MYERS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Myers Industries, Inc. and all wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2019, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will occur for the year ending December 31, 2019.
Accounting Standards Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which created Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842. Under ASU 2016-02, an entity recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet, and discloses key information about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method, which required application of the new guidance to only those leases that existed at the date of adoption. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients,” which permitted the Company to not reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected to apply the guidance at a portfolio level and use the discount rate corresponding to the remaining lease term at transition. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $5.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively, on January 1, 2019. The difference between the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related primarily to the removal of previously recorded accrued rent balances as a result of recording straight-line rent expense for certain leases. In addition, the adoption resulted in an adjustment to opening retained earnings (deficit) of approximately $0.9 million, net of tax, on January 1, 2019. This cumulative-effect transition adjustment to opening retained earnings (deficit) related to the recognition of the remaining deferred gain on the sale-leaseback transaction that occurred in 2018. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations or cash flows.
The following tables summarize the impacts of ASC 842 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements:

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and this ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20). This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its 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. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Certain disclosures in this ASU are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. The ASU is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The guidance allows for early adoption for impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements unless a goodwill impairment were to occur.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company follows guidance included in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for its financial assets and liabilities, as required. Under ASC 820, the hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three levels:
|
Level 1: |
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
Level 2: |
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. |
|
Level 3: |
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data or which reflect the entity’s own assumptions. |
Financial assets that are measured at net asset value, which is a practical expedient to estimating fair value, are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company has financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value due to the nature and relative short maturity of these assets and liabilities.
The fair value of debt under the Company’s Loan Agreement, as defined in Note 12, approximates carrying value due to the floating rates and relative short maturity (less than 90 days) of the revolving borrowings under this agreement. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated using market observable inputs for the Company’s comparable peers with public debt, including quoted prices in active markets and interest rate measurements which are considered Level 2 inputs. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate fair value of the Company's outstanding fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated at $77.8 million and $76.8 million, respectively.

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied. In both the Distribution and Material Handling segments, this generally occurs with the transfer of control of the Company’s products. This transfer of control may occur at either the time of shipment from a Company facility, or at the time of delivery to a designated customer location. Obligations under contracts with customers are typically fulfilled within 90 days of receiving a purchase order from a customer, and generally no other future obligations are required to be performed. The Company does not enter into any long-term contracts with customers greater than one year. Based on the nature of the Company’s products and customer contracts, the Company has not recorded any deferred revenue, with the exception of cash advances or deposits received from customers prior to transfer of control of the product. These advances are typically fulfilled within the 90 day time frame mentioned above.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the products. Certain contracts with customers include variable consideration, such as rebates or discounts. The Company recognizes estimates of this variable consideration each period, primarily based on the most likely level of consideration to be paid to the customer under the specific terms of the underlying programs. While the Company’s contracts with customers do not generally include explicit rights to return product, the Company will in practice allow returns in the normal course of business and as part of the customer relationship. Thus, the Company estimates the expected returns each period based on an analysis of historical experience. For certain businesses where physical recovery of the product from returns occurs, the Company records an estimated right to return asset from such recovery, based on the approximate cost of the product.
Amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (Unaudited) related to revenue recognition include:

Sales, value added, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue from customers are excluded from net sales. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for shipments to customers when control over products has transferred to the customer. Costs for shipments to customers are classified as Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the Company’s manufacturing business and as Cost of Sales for the Company’s distribution business in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). The Company incurred costs for shipments to customers of approximately $2.2 million and $2.7 million in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1.5 million and $1.3 million in Cost of Sales for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. All other internal distribution costs are recorded in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Based on the short term nature of contracts described above, the Company does not incur significant contract acquisition costs. These costs, as well as other incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract, are recognized as expense as incurred.

As part of its ongoing strategy, the Company continues to evaluate its various real estate holdings. As a result of these initiatives, certain buildings were reclassified as held for sale in 2018 and 2019. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had classified $2.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively, of buildings as held for sale, in Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited). During the first quarter of 2019, the Company sold a building previously held for sale for net proceeds of $4.5 million. This building was included in the Company’s Material Handling Segment.
4. Disposal of Businesses
On December 18, 2017, the Company, collectively with its wholly owned subsidiary, Myers Holdings Brasil, Ltda. (“Holdings”), completed the sale of its subsidiaries, Myers do Brasil Embalagens Plasticas Ltda. and Plasticos Novel do Nordeste Ltda. (collectively, the “Brazil Business”), to Novel Holdings – Eireli (“Buyer”), an entity controlled by a member of the Brazil Business’ management team. The Brazil Business was part of the Material Handling Segment.
The Company has agreed to be the guarantor under a factoring arrangement between the Buyer and Banco Alfa de Investimento S.A. until December 31, 2019 for up to $7 million, in the event the Buyer is unable to meet its obligations under this arrangement. The Company also holds a first lien against certain machinery and equipment, exercisable only upon default by the Buyer under the guaranty. Based on the nature of the guaranty, as well as the existence of the lien, the Company believes the fair value of the guaranty is immaterial (based primarily on Level 3 inputs), and thus has recorded no liability related to this guaranty in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited). This guaranty also creates a variable interest to the Company in the Brazil Business. Based on the terms of the transaction and the fact that the Company has no management involvement or voting interests in the Brazil Business following the sale, the Company does not have any power to direct the significant activities of the Brazil Business, and is thus not the primary beneficiary.
On February 17, 2015, the Company sold its Lawn and Garden business to an entity controlled by Wingate Partners V, L.P. (“L&G Buyer”). The terms of the sale included promissory notes totaling $20 million that were originally set to mature in August 2020 with a 6% interest rate. During the third quarter of 2018, management of the Lawn and Garden business, now named HC Companies, Inc. (“HC”), requested an extension to the maturity of the notes as part of an effort to restructure their debt. The Company believes there is uncertainty about the ability to collect on the notes and corresponding accrued interest, and as a result, the Company recorded a provision for expected loss of $23.0 million within continuing operations during the third quarter of 2018. The Company ceased recognizing interest income as of September 30, 2018 following the recognition of the provision. In April 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with HC to amend and restate the notes (“Amended and Restated Notes”). The Amended and Restated Notes maintain the amounts due under the original terms of the notes, including interest, and extend the maturity to August 2022. The agreement to amend and restate the notes did not change management’s assessment of the uncertainty to collect on the notes.
In addition, approximately $8.6 million of the purchase price related to the Lawn and Garden sale was placed in escrow that was due to be settled by August 2016. The release of these funds had been extended pending the resolution of indemnification claims, as further described in Note 11. In April 2018, the Company reached agreement on the material terms of a settlement, and, as a result, recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.225 million to discontinued operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The settlement was finalized and paid in May 2018, and upon settlement and release of any further obligation on behalf of the Company, the remaining $7.4 million was released from escrow to the Company.
In connection with the financial risk described above with HC, the Company further assessed its potential obligations under a lease guarantee granted as part of the sale of the Lawn and Garden business. Refer to Note 11 for further information with regards to this guarantee.

Net cash flows provided by discontinued operations in 2019 resulted from the remaining receipt of the tax benefit from a worthless stock deduction, which was recognized as part of the sale of the Brazil Business. Net cash flows used for discontinued operations in 2018 resulted from the payment of expenses related to the sale of the Brazil Business.
5. Restructuring
On March 20, 2019, the Company committed to implementing a restructuring plan involving its Ameri-Kart Corp. subsidiary (“Ameri-Kart”) that operates within the Company’s Material Handling Segment. The Company plans to consolidate manufacturing operations currently conducted at Ameri-Kart’s Cassopolis, Michigan facility with expanded operations at Ameri-Kart’s Bristol, Indiana facility, and eliminate up to 30 positions in connection with the consolidation (the “Ameri-Kart Plan”). Total restructuring costs expected to be incurred are approximately $0.9 million, which include employee severance and other employee-related costs of approximately $0.2 million, equipment relocation and facility shut down costs of approximately $0.6 million and non-cash charges, primarily accelerated depreciation charges on property, plant and equipment, of approximately $0.1 million. No costs were incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 related to the Ameri-Kart Plan. The Ameri-Kart Plan is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2019.
On March 18, 2019, the Company committed to implementing a restructuring plan relating to transformation initiatives within the Company’s Distribution Segment (the “Distribution Transformation Plan”) that are intended to increase sales force effectiveness, reduce costs and improve contribution margins. The Company plans to realign its Distribution Segment’s commercial sales structure, which includes the elimination of certain sales and administrative positions, as well as expand its e-commerce platform. Total restructuring costs expected to be incurred are approximately $0.9 million, primarily related to employee severance and other employee-related costs. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $0.9 million and does not expect to incur any additional restructuring charges in connection with the Distribution Transformation Plan. The Distribution Transformation Plan is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2019.
On March 9, 2017, the Company announced a restructuring plan to improve the Company’s organizational structure and operational efficiency within the Material Handling Segment (the “Material Handling Plan”), which related primarily to anticipated facility shutdowns and associated activities. Total restructuring costs incurred related to the Material Handling Plan were approximately $7.7 million, which includes employee severance and other employee-related costs of approximately $3.1 million, $2.6 million related to equipment relocation and facility shut down costs and non-cash charges, primarily accelerated depreciation charges on property, plant and equipment, of approximately $2.0 million. All actions under the Material Handling Plan are completed. The Company incurred $0.1 million of restructuring charges associated with the Material Handling Plan during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. No costs were incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company reclassified a facility that was closed in connection with the Material Handling Plan as held for sale as discussed in Note 3. Based on the estimated fair value of this facility (using primarily a third party offer considered to be a Level 2 input), less estimated costs to sell, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $0.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
In addition to the restructuring charges noted above, the Company has also incurred $0.1 million of other associated costs of the Distribution Transformation Plan during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, which are included in Selling, General, and Administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited), and are primarily related to third party consulting costs. Additional estimated costs of $0.2 million and $0.9 million are expected to be incurred throughout the remainder of 2019 related to the Ameri-Kart Plan and the Distribution Transformation Plan, respectively.
6. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market for last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory and lower of cost or net realizable value for first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory. Approximately 30 percent of inventories are valued using the LIFO method of determining cost. All other inventories are valued at the FIFO method of determining cost. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these calculations are subject to many factors beyond management’s control, annual results may differ from interim results as they are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. Based on management’s projections of inventory levels and costs, no adjustment to the LIFO reserve was recorded for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

