Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “target,” “plan” or other comparable words, or by discussions of strategy that may involve risks and uncertainties.

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties with respect to: the impact of the ~~novel coronavirus (COVID-19)~~COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and ~~liquidity; the Company’s ability to regain compliance with the New York Stock Exchange’s continued listing standards; the Company’s leverage;~~liquidity, including, without limitation, supply chain and logistics issues; liabilities and restrictions imposed by the Company’s debt ~~instruments;~~instruments, including the Company’s ability to comply with the applicable financial covenants related thereto; market demand; competitive factors; supply ~~constraints;~~constraints and shipping disruptions; material, logistics and energy ~~costs;~~costs, including the increased material costs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; technology factors; litigation; government and regulatory actions including the impact of any tariffs, quotas, or surcharges; the Company’s accounting policies; future trends; general economic and currency conditions; various conditions specific to the Company’s business and industry; the success of the Company’s action plan, including the actual amount of savings and timing thereof; the success of the Company’s business improvement initiatives in Europe-Africa, including the amount of savings and timing thereof; the Company’s exposure to product liability claims from customers and end users, and the costs associated therewith; ~~the Company’s ability to meet its covenants in the agreements governing its debt;~~ factors affecting the Company’s business that are outside of its control, including natural disasters, pandemics, including the current COVID-19 pandemic, accidents and governmental actions; and other risks that are discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ~~year~~twelve months ended December 31, ~~2019, as well as in Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission .~~2020. The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K ~~and other periodic reports~~ are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations or cash flows.

The cautionary statements set forth above should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect the Company. We do not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as otherwise required by law.

We disclose important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations implied by our forward-looking statements under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and elsewhere in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ~~year~~twelve months ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributed to us or persons acting on our behalf. When we indicate that an event, condition or circumstance could or would have an adverse effect on us, we mean to include effects upon our business, financial and other conditions, results of operations, prospects and ability to service our debt.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Horizon Global Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Horizon,” “Horizon Global,” “we,” or the “Company”) are a ~~global~~leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of a wide variety of high quality, custom-engineered towing, trailering, cargo management and other related ~~accessories.~~accessory products, primarily in the North American, European and African markets. These products are designed to support aftermarket, automotive original equipment manufacturers (“automotive OEMs”) and automotive original equipment servicers (“automotive OESs”) (collectively, “OEs”), ~~aftermarket~~retail, e-commerce and ~~retail~~industrial customers within the agricultural, automotive, construction, horse/livestock, industrial, marine, military, recreational, trailer and utility markets. The Company groups its business into operating segments generally by the region in which sales and manufacturing efforts are focused. ~~As a result of the Company’s sale of its Horizon Asia-Pacific operating segment (“APAC”) in 2019, the~~The Company’s operating segments are Horizon Americas and Horizon Europe-Africa. See Note ~~17,~~14, Segment Information, for further information on each of the Company’s operating segments. ~~Historical information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the classification of APAC as discontinued operations. Discontinued operations are further discussed in Note 3,~~ ~~Discontinued Operations~~.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the USU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and 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~~twelve months ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“USU.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. It is management’s opinion that these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

USU.S. GAAP requires usthe Company to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. Management believes that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions made when accounting for items and matters such as, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales incentives, sales returns, impairment ~~assessments,~~assessment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, recoverability of long-lived assets, income taxes (including deferred taxes and uncertain tax positions), share-based compensation, the assessment of lower of cost or net realizable value on inventory, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, and depreciation and amortization, are reasonable based on information available at the time they are made.

The full extent and impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic remains unknown. However, we have made appropriate accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, our consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In ~~March 2020,~~May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance on modifications or exchanges of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of other accounting standards. Under this guidance, an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. ASU 2021-04 provides further guidance on measuring the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” (“ASC 470-20”) for convertible instruments. Under ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. For smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. We are currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or ~~recognizing~~recognize the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The relief provided by this guidance is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform initiatives being undertaken in an effort to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. The optional amendments of this guidance are effective for all entities upon adoption. We are currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss model guidance with a new method that reflects expected credit losses. Under this guidance, an entity would recognize an ~~impairment~~ allowance for credit losses equal to its estimate of expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. In November 2019, the FASB extended the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies. As a result, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting pronouncements recently adopted

~~3. Discontinued Operations~~

~~On September 19, 2019,~~There were no new accounting pronouncements adopted during the Company completed the sale of its subsidiaries that comprised APAC to Hayman Pacific BidCo Pty Ltd., an affiliate of Pacific Equity Partners, for $209.6 million in net cash proceeds after payment of transaction costs, in a net debt free sale. The sale resulted in the recognition of a gain of $180.5 million, of which $17.3 million was related to the cumulative translation adjustment that was reclassified to earnings, which is reflected within the income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes line of the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, refer to Note 4, ~~Discontinued Operations,~~ ~~in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.~~

In the first quarter of 2020, the remaining post-closing conditions of the sale were completed, including a true up to net cash proceeds, for which we recognized a loss on sale of discontinued operations of $0.5 million.

4.3. Revenues

~~Revenue Recognition~~

The Company disaggregates ~~revenue~~net sales from contracts with customers by major sales channel. The Company determined that disaggregating ~~revenue~~its net sales into these categories best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The automotive OEM channel represents sales to automotive vehicle manufacturers. The automotive OES channel primarily represents sales to automotive vehicle dealerships. The aftermarket channel represents sales to automotive installers and warehouse distributors. The retail channel represents sales to direct-to-consumer retailers. The e-commerce channel represents sales to retailers whose customers utilize the Internet to purchase the Company’s products. The industrial channel represents sales to non-automotive manufacturers and dealers of agricultural equipment, trailers, and other custom assemblies. ~~The e-commerce channel represents sales to direct-to-consumer retailers who utilize the Internet to purchase the Company’s products.~~ The other channel represents sales that do not fit into a category described above and these sales are considered ancillary to the Company’s core operating activities.

