Item 1. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 (“Interim 2018”) and the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 (“Interim 2019”) should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this semi-annual report. The consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report are those of TerraCycle US Inc. and represent our entire operation. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

Even though we were only formed in August 2017, our wholly owned subsidiary, TerraCycle US, LLC has been operating in the United States since January 1, 2014. At that time, our now wholly owned operating subsidiary assumed all income and expenses associated with our parent company’s US operations, which had been operating since 2003. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiary TerraCycle US, LLC and its domestic subsidiary, which is wholly owned. On August 14, 2017, TerraCycle, Inc., (the sole member of TerraCycle US, LLC) contributed that membership in TerraCycle US, LLC to us. We conduct our business exclusively through our operating subsidiary, which has generated revenues in each fiscal year since its inception. Our business focuses on helping companies and consumers find a solution to collect and recycle many kinds of waste that are not commonly recycled. We provide premium recycling services to manufacturers (brands), retailers, organizations and individuals that pay us to recycle a product and/or package they manufacture or use.

 

Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of the company’s financial condition and results of operations are based on the consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires that management make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to receivable allowances, inventories, accruals, goodwill and other intangible assets. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Operating Results

 

Our net sales are derived primarily from sale of products and services in four principal operations: Sponsored Waste Collection Programs, Zero Waste Boxes, Material Sales, and Regulated Waste. In addition, certain corporate items are included in net sales. This relates to assets that are not managed directly by the reportable segments. Our net sales increased to $11,229,215 for Interim 2019 from $9,453,499 for Interim 2018, an increase of $1,775,716 (19%). This increase was due to:

 

-Sponsored Waste revenues increased by $1,374,000 (45%), driven by new programs contributing $385,000 in incremental management fees and $1,029,000 increased variable revenue across most programs.
-Zero Waste Boxes revenues increased by $1,074,000 (62%), driven by the continued expansion of this segment across individual and corporate customers.

-Material Sales revenue decreased by $1,120,000 (80%), due to timing of closing large deals. While two larger sales were finalized in the first half of 2018, we in the process of completing equally large deals in the second half of 2019, which will put us in line or potentially above the total revenue of the prior year.
-Regulated Waste revenues decreased by $197,000 (5%), partially impacted by the disruption of moving to new systems to integrate with the rest of the company.
-Corporate increased by $645,000, due to the decrease in deferred revenue on the variable fees as we increase the amount of waste processed, which are not recorded at the segment level (mainly Zero Waste Boxes and Regulated Waste).

 

Our cost of revenues primarily consists of logistics expenses (both shipping and warehousing), redemption of charity points, processing costs and cost of employees associated with the delivery of services. Our cost of revenues was approximately $4,882,702 for Interim 2019, a decrease of $300,650 (6%) from $5,183,352 in Interim 2018. This was driven by $955,000 of lower costs associated with lower revenues, primarily in the Material Sales business, partially offset by in increase of $654,000 in costs in the other segments in line with the net revenue increase of those segments.

 

Our gross profit was $6,346,513 for Interim 2019, an increase of $ 2,076,366 (49%), compared to $4,270,147 in the same period last year. Gross margin increased to 56.5%, compared to 45.2% in the same period last year, reflecting a more profitable product mix.

 

Our operating expenses primarily consist of selling, general and administrative expense. Operating expenses were $4,136,659 in Interim 2019, an increase of 772,623 (23%) compared to $3,364,036 for Interim 2018. This increase was driven by higher bad debt provision of $258,000 (most of which we believe should be recovered in the second half of the year), $259,000 higher TCI management and IP fees associated with the higher revenue, $174,000 higher personnel expenses, and $87,000 transactional expenses related to the higher volume of revenue.  

 

Other income/expenses, primarily interest income/expense, increased by approximately $139,000 to $58,778 in other income in Interim 2019 from $79,903 in other expense in Interim 2018, due to the elimination of interest expense with the payment of the seller’s note to finance the acquisition of the Regulated Waste business segment, and the interest income generated by the loan facility with the company’s parent corporation.

 

Income tax provision increased by $235,880 to $459,390 in Interim 2019 from $223,510 last year, due to the higher level of before tax profits.

 

As a result of the foregoing, the net income of the company increased by $1,206,544 to $1,809,242 in Interim 2019, from $602,698 in same period last year.

