Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Some of the statements contained in this quarterly report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, prospects and industry estimates. These statements identify prospective information can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘estimates,’’ ‘‘anticipates,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘seeks,’’ ‘‘projects,’’ ‘‘intends,’’ ‘‘plans,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘will’’ or ‘‘should’’ or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding: (i) our liquidity, including our belief that our existing cash, cash equivalents and anticipated revenues are sufficient to fund our existing operating expenses, capital expenditures and liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months; (ii) our outlook and expectations including, without limitation, statements made regarding continued market expansion and penetration for our products and (iii) expected new product launch dates and market exclusivity periods. The foregoing is not an exclusive list of all forward-looking statements we make. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. The matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report may not in fact occur. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions and the following:

 

·                  We face intense competition in our business, which could lead to reduced profitability if we cannot compete effectively.

·                  Harm to our reputation or the reputation of one or more of our leading brands could have an adverse effect on our business.

·                  Customer support of our marketing and advertising programs and new product launches is critical for our success.

·                  A significant portion of our net sales and net earnings is derived from a few key customers. The loss of any one or more of these customers could cause a material decline in our operating results.

·                  Sales growth may be difficult to achieve.

·                  We may not successfully develop and introduce new products and line extensions.

·                  Our operating results and net earnings may not meet expectations.

·                  Acquisitions, new venture investments and divestitures may not be successful.

·                  Changes in market distributor relationships that are not managed successfully could result in a disruption in one or more of the affected markets.

·                  Our quarterly results of operations are subject to fluctuations due to the seasonality of our business and other events.

·                  We are exposed to commodity fluctuation risk and may not be able to adequately hedge our exposure, if at all.

·                  We may be adversely affected by the current economic environment or future volatility in global economies.

·                  Failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impact our competitiveness, allow our competitors to develop and market products with features similar to our products and demand for our products could decline.

·                  If we are found to have infringed the intellectual property rights of others or cannot obtain necessary intellectual property rights from others, our competitiveness could be adversely impacted.

·                  In the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to product liability claims and lawsuits, including potential class actions, alleging that our products have resulted in or could result in unsafe condition or injury.

·                  Our dependence upon third parties for the manufacture and supply of a substantial portion of our products could prevent us from delivering our products to our customers in the required quantities or within the required timeframe, which could result in order cancellations and decreased net sales.

 



Table of Contents

 

·                  Reliance on a limited base of third party contract manufacturers, logistics and procurement service providers may result in disruption to our business.

·                  Our facilities and those of our suppliers are subject to disruption by events beyond our control.

·                  We operate under a Federal Trade Commission consent order, which requires certain compliance policies and procedures. Should we violate our requirements thereunder, we may face significant fines and penalties.

·                  Compliance with environmental law and other government regulations could impose material costs.

·                  Operations outside the United States expose us to uncertain conditions and other risks in international markets.

·                  Because we operate and sell our products in foreign countries, changes in currency exchange rates could adversely affect our operations and financial results.

·                  We may not be able to hire or retain the number of qualified personnel required for our business, which would harm the development and sales of our products and limit our ability to grow.

·                  If we lose the services of our key personnel, our business could be adversely affected.

·                  A failure of a key information technology system could adversely impact our ability to conduct business.

·                  Our continued growth and expansion and increasing reliance on third-party service providers could adversely affect our internal control over financial reporting, which could harm our business and financial results.

·                  Our historical financial information may not be representative of our results as a stand-alone company or indicative of our future financial performance.

·                  Transition activities are complicated and may distract the organization from operating the business. Additionally, successful carve-out execution is risky, complex and requires substantial resources and expenditures.

·                  We may experience difficulties operating as a stand-alone company.

·                  Changes in tax laws could adversely affect the taxes we pay and our profitability.

·                  We may not be able to raise additional funds when needed for our business or to exploit opportunities.

·                  We are subject to financial reporting and other requirements for which our accounting and other management systems and resources may not be adequately prepared.

·                  We may incur increased ongoing costs as a result of being obligated to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives when we are effectively registered.

·                  As an ‘‘emerging growth company’’ under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.

