The Company’s Summary of Significant Accounting Policies is provided with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In  November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU enhances reportable segment disclosures on both an annual and interim basis primarily in regard to the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss. In addition, the ASU requires disclosure, by segment, of other items included in the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss, including qualitative information describing the composition, nature and type of each item. The ASU also expands disclosure requirements related to the CODM, including how the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss are used to assess segment performance and allocate resources, the method used to allocate overhead for significant segment expenses and others. Lastly, all previously required annual segment reporting disclosures under Topic 280 will also be required for interim periods. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after  December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after  December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU.

 

In  December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU enhances income tax disclosures by providing information to better assess how an entity’s operations, related tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. This ASU requires additional disclosures to the annual effective tax rate reconciliation including specific categories and further disaggregated reconciling items that meet the quantitative threshold. Additionally, the ASU requires disclosures relating to income tax expense and payments made to federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after  December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU.

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting for "Financial Instruments" requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. Financial instruments held by the Company include, among others, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

As defined in FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements", fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the examination of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

7

 

* Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

* Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

              * Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

* Quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

* Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

* Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

* Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company's instruments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

 

* Stock: The stock market value is based on valuation of market quotes from independent active market sources and is considered a level 1 investment.

5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

 

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired. U.S. GAAP requires that both indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50%) that the intangible asset or the reporting unit is impaired. During interim periods, ASC 350 requires companies to focus on those events and circumstances that affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the asset group or reporting unit to determine whether an interim quantitative impairment test is required. The Company performed its annual impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets as of the last day of the fourth quarter. The Company first assessed certain qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible assets is less than its carrying amount, and whether it is therefore necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. In 2023, for all reporting units other than CAD Enterprises the qualitative analysis indicated that a quantitative analysis was not necessary. For the identified reporting unit, impairment testing was performed as of  December 31, 2023 using an income approach based on management’s determination of the prospective financial information, and no indefinite-lived intangible assets or goodwill was determined to be impaired.

 

There were no impairment indicators identified during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023.

 

Goodwill increased by $1.0 million from $16.5 million at  December 31, 2023 to $17.4 million at  September 30, 2024. The increase in Goodwill was driven by an addition of $1.0 million in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment related to the acquisition of Heany Industries, LLC ("Heany") and Advanced Industrial Coatings, LLC ("AIC") in the first and third quarters of 2024, respectively. Goodwill increased by $0.2 million from $16.2 million at  December 31, 2022 to $16.5 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in Goodwill was driven by a purchase accounting adjustment to Goodwill, recorded in the second quarter of 2023, for Knitting Machinery Company of America (KMC).

8.  BANK DEBT 

 

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as lender (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

 

The Company entered into a sixth amendment to the Credit Agreement on  June 12, 2023. The most significant change in the amended Credit Agreement was the discontinued use of LIBOR as a reference rate, with the adoption of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the primary reference rate. This change was anticipated and aligns with the US Dollar LIBOR panel ceasing on  June 30, 2023.  

 

The Company entered into a seventh amendment to the Credit Agreement on  November 27, 2023. The Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement, among other things, extended the maturity date of the underlying credit facility from  June 1, 2024 to  June 1, 2027, and increases the maximum annual amount that the Company and its subsidiaries  may pay in dividends or other restricted payments to $2,000,000 from $1,250,000.

 

The revolving facility under the Credit Agreement includes a $3 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit thereunder. Interest for borrowings under the revolving facility accrues at a per annum rate equal to Prime Rate or SOFR (previously LIBOR) plus applicable margins of (i) (0.25%) for Prime Rate loans and (ii) 1.75% for SOFR (previously LIBOR) loans. The Credit Agreement includes a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving facility of 0.25% per annum payable quarterly.

 

The obligations of the Company and other borrowers under the Credit Agreement are secured by a blanket lien on all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement also includes customary representations and warranties and applicable reporting requirements and covenants. The financial covenants under the Credit Agreement include a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum senior funded debt to EBITDA ratio and a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA ratio.

 

On May 16, 2024, North 52nd Properties LLC (the “Purchaser”), a subsidiary of the Company, purchased certain real property located in Phoenix, Arizona (the “Real Property”) for $6.9 million (the “Purchase Price”) from Loudermilk, Inc. and its affiliate. The Real Property is utilized by the Company’s subsidiary, CAD, and was previously leased by CAD. The Company exercised its option to purchase the Real Property, which was independently appraised at a value substantially in excess of the Purchase Price. The purchase of the Real Property was financed with a loan of approximately $5.9 million by MidFirst Bank (the “Lender”) to the Purchaser made pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated  May 16, 2024 by and between the Purchaser and the Lender (the “Loan Agreement”). The loan is secured by the Real Property and guaranteed by the Company and CAD, accrues interest at an annual rate of 7.14%, and is payable in monthly installments until the May 16, 2034 maturity date. The Loan Agreement provides for customary covenants and events of default, including covenants which require the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.2x and a tangible net worth of not less than $10 million, each as of the end of any fiscal year. If the loan is repaid within the next five years, it may be subject to a prepayment premium as further described in the Loan Agreement. The Company entered into an eighth amendment to the Credit Agreement on May 16, 2024, which adopted amendments necessary to permit the purchase of the Real Property and the financing of the purchase pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

 

The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement and Loan Agreement at September 30, 2024.

The Company had $24.2 million and $24.9 million available to borrow on the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, respectively. Although borrowings on the revolving credit facility remained relatively consistent during the period ended September 30, 2024, the facility was utilized to finance the acquisitions of Heany for $6.6 million and AIC for $4.3 million, with these increases largely offset by repayments made during the current year to date period.

13. REVENUE RECOGNITION  

 

Revenue is recognized when the Company's obligations under the contract terms are satisfied and control of the product transfers to the customer, typically upon shipment. Revenue from certain contracts in the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment is accounted for over time, as control transfers under these arrangements.

