Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

Servotronics, Inc. (“Servotronics”) and its subsidiaries (“Company”) design, manufacture and market servo-control components and other advanced technology products for aerospace, military and medical applications. The Company was incorporated in New York in 1959. In 1972, the Company was merged into a wholly owned subsidiary organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, thereby changing the Company’s state of incorporation from New York to Delaware. The Company’s shares currently trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE American) under the symbol SVT.

 

Until 2023, the Company had operated historically under two business segments: Advanced Technology Group (“ATG”) and Consumer Products Group (“CPG”), which had been strategic business segments that offered different products and services. Operations in ATG included the design, manufacturing and marketing of servo-control components and other advanced technology products, and the CPG operations included the design, manufacture and marketing of a variety of cutlery products for use by consumers and government agencies. During 2023, the Company’s Management made the strategic decision to sell certain assets of The Ontario Knife Company (“OKC”) and divest the CPG business segment. This divestiture represented a strategic shift, as the Company has realigned its corporate and management reporting structure to focus solely on servo-control components and other advanced technology products, and now organizes its business in a single reportable segment with no reference to ATG or CPG.  This segment structure reflects the financial information and reports used by Management, specifically the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements currently include the accounts of Servotronics, OKC, and other inactive, wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company derives its primary sales revenue from domestic customers, although a portion of finished products are for foreign end use. As stated, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with a third party to sell certain assets of OKC, which transaction closed on August 1, 2023. Accordingly, the sale of assets and results of operations for OKC are presented as a “Loss from Discontinued Operation, net of tax” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and assets and liabilities are reflected as “Assets and Liabilities related to Discontinued Operation” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The “Loss from Discontinued Operation, net of tax” is included in the net income or net loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, and the cash used by operating activities from the discontinued operation is included in the “Discontinued Operation” section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2023 annual report and the notes thereto.

 

The 2023 financial information included in the aforementioned Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were reclassified to conform with the discontinued operation presentation. Amounts for all periods discussed below reflect the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from the Company’s continuing operations, unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 2 “Discontinued Operation and Assets and Liabilities Related to Discontinued Operation”, for further discussion.

Cash and Restricted Cash

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash to the amounts in the statement of cash flows:

 

  

September 30,

  

December 31,

 

(in thousands)

 

2024

  

2023

 

Cash

 $46  $95 

Restricted cash

  150   150 

Total cash and restricted cash

 $196  $245 

 

The Company considers cash to include all currency and coin owned by the Company as well as all deposits in the bank including checking and savings accounts. The restricted cash of $150,000 as of  September 30, 2024 and  December 31, 2023 represents collateral with a financial institution.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company grants credit to substantially all of its customers and carries its accounts receivable at original invoice amount less an allowance for credit losses. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for credit losses based on history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions.  Collections on previously reserved accounts receivable and write offs of accounts deemed uncollectable, resulted in a reserve decrease of $90,000 during 2024.  The allowance for credit losses was approximately $31,000 as of September 30, 2024 and $121,000 as of December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized at the time of shipment of goods, transfer of title and customer acceptance, as required. Revenue transactions generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer contracted goods. Purchase orders generally include specific terms relative to quantity, item description, specifications, price, customer responsibility for in-process costs, delivery schedule, shipping point, payment and other standard terms and conditions of purchase. Service revenue, principally representing repairs, is recognized at the time of shipment of goods.

 

Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to a customer. The Company determines revenue recognition using the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Revenue excludes taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer (e.g., sales and use taxes). Revenue includes payments for shipping activities that are reimbursed by the customer to the Company.

 

- 9 -

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

Performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with customers, providing a framework for the nature of the distinct goods, services or bundle of goods and services. The timing of satisfying the performance obligation is typically indicated by the terms of the contract. As a significant portion of the Company’s revenue are recognized at the time of shipment, transfer of title and customer acceptance, there is no significant judgment applied to determine the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations or transaction price. Shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer obtains control of the promised goods are considered fulfillment activities.

 

The timing of satisfaction of our performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment. The Company generally receives payment for these contracts within the payment terms negotiated and agreed upon by each customer contract.

 

Warranty and repair obligations are assessed on all returns. Revenue is not recorded on any warranty returns. The Company warrants its products against design, materials and workmanship based on an average of twenty-seven months. The Company determines warranty reserves needed based on actual average costs of warranty units shipped and current facts and circumstances. As of September 30, 2024, and  December 31, 2023 under the guidance of ASC 460, the Company has recorded a warranty reserve of approximately $413,000 and $542,000, respectively. Revenue is recognized on repair returns, covered under a customer contract, at the contractual price upon shipment to the customer.

 

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into geographic regions. The Company determined that disaggregating revenue into this category achieves the objective to portray how the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue from cash flows are affected by different regions. Disaggregation of revenue by geographic region are provided below:

Total Revenue

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with any adjustments reflected as a reduction to finished goods inventory. Cost includes all costs incurred to bring each product to its present location and condition.  Inventory reserves consist of obsolete and/or slow-moving items based on inventory levels in excess of forecasted sales activity and have increased due to the reserve methodologies.  These reserves are applied to the gross value of the inventory and are approximately $735,000 and $627,000 as of  September 30, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, respectively.  Pre-production and start-up costs are expensed as incurred.

 

The purchase of suppliers’ minimum economic quantities of material such as steel, etc. may result in a purchase of quantities exceeding two years of customer requirements. Also, in order to maintain a reasonable and/or agreed to lead time or minimum stocking requirements, certain larger quantities of other product support items may have to be purchased and may result in over one year’s supply. The amounts are not included in the inventory reserve discussed above.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of goods sold.

 

- 10 -

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost; expenditures for new facilities and equipment and expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of existing plant and equipment are capitalized; expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of properties, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any profit or loss on disposition is included in income.

 

Depreciation is provided on the basis of estimated useful lives of depreciable properties, primarily by the straight-line method for financial statement purposes and by accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets accounted for as finance leases. The estimated useful lives of depreciable properties are generally as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements (years)

  5 - 40 

Machinery and equipment (years)

  5 - 20 

Tooling (years)

  3 - 5 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as operating loss and credit carryforwards. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, combined New York, Texas, California and Connecticut state income tax returns, and a separate Arkansas state income tax return.

 

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions and income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties included in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at  September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023, and did not recognize any interest and/or penalties in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits or obligations as of  September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The 2020 through 2023 federal and 2019 through 2023 state tax returns remain subject to examination by the respective taxing authorities.

 

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

 

Income taxes paid amounted to approximately $0 and $2,000 for the nine-month periods ended  September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.  Interest paid during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $209,000 and $98,000 respectively.

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

Contributions to the employee stock ownership plan are determined annually by the Company according to plan formula.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable based on undiscounted future operating cash flow analyses. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal.

 

- 11 -

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

The Company’s strategic decision to sell certain assets of OKC in 2023 resulted in the classification of a discontinued operation and triggered an impairment of OKC’s real property in accordance with ASC 360-10-45-9 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Refer to Note 2, “Discontinued Operation and Assets and Liabilities Related to Discontinued Operation”, for further discussion. No additional impairment of long-lived assets exists as of September 30, 2024, which primarily includes the Company’s tangible real (land and building) and personal (machinery & equipment) properties.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain balances as previously reported were reclassified to classifications adopted in the current period.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risks principally consist of cash accounts in financial institutions. Although the accounts exceed the federally insured deposit amount, management assesses the risk of nonperformance by the financial institutions to be low.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short maturity. Based on variable interest rates and the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans similar to its asset-based line of credit the fair value approximates its carrying amount.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which provides updates to qualitative and quantitative reportable segment disclosure requirements, including enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and increased interim disclosure requirements, among others.  The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2024.