 

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this quarterly report speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 — The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company

 

Armored AutoGroup Inc. is a consumer products company consisting primarily of Armor All and STP, two of the most recognizable brands in the automotive aftermarket appearance products and performance products categories, respectively. Armored AutoGroup delivers its products to distributors, resellers and end users (collectively the customers) through its direct operations in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom and distributor relationships in approximately 50 countries. The Armor All® and STP® brands offer multiple automotive appearance and performance products that can be found in most of the major developed countries around the world.

 

On November 5, 2010, affiliates of Avista Capital Holdings, L.P. (“Avista”) acquired the Armor All, STP and certain other brands from The Clorox Company (“Clorox”) pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated September 21, 2010 (the “Acquisition”). Armored AutoGroup Parent Inc. (“AAG Parent” or “Parent”) indirectly owns all of AAG’s issued and outstanding capital stock through its direct subsidiary and AAG’s direct parent, Armored AutoGroup Intermediate Inc.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions made. Further, the results for the interim period ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, or for any future period.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted or condensed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 133-180736) filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, which includes a complete set of footnote disclosures, including the Company’s significant accounting policies. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the financial information or disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

Subsequent to the Acquisition, Clorox provided certain significant services to the Company under a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”). On November 1, 2011, the Company completed the transition of its North American and export operations from Clorox provisioning to stand-alone operations. The Company completed the transition of certain international operations from Clorox in the second quarter of 2012 and terminated the remaining service components of the TSA.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications included separately stating interest expense of $12,107,000 and $23,933,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations which was previously included in interest and other expense, net and separately stating the change in the amount due from Clorox of $8,211,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows which was previously included in other current assets. These reclassifications did not change the previously reported net loss of the Company.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales are recognized as revenue when the risk of loss and title pass to the customer and when all of the following have occurred: a firm sales arrangement exists, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded net of allowances for returns, trade-promotions, coupons and other discounts. The Company commits to one-time or ongoing trade-promotion programs with customers and consumer coupon programs that require the Company to estimate and accrue the expected costs of such programs. Programs include cooperative marketing programs, shelf price reductions, advantageous end-of-aisle or in-store displays of the Company’s products, graphics and other trade-promotion activities conducted by the customer. Coupons are recognized as a liability when distributed based upon expected consumer redemptions. The Company maintains liabilities at the end of each period for the estimated expenses incurred, but unpaid for these programs. Trade-promotion and coupon costs are recorded as a reduction of sales.

 

The Company’s business is moderately seasonal. Sales are typically higher in the first half of the calendar year as customers purchase stock for the spring and summer seasons when weather is warmer in the northern hemisphere than in the fall and winter months.  This pattern is largely reflective of customers’ seasonal purchasing patterns, as well as the timing of Company promotional activities. Weather can also influence consumer behavior, especially for appearance products. Armor All and STP automotive appearance and performance products sell best during warm, dry weather, and sell less strongly if weather is cold and wet.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Local currencies are the functional currencies for substantially all of the Company’s foreign operations. When the transactional currency is different than the functional currency, transaction gains and losses are included as a component of other expense (income), net. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the respective balance sheet reporting date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. For purposes of these financial statements, currency translation adjustments were allocated based on net assets subject to translation. Gains and losses on foreign currency translations are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Deferred taxes are not provided on cumulative translation adjustments where the Company expects earnings of a foreign subsidiary to be indefinitely reinvested. The income tax effect of currency translation adjustments related to foreign subsidiaries in certain countries that are not considered indefinitely reinvested is recorded as a component of deferred taxes with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income includes net earnings and foreign currency translation adjustments that are excluded from net earnings, but are included as a separate component of shareholder’s equity.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”), which is intended to result in convergence between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards requirements for measurement of, and disclosures about, fair value. ASU 2011-04 clarifies or changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption prohibited for public companies. The new guidance will require prospective application. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June and December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on the presentation of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of OCI as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and also requires presentation of reclassification adjustments from OCI to net income on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with the exception of the requirement to present reclassification adjustments from OCI to net income on the face of the financial statements, which has been deferred pending further deliberation by the FASB.  Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”) to amend the requirement for an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.  ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2011-11 on January 1, 2013, as required, but does not believe this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2 — Related-Party Transactions

