NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Coleman Cable, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Coleman,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements is in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules or regulations. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All amounts are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 – “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2013 -02”)

ASU No. 2013-02 requires entities to disclose additional information about reclassification adjustments, including changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and significant items reclassified out of AOCI. The new disclosure requirements do not amend any existing requirements for reporting net income or Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). An entity is required to disaggregate the total change of each component of OCI and separately present (1) reclassification adjustments and (2) current-period OCI. Additionally, the amendments require an entity to present information about significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component either (1) on the face of the statement where net income is presented or (2) as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The ASU does not change the current requirements for interim financial statement reporting or comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this provision during the first quarter ended March 31, 2013 and it did not have material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04 – “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (“ASU No. 2012 -04”)

ASU No. 2012-04 contains amendments to clarify the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the ASC that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, the amendments are intended to make the ASC easier to understand and the fair value measurement guidance easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing needed clarifications. The amendments that do not have transition guidance were effective upon issuance. The amendments that are subject to the transition guidance are effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted these amendments during the first quarter ended March 31, 2013 and they did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 – “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU No. 2011-11”)

ASU No. 2011-11 amends existing guidance by enhancing disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with Section 201-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. ASU No. 2011-11 requires retrospective application, and it is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company adopted the provisions in ASU No. 2011-11 and the clarifying amendments included in ASU 2013-01 during the first quarter ended March 31, 2013 and they did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

3. ACQUISITIONS

On May 31, 2012, Coleman, through a 100%-owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of most of the operating assets (and assumed certain liabilities) of Watteredge, Inc., (“WE”) an Ohio corporation that designs, manufactures and sells secondary power connectors, including electric arc furnace cables, resistance welding cables, industrial high-performance copper bus and accessories, and other high performance power conduction devices and accessories. WE serves the steel, chemical, chlorine, power generation, fiberglass and automotive industries and sells its products and services worldwide. Coleman retained WE’s workforce and has continued all of WE’s production at its current manufacturing plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. We believe the acquisition of WE strengthens and provides for greater diversification of our overall portfolio.

The acquisition of the assets of WE was structured as an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $33,922 (equal to a $35,000 preliminary purchase price adjusted by a $1,078 working capital adjustment). The transaction was funded with proceeds from Coleman’s existing credit facility. WE has been included as a component of our Engineered Solutions segment reported herein.

Purchase Price Allocations

WE was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, we have allocated the purchase price to the net assets acquired based on the related estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The expected long-term growth, increased market position and expected synergies to be generated from the acquisition are the primary factors which gave rise to acquisition price for WE, which resulted in the recognition of goodwill.

The purchase price allocation for WE was finalized during the third quarter of 2012.

The table below summarizes the final allocations of purchase price related to WE.

Our restructuring reserve was $1,148 as of March 31, 2013, recorded within accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities, which represents our estimate of the remaining liability existing relative to a closed property under lease and which is equal to our remaining obligation under such lease reduced by estimated sublease rental income reasonably expected for the properties. Accordingly, the liability may be increased or decreased in future periods as facts and circumstances change, including possible negotiation of a lease termination, sublease agreement, or changes in the related market in which the property is located. Restructuring expense is not segregated by reportable segment as our operating segments share common production processes and manufacturing facilities, as discussed in Note 17 below.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”)

At March 31, 2013, we had $50,000 in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, with $138,686 in remaining excess availability. At December 31, 2012, we had $50,430 in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, with $131,635 in remaining excess availability. The $50,000 in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility approximates the fair value of such debt at March 31, 2013 (Level 2).

The interest rate charged on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on our election of either the base rate (greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and the lender’s prime rate) plus a range of 0.25% to 0.75% or the Eurodollar rate plus a range of 1.50% to 2.00%, in each case based on quarterly average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we pay an unused line fee of between 0.25% and 0.50% based on quarterly average excess availability pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a fixed charge covenant ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 for any month during which our excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below $30,000. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (1) $250,000 or (2) the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, 70% of eligible inventory, with a maximum amount of borrowing-base availability which may be generated from inventory of $150,000 for the U.S. portion and $12,000 Canadian for the Canadian portion, and an advance rate to be 75% of certain appraised real estate and 85% of certain appraised equipment and capped at $62,500, with a $15,000 sublimit for letters of credit. Our current availability does not include additional availability that may be generated by adding real estate and certain equipment to the borrowing base.

