NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts in thousands except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of SED International Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SED International, Inc. (“SED International”), SED International de Colombia S.A.S., and Intermaco S.R.L., (collectively, “SED” or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, or any other interim period. The June 30, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in SED’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (“Annual Report”).
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto, including Risk Factors, included in the SED’s Annual Report, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 13, 2012.
2. Earnings (loss) per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.
Diluted loss per common share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 does not include the dilutive effects of options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock and the dilutive effect of 111,944 shares of nonvested restricted stock due to their anti-dilutive effects. Included in the diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 were the dilutive effects of options to purchase 57,500 shares of common stock and the dilutive effect of 52,069 shares of nonvested restricted stock.
Components of basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

3. Acquisition
In August 2011, SED purchased certain assets including finished goods inventories, customer and supplier lists, and intellectual property of ArchBrook Laguna LLC (“ABL”), primarily those related to its subsidiary, Lehrhoff & Co., Inc. (“Lehrhoff”), a distributor of small appliances, housewares, personal care products, and consumer electronics. Under the terms of the agreement, SED acquired the net assets for a purchase price of approximately $4.1 million in cash. SED has also employed certain personnel of Lehrhoff. For fiscal 2012, the estimated fair value of the acquired assets of $5.4 million exceeded the $4.1 million paid by SED, resulting in a gain of $1.3 million, of which $1 million was recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
4. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions or other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, and is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). SED’s other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of changes in SED’s foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in fair value of an interest rate swap contract, including income taxes attributable to those changes.
The deferred income tax asset related to the accumulated other comprehensive loss was fully offset by a valuation allowance as of the beginning and end of the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and, therefore, the comprehensive income (loss) for these periods had no income tax effect.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss included in shareholders’ equity totaled $3.2 million at December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, and consisted of foreign currency translation adjustments of $3.1 million and $3 million, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to the interest rate swap contract.
5. Segment Reporting
SED operates in one business segment as a wholesale distributor of microcomputer, consumer electronics, and small appliance products. SED operates in two geographic regions, the United States and Latin America/Caribbean (combined as one in the table below). Sales of products between SED's geographic regions are made at market prices and are eliminated in consolidation. All corporate overhead is included in the results of U.S. operations.

6. Shareholders’ Equity
Incentive Compensation Plans — In December 2009, shareholders approved SED’s 2009 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2009 Plan”). Under the 2009 Plan, an initial 250,000 shares of common stock are available for awards. On December 5, 2012, the shareholders approved an additional 500,000 shares of common stock bringing the total cumulative total available for awards to 750,000. Awards under the 2009 Plan may take the form of stock options (either incentive stock options or non-qualified options), restricted stock, or restricted stock units. As of December 31, 2012, there were 415,131 awards available for future grants.
8 |
Stock Options — At December 31, 2012, stock options for 200,000 shares were outstanding and 20,000 were exercisable with an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $48,000. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, 50,000 shares were exercised on cash-less basis which resulted in the issuance of 35,333 shares of our common stock. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, stock options for 102,500 shares were exercised on cash-less basis which resulted in the issuance of 40,302 shares of our common stock.
Restricted Stock — SED established the 2007 Restricted Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”) during fiscal 2008. A total of 750,000 shares of SED’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock were reserved for grants under the 2007 Plan. Generally, the awards are subject to forfeiture prior to vesting and vest in equal amounts on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date; provided, however, that at the time of vesting the holder is an employee of SED. At December 31, 2012, all shares were vested under the 2007 Plan. The value of restricted stock awards is determined using the market price of SED’s common stock on the grant date.
Non-employee director base compensation includes a per annum payment of $35,000 of restricted shares of common stock which shall be paid quarterly. The number of shares to be issued to the Directors will be determined on the last day of each quarter based upon the market price of SED’s common stock as of that date. These restricted shares of common stock vest on the date of issuance. During the six months ended December 31, 2012, SED issued 27,025 restricted shares of common stock to the non-employee directors. Effective August 2012, the Chairman of the Board was elected Executive Chairman and as such, will no longer be a non-employee director and will receive a salary rather than an annual fee and restricted stock. In connection with his election, the Board awarded the Executive Chairman options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $2.15 per share and subject to vesting in five equal installments beginning on August 29, 2012 and on each of next four anniversaries, provided he is a director on each anniversary date. These options were awarded from the 2009 Plan.