 

Clorox

 

In conjunction with the Acquisition agreement, the Company entered into a TSA with Clorox whereby Clorox would provide certain services, equipment and office space to the Company.  Additionally under the TSA, the Company provided certain services to Clorox. Related-party transactions and activities involving Clorox are not always consummated on terms equivalent to those that would prevail in an arm’s-length transaction where conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may exist.  The TSA is cancelable by the Company in part or whole with 120 days’ notice. On November 1, 2011, the Company completed the transition of its North American and export operations from Clorox provisioning to stand-alone operations. The Company completed the transition of certain international operations from Clorox in the second quarter of 2012 and terminated the remaining service components of the TSA. The Company has notified Clorox that it will terminate lease of certain office space on August 31, 2012, the last remaining service, equipment or office space under the TSA.

Note 3 — Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s accounts receivable potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk. The carrying values of the Companies accounts receivable approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.  The Company sells the majority of its products through third-party distributors and resellers and, as a result, maintains individually significant receivable balances with these parties. If the financial condition or operations of these distributors and resellers deteriorates substantially, the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Credit Facility

 

In connection with the Acquisition on November 5, 2010, the Company entered into a credit agreement, among Armored AutoGroup Intermediate Inc. (f/k/a Viking Intermediate Inc.), the Company, several lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other agents parties thereto (the “Credit Facility”).  Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of the sum of (i) the greater of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or 1.75% and (ii) 4.25%. The Credit Facility provided revolving credit and a Term Loan as follows:

 

Revolver  An unsecured $50.0 million revolving credit loan (the “Revolver”), which continues into November 2015. Further to interest as described above on the Revolver, an annual commitment fee of 0.75% is charged quarterly based on the average daily unused portion of the Revolver.

 

Term Loan  A $300.0 million term loan with quarterly principal payments of $750,000 and the remaining principal maturing in November 2016.

 

The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  The Credit Facility is subject to certain covenants which restrict the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness or liens, or make certain investments and requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios.  As of June 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Facility.

 

Senior Notes

 

In connection with the Acquisition on November 5, 2010, the Company further issued 9.25% senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million, which will mature in November 2018. The coupon interest on these notes is payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1.

 

Under terms of a registration rights agreement the Company entered into with respect to the notes, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete an exchange offer related to the notes by April 28, 2012.  The Company has filed a registration statement with the SEC that was effective July 26, 2012.  Until the exchange offer is completed on August 23, 2012, additional interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum.  Additional interest accrued of $115,000 through June 30, 2012 according to these terms along with added interest for the period July 1 to August 23, 2012 is payable November 1, 2012.

Note 10- Fair Value Measurement of Assets and Liabilities

 

The Company defines fair value 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. The Company established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value which is intended to increase consistency and comparability and related disclosures. An asset or liability’s classification is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement and is disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation and Other Legal Matters

 

In connection with the Acquisition, Clorox retained liability associated with a potential contract claim and the Company agreed to indemnify and reimburse Clorox for 50% of the first $5,000,000 in settlement costs related to the contract claim. As of both December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, the Company has accrued $2,500,000 in long-term liabilities related to this contingency.

 

The Company is subject to various lawsuits and claims relating to issues such as contract disputes, product liability, patents and trademarks, advertising, employee and other matters. Although the results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of these matters, to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial statements taken as a whole.

 

Note 12 — Defined Contribution Plan

 

The Company established a defined contribution plan in the United States for the Company’s employees that contains two components, a 401(k) component and a profit-sharing component, which qualifies as a tax deferred savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

The Company does not allocate its cost of products sold — acquisition related, acquisition-related charges, amortization of intangible assets or interest expense between its North America and International segments but includes them in the tables above under Corporate in order to reconcile the North America and International segments’ performance to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.  All intersegment sales are eliminated and are not included in the Company’s reportable segments’ net sales.

