We intend the forward-looking statements throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. Statements contained in this report which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” and other phrases of similar meaning. Such statements include expectations regarding improvements to DynaEnergetics’ end markets, our ability to access the capital markets, expected continuing litigation costs, expected material and labor cost trends, our ability to claim the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, as amended, and the availability of funds to support our liquidity position and our expected future liquidity position. The forward-looking information is based on information available as of the date of this quarterly report and on numerous assumptions and developments that are not within our control. Although we believe that our expectations as expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will turn out to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, those factors referenced in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and such things as the following: impacts of COVID-19 and any related preventative or protective actions taken by governmental authorities and resulting economic impacts, including recessions or depressions; supply chain delays and disruptions; transportation disruptions; the ability to obtain new contracts at attractive prices; the size and timing of customer orders and shipments; product pricing and margins; our ability to realize sales from our backlog; fluctuations in customer demand; fluctuations in foreign currencies; competitive factors; the timely completion of contracts; the timing and size of expenditures; the timely receipt of government approvals and permits; the price and availability of metal and other raw material; fluctuations in tariffs or quotas; changes in laws and regulations, both domestic and foreign, impacting our business and the business of the end-market users we serve; the adequacy of local labor supplies at our facilities; current or future limits on manufacturing capacity at our various operations; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses; the impact of pending or future litigation or regulatory matters; the availability and cost of funds; our ability to access our borrowing capacity under our credit facility or access the capital markets; and global economic conditions and political and economic developments. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The information included in the condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited but includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DMC Global Inc. (“DMC”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) and its controlled subsidiaries. Only subsidiaries in which controlling interests are maintained are consolidated. All significant intercompany accounts, profits, and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Marketable Securities
We typically invest in highly rated securities with the primary objectives of preserving principal, providing access to liquidity to fund the ongoing operations and strategic needs of the Company and its subsidiaries, and achieving a yield that is commensurate with low risk and highly liquid securities.
Our investments in marketable debt securities are classified as either trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity based on the nature of the securities and their availability for use in current operations. The Company classifies its marketable debt securities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as current or non-current based on related maturities and expectations of sales and redemptions in the subsequent twelve-month period. The Company may sell certain of its marketable debt securities prior to their stated maturities to manage liquidity, credit risk, or asset allocation.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our investments had maturities ranging from three to twelve months, and all such investments have been classified and accounted for as trading securities.
The Company’s investments in marketable securities consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2021 | | December 31, 2020 |
U.S. Treasury securities | $ | 76,590 | | | $ | 25,736 | |
Commercial paper (A-1 or P-1 rated) | 68,341 | | | 0 | |
Marketable securities | $ | 144,931 | | | $ | 25,736 | |
The Company’s U.S. Treasury securities have annual yields between 0.01% and 0.02% and the commercial paper securities have annual yields between 0.05% and 0.1%. The Company’s investments in marketable securities are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations within “Other income, net." For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the net gains on marketable securities were $3 and $10, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
The Company measures expected credit losses for its accounts receivable using a current expected credit loss model, which is based on historical experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company has disaggregated pools of accounts receivable balances by business, geography and/or customer risk profile and has used history and other experience to establish an allowance for credit losses at the time the receivable is recognized. To measure expected credit losses, we have elected to pool trade receivables by segment and analyze DynaEnergetics and NobelClad accounts receivable balances as separate populations. Within each segment, receivables exhibit similar risk characteristics.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, our expected loss rate continued to reflect uncertainties in market conditions present in both of our businesses due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we reviewed receivables outstanding, including aged balances, and in circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation to us, we recorded a specific allowance for credit losses (with the offsetting expense charged to “Selling and distribution expenses” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) against the amounts due, reducing the net recognized receivable to the amount we estimate will be collected. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, provisions of $58 and $96, respectively, were recorded.
The following table summarizes year-to-date activity in the allowance for credit losses on receivables from DynaEnergetics and NobelClad customers:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| DynaEnergetics | | NobelClad | | DMC Global Inc. |
Allowance for doubtful accounts, December 31, 2020 | $ | 2,590 | | | $ | 15 | | | $ | 2,605 | |
| | | | | |
Current period provision for expected credit losses | 96 | | | 0 | | | 96 | |
| | | | | |
Recoveries of amounts previously reserved | (10) | | | 0 | | | (10) | |
Impacts of foreign currency exchange rates and other | (1) | | | 0 | | | (1) | |
Allowance for doubtful accounts, June 30, 2021 | $ | 2,675 | | | $ | 15 | | | $ | 2,690 | |
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from consideration paid by customers for tangible goods. The Company analyzes its different goods by segment to determine the appropriate basis for revenue recognition. Revenue is not generated from sources other than contracts with customers and revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. There are no material upfront costs for operations that are incurred from contracts with customers.
Our rights to payments for goods transferred to customers arise when control is transferred at a point in time and not on any other criteria. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days. In instances when we require customers to make advance payments prior to the shipment of their orders, we record a contract liability. We have determined that our contract liabilities do not include a significant financing component given the short duration between order initiation and order fulfillment within each of our segments. Please refer to Note 5 “Contract Liabilities” for further information on contract liabilities and Note 10 “Business Segments” for disaggregated revenue disclosures.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or tax laws are included in the provision for income taxes in the period of enactment. The deferred income tax impact of tax credits is recognized as an immediate adjustment to income tax expense. We recognize deferred tax assets for the expected future effects of all deductible temporary differences to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. We record a valuation allowance when, based on current circumstances, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, recent financial operations and their associated valuation allowances, if any.
We recognize the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the position that it will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured as the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate resolution. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in operating expense.
Earnings Per Share
In periods with net income, the Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) using a two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for (i) each class of common stock (the Company has a single class of common
stock), and (ii) participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Restricted stock awards are considered participating securities in periods of net income as they receive non-forfeitable rights to dividends similar to common stock. Restricted stock awards do not participate in net losses.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS adjusts basic EPS for the effects of restricted stock awards, performance share units and other potentially dilutive financial instruments (dilutive securities), only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. The effect of the dilutive securities is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the more dilutive of (1) the treasury stock method or (2) the two-class method. For the periods presented, diluted EPS using the treasury stock method was less dilutive than the two-class method; as such, only the two-class method has been included below.