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by CCI International Inc. (“CCI International”), Technology Research Corporation (“TRC”) (excluding TRC’s 100%-owned foreign subsidiary, TRC Honduras, S.A. de C.V.), Patco Electronics (“Patco”), and WE, each of which are 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of each of CCI International, TRC, Patco, and WE including accounts receivable, inventory and any other tangible and intangible assets (including real estate, machinery and equipment and intellectual property) as well as by a pledge of all the capital stock of CCI International, TRC, Patco, and WE and 65% of the capital stock of our Canadian foreign subsidiary, but not our Chinese 100%-owned entity.

As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Revolving Credit Facility.

9% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Senior Notes”)

The Indenture relating to our Senior Notes contains customary covenants that limit us and our restricted subsidiaries with respect to, among other things, incurring additional indebtedness, making restricted payments, creating liens, paying dividends, consolidating, merging or selling substantially all of their assets, entering into sale and leaseback transactions, and entering into transactions with affiliates. Additionally, all our domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the Revolving Credit Facility are required under the Indenture to guarantee our obligations under the Senior Notes. Following our entry into the Revolving Credit Facility, TRC, Patco and WE became subsidiary guarantors of the Senior Notes.

Our Senior Notes were issued at a discount in 2010, resulting in proceeds of less than par value. This discount is being amortized to par value over the remaining term of the Senior Notes. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Senior Notes.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Our participating securities are our grants of restricted stock, as such awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. Security holders are not obligated to fund the Company’s losses, and therefore, participating securities are not allocated a portion of these losses in periods where a net loss is recorded. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the impact of participating securities on net income allocated to common shareholders and the dilutive effect of share-based awards outstanding on weighted average shares outstanding was as follows:

9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan for its directors, executives and certain key employees under which the grant of stock options and other share-based awards is authorized. We recorded $1,606 and $598 in stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

     493        5.63         5.6         4,271   

Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of the stock option. When the current market value is less than the exercise price, there is no aggregate intrinsic value. For the period ended March 31, 2013 there were 27 stock option shares exercised. There were no stock option exercises for the period ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were 1,345 and 1,372 vested options with an aggregate intrinsic value of $5,493 and $2,271, respectively.

Stock Awards

In the first quarter of 2013, the Company awarded unvested common shares to non-management members of its Board of Directors. In total, 53 unvested shares were awarded with an approximate aggregate fair value of $500. One-third of the shares vest on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. These awarded shares are participating securities which provide the recipient with both voting rights and, to the extent dividends, if any, are paid by the Company, non-forfeitable dividend rights with respect to such shares.

Changes in nonvested shares for the first three months of 2013 were as follows:

 

     Shares     Weighted-Average
Grant-Date
Fair Value
 

Nonvested at January 1, 2013

     558      $ $4.79

     —         —    
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

Nonvested at March 31, 2013

     517      $ 5.18   

In addition, in the first quarter of 2010, 258 performance shares were granted, which are settled in cash rather than stock. If, at any time up to ten years after the date of grant, the Company’s common stock attains three separate incrementally increasing stock price goals beginning with a price representing approximately 350% of the average stock price on the date of grant, a portion of the awards will vest. The first tranche of these shares reached their vesting price in a prior period. Accordingly, the equivalent of 58 shares of common stock was paid in cash. The cash-settled shares are re-measured each balance sheet date using a Monte Carlo model and recorded as a liability. During the first quarter, these cash-settled shares were measured using an assumption of 83.03% volatility, and a risk-free rate of 1.22%, resulting in an estimated aggregate fair value of approximately $3,834, which is recorded to the stock compensation liability over the estimated derived service period (also estimated using a Monte Carlo model), which was approximately 0.1 years as of March 31, 2013.

Treasury Stock

On August 3, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 500 shares of the Company’s common stock in open market or privately-negotiated transactions. The repurchase plan expires in August 2013. To date, we have purchased 426 shares pursuant to this repurchase program. We did not repurchase any shares pursuant to this repurchase program during the first quarter of 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we repurchased 9 shares of common stock at a total cost of $98 from employees of the Company that were withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligation due upon vesting of a restricted stock award. There can be no assurance that any additional share purchases will be made. The number of shares actually purchased in future periods will depend on various factors, including limitations imposed by the Company’s debt instruments, the price of our common stock, overall market and business conditions, and management’s assessment of competing alternatives for capital deployment.

Subsequent Event

On May 7, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.04 per common share, payable on May 31, 2013, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 17, 2013. Future declarations of quarterly dividends are subject to approval of the Board of Directors and may be adjusted as business needs or market conditions change.