 

There have been no additional new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

Discontinued Operation and Assets and Liabilities Related to Discontinued Operation

 

The Company’s decision to sell certain assets and wind down the operations of OKC met the “held for sale” definition under ASC 205-20-45-9 Discontinued Operations and represented a strategic shift that had a significant impact on the Company’s overall operations and financial results. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of OKC are reflected as “Assets and Liabilities related to Discontinued Operation” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of  September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. In addition, OKC’s operating loss, divestiture costs, and impairment charges on long-lived assets were reclassified to “Loss from Discontinued Operation, net of tax” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (as reclassified).

 

Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company sold inventory, machinery & equipment and intellectual property (patents & trademarks/tradenames) to a third party on August 1, 2023. As a direct result of Management’s decision to sell OKC’s assets, divest the operations, and exit the CPG business segment, the Company incurred impairment charges on its long-lived asset (building) in 2023 based on independent, third-party appraisals (less estimated costs to sell).  No impairment charges were incurred for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024.

 

Operating loss from discontinued operation was approximately $33,000 and $90,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, respectively (compared to $403,000 and $1,893,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as reclassified).  Divestiture and impairment cost changes were approximately $(10,000) and $18,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024(compared to divestiture and impairment cost estimates of $79,000 and $2,306,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as reclassified).  The loss on the sale of assets was $0 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, respectively (compared to a change in purchase price of $96,000 and a loss of $(3,127,000) for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as reclassified).  Therefore, the total Loss from Discontinued Operation, net of tax, is approximately $(43,000) and $(72,000) for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, respectively (compared to a Loss of $(386,000) and $(7,326,000) for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as reclassified).

Indebtedness

 

In 2023, the Company entered into a three-year financing agreement with a financial lending institution for an asset-based line of credit (“Credit Facility”) with a maximum revolving credit of $7,000,000. The borrowing base under the Credit Facility is determined using 85% of eligible domestic and foreign accounts receivable balances, less any other specific reserves. In general terms, ineligible receivables are defined as invoices unpaid over 90 days. The balance outstanding on the Credit Facility is approximately $3,169,000 and $2,103,000 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The interest rate on the Credit Facility is equal to the greater of 8.0% or the prime rate (as defined by JP Morgan Chase) plus 1.0% (9.0% as of September 30, 2024 and 9.5% as of  December 31, 2023). The Credit facility is collateralized by the Company’s non-realty assets.

 

In accordance with ASC 470-10-45-5 Classification of Revolving Credit Agreements Subject to Lock-Box Arrangements and Subjective Acceleration Clauses, borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility that includes both a subjective acceleration clause and requirement to maintain a lock-box arrangement must be considered short-term obligations. As the Credit Facility includes both provisions, the outstanding balances are classified as current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The Credit Facility contains two financial covenants required to be maintained by the Company at the end of each of its fiscal quarters. The Tangible Net Worth covenant requires the Company to maintain tangible net worth not less than $20,000,000. The Working Capital covenant requires the Company to maintain working capital not less than $10,000,000. The Company has met both covenant requirements as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Postretirement Benefit Plan

 

The Company provides certain postretirement health and life insurance benefits for two former executives (“retirees”) of the Company (“Plan”). Upon ceasing employment, the Company pays the annual cost of health insurance coverage and provides continuing life insurance at the same level of coverage at the time of terminating employment with the Company. The Plan also provides a benefit to reimburse the retirees for certain out-of-pocket medical and/or health-related costs. The retirees’ benefits cease upon their death. The Plan is unfunded and the actuarially determined projected postretirement benefit obligation was approximately $4,307,000 and $4,262,000 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Benefit costs for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were $74,000 and $65,000 respectively. Benefit costs for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $220,000 and $195,000, respectively.

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities or any unvested restricted shares of common stock. These unvested restricted shares, although classified as issued and outstanding, are considered forfeitable until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic EPS calculation until the shares are vested. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the number of shares of common stock that would be issued assuming all contingently issuable shares having a dilutive effect on the earnings per share were outstanding for the period. The dilutive effect of unvested restrictive stock is determined using the treasury stock method. However, if the assumed common shares are anti-dilutive, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“Equity Plan”) was approved by the shareholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Equity Plan allows for various types of awards (rights) to be granted, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted awards, performance share awards, cash awards, or any other equity-based awards.  The total number of awards under the Equity Plan are limited to a maximum of 200,000 authorized common shares.

 

The Company’s executive compensation program established by the Board of Directors (Board) determines the type of awards available to the Company’s executives. The program consists of a cash incentive plan and a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) that are awarded annually.  The LTIP includes service-based (restricted) share awards that vest annually over three years, and performance-based (restricted) share awards that cliff-vest based on the achievement of a financial metric over a specified three-year period. 

 

On March 26, 2024, 7,180 service-based shares were granted to Company executives under the 2024-2026 LTIP Stock Award.  Additionally, on January 29, 2024, 1,786 service-based shares were granted in connection with the hiring of an executive officer, and vest after a one-year service period.  On September 18, 2024, 1,905 of the LTIP shares and 1,786 of the shares related to the hiring were forfeited upon the resignation of the executive officer (3,691 total forfeited shares).

 

The Company’s director compensation policy provides that non-employee directors receive a portion of their annual retainer in the form of restricted shares under the Equity Plan.  These shares vest quarterly over a twelve-month service period, have voting rights, and any dividends declared and paid during the restricted period accrue and are paid upon vesting.  The aggregate amount of expense to the Company, measured based on the grant date fair value, is recognized over the requisite service period.  On May 10, 2024, an aggregate of 9,980 restricted shares were issued with a grant date fair value of $125,000. On August 8, 2024, the Board approved the full vesting of 1,996 restricted shares with a grant date fair value of $25,000 due to the death of a Board member, which was expensed during the third quarter.

Included in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is approximately $185,000 and $111,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the service-based share awards. The Company has approximately $262,000 of stock-based compensation expense related to unvested service-based shares to be recognized over the requisite service periods.

 

Restricted, performance-based share awards represent a right to receive a certain number of shares of common stock based on the achievement of corporate performance goals and continued employment during the performance period. Performance-based share awards granted to executives vest at the end of a three-year period and are not issued until the performance period is complete and the metrics are achieved. Vested and issued shares may range from 0% to a maximum of 200% of targeted amounts depending on the achievement of performance measures at the end of a three-year period. The expected cost of the shares is based on the date of grant fair value and the Company’s assessment of the probability that the performance condition will be achieved at target (100%). Any related compensation expense is recognized when the probability is likely that the performance criteria will be achieved. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. These awards may be settled in cash or shares of common stock at the election of the Company on the date of grant. It is the Company’s intent to settle performance-based share awards with shares of common stock.

 

On March 26, 2024, 21,541 performance-based share awards (at target) were granted to Company executives under the 2024-2026 LTIP Stock Award at a grant date fair value of $12.63 per share, of which 5,716 share awards were forfeited on September 18, 2024 upon the resignation of an executive officer. On December 13, 2023, 17,380 performance-based share awards (at target) were granted to Company executives under the 2023-2025 LTIP Stock Award at a grant date fair value of $11.50 per share.

No stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based share awards is included in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, as the probability of achieving the financial metric required for vesting and issuance of the share awards is deemed not probable for the 2023-2025 and 2024-2026 LTIP Awards granted to executives. The maximum potential stock-based compensation expense for the performance-based share awards under the 2023-2025 and 2024-2026 LTIP Stock Awards is approximately $800,000.

