Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Psychemedics Corporation (the “Company”) presented herein, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019, the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019, or any other period.

Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, or “the Company” refer to Psychemedics Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2006 Incentive Plan (“the Plan”) provides for cash-based awards or the grant or issuance of stock-based awards. As of December 31, 2018, 77 thousand shares remained available for future grant under the 2006 Plan. At the 2019 annual meeting, an additional 350 thousand shares were approved for grant. There were no other changes to the plan as described in the 10-K. As of June 30, 2019, 221 thousand shares remained available for future grant under the Plan.

Share-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The compensation cost charged against income is included in cost of revenues and operating expenses as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Share-based compensation related to:
Stock option grants	$	119	$	73	$	221	$	131
Restricted Stock Unit awards ("RSUs")		42		70		98		147
Total share-based compensation	$	161	$	143	$	319	$	278

There was no income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income for share-based compensation arrangements for the three-month or six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

PSYCHEMEDICS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Stock-Based Compensation (continued)

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is as follows (in 000’s except per share amounts):

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Aggregate Intrinsic Value⁽¹⁾
Outstanding, December 31, 2018		398	$	17.09		8.2 years	$	493
Granted		192	$	10.60
Exercised		—
Forfeited		—
Outstanding, June 30, 2019		590	$	14.98		8.4 years	$	—

Exercisable, June 30, 2019		239	$	14.55		7.4 years	$	—

(1)

The aggregate intrinsic value on this table was calculated based on the amount, if any, by which the closing market value of the Company’s stock on June 30, 2019 ($10.09) exceeded the exercise price of the underlying options, multiplied by the number of shares subject to each option.

A summary of the Company’s stock unit award (“SUA”) activity for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is as follows (in 000’s except per share amounts):

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Price per Share ⁽²⁾		Weighted Average Fair Value ⁽²⁾
Outstanding & Unvested, December 31, 2018		19		$	18.20	$	343
Granted		18		$	10.60	$	191
Converted to common stock		(10	)
Cancelled		(3	)
Forfeited		—
Outstanding & Unvested, June 30, 2019		24		$	12.84	$	311

(2)

Weighted average price per share is the weighted grant price based on the closing market price of each of the stock grants related to each grant of stock unit awards. The weighted average fair value is the weighted average share price times the number of shares.

As of June 30, 2019, a total of 835 thousand shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of June 30, 2019, the unamortized fair value of awards relating to outstanding SUAs and options was $1.6 million, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 3.1 years.

6.	Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period was determined in accordance with the treasury-stock method. Common equivalent shares consisted of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and common stock issuable upon the vesting of outstanding, unvested SUAs. Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic		5,514		5,502		5,510		5,497
Dilutive common equivalent shares		9		52		25		55
Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted		5,523		5,554		5,535		5,552

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock options, when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related options during the period. These stock awards are not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the effect would be antidilutive. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, the number of antidilutive stock awards excluded from the diluted earnings per share was 357 thousand and 246 thousand, respectively.

Operating Leases

The Company has six operating leases for office and laboratory space used to conduct business (one of which is for a data center). The exercise of lease renewal options is at our discretion and the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options and when they are reasonably certain of exercise. The Company includes the renewal period in the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company recognized a Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) asset with a corresponding operating lease liability of $1.4 million based on the present value of the minimum rental payments as a result of adoption of ASC Topic 842. The weighted average discount rate used for leases as of June 30, 2019 is 4.1%. The weighted average lease term as of June 30, 2019 is 2.0 years. The operating lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Maturities and balance sheet presentation of the Company’s lease liabilities for all operating leases as of June 30, 2019 is as follows (in thousands):

2019	$	548
2020		648
2021		156
2022		116
2023		18
Total Lease Payments		1,486
Less Interest:		(70	)
Present value of lease liabilities	$	1,416

Current operating lease liabilities	$	861
Long-term operating lease liabilities		555
Total	$	1,416

9.	Debt and Other Financing Arrangements

On March 20, 2014, the Company entered into an equipment financing arrangement (“Loan Agreement”) with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, which it amended on August 8, 2014, September 15, 2015 and October 30, 2018. The terms of the arrangement are detailed in the 10-K.

The weighted average interest rate on outstanding debt under the Loan Agreement was 4.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The interest expense was $17 thousand and $32 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, the interest rate was 4.2% and there was $1.4 million of outstanding debt related under the loan agreement. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants as of June 30, 2019.

The annual principal repayment requirements for debt obligations as of June 30, 2019 were as follows (in 000’s):

2019	$	208
2020		416
2021		416
2022		381
Total long-term debt		1,421
Less current portion of long-term debt		(416	)
Total long-term debt, net of current portion	$	1,005

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01 (collectively, Topic 842). which introduced the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The new standard established a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a lease asset and liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The standard became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019 (see Note 8 – Operating Leases).