5.4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

During the six months June 30, 2020, the Company experienced a decline in its current and projected future operating and financial performance as well as pressure on its near-term financial forecasts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related wide-ranging actions taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to combat the pandemic and spread of COVID-19 in regions across the United States and the world. These actions include quarantines, social distancing and “stay-at-home” orders, travel restrictions, mandatory business closures, and other mandates that have substantially restricted individuals’ daily activities and curtailed or ceased many businesses’ normal operations. In response to the pandemic and these actions, we had adhered to geographical government shutdowns and operating restrictions for our facilities, which resulted in an adverse impact to our business and financial performance in the first half of 2020, as well as on our near-term projected financial performance. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company identified an indicator of impairment on its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in its Horizon Americas reporting unit and on its indefinite-lived intangible assets in its Horizon Europe-Africa reporting unit in the first quarter of 2020.

As a result of the indicator, the Company performed an interim quantitative impairment assessment of the goodwill recorded for the Horizon Americas reporting unit as of March 31, 2020, by considering the market and income approaches. The results of the quantitative analysis performed indicated the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. Key assumptions used in the analysis were a discount rate of 14.0%, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) margin and a terminal growth rate of 3.0%. The primary driver in the reduction of the fair value of the reporting unit was a reduction of expected future cash flows during the remainder of 2020 as the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain. Future events and changing market conditions, including operating restrictions may, however, lead the Company to re-evaluate the assumptions that have been used to test for goodwill impairment, including key assumptions used in the expected Adjusted EBITDA margins, cash flows and discount rate, as well as other assumptions with respect to matters outside of the Company’s control, such as currency rates and the aforementioned geographical government shutdowns and operating restrictions.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Horizon Global before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and before certain items, as applicable, such as severance, restructuring, relocation and related business disruption costs, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, non-cash stock compensation, certain product liability recall and litigation claims, acquisition and integration costs, gains (losses) on business divestitures and other assets, board transition support and non-cash unrealized foreign currency remeasurement costs.

In addition, as a result of the indicator of impairment identified, the Company performed an interim impairment assessment of its indefinite-lived intangible assets as of March 31, 2020 in the Horizon Americas and Horizon Europe-Africa operating segments. Based on the results of our analyses, the estimated fair values of the trade names exceeded the carrying values. Key assumptions used in the analyses were a discount rate of 14.5% and royalty rates ranging from 0.5% to 1.9%.

The Company will continues to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and financial performance and any other indicators of potential impairment. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, our operations began to stabilize in response to customer demand, as the jurisdictions where we conduct operations began to reduce business operating restrictions. However, it is possible that if the jurisdictions where the Company does business, or those of its customers, experience additional or future operating restrictions, a decline in results may become more than temporary, and future indicators of impairment may be identified. This may result in a future interim impairment analysis being necessary, which could result in a future impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill ~~for the six months ended June 30, 2020~~ are ~~summarized~~ as follows:

(“Atlantic Park”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”).

Pursuant to the Senior Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company issued warrants (the “Senior Term Loan Warrants”) to Atlantic Park to purchase in the aggregate up to 3,905,486 shares of the Company’s common stock, with an exercise price of $9.00 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Senior Term Loan Warrants.

In accordance with guidance in ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, the Senior Term Loan Credit Agreement and the Senior Term Loan Warrants are each freestanding instruments and proceeds were allocated to each instrument on a relative fair value basis of $82.4 million and $17.6 million, respectively.

The Senior Term Loan Warrants are not within the scope of ASC 480 and do not meet the criteria for liability classification. However, the Senior Term Loan Warrants are determined to be indexed to the Company’s common stock and meet the requirements for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The $17.6 million allocated to the Senior Term Loan Warrants was determined using an option pricing method and is recorded in common stock warrants in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Convertible Notes

In February 2017, the Company completed a public offering of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million. Interest is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on July 1, 2017. The Convertible Notes are convertible into 5,005,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, based on an initial conversion price of $24.98 per share. The Convertible Notes will mature on July 1, 2022 unless earlier converted. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions (the “Convertible Note Hedges”) in privately negotiated transactions with certain of the underwriters or their affiliates (in this capacity, the “option counterparties”). The Convertible Note Hedges provide the Company with the option to acquire, on a net settlement basis, 5,005,000 shares of its common stock, which is equal to the number of shares of common stock that notionally underlie the Convertible Notes, at a strike price of $24.98, which corresponds to the conversion price of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Note Hedges have an expiration date that is the same as the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, subject to earlier exercise. The Convertible Note Hedges have customary anti-dilution provisions similar to the Convertible Notes.

During the second quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, no conditions allowing holders of the Convertible Notes to convert have been met. Therefore, the Convertible Notes were not convertible during the second quarter of ~~2020~~2021 and are classified as long-term debt. Should conditions allowing holders of the Convertible Notes to convert be met in a future quarter, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at their holders’ option during the immediately following quarter. As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the if-converted value of the Convertible Notes did not exceed the principal value of those Convertible Notes.

Upon conversion by the holders, the Company may elect to settle such conversion in shares of its common stock, cash, or a combination thereof. Because the Company may elect to settle conversion in cash, the Company separated the Convertible Notes into their liability and equity components by allocating the issuance proceeds to each of those components in accordance with ASC 470-20~~“Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options.”~~. The Company first determined the fair value of the liability component by estimating the value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component. The Company then deducted that amount from the issuance proceeds to arrive at a residual amount, which represents the equity component. The Company accounted for the equity component as a debt discount (with an offset to paid-in capital in excess of par value). The debt discount created by the equity component is being amortized as additional non-cash interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the Convertible Notes ending on July 1, 2022.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized total interest expense of $2.7 million and $5.3 million and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized total interest expense of $2.5 million and $5.1 million, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The interest expense recognized consists of contractual interest coupon, amortization of debt discount and amortization of debt issuance costs on the Convertible Notes, and is as follows:

In April 2020, Horizon Global Company LLC (the ~~“US~~“U.S. Borrower”), a direct ~~US-based~~U.S.-based subsidiary of the Company, received a loan from PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) for $8.7 million, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The PPP Loan, which is in the form of a ~~Note~~note dated April 18, 2020 issued by the USU.S. Borrower, matures on April 18, 2022. ~~The PPP Loan bears interest at 1.0% per annum and is payable monthly commencing on November 15, 2020.~~ Funds from the PPP Loan may be used for payroll, costs used to continue group health care benefits, rent and utilities.

