P&F INDUSTRIES, INC. REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020

 

MELVILLE, N.Y., August 11, 2020 - P&F Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: PFIN) today announced its results from operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020. The Company is reporting net revenue of $11,520,000 and $24,870,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, compared to $14,798,000 and $29,120,000 for the same periods in 2019. The Company stated that there were several factors that negatively impacted its fiscal second quarter 2020 results, key among them were the global COVID-19 pandemic, greatly depressed oil and gas markets and a down-turn in its aerospace sector. As such, for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, the Company is reporting net losses before income taxes of $3,195,000 and $4,458,000, respectively, compared to net income before income taxes of $7,804,000 and $7,753,000, respectively, for the same periods a year ago. The Company noted it recorded a gain on the sale of real property of approximately $7,800,000 during the second quarter of 2019. The Company is reporting net loss after-taxes of $2,381,000 and $3,139,000, respectively, for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, compared to net income after taxes of $5,688,000 and $5,662,000, respectively for the same periods in 2019.

 

Richard Horowitz, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President commented, “It is clear that the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the global economy, which in turn has caused weakness at P&F. Specifically, our revenue this quarter was down 22% compared to the same period in 2019, which was principally driven by the COVID-19 impact as well as the down-turn in global oil and gas prices and weakness in the aerospace sector, which for us includes The Boeing Company’s halting of production of its 737 MAX aircraft, as well as restricted commercial air travel. These factors resulted in poor manufacturing absorption at our manufacturing facilities which, in turn, severely affected our overall gross margin. To partially offset some of the negative results caused by COVID-19 and the other factors, we reduced our selling, general and administrative expenses $840,000 or 15.4% this quarter compared to the second quarter of 2019. Lastly, primarily driven by the impact of the global pandemic, we recorded non-cash impairment charges aggregating $1,612,000 during the quarter.”

 

Mr. Horowitz, continued, “On a more positive note, we are currently beginning to see modest signs of improvement. Our Retail and Automotive orders have begun to rebound and have increased slightly from our historic lows reached during the height of the pandemic. Further, with respect to our recently acquired gear businesses, monthly order volume is also approaching pre-pandemic levels. This is in spite of almost no ability to visit customers. As a result, we are very optimistic that there are many additional opportunities for growth, once customer visits are again permitted. Lastly, we are also very optimistic about the opportunities relating to a number of military and commercial aerospace projects that have been under development throughout the pandemic. Tool samples for these projects are ready for testing at potential customers in the US and Europe. We expect these evaluations to begin once potential customers are more fully staffed, which we hope will be sometime this year.”

 

Mr. Horowitz concluded his remarks with, “While the COVID-19 global pandemic remains, and our results from operations will be challenged, we plan to continue to balance serving the needs of our customers with the need to ensure the health and safety of our employees. We are confident that when this pandemic subsides, we will be well positioned to take advantage of the economic recovery. We remain focused on being a key provider and developer of power hand tools and accessories. Product development continues across the Company’s businesses. In addition, we expect to further expand our Engineered Solutions business and the new gears business, now known as Power Transmission Group, (PTG), through the pursuit of new applications, customers, and markets, both in the United States and Europe. Despite the recent losses, we believe we continue to have access to ample capital under our credit facility as we ride out the downturn. Further, as part of the business incentives offered in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, on April 20, 2020, we received a $2.9 million Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) loan from the United States Small Business Administration, which we were able to use to help fund our payroll and other permitted business expenses. Finally, I wish to thank and recognize the incredible work our employees have done to navigate through these unprecedented times.”

 

 

The Company will be reporting the following:

¨

Ongoing negative effects of COVID-19 on revenue and income;

 

¨

Impairment of Goodwill and other intangible assets;

 

¨

Production halt by Boeing of its 737 MAX and significant reduction in activity at many commercial and military manufacturing facilities;

TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the recent novel coronavirus or COVID-19, as a global pandemic. COVID-19 was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and continued to spread, significantly impacting various markets around the world, including the United States. Various policies and initiatives have been implemented to reduce the global transmission of COVID-19.