Deferred compensation
The Company maintains a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) as part of its overall compensation package for certain employees. Participants are eligible to defer a portion of their annual salary, their annual incentive bonus, and their equity awards through the Plan on a tax-deferred basis. Deferrals into the Plan are not matched or subsidized by the Company, nor are they eligible for above-market or preferential earnings.
The Plan provides for deferred compensation obligations to be settled either by delivery of a fixed number of shares of DMC’s common stock or in cash, in accordance with participant contributions and elections. For deferred equity awards, subsequent to equity award vesting and after a period prescribed by the Plan, participants can elect to diversify contributions of equity awards into other investment options available to Plan participants. Once diversified, contributions of equity awards will be settled by delivery of cash.
The Company has established a grantor trust commonly known as a “rabbi trust” and contributed certain assets to satisfy the future obligations to participants in the Plan. These assets are subject to potential claims of the Company’s general creditors. The assets held in the trust include unvested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), vested company stock awards, company-owned life insurance (“COLI”) on certain employees, and money market and mutual funds. Unvested RSAs and common stock held by the trust are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within “Treasury stock, at cost, and company stock held for deferred compensation, at par” at the par value of the common stock or unvested RSAs. These accounts are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the fair value of the common stock. COLI is accounted for at the cash surrender value while money market and mutual funds held by the trust are accounted for at fair value.
Deferred compensation obligations that will be settled in cash are accounted for on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the Plan. These obligations are adjusted based on changes in value of the underlying investment options chosen by Plan participants. Deferred compensation obligations that will be settled by delivery of a fixed number of previously vested shares of the Company’s common stock are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity within “Common stock” at the par value of the common stock or unvested RSAs. These accounts are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the fair value of the common stock.
The balances related to the deferred compensation plan were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Consolidated Balance Sheet location | June 30, 2021 | | December 31, 2020 |
Deferred compensation assets | | Other assets | $ | 11,567 | | | $ | 7,596 | |
Deferred compensation obligations | | Other long-term liabilities | $ | 13,942 | | | $ | 11,894 | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as 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. We are required to use an established hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation and the degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:
•Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible as of the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation include quoted prices in either markets that are not active, or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The highest priority is assigned to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
The carrying value of accounts receivable and payable, accrued expenses, revolving loans under our credit facility and borrowings under our capital expenditure facility, when outstanding, approximate their fair value.
Our U.S. Treasury marketable securities are valued using quoted prices in active markets that are accessible as of the measurement date. Our revolving loans and borrowings under our capital expenditure facility, when outstanding, reset each month at market interest rates. Money market funds and mutual funds of $7,923 as of June 30, 2021 and $4,244 as of December 31, 2020 held to satisfy future deferred compensation obligations are valued based upon the market values of underlying securities. We classify these assets as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Our commercial paper marketable securities are valued using quoted market prices in non-active markets. Our foreign currency forward contracts are also valued using quoted market prices in non-active markets or are determined using a yield curve model based on current market rates. As a result, we classify commercial paper marketable securities and foreign currency forward contracts as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
We did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding accounting for income taxes. The new standard removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 Income Taxes and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to provide for more consistent application. The new standard became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
3. INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. Significant cost elements included in inventory are material, labor, freight, subcontract costs, and manufacturing overhead. As necessary, we adjust inventory to its net realizable value by recording provisions for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and values, and compare them to estimates of future product demand, market conditions, production requirements and technological developments.
Inventories consisted of the following at June 30, 2021:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| DynaEnergetics | | NobelClad | | DMC Global Inc. |
Raw materials | $ | 16,698 | | | $ | 10,675 | | | $ | 27,373 | |
Work-in-process | 10,966 | | | 7,721 | | | 18,687 | |

Inventories | $ | 33,118 | | | $ | 19,455 | | | $ | 52,573 | |
4. PURCHASED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Our purchased intangible assets consisted of the following as of June 30, 2021: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Gross | | Accumulated Amortization | | Net |
Core technology | $ | 16,778 | | | $ | (14,387) | | | $ | 2,391 | |
Customer relationships | 36,799 | | | (36,799) | | | 0 | |
Trademarks / Trade names | 2,124 | | | (2,124) | | | 0 | |
Total intangible assets | $ | 55,701 | | | $ | (53,310) | | | $ | 2,391 | |
Our purchased intangible assets consisted of the following as of December 31, 2020: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Gross | | Accumulated Amortization | | Net |
Core technology | $ | 17,899 | | | $ | (14,234) | | | $ | 3,665 | |
Customer relationships | 37,638 | | | (37,638) | | | 0 | |
Trademarks / Trade names | 2,194 | | | (2,194) | | | 0 | |
Total intangible assets | $ | 57,731 | | | $ | (54,066) | | | $ | 3,665 | |
The change in the gross value of our purchased intangible assets from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021 was due to foreign currency translation and the recognition of the tax benefit of tax deductible goodwill amortization related to the 2007 acquisition of our German subsidiaries. Prior to the impairment of the goodwill related to the NobelClad and DynaEnergetics reporting units at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2015, respectively, the tax benefit of tax amortization reduced the goodwill balance. After we fully impaired the goodwill, which is only written off for U.S. GAAP purposes, the tax benefit of tax goodwill amortization reduces the gross value of the purchased intangible assets related to this acquisition.
5. CONTRACT LIABILITIES
On occasion, we require customers to make advance payments prior to the shipment of goods in order to help finance our inventory investment on large orders or to keep customers’ credit limits at acceptable levels. Contract liabilities were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2021 | | December 31, 2020 |
NobelClad | $ | 9,904 | | | $ | 4,450 | |
DynaEnergetics | 284 | | | 478 | |
| | | |
Total | $ | 10,188 | | | $ | 4,928 | |
We generally expect to recognize the revenue associated with contract liabilities over a time period no longer than one year, but unforeseen circumstances can cause delays in shipments associated with contract liabilities. Approximately 54% of the $4,928 recorded as contract liabilities at December 31, 2020 was recorded to net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
6. LEASES
The Company leases real properties for use in manufacturing and as administrative and sales offices, and also leases automobiles and office equipment. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease arrangement at the inception of the contract. For leases in which the Company is the lessee, leases are classified as either finance or operating. Right of use (ROU) assets are initially measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term plus initial direct costs, if any, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. If a lease does not provide a discount rate and the rate cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the future lease payments. Lease and non-lease components within the Company’s lease agreements are accounted for together.