 

Contract assets primarily relate to the Commercial Air Handling segment’s rights to consideration for progress on performance obligations, measured by the proportion of actual costs incurred to the total costs expected to complete the contract, but not contractually billable at the reporting date. The contract assets are reclassified into the receivables balance when the rights to receive payment become unconditional. Substantially all contract assets are expected to be billed and collected within twelve months. The Company has no history of material cancellations or write-offs involving its contract assets.

 

Unearned revenue represents amounts collected from, or invoiced to, a customer in advance of revenue recognition. The liability for unearned revenue is reversed when the Company satisfies its performance obligations, which are typically satisfied within twelve months, but could span up to twenty-four months. All unearned revenue is recorded as a current liability, as performance periods beyond one year are usually due to unexpected circumstances outside of the Company’s control such as construction delays.

 

At December 31, 2023, the unearned revenue balance was $5.6 million, substantially all of which was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

 

14. SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION  

 

The Company reports operations for two business segments: (1) Commercial Air Handling Equipment and (2) Industrial and Transportation Products. The identification of the Company’s operating segments is based on guidance in ASC 280-10-50-1. The Company's management evaluates segment performance based primarily on segment operating profit. Intangible assets are allocated to each segment and the related amortization of these assets are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. 

 

Both the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment and the Industrial and Transportation Products segment engage in business activities from which they recognize revenues and incur expenses, including revenue and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Company, which are eliminated in consolidation. The operating results for both the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment and the Industrial and Transportation Products segment are reviewed regularly by our chief operating decision maker, the chief executive officer, and is considered in making decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment in assessing its performance. Financial information for both segments is available in internal financial statements that are prepared on a monthly basis.

 

Commercial Air Handling Equipment:

The Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment was added  June 1, 2017, when the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Air Enterprises Acquisition LLC in Akron, Ohio. The acquired business, which operates under the name Air Enterprises, is an industry leader in designing, manufacturing and installing large-scale commercial, institutional, and industrial custom air handling solutions.

MPI offers certified products that meet marine industry standards and regulations. Effective  April 19, 2019, the Company, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Data Genomix, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“DG”). DG is in the business of developing and commercializing marketing and data analytic technology applications. The Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of KT Acquisition LLC (name later changed to Komtek Forge LLC), in Worcester, Massachusetts on  January 15, 2021. Komtek Forge LLC is a supplier of highly engineered forgings for the aerospace, industrial gas turbine, medical prosthetics, alternative energy, petrochemical and defense industries. The Company purchased all of the membership interests of Global-Tek-Manufacturing LLC (“Global-Tek”), in Ceiba, Puerto Rico and substantially all of the assets of Machining Technology LLC (name later changed to Global-Tek Colorado LLC or “Global-Tek Colorado”) in Longmont, Colorado on  March 2, 2021. Global-Tek and Global-Tek Colorado specialize in providing customers with highly engineered manufacturing solutions, including CNC machining, anodizing, electro polishing and laser marking for customers in the defense, aerospace and medical device markets.

The Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Crawford  SEP Acquisition Company LLC (name later changed to Separ America LLC or “Separ America”), in Davie, Florida on  January 10, 2022. Separ America develops, designs, manufactures, sells and distributes oil change systems, fuel and oil transfer pumps, fuel primers, fuel polishing systems and engine flushing systems. The company purchased substantially all of the assets of KMC Corp. dba Knitting Machinery Corp. (“Knitting Machinery”), in Cleveland, Ohio and Greenville, Ohio on  May 1, 2022. Knitting Machinery specializes in manufacturing hose reinforcement machinery for the plastic, rubber and silicone industries. The Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Heany in Scottsville, New York on January 2, 2024. Heany is a specialist in materials engineering solutions for a variety of aerospace, industrial and bio-medical applications. The Company purchased substantially all of the assets of AIC in Stockton, California on August 30, 2024. AIC is a specialist in fluoropolymers and other high-performance coatings solutions for the aerospace, semiconductor, medical, energy and other industrial sectors.

 

The factors used to determine the Company’s reportable segments follow the guidance of ASC 280-10-50-21 and 50-10-22 and include consideration of the type of products or services delivered, the customers and end markets served, the appliable revenue recognition methodology and the length of time it takes to deliver products or services to customers. The Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment was identified as a reportable segment consisting of Air Enterprises, because Air Enterprises is strategically and operationally different from our other companies in several ways. First, Air Enterprises sells equipment to end customers and our other businesses that fall into the Industrial and Transportation Products segment sell products, components and coatings to end customers, not equipment. Second, the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment delivers custom air handling solutions to customers which is different than the Industrial and Transportation Products segment which delivers manufactured metal, silicone, hydraulic and marine hoses, complex engineered components and coatings, highly engineered forgings, highly engineered and machined parts and data analytic technology applications. Third, the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment serves customers primarily in the health care and education end markets while the Industrial and Transportation Products segment delivers products to customers in the heavy-duty truck manufacturing, agricultural, industrial, petrochemical, aerospace, defense, industrial gas turbine, medical prosthetics, alternative energy and emergency vehicle end markets. Fourth, the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment recognizes revenue primarily over time while the Industrial and Transportation Products segment recognizes revenue primarily at a point in time. Fifth, the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment manufactures custom air handling solutions for customers over a period of three to twenty-four months from the time the order is received to the time the air handling solution is delivered to the end customer as compared to the Industrial and Transportation Products segment which sells and delivers products to customers much more quickly, often within 30 days or less. For the reasons previously mentioned, Air Enterprises is strategically and operationally different than the other businesses owned by the Company and management finds it useful to include this business in the Commercial Air Handling Segment which is separate and distinct from all of our other businesses that reside in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of the Company's financial position at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. 

 

Items Affecting the Comparability of our Financial Results

 

The Company purchased substantially all of the operating assets of Heany Industries, Inc. ("Heany") located in Scottsville, New York on January 2, 2024.