Income Taxes

 

The income tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is $0 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 compared to an income tax expense of $0 and approximately $1,063,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, due to the valuation allowance recorded against the net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2024 and 2023. The valuation allowance was initially recorded during the second quarter of 2023 based on management’s determination that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the net deferred tax assets in the future.

 

The effective tax rate for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 is 0%, compared to an effective tax rate of 0% and (10.4%) for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The difference between the statutory rate of 21% and the effective tax rate expense of 0% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 is due to the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets (net) as of September 30, 2024.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the course of its business, the Company is subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits that are inherently subject to many uncertainties regarding the possibility of a loss to the Company. Because litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable, the Company’s evaluation of legal proceedings often involves a series of complex assessments by Management, after consulting with legal counsel, about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company carries liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles and policy limits, for such claims as they arise and may from time to time establish reserves for litigation that is considered probable of a loss. The Company does not accrue liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote.

 

During 2023, the Company entered into discussions with a particular customer regarding product liability costs and customer damages (“claim”) resulting from non-conforming product shipped to the customer in prior years. Prior to 2023, the Company considered the risk of loss to be remote, however, the claim was received from the customer and submitted to the Company’s insurance carrier in 2024.  The insurance carrier determined the claim was covered by insurance for approximately $1,000,000 and proceeds were received during the second quarter. The claim liability of approximately $1,000,000 included in accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2024, was paid to the customer in July 2024, and the claim was settled.

 

On December 21, 2021, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer ("Former CEO") delivered his Notice of Termination and alleged that the Company breached the terms of the Employment Agreement between the Company and the Former CEO by, among others, placing the Former CEO on paid administrative leave in June 2021 pending an internal investigation. On December 22, 2021, the Board of Directors accepted the Former CEO's resignation from the Company but rejected his request to treat his resignation as resignation for good reason under Paragraph 10 of his Employment Agreement. The Board also determined, based on the findings of its investigation, that the Former CEO committed willful malfeasance in violation of his Employment Agreement, and that such willful malfeasance would have justified termination of employment pursuant to Paragraph 9 of the Employment Agreement, but for his earlier resignation.  The Former CEO claims that he is entitled to a severance payment equal to 2.99 times his average annual compensation as set forth in the Employment Agreement, plus the reimbursement of certain expenses and the value of any lost benefits. In September 2024, mediation efforts between the Company and the Former CEO resulted in a good-faith agreement in principle for settlement of the dispute between the two parties, which is expected to be executed prior to the end of 2024.  The agreement is anticipated to settle all matters previously noted for approximately $570,000.  The settlement agreement does not impact the post-retirement benefits under the employment agreement. As it is probable that a liability will be realizable and the settlement is estimable, a contingent liability of $570,000 has been recorded with respect to this matter as of September 30, 2024.  This legal settlement cost is reflected as a separate component of operating costs for the three- and nine-month periods ended  September 30, 2024.

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

On June 7, 2021, a Summons and Complaint was filed by an employee in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Erie, against Servotronics, Inc., the Servotronics’ Board of Directors, The Ontario Knife Company and Kenneth D. Trbovich (collectively, the “Defendants”). The Complaint alleges certain violations under the New York Human Rights Law by the Defendants relating to the employee’s employment by the Company as well as intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. The Complaint also alleges certain purported derivative causes of action against all Defendants, including breach of fiduciary duties, fraud and corporate waste. The Complaint seeks monetary damages in an amount not less than $5,000,000 with respect to the direct causes of action and equitable relief with respect to the purported derivative causes of action. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint on August 6, 2021. On January 13, 2022, the Defendants' motion to dismiss was granted, in part, and denied, in part. The Company is insured for such matters in the amount of $3 million with a retention of $250,000 for defense costs. During 2023, the Company met the retention amount, so defense costs are covered by insurance. Additionally, there is an excess coverage policy for $3 million that considers the retention payment from the primary insurance policy as the excess $3 million retention. Based on the information known by the Company as of the date of this filing, the Company does not consider the risk of loss to be probable and is unable to reasonably or accurately estimate the likelihood and amount of any liability that may be realized as a result of this litigation. Accordingly, no loss has been recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements related to this litigation. The Company is vigorously defending against this litigation.

 

There are no other legal proceedings currently pending by or against the Company other than litigation incidental to the business which is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or earnings of the Company.

Customer and Supplier Concentration

 

The Company's revenue includes significant concentration from a limited number of customers representing approximately 88% of revenue for both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 compared to 92% and 90% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively. While the Company continues to pursue diversification of its customer base, the loss of, or significant reduction in business from, any of these major customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company routinely assesses its relationships with major customers, including creditworthiness, market conditions, and competitive pressures, to mitigate risks associated with customer concentration. Despite these efforts, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully reduce its dependence on any single customer in the future.

 

The Company relies on a variety of suppliers for the procurement of raw materials, components, and services necessary for its operations. While the Company actively manages its relationships with suppliers and seeks to diversify its supplier base, a disruption in the supply of goods or services from a major supplier could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results.  To mitigate the risks associated with supplier concentration, the Company engages in ongoing efforts to identify alternative sources of supply, assess supplier reliability and performance, and negotiate favorable contractual terms where feasible. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in reducing its dependence on any single supplier or mitigating the impact of supplier-related risks in the future. During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, there were no purchases for products derived from one supplier greater than 10% of total vendor purchases compared to 11% and 10% from one supplier for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Item 2.  Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.

 

The discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to many known and unknown risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this report.

 

Business Overview & Environment

 

We are a strategic partner in the aerospace industry, playing a key role in supporting the growth of commercial airplanes, including narrow body and widebody aircraft and business jets. We have long-term customer contracts resulting from being a trusted partner in safety-critical, high-temperature, and high-vibration environments. Our servo-control components and advanced technology products are sold to commercial aerospace, government, medical, and industrial markets.  Through strong industry partnerships, innovative product offerings, and a commitment to excellence, we aim to maintain our leadership position and capitalize on emerging opportunities in the dynamic commercial aerospace landscape, as well as the other markets.        

 

As disclosed in Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we divested the OKC operations and exited the CPG business segment during 2023. This divestiture represented a strategic shift, and we realigned our corporate and management reporting structure to focus solely on servo-control components and other advanced technology products as a single reportable segment. This segment structure reflects the financial information and reports used by our Management team, specifically the Chief Executive Officer. Therefore, the management discussion and analysis below pertain only to the results of operations of our continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.

 

Commercial Aerospace Market

 

The commercial aerospace market, characterized by its dynamic nature, is witnessing unprecedented growth driven by increased global travel demands. We are deeply involved in providing cutting-edge solutions and components to meet the evolving needs of aerospace manufacturers and operators worldwide. Our strategic focus within this market encompasses developing and supplying advanced materials, components, and systems that enhance aircraft performance, efficiency, and safety.  The commercial aerospace industry’s ability to meet the significant travel demand is currently hindered by supply chain issues as well as ongoing challenges with supply of parts and people constraints. We have been, and continue to be, challenged by these same factors, as noted in our Management Summary.

 

 

Marketing Strategy

 

Our marketing strategy focuses on expanding business in primary markets, such as commercial aviation, while exploring new opportunities in markets like energy and industrials as part of our growth strategy. This approach capitalizes on our technology and expertise in applications for our servo-controls and other advanced technology products, meeting the expanding demands of these sectors.

 

Furthermore, our strategy includes expanding our services in the defense sector, strategically aligning with the increasing demand for modernizing and renewing military fleets. We actively collaborate with Tier 2 Defense Contractors by providing essential components for various defense applications. In doing so, we contribute critical components to military platforms that require the highest levels of precision and reliability.  By expanding our services in the defense sector, we are diversifying our portfolio and reinforcing our commitment to excellence across a wide range of aerospace applications. This balance between our commercial and defense activities positions us to strategically leverage growth opportunities in both areas due to our reputation for delivering unparalleled quality in the most challenging environments.

