TRECORA RESOURCES AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. GENERAL

Organization

Trecora Resources (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1967. The Company's principal business activities are the manufacturing of various specialty petrochemical products, specialty waxes and providing custom processing services.

The Company’s specialty petrochemicals operations are primarily conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Texas Oil and Chemical Co. II, Inc. (“TOCCO”). TOCCO owns all of the capital stock of South Hampton Resources, Inc. (“SHR”) and Trecora Chemical, Inc. (“TC”). SHR owns all of the capital stock of Gulf State Pipe Line Company, Inc. (“GSPL”). SHR owns and operates a specialty petrochemicals product facility in Silsbee, Texas which manufactures high purity hydrocarbons used primarily in polyethylene, packaging, polypropylene, expandable polystyrene, poly-iso/urethane foams, Canadian tar sands, and in the catalyst support industry. TC owns and operates a facility located in Pasadena, Texas which manufactures specialty waxes and provides custom processing services. These specialty waxes are used in the production of coatings, hot melt adhesives and lubricants. GSPL owns and operates pipelines that connect the SHR facility to a natural gas line, to SHR’s truck and rail loading terminal and to a major petroleum pipeline owned by an unaffiliated third party.

The Company owns approximately 55% of the capital stock of a Nevada mining company, Pioche Ely Valley Mines, Inc. (“PEVM”), which does not conduct any substantial business activity but owns undeveloped properties in the United States.

The Company also previously owned 33% of a Saudi Arabian joint stock company, Al Masane Al Kobra Mining Company (“AMAK”). The final closing of the sale of our ownership interest in AMAK was completed on September 28, 2020. For more information, see Note 5.

For convenience in this report, the terms “Company”, “our”, “us”, “we” or “TREC” may be used to refer to Trecora Resources and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in management's opinion reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in this document. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. In the opinion of management, the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2021.

We currently operate in two segments, Specialty Petrochemicals and Specialty Waxes. All revenue originates from sources in the United States and all long-lived assets owned are located in the United States.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance was effective for us in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Table of Contents
	6

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020–04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASU 2020-04), which provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. This guidance is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and adoption is optional. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on our consolidated financial statements.

5. INVESTMENT IN AMAK AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On September 28, 2020, the Company completed the final closing of the sale of its ownership interest in AMAK (the “Share Sale”) to AMAK and certain existing shareholders of AMAK and their assignees (collectively, the “Purchasers”). The Share Sale was completed in multiple closings pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated September 22, 2019 (which we refer to herein as the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, AMAK, and other Purchasers and resulted in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of Saudi Riyals (“SAR”) 265 million (approximately $70 million) (before taxes and expenses).

As a condition to the effectiveness of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers advanced 5% of the purchase price (or approximately $3.5 million) in the form of a non-refundable deposit. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (i) with respect to any Purchaser that completed the purchase of all or a portion of the ordinary shares allotted to it under the Purchase Agreement on or before March 31, 2020, the non-refundable deposit paid by such Purchaser (or a portion of such deposit for a partial closing) was credited toward the purchase price of the ordinary shares being purchased and (ii) with respect to any Purchasers that completed the purchase of all or a portion of their allotted ordinary shares after March 31, 2020 but on or before September 28, 2020, an amount equal to 50% of the non-refundable deposit paid by such Purchasers was forfeited to the Company as liquidated damages and such amount was not applied to the purchase price paid by the applicable Purchaser.

On March 26, 2020, the Company and one Purchaser completed the first closing of the Share Sale (the “First Closing”). In connection with the First Closing, the Company sold 4,000,000 ordinary shares for aggregate gross proceeds (before taxes and transaction expenses) of SAR 40 million (or approximately $10.7 million) (inclusive of the full amount of the Purchaser’s non-refundable deposit previously paid of $0.5 million). The Company recorded a foreign tax payable of approximately $0.3 million related to the First Closing.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company completed additional closings of the Share Sale with respect to its remaining ownership interest in AMAK. In connection with these closings, the Company sold a total of 22,467,422 ordinary shares for

	7

aggregate gross proceeds (before taxes and transaction expenses) of SAR 224 million (or approximately $59.9 million) (inclusive of $1.5 million which constituted 50% of the non-refundable deposits previously paid by certain Purchasers). As none of the third quarter 2020 closings were completed prior to March 31, 2020, the remaining portion of the initial deposits (approximately $1.5 million) were forfeited to the Company as liquidated damages and were not applied to the purchase price. These amounts were included in income from discontinued operations, net of tax. The Company recorded a foreign tax payable of approximately $1.1 million related to the third quarter 2020 closings which were subsequently paid in the first quarter of 2021.

In connection with the completion of the Share Sale, the Company and AMAK entered into an agreement whereby AMAK agreed to withhold approximately $2.1 million of the purchase price to pay the Company’s estimated tax obligations in Saudi Arabia. The Company finalized the necessary tax returns in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and paid approximately $1.3 million in foreign taxes. All foreign taxes paid created a foreign tax credit to offset U.S. taxes. The Company collected the remaining excess funds of approximately $0.8 million in August 2021.

As previously disclosed, and as a result of the Company’s investment in AMAK, the Company was required to execute a limited guarantee on October 24, 2010 (the “Guarantee”) of up to 41% of a loan (the “Loan”) by the Saudi Industrial Development Fund (“SIDF”) to AMAK to fund the construction of the AMAK facilities and to provide working capital needs. The provision of personal or corporate guarantees, as applicable, by each shareholder of AMAK was a condition to SIDF providing the Loan. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers (other than AMAK) agreed, upon the completion of the Share Sale, to assume the Company’s obligation under the Guarantee (proportionately based upon such Purchaser’s percentage acquisition of ordinary shares in the Share Sale). While a formal written release of the Company from the Guarantee was not obtained from SIDF prior to closing, the Company believes that the Purchasers’ assumption of the Company’s obligation under the Guarantee effectively eliminates the Company’s liability arising under the Guarantee.