Intangible assets other than goodwill primarily consist of trade names, customer relationships, patents and technology assets established in connection with acquisitions. These intangible assets, other than certain trade names, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company has indefinite-lived trade names which had a carrying value of $9.8 million at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
9. Net Income per Common Share
Net income per common share, as shown on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited), is determined on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods as follows:

Options to purchase 655,086 shares of common stock that were outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, and 366,772 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of common shares, and were therefore anti-dilutive.
10. Stock Compensation
The Company’s Amended and Restated 2017 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2017 Plan”) authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to issue up to 5,126,950 shares of various stock awards including stock options, performance stock units, restricted stock units and other forms of equity-based awards to key employees and directors. Options granted and outstanding vest over the requisite service period and expire ten years from the date of grant.
In March 2019, the Company granted 235,474 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $18.54 per share and a weighted average fair value of $5.78 per share. The fair value of options granted is estimated using a binomial lattice option pricing model. Also in March 2019, the Company granted 77,810 and 101,500 time-based and performance-based restricted stock units, respectively, with a weighted average fair value of $18.54 per share.
Stock compensation expense was approximately $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These expenses are included in Selling, General and Administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements at March 31, 2019 was approximately $8.2 million, which will be recognized over the next three years, as such compensation is earned.
11. Contingencies
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and a party to various other legal proceedings, in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. When a loss arising from these matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, we record the amount of the estimated loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range, and no point within the range is more probable of occurrence than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters will be assessed and the estimates will be revised, if necessary.
Based on current available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, including those described below, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or overall trends in our results of operations. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the financial position and results of operations of the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods.
New Idria Mercury Mine
In September 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) informed a subsidiary of the Company, Buckhorn, Inc. (“Buckhorn”) via a notice letter and related documents (the “Notice Letter”) that it considers Buckhorn to be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) in connection with the New Idria Mercury Mine site (“New Idria Mine”). New Idria Mining & Chemical Company (“NIMCC”), which owned and/or operated the New Idria Mine through 1976, was merged into Buckhorn Metal Products Inc. in 1981, which was subsequently acquired by Myers Industries in 1987. As a result of the EPA Notice Letter, Buckhorn and the Company engaged in negotiations with the EPA with respect to a draft Administrative Order of Consent (“AOC”) proposed by the EPA for the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) to determine the extent of remediation necessary and the screening of alternatives.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company and the EPA finalized the AOC and related Statement of Work (“SOW”) with regards to the New Idria Mine. The AOC is effective as of November 27, 2018, the date that it was executed by the EPA. The AOC and accompanying SOW document the terms, conditions and procedures for the Company’s performance of the RI/FS. In addition, the AOC requires the Company to provide $2 million of financial assurance to the EPA to secure its performance during the estimated three year life of the RI/FS. In January 2019, the Company provided this assurance as a letter of credit. The AOC also includes provisions for payment by the Company of the EPA’s costs of oversight of the RI/FS, including a prepayment in the amount of $0.2 million, which was paid in January 2019.
14
MYERS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
Since October 2011, when New Idria was added to the Superfund National Priorities List by the EPA, the Company has recognized $5.9 million of costs, of which approximately $2.9 million has been paid to date. These costs are comprised primarily of negotiation of the AOC, identification of possible insurance resources and other PRPs, estimates to perform the RI/FS, EPA oversight fees, past cost claims made by the EPA, periodic monitoring, and responses to unilateral administrative orders issued by the EPA. No expenses were recorded related to the New Idria Mine in the quarters ended March 31, 2019 or 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has a total reserve of $3.0 million related to the New Idria Mine, of which $0.5 million is classified in Other Current Liabilities and $2.5 million in Other Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited).
It is possible that adjustments to the aforementioned reserves will be necessary as new information is obtained, including after preparation and EPA approval of the work plan for the RI/FS, which is anticipated to occur in the second quarter of 2019. Estimates of the Company’s liability are based on current facts, laws, regulations and technology. Estimates of the Company’s environmental liabilities are further subject to uncertainties regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation standards, imprecise engineering evaluation and cost estimates, the extent of remedial actions that may be required, the extent of oversight by the EPA, the number and financial condition of other PRPs that may be named as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation, and the availability of insurance coverage for these expenses.
At this time, we have not accrued for remediation costs in connection with this site as we are unable to estimate the liability, given the circumstances referred to above, including the fact that the final remediation strategy has not yet been determined.
New Almaden Mine
A number of parties, including the Company and its subsidiary, Buckhorn (as successor to NIMCC), were alleged by trustee agencies of the United States and the State of California to be responsible for natural resource damages due to environmental contamination of areas comprising the historical New Almaden mercury mines located in the Guadalupe River Watershed region in Santa Clara County, California (“County”). In 2005, Buckhorn and the Company, without admitting liability or chain of ownership of NIMCC, resolved the trustees’ claim against them through a consent decree that required them to contribute financially to the implementation by the County of an environmentally beneficial project within the impacted area. Buckhorn and the Company negotiated an agreement with the County, whereby Buckhorn and the Company agreed to reimburse one-half of the County’s costs of implementing the project, originally estimated to be approximately $1.6 million. As a result, in 2005, the Company recognized expense of $0.8 million representing its share of the initial estimated project costs, of which approximately $0.5 million has been paid to date. In April 2016, the Company was notified by the County that the original cost estimate may no longer be appropriate due to expanded scope and increased costs of construction and provided a revised estimate of between $3.3 million and $4.4 million. The Company completed a detailed review of the support provided by the County for the revised estimate, and as a result, recognized additional expense of $1.2 million in 2016. No costs were incurred related to New Almaden in the quarters ended March 31, 2019 or 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has a total reserve of $1.5 million related to the New Almaden Mine, of which $0.3 million is classified in Other Current Liabilities and $1.2 million in Other Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited).
The project has not yet been implemented though significant work on design and planning has been performed. The Company is currently awaiting notice from Santa Clara County on the expected timing of fieldwork to commence. As work on the project occurs, it is possible that adjustments to the aforementioned reserves will be necessary to reflect new information. In addition, the Company may have claims against and defenses to claims by the County under the 2005 agreement that could reduce or offset its obligation for reimbursement of some of these potential additional costs. With the assistance of environmental consultants, the Company will closely monitor this matter and will continue to assess its reserves as additional information becomes available.
Lawn and Garden Indemnification Claim
In connection with the sale of the Lawn and Garden business, as described in Note 4, the Company received Notices of Indemnification Claims in April 2015 and July 2016 (collectively, the “Claims”), alleging breaches of certain representations and warranties under the agreement resulting in alleged losses in the amount of approximately $10 million. As described in Note 4, approximately $8.6 million of the sale proceeds that were placed in escrow were due to be settled in August 2016; however, the release of these funds had been extended pending the resolution of the Claims, which were the subject of a lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court.
In April 2018, the Company reached agreement on the material terms of a settlement, and as a result, recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.225 million to discontinued operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The settlement agreement was finalized in May 2018, and the settlement amount was funded from the escrow account. In addition, upon settlement and release of any further obligation on behalf of the Company, the remaining $7.4 million was released from escrow to the Company in the second quarter of 2018.

Lawn and Garden Lease Guarantee
In connection with the sale of the Lawn and Garden business, as described in Note 4, the Company is a guarantor for one of HC’s facility leases expiring in September 2025 for any remaining rent payments under the lease for which HC is unable to meet its obligations. Current annual rent for the facility is approximately $2 million, and is subject to annual CPI increases throughout the lease term. In connection with the financial risk associated with HC, as described in Note 4, the Company assessed its range of potential obligations under the lease guarantee, and as a result of this analysis, recorded a liability and related pre-tax charge of $10.3 million during the third quarter of 2018. The carrying value of the lease contingency as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $10.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively, which represents the initial liability recorded plus accretion and is included in Other Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited).
Patent Infringement
On December 11, 2018, No Spill Inc. filed suit against Scepter Manufacturing LLC and Scepter Corporation (“Scepter”) in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas asserting infringement of two patents, breach of contract, and trade dress claims in relation to plastic gasoline containers Scepter manufactures and sells in the United States. A schedule in the case has not yet issued. Scepter intends to defend itself vigorously in this matter. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, and is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of the litigation will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. Accordingly, the Company has not currently recorded any reserves for this matter.

