Notes to condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

(1)

Basis of Presentation

 

 

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Atrion Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “Atrion” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United StatesUS GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United StatesUS GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that can have a significant impact on our revenue, operating income, and net income, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We base our assumptions, judgments, and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. At least quarterly, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments, and estimates, and make changes as deemed necessary.

 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. We are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require updates to our estimates or judgments or require us to revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of May 10,August 9, 2021, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, these estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 ("(“2020 Form 10-K"10-K”).

Incremental shares from stock options and restricted stock units were included in the calculation of weighted average diluted shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. Dilutive securities representing zerosix and 15eight shares of common stock for the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and an average of three and 12 shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were excluded from the computation of weighted average diluted shares outstanding because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Investments

 

 

 

As of March 31,June 30, 2021, we held investments in commercial paper, bonds, money market accounts, mutual funds and equity securities. The commercial paper and bonds are considered held-to-maturity and are recorded at amortized cost in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The money market accounts, equity securities and mutual funds are recorded at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of these investments were estimated using recently executed transactions and market price quotations. We consider as current assets those investments which will mature in the next 12 months including interest receivable on the long-term bonds. The remaining investments are considered non-current assets including our investment in equity securities we intend to hold longer than 12 months.

We utilize a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for held-to-maturity securities at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. Our credit loss calculations for held-to-maturity securities are based upon historical default and recovery rates of bonds rated with the same rating as our portfolio. We also apply an adjustment factor to these credit loss calculations based upon our assessment of the expected impact from current economic conditions on our investments, including the impact of COVID-19. We monitor the credit quality of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity through the use of their respective credit ratings and update them on a quarterly basis with our latest assessment completed on March 31,June 30, 2021. During the firstsecond quarter of 2021, our allowance for credit losses related to short-term investments increased by $1,000$3 thousand and our allowance for credit losses related to long-term investments decreased by $18,000.$8 thousand.

The carrying value of our investments is reviewed quarterly for changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events that suggest an investment may not be fully recoverable. The bonds represent investments in various issuers at March 31,June 30, 2021. The unrealized losses for some of these bond investments reflect changes in interest rates following their acquisition. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, we had no bond investments in a loss position for more than 12 months.

 

At March 31,June 30, 2021, the length of time until maturity of the commercial paper we owned ranged from less than a month to six10 months and the length of time to maturity for the bonds ranged from less than a month to 5754 months.

Revenues

 

 

 

We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. This occurs with the transfer of control of our products to customers when products are shipped. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products or services. Sales and other taxes we may collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

More than 99 percent of our total revenue in the periods presented herein is pursuant to shipments initiated by a purchase order (our “contract”) and recognized at a single point in time when the performance obligation of the product being shipped is satisfied, rather than recognized over time, and is presented as a receivable on the balance sheet. Payment is typically due within 30 days.

 

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make required payments. Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted a new credit loss accounting methodology to calculate our credit loss allowance for our trade receivables following a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective. An account is written off when we determine the receivable will not be collected. Historically, bad debt has been immaterial.

 

We have elected to recognize the cost of shipping as an expense in cost of sales when control over the product has transferred to the customer.

 

We do not make any material accruals for product returns and warranty obligations because our returns and warranty obligations have been very low due to our focus on quality control.

 

We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount for which we have the right to invoice. We believe that the complexity added to our disclosures by the inclusion of a large amount of insignificant detail in attempting to disclose information about immaterial contracts would potentially obscure more useful and important information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

 

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements applicable to us are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standards-setting bodies. We generally adopt these standards setting bodies, which we will adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

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

 

Overview

 

We develop and manufacture products primarily for medical applications. We market components to other equipment manufacturers for incorporation in their products and sell finished devices to physicians, hospitals, clinics and other treatment centers. Our medical products primarily serve the fluid delivery, cardiovascular and ophthalmology markets. Our other medical and non-medical products include instrumentation and disposables used in valves and inflation devices used in marine and aviation safety products.

 

Our products are used in a wide variety of applications by numerous customers. We encounter competition in all of our markets and compete primarily on the basis of product quality, price, engineering, customer service and delivery time.