Nearly all of the Company’s leasing arrangements are classified as operating leases. ROU asset and lease liability balances were as follows for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2021 | | December 31, 2020 |
ROU asset | $ | 10,393 | | | $ | 10,733 | |
| | | |
Current lease liability | 1,477 | | | 1,741 | |
Long-term lease liability | 9,944 | | | 10,066 | |
Total lease liability | $ | 11,421 | | | $ | 11,807 | |
The ROU asset was included in “Other assets” while the current lease liability was reported in “Other current liabilities” and the long-term lease liability was reported in “Other long-term liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Cash paid for operating lease liabilities are recorded as cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, operating lease costs were $1,039 and $894, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, operating lease costs were $2,010 and $1,996, respectively. Operating lease costs were included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Short term and variable lease costs were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Certain of the Company’s leases contain renewal options and options to extend the leases for up to five years, and a majority of these options are reflected in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability due to the likelihood of renewal.
The following table summarizes the weighted average lease terms and discount rates for operating lease liabilities: | | | | | |
| June 30, 2021 |
Weighted average remaining lease term (in years) | 8.12 |
Weighted average discount rate | 5.0 | % |
The following table represents maturities of operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2021: | | | | | |
Due within 1 year | $ | 1,477 | |
Due after 1 year through 2 years | 2,193 | |
Due after 2 years through 3 years | 2,059 | |
Due after 3 years through 4 years | 1,831 | |
Due after 4 years through 5 years | 1,764 | |
Due after 5 years | 5,206 | |
Total future minimum lease payments | 14,530 | |
Less imputed interest | (3,109) | |
Total | $ | 11,421 | |
7. DEBT
As of June 30, 2021 we had 0 outstanding borrowings under our credit facility. As of December 31, 2020, outstanding borrowings consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | |
| | | |
Syndicated credit agreement: | | | |
| | | |

Total debt | | | 11,264 | |
Less: current portion of long-term debt | | | (3,125) | |
Long-term debt | | | $ | 8,139 | |
Syndicated Credit Agreement
On March 8, 2018, we entered into a five-year $75,000 syndicated credit agreement (“credit facility”) which replaced in its entirety our prior syndicated credit facility entered into on February 23, 2015. The credit facility is with a syndicate of 3 banks, with KeyBank, N.A. acting as administrative agent. The facility is secured by the assets of DMC including accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets, as well as guarantees and share pledges by DMC and its subsidiaries. The credit facility allows for revolving loans of up to $50,000 with a $20,000 US dollar equivalent sublimit for alternative currency loans. In addition, the agreement provided for a $25,000 Capital Expenditure Facility (“Capex Facility”) which was used to assist in financing our DynaEnergetics manufacturing expansion project in Blum, Texas. At the end of year one, the Capex Facility converted to a term loan which was amortizable at 12.5% of principal per year with a balloon payment for the outstanding balance upon the credit facility maturity date in 2023. In February 2021, we repaid the remaining Capex Facility balance of $11,750.
The credit facility has a $100,000 accordion feature to increase the commitments under the revolving loan class and/or by adding a term loan subject to approval by applicable lenders.
Borrowings under the $50,000 revolving loan can be in the form of one-, two-, three-, or six-month LIBOR rate loans. Additionally, US dollar borrowings on the revolving loan can be in the form of Base Rate loans (Base Rate borrowings are based on the greater of the administrative agent’s Prime rates, an adjusted Federal Funds rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate). LIBOR loans bear interest at the applicable LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.50% to 3.00%). Base Rate loans bear interest at the defined Base rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.50% to 2.00%).
Borrowings under the $20,000 alternate currency sublimit can be in euros, Canadian dollars, pounds sterling, and in any other currency acceptable to the administrative agent. Alternative currency borrowings denominated in euros, pounds sterling, and any other currency that is dealt with on the London Interbank Deposit Market shall be comprised of LIBOR loans and bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.50% to 3.00%).
On June 25, 2020, we entered into an amendment ("Amendment") to the credit facility. The Amendment set the minimum LIBOR at 0.75%. The other provisions of the Amendment, including waiver of the debt service coverage ratio, were applicable through the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and were no longer applicable beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
On October 22, 2020, in connection with the commencement of our at-the-market offering, we entered into an amendment to the credit facility to waive the requirement that we repay outstanding balances under the credit facility from the proceeds of any equity offering. The waiver applies to at-the-market offerings up to $75 million.
The credit facility, as amended, includes various covenants and restrictions, certain of which relate to the payment of dividends or other distributions to stockholders; redemption of capital stock; incurrence of additional indebtedness; mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets; and maintenance of specified ratios. As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.
We also maintain a line of credit with a German bank for certain European operations. In July 2020, the German Bank Facility was amended to increase the borrowing capacity from €4,000 to €7,000. Of the €7,000 borrowing capacity, €4,085 was available as of June 30, 2021 after considering outstanding letters of credit.
Given that we had 0 outstanding debt as of June 30, 2021, our deferred debt issuance costs of $374 were reported in the “Other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our deferred debt issuance costs of $486 as of December 31, 2020 were reported in the “Long-term debt” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Deferred debt issuance costs are being amortized over the remaining term of the credit facility which expires on March 8, 2023.
8. EQUITY OFFERINGS AND PROGRAM
Equity Offering
On May 3, 2021, the Company announced a registered public offering (“Offering”) of its stock under an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR filed on May 3, 2021. The Company entered into an underwriting agreement with KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. (“KeyBanc”), as representative of the underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 2,500,000 shares of its $0.05 par value common stock to the Underwriters. In addition, the Underwriters were granted an option, exercisable within 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 375,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any, on the same terms and conditions.
On May 7, 2021, DMC issued a total of 2,875,000 shares of its common stock, which included the exercise of the over-allotment option, at a market price of $45 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $129,375. Net proceeds from the offering were $123,461, after deducting underwriter fees and other expenses of $5,914. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions. Pending use of the proceeds as described, we invested the proceeds of the offering in highly liquid marketable securities, including commercial paper and U.S. Treasury securities. Please see discussion of our marketable securities in Note 2.
At-the-Market Equity Program
On October 22, 2020, the Company commenced an at-the-market ("ATM") equity program under its shelf registration statement, which allows it to sell and issue up to $75 million in shares of its common stock from time to time. The Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement on October 22, 2020 with KeyBanc relating to the issuance and sale of shares of common stock pursuant to the program. KeyBanc is not required to sell any specific amount of securities but will act as our sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between KeyBanc and us. There is no specific date on which the ATM equity program will end and there are no minimum purchase requirements. KeyBanc will be entitled to compensation for shares sold pursuant to the program in an amount up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the Equity Distribution Agreement.
