4.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, partially offset by the $2.5 million decrease for Refill.

 

Refill. Refill net sales decreased 5.5% to $42.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in Refill net sales was due to a 6.2% decline in five-gallon equivalent units to 22.8 million attributable to fewer locations and lower same-store units.  These impacts were partially offset by the implementation of price increases.

 

Exchange. Exchange net sales increased 5.0% to $21.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.  Exchange sales growth was driven by the increase in U.S. same-store units of 13.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2019.  In addition, five-gallon equivalent units for Exchange increased 7.2% to 4.4 million units for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 4.1 million units for the same period in 2018.  The increase in sales units was greater than the increase in sales dollars, primarily due to the impact of consumer-focused promotional efforts (including the instantly redeemable coupons for free water with the purchase of a dispenser), and fewer locations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year.

 

Dispensers. Dispensers net sales increased 44.5% to $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to growth in consumer demand as well as the timing of orders from major retailers compared to the same period in the prior year. Consumer demand, which we measure as the dispenser unit sales to end consumers, increased 11.6% to a record 218,000 units for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

        

 

Gross margin percentage. The overall gross margin percentage was 26.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 30.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, due to a shift in sales mix towards Dispensers and the lower gross margin percentage for Refill and Exchange, as described below.

 

Refill. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for our Refill segment was 30.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 34.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in net sales for Refill described above drove a lower gross margin percentage due to the fixed nature of certain costs in our Refill segment.

 

Exchange. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for our Exchange segment was 30.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 32.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to costs associated with consumer-focused promotional efforts including the instantly redeemable coupons for free water with the purchase of a dispenser.

 

Dispensers. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for our Dispensers segment increased slightly to 10.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 9.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 due primarily to a shift in product and customer mix.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). SG&A decreased 8.7% to $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in SG&A expense was driven primarily by the reduction in employee-related expenses.

 

Special items. Special items include expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our core operations or are significant to our current operating results warranting separate classification, were $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  For the three months ended June 30, 2019, Special items consisted of $0.9 million in severance and restructuring-related expenses, and $0.3 million in acquisition-related costs.  For the three months ended June 30, 2018, Special items consisted primarily of acquisition-related costs.

 

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 19.3% to $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase is primarily due to depreciation on the capital investments made in our Exchange and Refill segments subsequent to the second quarter of 2018, as well as the amortization of the Glacier trade name which was impaired on September 30, 2018 and is being amortized as we focus our brand building and marketing efforts in Refill on unifying our Refill product offering around the Primo brand.

 

Loss on disposal of property and equipment and other. Loss on disposal of property and equipment and other increased to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Loss on disposal of property and equipment and other for the three months ended June 30, 2019 consisted primarily of a loss of $0.6 million on the sale of assets and liabilities held for sale (see “Note 4 – Ice Assets Held-for-Sale and Promissory Note” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements) partially offset by $0.3 million in proceeds from the disposal of certain property and equipment. Loss on disposal of property and equipment and other for the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily related to losses on the disposal of certain investments.

  

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net decreased to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The decrease was due primarily to the June 2018 refinancing of our outstanding senior indebtedness which resulted in lower outstanding indebtedness and lower interest rates on such remaining outstanding indebtedness and also resulted in one-time charges for the three months ended June 30, 2018 associated with prepayment penalties and the write-off of deferred loan costs related to the prior senior credit facility.  See “Note 5 - Debt and Finance Leases, net of Debt Issuance Costs” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Income Tax Benefit. We recorded no income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a benefit of $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a tax benefit to reflect the treatment of certain performance-based compensation plans under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”). 

 

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

 

Net sales. Net sales decreased slightly to $149.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $149.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The change was due to the $5.7 million decrease in net sales for Refill partially offset by increases for Dispensers and Exchange of $3.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

 

Refill. Refill net sales decreased 6.5% to $80.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in Refill net sales was due to a 10.5% decline in five-gallon equivalent units to 43.3 million units, attributable to fewer locations and lower same-store units. These impacts were partially offset by the implementation of price increases.

 

Exchange. Exchange net sales increased 5.5% to $40.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.  Exchange sales growth was driven by the increase in U.S. same-store units of 13.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2019.  In addition, five-gallon equivalent units for Exchange increased 8.6% to 8.5 million units for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 7.8 million units for the same period in 2018.  The increase in sales units was greater than the increase in sales dollars, primarily due to the impact of consumer-focused promotional efforts (including the instantly redeemable coupons for free water with the purchase of a dispenser), and fewer locations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year.

