FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Report are forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. These forward-looking statements include statements that reflect the current views of our senior management with respect to our financial performance and future events with respect to our business and our industry in general. Statements that include the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “project,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “may,” “should,” “anticipate” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

   

adverse changes in the current global economic or political environment or in the markets in which we operate, including the natural gas infrastructure, power generation, and petrochemical and processing industries;

 

   

compliance with United States and foreign laws and regulations, including export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations, which are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time;

 

   

changes in current environmental legislation or regulations;

 

   

risks associated with our indebtedness, the terms of our credit agreements and our ability to raise additional capital;

 

   

changes in competition;

 

   

changes in demand for our products;

 

   

our ability to identify and execute on growth and market opportunities, including through acquisitions and strategic partnerships;

 

   

our ability to realize the full value of our backlog and the timing of our receipt of revenue under contracts included in backlog;

 

   

risks associated with our product warranties; and

 

   

changes in the price, supply or demand for natural gas, bio fuel, oil or coal.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the information in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2013 and Part II of this Report. There may be other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by law.

References to “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to PMFG, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 28, 2013 and for the three and six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the interim periods have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2013.

Each of the Company’s interim reporting periods ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of the corresponding quarterly calendar period. References to “fiscal 2014” and “fiscal 2013” refer to fiscal years ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively. The second quarters of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 ended on December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, respectively.

Basis of Consolidation

The Company’s financial statements for all periods presented are consolidated to include the accounts of all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is the majority owner of Peerless Propulsys China Holdings LLC (“Peerless Propulsys”). The Company’s 60% equity investment in Peerless Propulsys entitles it to 80% of the earnings. Peerless Propulsys is the sole owner of Peerless China Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (“PCMC”), formerly known as Peerless Manufacturing (Zhenjiang) Co. Ltd. The non-controlling interest of Peerless Propulsys is reported as a separate component on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company maintains cash balances in bank accounts that normally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. As of December 28, 2013, cash held in banks in the United States exceeded federally insured limits by $35.5 million. The Company has not experienced any losses related to this cash concentration.

The Company had restricted cash balances of $5.5 million and $5.0 million as of December 28, 2013 and June 29, 2013, respectively. Foreign restricted cash balances were $5.5 million and $4.7 million as of December 28, 2013 and June 29, 2013, respectively. Cash balances were restricted to collateralize letters of credit and financial institution guarantees issued in the normal course of business.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable are due from companies in various industries. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. Generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than contractual payment terms are considered past due.

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a specific identification, taking into consideration a number of factors, including the length of time the accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company and the condition of the industry and the economy as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are deemed to be uncollectible. Payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period the payment is received.

Changes in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows (in thousands):

Inventories

The Company values its inventories using the lower of weighted average cost or market. The Company regularly reviews the value of inventories on hand, using specific aging categories, and records a provision for obsolete and slow-moving inventory based on historical and estimated future usage. In assessing the ultimate realization of its inventory, the Company is required to make judgments as to future demand requirements. As actual future demand or market conditions may vary from those projected by the Company, adjustments to inventory valuations may be required.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over a period considered adequate to depreciate the total cost over the useful lives of the assets, as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements

     5 - 40 years   

Equipment

     3 - 10 years   

Furniture and fixtures

     3 - 15 years   

Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Major improvements that extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the safety or the efficiency of property owned are capitalized. Major improvements to leased buildings are capitalized as leasehold improvements and amortized over the shorter of the estimated life or the remaining lease term.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value. If conditions indicate an asset might be impaired, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The impairment would be measured by the amount by which the asset exceeds its fair value, typically represented by the discounted cash flows associated with the asset.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the net assets acquired upon acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, however, it is measured at the reporting unit level to test for impairment annually, in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary. A discounted future cash flow analysis is primarily used to determine whether impairment exists. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, then the Company writes down goodwill to its estimated fair value.