As the sale of the Company's interest in AMAK was completed as of September 28, 2020, there is no applicable 2021 financial information to present and it is thereby omitted for comparison purposes.

Included in discontinued operations for 2020 are the following:

8. LEASES

The Company leases certain rail cars, rail equipment, office space and office equipment. The Company determines if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement. The Company reviews all options to extend, terminate, or purchase its right-of-use assets at the inception of the lease and accounts for these options when they are reasonably certain of being exercised.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has no finance leases.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and approximately $42.9 million in borrowings outstanding under the senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) (and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), in each case, under the Company's amended and restated credit agreement (as amended, the “ARC Agreement”). In addition, the Company had approximately $75 million of availability under our Revolving Facility at September 30, 2021. TOCCO’s ability to make additional borrowings under the Revolving Facility at September 30, 2021 was limited by, and in the future may be limited by, the Company's obligation to maintain compliance with the covenants contained in the ARC Agreement (including maintenance of a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio and minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the ARC Agreement)).

On May 3, 2021, TOCCO, SHR, GSPL and TC (SHR, GSPL and TC collectively, the "Guarantors") entered into an Eighth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”) which amended the definition of Consolidated EBITDA for any Measurement Period (as defined in the ARC Agreement) (including any Measurement Period containing the quarter ended March 31, 2021) to allow for certain add backs not to exceed $5.0 million in the aggregate for the 2021 fiscal year related to charges, expenses and losses arising from or related to the prolonged period of sub-freezing temperatures and snow across the State of Texas and the region in February 2021 (the “Texas freeze event”).

For each fiscal quarter after December 31, 2019, TOCCO must maintain a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 (subject to temporary increase following certain acquisitions). TOCCO's Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 1.20 and 1.34 as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Additionally, TOCCO must maintain a minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter of 1.15 to 1.00. TOCCO's Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 2.95 and 3.07 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The maturity date for the ARC Agreement is July 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2021, the year to date effective interest rate for the Credit Facilities was 1.86%. The ARC Agreement contains a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants and the Company was in compliance with those covenants as of September 30, 2021.

For a summary of additional terms of the Credit Facilities, see NOTE 13, “LONG-TERM DEBT AND LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS” to the consolidated financial statements set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

PPP Loans

On May 6, 2020, SHR and TC (collectively, the “Borrowers”) received loan proceeds from loans (the “PPP Loans”) under the United States Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.1 million. The PPP Loans are evidenced by unsecured promissory notes each payable to Bank of America, N.A. The Borrowers fully utilized the PPP Loans to cover payroll and benefits costs in accordance with the relevant terms and conditions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loans mature on May 6, 2022, and bear interest at a stated rate of 1.0% per annum. The Company filed a forgiveness application for SHR on June 30, 2021 and for TC on July 26, 2021. On September 8, 2021, the Company was notified of full forgiveness for the PPP

Loan for TC of approximately $2.2 million. This is recognized as gain on extinguishment of debt in the financial statements. The Company expects to receive full forgiveness of the SHR PPP Loan in accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs of approximately $0.9 million were incurred in connection with the fourth amendment to the ARC Agreement in July 2018. Unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, have been netted against outstanding loan balances.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is periodically named in legal actions arising from normal business activities. We evaluate the merits of these actions and, if we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we will establish the necessary reserves. We are not currently involved in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.

Supplier Agreements

In accordance with our supplier agreements, on a recurring monthly basis, the Company commits to purchasing a determined volume of feedstock in anticipation of upcoming requirements. Feedstock purchases are invoiced and recorded when they are delivered. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the value of the remaining undelivered feedstock approximated $18.0 million and $9.2 million, respectively.

From time to time, we may incur shortfall fees due to feedstock purchases being below the minimum amounts prescribed by our agreements with our suppliers. Shortfall fee expenses were approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months and $0.8 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Environmental Remediation

Amounts charged to expense for various activities related to environmental monitoring, compliance, and improvements were approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months and $0.9 million and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

13. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In March 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20 million in common stock by March 2023 (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The share repurchases will be executed from time to time on the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or through broker-negotiated purchases, in compliance with applicable securities law. The timing and amount of any shares of the Company’s stock that are repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors, including the Company’s stock price, although the Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. In connection with the Share Repurchase Program, the Company deposited funds with a broker to facilitate the repurchases. The Company repurchased no shares during the three months and 633,273 shares for approximately $5.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Stock Option Plan for Key Employees, as well as, the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Stock Option Plans”), were approved by the Company’s stockholders in July 2008. The Stock Option Plans allot for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares.

Table of Contents
	14

The Trecora Resources Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders in June 2012. As amended, the Plan allots for the issuance of up to 2.5 million shares in the form of stock options or restricted stock unit awards.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months and $1.7 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Stock Options and Warrant Awards

Stock options and warrants granted under the provisions of the Stock Option Plans permit the purchase of our common stock at exercise prices equal to the closing price of Company common stock on the date the options were granted. The options have terms of 10 years and generally vest ratably over terms of 4 to 5 years. There were no stock options or warrant awards issued during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020, respectively.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option and warrant awards is as follows:

	Stock Options and Warrants	Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life	Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding at January 1, 2021	487,000	10.87
Granted	—	—
Exercised	(20,000)	4.09
Forfeited	—	—
Outstanding at September 30, 2021	467,000	11.16	2.1	$	—
Expected to vest	—			$	—
Exercisable at September 30, 2021	467,000	11.16	2.1	$	—

The aggregate intrinsic value of options was calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of our common stock. At September 30, 2021, options to purchase approximately 0.1 million shares of common stock were in-the-money.

