Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Description of Business
Basis of Presentation
As used in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, the terms “Quaker,”
“Quaker Houghton,”
the
“Company,”
“we,” and “our” refer to Quaker Chemical Corporation (doing
business as Quaker Houghton), its subsidiaries, and
associated companies, unless the context otherwise requires.
As used in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements,
the term Legacy Quaker refers to the Company prior
to the closing of its combination with Houghton International,
Inc. (“Houghton”)
(herein referred to as the “Combination”).
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
are unaudited and have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for
interim financial
reporting and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) regulations.
Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or
omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are
necessary for a fair statement of the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods.
The results for the
six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.
These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31,
2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”).
Description of Business
The Company was organized in 1918, incorporated
as a Pennsylvania business corporation in 1930, and in August
2019
completed the Combination with Houghton to form
Quaker Houghton.
Quaker Houghton is the global leader in industrial process
fluids.
With a presence around the world,
including operations in over
25
countries, the Company’s customers
include thousands of
the world’s most advanced
and specialized steel, aluminum, automotive, aerospace,
offshore, can, mining, and metalworking
companies.
Quaker Houghton develops, produces, and markets a broad range
of formulated chemical specialty products and offe
rs
chemical management services (which the Company refers
to as “Fluidcare”) for various heavy industrial and manufacturing
applications throughout its
four
segments: Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”);
Asia/Pacific; and Global Specialty
Businesses.
Hyper-inflationary economies
Based on various indices or index compilations being
used to monitor inflation in Argentina as well as economic
instability,
effective July 1, 2018, Argentina’s
economy was considered hyper-inflationary under U.S.
GAAP.
As of, and for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2021, the Company's Argentine
subsidiaries represented less than
1
% of the Company’s consolidated
total
assets and net sales, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company
recorded $
0.1
million and $
0.3
million,
respectively, of remeasurement
losses associated with the applicable currency conversions related
to Argentina.
Comparatively,
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the
Company recorded less than $
0.1
million and $
0.1
million,
respectively, of
remeasurement losses associated with the applicable currency
conversions
related to Argentina.
These losses were
recorded within foreign exchange losses, net, which
is a component of other income (expense), net, in the Company’s
Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
COVID-19
Management continues to monitor the impact that the COVID-19
pandemic is having on the Company,
the overall specialty
chemical industry,
and the economies and markets in which the Company operates.
The full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic
related business and travel restrictions and changes to
business and consumer behavior intended to reduce its spread are
uncertain as of
the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Report”) as COVID-19
and the responses of
governmental authorities continue to evolve globally.
Further, management continues to
evaluate how COVID-19-related circumstances, such as remote
work arrangements, affect
financial reporting processes, internal control over financial
reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures.
While the
circumstances have presented and are expected to continue
to present challenges, at this time, Management does not believe that
COVID-19 has had a material impact on financial reporting
processes, internal control over financial reporting,
and disclosure
controls and procedures.

The Company cannot reasonably estimate the magnitude
of the effects these conditions will have on the Company’s
operations in
the future as they are subject to significant uncertainties
relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus,
the incidence and
severity of the symptoms, the duration or resurgences
of the outbreak including the impact of new variants, the global
availability and
acceptance of vaccines as well as their efficacy,
the length of the travel restrictions and business closures imposed by
governments of
impacted countries, and the economic response by governments
of impacted countries, all of which continue to evolve.
To the extent
that the Company’s customers and
suppliers continue to be significantly and adversely impacted by
COVID-19, this
could reduce the availability,
or result in delays, of materials or supplies to or from
the Company, which in
turn could significantly
interrupt the Company’s
business operations.
Such impacts could grow and become more significant to the
Company’s operations
and the Company’s liquidity
or financial position.
Therefore, given the speed and frequency of continuously
evolving developments
with respect to this pandemic, the Company cannot reasonably
estimate the magnitude or the full extent to which COVID-19
may
impact the Company’s results
of operations, liquidity or financial position.
Note 2 – Business Acquisitions
2021 Acquisitions
In June 2021, the Company acquired certain assets for its chemical
maskants product line in the Global Specialty Businesses
reportable segment for
2.3
million EUR or approximately $
2.8
million.
The Company accounted for the acquisition using the asset
acquisition method under ASC 805,
Business Combinations
.
In February 2021, the Company acquired a tin-plating
solutions business for the steel end market for approximately $
25
million.
This acquisition is part of each of the Company’s
geographic reportable segments.
The Company allocated $
19.6
million of the
purchase price to intangible assets, comprised of $
18.3
million of customer relationships, to be amortized over
19 years
; $
0.9
million
of existing product technology to be amortized over
14 years
; and $
0.4
million of a licensed trademark to be amortized over
3 years
.
In addition, the Company recorded $
5.0
million of goodwill related to expected value not allocated
to other acquired assets, all of
which is expected to be tax deductible.
As of June 30, 2021, the allocation of the purchase price has not
been finalized and the
one
year
measurement period has not ended.
Further adjustments may be necessary as a result of the Company’s
on-going assessment of
additional information related to the fair value of assets acquired
and liabilities assumed.
Additionally, in February
2021, the Company acquired a
38
% ownership interest in a Germany-based, high-tech
provider of
coolant control and delivery systems for approximately
1.4
million EUR or approximately $
1.7
million.
The Company recorded this
investment as an equity method investment within
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The results of operations of the acquired assets and businesses subsequent
to the respective acquisition dates are included in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as of June
30, 2021.
Applicable transaction expenses associated with these
acquisitions are included in Combination, integration
and other acquisition-related expenses in the Company’s
Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Certain pro forma and other information is not presented, as the
operations of the acquired
assets and businesses are not considered material to the
overall operations of the Company for the periods presented.
Previous Acquisitions
In December 2020,
the Company completed its acquisition of Coral Chemical Company
(“Coral”), a privately held, U.S.-based
provider of metal finishing fluid solutions.
The acquisition provides technical expertise and product solutions
for pre-treatment,
metalworking and wastewater treatment applications
to the beverage cans and general industrial end markets.
The original purchase
price was approximately $
54.1
million, subject to routine and customary post-closing adjustments related
to working capital and net
indebtedness levels.
The Company anticipates finalizing its post-closing adjustments
for the Coral acquisition during 2021 and
currently estimates it will receive approximately $
0.1
million to settle such adjustments.