Intangible assets subject to amortization include licensing agreements, customer relationships and acquired sales order backlog. These intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives based on a pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible asset is realized. Intangible assets considered to have indefinite lives include trade names and design guidelines. The Company evaluates the recoverability of indefinite lived intangible assets annually, in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company uses the market and income approach methods to determine whether impairment exists.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s debt approximates fair value as the debt bears interest at floating market rates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue, net of sales taxes, from product sales or services provided when the following revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company provides certain products under long-term, generally fixed-priced, contracts that may extend over multiple financial periods, where revenue and cost of sales are recognized in accordance with accounting rules relating to construction-type and production-type contracts. Amounts recognized in revenue are calculated using the percentage of cost completed (i.e., cumulative cost incurred to date in comparison to the estimated total cost at completion). This method requires the Company to make estimates regarding the total costs of the project at completion, which impacts the amount of gross margin the Company recognizes in each reporting period. The Company routinely reviews its estimates relating to estimated total costs at completion and recognizes changes in those estimates as they are determined. The percentage-of-completion method generally results in the recognition of reasonably consistent profit margins over the life of a contract. Anticipated losses on these contracts are recorded in full in the period in which they become evident. Cumulative revenue recognized may be less or greater than cumulative costs and profits billed at any point during a contract’s term. The resulting difference is recognized as “costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” or “billings in excess of costs and earnings on uncompleted contracts” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contracts that are considered short-term in nature and require less product customization are accounted for under the completed contract method. Revenue under the completed contract method is recognized upon shipment of the product.

Pre-contract, Start-up and Commissioning Costs

The Company does not consider the realization of any individual sales order as probable prior to order acceptance. Therefore, pre-contract costs incurred prior to sales order acceptance are included as a component of operating expenses when incurred. Some of the Company’s contracts require the installation and placing in service of the product after it is distributed to the end user. The costs of start-up and commissioning and the related revenue associated with the relevant percentage of completion of these projects are recognized in the period incurred.

Warranty Costs

The Company provides warranties for specific products during a defined period of time, generally less than 18 months after shipment of the product. Warranties cover the failure of a product to perform after it has been placed in service. The Company reserves for estimated future warranty costs in the period in which the revenue is recognized based on historical experience, expectation of future conditions, and the extent of concurrent supplier warranties in place. Warranty costs are included in “cost of goods sold” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability approach in its reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. Income tax related interest and penalties are included in income tax expense. The Company recognizes in its financial statements the impact of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, if that position is “more likely than not” of being sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position.

The Company is required to estimate income taxes in each jurisdiction in which it operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, the Company’s provision for income taxes could be materially impacted.

For the six months ended December 28, 2013, income tax expense was 4% of the loss before income taxes. The rate varies from the statutory rate because of the blend of taxable income in some state and foreign taxing jurisdictions and permanent differences and taxable losses in the United States for which no tax benefit has been recognized. At December 28, 2013, the Company had $5.1 million of operating loss carry forwards primarily in the United States available for carryover to future periods, subject to certain limitations and expiring beginning in fiscal 2032. A valuation allowance of $1.3 million has been established to reduce the computed benefits to the estimated future realization of the tax related benefit.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company calculates earnings (loss) per common share by dividing the earnings (loss) applicable to PMFG, Inc. stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units and warrants granted using the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended December 28, 2013, 72,339 restricted stock units with performance and service based restrictions and options to acquire 37,200 shares of common stock were omitted from the

calculation of dilutive securities because they were anti-dilutive. Warrants to acquire 839,063 shares of common stock were omitted from the calculation of dilutive securities for the three and six months ended December 28, 2013 and the three and six months ended December 29, 2012 because they were anti-dilutive.

The warrants entitle the holders to purchase common stock for $10.56 per share, through a cashless exercise. The warrants expire on September 4, 2014.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

In September 2012, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and other financial institutions party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, revolving credit commitments of $30.0 million to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, term loan commitments of $2.0 million to be used for the purchase of equipment for a manufacturing facility in Denton, Texas (“Term Loan A”) and term loan commitments of $10.0 million to fund the construction of the Denton facility (“Term Loan B”). All borrowings and other obligations of the Company are guaranteed by substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

The revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement will terminate on September 30, 2015, and all revolving credit loans mature on that date. Under the revolving credit facility, the Company has a maximum borrowing availability equal to the lesser of (a) $30.0 million or (b) the sum of 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory plus 100% of the cash amount held in a special collateral account less a foreign currency letter of credit reserve. At December 28, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings and approximately $5.6 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement, leaving the Company with approximately $5.9 million of available capacity for additional borrowings and letters of credit under the Credit Agreement.

The term loan commitments expire 18 months after the date of the Credit Agreement. Beginning June 30, 2014, the Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the term loans that were incurred during that 18-month period. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain an interest rate protection agreement with respect to at least 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the term loans.