Effective October 15, 2012, the Board awarded to Mr. Robert O’Malley, president and chief executive officer of the Company as of that date: (a) options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $1.85 per share and vesting in three annual tranches and (b) 100,000 shares of restricted Common Stock were issued from the Company’s treasury stock with an original cost basis of $0.8 million, both of which are subject to vesting upon achievement of specified performance targets. The performance criteria for purposes of the vesting of each option tranche and the vesting of the restricted common stock will be based on the achievement of specified net income per share targets in excess of that achieved in fiscal 2012 and the achievement of specified Return On Invested Capital (“ROIC”) ranging from an ROIC of 10% to an ROIC of 20%.
Nonvested restricted stock activity is as follows:

Share-based Compensation Expense — During the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, share-based compensation expense was approximately $40,000 and $0.1 million, respectively. Share-based compensation expense was $0.1 and $0.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2012, there was approximately $0.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards which SED expects to be recognized over the next 32 months. SED expects to incur approximately $.1 million of expense over the next 44 months for all unvested stock options outstanding at December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, no stock-based compensation has been recognized on the performance based stock options and restricted stock awards.
7. Credit Facility and Bank Debt
SED currently maintains credit facilities with Wells Fargo Bank (USA) and with three banks in Colombia for SED’s Colombian subsidiary. Total borrowings under SED’s credit facilities were $46.3 million at December 31, 2012 and $36.9 million at June 30, 2012.
The Wells Fargo credit agreement, as amended (“Agreement”), provides for borrowings which are collateralized by SED’s U.S. accounts receivable, inventories, and other domestic assets. The Agreement allows borrowings up to $60 million and expires in January 2015. The Agreement may be increased to $75 million in $5 million increments at SED’s discretion if certain criteria are met.

Borrowings under the Agreement accrue interest based upon one of two interest rate options depending upon the computation of availability as defined in the Agreement. These interest rate options are (a) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25%, or (b) the prime rate. SED is required to pay a commitment fee of .25% on the unused portion of the facility and pay interest and the commitment fee on a monthly basis.
The Agreement also contains certain covenants which, among other things, require that SED maintain unused availability of not less than $5 million during the term of the Agreement before SED is permitted to make advances to SED’s Latin American subsidiaries. SED’s advances to its Latin American subsidiaries are limited to $2 million under the Agreement. The Agreement also requires that if SED’s unused availability is less than 10% of the formula borrowing base ($5.7 million at December 31, 2012) at any time during the term of the Agreement, then maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio is required. SED’s availability did not fall below this requirement at any time. Dividend payments are limited to $0.5 million under the Agreement. There is a $3 million stock buy-back limit permitted under the Agreement and, at December 31, 2012, SED has repurchased approximately $1.8 million worth of its stock and has approximately $1.2 remaining for future purchases. As of December 31, 2012, SED determined that it was in compliance with the Agreement.
The amount available for borrowings under the Agreement at December 31, 2012 was $16.9 million, after deducting $1.1 million in reserves for outstanding letters of credit.
SED maintained an interest rate swap contract, which expired on January 26, 2013, to reduce the impact of the fluctuations in the interest rates on $15 million notional amount of the revolving credit facility under the Agreement. The contract effectively converted the variable rate to a fixed rate of 2.95%.The fixed rates cited do not include Wells Fargo's markup of 1.75% as of December 31, 2012. SED is currently assessing the possibility of entering into interest rate swap contracts in the future. SED recognized the interest rate swap contract as either assets or liabilities on its balance sheet and measured those instruments at fair value. SED has designated the now expired interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. Accordingly, the gains and losses associated with changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) as the hedge is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the fair value of cash flows of the asset or liability hedged. The fair value, not in SED’s favor, of the interest rate swap was $0.1 million at December 31, 2012 and $0.2 million at June 30, 2012 and is included in accrued and other current liabilities. SED does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
SED’s Colombia subsidiary currently maintains working capital lines of credit at three banks. Each line of credit is short term and maximum availability on each range from $2.5 billion to $6.6 billion pesos, which at December 31, 2012 is approximately $1.4 million to $3.7 million in U.S. dollars, or approximately $8.5 million dollars in the aggregate. At December 31, 2012, SED Colombia’s availability totaled $4.9 million U.S. dollars, after deducting $3.6 million U.S. dollars in reserves for outstanding letters of credit. At June 30, 2012, there were no borrowings on SED Colombia’s credit line facilities. As of December 31, 2012, SED Colombia determined that it was in compliance with the credit facility agreements.