 

The Company purchased substantially all of the operating assets of Advanced Industrial Coatings, Inc. ("AIC") located in Stockton, California on August 30, 2024.

 

Accordingly, in light of the timing of these transactions, the Company’s results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 include the results of Heany and AIC in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment. Conversely, our results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 do not include Heany and AIC.

Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

 

Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 (“current quarter”) increased to $36.7 million, an increase of $3.1 million or 9.2% from sales of $33.6 million during the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in volume in the Company's Commercial Air Handling Segment offset by a small decrease in volume in the Company's Industrial and Transportation Product Segment. The overall increase in volume can be attributed to the increased demand for air handling units. Further insights into the performance of each segment are provided in the detailed discussions that follow.

 

    Cost of sales for the current quarter was $26.0 million compared to $24.7 million for the same quarter of the prior year, a slight increase of $1.3 million, or 5.3%, which is attributable to the increase in sales. Gross margin of 29.1% in the current quarter increased from 26.5% in the same quarter of the prior year. The margin improvement is due to a greater proportion of sales coming from our growing Commercial Air Handling segment which operates at higher margins, coupled with manufacturing efficiencies in that segment, which allowed for improved absorption of fixed costs.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in the current quarter were $5.4 million, compared to $4.6 million, in the same quarter of the prior year. This marginal increase in SG&A expenses, which remained stable as a percentage of our total sales, is primarily due to the acquisition of Heany and AIC during the first and third quarters of 2024, respectively, as well as other strategic investments in talent aimed at managing and supporting the Company's growth.

 

Interest charges in the current quarter were $0.3 million compared to $0.3 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Average total debt outstanding has decreased, but interest rates have increased slightly leading to interest expense remaining flat. Average total debt (including notes) and average interest rates for the current quarter were $13.6 million and 7.1%, respectively, compared to $15.4 million and 7.0%, respectively, in the same period of last year.

 

The gain on investment in the current quarter was immaterial. Additionally, during the current quarter the Company sold its remaining stock investment in another public company for proceeds of $0.1 million. The loss on investment in the prior year quarter of $0.1 million is attributed to market price change impacting the Company's stock investment. 

 

The Company had other expense of $0.3 million in the current quarter, primarily resulting from fees related to the acquisition of AIC. The Company had an immaterial amount of other expense for the same quarter of the prior year. 

 

Income tax expense in the current quarter was $1.3 million compared to $1.1 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Income tax expense is higher compared to the same quarter of the prior year primarily because of higher pre-tax income.

 

Net income in the current quarter was $3.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $2.8 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the same quarter of the prior year because of the factors noted above.

 

Commercial Air Handling Segment

 

Sales in the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 increased to $15.9 million, an increase of approximately $3.2 million, or 25.2%, from sales of $12.7 million during the same period of the prior year. The consistent growth in reported sales in this segment highlights our sustained momentum in meeting the rising demand for clean air solutions. 

 

Segment operating profit in the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment for the current quarter was $4.9 million, or 31.0%, compared to $3.3 million, or 26.2% in the same quarter of the prior year, an increase of $1.6 million or 480 basis points. This enhancement in segment operating profit and margin can be attributed to the expanded revenue base, which facilitates more efficient absorption of fixed costs. Another supporting factor of the improved margins has been the continued implementation of various efficiency and continuous improvement initiatives within our manufacturing processes. These strategic measures have further optimized operations and bolstered profitability. The segment's SG&A costs remained materially consistent compared to the same quarter of the prior year. 

 

Industrial and Transportation Products Segment

 

Sales in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 were $20.8 million, a slight decrease of approximately $0.1 million, or 0.5%, from sales of $20.9 million during the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the current quarter was primarily the result of decreased demand for marine products, which was mostly offset by sales from our acquisitions of Heany and AIC of approximately $1.9 million. The decrease in marine products sales volume can be attributed to the cyclical nature of recreational boating demand whereby there was a pandemic-driven surge in demand lasting through the third quarter of 2023.  By design, this segment is diversified and operates across several industries. 

 

Segment operating profit in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment for the current quarter was $1.5 million, or 7.2%, compared to $1.9 million, or 9.3%, in the same quarter of the prior year, a decrease of $0.5 million or 220 basis points. As sales have remained flat despite the two acquisitions completed in 2024, the decrease in operating profit margin can mainly be attributed to the operating costs of the two new entities, Heany and AIC. Many of the underlying expenses within this segment are fixed in the short-term and our ability to absorb fixed cost has been negatively impacted. In response, we have implemented several strategic initiatives aimed at mitigating the effects on our margin and cash flows. These include optimizing our production processes to enhance efficiency and reduce costs, renegotiating supplier contracts to secure more favorable terms, and intensifying our focus on inventory management to minimize excess inventory.

Results of Operations  Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

 

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (“current year-to-date period”) increased to $112.8 million, a modest increase of $2.8 million or 2.5% from sales of $110.1 million during the same period of the prior year. The increase in sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in volume in the Company's Commercial Air Handling Segment partially offset by a decrease in volume in the Company's Industrial and Transportation Product Segment. The overall increase in volume can largely be attributed to the macroeconomic trend of increased demand for air handling units being partially offset by decreased demand within the boating market. Further insights into the performance of each segment are provided in the detailed discussions that follow.

 

    Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 remained flat at $81.5 million compared to $80.2 million for the same period of the prior year.  Gross margin of 27.8% in the current year-to-date period exceeds 27.2% in the same period of the prior year. The gross margin improvement is largely due to a greater proportion of sales coming from the Commercial Air Handling segment which operates at higher margins.

 

SG&A expenses in the current year-to-date period were $16.4 million, compared to $15.3 million, in the same period of last year. SG&A costs have risen compared to the prior year period as we have strategically increased our investment in talent to support growth.