 

The impact of the COVID-19 virus on the global economy, particularly within the U.S., has had a material impact on our results during the first six months of 2020. In March 2020, nearly all of the United States, United Kingdom and much of Europe, had ordered non-essential businesses to stop physical operations and ordered its residents to remain home or “shelter-in-place”, in order to attempt to control the impact of this pandemic. While we are currently able to continue operations at all of our locations, the COVID-19 pandemic has, for the first six months of 2020, significantly impacted orders and revenue. Further, we believe this pandemic could continue to negatively affect our businesses in the future. However, our manufacturing facilities are currently open. Staffing levels remain reduced at all of our locations across the country and in the United Kingdom as we continue to monitor the latest COVID-19 related public health and government guidance. As a result, at some of our locations, many of our office-based employees continue to work remotely where possible. We are closely monitoring the situation and taking actions to protect the safety of our employees and communities. For example, among other things, throughout the organization we have restricted international and domestic travel, taken a variety of steps to ensure social distancing in our facilities, including working remotely where available, and have increased our cleaning and sanitizing procedures in our facilities. 

 

BOEING/AEROSPACE

 

The current halt in production of Boeing’s 737 MAX and a dramatic reduction in staffing levels across all of its facilities due to the COVID pandemic has reduced production activity dramatically at Boeing. In addition, production of military and commercial aircraft has also slowed as well due to COVID concerns. As long as the 737 MAX is grounded, it will likely continue to have an adverse effect on our revenue. However, as all other commercial and military production lines throughout the United States come back online, an increase in our revenue should follow.

 

TARIFFS

 

Based on arrangements with our overseas suppliers and The Home Depot (“THD”), which is our largest customer that is currently affected by the tariffs imposed since July 2018, we have been able to avoid much of the impact of such tariffs. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to avoid some or all of any new, or additional tariffs. Should we be unable to avoid such additional costs, our gross margin on these products likely would be severely impacted. This could cause us to terminate or alter certain customer/supplier relationships.

 

 

TECHNOLOGIES  

 

We believe that over time, several newer technologies and features may have a greater impact on the market for our traditional pneumatic tool offerings than currently exists. The impact of this evolution has been felt initially by the advent of advanced cordless, or battery-powered hand tools, particularly in the automotive aftermarket or in the retail sector. We continue to perform a cost-benefit analysis of developing or incorporating more advanced technologies in our tool platforms.

 

REVENUE

 

During the second quarter of 2020, nearly all of our product lines were adversely affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic. Business closures and travel restrictions in the United States and Europe resulted in greatly reduced orders and revenues for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020.

 

The tables below provide an analysis of our net revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Florida Pneumatic

 

Florida Pneumatic markets its air tool products to four primary sectors within the pneumatic tool market; Automotive, Retail, Aerospace and Industrial. It also generates revenue from its Berkley products line, as well as a line of air filters and other OEM parts (“Other”).

		Revenue				Percent of  revenue				Revenue				Percent of revenue				$				%
Retail		$	2,860,000				33.1	%		$	3,427,000				31.8	%		$	(567,000	)			(16.5	)%
Automotive			2,928,000				33.9				3,759,000				34.8				(831,000	)			(22.1	)
Industrial			817,000				9.4				1,223,000				11.3				(406,000	)			(33.2	)

Stated as a percentage, Industrial incurred the largest decline this quarter compared to the same period a year ago, declining 33.2%, which was driven by several factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the on-going sluggishness in the oil and gas sector and a reduction in orders from a large customer this quarter, compared to second quarter 2019. In addition to the adverse impact caused by the pandemic, Automotive revenue declined this quarter, compared to the same three-month period in 2019, due primarily to two factors; (a) a decline in our United Kingdom (“UK”) operations of $508,000, driven by the pandemic, and (b) the loss of a large domestic distributer/customer. The decline in Retail revenue we believe was due to reduced in-store traffic at The Home Depot, again due to COVID-19. The primary cause for the decline in the second quarter Aerospace revenue, compared to the same period in 2019, is the reduction in production by Boeing of certain civilian aircraft.