 

Dispensers. Dispensers net sales increased 13.5% to $28.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to growth in consumer demand as well as the timing of orders from major retailers compared to the same period in the prior year. Consumer demand, which we measure as the dispenser unit sales to end consumers, increased 5.9% to 403,000 units for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

       

Gross margin percentage. The overall gross margin percentage was 26.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 29.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, due partially to a shift in sales mix towards Dispensers and the lower gross margin of Refill and Exchange, as described below. 

 

Refill. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for our Refill segment was 30.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 33.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. While certain operational initiatives have driven a reduction in cost of sales, the decrease in net sales for Refill described above drove a lower gross margin percentage due to the fixed nature of certain costs in our Refill segment.

 

Exchange. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for our Exchange segment was 30.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 32.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to costs associated with consumer-focused promotional efforts including the instantly redeemable coupons for free water with the purchase of a dispenser.

 

Dispensers. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for our Dispensers segment decreased slightly to 9.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 10.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 due primarily to a shift towards e-commerce sales.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). SG&A increased 1.6% to $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in SG&A expense was driven primarily by the increase in costs associated with marketing, advertising and consumer experience-related initiatives as well as an increase in Dispensers warehouse rent expense. These changes were partially offset by the reduction in employee-related expenses.

 

Special items. Special items include expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our core operations or are significant to our current operating results warranting separate classification, were $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  For the six months ended June 30, 2019, Special items consisted of $1.1 million in severance and restructuring-related expenses, and $0.3 million in acquisition-related costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, Special items consisted primarily of acquisition-related costs. 

 

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 13.7% to $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase is primarily due to depreciation on the capital investments made in our Exchange and Refill segments subsequent to the second quarter of 2018, as well as the amortization of the Glacier trade name which was impaired on September 30, 2018 and is being amortized as we focus our brand building and marketing efforts in Refill on unifying our Refill product offering around the Primo brand. 

 

 

Loss on disposal of property and equipment and other. Loss on disposal of property and equipment and other increased to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  Loss on disposal of property and equipment and other for the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted primarily of a loss of $0.6 million on the sale of assets and liabilities held for sale (see “Note 4 – Ice Assets Held-for-Sale and Promissory Note” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements) partially offset by $0.3 million in proceeds from the disposal of certain property and equipment.  Loss on disposal of property and equipment and other for the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily related to losses on the redemption of Trust Preferred Securities issued by Glacier Water Trust I.

  

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net decreased to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The decrease was due primarily to the June 2018 refinancing of our outstanding senior indebtedness which resulted in lower outstanding indebtedness and lower interest rates on such outstanding indebtedness and also resulted in one-time charges for the six months ended June 30, 2018 associated with prepayment penalties and the write-off of deferred loan costs related to the prior senior credit facility.  See “Note 5 - Debt and Finance Leases, net of Debt Issuance Costs” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Income Tax Benefit. We recorded no income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a benefit of $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded an income tax benefit of $6.8 million primarily due to the 2017 Tax Act changes that went into effect on January 1, 2018 related to the federal net operating loss, which can be carried forward indefinitely. This income tax benefit was partially offset by income tax expense related to goodwill and certain intangible assets of $0.3 million.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Adequacy of Capital Resources

 

We had capital expenditures of $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and we anticipate net capital expenditures to range between $10.0 million and $12.0 million for the remainder of 2019. Anticipated capital expenditures are related primarily to growth and maintenance in Refill and Exchange locations.

 

At June 30, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.3 million and we had $16.9 million in availability under our Revolving Facility. We anticipate using current cash, cash flow from operations and availability under our Revolving Facility to meet our current needs for working capital and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future. If we do require additional debt financing, such debt financing may not be available to us on terms favorable to us, if at all.

 

Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now anticipated and will depend on many factors including:  the number of growth initiatives, including our marketing and brand activation strategies and changes implemented in our Refill business resulting from the downtime issues identified in 2018 that we believe will drive same store sales and the rate of growth in new Refill and Exchange locations and related display, rack and reverse osmosis filtration system costs, cost to develop new Dispenser product lines, sales and marketing resources needed to further penetrate our markets, the expansion of our operations in the United States and Canada, the response of competitors to our solutions and products, as well as the completion of future acquisitions.  Historically, we have experienced increases in our capital expenditures consistent with the growth in our operations, and we anticipate that our expenditures will continue to increase as we grow our business.

 

Our ability to satisfy our obligations or to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our future performance, which to a certain extent is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control.  We also believe that if we pursue any material acquisitions in the foreseeable future we will need to finance this activity through the issuance of equity or additional debt financing, and such financing may not be available to us on terms favorable to us, if at all.

 

 

Changes in Cash Flows

 

The following table shows the components of our cash flows for the periods presented (in millions):

 

   

Six months ended June 30,

 
   

2019

      2018  

Net cash provided by operating activities

  $ 8.9     $ 10.2  

Net cash used in investing activities

  $ (13.7 )   $ (5.5 )

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities

  $ 1.8     $ (4.0 )

 

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $10.2 million for the same period of the prior year. The decrease was driven by changes in working capital, primarily the increase in inventory on hand at June 30, 2019 compared to June 30, 2018.