Measurement period adjustments recorded during the first
six months of 2021 include certain adjustments related
to refining
original estimates for assets and liabilities for certain
acquired finance leases, as well the adjustment to reflect the expected
settlement
of post-closing working capital and net indebtedness true
ups to the original purchase price.
As of June 30, 2021,
the allocation of the
purchase price for Coral has not been finalized and the
one year
measurement period has not ended.
Further adjustments may be
necessary as a result of the Company’s
on-going assessment of additional information related to the
fair value of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed.
In May 2020, the Company acquired Tel
Nordic ApS (“TEL”), a company that specializes in lubricants and engineering
primarily
in high pressure aluminum die casting for its Europe,
Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) reportable segment.
Consideration paid was
in the form of a convertible promissory note in the amount
of
20.0
million DKK, or approximately $
2.9
million, which was
subsequently converted into shares of the Company’s
common stock.
An adjustment to the purchase price of approximately
0.4
million DKK, or less than $
0.1
million, was made as a result of finalizing a post-closing
settlement in the second quarter of 2020.
The
Company allocated approximately $
2.4
million of the purchase price to intangible assets to be amortized
over
17 years
.
In addition,
the Company recorded approximately $
0.5
million of goodwill, related to expected value not allocated to
other acquired assets, none
of which will be tax deductible.
As of June 30, 2021, the allocation of the purchase price of TEL
was finalized and the
one year
measurement period ended.
In March 2020, the Company acquired the remaining
49
% ownership interest in one of its South African affiliates,
Quaker
Chemical South Africa Limited (“QSA”) for
16.7
million ZAR, or approximately $
1.0
million, from its joint venture partner PQ
Holdings South Africa.
QSA is a part of the Company’s
Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) reportable segment.
As this
acquisition was a change in an existing controlling ownership,
the Company recorded $
0.7
million of excess purchase price over the
carrying value of the noncontrolling interest in Capital in
excess of par value.
In October 2019, the Company completed its acquisition
of the operating divisions of Norman Hay plc (“Norman
Hay”), a private
U.K. company that provides specialty chemicals, operating
equipment, and services to industrial end markets.
The original purchase
price was
80.0
million GBP,
on a cash-free and debt-free basis, subject to routine
and customary post-closing adjustments related to
working capital and net indebtedness levels.
The Company finalized its post-closing adjustments for
the Norman Hay acquisition and
paid approximately
2.5
million GBP during the first quarter of 2020 to settle such adjustments.