Automotive			6,160,000				33.0				7,624,000				35.9				(1,464,000	)			(19.2	)
Industrial			1,879,000				10.1				2,547,000				12.0				(668,000	)			(26.2	)
Aerospace			4,533,000				24.3				4,591,000				21.6				(58,000	)			(1.3	)

The decline in Florida Pneumatic’s fiscal 2020 year-to-date revenue of 12%, compared to the same period in 2019, is due to similar factors that drove Florida Pneumatic’s second quarter’s results. The global pandemic was the key factor for the decline in our six-month revenue. Of note, our UK Automotive revenue declined $668,000 or approximately 46% of the change, the balance occurring domestically, driven by the loss of the large distributor/customer. The major decline in the drilling rigs and the production of oil and gas and sluggish orders from ancillary businesses to the aerospace industry, have significantly impacted our Industrial revenue. After an increase in Retail revenue during the first quarter of 2020, the pandemic adversely affected revenue during the second quarter. Orders from Boeing, a major Jiffy customer began to slow in late first quarter and has continued to date. The issues at Boeing relating to the 737 MAX and other civilian aircraft, we believe are the cause for decline. Further, we believe that when production of the 737 MAX resumes orders levels should improve.

 

Hy-Tech

 

Hy-Tech designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of industrial products under the brands ATP, and ATSCO which are categorized as ATP for reporting purposes. In addition to Engineered Solutions, products manufactured for other companies under their brands are included in the OEM category in the table below. Power Transition Group (“PTG”) revenue is comprised of products manufactured and sold by the gear businesses that were acquired in October 2019, products sold through Hy-Tech’s legacy gear manufacturing division and products sold to a certain customer whose revenue was included in OEM in 2019. NUMATX, Thaxton and other peripheral product lines, such as general machining, are reported as Other.

 

		Three months ended June 30,
		2020								2019								(Decrease) increase
		Revenue				Percent of revenue				Revenue				Percent of revenue				$				%
ATP		$	569,000				19.8	%		$	1,912,000				47.7	%		$	(1,343,000	)			(70.2	)%
OEM			1,202,000				41.7				1,622,000				40.4				(420,000	)			(25.9	)
PTG			1,021,000				35.5				242,000				6.0				779,000				321.9

In addition to the negative impact on all lines of business at P&F caused by COVID-19, the recent collapse of the oil and gas sector in the United States has severely affected our ATP revenue of tools, parts, sockets and accessories this quarter. According to Baker Hughes Inc. the number of operating drilling rigs were 265 at June 28, 2020, compared to 967 at June 28, 2019. At July 24, 2020 the rig count decreased to 251. Until such time when the market price of oil attains levels where it is profitable for oil and gas producing companies to substantially resume operations, the market will remain suppressed. The growth in PTG revenue was driven by the gear businesses acquired in fourth quarter of 2019.

The decline in Hy-Tech’s total net revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, was the result of the global pandemic, the severe downturn of the oil and gas market, and certain key customers currently in over-stock positions that are hesitant to expand their inventory levels. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2020, as the market for our ATP lines began to encounter the effects of the decline in demand in the oil and gas exploration sector, we made a decision to focus a greater portion of our marketing and product development efforts to our Engineered Solutions products offering. We believe the development of the Engineered Solutions offering will continue to provide Hy-Tech an opportunity to generate additional sources of revenue in the future. Further, the transition and relocation from Illinois to our facilities in Pennsylvania of the gears businesses acquired in late October 2019 continued through April 2020, resulting in lower than projected PTG revenue and profits during the first third of this year. The process of relocation of equipment and the set-up of general operations was completed during the second quarter. As such, we believe that as travel and other restriction are removed, PTG revenue should improve.

 

GROSS MARGIN/PROFIT

As percent of respective revenue			26.5	%			37.2	%			(10.7	)%		pts

 

Factors contributing to the 1.7 percentage point decline in Florida Pneumatic’s gross margin this quarter, compared to the same three-month period ended June 30, 2019, was due mostly to weak manufacturing overhead absorption at Jiffy during the second quarter of 2020. The decline in Jiffy revenue, as discussed above effectively caused a reduction in production, which in turn has caused manufacturing absorption to decline. Florida Pneumatic’s gross margin also declined due to overall product mix, as the decline in the higher gross margin lines of Aerospace and Industrial drove gross margin lower this quarter, compared to the same period a year ago. Lastly, its operations in the United Kingdom encountered lower gross margin this quarter, due primarily to mix.