Interest on all loans must generally be paid quarterly. Interest rates on term loans use floating rates plus  1/2 of 1% up to 2%, plus a margin of between 0 to 75 basis points based upon the Company’s consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four consecutive fiscal quarters.

At December 28, 2013, the Company was required to maintain a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (“CTL”) not to exceed 1.75 to 1.00 and a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSC”) of not less than 1.50 to 1.00. The CTL ratio is calculated as the ratio of the Company’s aggregate total liabilities to the sum of the excess of the Company’s total assets over its total liabilities as each is determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The DSC ratio is calculated as the ratio of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA less certain

restricted cash payments, capitalized expenditures and taxes to the Company’s consolidated fixed charges, which is the sum of the Company’s current maturities of long-term debt and the amount of cash paid for interest on a trailing 12 month basis. The Credit Agreement also contains other covenants, including restrictions on additional debt, dividends, capital expenditures, acquisitions and dispositions. At December 28, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with limitations on capital expenditures and the DSC ratio. Subsequent to December 28, 2013, the Company obtained a limited waiver of the covenants. The limit on the capital expenditure was increased and the defined calculation of the DSC was adjusted so the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

On September 30, 2013, the Company and its subsidiary, Peerless Mfg. Co., entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment allows the Company to permit maturity dates on letters of credit provided by the Company to its customers beyond the term of the Credit Agreement and to allow unsecured parent guarantees to be issued on behalf of its foreign subsidiaries up to a maximum aggregate value of $10.0 million.

In July 2013, the Company’s subsidiary in China entered into a loan agreement with The People’s Bank of China. The loan agreement provides for a loan commitment of ¥45.0 million ($7.4 million) to fund the construction of a manufacturing facility in Zhenjiang, China. The loan is guaranteed by PCMC’s property, plant and equipmentThe loan matures on September 30, 2018. At December 28, 2013, there was an outstanding borrowing of ¥43.0 million ($7.1 million). Beginning June 20, 2014, the Company is required to make semi-annual principal payments on the loan. Interest rates use floating rates as established by The People’s Bank of China. The rate at December 28, 2013 was 7.0%. The loan agreement also contains covenants, including restrictions on additional debt, dividends, acquisitions and dispositions. At December 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

The Company’s U.K. subsidiary has a debenture agreement used to facilitate issuances of letters of credit and bank guarantees of £6.0 million ($9.9 million) at December 28, 2013 and £6.0 million ($9.1 million) at June 29, 2013. This facility was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s U.K. subsidiary and by a cash deposit of £1.9 million ($3.0 million) at December 28, 2013 and £2.1 million ($3.2 million) at June 29, 2013, which is recorded as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 28, 2013, there was £4.4 million ($7.2 million) of outstanding stand-by letters of credit and bank guarantees under this debenture agreement. At June 29, 2013, there was £4.4 million ($6.8 million) of outstanding stand-by letters of credit and bank guarantees under this debenture agreement.

The Company’s German subsidiary has a debenture agreement used to facilitate issuances of letters of credit and bank guarantees of €4.8 million ($6.6 million) at December 28, 2013 and €4.8 million ($6.2 million) at June 29, 2013. This facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s German subsidiary and by a cash deposit of €0.9 million ($1.3 million) at December 28, 2013 and €0.7 million ($0.9 million) at June 29, 2013, which is recorded as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 28, 2013, there was €3.1 million ($4.3 million) of outstanding stand-by letters of credit and bank guarantees under this debenture agreement. At June 29, 2013, there was €2.7 million ($3.5 million) of outstanding stand-by letters of credit and bank guarantees under this debenture agreement.

The Company’s subsidiary in Singapore had bank guarantees of $0.6 million at December 28, 2013 and June 29, 2013. These guarantees are secured with a protective line of credit issued by the Company to Citibank. The Company’s subsidiary in China had bank guarantees of $1.2 million and $0.6 million at December 28, 2013 and June 29, 2013, respectively, secured by $1.2 million and $0.6 million of restricted cash balances.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

Under the contract for the Nitram acquisition, the Company has certain rights to indemnification against the selling stockholders for claims relating to breach of representation and certain other claims, including litigation costs and damages. Prior to the final escrow payment release in October 2009, the Company made claims relating to environmental matters and indemnification for breach of representations and warranties of the Nitram purchase agreement, totaling approximately $2.0 million against the escrow, and a total of $1.4 million was withheld from the release of the escrow amount, which represents the Company’s claims, less the one percent deductible, estimated at $0.6 million. The sellers have objected to the claims made by the Company and the parties are currently in the process of negotiating the various claims. The Company does not currently believe it will have additional losses or claims against the former Nitram stockholders that are in excess of the amounts already claimed or accrued.