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company did 0t sell any shares of common stock through its ATM equity program. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold 397,820 shares of common stock through its ATM equity program for gross proceeds of $25,647 at a weighted average price per share of $64.47. Net proceeds from such sales were $25,262, after deducting commissions paid to the sales agents of approximately $385. Since the inception of the program, the Company has sold 1,006,180 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $51,779 at a weighted average price per share of $51.46.
9. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for each of the periods reported differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to variation in contribution to consolidated pre-tax income from each jurisdiction for the respective periods, differences between the U.S. and foreign tax rates (which range from 20% to 34%), permanent differences between book and taxable income, and changes to valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets.
We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use existing deferred tax assets. Additionally, a three-year cumulative loss at a Consolidated Financial Statement level may be viewed as negative evidence impacting a jurisdiction that by itself is not in a three-year cumulative loss position. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, we did not record any adjustments to previously established valuation allowances, except for adjustments related to the changes in balances of the related deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to monitor the realizability of deferred tax assets and the need for valuation allowances and will record adjustments in the periods in which facts support such adjustments.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) provides that foreign earnings generally can be repatriated to the U.S. without federal tax consequence. We have assessed the assertion that cumulative earnings by our foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested. We continue to permanently reinvest the earnings of our international subsidiaries and therefore we do not provide for U.S. income taxes or withholding taxes that could result from the distribution of those earnings to the U.S. parent. Nevertheless, if any such earnings were ultimately distributed to the U.S. in the form of dividends or otherwise, or if the shares of our international subsidiaries were sold or transferred, we could be subject to additional U.S. federal and state income taxes. Due to the multiple avenues in which earnings can be repatriated, and because a large portion of these earnings are not liquid, it is not practical to estimate the amount of additional taxes that might be payable on these amounts of undistributed foreign income.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, our German operating entities commenced a tax audit for fiscal years 2015 through 2017. The audit concluded in the second quarter of 2021, and we are awaiting final assessments from the German authorities. We do not anticipate any material adjustments to our previously recorded accruals.

11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily the U.S. dollar to euro, the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar, and, to a lesser extent, other currencies, arising from inter-company and third-party transactions entered into by our subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. Changes in exchange rates with respect to these transactions result in unrealized gains or losses if such transactions are unsettled at the end of the reporting period or realized gains or losses at settlement of the transaction. We use foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency denominated asset and liability positions. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges, and all changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are recognized in “Other income (expense), net” within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We execute derivatives with a specialized foreign exchange brokerage firm as well as other large financial institutions. The primary credit risk inherent in derivative agreements is the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. We perform a review of the credit risk of our counterparties at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis. We anticipate that our counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements but will take action if doubt arises regarding the counterparties’ ability to perform.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the notional amounts of the forward currency contracts the Company held were $7,625 and $2,092, respectively. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair values of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts were $0.
The following table presents the location and amount of net gains from hedging activities:

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingent Liabilities
The Company records an accrual for contingent liabilities when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. If some amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount is accrued. When no amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the lowest amount in the range is accrued.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
13. RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS
During the first quarter of 2021, NobelClad recorded an accrual for additional severance liabilities of $116 which were agreed to with local labor authorities for employees terminated as part of closing manufacturing operations in France in 2018.
During the second quarter of 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic-related collapse in oil and gas demand led to a downturn in well completions and the corresponding demand for DynaEnergetics’ products. As a result, DynaEnergetics recorded asset impairment charges of $1,181 on certain manufacturing assets that will no longer be utilized in production at its Blum, Texas and Troisdorf, Germany facilities. Additionally, both DynaEnergetics and NobelClad further reduced the respective workforces during the quarter. Finally, DynaEnergetics continued activities to prepare its Tyumen, Siberia facility for sale.
During the first quarter of 2020, DMC reduced its workforce by 264 positions to address a sharp decline in well completions in the Company’s core oil and gas end market principally due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The workforce reduction impacted full-time, part-time and temporary direct-labor roles in manufacturing and assembly at DynaEnergetics as well as general and administrative positions at DynaEnergetics, NobelClad, and at DMC’s corporate office.
Total restructuring and impairment charges incurred for these programs are as follows and are reported in the “Restructuring expenses and asset impairments” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and notes, as well as the selected historical consolidated financial data that is included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Unless stated otherwise, all currency amounts are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars (000s).
Overview
General
DMC Global Inc. (“DMC”) operates two technical product and process business segments serving the energy, industrial and infrastructure markets. These segments, DynaEnergetics and NobelClad, operate globally through an international network of manufacturing, distribution and sales facilities.
Our diversified segments each provide a suite of unique technical products to niche sectors of the global energy, industrial and infrastructure markets, and each has established a strong or leading position in the markets in which it participates. With an underlying focus on generating free cash flow, our objective is to sustain and grow the market share of our businesses through increased market penetration, development of new applications, and research and development of new and adjacent products that can be sold across our global network of sales and distribution facilities. We routinely explore acquisitions of related businesses that could strengthen or add to our existing product portfolios, or expand our geographic footprint and market presence. We also seek acquisition opportunities outside our current markets that would complement our existing businesses and enable us to build a stronger and more diverse company.
DynaEnergetics
DynaEnergetics designs, manufactures and distributes products utilized by the global oil and gas industry principally for the perforation of oil and gas wells. These products are sold to oilfield service companies in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. DynaEnergetics also sells directly to end-users. The market for perforating products, which are used during the well completion process, generally corresponds with oil and gas exploration and production activity. Exploration activity over the last several years has led to increasingly complex well completion operations, which in turn has increased the demand for high quality and technically advanced perforating products.
Cost of products sold for DynaEnergetics includes the cost of metals, explosives and other raw materials used to manufacture shaped charges, detonating products and perforating guns as well as employee compensation and benefits, freight in, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.