~~10. Derivative Instruments~~

~~Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk~~

In the past, the Company has used foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk associated with fluctuations in currency rates impacting cash flows related to certain payments for contract manufacturing in its lower-cost manufacturing facilities. The foreign currency forward contracts hedged currency exposure between the Mexican peso and the US dollar and matured at specified monthly settlement dates through December 2019. At inception, the Company designated the foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges. Upon the performance of contract manufacturing or purchase of certain inventories the Company de-designated the foreign currency forward contracts.

On October 4, 2016, the Company entered into a cross currency swap arrangement to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company used the cross currency swap to mitigate the risk associated with fluctuations in currency rates impacting cash flows related to a non-functional currency intercompany loan of €110.0 million. The cross currency swap hedged currency exposure between the euro and the US dollar and matured on January 3, 2019 with a liability of $2.5 million. The Company entered into forward contracts to settle the cross currency swap, which resulted in a $0.9 million offset to the liability. These settlements resulted in a net realized gain reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) of $0.6 million. The Company made quarterly principal payments of €1.4 million, plus interest at a fixed rate of 5.4% per annum, in exchange for $1.5 million, plus interest at a fixed rate of 7.2% per annum during the term of the cross currency swap arrangement. At inception, the Company designated the cross currency swap as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the currency rate resulted in reclassification of amounts from AOCI to earnings to offset the re-measurement gain or loss on the non-US denominated intercompany loan.

The Company’s restructuring activities are undertaken as necessary to execute management’s strategy and streamline operations, consolidate and take advantage of available capacity and resources, and ultimately achieve productivity improvements and net cost reductions. The Company's restructuring charges consist primarily of employee costs (principally severance and/or termination benefits) and facility closure and other costs.

To the extent these programs involve voluntary separations, no liabilities are generally recorded until offers to employees are accepted. If employees are involuntarily terminated, a liability is generally recorded at the communication date. Estimates of restructuring charges are based on information available at the time such charges are recorded. Related charges are recorded in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ~~The Company’s financing leases are immaterial.~~

Most leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at the Company’s sole discretion; therefore, the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in the Company’s right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, the Company includes the renewal period in the lease term. The Company combines lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component as the Company has elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components for all leases.

~~As most~~ The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Refer to Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Company’s ~~leases do not provide an implicit rate,~~Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments.

For purposes of determining diluted ~~earnings (loss)~~loss per share, the Company has elected a policy to assume that the principal portion of the Convertible Notes, as described in Note 9,8, Long-term Debt, is settled in cash and the conversion premium is settled in shares. Therefore, the Company has adopted a policy of calculating the diluted ~~earnings (loss)~~loss per share effect of the Convertible Notes using the treasury stock method. As a result, the dilutive effect of the Convertible Notes is limited to the conversion premium, which is reflected in the calculation of diluted loss per share as if it were a freestanding written call option

on the Company’s shares. Using the treasury stock method, the ~~Warrants~~warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes are considered to be dilutive when they are in the money relative to the Company’s average common stock price during the period. The Convertible Note Hedges purchased in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes are always considered to be anti-dilutive and therefore do not impact the Company’s calculation of diluted ~~earnings (loss)~~loss per share.

Description of the Plans

Horizon employees and non-employee directors participate in the Horizon Global Corporation 2015 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended and restated, the “Horizon 2015 Plan”).

These shares may be shares of original issuance or treasury shares, or a combination of both.

Prior to the Horizon 2020 Plan, employees and non-employee directors participated in the Horizon Global Corporation 2015 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended and restated, the “Horizon 2015 Plan”). The Horizon 2015 Plan authorized the Compensation Committee of the Horizon Board of Directors to grant stock options (including “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code), restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance stock units, cash incentive awards, and certain other awards based on or related to our common stock to Horizon employees and non-employee directors.

Restricted ~~Shares~~Stock Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted an aggregate of 524,711 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain key employees and non-employee directors. The total grants consisted of: (i) 83,482 RSUs that vested during the period, (ii) 153,563 time-based RSUs vesting on a ratable basis on March 1, 2022, March 1, 2023 and March 1, 2024, (iii) 230,350 PSUs vesting on April 1, 2024 and (iv) 57,316 time-based RSUs vesting on May 28, 2022.

The total grants consisted of: (i) 284,859 time-based ~~restricted stock units~~RSUs vesting on a ratable basis on March 3, 2021, March 3, 2022 and March 3, 2023; (ii) 277,228 time-based ~~restricted stock units~~RSUs vesting on June 24, 2021; (iii) 21,351 time-based ~~restricted stock units~~RSUs vesting on a ratable basis on April 2, 2021, March 3, 2022 and March 3, 2023 and (iv) 918,634 ~~performance stock units that vest~~PSUs vesting on March 3, ~~2023 (the “2020 PSUs”).~~2023.

The performance criteria for the ~~2020~~ PSUs granted is based on the Company’s three-year cumulative EBITDA. The grant date fair values for the ~~performance stock units~~PSUs and ~~restricted stock units granted during 2020~~ RSUs are based on the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

During 2019, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,950,296 restricted stock units and performance stock units to certain key employees. The total grants consisted of: (i) 353,592 time-based restricted stock units that vest on May 15, 2020; (ii) 27,840 time-based restricted stock units that vest on September 10, 2020; (iii) 245,134 time-based restricted stock units that vest on September 19, 2020; (iv) 25,000 time-based restricted stock units that vest on November 13, 2020; (v) 25,000 time-based restricted stock units that vest on December 9, 2020; (vi) 5,000 time-based restricted stock units that vest on May 15, 2021; (vii) 411,373 time-based restricted stock units that vest on March 19, 2022 and (viii) 857,357 market-based performance stock units (the “2019 PSUs”), of which 757,357 vest on March 19, 2022 with the remaining 100,000 vesting on a ratable basis on September 23, 2020, September 23, 2021 and September 23, 2022.