In March 2017, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement replaced the pre-existing $300 million senior revolving credit facility with a $200 million facility and extended the term from December 2018 to March 2022. The Company also holds Senior Unsecured Notes (“Notes”), which range in face value from $11 million to $40 million, with interest rates ranging from 4.67% to 5.45%, payable semiannually, and maturing between 2021 and 2026. At March 31, 2019, $78 million of the Notes were outstanding.
Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company may borrow up to $200 million, reduced for letters of credit issued. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $194.0 million available under the Loan Agreement. The Company had $6.0 million of letters of credit issued related to insurance and other contracts requiring financial assurance in the ordinary course of business at March 31, 2019. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate, prime rate, federal funds effective rate, the Canadian deposit offered rate, or the euro currency reference rate depending on the type of loan requested by the Company, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s long-term debt was 6.23% and 5.22% for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which includes a quarterly facility fee on the used and unused portion, as well as amortization of deferred financing costs.

(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants associated with its Loan Agreement and Notes. The most restrictive financial covenants for all of the Company’s debt are an interest coverage ratio (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, divided by interest expense) and a leverage ratio (defined as total debt divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted).
13. Retirement Plans
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have pension and profit sharing plans covering substantially all of their employees. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan, The Pension Agreement between Akro-Mils and United Steelworkers of America Local No. 1761-02, provides benefits primarily based upon a fixed amount for each year of service. The plan was frozen in 2007, and thus benefits for service were no longer accumulated after this date.
Net periodic pension cost is as follows:

14. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to 25.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The effective income tax rate for both periods was different than the Company’s statutory rate, primarily due to state taxes and non-deductible expenses.
The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate was $1.0 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
The Company and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal, state and local, and non-U.S. income tax returns. As of March 31, 2019, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal examination by tax authorities for tax years before 2015. The Company received notice in April 2019 from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) of its intent to audit the Company’s 2017 U.S. Federal tax return. The Company is subject to state and local examinations for tax years of 2013 through 2018. In addition, the Company is subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations for tax years of 2013 through 2018.
15. Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has leases for distribution centers, warehouses, office space and equipment, with remaining lease terms of one to nine years. Certain of these leases include options to extend the lease for up to five years, and some include options to terminate the lease early. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases are included in right of use asset – operating leases (“ROU assets”), operating lease liability –short term, and operating lease liability – long term in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (Unaudited).
The ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is then applied at the portfolio level, based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The Company has also elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

On February 27, 2018, the Company completed a sale-leaseback transaction for its distribution center in Pomona, California for a net purchase price of $2.3 million. The Company realized a gain on the sale of $2.0 million, of which $0.7 million was recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The remaining $1.3 million was recognized ratably over the term of the ten-year lease at approximately $0.1 million per year, until January 1, 2019 upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02 as discussed in Note 1. Simultaneous with closing the sale, the Company entered into a ten-year operating lease arrangement with base annual rent of approximately $0.1 million during the first year, followed by annual increases of 3% through the remainder of the lease period. This facility is included in the Company’s Distribution Segment.
16. Industry Segments
Using the criteria of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company manages its business under two operating segments, Material Handling and Distribution, consistent with the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates performance and makes resource allocation decisions. None of the reportable segments include operating segments that have been aggregated. These segments contain individual business components that have been combined on the basis of common management, customers, products, production processes and other economic characteristics. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost plus a specified mark-up.
The Material Handling Segment manufactures a broad selection of plastic reusable containers, pallets, small parts bins, bulk shipping containers, storage and organization products and rotationally-molded plastic tanks for water, fuel and waste handling. This segment conducts its primary operations in the United States and Canada. Markets served encompass various niches of industrial manufacturing, food processing, retail/wholesale products distribution, agriculture, automotive, recreational vehicles, marine vehicles, healthcare, appliance, bakery, electronics, textiles, consumer, and others. Products are sold both directly to end-users and through distributors.
The Distribution Segment is engaged in the distribution of equipment, tools, and supplies used for tire servicing and automotive undervehicle repair and the manufacture of tire repair and retreading products. The product line includes categories such as tire valves and accessories, tire changing and balancing equipment, lifts and alignment equipment, service equipment and tools, and tire repair/retread supplies. The Distribution Segment operates domestically through sales offices and four regional distribution centers in the United States, and in certain foreign countries through export sales. In addition, the Distribution Segment operates directly in certain foreign markets, principally Central America, through foreign branch operations. Markets served include retail and truck tire dealers, commercial auto and truck fleets, auto dealers, general service and repair centers, tire retreaders, and government agencies.
Total sales from foreign business units were approximately $12.8 million and $11.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated by reference contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including information regarding the Company’s financial outlook, future plans, objectives, business prospects and anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” or variations of these words, or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, these statements inherently involve a wide range of inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. The Company’s actual actions, results, and financial condition may differ materially from what is expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Specific factors that could cause such a difference include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation, the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Given these factors, as well as other variables that may affect our operating results, readers should not rely on forward-looking statements, assume that past financial performance will be a reliable indicator of future performance, nor use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date thereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or intention to provide updates to the forward-looking statements and the estimates and assumptions associated with them.
Executive Overview

The Brazil Business, which was sold in December 2017, and the Lawn and Garden business, which was sold in February 2015, are classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented.
The Company designs, manufactures, and markets a variety of plastic and rubber products. The Material Handling Segment manufactures products that range from plastic reusable material handling containers and small parts storage bins to plastic OEM parts, custom plastic products, consumer fuel containers, military water containers as well as ammunition packaging and shipping containers. The Distribution Segment is engaged in the distribution of tools, equipment and supplies used for tire, wheel and under vehicle service on passenger, heavy truck and off-road vehicles, as well as the manufacturing of tire repair and retreading products

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 were $139.1 million, a decrease of $13.5 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Net sales were negatively impacted by lower sales volume of $14.9 million and the effect of unfavorable currency translation of $0.6 million, and were partially offset by higher pricing of approximately $2.0 million.
Net sales in the Material Handling Segment decreased $13.9 million or 12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in net sales was due to lower sales volume of $15.1 million and the effect of unfavorable foreign currency translation of $0.6 million, partially offset by higher pricing of $1.8 million. The lower sales volume was primarily due to declines in the food and beverage market and the vehicle market (mainly in the recreational vehicle market).
Net sales in the Distribution Segment increased $0.4 million or 1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018, primarily the result of higher sales volume of $0.2 million and higher pricing of $0.2 million.

Gross profit margin increased to 32.7% in the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to 30.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to higher pricing of $2.0 million, lower raw material costs and productivity improvements. This was partially offset by unfavorable mix within the lower sales volumes noted above.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 were $34.5 million, a decrease of $1.0 million or 3% compared to the same period in the prior year. SG&A expenses in the first quarter 2019 were impacted by lower variable compensation and benefit costs of $0.8 million, lower legal and professional fees of $0.7 million and lower freight costs of $0.5 million. This was partially offset by restructuring costs of $0.9 million incurred in the current year related to the Distribution Transformation Plan.
Restructuring:
As discussed in Note 5, the Company has implemented various restructuring programs.
The Ameri-Kart Plan was announced during the first quarter of 2019 and is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2019. No costs were incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 related to the Ameri-Kart Plan. As previously announced, the Company expects annualized benefits of approximately $1.5 million after 2019.
The Distribution Transformation Plan was announced during the first quarter of 2019 and is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2019. The Company incurred $0.9 million of restructuring costs in connection with the Distribution Transformation Plan during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. As previously announced, the Company expects annualized benefits of $5 to $7 million after 2019.
The Material Handling Plan was initiated in the first quarter of 2017 and is completed. No costs were incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to $0.1 million of restructuring costs incurred in connection with the Material Handling Plan during the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
(Gain) Loss on Disposal of Fixed Assets:
The gains on disposal of fixed assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 were $0.4 million and were primarily due to the sale and leaseback of the distribution center in Pomona, California, as discussed in Note 15.
Impairment Charges:
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $0.9 million related to a facility that was previously closed in connection with the Material Handling Plan and reclassified as held for sale during the first quarter of 2019, as discussed in Note 5.