NobelClad
NobelClad produces explosion-welded clad metal plates for use in the construction of corrosion resistant industrial processing equipment and specialized transition joints. While a significant portion of the demand for our clad metal products is driven by maintenance and retrofit projects at existing chemical processing, petrochemical processing, oil refining, and aluminum smelting facilities, new plant construction and large plant expansion projects also account for a significant portion of total demand. These industries tend to be cyclical in nature and timing of new order inflow remains difficult to predict. We use backlog as a primary means to measure the immediate outlook for our NobelClad business. We define “backlog” at any given point in time as all firm, unfulfilled purchase orders and commitments at that time. Most firm purchase orders and commitments are realized, and we expect to fill most backlog orders within the following 12 months. NobelClad’s backlog increased to $45,134 at June 30, 2021 from $39,884 at December 31, 2020.
Cost of products sold for NobelClad includes the cost of metals and alloys used to manufacture clad metal plates, the cost of explosives, employee compensation and benefits, freight in, outside processing costs, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.
Factors Affecting Results
•Consolidated sales of $65,438 increased 18% versus the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher shipments out of backlog at NobelClad and the continued recovery in DynaEnergetics’ upstream oil and gas markets. Consolidated sales increased 51% versus the second quarter of 2020, in which energy demand, North American drilling and well completions activity and sales at DynaEnergetics was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
•DynaEnergetics sales of $42,268 in the second quarter of 2021 increased 11% compared with the first quarter of 2021 due to improved oil and gas demand, which led to higher North American drilling and well completions, and increased demand for DynaEnergetics’ DS perforating systems. In addition, DynaEnergetics international sales volume improved sequentially. Sales increased 79% compared with the second quarter of 2020, which was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
•NobelClad’s sales of $23,170 in the second quarter of 2021 increased 33% compared to the first quarter of 2021 and increased 18% compared with the second quarter of 2020 reflecting increased shipments of projects out of backlog which included shipments that were pushed into the second quarter due to widespread logistical bottlenecks and shipping delays in the first quarter of 2021.
•Consolidated gross profit was 26% in the second quarter of 2021 versus 23% in the first quarter of 2021 and 15% in the second quarter of 2020. The improvement from last year primarily relates to DynaEnergetics due to the impact of higher sales volume on fixed expenses and nonrecurring excess capacity charges that were recorded in 2020. In addition, the improvement from last year in NobelClad partly relates to improved project mix. Consolidated gross profit in the first and second quarter of 2021 also benefited from the receipt of $846 and $1,488, respectively, related to the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, as amended (“CARES Act”). In the first quarter of 2021, under provisions of legislation enacted in December 2020 the Company became eligible for the ERC under the CARES Act. As a result of the new legislation, the Company was able to claim a refundable tax credit equal to 70% of the qualified wages they paid to employees during the first and second quarters of 2021, limited to $10 per employee per quarter. Thus, the maximum ERC amount available to the Company was $7 per employee during the first and second quarters of 2021.
•Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $14,015 in the second quarter of 2021 compared with $12,195 in the second quarter of 2020. The increase primarily was due to higher litigation expenses related to patent enforcement actions against companies we believe infringe DynaEnergetics’ patents, restoration of variable compensation, and resumption of business-related travel. These increases were partially offset by a $765 CARES Act benefit.
•Restructuring expenses and asset impairments of $2,046 in the second quarter of 2020 primarily related to impairments of manufacturing assets at DynaEnergetics and costs associated with the sale of DynaEnergetics’ Tyumen, Siberia manufacturing facility.
•Cash and marketable securities of $181,294 increased $127,371 from $53,923 at December 31, 2020. The increase primarily relates to proceeds from our registered public equity offering in May 2021 and under our ongoing at-the-market equity offering program (“ATM equity program”).
Outlook
Improving economic conditions led to increased activity in several of our end markets during the second quarter of 2021. Rising energy prices drove improved demand for DynaEnergetics’ DS well perforating systems. We expect the demand recovery to continue in our primary upstream oil and gas end markets in the second half of 2021. However, despite increased well completion activity in North America, pricing pressure for products and services persists, and is delaying the margin recovery of our industry. During the recent market instability, a number of machine shops have taken advantage of extreme price sensitivity by commercializing undifferentiated and lower quality pre-wired carrier assemblies. These businesses are being supported and supplied by some of our industry’s large energetics manufacturers, which have not yet fully transitioned to their own integrated systems.
We believe many of the pre-wired carriers in the market incorporate features that violate DynaEnergetics patents, and we are taking aggressive legal action against the companies that make these products. DynaEnergetics has made significant investments in technologies and products that have improved the safety, efficiency and performance of its customers’ well
completions, and have enhanced the effectiveness and profitability of the industry as a whole. Our patent strategy is designed to protect these investments and provide transparency so others can innovate without violating our intellectual property. These lawsuits have increased our general and administrative expenses in the first six months of 2021, and we expect these costs to be ongoing throughout the remainder of 2021 and into 2022.
NobelClad was awarded an $8,800 order during the second quarter of 2021 for titanium clad plates that will be used to fabricate specialized equipment for a large purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant. The plant was engineered in Europe, will be built in Southwest Asia and will include titanium-clad equipment fabricated in China. The clad plates, which will be used to fabricate pressure vessels and heat exchangers, will be manufactured at NobelClad’s production facility in Mt. Braddock, Pennsylvania, and are scheduled to ship in this year’s third and fourth quarters. This large order will help offset a pandemic-related downturn in NobelClad’s base repair and maintenance business, which tends to lag the cycles of the broader economy. In addition, NobelClad continues to pursue several large orders in a broad range of industrial end markets.
In the third quarter of 2021, NobelClad introduced DetaPipe™, a high-performance clad-pipe solution for the chemical and metal-processing markets. This product offering is expected to provide customers with a better-performing, cost-effective alternative to solid zirconium or titanium pipe in their high-pressure, high temperature processing environments.
We are in a period of rising material and labor costs at both DynaEnergetics and NobelClad; both of which could also be impacted by supply-chain bottlenecks and availability of direct labor. In March 2021, provisions of legislation modified and extended the ERC under the CARES Act through December 31, 2021 for eligible companies. Under this extension, we will be able to claim the refundable tax credit for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, but at this time there is no guarantee that we will be able to claim the credit for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. These factors could negatively impact our net sales, gross profit margin, or operating income in future quarters.
From time to time, we also may continue to use our ATM equity program, which commenced in October 2020, to raise additional capital efficiently and responsibly. We did not sell shares under our ATM equity program during the second quarter of 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, we sold 397,820 shares of common stock at a weighted average price per share of $64.47 through our ATM equity program and received net proceeds of $25,262.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measure that we believe provides an important indicator of our ongoing operating performance and that we use in operational and financial decision-making. We define EBITDA as net income or loss plus or minus net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation, restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance (as further described in the tables below). As a result, internal management reports used during monthly operating reviews feature Adjusted EBITDA and certain management incentive awards are based, in part, on the amount of Adjusted EBITDA achieved during the year.
