Fox Factory Holding Corp. (the "Company") designs and manufactures performance ride dynamics products primarily for bicycles, side-by-side vehicles, on-road and off-road vehicles and trucks, all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, specialty vehicles and applications, and motorcycles. The Company acts both as a tier one supplier to leading action sports original equipment manufacturers and provides aftermarket products to retailers and distributors. |
Throughout this Form 10-K, unless stated otherwise or as the context otherwise requires, the "Company," "FOX," "Fox Factory," "we," "us," "our," and "ours" refer to Fox Factory Holding Corp. and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. |
|
Basis of Presentation- The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. |
Initial Public Offering- On August 13, 2013, the Company completed the initial public offering ("IPO") of its common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1. In the IPO, the Company sold 2,857 shares of common stock and the selling stockholders sold a total of 7,000 shares of common stock (including the shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the option granted to the underwriters) at an initial public offering price to the public of $15.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds from the IPO of approximately $36,122 from its sale of 2,857 shares of common stock after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders. The Company used the net proceeds it received to pay down related party debt. In July 2014, certain selling stockholders completed a secondary offering of the Company's common stock, which is described more fully in Note 9 - Stockholders' Equity. |
Principles of Consolidation- The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
Use of Estimates- The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from management’s estimates. |
|
In the second quarter of 2014, the Company concluded an analysis of legal developments and business practices relative to the apportionment of income for state tax purposes that resulted in a change in estimate regarding income taxes. See Note 11 - Income Taxes. |
Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction - The functional currency of the Company’s non-U.S. entities is the local currency of the respective operations. The Company translates the financial statements of its non-U.S. entities into U.S. dollars each reporting period for purposes of consolidation. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated at the period-end currency exchange rates while sales and expenses are translated at the average currency exchange rates in effect for the period. The effects of these translation adjustments are a component of other comprehensive income. |
Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) of $649 , $(5), and $17 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are included as a component of other income or expense. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash consists of cash maintained in a checking account. All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of 90 days or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. |
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are unsecured customer obligations which generally require payment within various terms from the invoice date. The receivables are stated at the invoice amount. Financing terms vary by customer. Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or if unspecified, generally to the earliest unpaid invoices. |
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that may not be collected. All accounts or portions thereof deemed to be uncollectible or that may require an excessive collection cost are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. |
Concentration of Credit Risk -Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. A significant portion of the Company’s cash is held at one large financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. |
|
The Company mitigates its credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations and monitoring of its customers’ accounts receivable balances. The following customers accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable balance: |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| December 31, | | | | | | | | |
| 2014 | | 2013 | | | | | | | | |
Customer A | 17% | | 16% | | | | | | | | |
Customer B | 14% | | 11% | | | | | | | | |
During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, Customer A from the table above represented 14%, 17%, and 13% of sales, respectively. |
The Company depends on a limited number of vendors to supply component parts for its products. The Company purchased 44%, 48%, and 43% of its product components for the years ended December, 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, from ten vendors. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, amounts due to these vendors represented 38% and 53% of accounts payable, respectively. |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts -The Company records a provision for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and a detailed assessment of the collectibility of its accounts receivable. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers, among other factors, the aging of the accounts receivable, historical write-offs, and the credit-worthiness of each customer. If circumstances change, such as higher-than-expected defaults or an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations, the Company’s estimate of the recoverability of the amounts due could be reduced by a material amount. |
The following table presents the activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts: |
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| For the years ended December 31, |
Allowance for doubtful accounts: | 2014 | | 2013 | | 2012 |
Balance, beginning of year | $ | 366 | | | $ | 440 | | | $ | 372 | |
|
Add: bad debt (benefit) expense | (10 | ) | | (45 | ) | | 87 | |
|
Less: write-offs, net of recoveries | (8 | ) | | (29 | ) | | (19 | ) |
Balance, end of year | $ | 348 | | | $ | 366 | | | $ | 440 | |
|
|
Inventories -Inventories are stated at the lower of actual cost (or standard cost which generally approximates actual costs on a first-in first-out basis) or market value. Cost includes raw materials, as well as direct labor and manufacturing overhead for products we manufacture. Market value is based on current replacement cost for raw materials and on a net realizable value for finished goods. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess, obsolescence or impaired balances. |
Property and Equipment -Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized. |
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease, or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. The value assigned to land associated with buildings we own, which is not material, is not amortized. Depreciation and amortization periods for the Company’s property and equipment are as follows: |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Asset Classification | | Estimated useful life | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Machine shop equipment | | 10-15 years | | | | | | | | | |
Manufacturing equipment | | 5-10 years | | | | | | | | | |
Office equipment and furniture | | 3-5 years | | | | | | | | | |
Transportation equipment | | 5 years | | | | | | | | | |
Building | | 39 years | | | | | | | | | |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets -The Company periodically reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is impaired or the estimated useful lives are no longer appropriate. If indicators of impairment exist and the undiscounted projected cash flows associated with such assets are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded to write the asset down to their estimated fair values. Fair value is estimated based on discounted future cash flows. No impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. |