8. Fair Value Measurements
SED determines a fair value measurement based on the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. The fair value measurement guidance established a three level hierarchy making a distinction between market participant assumptions based on (i) unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market (Level 1), (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (Level 2), and (iii) prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (Level 3).
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying amount of debt outstanding pursuant to revolving debt and similar bank credit agreements approximates fair value as interest rates on these instruments approximate current market rates.
SED is exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates, which may affect its operating results and financial position. SED reduces its risks from interest rate fluctuations through the use of an interest rate swap contract (see Note 7). This derivative financial instrument is used to manage risk and is not used for trading or speculative purposes. SED endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring the fair value of the interest rate swap. The interest rate swap is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. SED has determined that its interest rate swap is a Level 2 liability in the fair value hierarchy as it is valued using a discounted cash flow valuation model which includes inputs other than quoted market prices that are both observable and unobservable.

These non-GAAP financial measures, including “Normalized Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted EBITDA” (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization), and “Normalized EPS” (Earnings Per Share) are used by management as key operating metrics for measuring operational performance. These non-GAAP terms, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Normalized Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized EPS are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. The Company believes that items excluded from Normalized Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized EPS are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, operating income and other consolidated earnings data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our profitability. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
Net sales.Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $156.3 million, an increase of $5.4 million, or 3.6%, compared with $150.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Net sales increased from our previous quarter in Fiscal 2013 by 23.7%, or $29.9 million, compared to $126.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Net sales for the current quarter were driven by increased demand in the consumer product categories which include tablets, notebooks, and television products.
Comparative revenues by SED geography are summarized below (dollar amounts in thousands):
Three Months Ended December 31, | Change | |||||||||||||||
2012 | 2011 | Amount | Percent | |||||||||||||
United States: | ||||||||||||||||
Domestic | $ | 100,270 | $ | 97,448 | $ | 2,822 | 2.9 | % | ||||||||
Export | 21,553 | 19,922 | 1,631 | 8.2 | % | |||||||||||

Consolidated | $ | 156,340 | $ | 150,925 | $ | 5,415 | 3.6 | % |
Domestic revenues were $100.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012, a 2.9% increase, compared with $97.4 million for the same period in 2011. The net increase in domestic revenue is attributable to unit sale increases in our e-commerce customer base during the period. Export revenues were $21.6 million and $20 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing an increase of 8.2%. Latin America sales were $34.5 million and $33.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of 2.9%. The Latin America sales were unchanged once adjusted for currency fluctuations.
13 |
Microcomputer product sales were $135.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012, an increase of 8% over similar product sales of $125.7 million reported for the same period in 2011. The increase in the microcomputer product sales were primarily attributable to increased demand in our tablets, notebooks, hard drives, and software product categories. Part of the increase in microcomputer product sales were attributable to the launch of Windows 8 which drove demand in new software as well as Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems. Sales of microcomputer products represented approximately 86.9% of SED’s second quarter net sales compared to 83.3% for the comparable period in 2011.
Consumer electronics sales, all of which were in the U.S., for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $11.7 million, a decrease of 28.2%, compared to $16.3 million for the comparable period in 2011. Sales of consumer electronics products accounted for approximately 7.5% of SED’s second quarter net sales compared to 10.8% for the comparable period in 2011. This decrease was from a decline in the sales of televisions predominantly caused by both price drops and fewer units sold as industry demand for this product category decreases.
Small appliance and housewares sales, all of which were in the U.S., for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $8.8 million, a decrease of 1.1%, compared to $8.9 million in the same period in 2011. The sales in small appliances are primarily related to the product categories acquired from ArchBrook Laguna LLC (“ABL”). Sales of small appliances and housewares accounted for approximately 5.6% of net sales for the second quarter compared to 5.9% for the comparable period in 2011.
Gross Profit Margins.Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $8.0 million, a decrease of $5.6 million, or 41.5%, compared with $13.6 million for the same period in 2011. Gross profit was lower in the current quarter compared to the same period in 2011 due to the higher than normal sales prices on hard drives a year ago. The higher sales prices last year were driven by supply constraints resulting from interrupted production of hard drives in flooded areas in Thailand. SED continues to monitor and add product lines which will improve SED’s overall margin percentages. Margins in our small appliance and housewares product lines as well as SED’s foreign subsidiaries continue to have a positive impact. Argentine government import restrictions continue to constrain inventory supply which has had a positive impact on product margins.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.Selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of 8.5% compared with $8.9 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease is attributable to personnel related reductions and other operating expense controls.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Capital expenditures during the quarter were associated with the move of SED’s distribution center located in the City of Industry, California.