10. RELATED PARTIES

Three of our directors and one of our former executive officers lease our corporate office facility and we had rental expense of $106 and $103 for the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, we previously leased three manufacturing facilities from an entity in which one of our executive officers has a substantial minority interest. Subsequently, we purchased these three manufacturing facilities for $6,505 in the first quarter of 2012.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

We lease certain of our buildings, machinery and equipment under lease agreements that expire at various dates over the next ten years. Rental expense under operating leases was $1,319 and $1,330 for the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Legal Matters

We are party to one environmental claim. The Leonard Chemical Company Superfund site consists of approximately 7.1 acres of land in an industrial area located a half mile east of Catawba, York County, South Carolina. The Leonard Chemical Company operated this site until the early 1980s for recycling of waste solvents. These operations resulted in the contamination of soils and groundwater at the site with hazardous substances. In 1984, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) listed this site on the National Priorities List. Riblet Products Corporation, with which the Company merged in 2000, was identified through documents as a company that sent solvents to the site for recycling and was one of the companies receiving a special notice letter from the EPA identifying it as a party potentially liable under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act for cleanup of the site.

In 2004, along with other “potentially responsible parties” (“PRPs”), we entered into a Consent Decree with the EPA requiring the performance of a remedial design and remedial action (“RD/RA”) for this site. We have entered into a Site Participation Agreement with the other PRPs for fulfillment of the requirements of the Consent Decree. Under the Site Participation Agreement, we are responsible for 9.19% share of the costs for the RD/RA. As of March 31, 2013 we had a $333 accrual and as of December 31, 2012 we had a $33, accrual recorded for this liability in accordance with ASC 450.

We recently received a civil complaint for $2,300 plus attorney’s fees and expenses related to a recent acquisition. We believe the civil complaint lacks merit and is not payable by us. We have not provided for this claim in accordance with ASC 450 as we do not believe an unfavorable outcome is probable and estimable at this time.

Though no assurances are possible, we believe that our accruals related to the environmental litigation and other claims are sufficient and that these items and our rights to available insurance and indemnities will be resolved without material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

12. DERIVATIVES

We are exposed to certain commodity price risks including fluctuations in the price of copper. From time-to-time, we enter into copper futures contracts to mitigate the potential impact of fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. We recognize all of our derivative instruments on our balance sheet at fair value, and record changes in the fair value of such contracts within cost of goods sold in the statement of operations as they occur unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. We had no hedge positions at March 31, 2013 or 2012 to which hedge accounting was applied. Cash settlements related to derivatives are included in the operating section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

As our derivatives are part of a legally enforceable master netting agreement, for purposes of presentation within our condensed consolidated balance sheets, gross values are netted and classified within Prepaid expense and other current assets or Accrued liabilities depending upon our aggregate net position at the balance sheet date.

(3) Balance recorded in “Accrued liabilities.”

As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, no cumulative losses or gains existed in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). As hedge accounting has not been applied to any of our open hedges at March 31, 2013, no associated losses or gains have been recorded within OCI.

We recorded income tax expense of $2,330 for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $1,960 for the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013, as compared to the first quarter of 2012, is primarily due to certain discrete items recorded in the first quarter of 2013 following the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 on January 2, 2013.

14. BENEFIT PLANS

Employee Savings Plan

We provide defined contribution savings plans for employees meeting certain age and service requirements. We currently make matching contributions for a portion of employee contributions to the plans. Including such matching contributions, we recorded expenses totaling $446 and $422 related to these savings plans during the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

15. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE

Accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources or reflect our own assumptions of market participant valuation. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs – Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs – Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

As of the periods ending March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, we utilized Level 1 inputs to determine the fair value of cash and cash equivalents and derivatives.

We classify cash on hand and deposits in banks, including money market accounts, commercial paper, and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less, that we hold from time to time, as cash and cash equivalents. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations.

Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

17. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have three reportable segments: (1) Distribution, (2) Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) and (3) Engineered Solutions. Our reportable segments are a function of how we are organized internally to market our customer groups and measure our financial performance. The Distribution and OEM segment serves our customers in distribution, retail and OEM businesses. Our Engineered Solutions segment is comprised of our most recent acquisitions made in 2011 and 2012 serving a variety of customers such as military contractors, independent distributions, and various end markets utilizing secondary power connectors.

Our Distribution, OEM, and Engineered Solutions segments have common production processes and manufacturing facilities. Accordingly, we do not identify all of our net assets to those segments. Thus, we do not report capital expenditures at the segment level. Additionally, depreciation expense is not allocated to those segments, but is included in manufacturing overhead cost pools and is absorbed into product cost (and inventory) as each product passes through our manufacturing work centers. Accordingly, as products are sold across those segments, it is impracticable to determine the amount of depreciation expense included in the operating results of each segment.

Segment operating income represents income from continuing operations before interest income or expense, other income or expense, and income taxes.

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

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those described in this report under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this report.