Net interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was $1.0 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 38%, compared with $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The lower interest expense was due primarily to the lower average outstanding borrowings for the period. The lower borrowings were driven by cash flow from operations and the proceeds generated by the public equity offering completed in the second quarter of 2018.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to 25.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The effective tax rate was slightly higher in 2019, primarily due to higher estimates of state taxes and non-deductible expenses.
Discontinued Operations:
Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes was $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to loss of $0.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The loss in 2018 related to a charge of $0.9 million, net of tax of $0.3 million, as a result of agreement on the material terms of a settlement with the L&G Buyer related to the indemnification claims further discussed in Note 11.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from its operating and financing activities. The cash flows from operating activities are driven primarily by its operating results and changes in its working capital requirements which is supplemented by the Company’s utilization of its current credit facilities. In addition, the Company completed a public equity offering in the second quarter of 2018 that generated $79.5 million of net proceeds. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds received from the offering to repay a portion of its outstanding indebtedness during the second quarter of 2018 and intends to use the remaining proceeds to fund the growth of the business, including selective acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes.
The Company believes that cash flows from operations and available borrowing under its Loan Agreement will be sufficient to meet expected business requirements including capital expenditures, dividends, working capital, debt service, and to fund future growth.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $5.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $12.8 million in the same period in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to changes in working capital of $8.0 million, which was primarily driven by a higher variable compensation payout and lower accounts payable in 2019.
Net cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations was $7.3 million in 2019 and resulted from the remaining receipt of the tax benefit from the worthless stock deduction related to the Brazil Business (see Note 4). Net cash flows used for discontinued operations in 2018 resulted from the payment of expenses related to the sale of the Brazil Business.
23
Net cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations was $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to cash provided of $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Capital expenditures were $2.9 million and $1.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Full year capital expenditures in 2019 are expected to be approximately $10 million. The Company received proceeds of $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 from the sale of fixed assets, substantially all of which was derived from the sale of a building previously classified as held for sale, as discussed in Note 3. The Company received proceeds of $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2018 from the sale of fixed assets, which were primarily due to the sale and leaseback of the distribution center in Pomona, California, as discussed in Note 15.
Financing Activities
Net payments on the credit facility were $6.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. There were no net payments on the credit facility for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The Company used cash to pay dividends of $4.9 million and $4.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Credit Sources
In March 2017, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement replaced the pre-existing $300 million senior revolving credit facility with a $200 million facility and extended the term from December 2018 to March 2022. The Company also holds Senior Unsecured Notes (“Notes”), which range in face value from $11 million to $40 million, with interest rates ranging from 4.67% to 5.45%, payable semiannually, and maturing between 2021 and 2026. At March 31, 2019, $78 million of the Notes were outstanding.
Total debt outstanding at March 31, 2019 was $76.9 million, net of $1.1 million of deferred financing costs, compared with $76.8 million at December 31, 2018. The Company’s Loan Agreement provides available borrowing up to $200 million, reduced for letters of credit issued. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $6.0 million of letters of credit issued related to insurance and other contracts requiring financial assurance in the ordinary course of business and there was $194.0 million available under our Loan Agreement.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all its debt covenants. The most restrictive financial covenants for all of the Company’s debt are an interest coverage ratio (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, divided by interest expense) and a leverage ratio (defined as total debt divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted). The ratios as of and for the period ended March 31, 2019 are shown in the following table:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonable to have, a current or future effect on financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has certain financing arrangements that require interest payments based on floating interest rates. The Company’s financial results are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. At present, the Company has not entered into any interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments to fix the interest rate on any portion of its financing arrangements with floating rates. As of March 31, 2019, the Company currently has no borrowings outstanding under its floating rate debt.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Some of the Company’s subsidiaries operate in foreign countries and their financial results are subject to exchange rate movements. The Company has operations in Canada with foreign currency exposure, primarily due to sales made from businesses in Canada to customers in the United States (“U.S.”). These sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has a systematic program to limit its exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates related to certain assets and liabilities of its operations in Canada that are denominated in U.S. dollars. The net exposure generally ranges from $1 million to $3 million. The foreign currency contracts and arrangements created under this program are not designated as hedged items under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the foreign currency arrangements, which have been immaterial, are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). The Company’s foreign currency arrangements are typically three months or less and are settled before the end of a reporting period. At March 31, 2019, the Company had no foreign currency arrangements or contracts in place.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company uses certain commodities, primarily plastic resins, in its manufacturing processes. The cost of operations can be affected as the market for these commodities changes. The Company currently has no derivative contracts to hedge this risk; however, the Company also has no significant purchase obligations to purchase fixed quantities of such commodities in future periods. Significant future increases in the cost of plastic resin or other adverse changes in the general economic environment could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
25
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company carries out a variety of on-going procedures, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
26
Certain legal proceedings in which the Company is involved are discussed in Note 11, Contingencies, in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this report and Part I, Item 3 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s disclosure relating to legal proceedings in Note 11, Contingencies, in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this report is incorporated into Part II of this report by reference. The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and a party to various other legal proceedings, in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. We believe that the outcome of these lawsuits and other proceedings will not individually or in the aggregate have a future material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore adopted the 2017 Incentive Stock Plan of Myers Industries, Inc., as amended and restated (the “Plan”); and
WHEREAS, it is a requirement of the Plan that an Option Agreement be executed to evidence the Non-Qualified Stock Option granted to the Employee.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto have agreed, and do hereby agree, as follows:
1.Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Employee the right and option (hereinafter called the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of ________ shares of the common stock, no par value, of the Company (“Shares”) (such number being subject to adjustment as set forth herein and in the Plan) on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.
2.Type of Option. The Option granted under this Option Agreement is a non-qualified stock option and shall not be treated by the Company or the Employee as an incentive stock option for federal income tax purposes.

4.Term of Option. The term of the Option shall be for a period of ten (10) years from the date hereof, subject to earlier termination as provided in the Plan or this Agreement.
5.Exercise of Option.

(i)At any time after the first anniversary of the date of this Option Agreement, the Option may be exercised as to not more than one third (1/3) of Shares originally subject to this Option;
(ii)At any time after the second anniversary of the date of this Option Agreement, the Option may be exercised as to not more than an aggregate of two thirds (2/3) of the Shares originally subject to this Option; and
(iii)At any time after the third anniversary of the date of this Option Agreement, the Option may be exercised as to all or any part of the Shares originally subject to this Option.
(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the Employee’s death, Disability or retirement on or after the Employee’s sixty-fifth birthday, the Option shall become exercisable in full as of the date of such termination.
(v)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if (x) the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is completely terminated by the Company for any reason other than Cause or by the Employee for Good Reason, in either case, following a Change in Control, the Option shall become exercisable in full immediately prior to such termination of employment or (y) the Option is terminated in connection with a Change in Control and not assumed or replaced with a substituted option or other right having a substantially equivalent value and substantially equivalent or better terms and conditions, then the Option shall become exercisable in full prior to such termination as provided in the Plan.
(b)In order to exercise the Option, the person or persons entitled to exercise it shall deliver to the Company written notice of the number of full Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised. Such notice shall be delivered to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer or such other person as the Committee may designate. Unless (i) the Company, in its discretion, establishes “cashless exercise” procedures pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Plan, and (ii) the Committee, in its discretion, permits the person or persons entitled to exercise the Option to utilize such “cashless exercise” procedures, the notice shall be accompanied by payment in full for any Shares being purchased, which payment shall be in cash, in Shares that have been held free and clear of all liens and encumbrances for at least six (6) months valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, or by a combination of cash and Shares.
(c)No Shares shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made, and the Employee shall have none of the rights of a shareholder in respect of such Shares until full payment therefor has been made.
6.Nontransferability. The Option shall not be transferable, other than: (a) by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and the Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the holder of the Option, only by him, or in the event of death, his Successor, or in the event of disability, his personal representative, or (b) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in the Code or ERISA or the rules thereunder.
7.Termination of Employment. In the event of the complete termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason other than cause, death, Disability or retirement on or after the Employee’s sixty-fifth (65th) birthday (the date of such termination of employment, the “Termination Date”), then (a) the Option may be exercised by the Employee (to the extent that he shall have been entitled to do so as of the Termination Date) at any time within three (3) months after the Termination Date, but not beyond the original term thereof, (b) the portion of the Option that has not vested (i.e., that is not then exercisable, taking into account Section 5.1(a)(v)) as of the Termination Date shall automatically terminate as of the Termination Date, and (c) the vested portion of the Option shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of the three (3) month period described above to the extent not theretofore exercised. So long as the Employee shall continue to be an employee of the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries, the Option shall not be affected by any change of duties or position. Nothing in this Option Agreement shall confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any such Subsidiary to terminate his employment at any time. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of the complete termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for cause, the Option, to the extent not theretofore exercised, shall automatically terminate as of the date of the Employee’s complete termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for cause.
8.Death or Disability of Employee. If the Employee shall die while he shall be employed by the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries, or within the period described in Section 7(a) above after the complete termination of his employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries other than for Cause if by the Company, or if the employment of the Employee shall terminate on account of his Disability, then (a) the Option may be exercised by the Employee’s Successor or personal representative, as the case may be, at any time within one (1) year after the date of the Employee’s death or Disability, but not beyond the term of the Option, and (b) the Option shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of the one (1) year period described above to the extent not theretofore exercised. For purposes of this Option Agreement, “Disability” shall mean permanent and total disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.
2
9.Retirement of Employee. If the employment of the Employee with the Company and its Subsidiaries shall terminate as a result of his retirement on or after his sixty-fifth (65th) birthday, then the Option may be exercised in full by the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s subsequent death, the Employee’s Successor) at any time during the remaining term of the Option.
10.Taxes. The Company shall have the right to require a person entitled to receive Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Option to pay the Company the amount of any taxes which the Company is or will be required to withhold with respect to such Shares before the certificate for such Shares is delivered pursuant to the Option.

Any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of any fractional share which might otherwise be subject to the Option.
12.Delivery of Shares on Exercise. Delivery of certificates for Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Option may be postponed by the Company for such period as may be required for it, with reasonable diligence, to comply with any applicable requirements of any federal, state or local law or regulation or any administrative or quasi-administrative requirement applicable to the sale, issuance, distribution or delivery of such Shares. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, require the holder of the Option to furnish the Company with appropriate representations and a written investment letter prior to the exercise of the Option or the delivery of any Shares pursuant to the Option.