 

Interest charges in the current year-to-date period were $0.8 million compared to $1.0 million in the same period of the prior year. Average total debt outstanding has decreased, which has been partially offset by rising interest rates. Average total debt (including notes) and average interest rates for the current year-to-date period were $13.9 million and 7.1%, respectively, compared to $19.3 million and 6.7%, respectively, in the same period of last year.

 

The loss on investment in the current year-to-date period was $0.4 million due to changes in the market value of the Company's stock investment in another public company. Additionally, during the current year-to-date period the Company sold its remaining stock investment for proceeds of $0.3 million. The loss on investment in the same period of the prior year was immaterial.

 

The Company recognized other expense of $0.4 million in the current year-to-date period, resulting from fees related to the purchases of Heany Industries, Inc and Advanced Industrial Coatings, Inc. The Company had other income of $0.3 million for the same period of the prior year, resulting from incentives that Global-Tek received from the government of Puerto Rico that did not recur in the current year-to-date period.

 

Income tax expense in the current year-to-date period was $3.8 million compared to $3.8 million in the same year-to-date period of the prior year. Despite the $0.5 million decrease in pre-tax net income, income tax expense remained flat compared to the same period of the prior year as a result of a smaller proportion of pre-tax net income being generated in Puerto Rico, which has a lower tax rate.

 

Net income in the current year-to-date period was $9.6 million, or $2.72 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $10.1 million, or $2.86 per diluted share, for the same period of the prior year because of the factors noted above.

 

Commercial Air Handling Segment

 

Sales in the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased to $49.3 million, an increase of approximately $5.7 million, or 13.1%, from sales of $43.6 million during the same period of the prior year. The consistent growth in reported sales in this segment highlights our sustained momentum in meeting the rising demand for clean air solutions. 

 

Segment operating profit in the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment for the current year-to-date period was $14.2 million, or 28.7% compared to $10.7 million, or 24.6% in the same period of the prior year, an increase of  $3.4 million or 410 basis points. This enhancement in segment operating profit and margin can be attributed to the expanded revenue base, which facilitates more efficient absorption of fixed costs. Another supporting factor of the improved margins has been the continued implementation of various efficiency and continuous improvement initiatives within our manufacturing processes. These strategic measures have further optimized operations and bolstered profitability. The segment's SG&A costs have remained materially consistent compared to the first nine months of the prior year. 

 

Industrial and Transportation Products Segment

 

Sales in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased to $63.5 million, a decrease of approximately $3.0 million, or 4.4%, from sales of $66.4 million during the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the current year-to-date period was primarily the result of decreased demand in the marine products, machined defense parts, and forged aerospace products businesses of approximately $9.2 million, being partially offset by sales from our acquisitions of Heany and AIC of approximately $4.8 million and increased sales in our machined aerospace parts business of $1.4 million. By design, this segment is diversified and operates across several industries. The decrease in marine sales volume can be attributed to the cyclical nature of recreational boating demand whereby there was a pandemic-driven surge in demand lasting through the third quarter of 2023. The other declines in machine defense parts and forgings are a result of two specific customers placing a pause on orders that we expect will be temporary and eventually return back to previous levels.

 

Segment operating profit in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment for the current year-to-date period was $4.7 million, or 7.3%, compared to $7.7 million, or 11.7%, in the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $3.1 million or 430 basis points. As sales have decreased and many of the underlying expenses are fixed in the short-term, our ability to absorb fixed cost has been negatively impacted. In response, we have implemented several strategic initiatives aimed at mitigating the effects on our gross margin. These include optimizing our production processes to enhance efficiency and reduce costs and renegotiating supplier contracts to secure more favorable terms. The segment's SG&A costs have risen compared to the prior year period as we have strategically increased our investment in talent to support growth.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s credit agreement, by and among the Company, its subsidiaries and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as lender (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $30.0 million. At September 30, 2024, there was approximately $24.2 million of borrowing availability, which has decreased in the current year-to-date period as the Company borrowed cash to fund the acquisitions of Heany Industries, Inc and Advanced Industrial Coatings, Inc.

 

Operating Activities. The dynamics of cash flows from operating activities are subject to variability, influenced by the oscillating demands of working capital and the scheduling of payment cycles. Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $11.0 million net cash provided by operating activities for the same period of the prior year. While billing timing results in largely offsetting fluctuations in several items in the statement of cash flows, the improvement in cash flow from operations can be attributed to partnering with our vendors to better align our payment terms with that of our customers.

 

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $12.6 million, compared to cash used in investing activities of $1.4 million in the same period of the prior year. Cash used in investing activities for the period ended September 30, 2024 was primarily for the acquisitions of Heany and AIC, the purchase of the property in Phoenix in which CAD operates, and routine capital expenditures. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was for capital expenditures in the normal course of business.

 

Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to cash used in financing activities of $9.3 million in the same period last year. During the current year-to-date period the Company borrowed on its revolving credit facility to fund the acquisitions noted above. In the first nine months of the prior year the Company utilized cash flow from operations to pay down debt.

 

The Company is actively managing its business to generate cash flow. We believe that cash and availability on our revolving credit facility to be sufficient to fund working capital needs and service principal and interest payments due related to the bank debt and notes payable for at least the next 12 months. Based on a combination of sustained profitability and significant borrowing capacity, the Company believes it is well positioned to support ongoing operations as well as growth initiatives. Notwithstanding the Company's expectations, if the Company's operating results decrease as the result of pressures on the business due to, for example, supply chain interruptions or delays, increases in material, freight or labor costs, inflationary pressures, currency or interest rate fluctuations, lost customers, regulatory issues, a downturn in general economic conditions, or the Company's failure to execute its business plans, the Company may require additional financing, or may be unable to comply with its obligations under the credit facility, and its lenders could demand repayment of any amounts outstanding under the Company’s credit facility. See Notes 8 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on the Company's total debt.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

From time to time, the Company enters into performance and payment bonds in the ordinary course of business. These bonds are secured by certain assets of the Company until the Company’s completion of certain contractual requirements. At September 30, 2024, the Company had no secured performance and payment bonds  as surety on completion of the requirements of certain commercial air handling contracts. The Company has no other off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303 paragraph (a)(4)(ii)) that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditure or capital resources.)