Foreign Currency Transaction.SED has U.S. dollar denominated liabilities recorded in its subsidiaries in Argentina and Colombia to meet certain vendor payment requirements. The revaluation/devaluation of the peso in Colombia and Argentina versus the U.S. dollar resulted in a net foreign currency transaction income totaling $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to expense of $0.3 million for the same period in 2011.
Restructuring-related costs.SED recognized restructuring costs of approximately $0.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012. The costs were attributable to organizational restructuring of the management team including severance payments, change in organizational alignment of sales, product and marketing, and information technology outsourcing. These initiatives implemented during the current quarter are expected to benefit future periods.
Operating Loss.For the three months ended December 31, 2012, SED reported operating loss of $1.1 million compared with operating income of $4.3 million for the comparable period in 2011. The change in operating income from the prior year period was due to the current quarter restructuring costs of approximately $0.8 million and the higher than normal margins on hard drives recorded in the prior year period.
Interest Expense.Interest expense, net of interest income, was $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $0.4 million for the same period a year ago.
Provision for Income Taxes.Income tax expense was $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $0.1 million for the same period last year. The provision is primarily attributed to income generated by SED’s Latin American subsidiaries as SED in the U.S. has the benefit of a tax loss carryforward for Federal and all but two state tax jurisdictions.
14 |
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount which would result from applying the statutory Federal income tax rate due to: (a) taxes imposed on the foreign subsidiaries and (b) the anticipated changes in the valuation allowance for the year. At December 31, 2012, SED has a total net operating loss carry forward for Federal tax purposes of approximately $62.2 million and for state tax purposes of approximately $52.5 million, expiring at various dates through 2029. SED has recorded valuation allowances principally for all deferred tax assets, except for those relating to Intermaco S.R.L. (Intermaco) and SED International de Colombia S.A.S. (SED Colombia), as at this time it is not considered more likely than not that these assets will be realized. SED continues to monitor this assertion quarterly.
Net Loss. SED’s net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $1.6 million compared with a net income of $3.8 million in the same period last year. The net loss in the three months ended December 31, 2012, included restructuring related costs of approximately $0.8 million. The net income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to higher margins generated from the sale of hard drives due to inventory constraints from the suppliers in Thailand.
Normalized Non-GAAP Net Loss. SED recognized a normalized non-GAAP net loss of $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to a normalized non-GAAP net income of $3.9 million for the same period last year. The primary adjustment in calculating normalized net loss is attributable to the restructuring related costs as mentioned above. These costs were related to the organizational restructuring of the management team including severance payments, change in organizational alignment of sales, product and marketing, and information technology outsourcing. These initiatives implemented during the current quarter are expected to benefit future periods.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
Net sales.Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2012 were $282.7 million, a decrease of $24.1 million, or 7.8%, compared with $306.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011.

Domestic revenues were $176 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012, an 8.4% decrease, compared with $192.1 million for the same period in 2011. The net decrease in domestic revenue is attributable to unit sale decreases in hard drives, PCs, notebooks, servers, and televisions which reflect similar declines within the microcomputer industry. Export revenues were $41.6 million and $46.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, a 10.8% decrease. Latin America sales were $65.1 million and $68 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, a decrease of 4.2% due to supply shortages in Argentina caused by Argentine government restrictions and less demand in Colombia. The Latin America sales decrease was 4.8% currency adjusted.
Microcomputer product sales were $244.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of 7.9%, over similar product sales of $265.9 million reported for the same period in 2011. The decreases in the microcomputer product sales were primarily attributable to lower sales in the notebook, hard drives, and software product categories. Sales of microcomputer products represented approximately 86.7% of SED’s net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Consumer electronics sales, all of which were in the U.S., for the six months ended December 31, 2012 were $21.9 million, a decrease of 28.2%, compared to $30.5 million for the comparable period in 2011. Sales of consumer electronics products accounted for approximately 7.7% of SED’s net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to 9.9% for the comparable period in 2011. This decrease was from a decline in the sales of televisions predominantly caused by price declines and less units sold.