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore adopted the 2017 Incentive Stock Plan of Myers Industries, Inc., as amended and restated (the “Plan”); and
WHEREAS, it is a requirement of the Plan that a Stock Unit Award Agreement be executed to evidence the Stock Units awarded to the Employee.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto have agreed, and do hereby agree as follows:
1.Grant of Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to the Employee an Award of ________ Stock Units on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan. Each Stock Unit represents the right of the Employee to receive an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date that payment is made with respect to the Stock Unit.
2.Rights with Respect to Stock Units. The Stock Units granted pursuant to this Agreement represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, and the Employee shall have no rights with respect to the Stock Units other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Prior to the issuance of Shares as payment with respect to the Stock Units, the Employee shall have no rights of ownership in or to the Shares underlying the Stock Units and shall not be deemed the beneficial owner of such Shares.
3.Restrictions on and Vesting of the Stock Units.
(a)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, none of the Stock Units may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of; provided, however, the right to receive payment with respect to the Stock Units may be transferred upon the death of the Employee to the Employee’s Successor.
(b)The Stock Units subject to this Agreement shall vest in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of this Agreement (each such anniversary, a “Vesting Date”) or, if earlier, upon the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries by reason of his death, disability or retirement on or after his sixty-fifth birthday or the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries without Cause if by the Company or for Good Reason if by the Employee, in either case following a Change in Control of the Company (an “Acceleration Event”).
(c)In the event of the complete termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason other than (i) by reason of the Employee’s death, disability or retirement on or after the Employee’s sixty-fifth birthday prior to the earlier of the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (ii) by the Company without Cause or by the Employee for Good Reason, in either case following a Change in Control of the Company, the Stock Units that have not vested as of the date of such termination shall be immediately and automatically forfeited to the Company without notice for no consideration.
(d)For purposes of this Agreement, “disability” shall mean a physical or mental incapacity that prevents the Employee from performing his duties for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days.
2
4.Payment and Issuance of Shares. On each Vesting Date or, if earlier, upon an Acceleration Event (each such Vesting Date or Acceleration Event, a “Payment Date”), or within thirty (30) days thereafter in the case of an Acceleration Event or by March 15 of the year in which such Vesting Date occurs, the Company shall make a payment to the Employee of one Share for every Stock Unit that became vested as of such Payment Date (and with respect to which a payment has not previously been made pursuant to this Section 4) as payment with respect to each such vested Stock Unit. If any dividends are declared on the Company’s Shares while the Stock Units subject to this Agreement are outstanding, the Company shall make a payment to the Employee on each Payment Date, or within thirty (30) days thereafter in the case of an Acceleration Event or by March 15 of the year in which such Vesting Date occurs, with respect to each Stock Unit that became vested as of such Payment Date, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of dividends that would have been payable to the Employee with respect to each such vested Stock Unit had such vested Stock Unit instead been an issued and outstanding Share on the record date of any such dividends (the “Dividend Equivalent Amount”), but only to the extent that the Dividend Equivalent Amount has not previously been paid to the Employee with respect to such vested Stock Unit. At the Company’s discretion, payment of the Dividend Equivalent Amount may be made in cash or in Shares having a Fair Market Value on the Payment Date equal to the Dividend Equivalent Amount. At the Company’s election, the Company shall cause the Shares delivered as payment with respect to the vested Stock Units to either be evidenced by a book entry account maintained by the Company’s stock transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), by a certificate issued in the Employee’s name, or by delivery to the Employee’s individual share holdings account in the Company’s equity plan manager’s system (“Employee’s Account”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, following a Change of Control of the Company, the Company, at its election, may elect to make any payment required to be made to the Employee pursuant to this Section 4 in cash rather than Shares.
3
5.Taxes. The Company shall have the right to satisfy any obligation of the Company to withhold taxes or other amounts with respect to the Stock Units by withholding Shares otherwise deliverable to the Employee with respect to the Stock Units having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such tax or other withholdings, provided the amount will not result in liability accounting for the Company. Furthermore, the Company may elect to deduct from any cash payment made to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement the amount of any taxes or other amounts which the Company is or will be required to withhold with respect to such cash payment.
6.No Right to Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere with or restrict in any way with the right of the Company or any such Subsidiary to terminate his employment at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.
7.Acknowledgement and Section 409A Compliance.

4
(d)If the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code at the time of his “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then any payment otherwise required to be made to him under this Agreement on account of his separation from service, to the extent such payment (after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such payment under Section 409A of the Code) is properly treated as deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall not be made until the first business day after (i) the expiration of six months from the date of the Employee’s separation from service, or (ii) if earlier, the date of the Employee’s death.
(e)The Employee’s right to receive each installment of Stock Units shall be treated as separate payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, none of the Performance Stock Units may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of; provided, however, the right to receive payment with respect to the Performance Stock Units may be transferred upon the death of the Employee to the Employee’s Successor.
(b)The number of Performance Stock Units earned shall be determined, and shall vest, as of the last day of the Performance Period based on the relative level of achievement of the Performance Goals as set forth in Exhibit A or earlier, upon an Acceleration Event (as defined in Section 5). The number of Performance Stock Units earned shall be determined by providing equal weight to the Performance Goals (such number of Performance Stock Units, the “Vested Performance Stock Units”). The determination of the Vested Performance Stock Units shall be made by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in its sole discretion as soon as administratively possible after the Company’s audited financial statements are available for the final fiscal year of the Performance Period. Any Performance Stock Units or rights to Performance Stock Units that do not become Vested Performance Stock Units as of the last day of the Performance Period, or earlier upon an Acceleration Event, shall be immediately and automatically forfeited to the Company without notice and without consideration.
4
(c)In the event of the complete termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company for Cause (as defined herein unless defined in any written agreement between the Company and the Employee in effect at the time of such termination of employment) or by the Employee without Good Reason (as defined herein unless defined in any written agreement between the Company and the Employee in effect at the time of such termination of employment) prior to the earlier of the last day of the Performance Period or an Acceleration Event, the Employee’s right to any Stock Units subject to this Agreement shall be immediately and automatically forfeited to the Company without notice for no consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, a termination by the Employee without Good Reason will not include a termination by reason of the Employee’s death, disability, retirement on or after the Employee’s sixty-fifth birthday or a termination by the Employee for Good Reason.
5.Payment and Issuance of Shares. As soon as administratively practicable following the determination of the achievement of the Performance Goals for the Performance Period, but in no event later than March 15 following the end of the Performance Period (the “Payment Date”), the Company shall make a payment to the Employee of one Share for every Vested Performance Stock Unit as payment with respect to each such Vested Performance Stock Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the last day of the Performance Period by reason of the Employee’s death or disability (an “Acceleration Event”), then (i) for purposes of determining the number of Vested Performance Stock Units as of such Acceleration Event, the achievement of the Performance Goals shall be deemed to be 100% and the award shall be prorated for the shortened Performance Period (ii) the Company shall make a payment to the Employee of one Share for every Vested Performance Stock Unit as soon as reasonably practicable following such Acceleration Event, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date of the Acceleration Event, and (iii) the Employee will not be entitled to any further payment pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of retirement on or after the Employee’s sixty-fifth birthday, by the Company without Cause (as defined herein unless defined in
5
any written agreement between the Company and the Employee in effect at the time of such termination of employment) or by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined herein unless defined in any written agreement between the Company and the Employee in effect at the time of such termination of employment), the determination of the number of Vested Performance Stock Units, and any payment to be made to the Employee with respect to any Vested Performance Stock Units, shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable following the determination of the achievement of the Performance Goals for the Performance Period, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the end of the Performance Period. If any dividends are declared on the Company’s Shares while the Performance Stock Units subject to this Agreement are outstanding, the Company shall make a payment to the Employee on the Payment Date or the Acceleration Event, as the case may be, with respect to each Performance Stock Unit that became a Vested Performance Stock Unit on the Payment Date or the Acceleration Event, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of dividends that would have been payable to the Employee with respect to each such Vested Performance Stock Unit had such Vested Stock Performance Unit instead been an issued and outstanding Share on the record date of any such dividends (the “Dividend Equivalent Amount”). At the Company’s discretion, payment of the Dividend Equivalent Amount may be made in cash or in Shares having a Fair Market Value on the Payment Date or the Acceleration Event, as the case may be, equal to the Dividend Equivalent Amount. In no event will dividends or any dividend equivalents be paid on unvested Performance Stock Units which are forfeited. At the Company’s election, the Company shall cause the Shares delivered as payment with respect to the Vested Performance Stock Units to either be evidenced by a book entry account maintained by the Company’s stock transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), by a certificate issued in the Employee’s name, or by delivery to the Employee’s individual share holdings account in the Company’s equity plan manager’s system (“Employee’s Account”). Upon the earlier of the date the Shares are evidenced in a book entry account maintained by the Transfer Agent, the date a certificate for the Shares are issued in the Employee’s name, or the date transferred to Employee’s Account, the Employee shall be a shareholder with respect to the Shares and shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares,
6
including the right to vote the Shares and to receive any dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, following a Change of Control of the Company, the Company, at its election, may elect to make any payment required to be made to the Employee pursuant to this Section 5 in cash rather than Shares.
6.Taxes. The Company shall have the right to satisfy any obligation of the Company to withhold taxes or other amounts with respect to the Vested Performance Stock Units by withholding Shares otherwise deliverable to the Employee with respect to the Vested Performance Stock Units having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such tax or other withholdings, provided that the amount will not result in liability accounting for the Company. Furthermore, the Company may elect to deduct from any cash payment made to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement the amount of any taxes or other amounts which the Company is or will be required to withhold with respect to such cash payment.
7.No Right to Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere with or restrict in any way with the right of the Company or any such Subsidiary to terminate his employment at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.
7
8.Acknowledgement and Section 409A Compliance.
(a)Employee acknowledges that neither the Company nor any of the Company’s affiliates, officers, shareholders, employees, agents or representatives has provided or is providing the undersigned with tax advice regarding the Performance Stock Units subject to this Agreement or any other matter, and the Company has urged the Employee to consult with his own tax advisor with respect to the income taxation consequences associated with the Performance Stock Units subject to this Agreement.
(b)It is intended that this Award of Performance Stock Units comply with Section 409A of the Code, and this Award and the terms of this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with such intent, although in no event shall the Company have any liability to the Employee if this Award or the terms of this Agreement are determined not to comply with Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Agreement, termination of employment means a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h).
(c)Whenever payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., payment may be made within thirty (30) days after the Payment Date), the actual date of payment within the specified period will be determined solely by the Company.
(d)If the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code at the time of his “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then any payment otherwise required to be made to him under this Agreement on account of his separation from service, to the extent such payment (after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such payment under Section 409A of the Code) is properly treated as deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall not be made until the first business day after (i) the expiration of six months from the date of the Employee’s separation from service, or (ii) if earlier, the date of the Employee’s death.
8
9.Incorporation of Provisions of the Plan. All of the provisions of the Plan pursuant to which the Performance Stock Units are granted are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof as if specifically set forth herein, and to the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and the terms contained in the Plan, the Plan shall control. To the extent any capitalized terms are not otherwise defined herein, they shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
10.Invalidity of Provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement as a result of a violation of any state or federal law, or of the rules or regulations of any governmental regulatory body, shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement.
11.Waiver and Modification. The provisions of this Agreement may not be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
12.Interpretation. All decisions or interpretations made by the Committee with regard to any question arising under the Plan or this Agreement as provided by Section 4 of the Plan, shall be binding and conclusive on the Company and the Employee.
13.Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts, all of which together shall constitute an original agreement. The execution by one party of any counterpart shall be sufficient execution by that party, whether or not the same counterpart has been executed by any other party.
14.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be duly executed, and the Employee has hereunto set his hand, all as of the day and year first above written.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Myers Industries, Inc. and all wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2019, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will occur for the year ending December 31, 2019. Accounting Standards Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which created Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842. Under ASU 2016-02, an entity recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet, and discloses key information about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method, which required application of the new guidance to only those leases that existed at the date of adoption. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients,” which permitted the Company to not reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected to apply the guidance at a portfolio level and use the discount rate corresponding to the remaining lease term at transition. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $5.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively, on January 1, 2019. The difference between the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related primarily to the removal of previously recorded accrued rent balances as a result of recording straight-line rent expense for certain leases. In addition, the adoption resulted in an adjustment to opening retained earnings (deficit) of approximately $0.9 million, net of tax, on January 1, 2019. This cumulative-effect transition adjustment to opening retained earnings (deficit) related to the recognition of the remaining deferred gain on the sale-leaseback transaction that occurred in 2018. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations or cash flows. The following tables summarize the impacts of ASC 842 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements:
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and this ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20). This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its 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. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Certain disclosures in this ASU are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. The ASU is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The guidance allows for early adoption for impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements unless a goodwill impairment were to occur. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement The Company follows guidance included in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for its financial assets and liabilities, as required. Under ASC 820, the hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three levels:
Financial assets that are measured at net asset value, which is a practical expedient to estimating fair value, are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. The Company has financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value due to the nature and relative short maturity of these assets and liabilities. The fair value of debt under the Company’s Loan Agreement, as defined in Note 12, approximates carrying value due to the floating rates and relative short maturity (less than 90 days) of the revolving borrowings under this agreement. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated using market observable inputs for the Company’s comparable peers with public debt, including quoted prices in active markets and interest rate measurements which are considered Level 2 inputs. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate fair value of the Company's outstanding fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated at $77.8 million and $76.8 million, respectively. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