For the 2019 PSUs, the performance criteria for the market-based performance stock units is based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR of the common stock of a pre-defined industry peer group. TSR is measured over a period beginning January 1, 2019 and ending December 31, 2021. TSR is calculated as the Company’s average closing stock price for the 20-trading days at the end of the performance period plus Company dividends, divided by the Company’s average closing stock price for the 20-trading days prior to the start of the performance period. Depending on the performance achieved, the amount of shares earned can vary from 0% of the target award to a maximum of 200% of the target award. The Company estimated the grant-date fair value of the awards subject to a market condition using a Monte Carlo simulation model, using the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 2.43% and annualized volatility of 84.1%. The grant date fair value of the p~~erformance stock units was~~ ~~$3.69.~~

The grant date fair value of rRSUs ~~estricted stock units~~ is expensed over the vesting period. ~~Restricted stock unit fair values are based on the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.~~ Changes in the number of ~~restricted shares~~RSUs outstanding for the ~~period~~six months ended June 30, ~~2020 were~~2021 are as follows:

14. Segment Information

The Company groups its business into operating segments generally by the region in which sales and manufacturing efforts are focused, which are grouped on the basis of similar product, market and operating factors. Each operating segment has discrete financial information evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in determining resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company reports the results of its business in 2 operating segments: Horizon Americas and Horizon Europe-Africa. Horizon Americas is comprised of the Company’s North American operations, and prior to the Brazil Sale also included the Company’s South American operations.

15. Income Taxes

At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate. Tax items included in the annual effective income tax rate are pro-rated for the full year and tax items discrete to a specific quarter are included in the effective income tax rate for that quarter. Effective tax rates vary from period to period as separate calculations are performed for those countries where the Company's operations are profitable and whose results continue to be tax-effected and for those countries where full deferred tax valuation allowances exist and are maintained. In determining the estimated annual effective tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including but not limited to, forecasts of projected annual earnings, taxing jurisdictions in which the pretax income and/or pretax losses will be generated, available tax planning strategies.

~~The~~During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the effective income tax rate was 59.3% and (20.4)%, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective income tax rate was (0.5)% and (0.2)% ~~for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,~~, respectively. The ~~effective income tax rate was 8.5% and 3.1% for~~differences in the ~~three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The 2020 lower~~ effective tax rate compared to the statutory tax rate is attributable to the valuation allowance recorded in the USU.S. and several foreign jurisdictions, which resulted in no income tax benefit recognized for jurisdictional pretax ~~losses.~~

losses, and therefore, are excluded from the estimated effective tax rate.

The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance is necessary. Full valuation allowances that are recorded for deferred tax assets in the USU.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to reduce or eliminate them. The factors considered by management in its determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to, recent historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, tax planning strategies. If, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. The Company has recently experienced pre-tax losses. As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the recorded deferred tax assets will be realized.

On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the CARES Act to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is currently evaluating how the CARES Act provisions will impact our consolidated financial statements, but is not currently projecting significant impacts on its income tax provision based on its domestic valuation allowance and historical operating performance.

~~20. Subsequent Events~~

~~Limited Consent to Loan and Security Agreement~~

On July 3, 2020, the Company entered into a limited consent to the Loan Agreement with Encina, that consented to the Company’s entering into the 2020 Replacement Term Loan Amendment, as defined and described below.

~~Amendment to Term Loan Credit Agreement~~

On July 6, 2020, the Company entered into the 2020 Replacement Term Loan Amendment (the “Eleventh Term Amendment”) to amend the Term Loan Agreement. The Eleventh Term Amendment provided replacement term loans (the “Replacement Term Loans”) that refinanced and replaced the outstanding balances under the First Lien Term Loan Agreement and Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, plus any accrued interest thereon. The interest on the Replacement Term Loans will be payable at LIBOR plus 10.75% per annum, subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor, of which 4.00% shall be payable in cash and LIBOR plus 6.75% shall be payable-in-kind (PIK) interest (provided that the Company may elect on not more than one occasion to pay all interest as PIK interest). Borrowings under the Eleventh Term Amendment mature on the earlier of: (i) June 30, 2022 and (ii) April 1, 2022 if the Convertible Notes, as defined in Note 9, ~~Long-term Debt~~, are not repaid or otherwise discharged prior to such date. Additionally, the Eleventh Term Amendment provided for a 1.00% PIK closing fee, which was added to the principal amount of the Replacement Term Loans on the closing date; provided for a prepayment penalty on the entire principal amount of the Replacement Term Loans in an amount equal to 3.0% of the aggregate principal amount prepaid prior to December 31, 2021; and amended the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, as follows:

•~~June 30, 2021: 1.10 to 1.00~~

•~~September 30, 2021: 1.25 to 1.00~~

•~~December 31. 2021 and each fiscal quarter ending thereafter: 1.40 to 1.00~~

~~The transaction will be accounted for in the third quarter of 2020.~~

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition contains forward-looking statements regarding industry outlook and our expectations regarding the performance of our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements,” at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.

You should read the following discussion together with the Company’s reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ~~year~~twelve months ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 (See Item 1A. Risk Factors).

Overview

Headquartered in Plymouth, Michigan, Horizon Global Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Horizon,” “Horizon Global,” “we,” or the “Company”) are a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of a wide variety of high-quality, custom-engineered towing, trailering, cargo management and other related accessory products ~~on a global basis,~~primarily in the North American, European and African markets, primarily servicing the aftermarket, ~~retail and e-commerce and~~automotive original equipment manufacturers (“automotive OEMs”) and automotive original equipment servicers (“automotive OESs”) (collectively, “OEs”), retail, e-commerce and industrial channels, supporting our customers generally through a regional service and delivery model.