Revenue

 

Revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 increased by approximately $848,000, or 7.3%, compared to the same period in 2023. This was driven by an increase in volume of approximately $467,000 and price increases of approximately $401,000, partially offset by unfavorable product mix of approximately $(20,000).  Our foreign sales were approximately $3,209,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 compared to $3,652,000 for the same period in 2023, a decrease of approximately $(443,000), or (12.1)%. 

 

Revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 increased by approximately $3,858,000, or 12.3%, compared to the same period in 2023. This was driven by an increase in volume of approximately $2,980,000 and price increases of approximately $1,019,000, partially offset by unfavorable product mix of approximately $(140,000).  Our foreign sales were $8,968,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 compared to $8,763,000 for the same period in 2023, a growth of approximately $205,000, or 2.3%.

 

The significant revenue growth over prior year is reflective of our successful focus on supporting our strong customer demand, notwithstanding reforecasting challenges that began during the third quarter of 2024 and are expected to continue through the remainder of the year.  Our lower foreign sales for the quarter were a function of sales mix, however, our foreign sales for the year to date continue to constitute a substantial part of our overall revenue stream and can be attributed to the amplified demand for our products/services.

 

Gross Profit/Margin

 

Gross profit decreased approximately $231,000, or 9.2%, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023resulting in a gross margin of 18.2% in the 2024 period, compared to a margin of 21.6% for the same period in 2023.

 

Gross profit increased approximately $2,027,000, or 40.2%, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023, resulting in a gross margin of 20.1% in the 2024 period, compared to a margin of 16.1% for the same period in 2023.

 

The gross profit and gross margin for the quarter were negatively impacted by unfavorable product mix and higher overhead costs due to fewer research & development (R&D) project costs when compared to the prior year.  These were partially offset by product liability costs recorded for a specific customer claim in the prior year.  The improvements in gross profit and gross margin for the year were positively impacted by price increases, higher production volumes, and improved labor utilization, when compared to prior year.  These improvements were partially offset by unfavorable product mix and overhead costs resulting from lower R&D project costs in the current year.

 

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A")

 

SG&A expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 of approximately $1,979,000 decreased $240,000, or 10.8%, when compared to $2,219,000 during the same period in 2023.   SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue are 15.9% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 compared to 19.2% for the same period in 2023.

 

SG&A expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 of approximately $6,394,000 decreased $1,269,000, or 16.6%, when compared to $7,663,000 during the same period in 2023. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue are 18.2% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 compared to 24.5% for the same period in 2023.

 

The SG&A expense decrease for the quarter is attributable to lower R&D project costs and higher legal costs when compared to the prior year.  The improvement in SG&A expense for the year is also driven by lower R&D project costs and professional and legal costs due to the significant, non-recurring bank refinancing, proxy contest and corporate restructuring charges in the prior year.  The SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue in the current year is more aligned with our expectations of standard business operations and cost containment efforts when compared to the prior year.

 

Legal Settlement

 

Legal settlement expense was approximately $570,000 the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 compared to $0 during the same period in 2023and is attributable to the expected settlement agreement related to employment contract disputes with a former officer of the Company prior to the end of year.  As this expense is nonroutine in nature, it is shown as a separate component of operating costs in the current year.  

 

Operating (Loss) Income

 

Operating loss of approximately $(281,000) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 declined by approximately $(561,000) when compared to operating income of $280,000 during the same period in 2023.

 

Operating income of approximately $102,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 improved by approximately $2,726,000 when compared to the operating loss of $(2,624,000) during the same period in 2023.

 

The operating loss for the quarter was driven by the legal settlement costs, combined with unfavorable product mix and higher manufacturing costs.  This was partially offset by lower SG&A expense in the current year and product liability costs incurred in the prior year. The significant improvement in operating income for the year when compared to the prior year is due to double-digit revenue and gross profit growth, gross margin improvement driven by higher production output and utilization, and lower operating costs.

 

Other Expense

 

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, other expense increased by approximately $74,000, or 75.5%, compared to the same period in 2023. 

 

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, other expense increased by approximately $114,000, or 47.7%, compared to the same period in 2023.

 

The increase in interest and other expense the quarter was driven primarily by the annual facility fee for our asset-based line of credit that did not occur in the prior year.  The increase for the nine months was due to the annual facility fee incurred in the quarter and higher interest rates in the current year when compared to the prior year.

 

 

(Loss) Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes

 

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, loss before income taxes was $(453,000), a decrease of approximately $(635,000), or (348.9)%, compared to income before income taxes of $182,000 during the same period in 2023.

 

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, loss before income taxes was $(251,000), an increase of approximately $2,612,000, or 91.2%, compared to a loss before income taxes of $(2,863,000) during the same period in 2023.

 

The loss before taxes for the quarter was due to the operating loss and higher interest and other expense, as noted above.  The significant improvement in loss before taxes was due to the operating income for the year, as noted above.

 

Income Taxes

 

No tax expense was recorded in the quarter for the current and prior year, as the tax benefit related to the pretax loss is considered a deferred tax asset, and a full valuation allowance has been established against deferred tax assets.  Consistent with the current quarter, no tax expense was recorded for the current year, however, tax expense of approximately $1,063,000 was recorded in the prior year due to the recording of the valuation allowance, as noted. 

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was 0.0% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.  The Company’s effective tax rate was 0.0% and (10.4%) for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rates and the statutory rate of 21.0% in the current and prior year reflects the impact of a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. See also Note 8, Income Taxes, of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for information concerning income taxes.

 

Loss (Income) from Continuing Operations net of Tax

 

Loss from continuing operations of $(453,000) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 declined by approximately $(635,000) when compared to income from continuing operations of $182,000 for the same period in 2023 due to the reasons noted above.

 

Loss from continuing operations of $(251,000) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 improved by approximately $3,675,000 when compared to the loss from continuing operations of $(3,926,000) for the same period in 2023 due to the reasons noted above.

 

Loss from Discontinued Operation

 

Loss from discontinued operation, net of tax, of $(43,000) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 improved by approximately $343,000 when compared to the loss from discontinued operation of $(386,000) for the same period in 2023, as wind-down costs associated with the OKC operations and divestiture costs related to the CPG business segment are substantially complete when compared to the prior quarter.

 

Loss from discontinued operation, net of tax, of $(72,000) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 improved by approximately $7,254,000 when compared to the loss from discontinued operation of $(7,326,000) for the same period in 2023, as wind-down costs associated with the OKC operations and divestiture costs related to the CPG business segment are substantially complete when compared to the prior year.

Operating Activities:

 

Cash provided by operating activities of $11,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 represents an increase in cash flow from operations of $4,919,000 when compared to the cash use of $(4,908,000) during the same period in 2023. The source of cash in the current year is due primarily to the increase in accounts payable offset by an increase in inventories to support higher production output.  The use of cash in the prior year was due primarily to significant operating losses and an increase in accounts receivable.

 

We had working capital of approximately $21,845,000 and $20,795,000 as of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, of which approximately $196,000 and $308,000 as of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, was comprised of cash and restricted cash. The increase in working capital is due primarily to higher inventory levels to support our production output and revenue growth. 

 

Investing Activities:

 

We used approximately $(933,000) for investing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, and used approximately $(606,000) during the same period in 2023. The investing activities were used for capital expenditures (machinery and equipment and building improvements).