Overview

Coleman Cable, Inc. (the “Company,” “Coleman,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) is a leading designer, developer, manufacturer and supplier of electrical wire and cable products for consumer, commercial and industrial applications, with operations primarily in the U.S. and, to a lesser degree, in Honduras and Canada.

Raw materials, primarily copper, comprise the primary component of our cost of goods sold. The price of copper is particularly volatile, and fluctuations in copper prices can significantly affect our sales and profitability. The average copper price on the COMEX was $3.60 per pound for the first quarter of 2013, as compared to $3.79 per pound for the first quarter of 2012, which represented a decrease of 5.0%.

Acquisitions

On May 31, 2012, Coleman, through a 100%-owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of most of the operating assets (and assumed certain liabilities) of Watteredge, Inc. (“WE”), an Ohio corporation that designs, manufactures and sells secondary power connectors, including electric arc furnace cables, resistance welding cables, industrial high-performance copper bus and accessories, and other high performance power conduction devices and accessories. WE serves the steel, chemical, chlorine, power generation, fiberglass and automotive industries and sells its products and services worldwide. Coleman retained WE’s workforce and has continued all of WE’s production at its current manufacturing plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. We believe the acquisition of WE strengthens and provides for greater diversification of our overall portfolio.

The acquisition of the assets of WE was structured as an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $33.9 million (equal to a $35.0 million preliminary purchase price adjusted by a $1.1 million working capital adjustment). The transaction was funded with proceeds from Coleman’s existing credit facility. WE has been included as a component of our Engineered Solutions segment reported herein.

Purchase Accounting Related to the WE Acquisition

The WE acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, we have allocated the purchase price to the net assets acquired based on the related estimated fair values at each respective acquisition date. The expected long-term growth, increased market position and expected synergies to be generated from WE are the primary factors which gave rise to acquisition price which resulted in the recognition of goodwill. The purchase price allocation was finalized as of September 30, 2012.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The results of operations attributed from WE is included in our condensed consolidated results of operations beginning from the acquisition date. Accordingly, the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 includes operations related to the WE acquisition. The consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2012, however does not include the impact of WE.

In addition to net income determined in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures in assessing our operating performance. These non-GAAP measures used by management include: (1) EBITDA, which we define as net income before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (“EBITDA”), (2) Adjusted EBITDA, which is our measure of EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impact of certain specifically identified items (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and (3) Adjusted earnings per share, which we calculate as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude the estimated per share impact of the same specifically identified items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EPS”). For the periods presented in this report, the specifically identified items include restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, and acquisition-related costs.

We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA serve as appropriate measures to be used in evaluating the performance of our business. We use these measures in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and in determining levels of operating and capital investments. We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance. The usefulness of both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures is limited by the fact that they both exclude the impact of interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and taxes. Due to these limitations, we do not, and you should not, use either EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA as the only measures of our performance. We also use, and recommend that you consider, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. Finally, other companies may define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures of other companies.

Similarly, we believe our use of Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA provides an appropriate measure to use in assessing our performance across periods given that this measure provides an adjustment for certain significant items, the magnitude of which may vary significantly from period to period. However, we do not, and do not recommend that you solely use Adjusted EPS to assess our financial and earnings performance. We also use, and recommend that you use, diluted earnings per share in addition to Adjusted EPS in assessing our earnings performance. Finally, other companies may define Adjusted EPS differently and, as a result, our measure of Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to Adjusted EPS measures of other companies.

The following tables, which reconcile our measure of Adjusted EPS to diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, should be used along with the below statements of income for the periods presented, and the accompanying results of operations review.

Earnings and Performance Summary

We recorded net income of $5.1 million (or $0.30 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2013, as compared to net income of $3.7 million (or $0.21 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2012. For the first quarter of 2013, we recorded EBITDA of $20.2 million, as compared to $18.0 million in EBITDA for the first quarter of 2012.

As set forth below, results for these periods were impacted by certain significant items, the magnitude of which may vary significantly from period to period and, thereby, have a disproportionate effect on the earnings reported for any given period. The income statement review below contains further detail regarding these items.

 

(1) Restructuring charges: We recorded restructuring charges of $0.2 million ($0.1 million after tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) during the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $0.3 million ($0.2 million after tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) during the first quarter of 2012. The majority of these charges related to severance and other closing costs, some of which were incurred at facilities closed in prior years.

 

(2) Share-based compensation expense: Our results for the first quarter of 2013 and 2012 included share-based compensation expense of $1.6 million ($1.1 million after tax, or $0.06 per diluted share) and $0.6 million ($0.4 million after tax, or $0.02 per diluted share), respectively. Share-based compensation expense is excluded from our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS in order for such measures to more closely reflect a measure of underlying operating results given periodic fluctuations in the estimated fair value of a significant portion of the underlying share-based instruments.