In August 2018, the SEC issued Release No. 33-10532 that amended and clarified certain financial reporting requirements. The principal change to our financial reporting is the inclusion of the annual disclosure requirement of changes in stockholders’ equity to interim periods. We adopted this rule for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

14.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income” (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform Act) that are stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This standard also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. ASU 2018-02, however, does not change the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations. ASU 2018-02 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2020, with the option to early adopt prior to the effective date. It must be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract”. The FASB issued ASU 2018-15 to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred for an internal-use software license. ASU 2018-15 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2020, with the option to early adopt prior to the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's actual results may differ from those stated in any "forward-looking" statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, risks associated with employee hiring practices of the Company’s principal customers, development of markets for new products and services offered by the Company, costs associated with capacity expansion, government regulation (including, but not limited to, Food and Drug Administration regulations and foreign government regulation including Brazilian commercial drivers license drug test laws and regulations), risks associated with the delay in the implementation of new regulations, risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations, R&D spending, competition (including, without limitation, competition from other companies pursuing the same growth opportunities), the Company’s ability to maintain its reputation and brand image, the ability of the Company to achieve its business plans, cost controls, leveraging of its global operating platform, risks of information technology system failures and data security breaches, the uncertain global economy, the Company’s ability to attract, develop and retain executives and other qualified employees and independent contractors, including distributors, the Company’s ability to obtain and protect intellectual property rights, litigation risks, and general economic conditions. With respect to the continued payment of cash dividends, factors include, but are not limited to, available surplus, cash flow, capital expenditure reserves required, debt service obligations, and other factors that the Board of Directors of the Company may take into account.

Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The Company expressly disclaim any duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, after the filing date of this Report, in order to reflect changes in circumstances or expectations, or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. All of the forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed above and under “Risk Factors” set forth in Part I Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Report. The Company qualifies all of its forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. The Company cautions you that these risks are not exhaustive. The Company operates in a continually changing business environment and new risks emerge from time to time.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $9.3 million compared to $10.8 million in 2018, a decrease of 14%. The Company reported net income of $0.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2019 versus $1.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share for the same period in 2018, a decrease of 35%. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to lower sales volume as compared to 2018. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $19.1 million and $21.7 million, respectively, a decrease of 12%. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $1.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, a decrease of 43%. The Company declared $0.36 per share of cash dividends to its shareholders in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $0.36 for the same period in 2018. The Company has paid 91 consecutive quarterly cash dividends.

Revenue decreased 14% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a 12% decrease in volume and a 2% negative impact from foreign currency exchange. Revenues from domestic business decreased 10%. Revenues from international business decreased 23%. Revenue decrease of 12% for the six months ended June 2019 was primarily due to a 9% decrease in volume and a 3% negative impact from foreign currency exchange. Revenues from domestic business decreased 7%. Revenues from international business decreased 24%.

Gross profit decreased 19% or $1.0 million to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2018. Direct costs decreased by $0.5 million or 9% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The gross profit margin was 45% and 48% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $2.0 million to $8.6 million for the comparable period in 2018. Direct costs decreased by $0.7 million or 6% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 when compared to the same period in 2018. The gross profit margin for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 was 45% compared to 48% for the comparable period in 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact from lower revenue volume and from an unfavorable currency exchange.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses decreased 7% or $0.1 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2018. As a percentage of revenue, G&A expenses were 15% and 14% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. General and administrative expenses were $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $0.4 million. R&D expenses represented 4% and 3% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. R&D expenses were $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Provision for income taxes consists primarily of federal and state income taxes in the United Sates and income taxes in Brazil. We estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded tax provisions of $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively. These provisions represented an effective tax rate of 43% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded tax provisions of $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively. These provisions represented an effective tax rate of 40% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The Company currently expects the year-end tax rate to be approximately 40%. This rate can fluctuate significantly based on the mix of business and pre-tax income, as Brazil income taxes are based on revenue.

At June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $7.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $9.1 million of working capital. The Company's operating activities generated net cash of $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Investing activities provided $3.5 million of cash while financing activities used $2.2 million of cash during the first six months of 2019.

Cash provided by operating activities of $1.7 million reflected net income of $1.4 million adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $1.5 million, stock-based compensation of $0.3 million and a decrease of deferred income taxes of $0.1 million. This was affected by an increase in current assets of $0.3 million and a decrease in current liabilities of $1.2 million.

Cash provided by investing activities of $3.5 million reflected the sale of marketable securities of $3.8 million, purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements of $0.2 million and cost of internally developed software of $0.2 million. We anticipate spending less than $1.0 million in additional capital purchases for the remainder of 2019.

Cash used by financing activities of $2.2 million included cash dividends to shareholders of $2.0 million and $0.2 million from long-term debt payments.

Contractual obligations and other commercial commitments as of June 30, 2019 include operating lease commitments and outstanding debt, described in Notes 8 and 9, respectively of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

At June 30, 2019, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included an aggregate of approximately $7.1 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company had $9.1 million and $9.8 million of working capital as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The new lease accounting standard negatively impacted the working capital amount by $0.9 million. Management currently believes that such funds should be adequate to fund anticipated working capital and capital equipment requirements for the next 12 months. Depending upon the Company's results of operations and capital needs, the Company may use various financing sources to raise additional funds.

As the Company has previously disclosed, there are greater challenges and uncertainties in a new, large and developing market, such as Brazil. Psychemedics Brasil, our independent distributor in Brazil, has had 55% of its shares acquired by Instituto Hermes Pardini S.A., a provider of medical and diagnostic services in Brazil, including reference laboratory services. We are continuing our discussions with our distributor and its acquirer about the future of our distribution agreement (which either party may terminate upon prior written notice following July 2019), including whether it will be extended, terminated or replaced by a transition agreement for us to continue to sell our drug tests to our current distributor for a period of time. The outcome of these discussions is not certain, and any significant decrease in sales to our distributor would have a materially adverse impact on our business. However, we believe that the overall market demand for drug testing services in Brazil will continue to grow, and it remains uncertain whether the acquirer will have the capacity to supply our distributor with the volume of drug tests that we currently provide, at least in the near term. At the same time, we have also been exploring additional options in Brazil.

As of the end of the period covered by this report (the “evaluation date”) the Company’s management under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President - Finance concluded as of the evaluation date, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that its disclosure controls and procedures were also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no significant change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