 

Financing Activities:

 

Cash provided by financing activities of $1,045,000 was driven primarily by advances from our line of credit (net of payments) of approximately $1,066,000 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. Our primary source of cash of approximately $1,663,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 was due to advances from our line of credit (net of payments) of approximately $2,164,000, partially offset by the payment of our equipment loans of approximately $(501,000).

 

 

Discontinued Operation Activities:

 

Our use of cash from discontinued operating activities of approximately $(172,000) during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 resulted from operating losses, wind-down and divestiture costs, which are substantially complete. For the same period in 2023, our source of cash of approximately $347,000 resulted from the proceeds from the sale of OKC assets, mostly offset by operating losses, wind-down and divestiture costs.

 

Ongoing Liquidity Considerations:

 

The significant improvement in operating results compared to prior year and the availability of funding from our credit facility provides us with adequate working capital and sufficient liquidity to fund our operations in the near term.  We understand, however, that our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity is highly dependent upon achieving our expected operating results.  Failure to achieve our expected operating results could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and our ability to obtain financing to support operations.

 

Management Summary

 

We are pleased with our revenue growth of 7% despite the challenges we are facing as a supplier for the commercial aerospace market, which is experiencing unprecedented headwinds in 2024.  The aerospace industry has been rapidly ramping up over the last two years creating volatility in the market, including supply chain disruptions, demand and forecasting changes, and labor shortages and strikes.  We are not immune to this volatility and the significant impact that the large aerospace manufacturers have on their supply chain.  That said, our significant customers are reforecasting their demand for the remainder of the year and 2025.  We are actively navigating through the complexity of aligning our customers’ reforecasts with our production output to achieve profitability.

 

We will continue to effectively manage costs and focus on operating cash flow, which reinforces our commitment to achieving profitability and enhancing shareholder value.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this report, the words “project,” “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors that will influence the Company’s future operations, including: uncertainties in today’s global economy, including political risks, adverse changes in legal and regulatory environments, and difficulty in predicting defense appropriations, the introduction of new technologies and the impact of competitive products, the vitality of the commercial aviation industry and its ability to purchase new aircraft, the willingness and ability of the Company’s customers to fund long-term purchase programs, and market demand and acceptance both for the Company’s products and its customers’ products which incorporate Company-made components, the Company’s ability to accurately align capacity with demand, the availability of financing and changes in interest rates, the outcome of pending and potential litigation, and on commercial activity and demand across our and our customers’ businesses, and on global supply chains, the ability of the Company to obtain and retain key executives and employees and the additional risks discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

Servotronics, Inc. (“Servotronics”) and its subsidiaries (“Company”) design, manufacture and market servo-control components and other advanced technology products for aerospace, military and medical applications. The Company was incorporated in New York in 1959. In 1972, the Company was merged into a wholly owned subsidiary organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, thereby changing the Company’s state of incorporation from New York to Delaware. The Company’s shares currently trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE American) under the symbol SVT.

 

Until 2023, the Company had operated historically under two business segments: Advanced Technology Group (“ATG”) and Consumer Products Group (“CPG”), which had been strategic business segments that offered different products and services. Operations in ATG included the design, manufacturing and marketing of servo-control components and other advanced technology products, and the CPG operations included the design, manufacture and marketing of a variety of cutlery products for use by consumers and government agencies. During 2023, the Company’s Management made the strategic decision to sell certain assets of The Ontario Knife Company (“OKC”) and divest the CPG business segment. This divestiture represented a strategic shift, as the Company has realigned its corporate and management reporting structure to focus solely on servo-control components and other advanced technology products, and now organizes its business in a single reportable segment with no reference to ATG or CPG.  This segment structure reflects the financial information and reports used by Management, specifically the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements currently include the accounts of Servotronics, OKC, and other inactive, wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company derives its primary sales revenue from domestic customers, although a portion of finished products are for foreign end use. As stated, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with a third party to sell certain assets of OKC, which transaction closed on August 1, 2023. Accordingly, the sale of assets and results of operations for OKC are presented as a “Loss from Discontinued Operation, net of tax” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and assets and liabilities are reflected as “Assets and Liabilities related to Discontinued Operation” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The “Loss from Discontinued Operation, net of tax” is included in the net income or net loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, and the cash used by operating activities from the discontinued operation is included in the “Discontinued Operation” section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2023 annual report and the notes thereto.

 

The 2023 financial information included in the aforementioned Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were reclassified to conform with the discontinued operation presentation. Amounts for all periods discussed below reflect the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from the Company’s continuing operations, unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 2 “Discontinued Operation and Assets and Liabilities Related to Discontinued Operation”, for further discussion.

 

Cash and Restricted Cash

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash to the amounts in the statement of cash flows:

 

  

September 30,

  

December 31,

 

(in thousands)

 

2024

  

2023

 

Cash

 $46  $95 

Restricted cash

  150   150 

Total cash and restricted cash

 $196  $245 

 

The Company considers cash to include all currency and coin owned by the Company as well as all deposits in the bank including checking and savings accounts. The restricted cash of $150,000 as of  September 30, 2024 and  December 31, 2023 represents collateral with a financial institution.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company grants credit to substantially all of its customers and carries its accounts receivable at original invoice amount less an allowance for credit losses. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for credit losses based on history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions.  Collections on previously reserved accounts receivable and write offs of accounts deemed uncollectable, resulted in a reserve decrease of $90,000 during 2024.  The allowance for credit losses was approximately $31,000 as of September 30, 2024 and $121,000 as of December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized at the time of shipment of goods, transfer of title and customer acceptance, as required. Revenue transactions generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer contracted goods. Purchase orders generally include specific terms relative to quantity, item description, specifications, price, customer responsibility for in-process costs, delivery schedule, shipping point, payment and other standard terms and conditions of purchase. Service revenue, principally representing repairs, is recognized at the time of shipment of goods.

 

Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to a customer. The Company determines revenue recognition using the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Revenue excludes taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer (e.g., sales and use taxes). Revenue includes payments for shipping activities that are reimbursed by the customer to the Company.

 

Performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with customers, providing a framework for the nature of the distinct goods, services or bundle of goods and services. The timing of satisfying the performance obligation is typically indicated by the terms of the contract. As a significant portion of the Company’s revenue are recognized at the time of shipment, transfer of title and customer acceptance, there is no significant judgment applied to determine the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations or transaction price. Shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer obtains control of the promised goods are considered fulfillment activities.

 

The timing of satisfaction of our performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment. The Company generally receives payment for these contracts within the payment terms negotiated and agreed upon by each customer contract.

 

Warranty and repair obligations are assessed on all returns. Revenue is not recorded on any warranty returns. The Company warrants its products against design, materials and workmanship based on an average of twenty-seven months. The Company determines warranty reserves needed based on actual average costs of warranty units shipped and current facts and circumstances. As of September 30, 2024, and  December 31, 2023 under the guidance of ASC 460, the Company has recorded a warranty reserve of approximately $413,000 and $542,000, respectively. Revenue is recognized on repair returns, covered under a customer contract, at the contractual price upon shipment to the customer.

 

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into geographic regions. The Company determined that disaggregating revenue into this category achieves the objective to portray how the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue from cash flows are affected by different regions. Disaggregation of revenue by geographic region are provided below:

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with any adjustments reflected as a reduction to finished goods inventory. Cost includes all costs incurred to bring each product to its present location and condition.  Inventory reserves consist of obsolete and/or slow-moving items based on inventory levels in excess of forecasted sales activity and have increased due to the reserve methodologies.  These reserves are applied to the gross value of the inventory and are approximately $735,000 and $627,000 as of  September 30, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, respectively.  Pre-production and start-up costs are expensed as incurred.