 

Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $5.5 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in purchases of property and equipment related to the growth and maintenance in Refill and Exchange locations. Additionally, the prior year use of cash in investing activities was reduced by the $3.7 million in proceeds received from the redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities issued by Glacier Water Trust I during the six months ended June 30, 2018 (see “Note 5 – Debt and Finance Leases, net of Debt Issuance Costs” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $4.0 million for the same period of the prior year.  For the six months ended June 30, 2019, our debt level increased due to borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Additionally, shares purchased to pay taxes associated with equity awards and proceeds received from warrant exercises decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2019.  For the six months ended June 30, 2018 net cash flows from finance activities were significantly impacted by the follow-on equity offering and re-financing of the Revolving Facility with SunTrust, which resulted in a net decrease in our debt level.

 

Adjusted EBITDA U.S. GAAP Reconciliation

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net (loss) income before depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; income taxes; change in fair value of warrant liability; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; special items; and impairment charges and other. Our SunTrust Credit Facility contains financial covenants that use Adjusted EBITDA. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management, investors and financial analysts regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes and is presented to our Board of Directors.

 

 

Non-U.S. GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes significant expenses that are required by U.S. GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements and is subject to inherent limitations. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate this non-U.S. GAAP measure differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. The table below provides a reconciliation between net loss and Adjusted EBITDA (dollars in thousands).

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, “Special items” consisted of approximately $0.3 million of acquisition-related expenses, including fees payable to legal advisors, and $0.9 million of costs associated with restructuring and other costs.  For the three months ended June 30, 2018, “Special items” consisted of approximately $0.3 million of transactional expenses associated with the Glacier Acquisition, including fees payable to financial, legal, accounting and other advisors, and $0.1 million of costs associated with restructuring and other costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, “Special items” consisted of approximately $0.3 million of acquisition-related expenses, including fees payable to legal advisors, and $1.1 million of costs associated with restructuring and other costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, “Special items” consisted of approximately $0.4 million of transactional expenses associated with the Glacier Acquisition, including fees payable to financial, legal, accounting and other advisors, and $0.1 million of costs associated with restructuring and other costs. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any investments in special purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or debt. We are party to a derivative contract in the form of a cash flow hedge as of June 30, 2019 (see “Note 5 – Debt and Finance Leases, net of Debt Issuance Costs” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

Inflation and Changing Prices

 

In the three most recent fiscal years, inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future.

 

Seasonality; Fluctuations of Results

 

We have experienced and expect to continue to experience seasonal fluctuations in our sales and operating income. Our sales and operating income have been highest in the spring and summer and lowest in the fall and winter. Our Refill and Exchange segments, which generally enjoy higher margins than our Dispensers segment, experience higher sales and operating income in the spring and summer. We have historically experienced higher sales and operating income from our Dispensers segment in spring and summer; however, we believe the seasonality of dispenser sales are more dependent on retailer inventory management and purchasing cycles and not correlated to weather. Sustained periods of poor weather, particularly in the spring and summer, can negatively impact our sales in our higher margin Refill and Exchange segments. Accordingly, our results of operations in any quarter will not necessarily be indicative of the results that we may achieve for a fiscal year or any future quarter.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Other than the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, as described in “Note 3 - Leases” in the condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This document includes and other information we make public from time to time may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

We caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.  Except as otherwise required by federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein (or elsewhere) to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

 

 

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

There has been no material change in our exposure to market risk during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Please refer to "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" contained in Part II, Item 7A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a discussion of our exposure to market risk.

 

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the 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 Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. These factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to such risk factors.

 

Recently imposed tariffs, increases in the rates of previously imposed tariffs, and other potential changes in international trade relations implemented by the U.S. presidential administration could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Further, any suspension, revocation, expiration, non-renewal or other loss of our temporary exemption from existing tariffs (including the extension of applicable tariffs beyond the duration of our temporary exemption) could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operation.

 

 

Currently, all of our Dispensers are assembled by independent manufacturers in, and imported from, China. These import operations are subject to international trade regulations, including import charges and other agreements among the United States and its trading partners, including China.

 

The U.S. government recently increased the rate applied on previously imposed tariffs on specified imported products originating from China.  Such tariffs were originally imposed in response to what it characterized as unfair trade practices, and China has responded by imposing tariffs on specified products imported from the United States. In a notice published on June 20, 2018, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (the “USTR”) issued a determination and request for public comment under Section 301 under the Trade Act of 1974 (the “Notices”) concerning the imposition of an additional 25% tariff on specified products from China (the “List 1 Tariffs”). The list of products set forth in the Notice included self-contained drinking water coolers, including our Dispensers, which we import from China.