Small appliance and housewares sales, all of which were in the U.S., for the six months ended December 31, 2012 were $15.9 million, an increase of 52.9%, compared to $10.4 million in the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily due to the additional Lehrhoff product categories acquired from ABL. Sales of small appliances and housewares accounted for approximately 5.6% of net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to 3.4% for the comparable period in 2011.

Gross Profit Margins.Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $15.0 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 29.1%, compared with $21.2 million for the same period in 2011. Gross profit was lower in the current quarter compared to margins a year ago due to a higher than normal sales prices on hard drives. The higher margins last year were driven by supply constraints resulting from interrupted production of hard drives in flooded areas in Thailand. SED continues to monitor and add product lines which will improve SED’s overall margin percentages. Margins in our small appliance and housewares product lines as well as SED’s foreign subsidiaries continue to have a positive impact. Argentine government import restrictions continue to constrain inventory supply which drives up the prices of product.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.Selling, general and administrative expenses were $16.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of 4.2% compared with $16.8 million for the same period in 2011. Certain initiatives such as IT outsourcing, labor reductions, and operating efficiencies implemented during the six months ended December 31, 2012 will benefit future periods.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $0.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in depreciation is attributable to SED’s distribution center moves in Georgia, New Jersey, and California.
Foreign Currency Transaction.SED has U.S. dollar denominated liabilities recorded in its subsidiaries in Argentina and Colombia to meet certain vendor payment requirements. The revaluation/devaluation of the peso in Colombia and Argentina versus the U.S. dollar resulted in a net foreign currency transaction expense totaling $8,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to expense of $1.0 million for the same period in 2011.
Restructuring-related costs.SED recognized restructuring costs of approximately $1.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012. The costs were attributable organizational restructuring of the management team including severance payments, change in the organizational alignment of sales, product and marketing, and informational technology outsourcing. The initiatives implemented during the six months ended December 31, 2012 is expected to benefit future periods.
Acquisition-related cost.There were no acquisition costs in the six months ended December 31, 2012. Acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition of the Lehrhoff assets from ABL (the “Lehrhoff Assets”) for the six months ended December 31, 2011 were approximately $0.4 million and consisted primarily of professional and legal fees associated with the transaction.
Operating Loss.For the six months ended December 31, 2012, SED reported operating loss of $2.7 million compared with operating income of $2.7 million for the comparable period in 2011. The loss reported during the current quarter is partially attributable to the restructuring severance expense recognized during the quarter. SED continues to focus on increasing sales while reducing recurring operating expenses.
Gain from Acquisition.There was no gain from acquisition in the six months ended December 31, 2012. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we acquired certain items including finished goods inventories, customer and supplier lists, and intellectual property of Lehrhoff. For fiscal 2012, the estimated fair value of the acquired assets of $5.4 million exceeded the $4.1 million cash consideration paid resulting in a bargain purchase gain of $1.3 million of which $1 million was recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2011.
Interest Expense.Interest expense, net of interest income, was $0.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $0.7 million for the same period a year ago.
Provision for Income Taxes.Income tax expense was $0.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to income tax expense of $0.1 million for the same period last year. The provision is primarily attributed to income generated by SED’s Latin American subsidiaries as SED in the U.S. has the benefit of a tax loss carryforward for Federal and all but two state tax jurisdictions.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount which would result from applying the statutory Federal income tax rate due to: (a) taxes imposed on the foreign subsidiaries and (b) the anticipated changes in the valuation allowance for the year. At December 31, 2012, SED has a total net operating loss carry forward for Federal tax purposes of approximately $62.2 million and for state tax purposes of approximately $52.5 million, expiring at various dates through 2029. SED has recorded valuation allowances principally for all deferred tax assets, except for those relating to Intermaco S.R.L. (Intermaco) and SED International de Colombia S.A.S. (SED Colombia), as at this time it is not considered more likely than not that these assets will be realized. SED continues to monitor this assertion quarterly.

Net Loss. SED’s net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $3.7 million, compared with a net income of $2.9 million in the same period last year. The net loss in the six months ended December 31, 2012, included restructuring related costs of approximately $1.1 million. The net income for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to higher margins generated from the sales of hard drives due to inventory constraints from the suppliers in Thailand.