 

The purchase of suppliers’ minimum economic quantities of material such as steel, etc. may result in a purchase of quantities exceeding two years of customer requirements. Also, in order to maintain a reasonable and/or agreed to lead time or minimum stocking requirements, certain larger quantities of other product support items may have to be purchased and may result in over one year’s supply. The amounts are not included in the inventory reserve discussed above.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of goods sold.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost; expenditures for new facilities and equipment and expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of existing plant and equipment are capitalized; expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of properties, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any profit or loss on disposition is included in income.

 

Depreciation is provided on the basis of estimated useful lives of depreciable properties, primarily by the straight-line method for financial statement purposes and by accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets accounted for as finance leases. The estimated useful lives of depreciable properties are generally as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements (years)

  5 - 40 

Machinery and equipment (years)

  5 - 20 

Tooling (years)

  3 - 5 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as operating loss and credit carryforwards. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, combined New York, Texas, California and Connecticut state income tax returns, and a separate Arkansas state income tax return.

 

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions and income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties included in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at  September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023, and did not recognize any interest and/or penalties in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits or obligations as of  September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The 2020 through 2023 federal and 2019 through 2023 state tax returns remain subject to examination by the respective taxing authorities.

 

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

 

Income taxes paid amounted to approximately $0 and $2,000 for the nine-month periods ended  September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.  Interest paid during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $209,000 and $98,000 respectively.

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

Contributions to the employee stock ownership plan are determined annually by the Company according to plan formula.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable based on undiscounted future operating cash flow analyses. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal.

 

The Company’s strategic decision to sell certain assets of OKC in 2023 resulted in the classification of a discontinued operation and triggered an impairment of OKC’s real property in accordance with ASC 360-10-45-9 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Refer to Note 2, “Discontinued Operation and Assets and Liabilities Related to Discontinued Operation”, for further discussion. No additional impairment of long-lived assets exists as of September 30, 2024, which primarily includes the Company’s tangible real (land and building) and personal (machinery & equipment) properties.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain balances as previously reported were reclassified to classifications adopted in the current period.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risks principally consist of cash accounts in financial institutions. Although the accounts exceed the federally insured deposit amount, management assesses the risk of nonperformance by the financial institutions to be low.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short maturity. Based on variable interest rates and the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans similar to its asset-based line of credit the fair value approximates its carrying amount.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which provides updates to qualitative and quantitative reportable segment disclosure requirements, including enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and increased interim disclosure requirements, among others.  The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2024.

 

There have been no additional new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

Discontinued Operation and Assets and Liabilities Related to Discontinued Operation

 

The Company’s decision to sell certain assets and wind down the operations of OKC met the “held for sale” definition under ASC 205-20-45-9 Discontinued Operations and represented a strategic shift that had a significant impact on the Company’s overall operations and financial results. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of OKC are reflected as “Assets and Liabilities related to Discontinued Operation” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of  September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. In addition, OKC’s operating loss, divestiture costs, and impairment charges on long-lived assets were reclassified to “Loss from Discontinued Operation, net of tax” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (as reclassified).

 

Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company sold inventory, machinery & equipment and intellectual property (patents & trademarks/tradenames) to a third party on August 1, 2023. As a direct result of Management’s decision to sell OKC’s assets, divest the operations, and exit the CPG business segment, the Company incurred impairment charges on its long-lived asset (building) in 2023 based on independent, third-party appraisals (less estimated costs to sell).  No impairment charges were incurred for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024.

 

Operating loss from discontinued operation was approximately $33,000 and $90,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, respectively (compared to $403,000 and $1,893,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as reclassified).  Divestiture and impairment cost changes were approximately $(10,000) and $18,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024(compared to divestiture and impairment cost estimates of $79,000 and $2,306,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as reclassified).  The loss on the sale of assets was $0 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, respectively (compared to a change in purchase price of $96,000 and a loss of $(3,127,000) for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as reclassified).  Therefore, the total Loss from Discontinued Operation, net of tax, is approximately $(43,000) and $(72,000) for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, respectively (compared to a Loss of $(386,000) and $(7,326,000) for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as reclassified).

Most of the remaining assets and liabilities are expected to be expensed or settled in 2024, as divestiture and wind-down activities are substantially complete.

Indebtedness

 

In 2023, the Company entered into a three-year financing agreement with a financial lending institution for an asset-based line of credit (“Credit Facility”) with a maximum revolving credit of $7,000,000. The borrowing base under the Credit Facility is determined using 85% of eligible domestic and foreign accounts receivable balances, less any other specific reserves. In general terms, ineligible receivables are defined as invoices unpaid over 90 days. The balance outstanding on the Credit Facility is approximately $3,169,000 and $2,103,000 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The interest rate on the Credit Facility is equal to the greater of 8.0% or the prime rate (as defined by JP Morgan Chase) plus 1.0% (9.0% as of September 30, 2024 and 9.5% as of  December 31, 2023). The Credit facility is collateralized by the Company’s non-realty assets.

 

In accordance with ASC 470-10-45-5 Classification of Revolving Credit Agreements Subject to Lock-Box Arrangements and Subjective Acceleration Clauses, borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility that includes both a subjective acceleration clause and requirement to maintain a lock-box arrangement must be considered short-term obligations. As the Credit Facility includes both provisions, the outstanding balances are classified as current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The Credit Facility contains two financial covenants required to be maintained by the Company at the end of each of its fiscal quarters. The Tangible Net Worth covenant requires the Company to maintain tangible net worth not less than $20,000,000. The Working Capital covenant requires the Company to maintain working capital not less than $10,000,000. The Company has met both covenant requirements as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Postretirement Benefit Plan

 

The Company provides certain postretirement health and life insurance benefits for two former executives (“retirees”) of the Company (“Plan”). Upon ceasing employment, the Company pays the annual cost of health insurance coverage and provides continuing life insurance at the same level of coverage at the time of terminating employment with the Company. The Plan also provides a benefit to reimburse the retirees for certain out-of-pocket medical and/or health-related costs. The retirees’ benefits cease upon their death. The Plan is unfunded and the actuarially determined projected postretirement benefit obligation was approximately $4,307,000 and $4,262,000 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Benefit costs for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were $74,000 and $65,000 respectively. Benefit costs for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $220,000 and $195,000, respectively.

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities or any unvested restricted shares of common stock. These unvested restricted shares, although classified as issued and outstanding, are considered forfeitable until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic EPS calculation until the shares are vested. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the number of shares of common stock that would be issued assuming all contingently issuable shares having a dilutive effect on the earnings per share were outstanding for the period. The dilutive effect of unvested restrictive stock is determined using the treasury stock method. However, if the assumed common shares are anti-dilutive, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“Equity Plan”) was approved by the shareholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Equity Plan allows for various types of awards (rights) to be granted, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted awards, performance share awards, cash awards, or any other equity-based awards.  The total number of awards under the Equity Plan are limited to a maximum of 200,000 authorized common shares.

 

The Company’s executive compensation program established by the Board of Directors (Board) determines the type of awards available to the Company’s executives. The program consists of a cash incentive plan and a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) that are awarded annually.  The LTIP includes service-based (restricted) share awards that vest annually over three years, and performance-based (restricted) share awards that cliff-vest based on the achievement of a financial metric over a specified three-year period. 

 

On March 26, 2024, 7,180 service-based shares were granted to Company executives under the 2024-2026 LTIP Stock Award.  Additionally, on January 29, 2024, 1,786 service-based shares were granted in connection with the hiring of an executive officer, and vest after a one-year service period.  On September 18, 2024, 1,905 of the LTIP shares and 1,786 of the shares related to the hiring were forfeited upon the resignation of the executive officer (3,691 total forfeited shares).