Note 3 – Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Adopted
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
issued Account Standards Update (“ASU”)
ASU 2019-12
, Income Taxes
(Topic
740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
in December 2019 to simplify the accounting for income taxes.
The
guidance within this accounting standard update
removes certain exceptions, including the exception to the
incremental approach for
certain intra-period tax allocations, to the requirement
to recognize or not recognize certain deferred tax liabilities for
equity method
investments and foreign subsidiaries, and to the general
methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period
when a year-to-
date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year.
Further, the guidance simplifies the accounting
related to franchise taxes, the step
up in tax basis for goodwill, current and deferred tax
expense, and codification improvements for income taxes related
to employee
stock ownership plans.
The guidance is effective for annual and interim
periods beginning after December 15, 2020.
The Company
adopted this standard on a prospective basis, effective
January 1, 2021.
There was no cumulative effect of adoption recorded
within
retained earnings on January 1, 2021.
The FASB issued
ASU 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic
848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate
Reform on
Financial Reporting
in March 2020.
The FASB subsequently
issued ASU 2021-01,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic
848): Scope
in
January 2021 which clarified the guidance but did
not materially change the guidance or its applicability to
the Company.
The
amendments provide temporary optional expedients and
exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications,
hedging
relationships and other transactions to ease the potential
accounting and financial reporting burden associated with transitioning
away
from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued,
including the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LI
BOR”).
ASU 2020-04 is
effective for the Company as of March 12,
2020 and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022.
As of June 30, 2021, the
expedients provided in ASU 2020-04 do not presently
impact the Company; however, the Company
will continue to monitor for
potential impacts on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 4 – Business Segments
The Company’s operating
segments, which are consistent with its reportable segments,
reflect the structure of the Company’s
internal organization, the method by which
the Company’s resources are allocated
and the manner by which the chief operating
decision maker assesses the Company’s
performance.
The Company has
four
reportable segments: (i) Americas; (ii) EMEA; (iii)
Asia/Pacific; and (iv) Global Specialty Businesses.
The three geographic segments are composed of the net
sales and operations in
each respective region, excluding net sales and operations
managed globally by the Global Specialty Businesses segment, which
includes the Company’s
container, metal finishing, mining,
offshore, specialty coatings, specialty grease and
Norman Hay businesses.
Segment operating earnings for each of the Company’s
reportable segments are comprised of the segment’s
net sales less directly
related cost of goods sold (“COGS”) and selling, general
and administrative expenses (“SG&A”).
Operating expenses not directly
attributable to the net sales of each respective segment,
such as certain corporate and administrative costs, Combination, integration
and other acquisition-related expenses, and Restructuring and related
charges, are not included in segment operating
earnings.
Other
items not specifically identified with the Company’s
reportable segments include interest expense, net and other
income (expense),
net.

Note 5 – Net Sales and Revenue Recognition
Business Description
The Company develops, produces, and markets a broad
range of formulated chemical specialty products and offers
chemical
management services (“Fluidcare”) for various heavy
industrial and manufacturing applications throughout its four
segments.
A
significant portion of the Company’s
revenues are realized from the sale of process fluids and services
made directly to manufacturers
through its own employees and its Fluidcare programs,
with the balance being handled through distributors and
agents.
As part of the Company’s
Fluidcare business, certain third-party product sales to customers are
managed by the Company.
Where
the Company acts as a principal, revenues are recognized
on a gross reporting basis at the selling price negotiated with
its customers.
Where the Company acts as an agent, revenue is recognized on
a net reporting basis at the amount of the administrative fee earned
by
the Company for ordering the goods.
The Company transferred third-party products under arrangements recognized
on a net reporting
basis of $
16.7
million and $
34.5
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively,
and $
6.2
million and $
18.7
million for the three and six months ended June 30,
2020, respectively.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s
2020 Form 10-K, during 2020, the Company’s
five largest customers (each composed
of multiple subsidiaries or divisions with semiautonomous
purchasing authority) accounted for approximately
10
% of consolidated net
sales, with its largest customer accounting
for approximately
3
% of consolidated net sales.
Revenue Recognition Model
The Company applies the five-step model in the FASB’s
guidance, which requires the Company to: (i) identify
the contract with a
customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in
the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the
transaction
price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
(v) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance
obligation.
Refer to the Company’s 2020
Form 10-K for additional information on the Company’s
revenue recognition policies,
including its practical expedients and accounting policy
elections.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
As previously disclosed in the Company’s
2020 Form 10-K, during 2020, the Company adopted, as required,
an accounting
standard update related to the accounting and disclosure
of credit losses effective January 1, 2020.
The Company recognizes an
allowance for credit losses, which represents the portion
of its trade accounts receivable that the Company does not expect
to collect
over the contractual life, considering past events and
reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions.
The
Company’s allowance
for credit losses on its trade accounts receivables is based on
specific collectability facts and circumstances for
each outstanding receivable and customer,
the aging of outstanding receivables, and the associated collection
risk the Company
estimates for certain past due aging categories, and
also, the general risk to all outstanding accounts receivable based on historical
amounts determined to be uncollectible.
The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet
credit exposure related to its customers.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
The Company recognizes a contract asset or receivable
on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet when the Company
performs a service or transfers a good in advance
of receiving consideration.
A receivable is the Company’s
right to consideration that
is unconditional and only the passage of time is required
before payment of that consideration is due.
A contract asset is the
Company’s right to consideration
in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred
to a customer.
The Company
had no material contract assets recorded on its Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2021 or December
31, 2020.
A contract liability is recognized when the Company
receives consideration, or if it has the unconditional right
to receive
consideration, in advance of performance.
A contract liability is the Company’s
obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer
for which the Company has received consideration,
or a specified amount of consideration is due, from the customer.
The Company’s
contract liabilities primarily represent deferred revenue
recorded for customer payments received by the Company
prior to the
Company satisfying the associated performance obligation.
Deferred revenues are presented within other current liabilities
in the
Company’s Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company had approximately $
4.3
million and $
4.0
million of deferred
revenue as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020,
respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company satisfied
all
of the associated performance obligations and recognized
into revenue the advance payments received and recorded
as of December
31, 2020.
Disaggregated Revenue
The following tables disaggregate the Company’s
net sales by segment, geographic region, customer industry,