Commitments

 

On March 27, 2014, TerraCycle US, LLC entered into a mortgage note payable to TD Bank, N.A. related to the purchase of office space located on 121 New York Avenue, Trenton, New Jersey. The principal amount of that loan is $300,000 and is subject to interest at 5.75%. TD Bank has a call to reset the interest rate at each five-year anniversary of the mortgage; however, we have option to pay off the entire mortgage at that time without penalty. The mortgage note is secured by the building and matures on April 1, 2029. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding principal on that loan was approximately $220,000.

 

On May 26, 2016, TerraCycle US, LLC entered into a mortgage note payable with Bank of America Merrill Lynch related to the purchase of additional office space for the building located on 21 Hillside Avenue in Trenton, New Jersey. The principal amount of that loan is $300,000 and is subject to interest at 4.5%. The mortgage note is secured by the building and matures on May 25, 2031. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding principal on that loan was approximately $254,000.

 

On October 31, 2017, the company entered into a promissory note payable for the acquisition of ACC. The note was payable in $50,000 monthly installments of principal plus interest at 6% through September 30, 2021. The company paid the ACC promissory note in full on February 27, 2019. Repayment of this loan was made with $1,750,000 using funds from the proceeds of the closing of Regulation A, $200,000 using the option to exercise the exchange of Class A Preferred stock, and the remaining $258,595 balance using the line of credit described below.

 

On February 25, 2019, the Company opened a $2,000,000 Line of Credit with Bank of America. Terms include an interest rate of daily LIBOR plus 2.35%, and the line expires on December 31, 2019 with a renewal option upon a renewal notice from the bank. The line of credit has been used from time to time, with no balance outstanding as of June 30, 2019.

 

The company contracts with various third party properties for storage facilities on an as-needed basis. Storage facilities are on a month-to-month basis and not subject to lease agreements, with the exception of one facility located in Hamilton Township, NJ near our headquarters in which the company has entered into a lease agreement with a stockholder of its parent company that expires on January 31, 2020. The total amount paid for that lease for Interim 2019 was $96,500. 

 

Capital Resources

 

The company launched a Regulation A offering in January 2018. We currently (as of the date of this report) have raised $9,025,000 from the sale of securities in that offering and another $100,000 pending the Know Your Client compliance process administered by our broker-dealer.

 

As of June 30, 2019, we had $1,859,145 of cash. Management believes that the company’s existing cash balances at June 30, 2019, along with cash expected to be generated from future operations and current capital-raising, will be sufficient to fund activities for the foreseeable future.

 

Management’s Report

 

The growth we experienced in 2018 has not only continued in 2019 but also has increased in momentum with many new programs launched, consistent increases in media placements, and an ever-growing number of brand partners in our Sponsored Waste Collection Programs moving to longer-term contracts.

Zero Waste Boxes (ZWB)

 

The ZWB division produced revenue of $2.8 million as of June 30, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2018. Sales with existing clients continue to increase. The ZWB business development team is currently focused on finalizing contracts for several in-store recycling programs, which are expected to launch later this year. Zero Waste Box sales on our e-commerce platform continue to grow, and monthly sales now average $300,000 per month. We have entered into several new partnerships across multiple industries (as further illustrated in the chart below).

 

New ZWB Programs Launched in the first half of 2019:

 

Conglomerate/Brand  Sale Type  Waste Stream
Williams and Sonoma  Retail  Coffee Capsules
Dillard’s  Retail  Beauty Products
Vans (VFC)  Retail  Footwear
GrainPro  Direct  Feed Bags
Reebok  Direct  Clothing
GPJ Experiential Marketing  Event  Nametags and Lanyards
Nature Valley (General Mills)  Event  Candy and Snack Wrappers
Barilla  Event  Plastic Packaging and Compost
HBI International  Event  Cigarette Waste

 

Materials Sales

 

The Materials Sales team is pleased to announce that it has launched the largest-ever retail recycling program for car seats for Wal-Mart in 4,200 stores.

 

The Materials Sales department continues to expand and grow its pipeline of prospective customers for ocean plastic. It is now building out a sales team to pitch other unique stories to major consumer packaged goods companies. On the internal side of our business, the team continues to find buyers for processing post-consumer waste faster than predicted/budgeted. This performance has produced savings in expected cost of revenues and reduces budgeted warehouse spend.