 

The Company’s director compensation policy provides that non-employee directors receive a portion of their annual retainer in the form of restricted shares under the Equity Plan.  These shares vest quarterly over a twelve-month service period, have voting rights, and any dividends declared and paid during the restricted period accrue and are paid upon vesting.  The aggregate amount of expense to the Company, measured based on the grant date fair value, is recognized over the requisite service period.  On May 10, 2024, an aggregate of 9,980 restricted shares were issued with a grant date fair value of $125,000. On August 8, 2024, the Board approved the full vesting of 1,996 restricted shares with a grant date fair value of $25,000 due to the death of a Board member, which was expensed during the third quarter.

Included in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is approximately $185,000 and $111,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the service-based share awards. The Company has approximately $262,000 of stock-based compensation expense related to unvested service-based shares to be recognized over the requisite service periods.

 

Restricted, performance-based share awards represent a right to receive a certain number of shares of common stock based on the achievement of corporate performance goals and continued employment during the performance period. Performance-based share awards granted to executives vest at the end of a three-year period and are not issued until the performance period is complete and the metrics are achieved. Vested and issued shares may range from 0% to a maximum of 200% of targeted amounts depending on the achievement of performance measures at the end of a three-year period. The expected cost of the shares is based on the date of grant fair value and the Company’s assessment of the probability that the performance condition will be achieved at target (100%). Any related compensation expense is recognized when the probability is likely that the performance criteria will be achieved. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. These awards may be settled in cash or shares of common stock at the election of the Company on the date of grant. It is the Company’s intent to settle performance-based share awards with shares of common stock.

 

On March 26, 2024, 21,541 performance-based share awards (at target) were granted to Company executives under the 2024-2026 LTIP Stock Award at a grant date fair value of $12.63 per share, of which 5,716 share awards were forfeited on September 18, 2024 upon the resignation of an executive officer. On December 13, 2023, 17,380 performance-based share awards (at target) were granted to Company executives under the 2023-2025 LTIP Stock Award at a grant date fair value of $11.50 per share.

No stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based share awards is included in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, as the probability of achieving the financial metric required for vesting and issuance of the share awards is deemed not probable for the 2023-2025 and 2024-2026 LTIP Awards granted to executives. The maximum potential stock-based compensation expense for the performance-based share awards under the 2023-2025 and 2024-2026 LTIP Stock Awards is approximately $800,000.

Income Taxes

 

The income tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is $0 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 compared to an income tax expense of $0 and approximately $1,063,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, due to the valuation allowance recorded against the net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2024 and 2023. The valuation allowance was initially recorded during the second quarter of 2023 based on management’s determination that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the net deferred tax assets in the future.

 

The effective tax rate for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 is 0%, compared to an effective tax rate of 0% and (10.4%) for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The difference between the statutory rate of 21% and the effective tax rate expense of 0% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 is due to the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets (net) as of September 30, 2024.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the course of its business, the Company is subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits that are inherently subject to many uncertainties regarding the possibility of a loss to the Company. Because litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable, the Company’s evaluation of legal proceedings often involves a series of complex assessments by Management, after consulting with legal counsel, about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company carries liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles and policy limits, for such claims as they arise and may from time to time establish reserves for litigation that is considered probable of a loss. The Company does not accrue liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote.

 

During 2023, the Company entered into discussions with a particular customer regarding product liability costs and customer damages (“claim”) resulting from non-conforming product shipped to the customer in prior years. Prior to 2023, the Company considered the risk of loss to be remote, however, the claim was received from the customer and submitted to the Company’s insurance carrier in 2024.  The insurance carrier determined the claim was covered by insurance for approximately $1,000,000 and proceeds were received during the second quarter. The claim liability of approximately $1,000,000 included in accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2024, was paid to the customer in July 2024, and the claim was settled.

 

On December 21, 2021, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer ("Former CEO") delivered his Notice of Termination and alleged that the Company breached the terms of the Employment Agreement between the Company and the Former CEO by, among others, placing the Former CEO on paid administrative leave in June 2021 pending an internal investigation. On December 22, 2021, the Board of Directors accepted the Former CEO's resignation from the Company but rejected his request to treat his resignation as resignation for good reason under Paragraph 10 of his Employment Agreement. The Board also determined, based on the findings of its investigation, that the Former CEO committed willful malfeasance in violation of his Employment Agreement, and that such willful malfeasance would have justified termination of employment pursuant to Paragraph 9 of the Employment Agreement, but for his earlier resignation.  The Former CEO claims that he is entitled to a severance payment equal to 2.99 times his average annual compensation as set forth in the Employment Agreement, plus the reimbursement of certain expenses and the value of any lost benefits. In September 2024, mediation efforts between the Company and the Former CEO resulted in a good-faith agreement in principle for settlement of the dispute between the two parties, which is expected to be executed prior to the end of 2024.  The agreement is anticipated to settle all matters previously noted for approximately $570,000.  The settlement agreement does not impact the post-retirement benefits under the employment agreement. As it is probable that a liability will be realizable and the settlement is estimable, a contingent liability of $570,000 has been recorded with respect to this matter as of September 30, 2024.  This legal settlement cost is reflected as a separate component of operating costs for the three- and nine-month periods ended  September 30, 2024.

 

On June 7, 2021, a Summons and Complaint was filed by an employee in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Erie, against Servotronics, Inc., the Servotronics’ Board of Directors, The Ontario Knife Company and Kenneth D. Trbovich (collectively, the “Defendants”). The Complaint alleges certain violations under the New York Human Rights Law by the Defendants relating to the employee’s employment by the Company as well as intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. The Complaint also alleges certain purported derivative causes of action against all Defendants, including breach of fiduciary duties, fraud and corporate waste. The Complaint seeks monetary damages in an amount not less than $5,000,000 with respect to the direct causes of action and equitable relief with respect to the purported derivative causes of action. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint on August 6, 2021. On January 13, 2022, the Defendants' motion to dismiss was granted, in part, and denied, in part. The Company is insured for such matters in the amount of $3 million with a retention of $250,000 for defense costs. During 2023, the Company met the retention amount, so defense costs are covered by insurance. Additionally, there is an excess coverage policy for $3 million that considers the retention payment from the primary insurance policy as the excess $3 million retention. Based on the information known by the Company as of the date of this filing, the Company does not consider the risk of loss to be probable and is unable to reasonably or accurately estimate the likelihood and amount of any liability that may be realized as a result of this litigation. Accordingly, no loss has been recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements related to this litigation. The Company is vigorously defending against this litigation.

 

There are no other legal proceedings currently pending by or against the Company other than litigation incidental to the business which is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or earnings of the Company.

Customer and Supplier Concentration

 

The Company's revenue includes significant concentration from a limited number of customers representing approximately 88% of revenue for both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 compared to 92% and 90% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively. While the Company continues to pursue diversification of its customer base, the loss of, or significant reduction in business from, any of these major customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company routinely assesses its relationships with major customers, including creditworthiness, market conditions, and competitive pressures, to mitigate risks associated with customer concentration. Despite these efforts, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully reduce its dependence on any single customer in the future.