Since no options were granted, the weighted average grant-date fair value per share of options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was zero.

The Company has no non-vested outstanding options as of September 30, 2021.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

Generally, restricted stock unit awards are granted annually to officers and directors of the Company under the provisions of the Plan. Restricted stock units are also granted ad hoc to attract or retain key personnel, and the terms and conditions under which these restricted stock units vest vary by award. The fair market value of restricted stock units granted is equal to the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. Restricted stock units granted to directors vest ratably over a 1 year period, while restricted stock units granted to officers generally vest ratably over 3 years. Certain awards also include vesting provisions based on performance metrics measured over a 3 year period. Upon vesting, the restricted stock units are settled by issuing one share of the Company's common stock per unit.

A summary of the status of the Company's restricted stock units activity is as follows:
	Shares of Restricted Stock Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Price per Share
Outstanding at January 1, 2021	567,563	7.39
Granted	337,443	7.30
Forfeited	(121,448)	7.98
Vested	(172,114)	7.65
Outstanding at September 30, 2021	611,444	7.40
Expected to vest	611,444

15. INCOME TAXES

We file an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and a margin tax return in Texas. Previously, the Texas Comptroller selected the R&D credit calculations related to the 2014 and 2015 calendar years for audit. The state of Texas

Table of Contents
	15

suspended examination of the 2014 and 2015 calendar years in order to perform a comprehensive review of audit procedures to provide consistency. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we received notice that Texas had completed review of its procedures and initiated additional requests for information which has been submitted for their review. We do not expect any material changes related to the Texas audits. Our federal and Texas tax returns remain open for examination for the years 2017 through 2020. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, we recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax positions or related interest and penalties.

The effective tax rate varies from the federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily as a result of foreign tax credits, state tax expense and stock based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets, specifically for mining claims for PEVM, where realization is not certain.

The CARES Act provided stimulus measures to companies impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which included the ability to defer payment for employer payroll taxes, utilize net operating loss (“NOL”) carrybacks, increased the limitation on the deductibility of interest expense, technical corrections to allow accelerated tax depreciation on qualified improvement property, as well as allowing qualified business to apply for loans and grants. We filed carryback claims allowed under these provisions and have collected all amounts, including interest. The remaining approximately $2.5 million related to our second and final NOL carryback claims, including approximately $0.1 million of interest income, was received in April 2021.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate through business segments according to the nature and economic characteristics of our products as well as the manner in which the information is used internally by our key decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer. Segment data may include rounding differences.

Our Specialty Petrochemicals segment includes SHR and GSPL. Our Specialty Waxes segment is TC. We also separately identify our corporate overhead which includes administrative activities such as legal, accounting, consulting, investor relations, officer and director compensation, corporate insurance, and other administrative costs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

FORWARD LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Some of the statements and information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of the Company’s management for future operations and other statements that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of words such as “outlook,” “may,” “will,” “can,” “shall,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “contemplates,” “proposes,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “potential,” “continue,” “intend,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or our achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from historical results, any future results, or performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial results and financial condition and that of our customers, suppliers, and other counterparties; general economic and financial conditions domestically and internationally; insufficient cash flows from operating activities; our ability to attract and retain key employees; feedstock and product prices; feedstock availability and our ability to access third party transportation; competition; industry cycles; natural disasters or other severe weather events (such as the Texas freeze event), health epidemics and pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic) and terrorist attacks; our ability to consummate, and the costs associated with, extraordinary transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic initiatives, and realize the financial and strategic goals of such transactions; technological developments and our ability to maintain, expand and upgrade our facilities; regulatory changes; environmental matters; lawsuits; outstanding debt and other financial and legal obligations (including having to return the amounts borrowed under the PPP Loans or failing to qualify for forgiveness of such loans, in whole or in part); difficulties in obtaining additional financing on favorable conditions, or at all; local business risks in foreign countries, including civil unrest and military or political conflict, local regulatory and legal environments and foreign currency fluctuations; and other risks detailed in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, including, but not limited to, “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” therein, under similar headings in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Many of these risks and uncertainties are currently amplified by and will continue to be amplified by, or in the future may be amplified by, the COVID-19 pandemic and other natural disasters such as severe weather events.

There may be other factors of which we are currently unaware or deem immaterial that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. In addition, to the extent any inconsistency or conflict exists between the information included in this report and the information included in our prior releases, reports and other filings with the SEC, the information contained in this report updates and supersedes such information.

Forward-looking statements are based on current plans, estimates, assumptions and projections, and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on them. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.

Overview

The following discussion and analysis of our financial results, as well as the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to consolidated financial statements to which they refer, are the responsibility of our management. Our accounting and financial reporting fairly reflect our business model which is based on the manufacturing and marketing of specialty petrochemical products and waxes and providing custom manufacturing services.

The discussion and analysis of financial condition and the results of operations which appears below should be read in conjunction with “Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. These discussions of results reflect the continuing operations of the Company unless otherwise noted.

Our preferred supplier position into the specialty petrochemicals market is derived from the combination of our reputation as a reliable supplier established over many years, the very high purity of our products, and a focused approach to customer service. In specialty waxes, we are able to deliver to our customers a product performance and price point that is unique to our market; while the diversity of our custom processing assets and capabilities offers solutions to our customers that we believe are uncommon along the U.S. Gulf Coast.