From time to time the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company accrues for its litigation contingencies when losses are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Restricted stock units

     77,460         575         —           —     

The stock granted to the Board of Directors vests immediately, therefore the entire amount of fair value was recognized as expense at the time of grant. The compensation expense for the restricted stock awards granted in fiscal year 2014 is recognized over a three-year vesting period whereas the awards granted in fiscal year 2013 are recognized over a four-year vesting period. The compensation expense is based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date, net of forfeitures.

In July 2013, the Company also awarded restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which are subject to both service and performance conditions, to the executive officers of the Company. The fair value of the RSUs is based on the probability of the performance condition being achieved on the date of grant. The actual number of shares that will ultimately vest is dependent on the Company’s performance during the performance period, which is a year from the date of grant, against established metrics and could range from 0% to 200% of the number of units originally granted. The RSUs have a cliff vesting of three years from the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the RSUs based upon management’s determination of the potential likelihood of achievement of the performance conditions at each reporting date in fiscal 2014, net of forfeitures.

9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION – CONTINUED

 

The Company recognized $0.6 million and $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense in the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. For the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, the Company recognized $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense.

10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the interest rates on the long-term debt issued under the Senior Credit facility from floating to fixed rates. The following table summarizes the interest rate agreements in effect as of December 28, 2013 (in thousands):

 

Fixed Interest Rate

   Expiration Date      Notional Amounts  

1.95%

     September 30, 2022       $ 9,000   

1.50%

     September 30, 2019         1,000   

The swap agreements are recorded as an asset or liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with the change in fair value recorded as interest expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company is exposed to market risk under these arrangements due to the possibility of interest rates on the term loans under the Credit Agreement declining to below the rates on the interest rate swap agreements. Credit risk under these arrangements is believed to be remote as the counterparty to the interest rate swap agreements is a major financial institution; however, if the counterparty to the derivative instrument arrangements becomes unable to fulfill its obligations to the Company, the financial benefits of the arrangements may be lost.

The derivatives recorded at fair value in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets were (in thousands):

 

     Derivative Assets      Derivative Liabilities  
     December 28,      June 29,      December 28,      June 29,  
     2013      2013      2013      2013  

Interest rate swap contracts

   $ 164       $ 160       $ —         $ —     

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

 

   

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

 

   

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

 

   

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - CONTINUED

 

A summary of derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows (in thousands):

 

     Fair Value

December 28, 2013
     Level 1      Level 2      Level 3  

Asset - Interest rate swap contracts

   $ 164       $ —         $ 164       $ —     

The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined based on the notional amounts of the swaps and the forward LIBOR curve relative to the fixed interest rates under the swap agreements. The Company classifies these instruments in Level 2 because quoted market prices can be corroborated utilizing observable benchmark market rates at commonly quoted intervals, observable current and forward commodity market prices on active exchanges, and observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward currency prices.

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has two reportable segments: Process Products and Environmental Systems. The Process Products segment produces various types of separators and filters used for removing liquids and solids from gases and air. The segment also includes industrial silencing equipment to control noise pollution on a wide range of industrial processes and heat transfer equipment to conserve energy in many industrial processes and in petrochemical processing. The main product of the Environmental Systems segment is its Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems, referred to as “SCR Systems.” These environmental control systems are used for air pollution abatement and converting nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from exhaust gases caused by burning hydrocarbon fuels such as coal, gasoline, natural gas and oil. Along with the SCR Systems, this segment offers systems to reduce other pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter. The Company combines these systems with other components, such as instruments, controls and related valves and piping to offer its customers a totally integrated system.

The Company allocates all costs associated with the manufacture, sale and design of its products to the appropriate segment. Segment profit and loss is based on revenue less direct expenses of the segment before general and administrative expenses. The Company does not allocate general and administrative expenses, assets, or expenditures for assets on a segment basis for internal management reporting, therefore, this information is not presented. Segment information and reconciliation to operating income (loss) for the three and six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 are presented below (in thousands).