Note 6 – Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease
at its inception.
This determination generally depends on whether the
arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an
identified fixed asset explicitly or implicitly for a period of
time in exchange for
consideration.
Control of an underlying asset is conveyed if the Company
obtains the rights to direct the use of, and obtains
substantially all of the economic benefits from the use
of, the underlying asset.
Lease expense for variable leases and short-term
leases is recognized when the obligation is incurred.
The Company has operating leases for certain facilities, vehicles
and machinery and equipment with remaining lease terms up
to
10 years
.
In addition, the Company has certain land use leases with remaining
lease terms up to
94 years
.
The lease term for all of the
Company’s leases includes
the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods
covered by an option to extend the lease
that the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise.
Operating leases are included in right of use lease assets
, other current
liabilities and long-term lease liabilities
on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Right of use lease assets and liabilities are
recognized at each lease’s
commencement date based on the present value of its lease payments
over its respective lease term.
The
Company uses the stated borrowing rate for a lease when
readily determinable.
When a stated borrowing rate is not available in a
lease agreement, the Company uses its incremental borrowing
rate based on information available at the lease’s
commencement date
to determine the present value of its lease payments.
In determining the incremental borrowing rate used to present
value each of its
leases, the Company considers certain information
including fully secured borrowing rates readily available to the Company
and its
subsidiaries.
The Company has immaterial finance leases, which are
included in property, plant
and equipment, current portion of
long-term debt and long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
Operating lease expense for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2021 was $
3.6
million and $
7.2
million, respectively.
Comparatively, operating
lease expense for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $
3.5
million and $
6.9
million, respectively.
Short-term lease expense for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2021 was $
0.2
million and $
0.5
million, respectively.
Comparatively, short-term
lease expense for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $
0.4
million and $
0.9
million, respectively.
The Company has
no
material variable lease
costs or sublease income for the three or six months ended
June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Cash paid for operating leases during the six months ended
June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $
7.1
million and $
6.8
million,
respectively.
The Company recorded new right of use lease assets and associated lease liabilities
of $

Note 7 – Restructuring and Related Activities
The Company’s management approved a global restructuring plan (the “QH Program”) as part of its plan to realize certain cost
synergies associated with the Combination in the third quarter of 2019. The QH Program includes restructuring and associated
severance costs to reduce total headcount by approximately
400
people globally, as well as plans for the closure of certain
manufacturing and non-manufacturing facilities. The exact timing and total costs associated with the QH Program will depend on a
number of factors and is subject to change; however, the Company currently expects reduction in headcount and site closures to
continue to occur throughout 2021 and into 2022 under the QH Program and estimates that anticipated cost synergies realized from the
QH Program will approximate one-times the restructuring costs incurred. Employee separation benefits will vary depending on local
regulations within certain foreign countries and will include severance and other benefits.
All costs incurred to date relate to severance costs to reduce
headcount as well as costs to close certain facilities and are
recorded
in Restructuring and related charges in the
Company’s Condensed Statements
of Operations.
As described in Note 4 of Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, restructuring
and related charges are not included in
the Company’s calculation of
reportable segments’ measure of operating earnings
and therefore these costs are not reviewed by or recorded to
reportable segments.
Activity in the Company’s
accrual for restructuring under the QH Program for the six months ended
June 30, 2021 is as follows:

Stock Options
During the first six months of 2021, the Company granted
stock options under its long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”)
that are
subject only to time-based vesting over a
three
year period.
For the purposes of determining the fair value of stock
option awards, the
Company used a Black-Scholes option pricing model and
which primarily used the assumptions set forth in the table below:
Number of options granted
25,250
Dividend yield
0.85
%
Expected volatility
37.33
%
Risk-free interest rate
0.60
%
Expected term (years)
4.0