Enabling our success in these businesses is a commitment to operational excellence which establishes a culture that prioritizes the safety of our employees and communities in which we operate, the integrity of our assets and regulatory compliance. This commitment drives a change to an emphasis on forward-looking, leading-indicators of our results and proactive steps to continuously improve our performance. We bring the same commitment to excellence to our commercial activities where we focus on the value proposition to our customers while understanding opportunities to maximize our value capture through service and product differentiation, supply chain and operating cost efficiencies and diversified supply options. We believe our focus on execution, meeting the needs of our customers, and growing our business while maintaining prudent control of our costs, will significantly contribute to enhanced shareholder value.

Review of Third Quarter 2021 Results

We reported third quarter 2021 net income from continuing operations of approximately $1.9 million, an increase from net income from continuing operations of $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2020. Sales volume of our Specialty Petrochemicals products increased 16.8% in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020. Specialty Waxes sales revenue was up 41.6% compared to the third quarter 2020. Third quarter 2021 results continued to improve due to the ongoing economic recovery and stronger demand from our end-use markets. However, our third quarter 2021 results include the negative impacts of higher natural gas and transportation costs, as well as continued supply-chain disruptions. Third quarter 2020 results were generally weaker due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on end-use markets and our customers.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $7.5 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared with Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increased due to increased sales volumes and selling prices. The third quarter of 2020 was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. See below for additional information about this measure and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The continued global impact of COVID-19 has resulted in various emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. With the development of variants and increased vaccination rates, the status of ongoing measures varies widely depending on the country and locality. We continue to monitor the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic on a daily basis. Our guiding principle is, and has always been, the protection of our people and the communities in which we work, as well as maintaining the overall integrity of our assets. We are continuing to follow the orders and guidance of federal, state, and local governmental agencies, as we maintain our own stringent protocols in an effort to mitigate the spread of the virus and protect the health of our employees, customers, and suppliers as well as the communities in which we work. As an organization, we adopted social distancing behaviors early, executed the necessary changes to enable all possible job duties to be performed remotely and rapidly identified and executed the necessary adjustments to support optimal productivity for all remote workers.

To date, our plants have continued to operate normally with regard to COVID-19, and our supply chain has generally remained intact, with adequate availability of raw materials. Importantly, under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security guidance issued on April 17, 2020 as updated through August 18, 2020, as well as many related state and local governmental orders, chemical manufacturing sites are considered essential critical infrastructure, and as such, have not been subject to closure in the locations where we operate. However, there have been widespread disruption in global logistics channels and we have experienced some delays in fulfillment of export customer orders.

As an organization, since the start of 2021, we have encouraged our workforce to receive vaccinations against COVID-19 through various means including incentive programs and an on-site vaccination event. However, new variants, particularly the Delta variant, have engendered a resurgence of the virus in many regions. In the midst of changing conditions, we have nevertheless been able to continue to manage our business with minimal impact as we have throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. With improving vaccination rates, we have also recently reopened some of our offices to flex schedule staffing for administrative employees.

Through the third quarter of 2021, we have seen a continued resurgence of demand due to the ongoing recovery of our business and the economy as a whole from the COVID-19 pandemic, which we expect to continue through year end and into 2022. However, numerous uncertainties remain regarding the potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for the remainder of 2021 and beyond (including how the impact of the pandemic on our business and results of operations may change from quarter to quarter), including uncertainties related to the severity of the disease and the emergence of new variants, the continued duration of the pandemic, additional actions that may be taken by governmental authorities and other unintended consequences.

Looking forward, our management will continue to actively monitor the impact of the global pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, suppliers, industry, investments and workforce. We do not currently anticipate any material impairments, with respect to intangible assets, long-lived assets, or right of use assets, increases in allowances for credit losses from our customers, other expenses, or changes in accounting judgments to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law to address the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was signed into law and includes further relief and stimulus provisions to address economic concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was signed into law and provides further economic relief and stimulus to deal with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also continue to monitor any effects that may result from these Acts and other similar legislation or actions on our Company.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We include in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and provide reconciliations from our most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to those measures.

We believe these financial measures provide users of our financial statements with supplemental information that may be useful in evaluating our operating performance. We also believe that such non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our operating results presented under GAAP, can be used to better assess our performance from period to period and relative to performance of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure. These measures are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, analysis of our results under GAAP.

We define EBITDA from continuing operations as net income (loss) from continuing operations plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization. In the third quarter of 2021, we redefined our non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA to also exclude one-time costs for professional services associated with M&A and strategic initiatives. We define Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as EBITDA from continuing operations net of the impact of items we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, including share-based compensation, gains or losses on disposal of assets, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and one-time costs for professional services associated with M&A and strategic initiatives. The historical presentation of Adjusted EBITDA in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been recast to conform to the revised definition.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss), our most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure for each of the periods presented, to EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

Our approximate working capital days are summarized as follows:

Table of Contents
	25

	September 30, 2021	December 31, 2020	September 30, 2020
Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable	39.4	40.0	43.7
Days sales outstanding in inventory	19.3	20.5	21.4
Days sales outstanding in accounts payable	15.6	22.9	24.7
Days of working capital	43.0	37.7	40.4

Our days sales outstanding in accounts receivable at September 30, 2021 was 39.4 days compared to 40 days at December 31, 2020. Our days sales outstanding in inventory decreased by approximately 1.2 days from December 31, 2020. Our days sales outstanding in accounts payable decreased due to the payment of accrued accounts payable at December 31, 2020, primarily related to maintenance spending and certain feedstock payables. In addition, as our sales have increased since the end of last year, our days sales outstanding in inventory and accounts payable have decreased. Since days of working capital is calculated using the above three metrics, it increased for the aforementioned reasons.

