b) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We consider the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and July 2018,January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10,2017-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” ASU 2017-04 eliminates the two-step process that required identification of potential impairment and ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements (collectively “Topic 842”). Topic 842 establishes a new lease model, referred to asseparate measure of the right-of-use (ROU) model that brings substantially all leases ontoactual impairment. Goodwill impairment charges, if any, would be determined by the balance sheet. This standard requires lessees to recognize leased assets (ROU Assets) and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about the leasing arrangements in their financial statements. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted Topic 842 effective on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach that allowsdifference between a reporting entity to use the effective date asunit's carrying value and its date of initial application and not restate the comparative periods in the period of adoption when transitioningfair value (impairment loss is limited to the new standard. Consequently, the requisite financial information and disclosures under the new standard are excluded for dates and periods prior to January 1, 2019. In addition, the Company elected to use a number of optional simplification and practical expedients (reliefs) permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, including allowing the Company to combine fixed lease and non-lease components, apply the short-term lease exception to all leases of one year or less, and utilize the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits the Company to not reassess prior accounting conclusions with respect to lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs under Topic 842. The Company did not elect the use-of hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easement; the latter not being applicable to the Company. Adoption of this new standard resulted in the recognition of $4.1 million of operating lease liabilities ($1.0 million in other current liabilities and $3.1 million in long-term operating lease liabilities) which represents the present value of the remaining lease payments of $4.6 million, discounted using the Company’s lease discount rate of 5.74% and $4.9 million of operating lease right-of-use assets, which represents the lease liability of $4.1 million adjusted for prepaid rent to $0.8 million that was previously presented within current prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets on the accompanying balance sheet prior to adoption. Refer to Note 10 for the impact to the financial statements as of June 30, 2019.


In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. ASU 2018-02 allows entities to elect to reclassify the income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) on items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings and requires additional related disclosures.carrying value). This standard is effective for fiscal yearsannual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, however, early adoption is permitted. The Company elected not to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings.2019. The Company’s adoption of this standard on January 1, 20192020 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” The update 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. The update also requires an entity to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement over the term of the hosting arrangement. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted this standard on a prospective basis. The Company’s adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial statements.


 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The update changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In August 2019, the FASB proposed an amendment to ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)” that would delay the effective date for Smaller Reporting Companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Adoption will require a modified retrospective approach beginning with the earliest period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this standard will have on its financial statements.

 

In January 2017,December 2019, the FASB Issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting of Income Taxes”, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine what impact it may have on its financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, 2020-04, ““Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” ASU 2017-04 eliminates the two-step process that required identification of potential impairment and a separate measureReference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the actual impairment. Goodwill impairment charges, if any, would be determined by the difference betweenEffects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This update provides optional guidance for a reporting unit's carrying value and its fair value (impairment loss is limited period of time to the carrying value). This standard is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company’s adoption of this standard is notease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to havebe discontinued, such as interbank offered rates and LIBOR. This guidance includes practical expedients for contract modifications due to reference rate reform. Generally, contract modifications related to reference rate reform may be considered an event that does not require remeasurement or reassessment of a material impact on its financial statements.previous accounting determination at the modification date. This guidance may be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company will apply this guidance to transactions and modifications to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR.

Effective on February 28, 2017, theThe Company entered into a 7-yearis party to an amended and restated credit agreement with BB&T (the “Credit Agreement”) that providedwith Truist Bank (formerly known as Branch Banking and Trust Company), consisting of a $75 million revolving credit facility of $35 million which was to terminate on February 25, 2022, and providedexpiring in May 2023, a term loan maturing in February 2024 (“2017 Term Loan”) and a term loan maturing in January 2026 (“2018 Term Loan”). 

Obligations outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan have a variable interest rate of $42 million, which matures on February 26, 2024. Both loans were based upon the one-month LIBOR rate for U.S. dollar based borrowings. Interest was payable for each loan at LIBOR (rounded up to the next 1/100thplus a margin of 1%) plus 0.75%. The Company pays a commitment fee of 0.10% per annumbetween 0.85% and 1.65% (based on the average unused portion of the commitment under the credit facility.