Revenue Recognition |
2. Revenue Recognition The following tables disaggregate the Company’s revenue by major market:
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied. In both the Distribution and Material Handling segments, this generally occurs with the transfer of control of the Company’s products. This transfer of control may occur at either the time of shipment from a Company facility, or at the time of delivery to a designated customer location. Obligations under contracts with customers are typically fulfilled within 90 days of receiving a purchase order from a customer, and generally no other future obligations are required to be performed. The Company does not enter into any long-term contracts with customers greater than one year. Based on the nature of the Company’s products and customer contracts, the Company has not recorded any deferred revenue, with the exception of cash advances or deposits received from customers prior to transfer of control of the product. These advances are typically fulfilled within the 90 day time frame mentioned above. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the products. Certain contracts with customers include variable consideration, such as rebates or discounts. The Company recognizes estimates of this variable consideration each period, primarily based on the most likely level of consideration to be paid to the customer under the specific terms of the underlying programs. While the Company’s contracts with customers do not generally include explicit rights to return product, the Company will in practice allow returns in the normal course of business and as part of the customer relationship. Thus, the Company estimates the expected returns each period based on an analysis of historical experience. For certain businesses where physical recovery of the product from returns occurs, the Company records an estimated right to return asset from such recovery, based on the approximate cost of the product. Amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (Unaudited) related to revenue recognition include:
Sales, value added, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue from customers are excluded from net sales. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for shipments to customers when control over products has transferred to the customer. Costs for shipments to customers are classified as Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the Company’s manufacturing business and as Cost of Sales for the Company’s distribution business in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). The Company incurred costs for shipments to customers of approximately $2.2 million and $2.7 million in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1.5 million and $1.3 million in Cost of Sales for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. All other internal distribution costs are recorded in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Based on the short term nature of contracts described above, the Company does not incur significant contract acquisition costs. These costs, as well as other incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract, are recognized as expense as incurred. |

3. Assets Held for Sale As part of its ongoing strategy, the Company continues to evaluate its various real estate holdings. As a result of these initiatives, certain buildings were reclassified as held for sale in 2018 and 2019. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had classified $2.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively, of buildings as held for sale, in Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited). During the first quarter of 2019, the Company sold a building previously held for sale for net proceeds of $4.5 million. This building was included in the Company’s Material Handling Segment. |

Disposal of Businesses |
4. Disposal of Businesses On December 18, 2017, the Company, collectively with its wholly owned subsidiary, Myers Holdings Brasil, Ltda. (“Holdings”), completed the sale of its subsidiaries, Myers do Brasil Embalagens Plasticas Ltda. and Plasticos Novel do Nordeste Ltda. (collectively, the “Brazil Business”), to Novel Holdings – Eireli (“Buyer”), an entity controlled by a member of the Brazil Business’ management team. The Brazil Business was part of the Material Handling Segment. The Company has agreed to be the guarantor under a factoring arrangement between the Buyer and Banco Alfa de Investimento S.A. until December 31, 2019 for up to $7 million, in the event the Buyer is unable to meet its obligations under this arrangement. The Company also holds a first lien against certain machinery and equipment, exercisable only upon default by the Buyer under the guaranty. Based on the nature of the guaranty, as well as the existence of the lien, the Company believes the fair value of the guaranty is immaterial (based primarily on Level 3 inputs), and thus has recorded no liability related to this guaranty in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited). This guaranty also creates a variable interest to the Company in the Brazil Business. Based on the terms of the transaction and the fact that the Company has no management involvement or voting interests in the Brazil Business following the sale, the Company does not have any power to direct the significant activities of the Brazil Business, and is thus not the primary beneficiary. On February 17, 2015, the Company sold its Lawn and Garden business to an entity controlled by Wingate Partners V, L.P. (“L&G Buyer”). The terms of the sale included promissory notes totaling $20 million that were originally set to mature in August 2020 with a 6% interest rate. During the third quarter of 2018, management of the Lawn and Garden business, now named HC Companies, Inc. (“HC”), requested an extension to the maturity of the notes as part of an effort to restructure their debt. The Company believes there is uncertainty about the ability to collect on the notes and corresponding accrued interest, and as a result, the Company recorded a provision for expected loss of $23.0 million within continuing operations during the third quarter of 2018. The Company ceased recognizing interest income as of September 30, 2018 following the recognition of the provision. In April 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with HC to amend and restate the notes (“Amended and Restated Notes”). The Amended and Restated Notes maintain the amounts due under the original terms of the notes, including interest, and extend the maturity to August 2022. The agreement to amend and restate the notes did not change management’s assessment of the uncertainty to collect on the notes. In addition, approximately $8.6 million of the purchase price related to the Lawn and Garden sale was placed in escrow that was due to be settled by August 2016. The release of these funds had been extended pending the resolution of indemnification claims, as further described in Note 11. In April 2018, the Company reached agreement on the material terms of a settlement, and, as a result, recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.225 million to discontinued operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The settlement was finalized and paid in May 2018, and upon settlement and release of any further obligation on behalf of the Company, the remaining $7.4 million was released from escrow to the Company. In connection with the financial risk described above with HC, the Company further assessed its potential obligations under a lease guarantee granted as part of the sale of the Lawn and Garden business. Refer to Note 11 for further information with regards to this guarantee. Summarized selected financial information for discontinued operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are presented in the following table:
Net cash flows provided by discontinued operations in 2019 resulted from the remaining receipt of the tax benefit from a worthless stock deduction, which was recognized as part of the sale of the Brazil Business. Net cash flows used for discontinued operations in 2018 resulted from the payment of expenses related to the sale of the Brazil Business. |