 

Regulated Waste Division

 

Our accounting system, SAP, has been implemented and used for all financial transactions in 2019, which has allowed for tightened financial and operational controls as well as improved reporting. This increased tracking and improved data will allow us to focus and align sales and marketing resources towards those activities, which yield the strongest results. In addition, work has begun and will be completed in 2019 to overhaul all current websites with the goal of improving overall customer experience and increasing efficiency of administrative processes.

 

Communications

 

TerraCycle’s PR team was named the Winner for Media Relations with an In-House Team by the International Public Relations Association’s Golden World Awards for Excellence in Public Relations. We were also recognized as the Media Relations Platinum Award Winner by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals’ Hermes Creative Awards, and we were named to the Inc. 5,000 list of fastest growing companies in America.

 

CEO Tom Szaky’s fourth book, “The Future of Packaging,” was published in February. The book includes chapters by fifteen industry leaders as co-authors.

Other Trend Information

 

Tax Sharing Agreement

 

  We have executed a “Tax Sharing Agreement” with our parent company. Under current US federal tax law, our parent company would consolidate the taxable income of any company in which it has at least 80% of voting power control and at least 80% of value. The Tax Sharing Agreement provides for our company to reimburse our parent company for any taxes we would have otherwise paid, but were reduced due to our parent company owning 80% or more of our company and thus, the filing of a consolidated tax return. In the event and as of such date as we sell more than 20% of our total shares to investors in our Regulation A offering, our taxable income would not be consolidated with the parent company and thus would be taxed in a separate federal filing by us.

 

  Unless and until we sell 20% of total shares to investors in our Regulation A offering, our taxable income will be consolidated with the taxable income of the parent company. If taxes are due, our parent company will make the tax payments on behalf of the consolidated group or utilize accumulated Net Operating Losses to reduce the parent company’s consolidated tax liability. Alternatively, if taxes are due, our parent company will make the tax payments on behalf of the consolidated group. The Tax Sharing Agreement will allow our parent company to charge the taxes on our taxable income to us, and we will reimburse our parent (in cash) for taxes it otherwise would have paid if our taxable income was not consolidated with the parent. Our federal tax for will be calculated on a separate company basis and any tax so calculated will be paid to the parent.

 

  Under current New Jersey tax law, there is no provision for consolidated filings of our taxable income with the parent; therefore, the Tax Sharing Agreement will not be applicable for New Jersey State taxes.

 

  Where other states do require a consolidated or combined filing, a similar separate company basis will be applied pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement.

 

General Market Trends

 

  We believe that the market for our products and services will continue to improve if economic conditions in the United States remain consistent or improve.

 

  Global efforts spearheaded by the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation have raised the public’s and corporations’ awareness to transition from a “linear disposable economy” to a “recycle circular economy”.

 

  More corporations are integrating sustainability programs into their operations and marketing initiatives.

 

  We believe that our current government’s denial of and inaction on climate change may fuel individual initiatives; the time may have come where consumers will assume responsibility for their outputs and waste, and help reduce their personal impact on our climate.

 

  We, therefore, anticipate increasing demand for our services in the United States.

1. Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 1-SA. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in TerraCycle US Inc.’s (“Company”) annual report on Form 1-A for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which establishes a core principle, achieved through a five-step process, that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The amendments in this update deferred the effective date for implementation by one year and is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Upon adoption, ASU No. 2014-09 can be applied either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is evaluating the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting ASU No. 2014-09 and has not yet determined the implementation method to be used.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840). The ASU will require that all leasing activity with initial terms in excess of twelve months be recognized on the balance sheet with a right of use asset and lease liability. The standard will require entities to classify leases as either a finance or operating lease based upon the contractual terms. For finance leases, the right to use asset and lease liability will be calculated based upon the present value of the lease payments. The asset will then be amortized and the interest on the obligation will be recognized separately within the statement of operations. For operating leases, the right to use asset and lease liability will also be calculated based upon the present value of the lease payments. However, the cost of the lease will generally be allocated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and presented as a single expense on the statement of operations. The new standard will be effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and will require entities to use a modified retrospective approach to the earliest period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting the new standard.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 to clarify whether the following items should be categorized as operating, investing or financing in the statement of cash flows: (i) debt prepayments and extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt, (iii) settlement of contingent consideration, (iv) insurance proceeds, (v) settlement of corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) and bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) policies, (vi) distributions from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (viii) receipts and payments with aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting the new standard.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This is fundamental in the determination of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This determination is important given the diverging accounting models used for each type of transaction. The guidance is generally expected to result in fewer transactions qualifying as business combinations. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting the new standard.