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions which affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that are used to prepare financial statements. Management has made their best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. We do not believe that there is great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions related to the accounting policies described below. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed below. On a regular basis, critical accounting policies are reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue with respect to customer orders when our obligations under the contract terms are satisfied and control of the product transfers to the customer, typically upon shipment. Revenue from certain contracts in the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment is accounted for over time, when products are manufactured or services are performed, as control transfers under these arrangements. We follow a cost-based input method, since there is no objective output measure that would fairly depict the transfer of control over the life of the performance obligation. Progress on the performance obligation is measured by the proportion of actual costs incurred to the total costs expected to complete the contract. Costs included in the measure of progress include direct labor and third-party. This cost-based method of revenue recognition requires the Company to make estimates of costs to complete its projects on an ongoing basis. Significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to these estimates. The effect of revisions to estimates related to the transaction price or costs to complete a project are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis. Certain contracts may be terminated by the customer; however, in the event of termination, most contracts require payment for services rendered through the date of termination.

 

Allowance for Obsolete and Slow-Moving Inventory: Inventories are valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method; stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value; and are reduced by an allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventories. The allowance is estimated based on management’s review of inventories on hand with minimal sales activity, which is compared to estimated future usage and sales. Inventories identified by management as slow-moving or obsolete are reserved for based on estimated selling prices less disposal costs. Though we consider these allowances adequate and proper, changes in economic conditions in specific markets in which we operate could have a material effect on allowances required.

 

Business Combinations: Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting under ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” This method requires the Company to record assets and liabilities of the businesses acquired at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value requires management to make estimates and assumptions including discount rates, rates of return on assets, and long-term sales growth rates.

 

Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets: As referenced by ASC 350 “Intangibles- Goodwill and other” (“ASC 350”), management performs its impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets at least annually or more frequently, if impairment indicators arise at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units have been identified at the individual company component level, with each individual subsidiary operating company constituting its own reporting unit. For 2023, management performed a qualitative assessment over all reporting units other than CAD, which indicated there were no indicators of impairment. A quantitative impairment analysis was done for CAD which concluded that goodwill and intangible assets were not impaired.

 

Our goodwill impairment analysis utilizes a qualitative approach that compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. To the extent that the qualitative approach indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount is less than the reporting unit's fair value, we apply a quantitative approach as a secondary step. In applying the quantitative approach, we use an income approach to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit. The income approach uses a number of factors, including future business plans and actual and forecasted operating results. The significant assumptions employed under this method include discount rates; revenue growth rates, including assumed terminal growth rates; and operating margins used to project future cash flows for the operating company. The discount rates utilized reflect market-based estimates of capital costs and discount rates adjusted for management’s assessment of a market participant’s view with respect to other risks associated with the projected cash flows of the individual company. Our estimates are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which by nature are uncertain and unpredictable. We believe we incorporate reasonable assumptions into our analysis of goodwill impairment testing for a reporting unit, such that actual experience would need to be materially out of the range of expected assumptions in order for an impairment to remain undetected.

During 2023, revenue at CAD increased from $15.5 million in 2022 to $20.9 million. The revenue growth was 35% and was consistent with the quantitative modeling done in 2022. However despite the strong revenue growth, CAD did not meet the profitability projections used in the prior year's quantitative goodwill analysis. Accordingly, we noted a triggering event and completed a Step 1 quantitative analysis as of December 31, 2023. The quantitative assessment of CAD Enterprises confirmed that the estimated fair value exceeded carrying value by 35%, and thus no impairment existed at December 31, 2023. The key assumptions used to estimate fair value included discount rates; revenue growth rates, including assumed terminal growth rates; and after-tax income margins used to project future cash flows for CAD Enterprises. The discount rate used to estimate fair value was 15% and was based on estimates of capital costs and management’s assessment of a market participant’s view with respect to other risks associated with the projected cash flows for CAD Enterprises. The increase from the prior year reflects the incremental company specific risks related to the missed profitability projections in 2023. Our revenue growth rate for the 7-year period in the discounted cash flow model was 7.7% per year, which reflects management’s assessment of estimated future orders for CAD Enterprises based in part on a Long-Term-Agreement (“LTA”) with the company’s largest customer, inclusive of an expected increase in volume, our previous revenue history including actual revenues exceeding $30 million prior to the recent inflationary environment, and growth in the aerospace industry stemming from post-pandemic travel rebound, geopolitical conflicts and private space exploration. The assumed terminal growth rate for CAD Enterprises was 3% based on management’s assessment of long-term growth rates for the Aerospace industry. The after-tax income margins used to project future margins for the company reflect that most of CAD's non-material costs are fixed, and as revenue grows, much of the growth will fall-through to the bottom line.

 

Our estimates are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which by nature are uncertain and unpredictable. Potential events and circumstances including global conflicts, materials shortages, inability to increase prices to keep pace with expenses, onset of a global pandemic, departure of key employees and loss of a key customer could negatively affect the key assumptions used for the recent fair value test and are similar to the risk factors noted in Item 1A, Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Income Taxes: In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), we account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates. Specifically, we measure gross deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and carryforwards, such as operating losses and tax credits, using the applicable enacted tax rates and apply the more likely than not measurement criterion. Further, at each interim reporting period, we estimate an effective income tax rate that is expected to be applicable for the full year. Significant judgment is involved regarding the application of income tax laws and regulations and when projecting the jurisdictional mix of income. Additionally, interpretation of tax laws, court decisions or other guidance provided by taxing authorities influences our estimate of the effective income tax rates. As a result, our actual annual effective income tax rates and related income tax liabilities may differ materially from our interim estimated effective tax rates and related income tax liabilities. Any resulting differences are recorded in the period they become known.