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- Continued
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts,
unless otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
15
The fair value of these options is amortized on a straight
-line basis over the vesting period.
As of June 30, 2021,
unrecognized
compensation expense related to all stock options
granted was $
2.4
million, to be recognized over a weighted average remaining
period of
2.3
years.
Restricted Stock Awards
and Restricted Stock Units
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company
granted
17,692
non-vested restricted shares and
2,791
non-vested
restricted stock units under its LTIP,
which are subject to time-based vesting, generally over a
three year
period.
The fair value of
these grants is based on the trading price of the Company’s
common stock on the date of grant.
The Company adjusts the grant date
fair value of these awards for expected forfeitures based
on historical experience.
As of June 30, 2021, unrecognized compensation
expense related to the non-vested restricted shares was $
6.3
million, to be recognized over a weighted average remaining
period of
1.9
years, and unrecognized compensation expense
related to non-vested restricted stock units was $
1.1
million, to be recognized over a
weighted average remaining period of
2.1
years.
Performance Stock Units
During the first six months of 2021, the Company granted
performance-dependent stock awards (“PSUs”) as a component of
its
LTIP,
which will be settled in a certain number of shares subject to market
-based and time-based vesting conditions.
The number of
fully vested shares that may ultimately be issued as settlement
for each award may range from
0
% up to
200
% of the target award,
subject to the achievement of the Company’s
total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the performance
of the Company’s peer
group, the S&P Midcap 400 Materials group.
The service period required for the PSUs is three years and the
TSR measurement
period for the PSUs is from January 1 of the year of grant
through December 31 of the year prior to issuance of the shares upon
settlement.
Compensation expense for PSUs is measured based on
their grant date fair value and is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the
three year
vesting period.
The grant-date fair value of the PSUs granted during
the first six months of 2021 was estimated using a
Monte Carlo simulation on the grant date and using the
following assumptions: (i) a risk-free rate of
0.29
%; (ii) an expected term of
3.0
years; and (iii) a three year daily historical volatility for each of
the companies in the peer group, including Quaker Houghton.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company estimates that it will issue
approximately
14,698
fully vested shares as of the applicable
settlement date of all outstanding PSUs awards based on
the conditions of the PSUs and performance to date for
each award.
As of
June 30, 2021, there was approximately $
4.2
million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs, which
the Company
expects to recognize over a weighted-average period
of
2.3
years.
Annual Incentive Plan
The Company maintains an Annual Incentive Plan
(“AIP”), which may be settled in cash or a certain number of
shares subject to
performance-based and time-based vesting conditions.
As of June 30, 2020, it was the Company’s
intention to settle the 2020 AIP in
shares, and therefore, expense associated with the AIP in
2020 was recorded as a component of share-based compensation
expense.
In
the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company determined that it
would settle the 2020 AIP in cash.
Therefore, the share-based
compensation associated with the AIP during the year
ended December 31, 2020 was reclassified from a component
of share-based
compensation expense to incentive compensation.
This determination and conclusion had no impact on the
classification of AIP
expense within the Company’s
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for
the periods as both are a component of SG&A.
As of June 30, 2021, it is the Company’s
intention to settle the 2021 AIP in cash.
Defined Contribution Plan
The Company has a 401(k) plan with an employer
match covering a majority of its U.S. employees.
The Company matches
50
%
of the first
6
% of compensation that is contributed to the plan, with a maximum
matching contribution of
3
% of compensation.
Additionally, the
plan provides for non-elective nondiscretionary contributions
on behalf of participants who have completed one year
of service equal to
3
% of the eligible participants’ compensation.
Beginning in April 2020 and continuing through March 2021,
the
Company matched both non-elective and elective 401(k)
contributions in fully vested shares of the Company’s
common stock rather
than cash.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, there were
no
matching contributions in stock.
For the six months ended June
30, 2021, total contributions were $
1.5
million and for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,
total contributions were
$
1.2
million.

As disclosed in the Company’s
2020 Form 10-K, in the fourth quarter of 2018, the
Company began the process of terminating its
legacy Quaker non-contributory U.S. pension plan
(“Legacy Quaker U.S. Pension Plan”).
During the third quarter of 2019, the
Company received a favorable termination determination
letter from the Internal Revenue Service (“I.R.S.”) and completed the
Legacy Quaker U.S. Pension Plan termination during the
first quarter of 2020.
In order to terminate the Legacy Quaker U.S. Pension
Plan in accordance with I.R.S. and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
requirements, the Company was required to fully fund the
Legacy Quaker U.S. Pension Plan on a termination basis
and the amount necessary to do so was approximately $
1.8
million, subject to
final true up adjustments,
which were completed in the third quarter of 2020.
In addition, the Company recorded a non-cash pension
settlement charge at plan termination of
approximately $
22.7
million.
This settlement charge included the immediate recognition
into
expense of the related unrecognized losses within accumulated
other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) on the balance
sheet as
of the plan termination date.
Employer Contributions
As of June 30, 2021, $
2.1
million and $
0.1
million of contributions have been made to the Company’s
U.S. and foreign pension
plans and its other postretirement benefit plans, respectively
.
Taking into consideration
current minimum cash contribution
requirements, the Company currently expects to make
full year cash contributions of approximately $
6
million to its U.S. and foreign
pension plans and less than $
1
million to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2021
.