 

Note 14 — Income taxes

 

The Company’s effective benefit rate in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012 was 39.1% and 54.0%, respectively, and in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012 was 39.1% and 46.3%, respectively. The Company’s effective benefit rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 reflects the anticipated effective benefit rate for 2012, which will differ from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the effect of U.S. federal manufacturing benefits expected for 2012 and the impact of foreign tax planning during the latter part of 2011 which increases the benefit rate on the anticipated loss for 2012.

 

The Company’s effective benefit rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to U.S. federal manufacturing benefits recognized during the period, which increased the benefit rate on the loss for the quarter. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, the Company determined that the actual tax expense for the period represented the best estimate of the tax provision for the year to date, in lieu of the general effective rate model.

 

Note 15 — Financial Information for the Company and Its Subsidiaries

 

The Company’s payment obligations under the Senior Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility. These guarantees are full and unconditional, subject, in the case of the subsidiary guarantors, to customary release provisions. The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its subsidiaries. In servicing payments to be made on the Senior Notes and other indebtedness, and to satisfy other liquidity requirements, the Company will rely, in large part, on cash flows from these subsidiaries, mainly in the form of dividends, royalties and advances or payments on account of intercompany loan arrangements. The ability of these subsidiaries to make dividend payments to the Company will be affected by, among other factors, the obligations of these entities to their creditors, requirements of corporate and other law, and restrictions contained in agreements entered into by or relating to these entities.

 

The following supplemental condensed combining financial information sets forth, on a combining basis, balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the Company, the guarantor subsidiaries, the non-guarantor subsidiaries and elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Company and its subsidiaries. This information is presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures pursuant to Regulation S-X Rule 3-10 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, ‘‘Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered.’’

 

The operating and investing activities of the separate legal entities are fully interdependent and integrated. Accordingly, the results of the separate legal entities are not representative of what the operating results would be on a stand-alone basis.

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

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the factors we describe under “Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements,” “Risk factors” and elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

Overview

 

We are a consumer products company consisting primarily of Armor All® and STP®, two of the most recognizable brands in the automotive aftermarket appearance products and performance products categories, respectively. Both brands have leading category shares in the United States, with Armor All having a #1 value share of market in the appearance products category and STP a #3 value share of market in the performance products category, in each case, based on sales volumes in U.S. dollars in approximately the year-ending December 31, 2011 as measured by NPD Group, Inc. and Nielsen Holdings, N.V. (“Nielsen”), our primary sources for U.S. third-party industry data and forecasts. In 2012, NPD discontinued tracking the auto industry. We believe there has been no significant change in our rankings since December 31, 2011. Armor All’s current product line of protectants, wipes, tire and wheel care products, glass cleaners, leather care products and washes is designed to clean, shine and protect interior and exterior automobile surfaces. STP’s offering of oil and fuel additives, functional fluids and automotive appearance products has a broad customer base ranging from professional racers to car enthusiasts and “Do-it-Yourselfers.” Our brands offer multiple automotive appearance and performance products that can be found in most of the major developed countries around the world. We have a diversified geographic footprint with direct operations in the United States, Canada, Australia and the U.K. and distributor relationships in approximately 50 countries.

 

Armor All is the most recognized automotive aftermarket appearance product brand in the United States with a comprehensive and competitively priced product line. Armor All’s advertising campaigns, such as the “Go ahead. Stare,” “Care for your car” and the new “Armor All Way,” build on Armor All’s strong brand equity established over its 50 year history to maintain a high level of consumer awareness. We further believe that Armor All has distinguished itself as the leader in the automotive aftermarket appearance products category based upon its household name, high-quality product formulations, convenient application methods and tradition of innovation.

 

The STP brand has been characterized by a commitment to technology, performance and motor sports partnerships for over 50 years. Regular use of STP additives as part of basic maintenance helps engines run better by boosting the cleaning performance of gas and saving gas by keeping fuel systems clean. We believe the STP brand’s fuel and oil additives, functional fluids and automotive appearance products benefit from a rich heritage in the car enthusiast and racing scenes.

