NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except share(unless (unless otherwise stated), per share and option amounts)


 

 

1.1.CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity as of NovemberAugust 29, 2020, 2021, the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings for the 13 weeks and 3926 weeks ended NovemberAugust 29, 2021 and August 30, 2020, and December 1, 2019, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the 3926 weeks then ended have been prepared by Park Aerospace Corp. (the “Company”), without audit. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at NovemberAugust 29, 2020 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented.  The Consolidated Statements of Operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any subsequent interim period.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2020. February 28, 2021.  There have been no significant changes to such accounting policies during the 3926 weeks ended NovemberAugust 29, 2020.2021.

 

 

2.2.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

Fair value measurements are broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals or current market) and contractual prices for the underlying financial instrument, as well as other relevant economic measures.

 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

89

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature. Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. On a recurring basis, the Company records its marketable securities at fair value using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs inputs. (See Note 3)3).

 

The Company’s non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill and any long-lived assets written down to fair value. To measure fair value of such assets, the Company uses Level 3 inputs consisting of techniques including an income approach and a market approach. The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow analysis and calculates the fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis require the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates, terminal values, growth rates and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. With respect to goodwill, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that fair value is less than carrying value. If, based on that assessment, the Company believes it is more likely than not that fair value is less than carrying value, a goodwill impairment test is performed. There have been no changes in events or circumstances which required impairment charges to be recorded during the 13 weeks and 3926 weeks ended NovemberAugust 29, 2020.2021.

 

 

3.3.MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 

All marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in comprehensive earnings. Realized gains and losses, amortization of premiums and discounts, and interest and dividend income are included in interest and other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The costs of securities sold are based on the specific identification method.

5.LEASES LEASES

 

The Company has operating leases related to land, office space, warehouse space and equipment. All of the Company’s leases have been assessed to be operating leases. Renewal options are included in the lease term to the extent the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The incremental borrowing rate represents the Company’s ability to borrow on a collateralized basis over a term similar to the lease term. The leases typically contain renewal options for periods ranging from one year to ten years and require the Company to pay real estate taxes and other operating costs. The latest land lease expiration is 2068 assuming exercise of all applicable renewal options by the Company. The Company’s existing leases are not subject to any restrictions or covenants which preclude its ability to pay dividends, obtain financing or exercise its available renewal options.

 

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases as of NovemberAugust 29, 2020 2021 are as follows:

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The above payment schedule does not include lease payments of $142 for the Company’s idle facility in Singapore that have been accrued on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accrued liabilities.

 

For the 13 weeks and 3926 weeks ended NovemberAugust 29, 2020, 2021, the Company’s operating lease expense was $40expenses were $14 and $120,$29, respectively. Cash payments of $114,$25, pertaining to operating leases, are reflected in the cash flow statement under cash flows from operating activities.

In December 2018, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Park Aerospace Technologies Corp. (“PATC”)Company entered into a Development Agreement with the City of Newton, Kansas and the Board of County Commissioners of Harvey County, Kansas. Pursuant to this agreement, PATCthe Company agreed to construct and operate an additional manufacturing facility of approximately 90,000 square feet in size for the design, development and manufacture of advanced composite materials and parts, structures and assemblies for aerospace. PATCThe Company further agreed to equip the facility through the purchase of machinery, equipment and furnishings and to create additional new full-time employment of specified levels during a five-yearfive-year period. In exchange for these agreements, the City and the County agreed to lease to PATC the Company three acres of land at the Newton, City/CountyKansas Airport, in addition to the eight acres previously leased to PATCthe Company by the City and County. The City and the County further agreed to provide financial and other assistance toward the construction of the additional facility as set forth in the Development Agreement. The Company estimates the total cost of the additional facility to be approximately $18.0 million,$19,100, and the Company expects to complete the construction of the additional facility in the second half of the 2021 calendar year. As of NovemberAugust 29, 2020, 2021, the Company had $1,033$889 in equipment purchase obligations and $12,390$17,131 of construction-in-progress related to the additional facility. On July 16, 2019, PATC was merged into the Company and ceased to exist, and the Company assumed the rights and obligations of PATC, including the rights and obligations of PATC under the Development Agreement.