 

 

During the second quarter of 2020 Hy-Tech had negative gross margin. Factors that caused the decline include:

·

Weak absorption of manufacturing overhead

o

weak manufacturing overhead absorption, due in part to labor hours being utilized in connection with the relocation of the gear businesses, and

o

lower than planned manufacturing caused primarily by the COVID-19 global pandemic;

·

general mix of products sold during the quarter;

·

physical inventory adjustment;

·

an increase in charges relating to obsolete, slow moving inventory (“OSMI”).

Our gross margin for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was 6.8 percentage points below the same period a year ago. In addition to the factors discussed above, during the first six-months of fiscal 2020 our consolidated gross margin was impacted by lower than expected gross margin on the sale of PTG products due primarily to start-up issues in the new facility, increases in costs incurred from outside vendors for certain manufacturing processes and increased duty charged on certain imported parts.

 

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) include salaries and related costs, commissions, travel, administrative facilities, communications costs and promotional expenses for our direct sales and marketing staff, administrative and executive salaries and related benefits, legal, accounting and other professional fees as well as general corporate overhead and certain engineering expenses.

 

During the second quarter of 2020, our SG&A declined $840,000, to $4,620,000, from $5,460,000 for the same three-month period in 2019. The most significant factor driving the decrease in our SG&A was a reduction in variable expenses of $489,000. Variable expenses include among other things, commissions, freight out, travel, advertising, shipping supplies and warranty costs. Additionally, there was a reduction of approximately $444,000 of compensation expenses, which is comprised of base salaries and wages, accrued performance-based bonus incentives and associated payroll taxes and employee benefits. Partially offsetting the above-mentioned declines in SG&A were increases in professional fees of $72,000 and corporate expenses of $58,000.

 

SG&A for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 declined $412,000 to $10,310,000 from $10,722,000. Significant items driving this net decrease were a reduction of $423,000 in compensation expenses and variable expenses declined $607,000. The above being partially offset by an increase in professional fees of $532,000 which consisted primarily of costs incurred with the relocation, transition and temporary labor and recruiting costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of the gear businesses in late October 2019. Additionally, rent, and bad debt expenses increased $28,000 and $33,000, respectively.

 

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS IMPARMENT

 

We recorded goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges totaling $1,612,000, with $284,000 related to goodwill and $1,328,000 related to customer relationships, patents and tradename.

 

 

OTHER INCOME

 

Other income for the current quarter and year to date consists of a grant received at our United Kingdom operation from Her Majesty’s Government, which is not required to be repaid.

The Applicable Margin, as defined in our Credit Agreement was the same during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. While our average monthly borrowings were slightly higher during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same three-month period in 2019, that average interest rate on borrowed funds decreased approximately 1.6 %, resulting in the decrease in short-term interest expense.

 

In late April 2020, we borrowed approximately $2.9 million from BNB bank as provided under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The PPP Loan, accrues interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Pursuant to the Flexibility Act, interest on any unforgiven amount is deferred until the forgiveness determination is made by the SBA.

 

During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, a term loan existed. This term loan was fully paid off in June 2019. Lastly, Debt issue costs incurred in connection with recent bank amendments are being amortized through February 2024, were lower than the costs associated with the previous amendments.

 

The average balance of short-term borrowings during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $5,347,000 and $5,812,000, and $6,083,000 and $5,085,000, respectively.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

On March 27, 2020 the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitation and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.

 

 

 

At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company estimates its effective tax rate expected to be applied for the full year. This estimate is used to determine the income tax provision or benefit on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim periods. Accordingly, our effective tax rate for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 were a tax benefit of 25.5% and 29.6%, compared to tax expense of 27.1% and 27.0% for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2019. Included in the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 is also consideration for net operating loss carrybacks under the CARES Act. The effective tax rates for all periods presented were impacted primarily by state taxes, and non-deductible expenses.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We monitor such metrics as days’ sales outstanding, inventory requirements, inventory turns, estimated future purchasing requirements and capital expenditures to project liquidity needs, as well as evaluate return on assets. Our primary sources of funds are operating cash flows and our Revolver Loan (“Revolver”) with our Bank.

 

We gauge our liquidity and financial stability by various measurements, some of which are shown in the following table:

 

		June 30, 2020				December 31, 2019
Working Capital		$	21,756,000			$	22,115,000