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

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand PMFG, Inc., our operations, and our present business environment. MD&A is provided to supplement – and should be read in conjunction with – our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this report. This overview summarizes the MD&A, which includes the following sections:

 

   

Our Business – a general description of our business and the key drivers of product demand.

 

   

Results of Operations – an analysis of our Company’s consolidated and reporting segment results of operations for the three and six month periods presented in our consolidated unaudited financial statements.

 

   

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Position – an analysis of cash flows, aggregate contractual obligations, foreign currency exposure and an overview of our financial position.

This discussion includes forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in this and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the information in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I to our Annual Report for the year ended June 29, 2013. These factors could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from those experienced in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements.

Our Business

We are a leading provider of custom-engineered systems and products designed to help ensure that the delivery of energy is safe, efficient and clean. We primarily serve the markets for natural gas infrastructure, power generation and refining and petrochemical processing. We offer a broad range of separation and filtration products, Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems (“SCR Systems”), and other complementary products including heat exchangers, pulsation dampeners and silencers. Our primary customers include equipment manufacturers, engineering contractors and operators of power facilities.

Our products and systems are marketed worldwide. The percentage of revenue generated from outside the United States was approximately 45% in the six months ended December 28, 2013 compared to 53% in the six months ended December 29, 2012. As a result of global demand for our products and our increased sales resources outside of the United States, we expect our international revenue will continue to be a significant percentage of our consolidated revenue in the future.

We believe our success depends on our ability to understand the complex operational demands of our customers and deliver systems and products that meet or exceed the indicated design specifications. Our success further depends on our ability to provide such products in a cost-effective manner and within the time frames established with our customers. Our gross profit during any particular period may be impacted by several factors, primarily shifts in our product mix, material cost changes, and warranty costs. Shifts in the geographic composition of our revenue also can have a significant impact on our reported margins.

We have two reporting segments: Process Products and Environmental Systems. The Process Products segment produces specialized systems and products that remove contaminants from gases and liquids, improving efficiency, reducing maintenance and extending the life of energy infrastructure. The segment also includes industrial silencing equipment to control noise pollution on a wide range of industrial processes and heat transfer equipment to conserve energy in many industrial processes and in petrochemical processing. The primary product of our Environmental Systems business is SCR Systems. SCR Systems are integrated systems, with instruments, controls and related valves and piping. Our SCR Systems convert nitrogen oxide into nitrogen and water, reducing air pollution and helping our customers comply with environmental regulations.

Key Drivers of Product Demand

We believe demand for our products is driven by the increasing demand for energy in both developed and emerging markets, coupled with the global trend towards increasingly restrictive environmental regulations. These trends should stimulate investment in new power generation facilities and related infrastructure, and in upgrading existing facilities.

With a shift to cleaner, more environmentally responsible power generation, power providers and industrial power consumers are building new facilities that use cleaner fuels, such as natural gas, nuclear technology and renewable resources. In developed markets, natural gas is increasingly becoming one of the energy sources of choice. We supply product offerings throughout the entire natural gas infrastructure value chain and believe the expansion of natural gas infrastructure will drive growth of our process products and the global market for our SCR Systems for natural-gas-fired power plants.

Despite existing concerns over safety and government regulations related to the construction of new nuclear power facilities and the re-licensing of existing facilities, we believe rising nuclear capacity utilization rates and concerns about energy security and emissions will drive the increase for nuclear power generation, both domestically and internationally. China is expected to lead the global expansion of nuclear power generation growth. Re-licensing of existing nuclear facilities in the United States and Europe also will contribute to product demand.

We believe these market trends will drive the demand for both our separation/filtration products and our SCR Systems, creating significant opportunities for us. We face strong competition from numerous other providers of custom-engineered systems and products. We, along with other companies that provide alternative products and solutions, are affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, global economic conditions, level of capital spending by companies engaged in energy production, processing, transportation, storage and distribution, as well as current and anticipated environmental regulations.

Quarter Ended December 28, 2013 Compared to Quarter Ended December 29, 2012

Revenue. We classify revenue as domestic or international based upon the origination of the order. Revenue generated by orders originating from within the United States is classified as domestic revenue, regardless of where the product is shipped or where it will eventually be installed. Revenue generated by orders originating from a country other than the United States is classified as international revenue. International revenue was approximately 41% and 53% of consolidated revenue in the quarters ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively.