Restructuring |
5. Restructuring On March 20, 2019, the Company committed to implementing a restructuring plan involving its Ameri-Kart Corp. subsidiary (“Ameri-Kart”) that operates within the Company’s Material Handling Segment. The Company plans to consolidate manufacturing operations currently conducted at Ameri-Kart’s Cassopolis, Michigan facility with expanded operations at Ameri-Kart’s Bristol, Indiana facility, and eliminate up to 30 positions in connection with the consolidation (the “Ameri-Kart Plan”). Total restructuring costs expected to be incurred are approximately $0.9 million, which include employee severance and other employee-related costs of approximately $0.2 million, equipment relocation and facility shut down costs of approximately $0.6 million and non-cash charges, primarily accelerated depreciation charges on property, plant and equipment, of approximately $0.1 million. No costs were incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 related to the Ameri-Kart Plan. The Ameri-Kart Plan is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2019. On March 18, 2019, the Company committed to implementing a restructuring plan relating to transformation initiatives within the Company’s Distribution Segment (the “Distribution Transformation Plan”) that are intended to increase sales force effectiveness, reduce costs and improve contribution margins. The Company plans to realign its Distribution Segment’s commercial sales structure, which includes the elimination of certain sales and administrative positions, as well as expand its e-commerce platform. Total restructuring costs expected to be incurred are approximately $0.9 million, primarily related to employee severance and other employee-related costs. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $0.9 million and does not expect to incur any additional restructuring charges in connection with the Distribution Transformation Plan. The Distribution Transformation Plan is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2019. On March 9, 2017, the Company announced a restructuring plan to improve the Company’s organizational structure and operational efficiency within the Material Handling Segment (the “Material Handling Plan”), which related primarily to anticipated facility shutdowns and associated activities. Total restructuring costs incurred related to the Material Handling Plan were approximately $7.7 million, which includes employee severance and other employee-related costs of approximately $3.1 million, $2.6 million related to equipment relocation and facility shut down costs and non-cash charges, primarily accelerated depreciation charges on property, plant and equipment, of approximately $2.0 million. All actions under the Material Handling Plan are completed. The Company incurred $0.1 million of restructuring charges associated with the Material Handling Plan during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. No costs were incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
The restructuring charges noted above are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited) as follows:
The table below summarizes restructuring activity for the quarter ended March 31, 2019:
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company reclassified a facility that was closed in connection with the Material Handling Plan as held for sale as discussed in Note 3. Based on the estimated fair value of this facility (using primarily a third party offer considered to be a Level 2 input), less estimated costs to sell, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $0.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
In addition to the restructuring charges noted above, the Company has also incurred $0.1 million of other associated costs of the Distribution Transformation Plan during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, which are included in Selling, General, and Administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited), and are primarily related to third party consulting costs. Additional estimated costs of $0.2 million and $0.9 million are expected to be incurred throughout the remainder of 2019 related to the Ameri-Kart Plan and the Distribution Transformation Plan, respectively. |

Inventories |
6. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market for last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory and lower of cost or net realizable value for first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory. Approximately 30 percent of inventories are valued using the LIFO method of determining cost. All other inventories are valued at the FIFO method of determining cost. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these calculations are subject to many factors beyond management’s control, annual results may differ from interim results as they are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. Based on management’s projections of inventory levels and costs, no adjustment to the LIFO reserve was recorded for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

10. Stock Compensation The Company’s Amended and Restated 2017 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2017 Plan”) authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to issue up to 5,126,950 shares of various stock awards including stock options, performance stock units, restricted stock units and other forms of equity-based awards to key employees and directors. Options granted and outstanding vest over the requisite service period and expire ten years from the date of grant. In March 2019, the Company granted 235,474 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $18.54 per share and a weighted average fair value of $5.78 per share. The fair value of options granted is estimated using a binomial lattice option pricing model. Also in March 2019, the Company granted 77,810 and 101,500 time-based and performance-based restricted stock units, respectively, with a weighted average fair value of $18.54 per share. Stock compensation expense was approximately $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These expenses are included in Selling, General and Administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements at March 31, 2019 was approximately $8.2 million, which will be recognized over the next three years, as such compensation is earned. |

Contingencies |
11. Contingencies The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and a party to various other legal proceedings, in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. When a loss arising from these matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, we record the amount of the estimated loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range, and no point within the range is more probable of occurrence than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters will be assessed and the estimates will be revised, if necessary. Based on current available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, including those described below, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or overall trends in our results of operations. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the financial position and results of operations of the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods. New Idria Mercury Mine In September 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) informed a subsidiary of the Company, Buckhorn, Inc. (“Buckhorn”) via a notice letter and related documents (the “Notice Letter”) that it considers Buckhorn to be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) in connection with the New Idria Mercury Mine site (“New Idria Mine”). New Idria Mining & Chemical Company (“NIMCC”), which owned and/or operated the New Idria Mine through 1976, was merged into Buckhorn Metal Products Inc. in 1981, which was subsequently acquired by Myers Industries in 1987. As a result of the EPA Notice Letter, Buckhorn and the Company engaged in negotiations with the EPA with respect to a draft Administrative Order of Consent (“AOC”) proposed by the EPA for the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) to determine the extent of remediation necessary and the screening of alternatives. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company and the EPA finalized the AOC and related Statement of Work (“SOW”) with regards to the New Idria Mine. The AOC is effective as of November 27, 2018, the date that it was executed by the EPA. The AOC and accompanying SOW document the terms, conditions and procedures for the Company’s performance of the RI/FS. In addition, the AOC requires the Company to provide $2 million of financial assurance to the EPA to secure its performance during the estimated three year life of the RI/FS. In January 2019, the Company provided this assurance as a letter of credit. The AOC also includes provisions for payment by the Company of the EPA’s costs of oversight of the RI/FS, including a prepayment in the amount of $0.2 million, which was paid in January 2019. Since October 2011, when New Idria was added to the Superfund National Priorities List by the EPA, the Company has recognized $5.9 million of costs, of which approximately $2.9 million has been paid to date. These costs are comprised primarily of negotiation of the AOC, identification of possible insurance resources and other PRPs, estimates to perform the RI/FS, EPA oversight fees, past cost claims made by the EPA, periodic monitoring, and responses to unilateral administrative orders issued by the EPA. No expenses were recorded related to the New Idria Mine in the quarters ended March 31, 2019 or 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has a total reserve of $3.0 million related to the New Idria Mine, of which $0.5 million is classified in Other Current Liabilities and $2.5 million in Other Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited). It is possible that adjustments to the aforementioned reserves will be necessary as new information is obtained, including after preparation and EPA approval of the work plan for the RI/FS, which is anticipated to occur in the second quarter of 2019. Estimates of the Company’s liability are based on current facts, laws, regulations and technology. Estimates of the Company’s environmental liabilities are further subject to uncertainties regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation standards, imprecise engineering evaluation and cost estimates, the extent of remedial actions that may be required, the extent of oversight by the EPA, the number and financial condition of other PRPs that may be named as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation, and the availability of insurance coverage for these expenses. At this time, we have not accrued for remediation costs in connection with this site as we are unable to estimate the liability, given the circumstances referred to above, including the fact that the final remediation strategy has not yet been determined. New Almaden Mine A number of parties, including the Company and its subsidiary, Buckhorn (as successor to NIMCC), were alleged by trustee agencies of the United States and the State of California to be responsible for natural resource damages due to environmental contamination of areas comprising the historical New Almaden mercury mines located in the Guadalupe River Watershed region in Santa Clara County, California (“County”). In 2005, Buckhorn and the Company, without admitting liability or chain of ownership of NIMCC, resolved the trustees’ claim against them through a consent decree that required them to contribute financially to the implementation by the County of an environmentally beneficial project within the impacted area. Buckhorn and the Company negotiated an agreement with the County, whereby Buckhorn and the Company agreed to reimburse one-half of the County’s costs of implementing the project, originally estimated to be approximately $1.6 million. As a result, in 2005, the Company recognized expense of $0.8 million representing its share of the initial estimated project costs, of which approximately $0.5 million has been paid to date. In April 2016, the Company was notified by the County that the original cost estimate may no longer be appropriate due to expanded scope and increased costs of construction and provided a revised estimate of between $3.3 million and $4.4 million. The Company completed a detailed review of the support provided by the County for the revised estimate, and as a result, recognized additional expense of $1.2 million in 2016. No costs were incurred related to New Almaden in the quarters ended March 31, 2019 or 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has a total reserve of $1.5 million related to the New Almaden Mine, of which $0.3 million is classified in Other Current Liabilities and $1.2 million in Other Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited). The project has not yet been implemented though significant work on design and planning has been performed. The Company is currently awaiting notice from Santa Clara County on the expected timing of fieldwork to commence. As work on the project occurs, it is possible that adjustments to the aforementioned reserves will be necessary to reflect new information. In addition, the Company may have claims against and defenses to claims by the County under the 2005 agreement that could reduce or offset its obligation for reimbursement of some of these potential additional costs. With the assistance of environmental consultants, the Company will closely monitor this matter and will continue to assess its reserves as additional information becomes available. Lawn and Garden Indemnification Claim In connection with the sale of the Lawn and Garden business, as described in Note 4, the Company received Notices of Indemnification Claims in April 2015 and July 2016 (collectively, the “Claims”), alleging breaches of certain representations and warranties under the agreement resulting in alleged losses in the amount of approximately $10 million. As described in Note 4, approximately $8.6 million of the sale proceeds that were placed in escrow were due to be settled in August 2016; however, the release of these funds had been extended pending the resolution of the Claims, which were the subject of a lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court. In April 2018, the Company reached agreement on the material terms of a settlement, and as a result, recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.225 million to discontinued operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The settlement agreement was finalized in May 2018, and the settlement amount was funded from the escrow account. In addition, upon settlement and release of any further obligation on behalf of the Company, the remaining $7.4 million was released from escrow to the Company in the second quarter of 2018. Lawn and Garden Lease Guarantee In connection with the sale of the Lawn and Garden business, as described in Note 4, the Company is a guarantor for one of HC’s facility leases expiring in September 2025 for any remaining rent payments under the lease for which HC is unable to meet its obligations. Current annual rent for the facility is approximately $2 million, and is subject to annual CPI increases throughout the lease term. In connection with the financial risk associated with HC, as described in Note 4, the Company assessed its range of potential obligations under the lease guarantee, and as a result of this analysis, recorded a liability and related pre-tax charge of $10.3 million during the third quarter of 2018. The carrying value of the lease contingency as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $10.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively, which represents the initial liability recorded plus accretion and is included in Other Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited). Patent Infringement On December 11, 2018, No Spill Inc. filed suit against Scepter Manufacturing LLC and Scepter Corporation (“Scepter”) in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas asserting infringement of two patents, breach of contract, and trade dress claims in relation to plastic gasoline containers Scepter manufactures and sells in the United States. A schedule in the case has not yet issued. Scepter intends to defend itself vigorously in this matter. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, and is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of the litigation will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. Accordingly, the Company has not currently recorded any reserves for this matter. |