 

 

6.6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

As of NovemberAugust 29, 2020, 2021, the Company had a 2018 Stock Option Plan (the “2018“2018 Plan”) and no other stock-based compensation plan. The 2018 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 8, 2018 and approved by the shareholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company on July 24, 2018 and provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 800,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Prior to the 2018 Plan, the Company had the 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “2002“2002 Plan”) which had alsobeen approved by the Company’s shareholders and provided for the grant of stock options to purchase sharesdirectors and key employees of the Company. All options granted under the 2018 Plan and 2002 Plan have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock of the Company at the time of grant which, pursuant to the terms of such Plans, is the reported closing price of the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date preceding the date the option is granted. Options granted under the Plans become exercisable 25% one year after the date of grant, with an additional 25% exercisable each succeeding anniversary of the date of grant, and expire 10 years after the date of grant. Upon termination of employment or service as a director, all options held by the optionee that have not previously become exercisable shall terminate and all other options held by such optionee may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of such termination, for a limited time after such termination. Any shares of common stock subject to an option under the 2018 Plan, which expireexpires or areis terminated unexercised as to such shares, shall again become available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.

The 2002 Plan terminated on May 21, 2018, and authority to grant additional options under the 2002 Plan expired on that date. All options granted under the 2002 Plan will expire in April 2028 or earlier.

 

During the 13 weeks and 3926 weeks ended NovemberAugust 29, 2020, 2021, the Company granted options under the 2018 Plan to purchase a total of 0 and 132,100, respectively,142,250 shares of common stock to its directors and certain of its employees. The future compensation expense to be recognized in earnings before income taxes is $273$396 and will be recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The weighted average fair value of the granted options was $2.12$2.78 per share using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 0.23%-0.42%0.74%-1.28%; expected volatility factor of 26.9%-30.0%29.0%-29.2%; expected dividend yield of 3.18%-3.49%2.73%-2.90%; and estimated option term of 4.3-7.64.4-7.6 years.

12

 

The risk-free interest rates were based on U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the estimated terms of the options at the date of the grant. Volatility factors were based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected dividend yields were based on the regular quarterly cash dividend per share most recently declared by the Company and on the exercise price of the options granted during the 13 weeks and 3926 weeks ended NovemberAugust 29, 2020. 2021. The estimated term of the options was based on evaluations of the historical and expected future employee exercise behavior.

7.7.EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the sum of (a) the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and (b) the potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Stock options are the only potentially dilutive securities; and the number of dilutive options is computed using the treasury stock method.

12.13.CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

The Company is subject to a small number of immaterial proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to environmental, employment, product and other matters. The Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes in these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after careful analysis of each individual issue. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach, such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of such proceedings, lawsuits and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, capital resources, business, consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company.

 

Environmental Contingencies

 

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named by the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) or a comparable state agency under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (the “Superfund Act”) or similar state law as potentially responsible parties in connection with alleged releases of hazardous substances at three sites.

16

 

Under the Superfund Act and similar state laws, all parties who may have contributed any waste to a hazardous waste disposal site or contaminated area identified by the EPA or comparable state agency may be jointly and severally liable for the cost of cleanup. Generally, these sites are locations at which numerous persons disposed of hazardous waste. In the case of the Company’s subsidiaries, generally the waste was removed from their manufacturing facilities and disposed at waste sites by various companies which contracted with the subsidiaries to provide waste disposal services. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiariessub‐sidiaries have been accused of or charged with any wrongdoing or illegal acts in connection with any such sites. The Company believes it maintains an effective and comprehensive environmental compliance program.

 

17

The insurance carriers which provided general liability insurance coverage to the Company and its subsidiaries for the years duringdur‐ing which the Company’s subsidiaries’ waste was disposed at these three sites have in the past reimbursed the Company and its subsidiaries for 100% of their legal defense and remediation costs associated with two2 of these sites.

 

The Company does not record environmental liabilities and related legal expenses for which the Company believes that it and its subsidiaries have general liability insurance coverage for the years during which the Company’s subsidiaries’ waste was disposed at two sites for which certain subsidiaries of the Company have been named as potentially responsible parties. Pursuant to such general liability insurance coverage, three3 insurance carriers reimburse the Company and its subsidiaries for 100% of the legal defense and remediation costs associated with the two sites.

 

Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are charges for actual expenditures and accruals, based on estimates, for certain environmental mattersmat‐ters described above. The Company accrues estimated costs associatedasso‐ciated with known environmental matters when such costs can be reasonably estimated and when the outcome appears probable. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of known environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

 

13. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS14. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Recently AdoptedAdopted

 

In August 2018, December 2019, the Financial Accounting StandardsStandard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): DisclosureFramework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of such transfers. This ASU expands the disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements, primarily focused on changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income (loss). This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending February 28, 2021 and for the interim periods within that year. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of its 2021 fiscal year. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

17

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU improves financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending February 28, 2021 and for the interim periods within that year. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of its 2021 fiscal year. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recently Issued

In December 2019 the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, -12,Income Taxes (Topic 740)740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.Taxes. The changes simplify the accounting for a number of topics, some of which are narrow. Some of the proposed amendments eliminate specific exceptions to the general principles of income tax accounting while other changes clarify a handful of narrow issues within the broad topic of income tax accounting. The amendments in ASU 2019-122019-12 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted forfor: (1) public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued.issued, and (2) all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluatingadopted this ASU in the potentialfirst quarter of the 2022 fiscal year. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact of adopting this guidance on itsthe Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

14.COVID-19 PANDEMIC

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported in Wuhan, China and has since spread worldwide, including to the United States, posing public health risks that have reached pandemic proportions (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”).