Segments

As noted above, we classify our business into three reportable segments: (1) Distribution, (2) OEM, and (3) Engineered Solutions. Our reportable segments are a function of how we are organized internally to market to our customer groups and measure our financial performance. The Distribution and OEM segments serve customers within the distribution, retail, and OEM businesses. Our Engineered Solutions segment includes a portion of Technology Research Corporations’ (“TRC”) legacy business that has not been integrated into our Distribution segment, primarily TRC’s military and specialty vehicle business and all of WE.

Net sales

The 0.9% increase in net sales for the first quarter of 2013 as compared to 2012 reflected the following factors:

 

   

$5.3 million attributable to our Engineered Solutions segment, including results for WE which were not included in the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was offset by declines of $3.2 million and $0.1 million from our Distribution and OEM segments, primarily due to decline in volumes.

 

   

Overall volumes measured in pounds shipped declined 1.6% or $3.0 million for the period ended March 31, 2013 as compared to three month period ended March 31, 2012. We measure volume in pounds shipped in our Distribution and OEM segments but not our Engineered Solutions segment.

 

   

Copper prices declined 5.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. However, our sales dollars per pound shipped for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were relatively stable when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. We experienced a $0.4 million decline due to overall price and mix of our products sold.

(1) Engineered Solutions segment does not currently track volume through total pounds shipped.
(2) Represents the average price for one pound of copper on the COMEX for the period indicated.

The decline in volume related to the Distribution segment was primarily attributable to certain non-recurring orders we fulfilled in 2012 that were not expected to occur in 2013. The decline in volume within the OEM segment was primarily attributable to the rationalization of certain low margin customers.

Gross profit

The $3.6 million total increase in gross profit for the first quarter of 2013 was comprised of $1.8 million in gross profit earned within our Distribution segment, $1.1 million from our Engineered Solutions segments, which includes contributions from the WE acquisition in the second quarter of 2012 that were not included in our first quarter results in the prior year, and $0.7 million from our OEM segment. Our increases in gross profit dollars were attributable to benefits realized from facility consolidations and increased sales. Our gross profit as a percentage of net sales (“gross profit rate”) increased to 15.4% in the first quarter 2013 as compared to 13.9% in the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to contributions provided by WE and the rationalization of certain low margin customers.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense

The $1.8 million increase in SG&A expenses for the first quarter of 2013, as compared to the first quarter of 2012, was primarily related to the Engineered Solutions segment. Our recorded expenses include the impact from our WE acquisition that were not included in our results for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Overall, our Engineered Solutions segments contributed approximately $0.9 million of our $1.8 million increase. Excluding the impact of our Engineered Solutions segment, our SG&A expenses increased approximately $0.9 million. The most significant component of our increase, approximately $1.0 million, was attributable to stock compensation expense. A critical component in determining stock compensation expense for certain unvested awards is the company’s stock price. The growth in our stock price during the three months ended March 31, 2013 exceeded the growth that occurred during the first quarter of 2012 which, in turn, resulted in higher stock compensation expense. We also experienced increases of approximately $0.3 million across a variety of categories including payroll and related benefits. These increases were offset by decreases of approximately $0.4 million most notably in sales and marketing which align with our change in sales volumes. SG&A as a percentage of sales increased slightly to 7.9% in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to 7.1% in 2012 due to the reasons stated above.

The increase of $0.4 million in intangible amortization reflects the impact of amortization recorded in relation to the WE acquisition, partially offset by lower amortization expense recorded in relation to acquisitions made in prior years. Amortization expense relative to intangible assets reflects the fact that such assets are generally amortized using an accelerated amortization method, which reflects our estimate of the pattern in which the economic benefit derived from such assets is to be consumed and, accordingly, results in lower amortization in periods further removed from the period of initial recognition.

Restructuring charges

We recorded $0.2 million in restructuring costs in the first quarter of 2013. The majority of these charges related to severance and other closing costs most of which were incurred at facilities closed in prior years.

Segment operating income represents income from continuing operations before interest income or expense, other income or expense, and income taxes. Corporate consists of items not charged or allocated to the segments, including costs for employee relocation, discretionary bonuses, professional fees, restructuring expenses, share-based compensation expense, and intangible amortization. Our Distribution, OEM, and Engineered Solutions segments have common production processes, and manufacturing and distribution capacity. Accordingly, we do not identify net assets to our segments. Depreciation expense is not allocated to segments, but is included in manufacturing overhead cost pools and is absorbed into product cost (and inventory) as each product passes through our numerous manufacturing work centers. Accordingly, as products are sold across our segments, it is impracticable to determine the amount of depreciation expense included in the operating results of each segment.