Adjusted operating income (loss) is defined as operating income (loss) plus restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance.
Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) plus restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as diluted earnings per share plus restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance.
Adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted diluted earnings per share are presented because management believes these measures are useful to understand the effects of restructuring and impairment charges on DMC’s operating income (loss), net income (loss) and diluted earnings per share, respectively.
Net cash is a non-GAAP measure we use to supplement information in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We define net cash as total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities less total debt. In addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses this information to evaluate its performance, and we believe that certain investors may do the same.
The presence of non-GAAP financial measures in this report is not intended to suggest that such measures be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or as superior to, DMC’s GAAP information, and investors are cautioned that the non-GAAP
financial measures are limited in their usefulness. Because not all companies use identical calculations, DMC’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Net sales increased $22,235 compared with the second quarter of 2020. The increase primarily was due to the recovery in oil and gas demand, which led to increased drilling and well completion activity in North America and increased sales of DynaEnergetics’ DS perforating systems. The second quarter of 2020 was severely impacted by the drop in demand for oil and gas drilling and completion activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gross profit percentage increased to 25.9% compared with the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to the impact of higher volume on fixed manufacturing overhead expenses and improved project mix at NobelClad. Additionally, gross profit percentage was also favorably impacted by a $1,488 CARES Act benefit.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,764 compared with the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to an increase in outside services costs by $1,502, which was primarily related to patent infringement litigation in which DynaEnergetics is the plaintiff and the restoration of variable compensation by $686. These increases were partially offset by a $344 CARES Act benefit.
Selling and distribution expenses increased $56 compared with the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to increases in depreciation expense by $334, the restoration of variable compensation by $289, resumption of business-related travel by $174, outside service costs by $166, salaries by $164, and recruiting costs by $111. These increases were partially offset by reductions in provisions for expected credit losses by $907 and a $421 CARES Act benefit.
Restructuring expenses and asset impairments in the second quarter of 2020 primarily related to asset impairment charges on certain manufacturing assets that will no longer be utilized in production at DynaEnergetics’ Blum, Texas and Troisdorf, Germany facilities and charges associated with the anticipated sale of DynaEnergetics’ Tyumen, Siberia manufacturing facility.
Operating income of $2,668 in the second quarter of 2021 increased compared to the same period last year primarily due to improved earnings at DynaEnergetics and NobelClad, including a total CARES Act benefit of $2,253 in the second quarter of 2021.
Other income, net of $108 in the second quarter of 2021 primarily related to net unrealized and realized foreign currency exchange gains. Currency gains and losses can arise when subsidiaries enter into inter-company and third-party transactions that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency, including foreign currency forward contracts used to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated asset and liability positions.
Interest expense, net of $81 decreased compared with the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to the repayment in full of our outstanding debt in the first quarter of 2021.
Income tax provision of $971 was recorded on income before income taxes of $2,695. Our most significant operations are in the United States, which has a 21% statutory income tax rate, and Germany, which has a 33% statutory income tax rate. The mix of income or loss before income taxes between these jurisdictions is one of the primary drivers of the difference between our 21% statutory tax rate and our effective tax rate. We recorded an income tax benefit of $2,583 on loss before income taxes of $8,231 for the second quarter of 2020.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $1,724, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $5,648, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the same period in 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA increased compared with the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to the factors discussed above. See “Overview” above for the explanation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA.

Net sales increased $4,330 compared with the first six months of 2020 primarily due to the recovery in oil and gas demand, which led to increased drilling and well completion activity in North America and increased sales of DynaEnergetics’ DS perforating systems. The first six months of 2020 was severely impacted by the drop in demand for oil and gas and related drilling and well completion activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gross profit percentage decreased to 24.7% compared with the first six months of 2020 primarily due to lower average selling prices at DynaEnergetics. The decline was partially offset by excess capacity charges and inventory reserves that were recorded at DynaEnergetics in the second quarter of 2020, as well as favorable project mix in NobelClad, and a $2,334 CARES Act benefit in the first six months of 2021.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,569 compared with the first six months of 2020 primarily due to an increase in outside services costs by $1,469 mostly related to patent infringement litigation in which DynaEnergetics is the plaintiff and the restoration of variable compensation by $724. The increases were partially offset by a $679 CARES Act benefit.
Selling and distribution expenses decreased $3,228 compared with the first six months of 2020 primarily due to reductions in provisions for expected credit losses by $3,168 and an $816 CARES Act benefit. The decreases were partially offset by the restoration of variable compensation by $323.
Restructuring expenses and asset impairments of $127 in the first six months of 2021 primarily related to additional severance accruals for employee terminations associated with closing manufacturing operations in France in 2018. Expenses in 2020 primarily related to downsizing our direct labor workforce at DynaEnergetics in response to declining crude oil prices and corresponding demand for well perforating systems due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Operating income of $1,958 in 2021 reflect improved earnings at DynaEnergetics and NobelClad during 2021, including a total CARES Act benefit of $3,829 in 2021.
Other income, net of $502 in the first six months of 2021 primarily related to a gain on the sale of a fully depreciated fixed asset by DynaEnergetics combined with net unrealized and realized foreign currency exchange gains. Currency gains and losses can arise when subsidiaries enter into inter-company and third-party transactions that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency, including foreign currency forward contracts used to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated asset and liability positions.
Interest expense, net of $216 decreased compared with the first six months of 2020 primarily due to the repayment in full of our outstanding debt in the first quarter of 2021.
Income tax provision of $88 was recorded on income before income taxes of $2,244. Our most significant operations are in the United States, which has a 21% statutory income tax rate, and Germany, which has a 33% statutory income tax rate. The mix of income or loss before income taxes between these jurisdictions is one of the main drivers of the difference between our 21% statutory tax rate and our effective tax rate. The effective income tax rate was impacted favorably by discrete stock-based compensation windfall benefits of $793. The rate was also impacted unfavorably by geographic mix of pretax income, state taxes, and certain compensation expenses that are not tax deductible in the U.S. We recorded an income tax benefit of $514 on loss before income taxes of $2,007 for the first six months of 2020. The effective income tax rate was impacted unfavorably by the geographic mix of pretax income, state taxes, and certain compensation expenses that are not tax deductible in the U.S. The effective rate was also impacted favorably by discrete items of $315.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $2,156, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $1,493, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the same period in 2020.

