(Unaudited)
March 25, 2017
(1) ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), provides parts cleaning, hazardous and non-hazardous containerized waste, used oil collection, vacuum, antifreeze recycling and field services to small and mid-sized industrial and vehicle maintenance customers. The Company owns and operates a used oil re-refinery where it re-refines used oils and sells high quality base oil for lubricants as well as other re-refinery products. The Company also has multiple locations where it dehydrates used oil. The oil processed at these locations is sold as recycled fuel oil. The company also operates multiple wastewater treatment plants and antifreeze recycling facilities at which it produces virgin-quality antifreeze. The Company's locations are in the United States and Ontario, Canada. The Company conducts its primary business operations through Heritage-Crystal Clean, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary, and all intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. The most recent fiscal year ended on
December 31, 2016
. Each of the Company's first three fiscal quarters consists of twelve weeks while the last fiscal quarter consists of sixteen or seventeen weeks.
In the Company's Environmental Services segment, product revenues include sales of solvent, machines, absorbent, accessories, and antifreeze; service revenues include servicing of parts cleaning machines, drum waste removal services, vacuum truck services, field services, and other services. In the Company's Oil Business segment, product revenues include sales of re-refined base oil, recycled fuel oil, used oil, and other products; service revenues include revenues from used oil collection activities, collecting and disposing of waste water and removal and disposal of used oil filters. Due to the Company's integrated business model, it is impracticable to separately present costs of tangible products and costs of services.

ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and
ASU 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date. (Topic 606)
|
|
May 2014
|
|
The underlying principle of this update is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance. Early adoption is permitted.
|
|
December 31, 2017
|
|
The Company is continuing to evaluate the effect that this accounting standard will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. To date, certain personnel have attended technical training concerning this new revenue recognition standard. The Company is working to identify each of the different types of contracts with customers and the various performance obligations associated with each type of contract. The Company is also assessing the changes that will be necessary to our information systems to enable us to capture the information necessary to recognize revenue in accordance with the new standard and comply with the additional disclosure requirements. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (the full retrospective approach), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective approach). A final decision regarding the adoption method has not been finalized at this time. The Company’s final determination will depend on a number of factors, such as the significance of the impact of the new standard on its financial results, system readiness, and its ability to accumulate and analyze the information necessary to assess the impact on prior period financial statements, as necessary.

ASU 2016-09 Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.
(Topic 718)
|
|
March 2016
|
|
This update addresses the simplification of accounting for employee share-based payment transactions as it pertains to income taxes, the classification of awards as equity or liabilities, accounting for forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements, and certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. Early adoption is permitted.
|
|
January 1, 2017
|
|
ASU 2016-09 simplified the treatment for employee share-based compensation by allowing an entity to recognize excess tax benefits in the current period whether or not current taxes payable are reduced. Prior to 2017 the Company could not recognize windfall tax benefits associated with employee share-based compensation because it was in an NOL position and current taxes payable would not be reduced by the excess tax benefits. As a result of ASU 2016-09 the Company recognized excess tax benefits of $2.5 million from share-based compensation from prior years, resulting in cumulative-effect increases to retained earnings and deferred tax assets of approximately $1.0 million.
|
ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. (Topic 330)
|
|
July 2015
|
|
This update requires the measurement of inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.
|
|
January 1, 2017
|
|
The adoption of ASU 2015-11 at the start of fiscal 2017 resulted in no impact to our consolidated financial statements.

|
These updates require debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt, and allows for the presentation of debt issuance costs as an asset regardless of whether or not there is an outstanding balance on the line-of-credit arrangement.
|
|
January 3, 2016
|
|
The adoption of ASU 2015-03 resulted in the reclassification of $1.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs from "Other current assets" to "Term loan, less current maturities" as of January 2, 2016.