Impact of Inflation

Inflationary economic conditions during the past few years have increased the Company’s costs (including labor) of producing its products. While many of the inflationary conditions have stabilized, inflationary economic conditions persist or worsen and may be impactful going forward. The Company’s products are manufactured using various metals and other commodity-based materials including steel, aluminum, rubber and silicone. Freight and labor costs also are significant elements of the Company’s production costs. Inflationary economic conditions have elevated these and personnel costs. If the Company is unable to continue mitigating cost increases through customer pricing actions, alternative supply arrangements or other cost reduction initiatives, the Company's profitability may be adversely affected.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The foregoing discussion includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements made regarding the Company’s future results. Generally, these statements can be identified by the use of words such as “guidance,” “outlook,” “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “seeks,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements, or other statements made by the Company, are made based on management's expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and are subject to uncertainties and factors (including, but not limited to, those specified below) which are difficult to predict and, in many instances, are beyond the control of the Company. As a result, actual results of the Company could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any such forward-looking statements. These uncertainties and factors include (a) shortages in supply or increased costs of necessary products, components or raw materials from the Company’s suppliers; (b) availability shortages or increased costs of freight and labor for the Company and/or its suppliers; (c) actions that governments, businesses and individuals take in response to public health crises, including mandatory business closures and restrictions on onsite commercial interactions; (d) conditions in the global and regional economies and economic activity, including slow economic growth or recession, inflation, currency and credit market volatility, reduced capital expenditures and changes in government trade, fiscal, tax and monetary policies; (e) adverse effects from evolving geopolitical conditions, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and Israel; (f) the Company's ability to effectively integrate acquisitions, and manage the larger operations of the combined businesses, (g) the Company's dependence upon a limited number of customers and the aerospace industry, (h) the highly competitive industries in which the Company operates, which includes several competitors with greater financial resources and larger sales organizations, (i) the Company's ability to capitalize on market opportunities in certain sectors, (j) the Company's ability to obtain cost effective financing and (k) the Company's ability to satisfy obligations under its financing arrangements, and the other risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report Form 10-K and the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC.

The Company’s Summary of Significant Accounting Policies is provided with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In  November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU enhances reportable segment disclosures on both an annual and interim basis primarily in regard to the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss. In addition, the ASU requires disclosure, by segment, of other items included in the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss, including qualitative information describing the composition, nature and type of each item. The ASU also expands disclosure requirements related to the CODM, including how the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss are used to assess segment performance and allocate resources, the method used to allocate overhead for significant segment expenses and others. Lastly, all previously required annual segment reporting disclosures under Topic 280 will also be required for interim periods. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after  December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after  December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU.

 

In  December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU enhances income tax disclosures by providing information to better assess how an entity’s operations, related tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. This ASU requires additional disclosures to the annual effective tax rate reconciliation including specific categories and further disaggregated reconciling items that meet the quantitative threshold. Additionally, the ASU requires disclosures relating to income tax expense and payments made to federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after  December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU.

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting for "Financial Instruments" requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. Financial instruments held by the Company include, among others, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

As defined in FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements", fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the examination of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

* Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

* Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

              * Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

* Quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

* Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

* Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

* Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company's instruments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

 

* Stock: The stock market value is based on valuation of market quotes from independent active market sources and is considered a level 1 investment.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]

5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

 

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired. U.S. GAAP requires that both indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50%) that the intangible asset or the reporting unit is impaired. During interim periods, ASC 350 requires companies to focus on those events and circumstances that affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the asset group or reporting unit to determine whether an interim quantitative impairment test is required. The Company performed its annual impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets as of the last day of the fourth quarter. The Company first assessed certain qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible assets is less than its carrying amount, and whether it is therefore necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. In 2023, for all reporting units other than CAD Enterprises the qualitative analysis indicated that a quantitative analysis was not necessary. For the identified reporting unit, impairment testing was performed as of  December 31, 2023 using an income approach based on management’s determination of the prospective financial information, and no indefinite-lived intangible assets or goodwill was determined to be impaired.

 

There were no impairment indicators identified during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023.

 

Goodwill increased by $1.0 million from $16.5 million at  December 31, 2023 to $17.4 million at  September 30, 2024. The increase in Goodwill was driven by an addition of $1.0 million in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment related to the acquisition of Heany Industries, LLC ("Heany") and Advanced Industrial Coatings, LLC ("AIC") in the first and third quarters of 2024, respectively. Goodwill increased by $0.2 million from $16.2 million at  December 31, 2022 to $16.5 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in Goodwill was driven by a purchase accounting adjustment to Goodwill, recorded in the second quarter of 2023, for Knitting Machinery Company of America (KMC).

8.  BANK DEBT 

 

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as lender (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

 

The Company entered into a sixth amendment to the Credit Agreement on  June 12, 2023. The most significant change in the amended Credit Agreement was the discontinued use of LIBOR as a reference rate, with the adoption of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the primary reference rate. This change was anticipated and aligns with the US Dollar LIBOR panel ceasing on  June 30, 2023.  

 

The Company entered into a seventh amendment to the Credit Agreement on  November 27, 2023. The Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement, among other things, extended the maturity date of the underlying credit facility from  June 1, 2024 to  June 1, 2027, and increases the maximum annual amount that the Company and its subsidiaries  may pay in dividends or other restricted payments to $2,000,000 from $1,250,000.

 

The revolving facility under the Credit Agreement includes a $3 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit thereunder. Interest for borrowings under the revolving facility accrues at a per annum rate equal to Prime Rate or SOFR (previously LIBOR) plus applicable margins of (i) (0.25%) for Prime Rate loans and (ii) 1.75% for SOFR (previously LIBOR) loans. The Credit Agreement includes a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving facility of 0.25% per annum payable quarterly.