Effective on May 2, 2018, and concurrently with the closing of the CID Resources acquisition, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), with BB&T pursuantCompany’s funded debt to which the Company’s existing revolving credit facility was increased from $35 million to $75 million and which provided an additional term loan in the principal amount of $85 million. No principal payments were due on the $85 million term loan prior to its maturity. The term of the revolving credit facility was extended until May 2023 and the $85 million term loan was to mature in May 2020. The Company’s existing term loan with the original principal amount of $42 million remains outstanding with a maturity date of February 2024 and with the same amortization schedule. Contractual principal payments for the $42 million term loan are as follows: 2019 through 2023 - $6.0 million per year; and 2024 - $1.5 million.

EBITDA ratio) (1.77% at March 31, 2020). Obligations outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the $42 million term loan2017 Term Loan generally have a variable interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a margin of between 0.68% (3.08%and 1.50% (based on the Company’s funded debt to EBITDA ratio) (1.60% at June 30, 2019)March 31, 2020). The available balance under the revolving credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, there were no outstanding letters of credit.

On March 30, 2020, the Company entered into debt deferment agreements with Truist Bank to: (i) defer contractual principal and interest payments due between April 1, 2020 and June 1, 2020 under the 2017 Term Loan and 2018 Term Loan until their respective maturity dates; and (ii) defer contractual interest payments due between April 1, 2020 and June 1, 2020 under the revolving credit facility until its maturity date. Contractual principal payments for the 2017 Term Loan are as follows: remainder of 2020 - $3.0 million; 2021 through 2023 - $6.0 million per year; and 2024 - $3.0 million. Contractual principal payments for the 2018 Term Loan are as follows: remainder of 2020 - $4.6 million; 2021 through 2025 - $9.3 million per year; and 2026 - $3.1 million. The term loans do not contain pre-payment penalties.

 

On January 22, 2019, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement pursuant to which the existing $85 million term loan was restructured. The Company used $20 million borrowed under its existing revolving credit facilityis a party to reduce the principal amount to $65 million. The maturity date on the loan was extended to January 22, 2026 and the interest rate was lowered to a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.85% (3.25% at June 30, 2019). Contractual principal payments for the $65 million term loan are as follows: 2019 - $8.5 million, 2020 through 2025 - $9.3 million per year; and 2026 - $0.8 million. The revolving credit facility, $42 million term loan and $65 million term loan are collectively referred to as the “Credit Facilities”.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, contains customary events of default and negative covenants, including but not limited to those governing indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, investments, restricted payments, and sales of assets. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, also requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1 and a funded debt to EBITDA ratio not to exceed 4.0:1. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with these ratios. The Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the operating assets of the Company as collateral, and the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facilities are guaranteed by all of its domestic subsidiaries. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facilities are subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended.

Effective on March 3, 2017, in order to reduce the interest rate risk on its future debt, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (“original swap”) with BB&T that was designed to effectively convert or hedge the variable interest rate on a portion of its future borrowings to achieve a net fixed rate of 3.12% per annum, beginning March 1, 2018 with a total notional amountvalue of $18.0 million.$12.0 million as of March 31, 2020 pursuant to which it makes fixed payments and receives floating payments. The notional amount ofCompany entered into the interest rate swap to offset changes in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in the associated variable interest rates. The Company’s interest rate swap expires in February 2024. The interest rate swap is reduced by $0.3 million per month beginning April 1, 2018 through February 26, 2024. Under the terms ofnot designated as a hedge transaction. Changes in fair value and gains and losses on settlement on the interest rate swap are recognized in interest expense in our statements of comprehensive income. During the Company will receive variable interest rate paymentsthree months ended March 31, 2020 and make fixed interest rate payments2019, a loss of $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was recognized on an amount equal to the notional amount at that time. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap designated as the hedging instrument that effectively offset the variability of cash flows associated with the variable rate, long-term debt obligation were recorded in other comprehensive income, net of related income tax effects. On May 2, 2018, in conjunction with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the original swap was modified (“amended swap”) to achieve a net fixed rate of 3.05% per annum effective on May 1, 2018 and the remaining notional amount was $17.5 million. There were no other changes to the original swap. As a result of the change, the Company has discontinued hedge accounting for the original swap and has elected not to designate the amended swap. As of May 2, 2018, the fair value of the original swap was $0.1 million and is being amortized as interest expense over the remaining life of the amended swap. Changes to the fair value of the amended swap are recorded as interest expense. As of June 30, 2019, the negative fair value of the amended swap was $0.2 million and was included in other current liabilities.