Note 11 – Income Taxes
and Uncertain Income Tax
Positions
The Company’s effective
tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were
an expense of
32.2
% and
28.4
%,
respectively, compared
to an expense of
57.9
% and a benefit of
20.7
% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
The Company’s current
year effective tax rates were largely
impacted by the sale of certain held-for-sale real
property assets related to
the Combination,
changes in foreign tax credit valuation allowances, tax law changes
in a foreign jurisdiction and the income tax
impacts of certain non-income tax credits recorded
by the Company’s Brazilian
subsidiaries described in Note 19 of Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Comparatively, the prior
year effective tax rates were impacted by the
tax effect of
certain one-time pre-tax losses as well as certain tax charges
and benefits in the prior year period including those related
to changes in
foreign tax credit valuation allowances, tax law changes in
a foreign jurisdiction, changes in uncertain tax positions and
the tax
impacts of the Company’s
termination of its Legacy Quaker U.S. Pension Plan.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a deferred
tax liability of $
5.9
million, which primarily represents the Company’s
estimate of non-U.S. taxes it will incur to repatriate
certain foreign earnings to the U.S.
The balance as of June 30, 2021 was $
6.5
million.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s
cumulative liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits was $
24.0
million, an increase of
$
1.8
million from the cumulative liability accrued as of December 31, 2020.
The Company continues to recognize interest and penalties
associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of
taxes on
income (loss) before equity in net income of associated
companies in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The
Company recognized an expense for interest of approximately
$
0.2
million and $
0.2
million and a benefit of less than $
0.1
million and
$
0.2
million for penalties in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,
respectively, and recognized
an expense of $
0.6
million and $
0.6
million for interest and an expense of $
0.6
million and $
0.5
million
for penalties in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
,
respectively.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had accrued $
3.2
million for cumulative interest and $
3.6
million for cumulative penalties in its
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, compared
to $
3.0
million for cumulative interest and $
3.9
million for cumulative penalties
accrued at December 31, 2020.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the
Company recognized decreases of $
0.8
million and $
1.5
million, respectively,
in its cumulative liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits
due to the expiration of the
applicable statutes of limitations for certain tax years.
The Company estimates that during the year ending December
31, 2021 it will reduce its cumulative liability for gross
unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $
1.5
million due to the expiration of the statute of limitations with regard
to certain tax
positions.
This estimated reduction in the cumulative liability for unrecognized
tax benefits does not consider any increase in liability
for unrecognized tax benefits with regard to existing tax
positions or any increase in cumulative liability for unrecognized
tax benefits
with regard to new tax positions for the year ending December
31, 2021.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income
tax, as well as the income tax of various state and foreign
tax jurisdictions.
Tax years that remain
subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions include Italy
from
2006
, Brazil from
2011
,
the Netherlands and China from
2015
, Mexico, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom from
2016
, Canada and the U.S. from
2017
,
India from fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018 and ending
March 31,
2019
, and various U.S. state tax jurisdictions from
2011
.
As previously reported, the Italian tax authorities have assessed additional tax due from the Company’s subsidiary, Quaker Italia
S.r.l., relating to the tax years
2007
through
2015
. The Company has filed for competent authority relief from these assessments under
the Mutual Agreement Procedures (“MAP”) of the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development for all years except
2007. In 2020, the respective tax authorities in Italy, Spain and the Netherlands reached agreement with respect to the MAP
proceedings which the Company has accepted.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company has received $
1.6
million in refunds from the
Netherlands and Spain and expects to pay $
2.6
million due to Italy in the second half of 2021.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company
believes it has adequate reserves for the remaining
uncertain tax positions related to 2007.
Houghton Italia, S.r.l
is also involved in a corporate income tax audit with the Italian tax
authorities covering tax years
2014
through
2018
.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company has a $
5.6
million reserve for uncertain tax positions relating to matters related
to
this audit.
Since the reserve relates to the tax periods prior to August
1, 2019, the tax liability was established through purchase
accounting related to the Combination.
The Company has also submitted an indemnification claim against
funds held in escrow by
Houghton’s former owners
and as a result, a corresponding $
5.6
million indemnification receivable has also been established through
purchase accounting.
Houghton Deutschland GmbH is also under audit by
the German tax authorities for the tax years
2015
through
2017
.
Based on
preliminary audit findings, primarily related to
transfer pricing, the Company has recorded reserves for $
0.9
million as of June 30,
2021.
Of this amount, $
0.8
million relates to tax periods prior to the Combination and
therefore the Company has submitted an
indemnification claim with Houghton’s
former owners for any tax liabilities arising pre-Combination.
As a result, a corresponding
$
0.8
million indemnification receivable has also been established to
offset the $
0.8
million tax liability.

The calculated amount of anti-diluted shares not included
was
6,793
and
2,952
for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2021,
respectively.
All of the Company’s potentially
dilutive shares for the three and six months ended June
30, 2020 are anti-dilutive and not included in the dilutive
loss per share calculations because of the Company’s
net loss during the
periods.
Note 13 – Restricted Cash
Prior to December 2020, the Company had restricted cash recorded in other assets related to proceeds from an inactive subsidiary
of the Company which previously executed separate settlement and release agreements with two of its insurance carriers for an
original total value of $
35.0
million.
The proceeds of both settlements were restricted and could
only be used to pay claims and costs
of defense associated with the subsidiary’s
asbestos litigation.
The proceeds of the settlement and release agreements
were deposited
into interest bearing accounts that earned less than
$
0.1
million offset by $
0.5
million of net payments during the six months ended
June 30, 2020.
Due to the restricted nature of the proceeds, a corresponding deferred
credit was established in other non-current
liabilities for an equal and offsetting amount
that continued until the restrictions lapsed.
As disclosed in the Company’s
2020 Form
10-K, during December 2020, the restrictions ended
on these previously received insurance settlements and the
Company transferred
the cash into an operating account.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash,