Total revenue decreased $1.8 million, or 5.8%, to $29.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013. Improved revenue in our Environmental Systems segment was more than offset by the decline in the Process Products segment. Revenue from the Process Products segment was negatively impacted in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 by sluggish demand in Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and the Americas, as well as customer-driven delays on certain projects currently in backlog.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit during any particular period may be impacted by several factors, primarily revenue volume, shifts in our product mix, material cost changes, warranty, start-up and commissioning costs. Shifts in the geographic composition of our revenue also can have a significant impact on our reported margins.

Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased $3.4 million, or 29.5 percent, compared to the same period in fiscal 2013. The decrease in gross profit in fiscal 2014 is attributed to lower revenue and margin deterioration on projects completed and in process. Gross profit as a percent of revenue decreased to 27.4 percent in the current quarter from 36.7 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Included in cost of goods sold for fiscal 2014 is approximately $471,000 of non-recurring restructuring costs related to the closure of a manufacturing plant in Texas and the relocation of the fabrication activities to our other plants in Texas. The gross profit also was impacted by cost overruns on certain projects completed in the quarter and, to a lesser extent, the slower than planned ramp up of the manufacturing facility in Denton, Texas, that began fabrication in July of 2013.

The negative tax rate for the quarter ended December 28, 2013 is the result of a mix of profits and losses in different taxing jurisdictions and not recognizing the tax benefit associated with current period losses in the United States.

Results of Operations – Segments

We have two reporting segments: Process Products and Environmental Systems.

Process Products

The Process Products segment produces specialized systems and products that remove contaminants from gases and liquids, improving efficiency, reducing maintenance and extending the life of energy infrastructure. The segment also includes industrial silencing equipment to control noise pollution on a wide range of industrial processes and heat transfer equipment to conserve energy in many industrial processes and in petrochemical processing. Process Products represented 82% and 91% of our revenue in the quarters ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively.

The following summarizes the Process Products segment revenue and operating income (in thousands):

Operating income

     1,270        4,710   

Operating income as % of revenue

     5.2     16.5

Process Products revenue decreased $4.2 million, or 14.8%, to $24.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The Process Products segment revenue was negatively impacted by sluggish demand in EMEA and the Americas, as well as customer-driven delays on certain projects currently in backlog.

Process Products operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased $3.4 million, or 73.0%, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 on lower revenue and lower relative gross profit. Included in fiscal 2014 cost of goods sold are non-recurring restructuring costs related to the closure of a manufacturing plant in Texas and the relocation of the fabrication activities to our other facilities in Texas. In addition, the Company incurred unanticipated cost overruns and penalties of approximately $1.0 million on three unrelated projects in the quarter. The overruns in material and labor, as well as expediting fees, could not be passed through to the customers. Finally, the hiring and on boarding of personnel at the new manufacturing facility in Texas has progressed slower than anticipated.

Environmental Systems

The primary product of our Environmental Systems business is SCR Systems. SCR Systems are integrated systems, with instruments, controls and related valves and piping. Our SCR Systems convert nitrogen oxide, or NOx, into nitrogen and water, reducing air pollution and helping our customers comply with environmental regulations. Environmental Systems represented 18% and 9% of our revenue in the quarters ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. Environmental Systems revenue continues to increase as a percentage of our consolidated revenue as the segment benefits from an increase in domestic demand for environmental system solutions.

The following summarizes the Environmental Systems segment revenue and operating income (in thousands):

     December 28,     December 29,  
     2013     2012  

Revenue

Operating income

     1,360        506   

Operating income as % of revenue

     25.4     17.0

Environmental Systems revenue increased $2.4 million, or 80.3%, to $5.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Our SCR projects tend to be larger in scope and longer in duration than systems and solutions included in the Process Products segment. Further, the costs are incurred inconsistently throughout the fabrication process which increases the variability of segment revenue from period to period. The higher revenue in fiscal 2014 reflects the timing of incurring project related costs on the Environmental Systems projects we were awarded during calendar 2013.

Environmental Systems operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 increased $0.9 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. As a percentage of revenue, operating income increased to 25.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 17.0%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase in segment operating income as a percentage of revenue reflects the relative profitability of projects in process and the positive impact on segment profitability of fixed sales and marketing costs being leveraged over higher revenue in the quarter.