Business Segment Financial Information
We primarily evaluate performance and allocate resources based on segment revenues, operating income and adjusted EBITDA as well as projected future performance. Segment operating income is defined as revenues less expenses identifiable to the segment. Segment operating income will reconcile to consolidated income before income taxes by deducting unallocated corporate expenses, including stock-based compensation, net other expense, and net interest expense.

Net sales were $18,625 higher than the second quarter of 2020 due to a recovery in oil and gas demand, which led to increased drilling and well completion activity in North America and increased sales of DynaEnergetics’ DS perforating systems. The second quarter of 2020 was severely impacted by the drop in demand for oil and gas and drilling and completion
activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The year-over-year increase in net sales was partially offset by lower international sales.
Gross profit percentage increased to 25.3% compared with the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to the impact of higher sales volume on fixed expenses, higher average selling prices, excess capacity charges and inventory reserves that were recorded in the second quarter of 2020, and a CARES Act benefit of $1,009 in the second quarter of 2021.
General and administrative expenses increased $855 compared with the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to an increase in outside services costs by $1,382 mostly related to patent infringement litigation in which DynaEnergetics is the plaintiff. The increase was partially offset by a CARES Act benefit of $112.
Selling and distribution expenses decreased $295 compared with the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to reductions in provisions for expected credit losses by $907 and a CARES Act benefit of $267. These decreases were partially offset by increases in depreciation expense by $336, restoration of variable compensation by $186, outside service costs by $137, and resumption of business-related travel by $104.
Restructuring expenses and asset impairments in 2020 primarily related to asset impairment charges on manufacturing equipment that was retired and charges associated with the sale of the Tyumen, Siberia manufacturing facility.
Operating income increased $10,096 compared with the second quarter of 2020 primarily due the impact of higher sales volume on fixed expenses, higher average selling prices, and a CARES Act benefit of $1,388.
Adjusted EBITDA increased compared with the second quarter of 2020 due to the factors discussed above. See “Overview” above for the explanation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA. The following is a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. | | | | | | | | | | | |

Net sales were $3,577 higher than in the first six months of 2020 due to a recovery in oil and gas demand, which led to increased drilling and well completion activity in North America and increased sales of DynaEnergetics’ DS perforating systems. The year-over-year increase in net sales was partially offset by lower international sales. The first six months of 2020
was severely impacted by the drop in demand for oil and gas and drilling and completion activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gross profit percentage decreased to 23.8% compared with 2020 primarily due to lower average selling prices in 2021 compared with 2020, which also contributed to lower fixed cost absorption. The decline was partially offset by a CARES Act benefit of $1,446.
General and administrative expenses increased $599 compared with 2020 primarily due to an increase in outside services costs by $1,555 mostly related to patent infringement litigation in which DynaEnergetics is the plaintiff. The increase was partially offset by a CARES Act benefit of $233.
Selling and distribution expenses decreased $2,993 compared with 2020 primarily due to reductions in provisions for expected credit losses by $2,856 and a CARES Act benefit of $521. These decreases were partially offset by increases in depreciation expense by $546 and restoration of variable compensation by $291.
Restructuring expenses and asset impairments in 2020 primarily related to measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic-related impact on oil and gas demand. We downsized our direct labor workforce in response to declining crude oil prices and corresponding demand for well perforating systems and recorded asset impairments. We also incurred costs associated with the anticipated sale of the Tyumen, Siberia manufacturing facility.
Operating income increased $3,009 compared with 2020 as increased sales volume, a CARES Act benefit of $2,200, and a reduction in the provisions for expected credit losses more than offset lower average selling prices.
Adjusted EBITDA increased compared with 2020 due to the factors discussed above. See “Overview” above for the explanation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA. The following is a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. | | | | | | | | | | | |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations from a combination of internally generated cash flow, revolving credit borrowings, and various long-term debt arrangements. The COVID-19 pandemic drove a sharp decline in DynaEnergetics' core oil and gas end markets and corresponding well-completion activity and demand for its perforating systems late in the first quarter of 2020. In April 2020, DMC announced several cost-containment actions to reduce our activity-based cost structure, limit spending and protect our balance sheet. These actions included reducing our workforce by 32%, implementing reduced work weeks at DynaEnergetics, significantly cutting selling, general and administrative expenses, reducing our capital expenditures budget by 50% and suspending the quarterly dividend. While the decline in crude oil prices and oil and gas demand accelerated early in the second quarter of 2020, sales volume has improved in the four consecutive quarters through the second quarter of 2021. Though NobelClad customers in the downstream energy industry have delayed various projects, NobelClad’s order backlog increased to $45,134 at June 30, 2021 from $39,884 at December 31, 2020.
We have also taken action to allow flexibility in accessing the capital markets. On October 22, 2020, we commenced an at-the-market equity program under a shelf registration statement filed in May 2020, which allows us to sell and issue up to $75 million in shares of our common stock from time to time, and since the inception of the program during the fourth quarter of 2020 we have sold 1,006,180 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $51,002. In connection with the commencement of the at-the-market equity program, we also amended our credit facility to waive the requirement to repay outstanding amounts under the credit facility with proceeds from the program. Our ability to access remaining capital may be limited by market conditions at the time of any future potential sale. While we were able to sell shares during the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, there can be no assurance that any future capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all.
Additionally, on May 3, 2021, the Company announced a registered public offering of its stock under an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR filed on May 3, 2021. The Company entered into an underwriting agreement with KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. (“KeyBanc”), as representative of the underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 2,500,000 shares of its $0.05 par value common stock to the Underwriters. In addition, the Underwriters were granted an option, exercisable within 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 375,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any, on the same terms and conditions. On May 7, 2021 DMC issued a total of 2,875,000 shares of its common stock, which included the exercise of the over-allotment option, at a market price of $45 for gross proceeds of $129,375. Net proceeds from the offering were $123,461, after deducting underwriter fees and other expenses of $5,914. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions. Pending use of the proceeds as described, we invested the proceeds of the offering in highly liquid marketable securities, including commercial paper and U.S. Treasury securities. Please see discussion of our marketable securities in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
These measures enabled us to improve our net cash position from $42,659 at December 31, 2020 to $181,294 at June 30, 2021, maintain our fully undrawn and available $50,000 revolving credit facility, and repay our capital expenditure term loan in full.