 

The obligations of the Company and other borrowers under the Credit Agreement are secured by a blanket lien on all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement also includes customary representations and warranties and applicable reporting requirements and covenants. The financial covenants under the Credit Agreement include a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum senior funded debt to EBITDA ratio and a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA ratio.

 

On May 16, 2024, North 52nd Properties LLC (the “Purchaser”), a subsidiary of the Company, purchased certain real property located in Phoenix, Arizona (the “Real Property”) for $6.9 million (the “Purchase Price”) from Loudermilk, Inc. and its affiliate. The Real Property is utilized by the Company’s subsidiary, CAD, and was previously leased by CAD. The Company exercised its option to purchase the Real Property, which was independently appraised at a value substantially in excess of the Purchase Price. The purchase of the Real Property was financed with a loan of approximately $5.9 million by MidFirst Bank (the “Lender”) to the Purchaser made pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated  May 16, 2024 by and between the Purchaser and the Lender (the “Loan Agreement”). The loan is secured by the Real Property and guaranteed by the Company and CAD, accrues interest at an annual rate of 7.14%, and is payable in monthly installments until the May 16, 2034 maturity date. The Loan Agreement provides for customary covenants and events of default, including covenants which require the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.2x and a tangible net worth of not less than $10 million, each as of the end of any fiscal year. If the loan is repaid within the next five years, it may be subject to a prepayment premium as further described in the Loan Agreement. The Company entered into an eighth amendment to the Credit Agreement on May 16, 2024, which adopted amendments necessary to permit the purchase of the Real Property and the financing of the purchase pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

 

The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement and Loan Agreement at September 30, 2024.

The Company had $24.2 million and $24.9 million available to borrow on the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, respectively. Although borrowings on the revolving credit facility remained relatively consistent during the period ended September 30, 2024, the facility was utilized to finance the acquisitions of Heany for $6.6 million and AIC for $4.3 million, with these increases largely offset by repayments made during the current year to date period.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

13. REVENUE RECOGNITION  

 

Revenue is recognized when the Company's obligations under the contract terms are satisfied and control of the product transfers to the customer, typically upon shipment. Revenue from certain contracts in the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment is accounted for over time, as control transfers under these arrangements.

 

Contract assets primarily relate to the Commercial Air Handling segment’s rights to consideration for progress on performance obligations, measured by the proportion of actual costs incurred to the total costs expected to complete the contract, but not contractually billable at the reporting date. The contract assets are reclassified into the receivables balance when the rights to receive payment become unconditional. Substantially all contract assets are expected to be billed and collected within twelve months. The Company has no history of material cancellations or write-offs involving its contract assets.

 

Unearned revenue represents amounts collected from, or invoiced to, a customer in advance of revenue recognition. The liability for unearned revenue is reversed when the Company satisfies its performance obligations, which are typically satisfied within twelve months, but could span up to twenty-four months. All unearned revenue is recorded as a current liability, as performance periods beyond one year are usually due to unexpected circumstances outside of the Company’s control such as construction delays.

 

At December 31, 2023, the unearned revenue balance was $5.6 million, substantially all of which was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

14. SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION  

 

The Company reports operations for two business segments: (1) Commercial Air Handling Equipment and (2) Industrial and Transportation Products. The identification of the Company’s operating segments is based on guidance in ASC 280-10-50-1. The Company's management evaluates segment performance based primarily on segment operating profit. Intangible assets are allocated to each segment and the related amortization of these assets are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. 

 

Both the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment and the Industrial and Transportation Products segment engage in business activities from which they recognize revenues and incur expenses, including revenue and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Company, which are eliminated in consolidation. The operating results for both the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment and the Industrial and Transportation Products segment are reviewed regularly by our chief operating decision maker, the chief executive officer, and is considered in making decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment in assessing its performance. Financial information for both segments is available in internal financial statements that are prepared on a monthly basis.

 

Commercial Air Handling Equipment:

The Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment was added  June 1, 2017, when the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Air Enterprises Acquisition LLC in Akron, Ohio. The acquired business, which operates under the name Air Enterprises, is an industry leader in designing, manufacturing and installing large-scale commercial, institutional, and industrial custom air handling solutions. Its customers are typically in the health care, education and pharmaceutical markets in the United States. This segment also sells to select international markets. The custom air handling units are constructed of non-corrosive aluminum, resulting in sustainable, long-lasting, and energy efficient solutions with life expectancies of 50 years or more. These products are distributed through a network of sales representatives, based on relationships with health care networks, building contractors and engineering firms. The custom air handling equipment is designed, manufactured and installed under the brand names FactoryBilt® and SiteBilt®. FactoryBilt® air handling solutions are designed, fabricated and assembled in a vertically integrated process entirely within the Akron, Ohio facility. SiteBilt® air handling solutions are designed and fabricated in Akron, but are then crated and shipped to the field and assembled on-site.

 

Industrial and Transportation Products: 