Comparatively,
the Company recorded $

The Company has four indefinite-lived intangible
assets totaling $
205.1
million as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020,
including $
204.0
million of indefinite-lived intangible assets for trademarks and
tradename associated with the Combination.
Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives are
not amortized and are required to be assessed at least annually
for
impairment.
The Company completes its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible asset impairment test during the fourth
quarter of each year.
The Company continuously evaluates if triggering events indicate
a possible impairment in one or more of its
reporting units or indefinite-lived or long-lived assets.
The Company previously disclosed in its 2020 Form 10-K
that as of March 31, 2020, the Company concluded that the
impact of
COVID-19 did not represent a triggering event with
regards to the Company’s
reporting units or indefinite-lived and long-lived assets,
except for the Company’s
Houghton and Fluidcare trademarks and tradename indefinite
-lived intangible assets.
The determination of
estimated fair value of the Houghton and Fluidcare
trademarks and tradename indefinite-lived assets was based on a relief
from
royalty valuation method, which requires management’s
judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions,
including assumptions with respect to the weighted average
cost of capital (“WACC”)
and royalty rates, as well as revenue growth
rates and terminal growth rates.
In the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the impact of
COVID-19 driving a decrease in projected
legacy Houghton net sales during that year and the impact
of the sales decline on projected future legacy Houghton
net sales as well as
an increase in the WACC
assumption utilized in the quantitative impairment
assessment, the Company concluded that the estimated
fair values of the Houghton and Fluidcare trademarks
and tradename intangible assets were less than their carrying values.
As a
result, an impairment charge of $
38.0
million was recorded in the first quarter of 2020 to write down
the carrying values of these
intangible assets to their estimated fair values.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company continued to evaluate all
potential triggering events, including the on-going impact
of COVID-
19 on the Company’s
operations, and the volatility and uncertainty in the economic outlook
as a result of COVID-19, to determine if
this indicated it was more likely than not that the carrying

The Company concluded that the impact of COVID-19 did not
represent a triggering
event as of June 30, 2021.
While the Company concluded that the impact of COVID-19 did not
represent a triggering event as of June
30, 2021, the Company will continue to evaluate the
impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s
current and projected results. If the
current economic conditions worsen or projections
of the timeline for recovery are significantly extended, then
the Company may
conclude in the future that the impact from COVID-19 requires
the need to perform further interim quantitative impairment tests,
which could result in additional impairment charges
in the future.

Credit facilities
The Company’s primary
credit facility (as amended, the “Credit Facility”) is comprised
of a $
400.0
million multicurrency
revolver (the “Revolver”), a $
600.0
million term loan (the “U.S. Term
Loan”), each with the Company as borrower,
and a $
150.0
million (as of August 1, 2019) Euro equivalent term loan (the
“EURO Term Loan”
and together with the “U.S. Term
Loan”, the
“Term Loans”)
with Quaker Chemical B.V.,
a Dutch subsidiary of the Company as borrower,
each with a
five year
term maturing in
August 2024.
Subject to the consent of the administrative
agent and certain other conditions, the Company may designate additional
borrowers.
The maximum amount available under the Credit Facility can be
increased by up to $
300.0
million at the Company’s
request if there are lenders who agree to accept additional
commitments and the Company has satisfied certain other
conditions.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a base
rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin based upon
the Company’s
consolidated net leverage ratio.
There are LIBOR replacement provisions that contemplate a further
amendment if and when LIBOR
ceases to be reported.
The variable interest rate incurred on the outstanding borrowings under
the Credit Facility as of and during the
six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately
1.6
%.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under
the Credit
Facility, the Company
is required to pay a commitment fee ranging from
0.2
% to
0.3
% depending on the Company’s
consolidated net
leverage ratio to the lenders under the Revolver in
respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder.
The Company has unused
capacity under the Revolver of approximately $
206
million, net of bank letters of credit of approximately $
4
million, as of June 30,
2021.
The Credit Facility is subject to certain financial and other covenants. The Company’s initial consolidated net debt to
consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio could not exceed
4.25
to 1, with step downs in the permitted ratio over the term of the Credit
Facility.
As of June 30, 2021, the consolidated net debt to adjusted
EBITDA may not exceed
4.00
to 1.
The Company’s consolidated
adjusted EBITDA to interest expense ratio cannot
be less than
3.0
to 1 over the term of the agreement.
The Credit Facility also
prohibits the payment of cash dividends if the Company
is in default or if the amount of the dividend paid annually
exceeds the greater
of $
50.0
million and
20
% of consolidated adjusted EBITDA unless the ratio of consolidated
net debt to consolidated adjusted
EBITDA is less than
2.0
to 1, in which case there is no such limitation on amount.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the
Company was in compliance with all of the Credit Facility covenants.
The Term Loans have
quarterly principal amortization during
their
five year
terms, with
5.0
% amortization of the principal balance due in years
1 and 2,
7.5
% in year 3, and
10.0
% in years 4 and 5,
with the remaining principal amount due at maturity.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company made
quarterly
amortization payments related to the Term
Loans totaling $
19.1
million.
The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of the
Quaker Chemical Corporation