The COVID-19 Pandemic and resultant global economic crisis had significant impacts on the Company’s results of operations and cash flow for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended November 29, 2020. The COVID-19 Pandemic and crisis had significant impacts on the markets the Company sells into, particularly the commercial and business aircraft markets. As a result, the Company has experienced a significant reduction in sales and backlog.

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

 

General:

 

Park Aerospace Corp. (“Park” or the “Company”) develops and manufactures solution and hot-melt advanced composite materials used to produce composite structures for the global aerospace markets. ThesePark’s advanced composite materials include film adhesives (undergoing development) and lightning strike protection materials. Park offers an array of composite materials specifically designed for hand lay-up or automated fiber placement (“AFP”) manufacturing applications.

Financial Overview

 

The Company's total net sales from continuing operations in the 13 weeks and 3926 weeks ended NovemberAugust 29, 20202021 were $10.4$13.6 million and $31.8$27.2 million, respectively, compared to $15.8$9.3 million and $44.5$21.5 million, respectively, in the 13 weeks and 3926 weeks ended December 1, 2019.August 30, 2020. The increases in sales were primarily due to improving sales for the commercial and business aircraft markets. 

 

The Company’s gross profit margins from continuing operations, measured as percentages of sales, were 24.6%32.4% and 27.8%36.3%, respectively, in the 13 weeks and 3926 weeks ended NovemberAugust 29, 20202021 compared to 31.7%28.5% and 30.6%29.4%, respectively, in the 13 weeks and 3926 weeks ended December 1, 2019.August 30, 2020. The higher gross profit margin for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 29, 2021 was primarily due to the higher sales compared to last year’s comparable periods and a favorable sales mix of high margin products.

 

The Company’s earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and net earnings from continuing operations decreased 63.7%increased 76.4% and 63.0%75.7%, respectively, in the 13 weeks ended NovemberAugust 29, 20202021 compared to the 13 weeks ended December 1, 2019August 30, 2020 primarily as a result of lowerhigher sales and lower interest income, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses and a lower tax provisioninterest income compared to last year’s comparable period.

 

The Company’s earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and net earnings from continuing operations decreased 45.4%increased 57.0% and 45.1%52.6%, respectively, in the 3926 weeks ended NovemberAugust 29, 20202021 compared to the 3926 weeks ended December 1, 2019August 30, 2020 primarily as a result of lowerhigher sales and lower interest income,a favorable sales mix of high margin products in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses and a lower tax provisioninterest income compared to last year’s comparable period.

The Company is experiencing inflation in raw material and other costs. The impact of inflation on the Company’s profits has been partially mitigated by the Company’s ability to adjust pricing for most of its sales to pass the impact of inflation through to its customers.

19

With the recovery of the aerospace markets, some companies in the aerospace supply chain may not be fully prepared to ramp up their production as quickly as needed, which may create a risk to the Company of not getting enough raw materials on a timely basis to fully support our customers’ demands. Additionally, some shipments from overseas suppliers are experiencing transportation delays due to a lack of available containers and a backlog at incoming ports of entry. Delays of overseas shipments of raw materials is having a small impact on the Company’s production levels. Delays in raw material shipments continue to represent a risk to the Company.

 

The Company has a long-term contract pursuant to which one of its customers, which represents a substantial portion of the Company’s revenue, places orders. The long-term contract with the customer is requirements based and does not guarantee quantities.  An order forecast and pricing were agreed upon in the contract. However, this order forecast is updated periodically during the term of the contract. Purchase orders generally are received by the Company in excess of three months in advance of delivery by the Company to the customer.

 

19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported in Wuhan, China and has since spread worldwide, including to the United States, posing public health risks that have reached pandemic proportions (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”).

 

The COVID-19 Pandemic and resultant global economic crisis had significant impacts on the Company’s results of operations and cash flow for the quarter13 weeks and 26 weeks ended November 29,August 30, 2020. The COVID-19 Pandemic and crisis had significant impacts on the markets the Company sells into, particularly the commercial and business aircraft markets. As a result, the Company hashad experienced a significant reductionreductions in sales and backlog.backlog during those periods. The Company continues to experience the impacts related to raw material availability and costs.

 

Even after the COVID-19 Pandemic has subsided, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of the potential continuing impact of the economic crisis on the markets the Company serves.