2015-16 Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (Topic 805)
|
|
September 2015
|
|
This update simplifies the accounting for measurement-period adjustments in a business combination by requiring the acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. The acquirer is also required to record in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, and other items resulting from the change to the provisional amounts.
|
|
January 3, 2016

The Company early adopted the amendments of this ASU No. 2015-16 in fiscal 2015 and it did not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

(3) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On December 2, 2016, the Company purchased the assets of Recycle Engine Coolant, Inc. ("REC"). The purchase price for the acquisition was
$0.7 million
, including
$0.1 million
placed into escrow. The Company purchased the assets of REC in order to expand its antifreeze recycling capabilities.
On March 24, 2016, the Company purchased the assets of Phoenix Environmental Services, Inc. and Pipeline Video and Cleaning North Corporation (together "Phoenix Environmental"). The purchase price for the acquisition was
$2.7 million
, including
$0.3 million
placed into escrow. The Company purchased the assets of Phoenix Environmental in order to expand its service coverage area into the Pacific Northwest. During the measurement period, the Company made adjustments to the provisional amounts reported as the estimated fair values of assets acquired as part of the Phoenix Environmental business combination. Compared to the provisional value reported as of December 31, 2016, the fair values presented in the table below reflect a decrease to accounts receivable of
$12
, a decrease to property, plant, & equipment of
$77
, and an increase to goodwill of
$89
. Factors leading to goodwill being recognized are the Company's expectations of synergies from integrating Phoenix Environmental into the Company as well as the value of intangible assets that are not separately recognized, such as assembled workforce.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net of cash acquired, related to each acquisition:

Inventory consists primarily of used oil, processed oil, solvents and solutions, new and refurbished parts cleaning machines, drums and supplies, and other items. Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market, net of any reserves for excess, obsolete, or unsalable inventory. The Company routinely monitors its inventory levels at each of its locations and evaluates inventories for excess or slow-moving items. If circumstances indicate the cost of inventories exceed their recoverable value, inventories are reduced to net realizable value. The Company had
no
inventory write downs during the first quarter of 2017, compared to a write down of
$1.5 million
in the first quarter of 2016.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill is measured as a residual amount as of the acquisition date, which in most cases results in measuring goodwill as an excess of the purchase consideration transferred plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including any contingent consideration. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and in interim periods if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company's determination of fair value requires certain assumptions and estimates, such as margin expectations, market conditions, growth expectations, expected changes in working capital, etc., regarding expected future profitability and expected future cash flows. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at each of its
two
reporting units, Environmental Services and Oil Business, and the Company does not aggregate reporting units for purposes of impairment testing.
The following table shows changes to our goodwill balances by segment from December 31, 2016, to March 25, 2017:

DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
Bank Credit Facility
On February 21, 2017, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement ("New Credit Agreement") replacing the prior Credit Agreement ("Prior Credit Agreement") dated as of June 29, 2015. The New Credit Agreement provides for borrowings of up to
$95.0 million
, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, comprised of a term loan of
$30.0 million
and up to
$65.0 million
of borrowings under the revolving loan portion. The actual amount available under the revolving loan portion of the Credit Agreement is limited by the Company's total leverage ratio. The amount available to draw at any point in time would be further reduced by any standby letters of credit issued.
Loans made under the New Credit Agreement may be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, at the election of the Company subject to certain exceptions. Base Rate Loans have an interest rate equal to (i) the higher of (a) the federal funds rate plus
0.5%
, (b) the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) plus
1%
, or (c) Bank of America's prime rate, plus (ii) a variable margin of between
0.75%
and
1.75%
depending on the Company's total leverage ratio, calculated on a consolidated basis. LIBOR rate loans have an interest rate equal to (i) the LIBOR rate plus (ii) a variable margin of between
1.75%
and
2.75%
depending on the Company's total leverage ratio. Amounts borrowed under the New Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company's tangible and intangible assets.
As of the Effective date of
February 21, 2017
, the effective interest rate on the term loan was
3.28%
and the effective rate on the revolving loan was
3.28%
.
The New Credit Agreement contains customary terms and provisions (including representations, covenants, and conditions) for transactions of this type. Certain covenants, among other things, restrict the Company's and its Subsidiaries' ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments and sell assets. The New Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, covenants and representations and warranties. Financial covenants include:
|
|
•
|
An interest coverage ratio (based on interest expense and EBITDA) of at least
3.5
to
1.0
;
|
|
|

A total leverage ratio no greater than

, provided that in the event of a permitted acquisition having an aggregate consideration equal to
$10.0 million
or more, at the Borrower’s election, the foregoing
3.00
to
1.00
shall be deemed to be
3.25