Long-Term Debt and Loan Agreements |
12. Long-Term Debt and Loan Agreements Long-term debt consisted of the following:
In March 2017, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement replaced the pre-existing $300 million senior revolving credit facility with a $200 million facility and extended the term from December 2018 to March 2022. The Company also holds Senior Unsecured Notes (“Notes”), which range in face value from $11 million to $40 million, with interest rates ranging from 4.67% to 5.45%, payable semiannually, and maturing between 2021 and 2026. At March 31, 2019, $78 million of the Notes were outstanding. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company may borrow up to $200 million, reduced for letters of credit issued. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $194.0 million available under the Loan Agreement. The Company had $6.0 million of letters of credit issued related to insurance and other contracts requiring financial assurance in the ordinary course of business at March 31, 2019. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate, prime rate, federal funds effective rate, the Canadian deposit offered rate, or the euro currency reference rate depending on the type of loan requested by the Company, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Loan Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s long-term debt was 6.23% and 5.22% for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which includes a quarterly facility fee on the used and unused portion, as well as amortization of deferred financing costs. As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants associated with its Loan Agreement and Notes. The most restrictive financial covenants for all of the Company’s debt are an interest coverage ratio (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, divided by interest expense) and a leverage ratio (defined as total debt divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted). |

Retirement Plans |
13. Retirement Plans The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have pension and profit sharing plans covering substantially all of their employees. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan, The Pension Agreement between Akro-Mils and United Steelworkers of America Local No. 1761-02, provides benefits primarily based upon a fixed amount for each year of service. The plan was frozen in 2007, and thus benefits for service were no longer accumulated after this date. Net periodic pension cost is as follows:
The Company expects to make a contribution to the plan of $30 in 2019. |

Income Taxes |
14. Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to 25.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The effective income tax rate for both periods was different than the Company’s statutory rate, primarily due to state taxes and non-deductible expenses. The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate was $1.0 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal, state and local, and non-U.S. income tax returns. As of March 31, 2019, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal examination by tax authorities for tax years before 2015. The Company received notice in April 2019 from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) of its intent to audit the Company’s 2017 U.S. Federal tax return. The Company is subject to state and local examinations for tax years of 2013 through 2018. In addition, the Company is subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations for tax years of 2013 through 2018. |

Leases |
15. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has leases for distribution centers, warehouses, office space and equipment, with remaining lease terms of one to nine years. Certain of these leases include options to extend the lease for up to five years, and some include options to terminate the lease early. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases are included in right of use asset – operating leases (“ROU assets”), operating lease liability –short term, and operating lease liability – long term in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (Unaudited). The ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is then applied at the portfolio level, based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The Company has also elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (Unaudited) related to leases include:
The components of lease expense include:
Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows:
Future minimum rental commitments (undiscounted) as of December 31, 2018 under ASC 840 were as follows:
On February 27, 2018, the Company completed a sale-leaseback transaction for its distribution center in Pomona, California for a net purchase price of $2.3 million. The Company realized a gain on the sale of $2.0 million, of which $0.7 million was recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The remaining $1.3 million was recognized ratably over the term of the ten-year lease at approximately $0.1 million per year, until January 1, 2019 upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02 as discussed in Note 1. Simultaneous with closing the sale, the Company entered into a ten-year operating lease arrangement with base annual rent of approximately $0.1 million during the first year, followed by annual increases of 3% through the remainder of the lease period. This facility is included in the Company’s Distribution Segment. |

Industry Segments |
16. Industry Segments Using the criteria of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company manages its business under two operating segments, Material Handling and Distribution, consistent with the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates performance and makes resource allocation decisions. None of the reportable segments include operating segments that have been aggregated. These segments contain individual business components that have been combined on the basis of common management, customers, products, production processes and other economic characteristics. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost plus a specified mark-up.
The Material Handling Segment manufactures a broad selection of plastic reusable containers, pallets, small parts bins, bulk shipping containers, storage and organization products and rotationally-molded plastic tanks for water, fuel and waste handling. This segment conducts its primary operations in the United States and Canada. Markets served encompass various niches of industrial manufacturing, food processing, retail/wholesale products distribution, agriculture, automotive, recreational vehicles, marine vehicles, healthcare, appliance, bakery, electronics, textiles, consumer, and others. Products are sold both directly to end-users and through distributors. The Distribution Segment is engaged in the distribution of equipment, tools, and supplies used for tire servicing and automotive undervehicle repair and the manufacture of tire repair and retreading products. The product line includes categories such as tire valves and accessories, tire changing and balancing equipment, lifts and alignment equipment, service equipment and tools, and tire repair/retread supplies. The Distribution Segment operates domestically through sales offices and four regional distribution centers in the United States, and in certain foreign countries through export sales. In addition, the Distribution Segment operates directly in certain foreign markets, principally Central America, through foreign branch operations. Markets served include retail and truck tire dealers, commercial auto and truck fleets, auto dealers, general service and repair centers, tire retreaders, and government agencies. Total sales from foreign business units were approximately $12.8 million and $11.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Summarized segment detail for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are presented in the following table:

Basis of Presentation |
Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Myers Industries, Inc. and all wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2019, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will occur for the year ending December 31, 2019. |

Accounting Standards Adopted and Not Yet Adopted |
Accounting Standards Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which created Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842. Under ASU 2016-02, an entity recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet, and discloses key information about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method, which required application of the new guidance to only those leases that existed at the date of adoption. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients,” which permitted the Company to not reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected to apply the guidance at a portfolio level and use the discount rate corresponding to the remaining lease term at transition. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $5.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively, on January 1, 2019. The difference between the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related primarily to the removal of previously recorded accrued rent balances as a result of recording straight-line rent expense for certain leases. In addition, the adoption resulted in an adjustment to opening retained earnings (deficit) of approximately $0.9 million, net of tax, on January 1, 2019. This cumulative-effect transition adjustment to opening retained earnings (deficit) related to the recognition of the remaining deferred gain on the sale-leaseback transaction that occurred in 2018. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations or cash flows. The following tables summarize the impacts of ASC 842 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements:
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and this ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20). This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its 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. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Certain disclosures in this ASU are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. The ASU is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The guidance allows for early adoption for impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements unless a goodwill impairment were to occur. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. |

Fair Value Measurement |
Fair Value Measurement The Company follows guidance included in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for its financial assets and liabilities, as required. Under ASC 820, the hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three levels:
Financial assets that are measured at net asset value, which is a practical expedient to estimating fair value, are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. The Company has financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value due to the nature and relative short maturity of these assets and liabilities. The fair value of debt under the Company’s Loan Agreement, as defined in Note 12, approximates carrying value due to the floating rates and relative short maturity (less than 90 days) of the revolving borrowings under this agreement. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated using market observable inputs for the Company’s comparable peers with public debt, including quoted prices in active markets and interest rate measurements which are considered Level 2 inputs. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate fair value of the Company's outstanding fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated at $77.8 million and $76.8 million, respectively. |

Revenue Recognition |
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied. In both the Distribution and Material Handling segments, this generally occurs with the transfer of control of the Company’s products. This transfer of control may occur at either the time of shipment from a Company facility, or at the time of delivery to a designated customer location. Obligations under contracts with customers are typically fulfilled within 90 days of receiving a purchase order from a customer, and generally no other future obligations are required to be performed. The Company does not enter into any long-term contracts with customers greater than one year. Based on the nature of the Company’s products and customer contracts, the Company has not recorded any deferred revenue, with the exception of cash advances or deposits received from customers prior to transfer of control of the product. These advances are typically fulfilled within the 90 day time frame mentioned above. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the products. Certain contracts with customers include variable consideration, such as rebates or discounts. The Company recognizes estimates of this variable consideration each period, primarily based on the most likely level of consideration to be paid to the customer under the specific terms of the underlying programs. While the Company’s contracts with customers do not generally include explicit rights to return product, the Company will in practice allow returns in the normal course of business and as part of the customer relationship. Thus, the Company estimates the expected returns each period based on an analysis of historical experience. For certain businesses where physical recovery of the product from returns occurs, the Company records an estimated right to return asset from such recovery, based on the approximate cost of the product. |