NOTE 78 – Income Taxes:

 

The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes in interim periods. At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date income or loss. The tax expense or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur.

 

In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, or judgment on the attainment of beginning-of-the-year deferred taxes in future years is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year and permanent and temporary differences. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or the tax environment changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in tax expense for the current quarter.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.9$1.3 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 23.8%27.1%. For the three months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.3$0.6 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 25.1%. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.5 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 22.2%. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.2 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 25.5%20.2%. The decreaseincrease in the effective tax rates israte was primarily due todriven by rate increases of 3.7% for foreign taxes, 0.9% for state income taxes and 1.6% for non-deductible losses recognized on assets associated with the expected 2.0% decrease in the Global Intangible Low Tax Income (“GILTI”) tax during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and a reduction in non-deductible acquisition expense of 2.8% and 1.7% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.Company’s Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan.

NOTE 1011 – Leases

The Company leases several of its operating and office facilities including factories, warehouses, call centers, office space and equipment for various terms under long-term, non-cancelable operating lease agreements. A right-of-use asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and a lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These leases generally have expected lease terms of one to eight years. In the normal course of business, it is expected that these leases will be renewed or replaced by leases on other properties. Options to renew lease terms are included in determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Certain of the lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation and generally require the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, and repairs. The Company’s lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company subleases certain insignificant office space to third parties. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had recognized $4.1 million of operating lease obligation ($1.2 million in other current liabilities and $2.9 million in long-term operating lease liabilities), which represents the present value of the remaining lease payments, and $4.7 million of operating lease right-of-use assets, which represents the lease liability of $4.1 million adjusted for the prepaid rent of $0.7 million. The depreciable-life of right-of-use assets is generally limited by the expected lease term. The Company does not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance leasing arrangement.

The purchase price in the acquisition consisteddo so for an undetermined period of the following: (a) approximately $84.4 million in cash at closing, (b) the issuance of 150,094 shares of the Company’s common stock to an equityholder of CID, and (c) $2.5 million in cash as a result of the cash and working capital adjustment.

The total purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of CID based on their estimated fair values as of May 2, 2018. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill.

The following table presents the allocation of the total fair value of consideration transferred, as shown above, to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of CID based on their estimated fair values as of the effective date of the transaction (in thousands):

The amounts in the table above are reflective of measurement period adjustments madetime. While during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, which mainly included an increase of $2.4 million to goodwill, a decrease of $1.8 million to inventory and an increase of $0.6 million to accounts payable. The measurement period adjustmentsMarch 31, 2020, the pandemic did not have a significantmaterial impact on the Company’s statementbusiness, international, federal, state and local efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 intensified in March 2020 as governments enacted shelter in place orders, declared states of emergency, took steps to restrict travel, enacted temporary closures of non-essential businesses and took other restrictive measures that prohibit many employees from going to work. These government measures have begun to lead to changes in customer purchasing patterns and supply chains.

COVID-19 could continue to have a number of increasingly adverse impacts on our business, including, but not limited to, additional disruption to the economy and our customers’ willingness and/or ability to spend, temporary or permanent closures of businesses that consume our products and services, additional work restrictions, and supply chains being interrupted, slowed, or rendered inoperable. Our employees and the employees and contractors of our suppliers and customers also could become ill, quarantined, or otherwise unable to work or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions.