Normalized Non-GAAP Net Loss. SED recognized a normalized non-GAAP net loss of $2.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to a normalized non-GAAP net income of $3.5 million for the same period last year. The primary adjustment in calculating normalized net loss is attributable to the restructuring related costs as mentioned above. These costs were related to the organizational restructuring of the management team including severance payments, change in organizational alignment of sales, product and marketing, and information technology outsourcing. These initiatives implemented during the current quarter are expected to benefit future periods.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.An allowance for doubtful accounts has been established based on collection experience and an assessment of the collectability of specific accounts. Management evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. Initially, management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable based on historical collections experience. This initial estimate is periodically adjusted when management becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filing) or as a result of changes in the overall aging of accounts receivable. The overall determination of the allowance also considers credit insurance coverage and deductibles, which SED has maintained from time to time. SED maintains credit insurance, which protects the Company from credit losses exceeding certain deductibles for certain domestic sales and certain export shipments from the United States. SED maintains credit insurance in many Latin American countries (subject to certain terms and conditions).
Inventories — Slow Moving, Obsolescence, and Lower of Cost or Market.Certain SED vendors allow for either return of goods within a specified period (usually 45-90 days) or for credits related to price protection. However, for other vendor relationships and inventories, SED is not protected by vendors from the risk of inventory loss. Therefore, in determining the net realizable value of inventories, the Company identifies slow moving or obsolete inventories that (1) are not protected by vendor agreements from risk of loss, and (2) are not eligible for return under various vendor return programs. Based upon these factors, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories and records any necessary adjustments as a charge to cost of sales. If inventory return privileges were discontinued in the future, or if vendors were unable to honor the provisions of certain contracts, which protect SED from inventory losses, including price protections, the risk of loss associated with obsolete, slow moving or impaired inventories would increase.
Revenue Recognition.Revenue is recognized once four criteria are met: (1) SED must have persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery must occur, which generally happens at the point of shipment (this includes the transfer of both title and risk of loss, provided that no significant obligations remain which is usually the case); (3) the price must be fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability must be reasonably assured. Shipping revenue is included in net sales while the related costs, including shipping and handling costs, are included in the cost of sales. SED allows its customers to return product for exchange or credit subject to certain limitations. A provision for such returns is recorded based upon historical experience.
Financial Instruments. SED’s principal financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and revolving credit facilities. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximate fair value based upon the short-term nature of the instruments, and the variable rates on credit facilities.
The functional currency for SED’s international subsidiaries is the local currency of the country in which the subsidiaries own their primary assets. The translation of the applicable currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Any related translation adjustments are recorded directly to stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). It is SED’s policy not to enter into derivative contracts for speculative trading purposes. SED conducts business in countries outside of the United States, which exposes SED to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. SED may enter into short-term forward exchange or option contracts to reduce this risk. At December 31, 2012, SED held approximately $9.0 million of short-term forward exchange contracts, which mature over the next quarter. The fair value of these contracts is recorded in accrued and other current liabilities.
SED’s revolving credit facility is currently a variable rate facility. SED maintained an interest rate swap contract, which expired on January 26, 2013, to reduce the impact of the fluctuations in the interest rate on $15 million notional amount of the obligation under its revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo. SED is currently reviewing possibly entering into interest swap rate contracts in the future.
17 |
Inflation and Price Levels.Inflation has not had a significant impact on SED’s overall business because of the typically decreasing costs of products sold by SED and the fact that we also receive price protection from vendors for a significant portion of our inventory. In the event a vendor or competitor reduces its prices for goods purchased by SED prior to SED’s sale of such goods, we generally have been able either to receive a credit from the vendor for the price differential or to return the goods to the vendor for credit.
Argentina and Colombia have experienced high rates of inflation and hyperinflation from time to time in the past. SED has experienced higher operating costs related to government mandated wage increases in those countries. At this time, management believes that inflation may have a material impact on SED’s Latin American business operations in the immediate future.