Critical factors affecting our ability to succeed include:

•Our ability to realize the expected future economic benefits resulting from the changes made to our manufacturing operations, distribution footprint and management team ~~during 2017 through 2019,~~in recent years, including the operational improvement initiatives implemented in ~~2019;~~2019-2020, which are continuously ongoing to support margin expansion;

•Our ability to continue to manage our liquidity, including continuing to ~~deleverage our balance sheet and~~ service our debt ~~obligations;~~obligations and comply with the applicable financial covenants thereto, especially given our recent debt refinancing and capital structure alignment to support business growth and the Company’s long-term strategic plan;

•Our ability to quickly and cost-effectively introduce new products to our customers and end-user market with a resulting streamlined customer service model and improved operating margins;

•Our ability to continue to successfully launch new products and customer programs to expand or realign our geographic coverage or distribution channels and realize desired operating ~~efficiencies;~~efficiencies and product line or customer content penetration;

•Our ability to manage our cost structure more efficiently via global supply base management, internal sourcing and/or purchasing of materials, freight and logistics management, selective outsourcing ~~and/or purchasing~~ of support functions, working capital management and a global approach to leverage our administrative functions; and

•Our ability to manage ~~the business disruption and the operational and financial impacts, including temporary facility closures,~~ liquidity and other economic and business uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic that may result in future business disruption, including any mandated operating restrictions such as ~~further detailed below.~~temporary facility closures.

If we are unable to do any of the foregoing successfully, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely impacted.

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak occurred in China and has since spread to other parts of the world and been declared a pandemic. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been adhering to mandates and other guidance from local governments and health authorities, as well as the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control. As a result of the pandemic, we experienced, and may experience again in the future, decreases in demand and customer orders for our products in all sales channels, as well as temporary disruptions and closures of some of our facilities due to decreased demand and government mandates. The COVID-19 pandemic also impacted various aspects of the supply chain as our suppliers experienced similar business disruptions due to operating restrictions from government mandates. We continue to monitor procurement of raw materials and components used in the manufacturing, distribution and sale of our products, but future disruptions in the supply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic may cause difficulty in sourcing materials or unexpected shortages or delays in delivery of raw materials and components, and may result in increased costs in our supply chain. The extent to which we or our customers may successfully mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, if at all, is unclear. The extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting effect on the Company’s operations continues to evolve and remains uncertain. However, we expect that our results of operations in future periods may be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative effects on global economic conditions. See Part II, Item 1A, “~~Risk Factors,” for additional risks relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.~~

Horizon Global reports its business in two operating segments: Horizon Americas and Horizon Europe-Africa. See Note ~~17,~~14, Segment Information, included in Part I, Item 1, “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further description of the Company’s operating segments.

~~We report~~Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other shipping and handling expenses, ~~associated with~~which primarily relate to Horizon Americas’ distribution network, ~~as an element of~~are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As such, gross margins for Horizon Americas may not be comparable to those of Horizon Europe-Africa, which primarily relies on third-party distributors, for which all costs are included in cost of sales.

Supplemental Analysis and Segment Information

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as the key measure of company and segment performance and for planning and forecasting purposes, as management believes this measure is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of the Company and its operating segments and provides management and investors with information to evaluate the operating performance of its business and is representative of its performance used to measure certain of its financial covenants, further discussed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with USU.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to Horizon Global, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA that is prepared in accordance with USU.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, as determined and measured by Horizon Global, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company also uses operating profit (loss) to measure stand-alone segment performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Horizon Global before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and before certain items, as applicable, such as severance, restructuring, relocation and related business disruption costs, gains (losses) on debt extinguishment, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, non-cash stock compensation, certain product liability ~~recall~~ and litigation claims, acquisition and integration costs, gains (losses) on business divestitures and other assets, debt issuance costs, board transition support and non-cash unrealized foreign currency remeasurement costs.

Improved operating profit and operating margin were primarily due to the operational results detailed above.

Other expense, net increased $1.5 million to $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily attributable to the $2.2 million loss on the sale of ~~$2.7~~the Company’s Brazil business during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Refer to Note 4, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in Part I, Item 1, “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information of the sale of the Company’s Brazil business.

The improvement was attributable to the operational results detailed above.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax is attributable to the sale of the Company’s former APAC operating segment, which was sold in September 2019. APAC has been presented as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 205, ~~Discontinued Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our capital and working capital requirements are funded through a combination of cash on hand, cash flows from operations, ~~cash on hand~~ and various borrowings and factoring arrangements described below, including our asset-based ~~revolving credit facility~~Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, and December 31, ~~2019, there was $12.3~~2020, we had $12.9 million and ~~$8.7~~$18.2 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents held at foreign subsidiaries. There may be country specific regulations, ~~that~~which may restrict or result in increased costs in the repatriation of these funds.

We believe our available our cash on hand, cash flow from operations and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility are our most significant sources of liquidity. In response to the current uncertain economic environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has pursued funding from available government programs and other sources of liquidity designed to strengthen its balance sheet and enhance financial flexibility. These sources include short-term loans, some of which are forgivable if certain conditions are met, as well as entering into or modifying other arrangements, including expanded use of receivables factoring. A summary of these actions is described below.

In April 2020, S.I.A.R.R. SAS (the “French Borrower”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, received a loan from BNP Paribas (the “French Loan”) for $5.5 million. The French Loan, issued pursuant to an agreement dated April 9, 2020, between the French Borrower and BNP Paribas, matures on April 9, 2021. The French Loan bears interest at a rate of 0.5% per annum. The French Borrower, at its election, may repay the French Loan in full on April 9, 2021 or in monthly installments for a period of five years from the date of election.

In April 2020, Horizon Global Company LLC (the “US Borrower”), a direct US-based subsidiary of the Company, received a loan from PNC Bank, National Association for $8.7 million, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The PPP Loan, which is in the form of a Note dated April 18, 2020 issued by the US Borrower, matures on April 18, 2022. The PPP Loan bears interest at 1.0% per annum and is payable monthly commencing on November 15, 2020. Funds from the PPP Loan may be used for payroll, costs used to continue group health care benefits, rent and utilities. Under the terms of the PPP Loan, certain amounts may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act.