Our cash balance at September 30, 2021 was $44.4 million as compared to $55.7 million at December 31, 2020.

The change in cash is summarized as follows:	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020
Net cash provided by (used in)	(thousands of dollars)
Operating activities	$	9,316	$	17,575
Investing activities	(12,014)		58,371
Financing activities	(8,563)		(30,229)
Increase (decrease) in cash	$	(11,261)	$	45,717
Cash	$	44,403	$	51,862

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $9.3 million for the first nine months of 2021, $8.3 million lower than the corresponding period in 2020. For the first nine months of 2021, net income decreased approximately $31.6 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2020, driven primarily by the non-recurrence of the benefit of monetizing deferred taxes in 2020 under the CARES Act. Major non-cash items affecting income in the first nine months of 2021 included the impact of depreciation and amortization of $13.0 million, forgiveness of one of the PPP Loans of approximately $2.2 million, and stock-based compensation of $1.7 million. Major non-cash items affecting income in the first nine months of 2020 included the impact of deferred taxes of $14.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $12.0 million and stock-based compensation of $1.4 million.

Additional factors leading to the decrease in cash provided by operating activities included:

•Trade receivables increased approximately $6.7 million, primarily due to increases in sales volumes. We do not expect any collection issues at this time.

•Inventories increased approximately $2.7 million driven primarily by the increase in feedstock prices.

•Prepaid and other assets decreased $2.6 million primarily related to the payment of our foreign tax liability and regular amortization of our prepaid insurance.

•Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $2.4 million primarily due to one-time costs for professional services associated with M&A and strategic initiatives.

•The above items were offset by a decrease in taxes receivable of $1.8 million as we collected the remaining NOL carryback claims under the CARES Act.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during the first nine months of 2021 was approximately $12.0 million, representing a decrease of approximately $70.4 million from the corresponding period of 2020. The outflow of the funds used in investing activities during the first nine months of 2021 were additions to property, plant and equipment and the rebuild and restoration of property, plant and equipment associated with the Texas freeze event in February 2021 of approximately $12.3 million, partially offset by approximately $0.3 million in proceeds from the sale of assets. The primary source of the funds provided by investing activities during the first nine months of 2020 was $68.5 million of proceeds, net of the deposit previously paid, received in connection with the sale of our ownership interest in AMAK discussed in Note 5, offset by additions of plant, pipeline and equipment of approximately $10.3 million.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities during the first nine months of 2021 was approximately $8.6 million versus cash used in financing activities of $30.2 million during the corresponding period of 2020. During the first nine months of 2021, we made mandatory payments totaling $3.3 million on our Term Loan Facility and repurchased approximately $5.0 million of shares of our common stock under our Share Repurchase Program. During the first nine months of 2020, we drew $20.0 million under the Revolving Facility as a precaution in light of the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We also received PPP Loans of $6.1 million to maintain the continuity of our workforce, including maintaining compensation and benefits. Utilizing a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of our investment in AMAK, together with cash on hand, we repaid our outstanding balance on our Revolving Facility of $23 million at the end of the second quarter 2020 and further reduced our debt with a $30 million prepayment toward our Term Loan Facility in the third quarter of 2020. We also made mandatory payments totaling $3.3 million on our Term Loan Facility during the first nine months of 2020.

Anticipated Cash Needs

As of September 30, 2021, we have approximately $44.4 million in cash, combined with an available balance on our Revolving Facility of the full $75 million. As a result, we believe the Company is able to support its operating requirements and capital expenditures through internally generated funds supplemented with cash on our balance sheet and availability under our ARC Agreement in both the short-term (i.e., the next 12 months) and the long-term (i.e. beyond the next 12 months).

Gross Revenue

Gross Revenue for our Specialty Petrochemicals segment increased for the third quarter 2021 compared to the third quarter 2020 by 61.5%, primarily due to higher sales volumes and higher selling prices for prime products and by-products which were previously impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the third quarter of 2020.

Product Sales

Specialty Petrochemicals segment product sales increased approximately 64.8% for the third quarter 2021 compared to the third quarter 2020. Prime products sales volume increased approximately 2.4 million gallons, or 16.6%, from the third quarter 2020, driven primarily by the continued increase in economic activity including strong demand from many of our end-use markets. By-product sales volumes in third quarter 2021 increased 17.5% compared to the third quarter 2020. By-products are produced as a result of prime product production and their margins are significantly lower than margins for our prime products. Foreign sales volume decreased to 17.6% of total Specialty Petrochemicals volume in the third quarter for 2021 compared to 24.6% in the third quarter 2020. Foreign sales volume includes sales to Canadian oil sands customers.

Processing

Processing revenues were $1.4 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to $1.6 million for the third quarter 2020.

Cost of Sales (includes but is not limited to raw materials and total operating expense)

We use natural gasoline as feedstock, which is the heavier liquid remaining after ethane, propane and butanes are removed from liquids produced by natural gas wells. The material is a commodity product in the oil/petrochemical markets and generally is readily available. The price of natural gasoline is highly correlated with the price of crude oil. Our Advanced Reformer unit upgrades the by-product stream produced as a result of prime product production. This upgrade allows us to sell our by-products at higher prices than would be possible without the Advanced Reformer unit.

Cost of sales increased 82.4% for the third quarter 2021 compared to the third quarter 2020. The increase in cost of sales compared to the same period last year was driven by significantly higher sales volumes, increased feedstock prices and higher utility costs. Benchmark Mont Belvieu natural gasoline feedstock price increased by 103% from $0.80 per gallon in third quarter 2020 to $1.62 per gallon in the third quarter 2021. Sharp increases in feedstock costs were only partially offset by

product price increases which led to gross margin decline in the third quarter of 2021 compared to third quarter of 2020. By-product margins were higher compared to the third quarter of 2020. This was due to higher component prices.