 

The Company relies on a variety of suppliers for the procurement of raw materials, components, and services necessary for its operations. While the Company actively manages its relationships with suppliers and seeks to diversify its supplier base, a disruption in the supply of goods or services from a major supplier could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results.  To mitigate the risks associated with supplier concentration, the Company engages in ongoing efforts to identify alternative sources of supply, assess supplier reliability and performance, and negotiate favorable contractual terms where feasible. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in reducing its dependence on any single supplier or mitigating the impact of supplier-related risks in the future. During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, there were no purchases for products derived from one supplier greater than 10% of total vendor purchases compared to 11% and 10% from one supplier for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

Servotronics, Inc. (“Servotronics”) and its subsidiaries (“Company”) design, manufacture and market servo-control components and other advanced technology products for aerospace, military and medical applications. The Company was incorporated in New York in 1959. In 1972, the Company was merged into a wholly owned subsidiary organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, thereby changing the Company’s state of incorporation from New York to Delaware. The Company’s shares currently trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE American) under the symbol SVT.

 

Until 2023, the Company had operated historically under two business segments: Advanced Technology Group (“ATG”) and Consumer Products Group (“CPG”), which had been strategic business segments that offered different products and services. Operations in ATG included the design, manufacturing and marketing of servo-control components and other advanced technology products, and the CPG operations included the design, manufacture and marketing of a variety of cutlery products for use by consumers and government agencies. During 2023, the Company’s Management made the strategic decision to sell certain assets of The Ontario Knife Company (“OKC”) and divest the CPG business segment. This divestiture represented a strategic shift, as the Company has realigned its corporate and management reporting structure to focus solely on servo-control components and other advanced technology products, and now organizes its business in a single reportable segment with no reference to ATG or CPG.  This segment structure reflects the financial information and reports used by Management, specifically the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements currently include the accounts of Servotronics, OKC, and other inactive, wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company derives its primary sales revenue from domestic customers, although a portion of finished products are for foreign end use. As stated, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with a third party to sell certain assets of OKC, which transaction closed on August 1, 2023. Accordingly, the sale of assets and results of operations for OKC are presented as a “Loss from Discontinued Operation, net of tax” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and assets and liabilities are reflected as “Assets and Liabilities related to Discontinued Operation” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The “Loss from Discontinued Operation, net of tax” is included in the net income or net loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, and the cash used by operating activities from the discontinued operation is included in the “Discontinued Operation” section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2023 annual report and the notes thereto.

 

The 2023 financial information included in the aforementioned Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were reclassified to conform with the discontinued operation presentation. Amounts for all periods discussed below reflect the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from the Company’s continuing operations, unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 2 “Discontinued Operation and Assets and Liabilities Related to Discontinued Operation”, for further discussion.

Accounts Receivable [Policy Text Block]

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company grants credit to substantially all of its customers and carries its accounts receivable at original invoice amount less an allowance for credit losses. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for credit losses based on history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions.  Collections on previously reserved accounts receivable and write offs of accounts deemed uncollectable, resulted in a reserve decrease of $90,000 during 2024.  The allowance for credit losses was approximately $31,000 as of September 30, 2024 and $121,000 as of December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.

 

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized at the time of shipment of goods, transfer of title and customer acceptance, as required. Revenue transactions generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer contracted goods. Purchase orders generally include specific terms relative to quantity, item description, specifications, price, customer responsibility for in-process costs, delivery schedule, shipping point, payment and other standard terms and conditions of purchase. Service revenue, principally representing repairs, is recognized at the time of shipment of goods.

 

Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to a customer. The Company determines revenue recognition using the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Revenue excludes taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer (e.g., sales and use taxes). Revenue includes payments for shipping activities that are reimbursed by the customer to the Company.

 

Performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with customers, providing a framework for the nature of the distinct goods, services or bundle of goods and services. The timing of satisfying the performance obligation is typically indicated by the terms of the contract. As a significant portion of the Company’s revenue are recognized at the time of shipment, transfer of title and customer acceptance, there is no significant judgment applied to determine the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations or transaction price. Shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer obtains control of the promised goods are considered fulfillment activities.

 

The timing of satisfaction of our performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment. The Company generally receives payment for these contracts within the payment terms negotiated and agreed upon by each customer contract.

 

Warranty and repair obligations are assessed on all returns. Revenue is not recorded on any warranty returns. The Company warrants its products against design, materials and workmanship based on an average of twenty-seven months. The Company determines warranty reserves needed based on actual average costs of warranty units shipped and current facts and circumstances. As of September 30, 2024, and  December 31, 2023 under the guidance of ASC 460, the Company has recorded a warranty reserve of approximately $413,000 and $542,000, respectively. Revenue is recognized on repair returns, covered under a customer contract, at the contractual price upon shipment to the customer.

 

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into geographic regions. The Company determined that disaggregating revenue into this category achieves the objective to portray how the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue from cash flows are affected by different regions. Disaggregation of revenue by geographic region are provided below:

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with any adjustments reflected as a reduction to finished goods inventory. Cost includes all costs incurred to bring each product to its present location and condition.  Inventory reserves consist of obsolete and/or slow-moving items based on inventory levels in excess of forecasted sales activity and have increased due to the reserve methodologies.  These reserves are applied to the gross value of the inventory and are approximately $735,000 and $627,000 as of  September 30, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, respectively.  Pre-production and start-up costs are expensed as incurred.

 

The purchase of suppliers’ minimum economic quantities of material such as steel, etc. may result in a purchase of quantities exceeding two years of customer requirements. Also, in order to maintain a reasonable and/or agreed to lead time or minimum stocking requirements, certain larger quantities of other product support items may have to be purchased and may result in over one year’s supply. The amounts are not included in the inventory reserve discussed above.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs [Policy Text Block]

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of goods sold.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost; expenditures for new facilities and equipment and expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of existing plant and equipment are capitalized; expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of properties, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any profit or loss on disposition is included in income.

 

Depreciation is provided on the basis of estimated useful lives of depreciable properties, primarily by the straight-line method for financial statement purposes and by accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets accounted for as finance leases. The estimated useful lives of depreciable properties are generally as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements (years)

  5 - 40 

Machinery and equipment (years)

  5 - 20 

Tooling (years)

  3 - 5 

 

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as operating loss and credit carryforwards. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, combined New York, Texas, California and Connecticut state income tax returns, and a separate Arkansas state income tax return.

 

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions and income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties included in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at  September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023, and did not recognize any interest and/or penalties in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits or obligations as of  September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The 2020 through 2023 federal and 2019 through 2023 state tax returns remain subject to examination by the respective taxing authorities.

 

Cash Flow, Supplemental Disclosures [Policy Text Block]

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

 

Income taxes paid amounted to approximately $0 and $2,000 for the nine-month periods ended  September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.  Interest paid during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $209,000 and $98,000 respectively.

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), Policy [Policy Text Block]

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

Contributions to the employee stock ownership plan are determined annually by the Company according to plan formula.

 

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable based on undiscounted future operating cash flow analyses. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal.

 

The Company’s strategic decision to sell certain assets of OKC in 2023 resulted in the classification of a discontinued operation and triggered an impairment of OKC’s real property in accordance with ASC 360-10-45-9 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Refer to Note 2, “Discontinued Operation and Assets and Liabilities Related to Discontinued Operation”, for further discussion. No additional impairment of long-lived assets exists as of September 30, 2024, which primarily includes the Company’s tangible real (land and building) and personal (machinery & equipment) properties.

 

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block]

Reclassifications

 

Certain balances as previously reported were reclassified to classifications adopted in the current period.

 

Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Concentration of Credit Risks

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risks principally consist of cash accounts in financial institutions. Although the accounts exceed the federally insured deposit amount, management assesses the risk of nonperformance by the financial institutions to be low.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short maturity. Based on variable interest rates and the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans similar to its asset-based line of credit the fair value approximates its carrying amount.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which provides updates to qualitative and quantitative reportable segment disclosure requirements, including enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and increased interim disclosure requirements, among others.  The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2024.

 

There have been no additional new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.