The Company submitted its PPP Loan application in good faith in accordance with the CARES Act and the guidance issued by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”), including the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program Loans Frequently Asked Questions. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company, in accordance with the final guidance issued by the United States Department of the Treasury, met the need and sized based criteria of the program. The Company plans to file its application of forgiveness in the near term and continues to use the PPP Loan proceeds on qualifying expenses; however, there is no guarantee that any portion of the PPP Loan proceeds will be forgiven.

In March 2020, Westfalia-Automotive Gmbh (“Westfalia”), an indirect subsidiary of Horizon Global Corporation, was approved for a government payroll reimbursement program in Germany under the Kurzarbeitergeld (the “KUG”). The KUG is designed to reimburse employers for payroll costs incurred and paid to employees affected by the business disruption and government mandated operating restrictions in place due to COVID-19 for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020. Westfalia was approved to receive reimbursement of certain costs for the period March 19, 2020 through August 31, 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $2.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively, for qualifying payroll costs incurred for which the Company expects to be reimbursed under terms of the KUG. The Company estimates it will recognize future reimbursements up to $2.0 million under the terms of the KUG, provided the aforementioned local operating restrictions remain in place.

~~The Company is also taking the following measures to reduce costs and ensure appropriate liquidity:~~

–~~pursuing additional governmental grant or loan programs in the jurisdictions in which it operates;~~

–~~participating in payroll or payroll tax deferral programs such as those enacted by the CARES Act;~~

–~~undertaking negotiations with landlords to defer short-term rent payments;~~

–~~assessing its supplier base and related payment terms to determine if supplier payment timing may be amended, extended and/or retimed;~~

–~~reducing or retiming investments, including capital expenditures, that will not materially impact future business opportunities or our organic growth; and~~

–~~reducing reliance on temporary employees in both administrative and operations functions.~~

Additionally, in the United States, the Company has not furloughed or otherwise voluntarily reduced its workforce during the crisis. To protect the continued employment of its US-based employees, the Company, in addition to the other cost savings measures described above, implemented a temporary 20% wage reduction for all employees in the United States. In some cases, employees outside of the United States have been furloughed in response to government mandated operational restrictions and

~~fluctuations in customer demand. To the extent available, the Company availed itself of local government programs to support furloughed employees, such as those described above.~~

In March 2020, the Company, as guarantor, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Encina Business Credit, LLC (“Encina”), as agent for the lenders party thereto, and Horizon Global Americas Inc. and Cequent Towing Products of Canada Ltd., as borrowers (the “ABL Borrowers”). The Loan Agreement provides for an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million subject to customary borrowing base limitations contained therein, and may be increased at the ABL Borrowers’ request in increments of $5.0 million, up to a maximum of five times over the life of the Revolving Credit Facility, for a total increase of up to $25.0 million. ~~In March 2020, the Company drew down $19.0 million from its Revolving Credit Facility to strengthen liquidity and supplement the Company’s cash position in United States.~~ As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had availability of ~~$11.3~~$37.3 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and ~~$27.7~~$11.8 million of cash and cash equivalents in the United States.

~~Refer~~As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, total cash and availability was $62.0 million and $83.4 million, respectively. The Company defines cash and availability as cash and cash equivalents and amounts of cash accessible but undrawn from credit facilities.

During 2020, in response to ~~Note~~the initial uncertain economic environment caused in part from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company pursued funding from available government programs and other sources of liquidity designed to strengthen its balance sheet and enhance financial flexibility. These sources included short-term loans, some of which are forgivable if certain conditions are met as well as entering into or modifying other arrangements. A summary of these actions is described below.

In April 2020, Horizon Global Company LLC (the “U.S. Borrower”), a direct U.S.-based subsidiary of the Company, received a loan from PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) for $8.7 million, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The PPP Loan, which is in the form of a note dated April 18, 2020 issued by the U.S. Borrower, matures on April 18, 2022. Funds from the PPP Loan may be used for payroll, costs used to continue group health care benefits, rent and utilities. Under the terms of the PPP Loan, certain amounts may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company has filed its application of loan forgiveness with PNC and the SBA for forgiveness of $8.0 million of $8.7 million of funds originally received. The potential loan forgiveness is determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of qualifying expenses over the 24 weeks after the loan proceeds were disbursed. The unforgiven portion of the loan has an interest rate of 1.0% per annum, and in July 2021, the note was amended to make the unforgiven portion payable over five years on a monthly basis. The Company has deferred interest payments until the Company’s application for forgiveness is completed in accordance with the guidance issued by the SBA and Treasury and the terms of the Company’s PPP Loan. While we currently believe that our use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of our PPP Loan, there can be no assurance that forgiveness for any portion of the PPP Loan will be obtained.

In April 2020, S.I.A.R.R. SAS (the “French Borrower”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, received a loan from BNP Paribas (the “French Loan”) for $5.5 million. On February 17, 2021, the French Borrower entered into an amendment to the French Loan, which under the terms of the amendment, the repayment of the loan was modified to monthly repayments of principal and interest beginning April 2022 through April 2026, from the original maturity of April 9, ~~Long-term Debt~~2021. In addition, the interest rate on the French Loan was amended to a rate of 1.0% per annum and interest is payable monthly beginning April 2021.

In March 2020, Westfalia-Automotive GmbH (“Westfalia”), ~~included~~an indirect subsidiary of the Company, was approved for a government payroll reimbursement program in ~~Part I, Item~~Germany under the Kurzarbeitergeld (the “KUG”). The KUG is designed to reimburse employers for payroll costs incurred and paid to employees affected by the business disruption and government mandated operating restrictions in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic for the period March 1, “~~Notes~~2020 through August 31, 2020. Westfalia was approved to ~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q~~receive reimbursement of certain costs for ~~additional information.~~the period March 19, 2020 through August 31, 2020. The Company was reimbursed $3.3 million for qualifying payroll costs under terms of the KUG for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020.