 

Our business strategy is to provide hospitals, physicians and other healthcare providers with the tools they need to improve the lives of the patients they serve. To do so, we provide a broad selection of products in the areas of our expertise. We have diverse product lines serving primarily the fluid delivery, cardiovascular and ophthalmic markets, and this diversity has served us well as we encounter changing market conditions. Research and development, or R&D, efforts are focused on improving current products and developing highly-engineered products that meet customer needs and serve niche markets with meaningful sales potential. Proposed new products may be subject to regulatory clearance or approval prior to commercialization and the time period for introducing a new product to the marketplace can be unpredictable. We also focus on controlling costs by investing in modern manufacturing technologies and controlling purchasing processes. We have been successful in consistently generating cash from operations and have used that cash to reduce or eliminate indebtedness, to fund capital expenditures, to make investments, to repurchase stock and to pay dividends.

 

Our strategic objective is to further enhance our position in our served markets by:

 

��

·

Focusing on customer needs;

 

·

Expanding existing product lines and developing new products;

 

·

Maintaining a culture of controlling cost; and

 

·

Preserving and fostering a collaborative, entrepreneurial management structure.

  

For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, we reported revenues of $39.2$42.7 million, up 12 percent, operating income of $9.8 million, down 2 percent and net income of $8.9 million, and net income of $7.7 million, down 10up 4 percent 24 percent and 13 percent, respectively, from the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.

Consolidated revenues of $39.2$42.7 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2021 were 1012.4 percent lowerhigher than revenues of $43.6$38.0 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2020. This decreaseincrease was primarily attributabledue to a decrease in sales volumes of our Cardiovascular and Fluid Delivery products. Sales volumes in the first quarter of 2020 were inflated by advanced stocking orders by customers concerned about their supply chains because of the COVID-19 outbreak at that time. This created unusually high sales volumes for us that were not repeated in the first quarter of 2021.our Other product line also increased. The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on our sales in the firstsecond quarter of 20212020 as patients continued to defer procedures because of the pandemic.deferred elective procedures.

Cost of goods sold of $22.8$24.8 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2021 was 3.821.1 percent lowerhigher than our cost of goods sold of $23.7$20.5 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2020 primarily due to lowerhigher sales volumes, partially offset bysales mix and higher manufacturing costs. Our cost of goods sold in the firstsecond quarter of 2021 was 58.2 percent of revenues compared to 54.454.0 percent of revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2020.

 

Gross profit of $16.3$17.9 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2021 was $3.5$0.4 million or 17.82.3 percent lowerhigher than in the comparable 2020 period. Our gross profit percentage in the firstsecond quarter of 2021 was 41.741.8 percent of revenues compared with 45.546.0 percent of revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2020. The decrease in gross profit percentage in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period was primarily related to a 2021 product sales mix with lower margins, inefficiencies in our manufacturing operations in 2021 partly caused by temporary power disruptions and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and higher manufacturing costs.

 

Our firstsecond quarter 2021 operating expenses of $7.4$8.1 million were $746,000 lower$649 thousand higher than the operating expenses for the firstsecond quarter of 2020.

Other investment income in the firstsecond quarter of 2021 was $62,000$963 thousand compared with Other investment lossincome of $997,000$354 thousand in the firstsecond quarter of 2020. These amounts were attributable to unrealized gains orand losses on equity investments resulting from changes in the market values of the investments in each quarter.

Cost of goods sold of $47.7 million for the first six months of 2021 was $3.4 million higher than in the comparable 2020 period. This increase is due to an unfavorable product sales mix and higher manufacturing costs in the first six months of 2021. Our cost of goods sold in the first six months of 2021 and 2020 was 58.2 percent and 54.2 percent of revenues, respectively.

Gross profit was $34.2 million in the first six months of 2021 and $37.3 million in the first six months of 2020. Our gross profit percentage was 41.8 percent of revenues in the first six months in 2021 and 45.8 percent in 2020. This decrease was driven by unfavorable product sales mix and increased manufacturing costs.