The gross margin percentage for the Specialty Petrochemicals segment decreased from 21.7% for the third quarter of 2020 to 11.5% in the third quarter of 2021.

Total Operating Expense (includes but is not limited to natural gas, operating labor, depreciation and transportation)

Total Operating Expense increased $2.4 million, or 14.1%, for the third quarter 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to higher natural gas and transportation costs offset by outsourcing of certain operating labor.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures in the third quarter 2021 were approximately $3.4 million compared to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2020. Third quarter 2021 capital expenditures were primarily for maintenance and upkeep of our GSPL pipeline, which is used to transport our feedstock, of approximately $1.5 million.

Product Sales

Specialty Petrochemicals segment product sales increase approximately 37.9% during the first nine months of 2021 from the first nine months of 2020, primarily as a result of higher sales volumes and higher selling prices driven by formula based pricing. Prime products sales volume increased approximately 4.7 million gallons, or 10.6%, from the first nine months of 2020 due to higher demand. Sales in the first nine months of 2020 were generally weaker as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. By-product sales volumes in the first nine months of 2021 increased 4.6% compared to the first nine months of 2020. By-products are produced as a result of prime product production and their margins are significantly lower than margins for our prime products. Foreign sales volume decreased to 19.1% of total Specialty Petrochemicals volume in the first nine months of 2021 from 24.4% in the first nine months of 2020. Foreign sales volume includes sales to Canadian oil sands customers.

Processing

Processing revenues were approximately $4.2 million and $4.0 million for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Cost of Sales (includes but is not limited to raw materials and total operating expense)

Cost of Sales increased 44.3% during the first nine months of 2021 from the first nine months of 2020. The increase in cost of sales compared to the same period last year was driven by higher sales volumes, higher feedstock costs and higher operating expenses – primarily natural gas and transportation costs. Benchmark Mount Belvieu natural gasoline feedstock price increased 104% from $0.72 per gallon in the first nine months of 2020 to $1.47 per gallon in the first nine months of 2021. By-product margins were higher compared to the first nine months of 2020. This was due to higher component prices.

The gross margin percentage for the Specialty Petrochemicals segment decreased from 16.7% in the first nine months of 2020 to 12.1% in the first nine months of 2021 driven by increasing feedstock costs as well as higher operating expenses which were partially offset by product price increases.

Total Operating Expense (includes but is not limited to natural gas, operating labor, depreciation and transportation)

Total Operating Expense increased $7.4 million, or 14.8%, during the first nine months of 2021 from the same period in 2020. Operating expenses were impacted by higher natural gas and transportation costs.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2021 were approximately $10.7 million compared to $9.1 million in the first nine months of 2020.

Product Sales

Specialty Wax segment product sales revenue increased approximately $4.0 million, or 22.1%, during the first nine months of 2021 from the first nine months of 2020. Product sales revenue increased as we were successful in increasing selling prices for our specialty waxes in excess of increases in wax feed costs. Specialty wax sales volume increased slightly, while average selling prices increased due to higher wax pricing and a change in mix of sales to domestic versus export customers. Our wax feed is based on certain by-products produced as a result of polyethylene production at major polyethylene producers' facilities on the US Gulf Coast.

Processing

Processing revenues were $7.2 million in the first nine months of 2021, a decrease of 19.6% from the first nine months of 2020, or about $1.8 million. The decrease was primarily due to the continuing pandemic along with the impact of the Texas freeze event in February 2021.

Cost of Sales

Cost of Sales increased 9.8%, or nearly $2.5 million, in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020. This increase was driven by higher polyethylene wax feed cost and higher purchase prices as well as increased utility charges related to the Texas freeze event.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.6 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020.

Depreciation

Depreciation for the first nine months of 2021 was $4.5 million, a $0.5 million increase from the first nine months of 2020.

Capital Expenditures

Capital Expenditures were approximately $1.6 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared with $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2020. Capital expenditures primarily relate to restoration costs associated with the damage to pipes and other plant equipment due to the Texas freeze event in February 2021.

	32

Critical accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2, “RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS” to the consolidated financial statements set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period reported. By their nature, these estimates, assumptions and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience, market trends and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates, assumptions and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were no significant changes to these policies.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

GENERAL

GENERAL

Organization

Trecora Resources (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1967. The Company's principal business activities are the manufacturing of various specialty petrochemical products, specialty waxes and providing custom processing services.

The Company’s specialty petrochemicals operations are primarily conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Texas Oil and Chemical Co. II, Inc. (“TOCCO”). TOCCO owns all of the capital stock of South Hampton Resources, Inc. (“SHR”) and Trecora Chemical, Inc. (“TC”). SHR owns all of the capital stock of Gulf State Pipe Line Company, Inc. (“GSPL”). SHR owns and operates a specialty petrochemicals product facility in Silsbee, Texas which manufactures high purity hydrocarbons used primarily in polyethylene, packaging, polypropylene, expandable polystyrene, poly-iso/urethane foams, Canadian tar sands, and in the catalyst support industry. TC owns and operates a facility located in Pasadena, Texas which manufactures specialty waxes and provides custom processing services. These specialty waxes are used in the production of coatings, hot melt adhesives and lubricants. GSPL owns and operates pipelines that connect the SHR facility to a natural gas line, to SHR’s truck and rail loading terminal and to a major petroleum pipeline owned by an unaffiliated third party.

The Company owns approximately 55% of the capital stock of a Nevada mining company, Pioche Ely Valley Mines, Inc. (“PEVM”), which does not conduct any substantial business activity but owns undeveloped properties in the United States.