 

In July 2018, we applied to the USTR for a Request for Exclusion from the List 1 Tariffs for our Dispensers (the “Request for Exclusion”). Our Request for Exclusion was granted by the USTR in the fourth quarter of 2018. The exclusion was retroactive to July 6, 2018, and any amounts we paid in respect of such June 2018 Tariffs between the time of their implementation and the granting of our Request for Exclusion will be reimbursed. However, the exemption granted to us by the USTR is temporary and expires in December 2019. A significant number of our Dispensers are subject to the List 1 Tariffs, and there can be no assurances that the United States government will make available the Request for Exclusion or any similar or other relief from the List 1 Tariffs from and after the expiration of our Request for Exclusion in December 2019. Any suspension, revocation, expiration, non-renewal, non-extension or other loss of our temporary exemption from the List 1 Tariffs, or the extension of the List 1 Tariffs beyond the expiration date of our temporary exemption, could adversely affect, in a potentially material manner, our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. We have also worked with our suppliers and secured a reduction in the amount we pay for Dispensers, and we have worked with our customers to increase our prices to include the remaining incremental cost associated with the List 1 Tariff as implemented in the Notice. We believe the cost reduction and increased pricing are offsetting the impact of the List 1 Tariff as implemented in the Notice and would continue to offset such impact in the event our Request for Exclusion expires or is otherwise not renewed, however, if retailers increase prices to consumers, consumer demand may be reduced, and any increases in the rate of the List 1 Tariff or any additional tariffs may adversely affect us in a manner where we cannot negotiate cost reductions or price increases to offset any potential impact.

 

In addition, in September 2018, the USTR finalized a new list of products imported from China that are subject to a new 10% tariff, which went into effect on September 24, 2018 and which was scheduled to increase to 25% on January 1, 2019 (the “List 3 Tariffs”).  On February 28, 2019, President Trump delayed the increase from 10% to 25% to provide time for further negotiations with Chinese trade representatives. In May 2019, the United States increased the List 3 Tariffs from 10% to 25%. In June 2019, the USTR made available an opportunity to allow certain parties affected by the List 3 Tariffs to apply for a request for exclusion from the List 3 Tariffs.

 

We import a small number of lower-priced products subject to the List 3 Tariffs, and we are continuing to monitor the U.S. government’s actions with respect to such List 3 Tariffs and evaluate available options with respect thereto, including the opportunity to apply for a request for exclusion from the List 3 Tariffs.  The List 3 Tariffs, including the rate thereof and the availability of a request for exclusion process, are subject to the discretion of the President and may change at any time without advanced notice as to the timing or magnitude of such changes. .  The continued implementation of such List 3 Tariffs, and any increase in the duties subject to such List 3 Tariffs or any continuing or increased uncertainty with respect to the List 3 Tariffs, may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

 

In addition, in August 2019, President Trump announced his intention to implement a 10% tariff on certain products imported from China that are not otherwise covered by previously-implemented tariffs (the “List 4 Tariffs” and, together with the List 1 Tariffs and the List 3 Tariffs, the “Tariffs”), including the List 1 Tariffs and the List 3 Tariffs.  To date, the USTR has not issued a final proposal in respect of the List 4 Tariffs, including the imported products to be covered under such List 4 Tariffs.  We are continuing to evaluate the scope, coverage and magnitude of the proposed List 4 Tariffs, and any inclusion of any products we import from China that are not otherwise covered by the List 1 Tariffs or the List 3 Tariffs may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

 

These Tariffs, along with any additional tariffs or other trade actions (including duties, import charges or other similar restrictions or other reductions in trade) that may be implemented, may further increase the cost of certain materials and/or products that we import from China, including our Dispensers, or any other foreign nation from which we may source any goods, thereby adversely affecting our profitability. These actions could require us to raise our prices, which could decrease demand for our products or otherwise impact the marketability of our products to retailers and consumers. The Tariffs could also force us to seek alternative suppliers for our Dispensers and other materials we import from China or force our existing suppliers to establish new manufacturing operations in other countries, and the products produced by such manufacturers may be of inferior quality, cost more than the Dispensers we currently import from China, or otherwise be sourced from suppliers with unproven operations or reliability. As a result, these actions, including potential retaliatory measures by China, may adversely impact our business. Given the uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of these trade actions by the United States or other countries, as well as the potential for additional trade actions, the impact on our operations and results remains uncertain and could be significant. To the extent that our supply chain, costs, sales or profitability are negatively affected by the Tariffs or any other trade actions (including duties, import charges or other similar restrictions or other reductions in trade), our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