We believe that cash and cash equivalents and market securities on hand, cash flow from operations, funds available under our current credit facilities and any future replacement thereof, and potential proceeds from our at-the-market offering, will be sufficient to fund the working capital, debt service, if applicable, and other capital expenditure requirements of our current business operations for the foreseeable future. We may also execute capital markets transactions to raise additional funds if we believe market conditions are favorable. Nevertheless, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations will depend upon our success in executing our strategies. If we are unable to (i) realize sales from our backlog; (ii) secure new customer orders; (iii) continue selling products at profitable margins; and (iv) continue to implement cost-effective internal processes, our ability to meet cash requirements through operating activities could be impacted. Furthermore, any restriction on the availability of borrowings under our credit facilities could negatively affect our ability to meet future cash requirements. We will continue to monitor the continuing unprecedented financial and market conditions, including the impacts COVID-19 will have on credit availability and capital markets. We also continue to pursue potential acquisitions; the completion of any acquisition may significantly increase our capital requirements.
Debt facilities
As of June 30, 2021 we had no outstanding borrowings under our credit facility. On March 8, 2018, we entered into a five-year $75,000 credit facility which replaced in its entirety our prior syndicated credit facility entered into on February 23, 2015. The credit facility allows for revolving loans of up to $50,000 with a $20,000 US dollar equivalent sublimit for alternative currency loans. In addition, the agreement provides for a $25,000 Capex Facility which was used to assist in financing our DynaEnergetics manufacturing expansion project in Blum, Texas. At the end of year one, the Capex Facility converted to a term loan which was amortizable at 12.5% of principal per year with a balloon payment for the outstanding balance upon the credit facility maturity date in 2023. In February 2021, we repaid the outstanding Capex Facility balance of $11,750.
The facility has a $100,000 accordion feature to increase the commitments under the revolving loan class and/or to add a term loan subject to approval by applicable lenders. We entered into the credit facility with a syndicate of three banks, with KeyBank, N.A. acting as administrative agent. The syndicated credit facility is secured by the assets of DMC including accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets, as well as guarantees and share pledges by DMC and its subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the $50,000 revolving loan can be in the form of one-, two-, three-, or six-month LIBOR loans. Additionally, US dollar borrowings on the revolving loan can be in the form of Base Rate loans (Base Rate borrowings are based on the greater of the administrative agent’s Prime rates, an adjusted Federal Funds rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate). LIBOR loans bear interest at the applicable LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.50% to 3.00%). Base Rate loans bear interest at the defined Base rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.50% to 2.00%).
Borrowings under the $20,000 Alternate Currency sublimit can be in euros, Canadian dollars, pounds sterling, and in any other currency acceptable to the administrative agent. Alternative currency borrowings denominated in euros, pounds sterling, and any other currency that is dealt with on the London Interbank Deposit Market shall be comprised of LIBOR loans and bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.50% to 3.00%).
On June 25, 2020, we entered into an amendment ("Amendment") to the credit facility. The Amendment set the minimum LIBOR at 0.75%. The other provisions of the Amendment, including waiver of the debt service coverage ratio, were applicable through the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and were no longer applicable beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
As of June 30, 2021 our available borrowing capacity was $50,000. Future borrowings are subject to compliance with financial covenants that could significantly limit such availability.
As of June 30, 2021, there were two significant financial covenants under our credit facility, a debt-to-EBITDA leverage ratio (“leverage ratio”) and a minimum liquidity ratio. The leverage ratio is defined in the credit facility for any trailing four quarter period as the ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the agreement) on the last day of such period to Consolidated Pro Forma EBITDA for such period. For the June 30, 2021 reporting period, the maximum leverage ratio permitted by our syndicated credit facility was 3.00 to 1.0. The actual leverage ratio as of June 30, 2021, calculated in accordance with the credit facility, as amended, was 0.0 to 1.0.
The debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the credit facility, means, for any period, the ratio of Consolidated Pro Forma EBITDA less the sum of cash dividends, cash income taxes and Consolidated Unfunded Capital Expenditures (as defined in the agreement) to Debt Service Charges (as defined in the agreement). The minimum debt service coverage ratio permitted by our credit facility for the June 30, 2020 reporting period is 1.35 to 1.0. The actual debt service coverage ratio for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2020 was 4.8 to 1.0.
Our credit facility, as amended, also includes various other covenants and restrictions, certain of which relate to the payment of dividends or other distributions to stockholders, redemption of capital stock, incurrence of additional indebtedness, and mortgaging and pledging or disposition of major assets. As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.
We also maintain a line of credit with a German bank for certain European operations. This line of credit provides a borrowing capacity of €7,000.
Other contractual obligations and commitments
Our long-term debt balance decreased to $0 at June 30, 2021 from $8,139 at December 31, 2020. Our other contractual obligations and commitments have not materially changed since December 31, 2020.
Cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $6,021 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $11,128 in the same period last year. The decrease primarily was due to an increase in cash used for working capital, which included higher accounts receivable, higher inventory build in anticipation of increased sales activity in the second half of 2021 and higher prepaid expenses and other assets related to payments to fund our Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan and other prepaid service contracts. The increases in working capital were partially offset by higher accounts payable and accrued expenses resulting from increased purchasing activity.
Cash flows used in investing activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $121,433 primarily related to investment in marketable securities of $123,984, made with the proceeds from our May 2021 equity offering, and acquisitions of property, plant and equipment partially offset by proceeds from maturities of marketable securities of $4,799 from U.S. treasuries that were converted to cash upon maturity. Net cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $7,462 and related to the acquisitions of property, plant and equipment at DynaEnergetics.
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $134,775 included net proceeds from our equity offering of $123,461 and our ATM equity program of $25,262 partially offset by repayment in full of the Capex Facility of $11,750 and treasury stock purchases of $2,451. Net cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $6,200 was due to dividend payments, treasury stock purchases, and repayments on the Capex Facility.
Payment of Dividends
We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share in the first quarter of 2020. In April 2020, we suspended the quarterly dividend indefinitely due to the uncertain economic outlook caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Future dividends may be affected by, among other items, our views on potential future capital requirements, future business prospects, debt covenant compliance considerations, changes in income tax laws, and any other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant. Any determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