Gross profit decreased $5.1 million on lower revenue and lower relative gross profit in the six months ended December 28, 2013 compared to the six months ended December 29, 2012. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 30.4% for the six months ended December 28, 2013 compared to 35.6% for the six months ended December 29, 2012. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue during the six months ended December 28, 2013, relates to margin deterioration on projects completed and or in process and one-time restructuring related costs. That margin deterioration was most notable in the second quarter.

For the six months ended December 28, 2013, other expense was $1.1 million, an increase of $0.6 million from $0.5 million for the six months ended December 29, 2012. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded a loss on the extinguishment of debt associated with paying off our outstanding term loan. There was no similar activity in fiscal 2014. The higher level of interest expense reflects borrowings related to the Company’s two new manufacturing facilities. The six months ended December 28, 2013 reported a loss on foreign currency translation of $0.5 million, driven largely by movements in the euro and U.S. dollar relative to the British pound, compared to a gain of $35,000 for the six months ended December 29, 2012.

Income Taxes: Our effective income tax rates were (4.3)% and 26.5% for the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. For the six months ended December 28, 2013, our effective tax rate was impacted by the blend of taxable income in some State and foreign taxing jurisdictions and permanent differences and taxable losses in the United States which recognized no tax benefit. For the six months ended December 29, 2012, the effective tax rate was impacted by increased profits of our foreign subsidiaries which have a lower relative effective tax rate, as well as positive adjustments to the previously filed tax returns.

Net Earnings (loss). For the six months ended December 28, 2013, we had a net loss of ($4.5) million, a decrease of $5.1 million compared to net earnings of $0.6 million in the six months ended December 29, 2012. The net loss was the result of lower revenue and margin flowing thru to the net loss.

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to our common stockholders decreased to a loss of $(0.22) per share for the six months ended December 28, 2013, from earnings of $0.01 per share for the six months ended December 29, 2012.

Results of Operations – Segments

Process Products

Our Process Products segment represented 83% and 89% of our revenue for the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. The following table summarizes Process Products revenue and operating income (in thousands):

 

     Six months ended

Operating income

     4,039        10,090   

Operating income as % of revenue

     8.3     17.6

Process Products revenue decreased by $8.4 million, or 14.7%, in the six months ended December 28, 2013 when compared to the six months ended December 29, 2012. Process Products segment revenue was negatively impacted by sluggish demand in the EMEA and the Americas, as well as customer-driven delays on certain projects currently in backlog. Revenue in the Process Products segment was also impacted in fiscal 2014 by the transition of our manufacturing facilities in North America and Asia.

Process Products operating income in the six months ended December 28, 2013 decreased by $6.1 million compared to the six months ended December 29, 2012. As a percentage of Process Products revenue, operating income was 8.3% in the six months ended December 28, 2013 compared to 17.6% in the same period last year. Process Products segment profitability was negatively impacted during the six months ended December 28, 2013 by non-recurring restructuring costs related to the closure of a manufacturing plant in Texas and by cost overruns on certain projects. The Process Products segment was also negatively impacted in fiscal 2014 by transition costs and manufacturing inefficiencies as we began fabrication in new manufacturing facilities in Denton, Texas and Zhenjiang, China.

Environmental Systems

Our Environmental Systems segment represented 17% and 11% of our revenue for the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. The following table summarizes Environmental Systems revenue and operating income (in thousands):

 

     Six months ended

Operating income

Revenue from Environmental Systems increased $2.7 million, or 37.1%, in the six months ended December 28, 2013, when compared to the six months ended December 29, 2012.

Environmental Systems operating income as a percentage of revenue in the six months ended December 28, 2013 increased to 22.8%, compared to 15.6% for the six months ended December 29, 2012. The increase in operating income as a percentage of revenue reflects the relative profitability of the projects in process and the positive impact on segment profitability of fixed operating costs being leveraged on higher revenue.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include those related to the corporate office, as well as general and administrative costs of international locations. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 3.7%, in the six months ended December 28, 2013 in comparison to the prior year. Increases in personnel-related and public company costs in the period were more than offset by lower bad debt expense.