A capital expenditures covenant limiting capital expenditures to
$100.0 million
plus, if the capital expenditures permitted have been fully utilized, an additional amount for the remaining term of the New Credit Agreement equal to
35%
of EBITDA for the thirteen “four-week” periods most recently ended immediately prior to the full utilization of such
$100.0 million
basket
|
The New Credit Agreement places certain limitations on acquisitions and the payment of dividends.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company paid and capitalized
$1.1 million
of debt issuance costs pertaining to the New Credit Agreement and charged
$0.2 million
of unamortized debt issuance costs pertaining to the Prior Credit Agreement to selling, general, and administrative expenses.
During the first quarter of fiscal
2017
, the Company recorded interest of
$0.5 million
on the term loan. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recorded interest of
$0.6 million
on the Prior Credit Agreement term loans and capitalized less than
$0.1 million
for various capital projects.
As of
March 25, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under both credit agreements. As of
March 25, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, the Company had
$2.5 million
and
$3.0 million
of standby letters of credit issued, respectively, and
$62.5 million
and
$27.6 million
was available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility,
respectively. The actual amount available under the revolving loan portion of the New Credit Agreement is limited by the Company's total leverage ratio. We believe that the carrying value of our new debt balance at March 25, 2017 approximates fair value.
The Company's weighted average interest rate for all debt as of
March 25, 2017
and
March 26, 2016
was
3.5%
.

Assets for the corporate unallocated amounts consist of property, plant, and equipment used at the corporate headquarters, as well as cash and net deferred tax assets.
(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company may enter into purchase obligations with certain vendors. They represent expected payments to third party service providers and other commitments entered into during the normal course of our business. These purchase obligations are generally cancelable with or without notice, without penalty, although certain vendor agreements provide for cancellation fees or penalties depending on the terms of the contract.
The Company has purchase obligations in the form of open purchase orders of
$13.7 million
as of
March 25, 2017
, and
$9.7 million
as of December 31, 2016, primarily for used oil, solvent, machine purchases, disposal and transportation expenses, and capital expenditures.
The Company may be subject to investigations, claims or lawsuits as a result of operating its business, including matters governed by environmental laws and regulations. The Company may also be subject to tax audits in a variety of jurisdictions. When claims are asserted, the Company evaluates the likelihood that a loss will occur and records a liability for those instances when the likelihood is deemed probable and the exposure is reasonably estimable. The Company carries insurance at levels it
believes are adequate to cover loss contingencies based on historical claims activity. When the potential loss exposure is limited to the insurance deductible and the likelihood of loss is determined to be probable, the Company accrues for the amount of the required deductible, unless a lower amount of exposure is estimated. As of
March 25, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, the Company had accrued
$5.6 million
and
$5.5 million
related to loss contingencies and other contingent liabilities, respectively.
(11) INCOME TAXES
The Company deducted for federal income tax purposes accelerated "bonus" depreciation on the majority of its capital expenditures for assets placed in service in fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2015. Therefore, the Company recorded a noncurrent deferred tax liability to reflect difference between the book basis and the tax basis of those assets. In addition, as a result of the federal bonus depreciation, the Company recorded a Net Operating Loss ("NOL") of
$44.7 million
, which will begin to expire in 2031. The NOL as of March 25, 2017 was
$34.7 million
, and the remaining deferred tax asset related to the Company’s state and federal NOL was a tax effected balance of
$13.1 million
.
ASU 2016-09 simplified the treatment for employee share-based compensation by allowing an entity to recognize excess tax benefits in the current period whether or not current taxes payable are reduced. Prior to 2017 the Company could not recognize windfall tax benefits associated with employee share-based compensation because it was in an NOL position and current taxes payable would not be reduced by the excess tax benefits. As a result of ASU 2016-09 the Company recognized excess tax benefits of
$2.5 million
from share-based compensation from prior years, resulting in cumulative-effect increases to retained earnings and deferred tax assets of approximately
$1.0 million
.
The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal
2017
was
36.7%
compared to
33.4%
in the first quarter of fiscal
2016
. The rate difference is principally attributable to the differing treatment for financial reporting and income tax reporting for certain income and expenditures items. The rate increase is attributable to the previous year’s quarter expenditures reported net of anticipated reimbursement from an unrelated third party for financial reporting purposes, but deducted on a gross basis for income tax purposes, partially offset by expenditures which are expensed for financial reporting purposes but not deductible for income tax purposes.
The Company establishes reserves when it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the full tax benefit of a position. The Company had a reserve of
$2.4 million
for uncertain tax positions as of
March 25, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
. The gross unrecognized tax benefits would, if recognized, decrease the Company's effective tax rate.
(12) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be issued under the Company’s
2008 Omnibus Plan
("Plan") is
1,902,077
plus any common stock that becomes available for issuance pursuant to the reusage provision of the Plan. As of
March 25, 2017
, the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan was
40,341
shares.

