U.S. Bearings (“USB”) is a division of SWP and Schaublin USA is a division of Nice. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has a fiscal year consisting of 52 or 53 weeks, ending on the Saturday closest to March 31. Based on this policy, fiscal year 2016 contained 53 weeks and 2015 and 2014 contained 52 weeks. The amounts are shown in thousands, unless otherwise indicated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories, accrued expenses, depreciation and amortization, income taxes and tax reserves, pension and postretirement obligations and the valuation of options. 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 its cash accounts primarily with Bank of America, N.A and Wells Fargo & Company. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company up to $250. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The Company accounts for inventory under a full absorption method, and records adjustments to the value of inventory based upon past sales history and forecasted plans to sell our inventories. The physical condition, including age and quality, of the inventories is also considered in establishing its valuation. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual requirements if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from our expectations. Shipping and Handling The sales price billed to customers includes shipping and handling, which is included in net sales. The costs to the Company for shipping and handling are included in cost of sales. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment, including equipment under capital leases, is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets or the lease term, if shorter. Depreciation of assets under capital leases is reported within depreciation and amortization. The cost of equipment under capital leases is equal to the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the leased equipment at the inception of the lease. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The estimated useful lives of the Company's property, plant and equipment follows: Buildings and improvements 20-30 years Machinery and equipment 3-15 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of the term of lease or estimated useful life Recognition of Revenue and Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk The Company recognizes revenue only after the following four basic criteria are met: · Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; · Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; · The seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and · Collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized upon the passage of title, which generally is at the time of shipment, except for certain customers for which it occurs when the products reach their destination. Accounts receivable, net of applicable allowances, is recorded when revenue is recorded. We also recognize revenue on a Ship-In-Place basis for two customers who have required that we hold the product after final production is complete. In this case, a written agreement has been executed (at the customer’s request) whereby the customer accepts the risk of loss for product that is invoiced under the Ship-In-Place arrangement. For each transaction for which revenue is recognized under a Ship-In-Place arrangement, all final manufacturing inspections have been completed and customer acceptance has been obtained. In the fiscal year ended April 2, 2016, 2.1% of the Company’s total net sales was recognized under Ship-In-Place transactions. We also on occasion record deferred revenue on our balance sheet as a liability. Deferred revenue represents progress payments received, primarily from one customer, to cover purchases of raw materials per the terms of multi-year long term contracts. Revenue associated with these agreements is recognized in accordance with the criteria discussed above. The Company sells to a large number of OEMs and distributors who service the aftermarket. The Company's credit risk associated with accounts receivable is minimized due to its customer base and wide geographic dispersion. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral or charge interest on outstanding amounts. The Company had no concentrations of credit risk with any one customer greater than 4% of accounts receivables at April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, respectively. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company reviews the collectability of its receivables on an ongoing basis taking into account a combination of factors. The Company reviews potential problems, such as past due accounts, a bankruptcy filing or deterioration in the customer's financial condition, to ensure the Company is adequately accrued for potential loss. Accounts are considered past due based on when payment was originally due. If a customer's situation changes, such as a bankruptcy or creditworthiness, or there is a change in the current economic climate, the Company may modify its estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company will write-off accounts receivable after reasonable collection efforts have been made and the accounts are deemed uncollectible. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill (representing the excess of the amount paid to acquire a company over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired) and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets are not amortized but instead is tested for impairment annually, or when events or circumstances indicate that its value may have declined. Separate tests are performed for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. We apply a qualitative test of impairment on the indefinite lived intangible assets. This is done by assessing the existence of events or circumstances which would make it more likely than not that impairment is present. No such factors were identified during our current year analysis. The determination of any goodwill impairment is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill over the goodwill's implied fair value. The Company uses the income approach (discounted cash flow method) in testing goodwill for impairment. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow method used to estimate fair value include discount rates, revenue growth rates, terminal growth rates and cash flow projections. Discount rates, growth rates and cash flow projections are the most sensitive and susceptible to change as they require significant management judgment. Discount rates are determined by using a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The WACC considers market and industry data as well as Company-specific risk factors for each reporting unit in determining the appropriate discount rate to be used. The discount rate utilized for each reporting unit is indicative of the return an investor would expect to receive for investing in such a business. Terminal growth rate determination follows common methodology of capturing the present value of perpetual cash flow estimates beyond the last projected period assuming a constant WACC and long-term growth rates. The Company has determined that, to date, no impairment of goodwill exists and fair value of the reporting units exceeded the carrying value in total by approximately 74%. The fair value of the reporting units exceeds the carrying value by a minimum of 37% at each of the four reporting units. The Company performs the annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Although no changes are expected, if the actual results of the Company are less favorable than the assumptions the Company makes regarding estimated cash flows, the Company may be required to record an impairment charge in the future. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the lives of the related credit agreements. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company utilizes forward contracts and average rate options to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currency as well as on forecasted transactions denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currency. The Company does not engage in other uses of these financial instruments. For a financial instrument to qualify as a hedge, the Company must be exposed to interest rate or price risk, and the financial instrument must reduce the exposure and be designated as a hedge. Financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a high correlation between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period. The Company measures the effectiveness of the hedging relationship at the inception of the hedge and quarterly at a minimum. If derivative financial instruments qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the instrument and the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings during the period of the change in fair values. For derivative financial instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge, if any, is determined based on the dollar-offset method (i.e., the gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item) and is recognized in current earnings during the period of change. As long as hedge effectiveness is maintained, interest rate swap arrangements and foreign currency exchange agreements qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. All derivatives are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair values. Changes in fair values of derivatives are recorded in each period in comprehensive income, since the derivative is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge. As of April 2, 2016, the Company held no derivatives. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, which requires it to recognize a current tax liability or asset for current taxes payable or refundable and a deferred tax liability or asset for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities to the extent that they are realizable. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the year. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Temporary differences relate primarily to the timing of deductions for depreciation, stock-based compensation, goodwill amortization relating to the acquisition of operating divisions, basis differences arising from acquisition accounting, pension and retirement benefits, and various accrued and prepaid expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded at the rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Net Income Per Common Share Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options. The table below reflects the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for each year presented as well as the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share: Fiscal Year Ended April 2, March 28, March 29, 2016 2015 2014 Net income $ 63,894 $ 58,248 $ 60,208 Denominator: Denominator for basic net income per common share—weighted-average shares 23,208,686 23,073,940 22,874,842 Effect of dilution due to employee stock options 299,732 311,121 369,399 Denominator for diluted net income per common share—adjusted weighted-average shares 23,508,418 23,385,061 23,244,241 Basic net income per common share $ 2.75 $ 2.52 $ 2.63 Diluted net income per common share $ 2.72 $ 2.49 $ 2.59 At April 2, 2016, 443,250 employee stock options and no restricted shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. At March 28, 2015, 418,450 employee stock options and no restricted shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. At March 29, 2014, 193,500 employee stock options and no restricted shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The inclusion of these employee stock options and restricted shares would be anti-dilutive. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the net realizable value of its long-lived assets and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever indicators of impairment are present. For amortizable long-lived assets to be held and used, if indicators of impairment are present, management determines whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount. The amount of asset impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over its fair value, which is estimated based on projected discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost of funds. To date, no indicators of impairment exist other than those resulting in the restructuring charges already recorded. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale or other means are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing throughout the period. The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), while gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other non-operating expense (income). Net income of the Company's foreign operations for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $8,660, $2,474, and $10,045, respectively. Net assets of the Company's foreign operations were $104,382 and $96,545 at April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, respectively. On January 15, 2015, the Swiss National Bank, removed its three-year-old foreign exchange cap of Swiss Francs 1.20 against the Euro. The new exchange rate was approximately 1.02 at the end of fiscal March 2015. This change in rates has impacted the translation and remeasurement of the financial statements of our Swiss company, Schaublin S.A. Schaublin S.A. had approximately 16.0 million Euro deposits on their balance sheet. When Euro deposits are re-measured to the functional currency of Swiss Francs, the change in exchange rate is reflected in the income statement in other non-operating expense. Based on the exchange rate at the end of fiscal March 2015, the income statement had a negative impact of approximately $3.1 million in the fourth quarter, and was partially offset by a favorable impact of approximately $0.4 million in other comprehensive income on the balance sheet. Fair Value of Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Inputs used to measure fair value are within a hierarchy consisting of three levels. Level 1 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs represent unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis in 2016 consist of the Company’s forward contracts and average rate options. The Company has measured the fair value of these forward contracts and average rate options using observable market inputs such as spot and forward rates (as provided by the financial institution with which these instruments has been executed). Based on these inputs, these instruments are classified as Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. As of April 2, 2016, the Company held no forward contracts or average rate options. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, and accounts payable and accruals, and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of the Company's borrowings under its Wells Fargo Credit Agreement and Swiss Credit Facility approximate fair value, as these obligations have interest rates which vary in conjunction with current market conditions. The carrying value of the mortgage on our Schaublin building approximates fair value as the rates since entering into the mortgage in fiscal 2013 have not changed. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The components of comprehensive income (loss) that relate to the Company are net income, foreign currency translation adjustments and pension plan and postretirement benefits, all of which are presented in the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss). The following summarizes the activity within each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes: Currency Pension and Postretirement Liability Total Balance at March 28, 2015 $ (93 ) $ (7,677 ) $ (7,770 ) Other comprehensive income before reclassifications 315 644 959 Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss — (179 ) (179 ) Net current period other comprehensive income 315 465 780 Balance at April 2, 2016 $ 222 $ (7,212 ) $ (6,990 ) Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation cost relating to all share-based payment transactions in the financial statements based upon the grant-date fair value of the instruments issued over the requisite service period. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards update (“ASU") No. 2016-09: "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. This ASU includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. This ASU is effective for public companies for the financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of the pronouncement may have on its financial position and/or results of operations. In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards update ("ASU") No. 2015-17 (Topic 740): "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes". The FASB issued this ASU as part of its simplification initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. This ASU eliminates the current requirement that requires an organization to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations with a classified balance sheet are now required to classify each tax jurisdictions deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent assets or noncurrent liabilities. This ASU will not change the existing guidance that prohibits the offsetting of deferred tax liabilities of one jurisdiction against the deferred tax assets of another jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for public companies for the financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has elected to early adopt this guidance prospectively during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. Given that the Company elected prospective adoption, it did not reclassify prior year information to conform to the ASU. In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.” This ASU allows an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments during the period in which it determines the amount of the adjustment. An acquirer would also need to capture in the current period any effect on earnings it would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this update effective with their interim period beginning June 28, 2015. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” This update requires the company to measure inventory using the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This ASU applies to companies measuring inventory using methods other than the last-in, first-out (LIFO) and retail inventory methods, including but not limited to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average costing methods. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-04, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits: Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets.” This ASU permits an entity with a fiscal year-end that doesn’t coincide with a month-end, to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end and apply that consistently from year to year. The practical expedient requires if a contribution or significant event occurs between the month-end date used to measure the defined benefit plan assets and an entity’s fiscal year end, the entity should adjust the measurement of the defined benefit plan assets and obligations to reflect the effects of those contributions and other significant events. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company has elected to adopt this guidance for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2016. The respective assets and liabilities associated with the defined benefit plans have been valued as of March 31, 2016, with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Other than requiring a different presentation within the balance sheet, the adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items.” This update eliminates the concept of extraordinary items and removes the requirements to separately present extraordinary events. This ASU also requires additional disclosures for items that are both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern.” This update requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and requires related footnote disclosures. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” to clarify existing guidance on revenue recognition. This guidance includes the required steps to achieve the core principle that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with no early adoption permitted. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of the pronouncement may have on its financial position and/or results of operations. In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” This update requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations and amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under this ASU only disposals constituting a major financial or operational impact or that represent a strategic shift should be reported as discontinued operations. This update also requires new disclosures for individually material disposals that do not qualify as discontinued operations. This guidance was adopted by the Company at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