Table of Contents

Operating expenses of $15.5 million for the first six months 2021 were $97 thousand lower than the operating expenses for the first six months of 2020. This decrease was primarily in general and administrative expense as a result of lower compensation.

Operating income in the first six months of 2021 decreased $3.0 million to $18.7 million, a 13.9 percent decrease from our operating income in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Operating income for the first six months in 2021 and 2020 was 22.9 percent and 26.7 percent of revenues respectively.

Interest and dividend income for the first six months of 2021 was $399 thousand, compared with $858 thousand for the same period in the prior year. The decline in interest and dividend income was largely due to lower interest rates in the 2021 period versus the 2020 period.

Other investment income for the first six months of 2021 was $1.0 million compared to a $673 thousand loss in the first six months of 2020. These amounts were attributable to unrealized gains and losses on equity investments resulting from changes in the market values of our investments in each time period. The impact of COVID-19 on equity markets in the 2020 period also impacted our investments.

Income tax benefits from stock compensation.  expense was $3.6 million for the first six months in 2021 and $4.4 million the first six months in 2020. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2021 was 17.6 percent, compared with 20.2 percent for the first six months of 2020. The decrease in the 2021 period effective tax rate was primarily related to a decrease in state income taxes. We expect the effective tax rate for 2021 to be approximately 17 percent.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31,June 30, 2021, we had a $75.0 million revolving credit facility with a money center bank pursuant to which the lender is obligated to make advances until February 28, 2024.

The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our inventories, equipment and accounts receivable. Interest under the credit facility is assessed at 30-day, 60-day or 90-day LIBOR, as selected by us, plus 1.0 percent (1.110 percent at March 31, 2021) and is payable monthly. We had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility at March 31,June 30, 2021 and we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

 

At March 31,June 30, 2021, we had a total of $88.5$80.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments. At December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments were $87.9 million.

 

Cash flows from operating activities of $7.4$16.0 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 were primarily comprised of net income plus the net effect of non-cash expenses, increases in accounts receivable, and decreases in accounts payable and prepaid expenses. During the first threesix months of 2021, we expended $7.3used $16.1 million for the purchase of investments, $3.0$7.3 million for the addition of property and equipment, $10.5 million for the purchase of treasury stock and $3.2$6.4 million for dividends. During the same period, maturities and sales of investments generated $13.7$19.4 million in cash.

 

At March 31,June 30, 2021, we had working capital of $109.2$113.2 million, including $29.4$17.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $18.3$30.5 million in short-term investments compared to working capital of $98.7 million at December 31, 2020. The $10.5$14.5 million increase in working capital during the threesix months of 2021 was primarily related to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $7.0short term investments $11.2 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $3.8$6.2 million.

Table of Contents

 

We believe that our $88.5$80.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments, along with cash flows from operations and available borrowings of up to $75.0 million under our credit facility, will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for at least the foreseeable future, including the costs associated with the planned expansion of one of our manufacturing facilities. We believe that our strong financial position would allow us to access equity or debt financing should that be necessary.

COVID-19 Impact

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in travel and other restrictions to reduce the spread of the disease, including governmental orders across the globe, which, among other things, directdirected individuals to shelter at their places of residence, directdirected businesses and governmental agencies to cease non-essential operations at physical locations, prohibitprohibited certain non-essential gatherings, maintain social distancing, and order cessation of non-essential travel. As a result of these developments, we have implemented work-from-home policies for certain of our employees. In addition, many of our customers implemented and are continuing similar measures in their facilities, which have delayed, and may continue to delay, the timing of some orders and deliveries. The effects of shelter-in-place and social distancing orders, government-imposed quarantines, and work-from-home policies may furthercontinue negatively impactimpacting productivity, disruptdisrupting our business, and delaydelaying our development timelines beyond the delays we have already experienced and disclosed, the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and other limitations on our ability to conduct our business in the ordinary course. Such restrictions and limitations may also furthercontinue negatively impactimpacting our access to regulatory authorities (which are affected, among other things, by applicable travel restrictions and may be delayed in responding to inquiries, reviewing filings, and conducting inspections); our ability to perform regularly scheduled quality checks and maintenance; and our ability to obtain services from third-party specialty vendors and other providers or to access their expertise as fully and timely as needed. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted and may also resultcontinue resulting in the loss of some of our key personnel, either temporarily or permanently. In addition, our sales and marketing efforts have been negatively impacted and may be further negatively impacted by postponement or cancellation of face-to-face meetings and restrictions on access by non-essential personnel to hospitals or clinics to the extent such measures slow down adoption or further commercialization of our marketed products. The demand for our products has been and may alsocontinue to be adversely impacted by the restrictions and limitations adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly to the extent they affect the patients'patients’ ability or willingness to undergo elective surgeries. As a result, some of our inventory may become obsolete and may need to be written off, impacting our operating results. These and similar, and perhaps more severe, disruptions in our operations may materially adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