Business Combinations -The Company accounts for acquisitions of entities that include inputs and processes and have the ability to create outputs as business combinations. The Company allocates the purchase price of the acquisition to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses and restructuring costs are expensed as incurred. During the measurement period, the Company records adjustments to provisional amounts recorded for assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. After the measurement period, which could be up to one year after the transaction date, subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of income. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets -Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Annually the Company either makes a qualitative assessment prior to proceeding to step 1 of the annual goodwill impairment test or performs a two-step impairment test. If the Company makes a qualitative assessment and it determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company would perform step 1 of the annual goodwill impairment test and, if necessary, proceed to step 2. Otherwise, no further evaluation is necessary. For the two-step impairment test, in the first step, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit based on a weighting of income and market approaches. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company performs the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Impairments, if any, are charged directly to earnings. The Company has a single reporting unit for purposes of assessing goodwill impairment. No impairment charges have been incurred to date. |
Intangible assets include customer relationships and the Company’s core technology, are subject to amortization over their respective useful lives, and are classified in intangibles, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. These intangibles are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value might not be recoverable, projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated remaining useful lives is compared against their respective carrying amounts. Trademarks and brands are considered to be indefinite life intangibles, and are not amortized but are subject to testing for impairment annually. No impairments of intangible assets were identified in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. |
Revenue Recognition -The Company recognizes sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title has transferred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility of the receivable is reasonably assured. Provisions for discounts, rebates, sales incentives, returns, and other adjustments are provided for in the period the related sales are recorded based on an assessment of historical trends and current projection of future results. Sales are recorded net of sales tax. |
Cost of Sales -Cost of sales primarily consists of materials and labor expense in the manufacturing of the Company’s products. Cost of sales also includes provisions for excess and obsolete inventory, warranty costs, certain allocated costs for facilities, depreciation and other manufacturing overhead. Additionally, it includes stock-based compensation for personnel directly involved with manufacturing the Company’s product offerings. |
Sales and Marketing -Sales and marketing expenses include costs related to sales, customer service and marketing personnel, including their wages, employee benefits and related stock-based compensation, and occupancy related expenses. Other significant sales and marketing expenses include race support and sponsorships of events and athletes, advertising and promotions related to trade shows, travel and entertainment, and promotional materials, products and sales offices costs. |
Research and Development -Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel costs, including wages, employee benefits and related stock-based compensation for the Company’s engineering, research and development teams, occupancy related expenses, fees for third party consultants, service fees, and expenses for prototype tooling and materials, travel, and supplies. The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. |
General and Administrative -General and administrative expenses include costs related to executive, finance, information technology, human resources and administrative personnel, including wages, employee benefits and related stock-based compensation expenses. The Company records professional and contract service expenses, occupancy related expenses associated with corporate locations and equipment, and legal expenses in general and administrative expenses. The Company paid annual management fees to an affiliate of the Company’s former majority stockholder, Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC (“Compass”), which fees are included as part of general and administrative expenses. See Note 6 - Related Party Transactions. The Company terminated the management services agreement with Compass upon the consummation of the IPO in August 2013. |
Stock-Based Compensation -The Company measures stock-based compensation for all stock-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), based on their estimated fair values on the date of the grant and recognizes the stock-based compensation cost for time-vested awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For performance-based RSUs, the amount of shares ultimately expected to vest is estimated at each reporting date based on management’s expectations regarding the relevant performance criteria. To the extent shares are expected to vest, the stock-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, net of estimated forfeitures. The forfeiture rate is based on an analysis of the Company’s actual historical forfeitures. The fair value of the RSU’s is equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of the award. |
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs -The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers in sales. Shipping costs associated with inbound freight are capitalized as part of inventory and included in cost of sales as products are sold. |
Income Taxes -The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. |
The Company recognizes the tax effects of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date and then only in an amount more likely than not to be sustained upon review by the tax authorities. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. |
Advertising -Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for advertising totaled $1,012 , $448, and $534 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
Warranties -The Company offers limited warranties on its products for one to two years. The Company recognizes estimated costs related to warranty activities as a component of cost of sales upon product shipment. The estimates are based upon historical product failure rates and historical costs incurred in correcting product failures. The recorded amount is adjusted from time to time for specifically identified warranty exposures. Actual warranty expenses are charged against the Company’s estimated warranty liability when incurred. Factors that affect the Company’s liability include the number of units, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and the cost per claim. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, that requires the valuation of assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value based on hierarchy of available inputs as follows: |
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and |
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity). |
|
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Amounts owed under the Company's credit facility approximate fair value due to the variable interest rate features embedded in both the line of credit and term debt. |
Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties- The Company is subject to those risks common in manufacturing-driven markets, including, but not limited to, competitive forces, dependence on key personnel, customer demand for its products, the successful protection of its proprietary technologies, compliance with government regulations, and the possibility of not being able to obtain additional financing when needed. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements- In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board issued their converged standard on revenue recognition, Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This standard outlines a single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the good or service. Transfer of control is not the same as transfer of risks and rewards, as it is considered in current guidance. We will apply the new guidance to determine whether revenue should be recognized over time or at a point in time. This standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with no early adoption permitted, and the Company can choose to apply this standard retrospectively for each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of the initial application in retained earnings. |
Other accounting standards updates effective after December 31, 2014, are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows. |