We believe the combination of these sources, as well as the changes to our capital structure following our recent refinancing activities, as fully summarized below, will enable us to meet our working capital, capital expenditures and other funding requirements. Our ability to fund our working capital needs, debt payments and other obligations, and to comply with financial covenants, including borrowing base limitations under our Revolving Credit Facility, depends on our future operating performance and cash flow and many factors outside of our control, including the costs of raw materials, the state of the automotive accessories market, ~~and~~ financial and economic conditions and the extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Outlook

~~The Company began 2020 with a strong performance and~~Our business remains susceptible to economic conditions that could adversely affect our ~~operating~~ results, ~~demonstrated strong demand for our products. However,~~including potential negative impacts of the COVID-19 ~~pandemic~~pandemic. The trend of customer orders in the economies that most significantly affect our demand has ~~caused significant business~~been strong, including the United States and ~~economic disruption globally~~Europe. However, we have experienced rising pricing to certain raw materials, including steel, and while the Company endeavors to recover incremental input costs through pricing actions, the recoveries generally occur over time and are not guaranteed. In addition, recent macroeconomic factors, such as constraints on shipping container availability, port congestion and the global microchip shortage have resulted in ~~economic uncertainty and challenges, both in the short term and long term. At this time, the Company’s main priority is the health~~a delay of its employees and others in the communities where it does business and we are taking actions in response to the current environment. The Company has implemented risk mitigation plans across the enterprise to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 while continuing to operate to the extent possible. In accordance with mandates and other guidance from local governments and health authorities, as well as the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control,receiving raw materials by the Company or some of our OE customers, which has ~~taken~~resulted in retiming some customer orders to future periods. We continue to monitor these supply constraints and remain committed to fulfilling and delivering our customers’ orders driven by the ~~following measures:~~strong product demand we have experienced.

–~~requiring administrative employees~~We also remain focused on maintaining liquidity to ~~work remotely;~~

–~~temporarily eliminating domestic and international travel;~~

–~~gating measures defined and implemented for essential workers to enter facilities;~~

–~~providing and requiring the use of personal protective equipment by all employees during working hours;~~

–requiring essential on-site employees to practice social distancing, including refraining from handshaking, hugging or other forms of physical greeting and maintaining 6 feet of distance from coworkers where possible;

–~~professionally sanitizing each facility on a regular basis;~~

–~~sanitizing equipment between uses;~~

–~~requiring frequent hand washing, including before and after the use of shared equipment;~~

–~~conducting temperature checks on employees at the start of each shift;~~

–~~ensuring availability of hand sanitizer at each facility and encouraging frequent application; and~~

–~~requiring employees to stay home if they are experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms.~~

The Company has the ability to manufacture and distribute its products across its various sales channels, and continues to operate and fill customer orders. The Company adhered to government mandated operational restrictions and flexed itsfund our operations, while considering future maturities in ~~line with current and anticipated customer demand,~~our capital structure, which have been addressed and will continue to ~~do so while prioritizing~~be addressed as the health and safety of its employees and others in the communities where it operates. The customers in our original equipment manufacturers and original equipment servicers sales channels were those most affected by government mandated operational restrictions. However, substantially all of our customers resumed operational status, resulting in increasing demand with each successive month during the second quarter 2020.

~~The~~ Company continues to ~~operate~~execute upon its ~~distribution facilities~~business plan and operational improvement initiatives in 2021. These initiatives were put in place to streamline and simplify its operations and provide a roadmap to achieve our strategic priorities of margin expansion, liquidity management and organic business growth.

We currently expect the operations of our ~~remaining facilities to~~market space will benefit us as our OE customers continue to ~~improve~~demonstrate a preference for stronger relationships with few suppliers. We believe that our strong brand positions, portfolio of product offerings, and existing customer relationships present a long-term opportunity for us and provide leverage to see balanced growth in OE, aftermarket and retail businesses.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

See Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements, included in Part I, Item 1, “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with ~~accounting principles generally accepted within the United States of Americas (“US GAAP”).~~U.S. GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates that affect both the amounts and timing of the recording of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, our evaluation of business and macroeconomic trends, and information from other outside sources, as appropriate.

There were no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ~~year~~twelve months ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

~~Emerging Growth Company~~

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, establishes a class of company called an “emerging growth company,” which generally is a company whose initial public offering was completed after December 8, 2011 and had total annual gross revenues of less than $1.07 billion during its most recently completed fiscal year. We currently qualify as an emerging growth company.

As an emerging growth company, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are not available to public reporting companies that do not qualify for this classification, including without limitation the following:

▪An emerging growth company is exempt from any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and financial statements, commonly known as an “auditor discussion and analysis.”

▪~~An emerging growth company is not required to hold a nonbinding advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation or any golden parachute payments not previously approved by stockholders.~~

▪An emerging growth company is not required to comply with the requirement of auditor attestation of management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting, which is required for other public reporting companies by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

▪An emerging growth company is eligible for reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic and annual reports, including without limitation exemption from the requirement to provide a compensation discussion and analysis describing compensation practices and procedures.

▪A company that is an emerging growth company is eligible for reduced financial statement disclosure in registration statements, which must include two years of audited financial statements rather than the three years of audited financial statements that are required for other public reporting companies.

For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we expect that we will take advantage of the reduced disclosure obligations available to us as a result of this classification. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020, the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion (subject to further adjustment for inflation) or more; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under applicable SEC rules. Based on the foregoing, we expect we will no longer qualify as an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2020.

Emerging growth companies may elect to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’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 timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, an evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed only to provide reasonable assurance that they will meet their objectives. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that they would meet their objectives.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain employees of the Company began working remotely in March 2020. Management has taken measures to ensure that our internal control over financial reporting remained effective and were not materially affected during the period. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business, but we do not believe that any such claim or litigation is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For additional information regarding legal proceedings, refer to Note ~~13,~~10, Contingencies, included in Part I, Item 1, “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~For a~~A discussion of our ~~risks and uncertainties, see the~~ risk factors, ~~below and the information~~which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, can be found in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ~~year~~twelve months ended December 31, ~~2019.~~

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, our business, which could result in a material adverse impact to our business, results of operations, cash flow, liquidity and financial condition.

In December 2019, the COVID-19 outbreak occurred in China and has since spread to other parts of the world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. On March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak. Along with these declarations, extraordinary and wide-ranging actions were taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions across the United States and the world, including quarantines, social distancing and “stay-at-home” orders, travel restrictions, mandatory business closures and other mandates that substantially restricted individuals’ daily activities and curtailed or ceased many businesses’ normal operations.