The global COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as progress in fighting the pandemic is being made in the United States and some other countries with greater percentages of the pace of vaccinations increasing.populations being vaccinated. However, the ultimate impact of the pandemic remains highly uncertain and subject to change. Accordingly, we do not yet know the full impact that the pandemic will have on our business, healthcare systems, or the global economy.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are forward looking are based upon current expectations, and actual results or future events may differ materially. Therefore, the inclusion of such forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by us that our objectives or plans will be achieved. Such statements include, but are not limited to, our effective income tax rate for 2021, our ability to fund our cash requirements for the foreseeable future with our current assets, long-term investments, cash flow and borrowings under the credit facility, our access to equity and debt financing, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations, and our financial results. Words such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “should,” “plans,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained herein involve numerous risks and uncertainties, and there are a number of factors that could cause actual results or future events to differ materially, including, but not limited to, the following: the risk that the COVID-19 pandemic leads to further material delays and cancellations of, or reduced demand for, procedures in which our products are utilized; curtailed or delayed capital spending by hospitals and other healthcare providers; disruption to our supply chain; closures of our facilities; delays in training; delays in gathering clinical evidence; diversion of management and other resources to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak; the impact of global and regional economic and credit market conditions on healthcare spending; the risk that the COVID-19 virus further disrupts local economies and causes economies in our key markets to enter prolonged recessions; changing economic, market and business conditions; acts of war or terrorism; the effects of governmental regulation; the impact of competition and new technologies; slower-than-anticipated introduction of new products or implementation of marketing strategies; implementation of new manufacturing processes or implementation of new information systems; our ability to protect our intellectual property; changes in the prices of raw materials; changes in product mix; intellectual property and product liability claims and product recalls; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and the loss of, or any material reduction in sales to, any significant customers. In addition, assumptions relating to budgeting, marketing, product development and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic review which may cause us to alter our marketing, capital expenditures or other budgets, which in turn may affect our results of operations and financial condition. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of the date hereof, and we do not undertake any obligation, and disclaim any duty, to supplement, update or revise such statements, whether as a result of subsequent events, changed expectations or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Supply chain disruptions due to storms in the southern United States in February 2021 could have a material adverse impact on our operations and our financial results.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

The principal raw materials that we use intable below sets forth information with respect to our products are polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride resins. Our ability to operate profitably is dependent, in part, on the availability and pricingpurchases of these resins and other raw materials. The resins we use are derived from petroleum and natural gas; therefore, prices fluctuate substantially as a result of changes in petroleum and natural gas prices, demand and the capacityour common stock during each of the companies that produce these products to meet market needs.three months in the period ended June 30, 2021.

 

A storm in February 2021 impacted the southern region of the United States, causing power outages that led to chemical plant shutdowns. The storm also temporarily halted a third of the natural-gas production in the Texas gulf area. Supply chains were disrupted causing shortages of raw materials and price increases for polyethylene and polypropylene resins, in addition to other chemical compounds used to make our components. The ultimate impact of this supply chain disruption is uncertain, and, although we do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business or our healthcare customers, they could have a material adverse impact on our operations and our financial results.

Our ability to maintain profitability depends, in part, upon our ability to pass through to our customers the full amount of any increase in raw material costs. The increased resin prices will affect our costs, and if we are not able to fully pass on the increases to our customers, our results of operations and our financial condition could be adversely affected.