The Distribution segment operating income increase in the first quarter of 2013 primarily reflected an improvement in both gross profit and operating expenses due to realized benefits from our facilities consolidations. These benefits are expected to recur in future periods. The OEM segment operating income increase in the first quarter of 2013 primarily reflected an improvement in gross profit. The segment was positively impacted by the rationalization of certain low margin customers. The Engineered Solutions segment operating income increase for the first quarter of 2013 primarily reflected the contribution provided by our acquisition of WE which was not reported in results for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was offset by a decline from TRC’s military business, which was adversely impacted the U.S. Government sequestration.

Interest expense

We incurred decreased interest expense due to lower average outstanding borrowings for the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012.

Other income (loss), net

We recorded other income in the first quarter of 2013 reflecting the impact of exchange rate changes on our Canadian subsidiary as compared to a loss recorded in the first quarter of 2012.

Income tax expense (benefit)

We recorded income tax expense of $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to income tax expense of $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2012, with the increase primarily reflecting increased pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate, however, declined to 30.7% in the first quarter of 2013 from 34.5% in the first quarter of 2012 due certain discrete items recorded in the first quarter of 2013 following the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 on January 2, 2013.

Outlook

Looking towards the remainder of 2013, we anticipate modest growth in the overall demand for our products measured in total pounds shipped. We are encouraged by the number of U.S. housing starts that occurred during the first quarter of 2013 representing a significant increase when compared to the first quarter of 2012. There is also increased optimism surrounding U.S. commercial construction forecasts indicative of meaningful growth during 2013. Our diversified products offerings will serve customers associated with this rebound. We believe our capital investments position us well for these anticipated economic recoveries. The impact of these market improvements may not affect our results until the later part of 2013 and continuing into 2014.

Revolving Credit Facility

We have a $250.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility agreement with an accordion feature that allows us to increase our borrowings by an additional $50.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility, which expires on October 1, 2016, is an asset-based loan facility, with a $20.0 million Canadian facility sublimit, and which is secured by substantially all of our assets, as further detailed below.

The interest rate charged on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on our election of either the base rate (greater of federal funds rate plus 0.50% and the lender’s prime rate) plus a range of 0.25% to 0.75% or the Eurodollar rate plus a range of 1.50% to 2.00%, in each case based on quarterly average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we pay an unused line fee of between 0.25% and 0.50% based on quarterly average excess availability pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a fixed charge covenant ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 for any month during which our excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below $30.0 million. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (1) $250.0 million or (2) the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, 70% of eligible inventory, with a maximum amount of borrowing-base availability which may be generated from

Inventory of $150.0 million for the U.S. portion and $12.0 million Canadian for the Canadian portion, and an advance rate to be 75% of certain appraised real estate and 85% of certain appraised equipment and capped at $62.5 million, with a $15.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. Our current availability does not include additional availability that may be generated by adding real estate and certain equipment to the borrowing base.

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by CCI International, Inc. (“CCI International”), TRC (excluding TRC’s 100%-owned foreign subsidiary, TRC Honduras, S.A. de C.V.), Patco Electronics (“Patco”), and WE, each of which are 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of each of CCI International, TRC, Patco and WE, including accounts receivable, inventory and any other tangible and intangible assets (including real estate, machinery and equipment and intellectual property) as well as by a pledge of all the capital stock of CCI International, TRC, Patco, and WE and 65% of the capital stock of our Canadian foreign subsidiary, but not our Chinese 100%-owned entity.

We maintained greater than $40.0 million of monthly excess availability during the first quarter of 2013.

As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Revolving Credit Facility.

9% Senior Notes due 2018 (“Senior Notes”)

Our Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2018 and have an aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million and a 9% coupon rate. Interest payments are due on February 15 th and August 15 th. As of March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Senior Notes. Our Senior Notes were issued at a discount in 2010, resulting in proceeds of less than par value. This discount is being amortized to par value over the remaining life of the Senior Notes.

The Indenture relating to our Senior Notes contains customary covenants that limit us and our restricted subsidiaries from, among other things, incurring additional indebtedness, making restricted payments, creating liens, paying dividends, consolidating, merging or selling substantially all of their assets, entering into sale and leaseback transactions, and entering into transaction with affiliates. Additionally, all our domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the Revolving Credit Facility are required under the Indenture to guarantee our obligations under the Senior Notes. Following our entry into the new Revolving Credit Facility, TRC, Patco, and WE became subsidiary guarantors of the Senior Notes.