 

On November 5, 2010, affiliates of Avista Capital Holdings, L.P. (“Avista”) acquired the Armor All, STP and certain other brands from The Clorox Company (“Clorox”) pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated September 21, 2010 (the “Acquisition”). Prior to the Acquisition, the brands were managed primarily for short-term profitability, with limited resources provided to drive growth in the business. In anticipation of a potential sale of the business by Clorox, the AutoCare Products Business was established as a stand-alone division. Following the Acquisition, we began to address several of the issues that had constrained the business. Specifically, we invested in increased merchandising support, increased racing sponsorships and changed the advertising on Armor All. We have continued this merchandising support and in 2012 have begun consumer advertising of STP. We continue to focus on innovation and building a pipeline of new products. We continue to invest in the business to build upon what we believe are strong brand equity and category positions of Armor All and STP and create strong growth momentum.

Our strategy

 

We intend to build on our success by pursuing the following strategies:

 

·                  Launching new and innovative products. During 2011, we launched seven new Armor All products or improvements as well as two new STP products.  In 2012, we have launched 19 new Armor All stock keeping units (“SKUs”), six new STP SKUs as well as one SKU under the Tuff Stuff equity.

 

·                  Reinvigorating the STP brand.  Marketing and new product support for the STP brand was limited under Clorox ownership. To address this deficiency in 2011, we launched two new products, re-launched the STP line of fuel additives in concentrate form and returned to a major part of our STP heritage in 2011 through racing sponsorships in NASCAR, the National Hot Rod Association (“NHRA”) and the World of Outlaws Sprint Car league. In 2012, we are continuing our new product introductions and racing sponsorships and have increased our marketing spending on TV, print and online advertising.

 

·                  Building upon trade relationships. Management is taking a more active approach to cultivating trade relationships, including pursuing in-store promotional activities, designing display support and endorsing other merchandising events to drive traffic for the retailer.

 

·                  Pursuing international growth. Previously, in many countries outside of the United States, Armor All and STP were a secondary priority for a sales force focused on selling Clorox’s core household cleaning products. Although approximately 32% and 30% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, were sold outside the United States, we believe we can increase our percentage of sales generated in international markets.

 

·                  Entering into adjacent markets. The Armor All brand is grounded in its ability to clean, shine and protect and this has applications in both the automotive aftermarket appearance category and other uses within the home and for recreation. Additionally, both brands have opportunities to compete in the professional service facility market (the “Do it for Me,” or “DIFM” market).

 

·                  Opportunistically pursuing acquisitions. We plan to opportunistically evaluate transactions that can create value across our capital structure.

 

Factors affecting our financial statements and critical accounting policies

 

See Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,  “The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” included elsewhere in this quarterly report and also described more fully in our financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies in our audited financial statements included within our final prospectus dated July 26, 2012 and filed with the SEC on July 26, 2012 under Rule 424(b)(1) and as part of our Registration Statement on Form S-4 for a discussion of our accounting policies and how they impact our financial statements

Key performance indicators

 

Management reviews and analyzes several key performance indicators in order to manage our business and assess the quality of, and potential variability of, our earnings and cash flows. These key performance indicators include:

 

·                  Net sales which is an indicator of our overall business growth;

 

·                  Gross profit is a key factor in the relative strength of our brands as gross profits enable us to generate cash to maintain marketing support, and therefore improve brand health; and

 

·                  Operating expenses outright and as a percentage of net sales which is an indicator of the efficiency of our business and our ability to manage our business to budget.

Net sales

 

Our business is moderately seasonal. Our sales are typically higher in the first half of the calendar year as our customers purchase stock for the spring and summer seasons when weather is warmer in the northern hemisphere than in the fall and winter months.  This pattern is largely reflective of our customers’ seasonal purchasing patterns, as well as the timing of our promotional activities. Weather can also influence consumer behavior, especially for appearance products. Our products sell best during warm, dry weather, and sell less strongly if weather is cold and wet.