~~New and changing government actions to address the COVID-19 pandemic continue to occur regularly. Certain jurisdictions in which we operate~~2020. There have had to re-establish restrictions due to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases. Additionally, although many of our customers have begun to reopen, restart operations or increase operating levels, they may be forced to close or limit operations as any new COVID-19 outbreaks occur.

~~In response to the pandemic and these actions, we began implementing~~been no significant changes in our ~~business in March 2020 to protect our employees and customers and support appropriate social distancing and other health and safety protocols. We have flexed the workforce~~risk factors disclosed in our distribution centers and manufacturing operations based on business needs, including the implementation of remote, alternate and flexible work arrangements where possible and remote work options for non-essential on-site functions and have adhered to geographical government mandates and operating restrictions for other facilities. Additionally, we have enhanced cleaning and sanitary procedures; eliminated domestic and international travel; restricted access to our facilities to only employees and implemented return to work screening protocols for when our facilities are reopened. While all of these measures have been necessary and appropriate, they have resulted in additional costs and may adversely impact our business and financial performance. As our response to the pandemic evolves, we expect to incur additional costs and will potentially experience adverse impacts to our business, each of which may be significant. In addition, an extended period of remote work arrangements could impair our ability to effectively manage our business, and introduce additional operational risks, including, but not limited to, cybersecurity risks and increased vulnerability to security breaches, cyber attacks, computer viruses, ransomware, or other similar events and intrusions.

To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world and has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted consumer spending and global supply chains, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. As a result, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, decreases in demand and customer orders for our products in all sales channels, as well as temporary disruptions and closures of some of our facilities due to decreased demand and government mandates. The COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted various aspects of the supply chain as our suppliers experience similar business disruptions due to operating restrictions from government mandates. We continue to monitor procurement of raw materials and components used in the manufacturing, distribution and sale of our products, but continued disruptions in the supply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic may cause difficulty in sourcing materials or unexpected shortages or delays in delivery of raw materials and components, and may result in increased costs in our supply chain. We have implemented plans to reduce spending in certain areas of our business, including flexing variable labor, involuntary leave programs, reductions or delays in variable costs and investments, including capital expenditures, and may need to take additional actions to reduce spending in the future.

We are closely monitoring and assessing the impact of the pandemic on our business, the extent of the impact on our liquidity to meet our short-term obligations and fund our business needs and growth, and our ability to meet financial covenants within our credit agreements. While we are closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of our business, the extent of

the impact on our results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, and financial performance, as well as our ability to execute near- and long-term business strategies and initiatives, will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted, including: (a) the duration, severity and scope of the pandemic; (b) rapidly-changing governmental and public health mandates and guidance to contain and combat the outbreak; (c) the extent and duration of the pandemic’s adverse effect on economic and social activity, consumer confidence, discretionary spending and preferences, labor and healthcare costs, and unemployment rates, any of which may reduce demand for some of our products and impair the ability of those with whom we do business to satisfy their obligations to us; (d) our ability to sell and provide our services and products, including as a result of continued travel restrictions, mandatory business closures, and stay-at home or similar orders; (e) any temporary reduction in our workforce, closures of our offices and facilities and our ability to adequately staff and maintain our operations; (f) the ability of our customers and suppliers to continue their operations, which could result in terminations of contracts, losses of revenue, and further adverse effects to our supply chain; (g) any impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets, which could be recorded as a result of weaker economic conditions; and (h) the potential effects on our internal controls, including as a result of changes in working environments and observing stay-at-home and similar orders that are applicable to our employees and business partners, among others. In addition, if the pandemic continues to create disruptions or turmoil in the credit or financial markets, or impacts our credit ratings, it could adversely affect our ability to access capital on favorable terms and continue to meet our liquidity needs.

Given the inherent uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect the pandemic may continue to have an adverse impact on our business in the near term. Should these conditions persist for a prolonged period, the COVID-19 pandemic, including any of the above factors and others that are currently unknown, may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, and financial condition. Even as restrictions are lifted and economies gradually reopen, the shape of the economic recovery is uncertain and may continue to negatively impact our cash flow, liquidity, and financial condition.

We are currently out of compliance with the NYSE's minimum market capitalization requirement and are at risk of the NYSE delisting our common stock, which would have an adverse impact on the trading volume, liquidity and market price of our common stock.

~~On April 30,~~ 2020 we were notified (the “Notice”) by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that we were not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because our average market capitalization was less than $50 million over a consecutive 30 trading-day period and our stockholders’ equity was less than $50 million. We are taking actions to meet the continued listing standards of the NYSE to cure the market capitalization condition which we expect will ultimately lead to a recovery of our common stock price and market capitalization. Our common stock could also be delisted if our average market capitalization over a consecutive 30 day-trading period is less than $15 million, in which case we would not have an opportunity to cure the deficiency, our common stock would be suspended from trading on the NYSE immediately, and the NYSE would begin the process to delist our common stock, subject to our right to appeal under NYSE rules. We cannot assure you that any appeal we undertake in these or other circumstances will be successful. While we are working to cure this deficiency and regain compliance with this continued listing standard, there can be no assurance that we will be able to cure this deficiency or if we will cease to comply with another continued listing standard of the NYSE.

A delisting of our common stock from the NYSE could negatively impact us as it would likely reduce the liquidity and market price of our common stock; reduce the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock; and negatively impact our ability to access equity markets and obtain financing.

If we fail to meet the necessary requirements for our common stock to remain listed on the NYSE or other similar markets, then we will be obligated to offer to repurchase all of our outstanding Convertible Notes. Our failure to make such an offer or repurchase any tendered Convertible Notes will result in an event of default under the indentures governing the Convertible Notes. Any such default will trigger a cross-default on our other debt obligations, including the First Lien Term Loan, Second Lien Term and Revolving Credit Facility. Our inability to cure any such defaults, including the payment of our debt obligations, would have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.Form 10-K.