Contingencies

From time to time we are involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe the disposition of any current matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Net Bookings and Backlog

Backlog includes contractual purchase orders for products that are deliverable in future periods less revenue recognized on such orders to date. Our backlog increased $13.5 million from June 29, 2013 to $97.7 million at December 28, 2013. The increase in backlog reflects the relative strength in bookings in comparison to the prior year. Included in the backlog as of December 29, 2012 was approximately $12.5 million related to two customer contracts which were cancelled in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The Company anticipates approximately 90% of the backlog as of December 28, 2013 will be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months.

Financial Position

Assets. Total assets increased by $18.2 million, or 10.1%, from $180.1 million at June 29, 2013 to $198.3 million at December 28, 2013. On December 28, 2013, we held cash, including restricted cash, and cash equivalents of $61.7 million, had working capital of $74.3 million and a current liquidity ratio of 2.6-to-1.0. This compares with cash, including restricted cash, and cash equivalents of $58.0 million, working capital of $75.0 million, and a current liquidity ratio of 3.2-to-1.0 at June 29, 2013.

Liabilities and Equity. Total liabilities increased by $19.2 million, or 39.8%, from $48.2 million at June 29, 2013 to $67.4 million at December 28, 2013. The increase in our total liabilities is attributed to an increase in long-term debt associated with the construction of manufacturing facilities in Denton, Texas and Zhenjiang, China, in addition to an increase in accounts payable, billings in excess of costs and earnings on uncompleted contracts and other accrued liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Because we are engaged in the business of manufacturing systems, our progress billing practices are event-oriented rather than date-oriented and vary from contract to contract. Generally, a contract will either allow for amounts to be billed upon shipment or on a progress-basis based on the attainment of certain milestones. We typically invoice our customers upon the occurrence of project milestones. Billings to customers affect the balance of billings in excess of costs and earnings on uncompleted contracts or the balance of costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, as well as the balance of accounts receivable. Consequently, we focus on the net amount of these accounts, along with accounts payable, to determine our management of working capital. At December 28, 2013, the balance of these working capital accounts was $12.9 million compared to $17.9 million at June 29, 2013, reflecting a decrease of our investment in these working capital items of $5.0 million.

Many of our customers require bank letters of credit or other forms of financial guarantees to secure progress payments and performance. Such letters of credit and guarantees are issued under various bank and financial institution arrangements (see Note 7 of Item 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). As of December 28, 2013 and June 29, 2013, we had outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees of $18.9 million and $18.1 million, respectively.

Our cash and cash equivalents were $61.7 million as of December 28, 2013, compared to $58.0 million at June 29, 2013, of which $5.5 million and $5.0 million were restricted as collateral for stand-by letters of credit and bank guarantees at December 28, 2013, and June 29, 2013, respectively. During the six months ended December 28, 2013, cash used in operating activities was $0.9 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $10.4 million for the six months ended December 29, 2012.

Cash used in investing activities was $8.4 million for the six months ended December 28, 2013, compared to cash used in investing activities of $3.8 million for the six months ended December 29, 2012. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended December 28, 2013 primarily related to construction costs incurred to date on our manufacturing facilities under construction in Denton, Texas and Zhenjiang, China. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended December 29, 2012 primarily related to the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 28, 2013 was $12.0 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1.6 million during the six months ended December 29, 2012. The cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 28, 2013 primarily consisted of

proceeds from long-term debt as we drew on our construction term loan and the equity contribution from the non-controlling interest in our China subsidiary, offset by a payment of our long term debt. The cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 29, 2012 primarily consisted of proceeds from short-term debt.

As a result of the events described above, our cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended December 28, 2013 increased by $3.1 million compared to an increase of $8.3 million during the six months ended December 29, 2012

The Company was not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio required under the Credit Agreement as described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to December 28, 2013 the Company obtained a limited waiver of the covenant. Compliance with this financial covenant in the future is dependent on an improvement in the Company’s profitability when compared to the six month period ended December 28, 2013.

We believe we maintain adequate liquidity and the capacity to enter into letters of credit and guarantees to support existing operations and planned growth over the next 12 months.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures from those disclosed in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information related to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) that is required to be disclosed in the reports 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.

The Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that all information required to be disclosed in this Report has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Additionally, based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this Report has been accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, in a timely fashion to allow decisions regarding required disclosures.

Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls could be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people. The Company’s controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

During the six months ended December 28, 2013, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, or in other factors, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