Restricted Stock Compensation/Awards
Annually, the Company grants restricted shares to its Board of Directors. The shares become fully vested
one
year from their grant date. The fair value of each restricted stock grant is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The Company amortizes the expense over the service period, which is the fiscal year in which the award is granted. On May 5, 2016, the Company granted
28,674
restricted shares to the Board of Directors for service in fiscal 2016. During the second fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company will grant restricted shares to the Board of Directors for service in fiscal 2017. As of
March 25, 2017
, there was approximately
$0.2 million
of unrecognized expense associated with these grants, which will be recorded throughout the remainder fiscal
2017
. Expense related to the Board of Directors' restricted stock in both the
first quarter
of fiscal
2017
, and the
first quarter
of fiscal
2016
was
$0.1 million
.
In February 2015, the Company granted certain members of management
38,372
restricted shares based on their services in fiscal 2014 and contingent upon continued service. The restricted shares vest over a
three
year period which started January 1, 2016. The fair value of each restricted stock grant is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. There was less than
$0.1 million
and approximately
$0.1 million
in unrecognized compensation expense remaining related to these awards as of
March 25, 2017
and December 31, 2016, respectively. In each of the first quarters of fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016, compensation expense related to these awards was approximately
$0.1 million
.
In January 2016, the Company granted certain members of management
43,208
restricted shares based on their services in fiscal 2015 and contingent upon the employees' continued employment with the Company. The restricted shares vest over a period of approximately
three
years, beginning with the grant date in January 2016 and ending with the final vesting in January 2019. The fair value of each restricted stock grant is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. There was approximately
$0.2 million
in unrecognized compensation expense remaining related to these awards as of
March 25, 2017
and December 31, 2016. In each of the first quarters of fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016, less than
$0.1 million
was recorded as compensation expense related to these awards, respectively.
In February 2017, the Company granted certain members of management
146,564
restricted shares based on their services in fiscal 2016 and contingent upon the employees' continued employment with the Company. The restricted shares vest over a period of approximately
three
years, beginning in January 2017 and ending with the final vesting in January 2020. The fair value of each restricted stock grant is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. There was approximately
$1.3 million
and
$1.7 million
in unrecognized compensation expense remaining related to these awards as of
March 25, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, respectively. In the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and the first quarter of fiscal 2016, approximately
$0.2 million
and
$0.1 million
was recorded as compensation expense related to these awards, respectively.
In February 2017, as part of Mr. Recatto's employment agreement, the Company granted a restricted stock award of
500,000
shares of common stock, which vests through January 2021 in an amount based on the vesting table below, with the common stock price increase to be determined based on the increase in the price of the Company’s common stock (if any) from the closing price of the common stock as reported by Nasdaq on the employment commencement date (
$15.00
) and the common stock price on the potential vesting date (determined by using the weighted average closing price of a share of the Company's common stock for
the 90-day period ending on the vesting date). If the stock price does not increase by
$5
, then
no
shares shall vest. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded
$0.2 million
of compensation expense related to this award. In the future, the Company expects to recognize compensation expense of approximately
$3.4 million
over the remaining requisite service period, which ends January 31, 2021. The fair value of this restricted stock award as of the grant date was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Key assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the grant date fair value of this award are a risk-free rate of
1.70%
percent, expected dividend yield of
zero
, and an expected volatility assumption of
41.73%
percent.