The majority of the principal fabrics used in the manufacture of products within the Uniform and Related Products segment are sourced in China and the vast majority of raw materials used in our Promotional Products segment are predominantly sourced from China, either directly by BAMKO or its suppliers. If we are unable to continue to obtain affordable raw materials and finished products from China or if our suppliers are unable to source affordable raw materials from China, it could significantly disrupt our business. A prolonged pandemic, or the threat thereof, could significantly disrupt our product sourcing, which in turn, could significantly disrupt our business.

We have and will continue to monitor and control our expense levels to protect our profitability. For example, on March 30, 2020, we entered into debt deferment agreements with Truist Bank (formerly known as Branch Banking and Trust Company) to: (i) defer contractual principal and interest payments due between April 1, 2020 and June 1, 2020 under the 2017 Term Loan and 2018 Term Loan until their respective maturity dates; and (ii) defer contractual interest payments due between April 1, 2020 and June 1, 2020 under the revolving credit facility until its maturity date. Additionally, we are proactively taking steps to increase available cash on hand by targeted reductions in discretionary operating expenses. Finally, we are delaying certain capital expenditures relating to non-essential projects until economic conditions begin to stabilize.

Prolonged instability in the United States and global economies, and how the world reacts to them, could have long-term impacts on our business. These business impacts could negatively affect us in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, reduced demand for our products and services, reductions to our revenue and profitability, costs associated with complying with new or amended laws and regulations affecting our business, further declines in our stock price, reduced availability and less favorable terms of future borrowings, valuation of our pension assets and obligations, reduced credit-worthiness of our customers, and potential impairment of the carrying value of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.flows will depend on numerous evolving factors that we are unable to accurately predict at this time. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation of CID during the second quarter of 2019.

The Company recorded $41.0 million in identifiable intangibles at fair value, consisting of $26.0 million in acquired customer relationships, $0.8 million for a non-compete agreementlength and $14.2 million for the brand name.

Goodwill was calculated as the difference between the fair valuescope of the consideration transferredrestrictions imposed by various governments and success of efforts to find a suitable vaccine, among other factors, will determine the values assigned toultimate severity of the assets acquiredCOVID-19 impact on our business. However, it is likely that prolonged periods of difficult market conditions would have material adverse impacts on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liabilities assumed. This goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The intangible assets associated with the customer relationships are being amortized for fifteen years beginning on May 2, 2018 and the non-compete agreement is being amortized for five years. The trade name is considered an indefinite-life asset and as such is not being amortized.

The Company recognized amortization expense on these acquired intangible assets of $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company recognized amortization expense on these acquired intangible assets of $1.0 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.cash flows.

While there were substantial opportunities to sell promotional products to those customers, it was not an area of focus, specialization, or expertise for over a decade. However, we lacked the scale and expertise needed to be a recognized name in this market prior tous. On March 1, 2016, that changed with our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of BAMKO, effective on March 1, 2016. BAMKO has been operatingInc. (“BAMKO”). One of the top firms in the promotional products industry, for more than 16 yearsBAMKO has a number of strengths, well-developed systems, and time-tested processes that offer significant competitive advantages. With a robust back-office support platform operated out of India, direct-to-factory sourcing operations based in China, and proprietary technological platforms and programming capabilities that we believe that BAMKO’s strong back office and support systems located in India, China and Hong Kong, as well as their “directare very competitive, BAMKO is positioned to factory” sourcing operations provide us with a competitive advantage. We believe that BAMKO has well developed systems and processes that can serve asbe a platform for additionalpotential future acquisitions that we expect to complete in this highly fragmented market.industry. We completed two additional acquisitions in this segment in late 2017. We2017 and remain open to additional acquisitions going forward. In recent years we have seen an increase in customer orders and expect those growth opportunities to continue once the current market environment stabilizes. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the branded merchandise industry has experienced customer budget cuts and widespread event cancellations that has led to customer orders being delayed or cancelled entirely. Our Promotional Products segment is experiencing reduced activities from customers in certain areas, such as the restaurant and entertainment industries. In responding to the needs of our customers, the sourcing team within the Promotional Products segment has recently focused on the sourcing of much needed personal protective equipment for our customers to help offset the shortfall in sales from our existing product lines. From a long-term perspective, we believe promotional products are athat this segment’s synergistic fit with our uniform business.business will create opportunities to cross-sell the products of various business segments to new and existing customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Balance SheetOverview

Accounts receivable - trade increased 10.8%

Management uses a number of standards in measuring the Company’s liquidity, such as: working capital, profitability ratios, cash flows from $64.0operating activities, and activity ratios. The strength of the Company’s balance sheet generally provides the ability to pursue acquisitions, invest in new product lines and technologies and invest in additional working capital as necessary. 