The Company also previously owned 33% of a Saudi Arabian joint stock company, Al Masane Al Kobra Mining Company (“AMAK”). The final closing of the sale of our ownership interest in AMAK was completed on September 28, 2020. For more information, see Note 5.

For convenience in this report, the terms “Company”, “our”, “us”, “we” or “TREC” may be used to refer to Trecora Resources and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in management's opinion reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in this document. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. In the opinion of management, the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2021.

We currently operate in two segments, Specialty Petrochemicals and Specialty Waxes. All revenue originates from sources in the United States and all long-lived assets owned are located in the United States.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance was effective for us in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020–04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASU 2020-04), which provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. This guidance is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and adoption is optional. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on our consolidated financial statements.

INVESTMENT IN AMAK AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

9 Months Ended

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

INVESTMENT IN AMAK AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

INVESTMENT IN AMAK AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On September 28, 2020, the Company completed the final closing of the sale of its ownership interest in AMAK (the “Share Sale”) to AMAK and certain existing shareholders of AMAK and their assignees (collectively, the “Purchasers”). The Share Sale was completed in multiple closings pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated September 22, 2019 (which we refer to herein as the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, AMAK, and other Purchasers and resulted in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of Saudi Riyals (“SAR”) 265 million (approximately $70 million) (before taxes and expenses).

As a condition to the effectiveness of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers advanced 5% of the purchase price (or approximately $3.5 million) in the form of a non-refundable deposit. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (i) with respect to any Purchaser that completed the purchase of all or a portion of the ordinary shares allotted to it under the Purchase Agreement on or before March 31, 2020, the non-refundable deposit paid by such Purchaser (or a portion of such deposit for a partial closing) was credited toward the purchase price of the ordinary shares being purchased and (ii) with respect to any Purchasers that completed the purchase of all or a portion of their allotted ordinary shares after March 31, 2020 but on or before September 28, 2020, an amount equal to 50% of the non-refundable deposit paid by such Purchasers was forfeited to the Company as liquidated damages and such amount was not applied to the purchase price paid by the applicable Purchaser.

On March 26, 2020, the Company and one Purchaser completed the first closing of the Share Sale (the “First Closing”). In connection with the First Closing, the Company sold 4,000,000 ordinary shares for aggregate gross proceeds (before taxes and transaction expenses) of SAR 40 million (or approximately $10.7 million) (inclusive of the full amount of the Purchaser’s non-refundable deposit previously paid of $0.5 million). The Company recorded a foreign tax payable of approximately $0.3 million related to the First Closing.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company completed additional closings of the Share Sale with respect to its remaining ownership interest in AMAK. In connection with these closings, the Company sold a total of 22,467,422 ordinary shares for

aggregate gross proceeds (before taxes and transaction expenses) of SAR 224 million (or approximately $59.9 million) (inclusive of $1.5 million which constituted 50% of the non-refundable deposits previously paid by certain Purchasers). As none of the third quarter 2020 closings were completed prior to March 31, 2020, the remaining portion of the initial deposits (approximately $1.5 million) were forfeited to the Company as liquidated damages and were not applied to the purchase price. These amounts were included in income from discontinued operations, net of tax. The Company recorded a foreign tax payable of approximately $1.1 million related to the third quarter 2020 closings which were subsequently paid in the first quarter of 2021.

In connection with the completion of the Share Sale, the Company and AMAK entered into an agreement whereby AMAK agreed to withhold approximately $2.1 million of the purchase price to pay the Company’s estimated tax obligations in Saudi Arabia. The Company finalized the necessary tax returns in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and paid approximately $1.3 million in foreign taxes. All foreign taxes paid created a foreign tax credit to offset U.S. taxes. The Company collected the remaining excess funds of approximately $0.8 million in August 2021.

As previously disclosed, and as a result of the Company’s investment in AMAK, the Company was required to execute a limited guarantee on October 24, 2010 (the “Guarantee”) of up to 41% of a loan (the “Loan”) by the Saudi Industrial Development Fund (“SIDF”) to AMAK to fund the construction of the AMAK facilities and to provide working capital needs. The provision of personal or corporate guarantees, as applicable, by each shareholder of AMAK was a condition to SIDF providing the Loan. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers (other than AMAK) agreed, upon the completion of the Share Sale, to assume the Company’s obligation under the Guarantee (proportionately based upon such Purchaser’s percentage acquisition of ordinary shares in the Share Sale). While a formal written release of the Company from the Guarantee was not obtained from SIDF prior to closing, the Company believes that the Purchasers’ assumption of the Company’s obligation under the Guarantee effectively eliminates the Company’s liability arising under the Guarantee.

As the sale of the Company's interest in AMAK was completed as of September 28, 2020, there is no applicable 2021 financial information to present and it is thereby omitted for comparison purposes.

Included in discontinued operations for 2020 are the following:

Leases [Abstract]

LEASES

LEASES

The Company leases certain rail cars, rail equipment, office space and office equipment. The Company determines if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement. The Company reviews all options to extend, terminate, or purchase its right-of-use assets at the inception of the lease and accounts for these options when they are reasonably certain of being exercised.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has no finance leases.

LIABILITIES AND LONG-TERM DEBT

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and approximately $42.9 million in borrowings outstanding under the senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) (and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), in each case, under the Company's amended and restated credit agreement (as amended, the “ARC Agreement”). In addition, the Company had approximately $75 million of availability under our Revolving Facility at September 30, 2021. TOCCO’s ability to make additional borrowings under the Revolving Facility at September 30, 2021 was limited by, and in the future may be limited by, the Company's obligation to maintain compliance with the covenants contained in the ARC Agreement (including maintenance of a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio and minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the ARC Agreement)).