 

Net sales for our North America segment include products marketed and sold to customers in the United States and Canada.  Our International segment represents net sales to all other regions outside of the United States and Canada, primarily being Europe, Australia and Latin America.  The following table summarizes our net sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2012 (in thousands, except percentages):

In North America, the increase in net sales for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2011 was driven by volume related to the launch of new Armor All and STP products and product extensions as well as a price increase that was effective June 2011 across both product lines.  Additionally, Armor All volume was aided by the warmer and drier than normal weather conditions in much of North America for the early part of 2012 and increased investment in racing sponsorships and advertising spend on TV, print and online, were initiated as part of the 2012 program to support the brands. Partially offsetting this new product growth and price increase is the continued decline, albeit improved from first quarter to second quarter, of the base business volume in the STP brand.

 

The International net sales decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding period in 2011 was primarily driven by a strong sell ahead in the first three months of 2012 in advance of our enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) transition resulting in lower volumes in the second three months of 2012.  Additionally, market softness in Europe and an unfavorable exchange rate impact of the Euro to the US dollar resulted in lower net sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2012.  All international regions showed volume growth for the six month period ended June 30, 2012.

The increase in the cost of products sold is driven by the higher volume in both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012.  The percentage increase in the cost of goods sold is higher than the net sales percentage increase for the three months ending June 30, 2012 due to excess freight and warehouse costs as a result of higher product inventory levels related to the separation from Clorox’s supply chain.  These costs include additional warehousing space in North America, the related handling costs to move product among these warehouses, delivery inefficiencies in the form of expedited shipments and the use of non-preferred carriers and one time start-up costs.  As the business begins to normalize operations, these costs are anticipated to decrease in the second half of 2012.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, $4.4 million associated with the step-up in the value of inventory of $11.7 million that was recorded in connection with the Acquisition was recorded in cost of products sold-acquisition related as the inventory was sold.

Gross profit in the six months ended June 30, 2011 included the amortization of inventory step-up resulting from purchase accounting.  Notwithstanding the impact of that purchase accounting, gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 would have been 49.2%.  As discussed above, the impact of the excess freight and warehousing costs negatively impacted the gross profit percentage for both the three month and six month periods of June 30, 2012.  Excluding the excess freight and warehousing costs, the gross profit rates for both periods in 2012 would be higher than the 2011 gross profit rates reflecting the impact of higher prices.

The increase in the selling and administrative expenses in both the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 was due to a redundancy in our workforce as we transitioned from the Clorox TSA to our permanent selling, marketing, finance and administrative staff.  This overlap resulted in additional costs of $1.5 million and $3.2 million in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively.  In addition to these transitional costs, there are $1.6 million and $2.6 million of expenses related to our new ERP system during those same periods.  Offsetting these costs on a year over year basis is the overall reduction in the Clorox TSA costs as we transition to a stand-alone company and improve our efficiencies in the U.S.  We were still in the process of separating from the Clorox TSA in a number of our non-U.S. operations in the first half of 2012, completing the separation of these operations in the second quarter of 2012.

 

The increase in our advertising costs in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2011 was primarily due to the increase in spend related to reinvigoration of the STP brand.

 

The decrease in our research and development costs in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2011 was primarily due to the July 1, 2011 cessation of research and development services rendered by Clorox under the TSA.

 

Income taxes

 

Our effective benefit rate in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012 was 39.1% and 54.0%, respectively, and in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012 was 39.1% and 46.3%, respectively. Our effective benefit rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 reflects our anticipated effective benefit rate for 2012, which will differ from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the effect of U.S. federal manufacturing benefits expected for 2012 and the impact of foreign tax planning during the latter part of 2011 which will increase the benefit rate on the anticipated loss for 2012.

 

The effective benefit rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to U.S. federal manufacturing benefits recognized during the period, which increased the benefit rate on the loss for the quarter. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, we determined that the actual tax expense for the period represented the best estimate of the tax provision for the year to date, in lieu of the general effective rate model.

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

Our principle sources of liquidity are our cash of $5.7 million as of June 30, 2012, and our $50.0 million revolving credit loan on which we had $15.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2012.