The Company’s primary source of liquidity has been its net income and the use of credit facilities and term loans as described further below. In the future, the Company may continue to use credit facilities and other secured and unsecured borrowings as a source of liquidity. Management currently believes that cash flows provided by operating activities and availability under the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s anticipated working capital requirements for the next twelve months. The Company is proactively taking steps to increase available cash on hand by targeted reductions in discretionary cash outflows. The Company may also begin relying on the issuance of equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that any such financings would be available to us on reasonable terms. Any future issuances of equity securities or debt securities with equity features may be dilutive to our shareholders. Additionally, the cost of the Company’s future sources of liquidity may differ from the costs of the Company’s sources of liquidity to date.

The increase in other current liabilities was driven by an increase of $15.8 million in contract liabilities primarily resulting from new customer contracts for the sourcing of personal protective equipment needed in response to COVID-19 within the Promotional Products and Uniform and Related Products segments. The decrease in trade accounts receivable was primarily driven by an increase in revenue and the timing of shipments to customers for finished goods with no alternative use.

Long-term debt decreased 3.1% from $111.5 million on December 31, 2018 to $108.0 million on June 30, 2019.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as amended, contains customary events of default and negative covenants, including but not limited to those governing indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, investments, restricted payments, and sales of assets. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as amended, also requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 1.25:1 and a funded debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not to exceed 4.0:5.0:1. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with these ratios. The Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the operating assets of the Company as collateral, and the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facilities are guaranteed by all of its domestic subsidiaries. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facilities are subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the AmendedCredit Agreement.

Dividends and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended.Share Repurchase Program

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid cash dividends of $1.5 million. 

On May 2, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program of up to 750,000 shares of Company’s outstanding common stock. There is no expiration date or other restriction governing the period over which the Company can make share repurchases under the program. All purchases under this program will be open market transactions. Under this program the Company reacquired and retired 43,458 shares of its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2020, the Company’s remaining repurchase capacity under its common stock repurchase program was 657,451 shares. Shares purchased under the common stock repurchase program are constructively retired and returned to unissued status. The Company considers several factors in determining when to make share repurchases, including among other things, the cost of equity, the after-tax cost of borrowing, the debt to total capitalization targets and the expected future cash needs.

Due to the anticipated continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, the Company has elected to suspend its regular quarterly dividend until we have clearer visibility on improved macro conditions.

 

Shipments (Non-GAAP Financial Measure)

 

In this management’s discussion and analysis, we use a supplemental measure of our performance, which is derived from our financial information, but which is not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This non-GAAP financial measure is “shipments”,“shipments,” and represents a primary metric by which our management evaluates customer demand.

 

We define shipments as net sales excluding, if applicable, sales recorded with respect to contracts with customers in which there is an enforceable right to the payment for goods with no alternative use in advance of the transfer of these goods to our customers. As recognized in accordance with ASC 606, net sales generated from such contracts are recorded as of the time at which we receive the goods from our suppliers rather than at the time we transfer them to our customers. For customers to which we sell goods that have an alternative use, or customers with whom we do not have an enforceable right to payment with no alternative use, shipments and net sales are identical performance measures.

 

We believe that sales recorded under ASC 606 are affected by changes in the Company’s purchasing patterns that may not be directly aligned with customer demand. We believe that shipments, as a supplemental performance measure, tracks customer demand more closely.

 

Shipments is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for sales determined in accordance with GAAP. Shipments is used as a measurement of customer demand and we believe it to be a helpful measure for those evaluating performance of a company operating in the uniform and promotionalrelated products businesses.business. However, there are limitations to the use of this non-GAAP financial measure. Our non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not engage in any off-balance sheet financing arrangements. In particular, the Company does not have any interest in variable interest entities, which include special purpose entities and structured finance entities.