The Industrial and Transportation Products segment was added  July 1, 2016, when the Company purchased the assets of Federal Hose Manufacturing, LLC of Painesville, Ohio. This business segment includes the manufacture of flexible interlocking metal hoses and the distribution of silicone and hydraulic hoses. Metal hoses are sold primarily to major heavy-duty truck manufacturers and major aftermarket suppliers in North America. Metal hoses are also sold into the agricultural, industrial and petrochemical markets. Silicone hoses are distributed to a number of industries in North America, including agriculture and general industrial markets. The Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CAD in Phoenix, Arizona on  July 1, 2018. CAD provides complete end-to-end engineering, machining, grinding, welding, brazing, heat treat and assembly solutions. Utilizing state-of-the-art machining and welding technologies, this segment is an industry leader in providing complex components produced from nickel-based superalloys and stainless steels. CAD’s quality certifications include ISO 9001:2015/AS9100D, as well as Nadcap accreditation for Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI), Heat Treating/Braze, Non-Conventional Machining EDM, and TIG/E-Beam welding. The Company added the distribution of marine hose to this segment through the acquisition of the assets of MPI Products, Inc. (“MPI”) on  January 2, 2020. MPI specializes in rubber and plastic marine hose for the recreational boating industry. MPI offers certified products that meet marine industry standards and regulations. Effective  April 19, 2019, the Company, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Data Genomix, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“DG”). DG is in the business of developing and commercializing marketing and data analytic technology applications. The Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of KT Acquisition LLC (name later changed to Komtek Forge LLC), in Worcester, Massachusetts on  January 15, 2021. Komtek Forge LLC is a supplier of highly engineered forgings for the aerospace, industrial gas turbine, medical prosthetics, alternative energy, petrochemical and defense industries. The Company purchased all of the membership interests of Global-Tek-Manufacturing LLC (“Global-Tek”), in Ceiba, Puerto Rico and substantially all of the assets of Machining Technology LLC (name later changed to Global-Tek Colorado LLC or “Global-Tek Colorado”) in Longmont, Colorado on  March 2, 2021. Global-Tek and Global-Tek Colorado specialize in providing customers with highly engineered manufacturing solutions, including CNC machining, anodizing, electro polishing and laser marking for customers in the defense, aerospace and medical device markets. The Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Emergency Hydraulics LLC (“Emergency Hydraulics”), in Ocala, Florida on  July 1, 2021. Emergency Hydraulics provides hydraulic hoses, air tank assemblies and related products to manufacturers of firefighting trucks and other emergency vehicles. The company purchased substantially all of the assets of Crawford REV Acquisition Company LLC (name later changed to Reverso Pumps LLC or “Reverso Pumps”), in Davie, Florida on  January 10, 2022. Reverso Pumps develops, designs, manufactures, sells and distributes oil change systems, fuel and oil transfer pumps, fuel primers, fuel polishing systems and engine flushing systems. 

 

The Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Crawford  SEP Acquisition Company LLC (name later changed to Separ America LLC or “Separ America”), in Davie, Florida on  January 10, 2022. Separ America develops, designs, manufactures, sells and distributes oil change systems, fuel and oil transfer pumps, fuel primers, fuel polishing systems and engine flushing systems. The company purchased substantially all of the assets of KMC Corp. dba Knitting Machinery Corp. (“Knitting Machinery”), in Cleveland, Ohio and Greenville, Ohio on  May 1, 2022. Knitting Machinery specializes in manufacturing hose reinforcement machinery for the plastic, rubber and silicone industries. The Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Heany in Scottsville, New York on January 2, 2024. Heany is a specialist in materials engineering solutions for a variety of aerospace, industrial and bio-medical applications. The Company purchased substantially all of the assets of AIC in Stockton, California on August 30, 2024. AIC is a specialist in fluoropolymers and other high-performance coatings solutions for the aerospace, semiconductor, medical, energy and other industrial sectors.

 

The factors used to determine the Company’s reportable segments follow the guidance of ASC 280-10-50-21 and 50-10-22 and include consideration of the type of products or services delivered, the customers and end markets served, the appliable revenue recognition methodology and the length of time it takes to deliver products or services to customers. The Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment was identified as a reportable segment consisting of Air Enterprises, because Air Enterprises is strategically and operationally different from our other companies in several ways. First, Air Enterprises sells equipment to end customers and our other businesses that fall into the Industrial and Transportation Products segment sell products, components and coatings to end customers, not equipment. Second, the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment delivers custom air handling solutions to customers which is different than the Industrial and Transportation Products segment which delivers manufactured metal, silicone, hydraulic and marine hoses, complex engineered components and coatings, highly engineered forgings, highly engineered and machined parts and data analytic technology applications. Third, the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment serves customers primarily in the health care and education end markets while the Industrial and Transportation Products segment delivers products to customers in the heavy-duty truck manufacturing, agricultural, industrial, petrochemical, aerospace, defense, industrial gas turbine, medical prosthetics, alternative energy and emergency vehicle end markets. Fourth, the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment recognizes revenue primarily over time while the Industrial and Transportation Products segment recognizes revenue primarily at a point in time. Fifth, the Commercial Air Handling Equipment segment manufactures custom air handling solutions for customers over a period of three to twenty-four months from the time the order is received to the time the air handling solution is delivered to the end customer as compared to the Industrial and Transportation Products segment which sells and delivers products to customers much more quickly, often within 30 days or less. For the reasons previously mentioned, Air Enterprises is strategically and operationally different than the other businesses owned by the Company and management finds it useful to include this business in the Commercial Air Handling Segment which is separate and distinct from all of our other businesses that reside in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In  November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU enhances reportable segment disclosures on both an annual and interim basis primarily in regard to the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss. In addition, the ASU requires disclosure, by segment, of other items included in the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss, including qualitative information describing the composition, nature and type of each item. The ASU also expands disclosure requirements related to the CODM, including how the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss are used to assess segment performance and allocate resources, the method used to allocate overhead for significant segment expenses and others. Lastly, all previously required annual segment reporting disclosures under Topic 280 will also be required for interim periods. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after  December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after  December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU.

 

In  December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU enhances income tax disclosures by providing information to better assess how an entity’s operations, related tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. This ASU requires additional disclosures to the annual effective tax rate reconciliation including specific categories and further disaggregated reconciling items that meet the quantitative threshold. Additionally, the ASU requires disclosures relating to income tax expense and payments made to federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after  December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU.

 

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting for "Financial Instruments" requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. Financial instruments held by the Company include, among others, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value Measurements

 

As defined in FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements", fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the examination of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

* Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

* Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

              * Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

* Quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

* Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

* Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

* Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company's instruments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

 

* Stock: The stock market value is based on valuation of market quotes from independent active market sources and is considered a level 1 investment.