Net Operating Tax Loss Carry Forwards.SED has accumulated net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $62.2 million and for state tax purposes of approximately $52.5 million, which expire in fiscal years 2019 through 2029. These losses are available to offset taxable income generated through those dates. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income during the periods in which these carryforwards may be utilized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2012, SED had cash and cash equivalents totaling $12.5 million, an increase of $7.8 million, from $4.7 million at June 30, 2012. The increase in the cash balance was primarily due to the deposit of $7.3 million in cash on the final day of the period that has since been used to pay down the net borrowings of the Company. Consolidated net borrowings under the SED’s credit facilities increased to $46.3 million at December 31, 2012 (before the $7.3 million deposit mentioned above), compared to $36.9 million at June 30, 2012. Working capital at December 31, 2012 was approximately $16.6 million. SED has financed its liquidity needs largely through internally generated funds, credit facilities, and vendor lines of credit. SED’s principal source of liquidity is its cash, cash equivalents, trade receivables, inventories and amounts available under its lines of credit with vendors and its bank revolving credit facilities. At December 31, 2012, SED’s global availability under its bank credit facilities was approximately $21.8 million, after deducting $4.7 million in reserves for outstanding letters of credit.
Cash used in operating activities was $0.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $13.0 million as compared to approximately $12.2 million provided by operating activities for the same period last year. The $13.0 million difference in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to decreases in inventories during the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2012. Changes in operating assets and liabilities during the six months ended December 31, 2012 are as follows:
Net trade receivables were $64.6 million at December 31, 2012 and $54 million at June 30, 2012. Average day’s sales outstanding for the quarter were approximately 34 days at December 31, 2012 and 38 days at December 31, 2011. A shorter cash cycle on certain large volume customers helped to achieve the decrease in days sales outstanding.
Inventories decreased $0.2 million to $61.6 million at December 31, 2012 from $61.8 million at June 30, 2012. Inventory turns for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were approximately 10.3 and 8.8, respectively.
Other current assets decreased to $7.4 million at December 31, 2012 from $8.1 million at June 30, 2012.
Trade accounts payable increased by $11 million to $74.1 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $63.1 million at June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in purchases to accommodate the related increase in net sales for the current quarter.
Accrued and other current liabilities increased to $9.5 million at December 31, 2012 from $8.7 million as of June 30, 2012.
SED’s cash flows are affected by changes in exchange rates in Argentina and Colombia. Exchange rate changes had the effect of providing $50,000 in cash for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to using $0.2 million in cash for the same period last year.
SED maintained an interest rate swap contract to reduce the impact of fluctuations in the interest rates on $15 million notional amount of the revolving credit facility under the Wells Fargo Agreement which expired on January 26, 2013. The fair value, not in SED’s favor, of the interest rate swap was $0.1 million and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is included in accrued and other current liabilities. SED does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
18 |
While SED has historically derived a material portion of its operating income and cash flows from its foreign subsidiaries, management believes that if there were to be deteriorating economic conditions in Argentina or Colombia or a devaluation of the peso in either country it may have a negative effect on our foreign subsidiaries’ net income and the ability to generate cash flows from operations. The movement of cash from SED’s foreign subsidiaries may be restricted at times due to governmental restrictions, domestic banking agreements, international monetary restrictions, and other restrictions from time to time, therefore movement of cash may be uncertain. Currently there are no such restrictions.
The domestic and global economic downturn created several risks relating to SED’s financial results, operations and prospects. SED has experienced a rapid decline in demand for the products it sells resulting in a more competitive environment and increased pressure to reduce the cost of operations. The benefits from cost reductions will take longer to fully realize and may not fully mitigate the impact of the reduced demand. The recent economic downturn may also result in changes in vendor terms and conditions, such as rebates, cash discounts and cooperative marketing efforts, which may result in further downward pressure on SED’s sales andgross margins. Deterioration in the financial and credit markets heightens the risk of customer bankruptcies and delays in payment. Deterioration in the credit markets in Latin America and the United States have resulted in reduced availability of credit insurance to cover customer accounts. This has resulted in a reduction of the credit lines SED provides to its customers, thereby having a negative impact on its sales. Also, volatile foreign currency exchange rates increase SED’s risk related to products purchased in a currency other than the currency in which those products are sold. The realization of any or all of these risks would likely have a significant adverse effect on SED’s future financial results.
Historically, SED has financed its liquidity needs largely through internally generated funds, borrowings under the Wells Fargo credit facility, subsidiary bank credit agreements, and vendor lines of credit. There can be no assurance that any or all of the aforementioned sources of capital will be available to SED when needed. For example, SED’s creditors may tighten their lending standards and SED may find it necessary to tighten credit availability standards to its customers due to the general weakening of the economic environment. However, SED believes that funds generated from operations, together with its Wells Fargo credit facility, subsidiary bank credit agreements, vendor credit lines, and current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to support its working capital and liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months.