 

ITEM 3.          Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We are subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates on our debt. Interest on our Credit Facilities are based upon the one-month LIBOR rate. In order to reduce the interest rate risk on our debt, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a portion of its borrowings. Excluding the effect of the interest rate swap agreement, a hypothetical increase in the LIBOR rate of 100 basis points as of January 1, 20192020 would have resulted in approximately $0.6$0.3 million in additional pre-tax interest expense for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. See Note 23 to the Financial Statements.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

 

Sales to clientscustomers outside of the United States are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may negatively impact gross margin realized on our sales. Approximately 1%Less than 5% of our sales are outside of the United States. We cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on our operating results. In certain cases, we may enter into foreign currency cash flow hedges to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with our sales and expenses denominated in foreign currency. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had no foreign currency exchange hedging contracts. There can be no assurance that our strategies will adequately protect our operating results from the effect of exchange rate fluctuations.

 

Financial results of our foreign subsidiaries in the Promotional Products segment are denominated in their local currencies, which include the Hong Kong dollar, the Chinese renminbi, the British pound, the Indian rupee, and the Brazilian real. ChangesThese operations may also have net assets and liabilities not denominated in their functional currency, which exposes us to changes in foreign currency exchange rates that impact income. Excluding intercompany payables and receivables considered to be long-term investments, changes in exchange rates for intercompany payablesassets and receivablesliabilities not considered to be long-termdenominated in their functional currency, are reported as foreign currency gains (losses) within selling and administrative expenses in our statements of comprehensive income. During the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, foreign currency losses were not significant. We also have exposure to foreign currency exchange risk from the translation of foreign subsidiaries from the local currency into the U.S. dollar. Comprehensive income during the three months ended March 31, 2020 included a foreign currency translation adjustment loss of $1.2 million primarily related to exchange rate movements of the Brazilian real.

Demott, Jr., of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information the Company is required to disclose in its filings with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.1.        Legal Proceedings

 

We are a party to certain lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

ITEM 1A.1A.     Risk Factors

 

We are exposed to certain risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results. ThereExcept as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in Part I, Item 1A-Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

Our business has been adversely affected and could in the future be materially adversely impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

COVID-19 has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The global spread of COVID-19 has created significant volatility and uncertainty and economic disruption. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including, without limitation: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and will be taken in response to the pandemic (including restrictions on travel and transport and workforce pressures); the effect on our suppliers and customers and customer demand for our products and services; the effect on our sources of supply; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and actions taken in response; closures of our and our suppliers’ and customers’ offices and facilities; the ability of our customers to pay for our products and services; financial market volatility; commodity prices; and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides. 

The spreading of COVID-19 that is impacting global economic activity and market conditions could lead to changes in customer purchasing patterns. We have begun to see disruptions in our customers’ businesses, including, but not limited to, our customers’ willingness and ability to spend, layoffs and furloughs of our customers’ employees, and temporary or permanent closures of businesses that consume our products and services. Prolonged periods of difficult conditions could have material adverse impacts on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

24

The majority of the principal fabrics used in the manufacture of products within the Uniform and Related Products segment are sourced in China and the vast majority of raw materials used in our Promotional Products segment are predominantly sourced from China, either directly by BAMKO or its suppliers. If we are unable to continue to obtain affordable raw materials and finished products from China or if our suppliers are unable to source affordable raw materials from China, it could significantly disrupt our business. A prolonged pandemic, or the threat thereof, could significantly disrupt our product sourcing, which in turn, could significantly disrupt our business.

The potential effects of COVID-19 also could impact us in a number of other ways, including, but not limited to, reductions to our revenue and profitability, costs associated with complying with new or amended laws and regulations affecting our business, further declines in our stock price, reduced availability and less favorable terms of future borrowings, valuation of our pension assets and obligations, reduced credit-worthiness of our customers, and potential impairment of the carrying value of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets. 

Any of these events could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

 

ITEM 2.2.         Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