Operating activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase in net operating assets of $33.7 million and our net loss of $5.2 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $14.5 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to an increase in net operating assets of $20.7 million and our net loss of $3.0 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $16.2 million. The increase in our operating assets in the six months ended June 30, 2012 was comprised of an increase of $36.4 million in accounts receivable which was attributable to the increase in sales due to seasonality of appearance products and the transition of receivables team from Clorox; an increase in inventories of $16.6 million which was driven by the decision to increase inventory to aid customer order fulfillment following our North America supply chain and ERP separation from Clorox;  offsetting these operating asset increases was an increase of $28.3 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities; and a $9.8 million decrease in the amount due from Clorox as we completed the transition of our North American and export operations.

 

Investing activities

 

Our cash used in investing activities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2012 was comprised solely of capital expenditures.  Capital spending was 3% of net sales in both of the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2012 and is largely attributable to our ERP system implementation.

 

Financing activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 included seasonal net borrowings on our revolving credit facility of $9.0 million, $1.5 million of principal payments on our term loan and $0.6 million of debt financing costs incurred related to amending our credit facility, together with $0.8 million we received on behalf of our Parent related to the sale of it’s stock to certain of our employees.  Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 included $1.5 million of principal payments on our term loan and seasonal net borrowings of $15.0 million on our revolver.

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

We currently have no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Credit Facility and Senior Notes

 

Our debts include the principal of our revolver and our long-term loan and senior notes. For additional details related to our credit facilities and senior notes, please see Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Debt,” included in this quarterly report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Foreign currency risk

 

We sell our products in many countries outside of the United States and, as such, are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk. However, our foreign currency exchange exposure is limited due to the concentration of our revenues and profitability in the United States. Additionally, our net sales are typically earned in the same currency in which we incur our expenses in the United States and Europe, which also mitigates for foreign exchange exposure. Given management’s belief that our business faces limited foreign exchange risk, we currently do not have any currency hedging programs in place; however, we will continue to assess our foreign exchange risk management strategy as our business outside of the United States grows.

 

Interest rate risk

 

We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with our debt instruments. As of June 30, 2012, we have approximately $585.5 million of total debt outstanding, excluding $35.0 million of unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, of which $310.5 million have been bearing interest at a variable a rate of the sum of (i) the greater of LIBOR or 1.75% and (ii) 4.25%.  As LIBOR is currently less than 1.75%, even a one percentage point change on our variable rate debt would not have affected our interest expense in the six month period ended June 30, 2012.  However, if six month LIBOR, for example, were 1.5 percentage points higher during the six months ended June 30, 2012 our interest expense would have increased  approximately $0.7 million for period. We currently do not have any interest rate swaps; however, we continually assess our interest rate risk for purposes of determining whether interest rate hedges would be consistent with our overall risk management strategy.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2012, including controls and procedures to timely alert management to material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries required to be included in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act. Based on such evaluation, they have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our second fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures provide our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reasonable assurances that our disclosure controls and procedures will achieve their objectives. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can or will prevent all human error. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are internal resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be weighed relative to their corresponding costs. Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide complete assurance that all control issues and instances of error, if any, within our company are detected.

 

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of

 

35



Table of Contents

 

future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

In connection with the Acquisition, Clorox retained liability associated with a potential contract claim and the Company agreed to indemnify and reimburse Clorox for 50% of the first $5,000,000 in settlement costs related to the contract claim. As of both December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, the Company has accrued $2,500,000 in long-term liabilities related to this contingency.

 

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings, regulatory investigations and claims incident to the normal conduct of business, which may include proceedings that are specific to us and others generally applicable to business practices within the industries in which we operate. A substantial legal liability or a significant regulatory action against us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and on the results of operations in a particular quarter or year.  As of June 30, 2012, we had no material ongoing litigation, regulatory or other proceedings and had no knowledge of any investigations by governmental or regulatory authorities in which we are a target that could have a material adverse effect on our current business.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” included within our final prospectus dated July 26, 2012 and filed with the SEC on July 26, 2012 under Rule 424(b)(1) and as part of our Registration Statement on Form S-4. The risks described in the final prospectus are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in the prospectus referred to above.