On May 3, 2021, TOCCO, SHR, GSPL and TC (SHR, GSPL and TC collectively, the "Guarantors") entered into an Eighth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”) which amended the definition of Consolidated EBITDA for any Measurement Period (as defined in the ARC Agreement) (including any Measurement Period containing the quarter ended March 31, 2021) to allow for certain add backs not to exceed $5.0 million in the aggregate for the 2021 fiscal year related to charges, expenses and losses arising from or related to the prolonged period of sub-freezing temperatures and snow across the State of Texas and the region in February 2021 (the “Texas freeze event”).

For each fiscal quarter after December 31, 2019, TOCCO must maintain a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 (subject to temporary increase following certain acquisitions). TOCCO's Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 1.20 and 1.34 as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Additionally, TOCCO must maintain a minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter of 1.15 to 1.00. TOCCO's Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 2.95 and 3.07 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The maturity date for the ARC Agreement is July 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2021, the year to date effective interest rate for the Credit Facilities was 1.86%. The ARC Agreement contains a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants and the Company was in compliance with those covenants as of September 30, 2021.

For a summary of additional terms of the Credit Facilities, see NOTE 13, “LONG-TERM DEBT AND LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS” to the consolidated financial statements set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

PPP Loans

On May 6, 2020, SHR and TC (collectively, the “Borrowers”) received loan proceeds from loans (the “PPP Loans”) under the United States Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.1 million. The PPP Loans are evidenced by unsecured promissory notes each payable to Bank of America, N.A. The Borrowers fully utilized the PPP Loans to cover payroll and benefits costs in accordance with the relevant terms and conditions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loans mature on May 6, 2022, and bear interest at a stated rate of 1.0% per annum. The Company filed a forgiveness application for SHR on June 30, 2021 and for TC on July 26, 2021. On September 8, 2021, the Company was notified of full forgiveness for the PPP

Loan for TC of approximately $2.2 million. This is recognized as gain on extinguishment of debt in the financial statements. The Company expects to receive full forgiveness of the SHR PPP Loan in accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs of approximately $0.9 million were incurred in connection with the fourth amendment to the ARC Agreement in July 2018. Unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, have been netted against outstanding loan balances.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATIONThe Stock Option Plan for Key Employees, as well as, the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Stock Option Plans”), were approved by the Company’s stockholders in July 2008. The Stock Option Plans allot for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares.

The Trecora Resources Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders in June 2012. As amended, the Plan allots for the issuance of up to 2.5 million shares in the form of stock options or restricted stock unit awards.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months and $1.7 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Stock Options and Warrant Awards

Stock options and warrants granted under the provisions of the Stock Option Plans permit the purchase of our common stock at exercise prices equal to the closing price of Company common stock on the date the options were granted. The options have terms of 10 years and generally vest ratably over terms of 4 to 5 years. There were no stock options or warrant awards issued during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020, respectively.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option and warrant awards is as follows:

	Stock Options and Warrants	Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life	Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding at January 1, 2021	487,000	10.87
Granted	—	—

Expected to vest	—			$	—
Exercisable at September 30, 2021	467,000	11.16	2.1	$	—

The aggregate intrinsic value of options was calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of our common stock. At September 30, 2021, options to purchase approximately 0.1 million shares of common stock were in-the-money.

Since no options were granted, the weighted average grant-date fair value per share of options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was zero.

The Company has no non-vested outstanding options as of September 30, 2021.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

Generally, restricted stock unit awards are granted annually to officers and directors of the Company under the provisions of the Plan. Restricted stock units are also granted ad hoc to attract or retain key personnel, and the terms and conditions under which these restricted stock units vest vary by award. The fair market value of restricted stock units granted is equal to the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. Restricted stock units granted to directors vest ratably over a 1 year period, while restricted stock units granted to officers generally vest ratably over 3 years. Certain awards also include vesting provisions based on performance metrics measured over a 3 year period. Upon vesting, the restricted stock units are settled by issuing one share of the Company's common stock per unit.

A summary of the status of the Company's restricted stock units activity is as follows:
	Shares of Restricted Stock Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Price per Share
Outstanding at January 1, 2021	567,563	7.39

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXESWe file an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and a margin tax return in Texas. Previously, the Texas Comptroller selected the R&D credit calculations related to the 2014 and 2015 calendar years for audit. The state of Texas

suspended examination of the 2014 and 2015 calendar years in order to perform a comprehensive review of audit procedures to provide consistency. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we received notice that Texas had completed review of its procedures and initiated additional requests for information which has been submitted for their review. We do not expect any material changes related to the Texas audits. Our federal and Texas tax returns remain open for examination for the years 2017 through 2020. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, we recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax positions or related interest and penalties.

The effective tax rate varies from the federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily as a result of foreign tax credits, state tax expense and stock based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets, specifically for mining claims for PEVM, where realization is not certain.

The CARES Act provided stimulus measures to companies impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which included the ability to defer payment for employer payroll taxes, utilize net operating loss (“NOL”) carrybacks, increased the limitation on the deductibility of interest expense, technical corrections to allow accelerated tax depreciation on qualified improvement property, as well as allowing qualified business to apply for loans and grants. We filed carryback claims allowed under these provisions and have collected all amounts, including interest. The remaining approximately $2.5 million related to our second and final NOL carryback claims, including approximately $0.1 million of interest income, was received in April 2021.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Use of Estimates

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in management's opinion reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in this document. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. In the opinion of management, the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance was effective for us in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020–04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASU 2020-04), which provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. This guidance is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and adoption is optional. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on our consolidated financial statements.