Current and Future Liquidity

In general, we require cash for working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayment and interest. Our working capital requirements tend to increase when we experience significant increased demand for products or significant copper price increases. Accordingly, we may be required to borrow against our Revolving Credit Facility in the future upon the occurrence of various events, including increases in the price of copper, which increase our working capital requirements. Our management assesses the future cash needs of our business by considering a number of factors, including: (1) earnings and cash flow performance, (2) future working capital needs, (3) current and projected debt service expenses, and (4) planned capital expenditures.

As of March 31, 2013, we had $138.7 million in excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, and $3.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. We are permanently reinvested in our Honduran subsidiary and do not intend to repatriate funds. Cash held by our Honduran subsidiary of $3.0 million is not available to fund domestic operations unless these funds were repatriated. The Company would need to accrue and pay taxes of approximately $1.1 million if the funds were repatriated. We believe that our operating cash flows and borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations, meet our debt service requirements and fund our planned capital expenditures and strategic acquisitions for the foreseeable future.

If we experience a deficiency in earnings compared to our fixed charges in the future, we would need to fund the fixed charges through additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. If cash flows generated from our operations, together with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, are not sufficient to fund our operations, meet our debt service requirements and fund our planned capital expenditures, we would need to seek additional sources of capital. Limitations on our ability to incur debt contained in the Revolving Credit Facility and the Indenture relating to our 2018 Senior Notes could prevent us from securing additional capital through the issuance of debt. In that case, we would need to secure additional capital through other means, such as the issuance of equity. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we were not able to secure additional capital, we could be required to delay or forego capital spending or other corporate initiatives, such as the development of products, or acquisition opportunities.

Our Revolving Credit Facility permits us to redeem, retire or repurchase our Senior Notes subject to certain limitations. We may repurchase Senior Notes in the future, but whether we do so will depend on a number of factors and there can be no assurance that we will repurchase any Senior Notes.

At March 31, 2013, we have $50.0 million outstanding against our Revolving Credit Facility. Of this total, we have classified $35.6 million as a component of our current portion of long-term borrowings based on our expected repayment forecasting in 2013.

On May 7, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.04 per common share, payable on May 31, 2013, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 17, 2013. Future declarations of quarterly dividends are subject to approval of the Board of Directors and may be adjusted as business needs or market conditions change.

On August 3, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 0.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase plan expires in August 2013. To date, we have repurchased 0.4 million shares pursuant to this repurchase program. We did not repurchase any shares pursuant to this repurchase program during the first quarter of 2013. There can be no assurance that any additional share purchases will be made. The number of shares actually purchased will depend on various factors, including limitations imposed by the Company’s debt instruments, the price of our common stock, overall market and business conditions and management’s assessment of competing alternatives for capital deployment.

Net cash used by operating activities for the first quarter of 2013 was $2.5 million as compared to $21.0 million for the first quarter of 2012. The $18.5 million decrease in cash used in operating activities for 2013 as compared to 2012 was primarily a result of the impact of changes in working capital items. Our inventory levels increased $3.8 million comparing the period March 31, 2013 versus December 31, 2012 as compared to an increase of $13.5 million during the first quarter of 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011. This change in levels is a result of improved inventory management, turnover due to increased sales, and lower carry costs due to the decline in copper prices. These improvements benefited operating cash flows by approximately $9.7 million. Our accounts receivable remained relatively flat when comparing March 31, 2013 versus December 31, 2012, while the change between March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $6.0 million attributable to higher sales during those periods. We generated approximately $6.1 million of additional operating cash flows during the first quarter 2013 as compared to the first quarter of 2012 due to the collection of those increased sales.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of 2013 and 2012 was $2.8 million and $15.2 million, respectively, primarily due to capital expenditures. During January 2012, we expended $6.5 million to acquire three of our previously leased manufacturing facilities. In addition, we had undertaken a number of individual projects across our major manufacturing plants designed to improve our manufacturing efficiencies, lower our costs, and expand our manufacturing capacity and capabilities. Our investments made during the first three months of 2013 were considerably less but include additional improvements to our existing manufacturing facilities. We expect our full-year 2013 capital expenditures to be approximately $14.0 to $16.0 million.

Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2013 was $0.5 million as compared to cash provided of $32.3 million in 2012. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was attributable to less net borrowing from our Revolving Credit Facility related to lower capital investments.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Various statements contained in this report, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. In particular, statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance contained in this report, including certain statements contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” are forward-looking statements.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including those discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (available at www.sec.gov) , may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations include:

 

   

fluctuations in the supply or price of copper and other raw materials, including PVC and fuel;

 

   

increased competition from other wire and cable manufacturers, including foreign manufacturers;

 

   

pricing pressures causing margins to decrease;

 

   

our dependence on indebtedness and our ability to satisfy our debt obligations;

 

   

Changes in the cost of labor;

 

   

failure to identify, finance or integrate acquisitions;

 

   

product liability claims and litigation resulting from the design or manufacture of our products;

 

   

advancements in wireless technology;

 

   

impairment charges related to our goodwill and long-lived assets;

 

   

restructuring charges;

 

   

disruption in the importation of raw materials and products from foreign-based suppliers;

 

   

our ability to maintain substantial levels of inventory;

 

   

increase in exposure to political and economic development crises, instability, terrorism, civil strife, expropriation, and other risks of doing business in foreign markets; and

 

   

other risks and uncertainties, including those described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

In addition, any forward-looking statements represent our views only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our estimates change and, therefore, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to today.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our principal market risks are exposure to changes in commodity prices, primarily copper prices, interest rates on borrowings and exchange rate risk relative to our operations in Canada.

Commodity Risk. Certain raw materials used in our products are subject to price volatility, most notably copper, which is the primary raw material used in our products. The price of copper is particularly volatile and can affect our net sales and profitability. We purchase copper at prevailing market prices and, through multiple pricing strategies, generally attempt to pass along to our customers’ changes in the price of copper and other raw materials. From time to time, we enter into derivative contracts, including copper futures contracts, to mitigate the potential impact of fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. We do not speculate on copper prices. All of our copper futures contracts are tied to the COMEX copper market index and the value of our futures contracts varies directly with underlying changes in the related COMEX copper futures prices. We record these derivative contracts at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet as either an asset or liability. At March 31, 2013, we had contracts with a net aggregate fair value of $0.2 million, consisting of contracts to sell 0.3 million pounds of copper in July 2013. A hypothetical adverse movement of 10% in the price of copper at March 31, 2013, with all other variables held constant, would have resulted in an aggregate loss in the fair value of our commodity futures contracts of approximately $0.1 million as of March 31, 2013.

Interest Rate Risk. We have exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our debt obligations. As of March 31, 2013, approximately 15% of our debt was variable rate, primarily our borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility for which interest costs are based on either the lenders’ prime rate or a LIBOR-based rate. Based on the amount of our variable rate borrowings at March 31, 2013, which totaled approximately $50.0 million, an immediate one percentage point change in LIBOR would change our annual interest expense by approximately $0.5 million. This estimate assumes that the amount of variable rate borrowings remains constant for an annual period and that the interest rate change occurs at the beginning of the period.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. We have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our Canadian operations. Currently, we do not manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk using any financial or derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts or hedging activities. In the first quarter of 2013, we recorded an aggregate pre-tax income of approximately $0.1 million as compared to a pre-tax loss of $0.1 million related to exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of March 31, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In those cases in which we are the defendant, plaintiffs may seek to recover large and sometimes unspecified amounts or other types of relief and some matters may remain unresolved for several years. We believe that none of the litigation that we now face, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flow or results of operations. We maintain insurance coverage for litigation that arises in the ordinary course of our business and believe such coverage is adequate.

We are party to one environmental claim. The Leonard Chemical Company Superfund site consists of approximately 7.1 acres of land in an industrial area located a half mile east of Catawba, York County, South Carolina. The Leonard Chemical Company operated this site until the early 1980s for recycling of waste solvents. These operations resulted in the contamination of soils and groundwater at the site with hazardous substances. In 1984, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) listed this site on the National Priorities List. Riblet Products Corporation, with which the Company merged in 2000, was identified through documents as a company that sent solvents to the site for recycling and was one of the companies receiving a special notice letter from the EPA identifying it as a party potentially liable under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act for cleanup of the site.

In 2004, along with other “potentially responsible parties” (“PRPs”), we entered into a Consent Decree with the EPA requiring the performance of a remedial design and remedial action (“RD/RA”) for this site. We have entered into a Site Participation Agreement with the other PRPs for fulfillment of the requirements of the Consent Decree. Under the Site Participation Agreement, we are responsible for 9.19% share of the costs for the RD/RA. As of March 31, 2013 we had $333 and December 31, 2012 we had a $331 accrual recorded for this liability in accordance with ASC 450.

We recently received a civil complaint for $2.3 million plus attorney’s fees and expenses related to a recent acquisition. We believe the civil complaint lacks merit and is not payable by us. We believe that we have substantial and meritorious defenses to all currently pending matters. As a result of these and other factors and although no assurances are possible, our currently pending matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Although no assurances are possible, we believe that our accruals related to environmental litigation and other claims are sufficient and that these items and our rights to available insurance and indemnity will be resolved without material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the reader should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