Company’s domestic subsidiaries
and is secured by first priority liens on substantially all of
the assets of the Company and the
domestic subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain customary exclusions.
The obligations of the Dutch borrower are guaranteed only
by certain foreign subsidiaries on an unsecured basis.
The Credit Facility required the Company to fix its variable
interest rates on at least
20
% of its total Term Loans.
In order to
satisfy this requirement as well as to manage the
Company’s exposure to variable
interest rate risk associated with the Credit Facility,
in November 2019, the Company entered into $
170.0
million notional amounts of three year interest rate swaps at a base
rate of
1.64
%
plus an applicable margin as provided in the
Credit Facility, based on
the Company’s consolidated net
leverage ratio.
At the time the
Company entered into the swaps, and as of June 30,
2021, the aggregate interest rate on the swaps, including the
fixed base rate plus
an applicable margin, was
3.1
%.
See Note 18 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company capitalized $
23.7
million of certain third-party debt issuance costs in connection
with executing the Credit Facility.
Approximately $
15.5
million of the capitalized costs were attributed to the Term
Loans and recorded as a direct reduction of long-
term debt on the Company’s
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Approximately $
8.3
million of the capitalized costs were
attributed to the Revolver and recorded within other assets on
the Company’s Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
These
capitalized costs are being amortized into interest expense
over the five year term of the Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2021 and
December 31, 2020, the Company had $
9.6
million and $
11.1
million, respectively,
of debt issuance costs recorded as a reduction of
long-term debt.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company
had $
5.1
million and $
5.9
million, respectively, of
debt
issuance costs recorded within other assets.
Industrial development bonds
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company
had fixed rate, industrial development authority bonds totaling
$
10.0
million in principal amount due in
2028
.
These bonds have similar covenants to the Credit Facility noted above.
Bank lines of credit and other
debt obligations
The Company has certain unsecured bank lines of credit
and discounting facilities in one of its foreign subsidiaries, which
are not
collateralized.
The Company’s other debt
obligations primarily consist of certain domestic and foreign
low interest rate or interest-
free municipality-related loans, local credit facilities of
certain foreign subsidiaries and capital lease obligations.
Total unused
capacity under these arrangements as of June 30, 2021
was approximately $
40
million.
In addition to the bank letters of credit described in the “Credit facilities” subsection above, the Company’s only other off-balance
sheet arrangements include certain financial and other guarantees. The Company’s total bank letters of credit and guarantees
outstanding as of June 30, 2021 were approximately $
7
million.
The Company incurred the following debt related expenses
included within Interest expense, net, in the Condensed
Consolidated
Statements of Operations:

at which the Company’s
total debt were recorded are not materially different
from their fair market value.

Note 18 – Hedging Activities
In order to satisfy certain requirements of the Credit
Facility as well as to manage the Company’s
exposure to variable interest
rate risk associated with the Credit Facility,
in November 2019, the Company entered into $
170.0
million notional amounts of
three
year
interest rate swaps.
See Note 15 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
These interest rate swaps are
designated as cash flow hedges and, as such, the contracts
are marked-to-market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains
or
losses are included in AOCI to the extent effective
and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the
transaction
affects earnings or it becomes probable that
the forecasted transaction will not occur.
The balance sheet classification and fair values of the
Company’s derivative instruments,
which are Level 2 measurements, are as

Interest rate swaps are entered into with a limited number
of counterparties, each of which allows for net settlement
of all
contracts through a single payment in a single currency
in the event of a default on or termination of any one
contract.
As such, in
accordance with the Company’s
accounting policy,
these derivative instruments are recorded on a net basis within
the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies
The Company previously disclosed in its 2020 Form 10-K
that AC Products, Inc. (“ACP”), a wholly owned subsidiary,
has been
operating a groundwater treatment system to hydraulically
contain groundwater contamination emanating from ACP’s
site, the
principal contaminant of which is perchloroethylene.
As of June 30, 2021, ACP believes it is close to meeting the
conditions for
closure of the groundwater treatment system, but continues
to operate this system while in discussions with the relevant
authorities.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company believes that the range
of potential-known liabilities associated with the balance
of the ACP water
remediation program is approximately $
0.1
million to $
1.0
million.
The low and high ends of the range are based on the length of
operation of the treatment system as determined
by groundwater modeling.
Costs of operation include the operation and maintenance
of the extraction well, groundwater monitoring and program
management.
The Company previously disclosed in its 2020 Form 10-K
that an inactive subsidiary of the Company that was acquired
in 1978
sold certain products containing asbestos, primarily
on an installed basis, and is among the defendants in numerous
lawsuits alleging
injury due to exposure to asbestos.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,
there have been no significant changes to
the facts or circumstances of this previously disclosed matter,
aside from on-going claims and routine payments associated with
this
litigation.
Based on a continued analysis of the existing and anticipated
future claims against this subsidiary,
it is currently projected
that the subsidiary’s total
liability over the next 50 years for these claims is approximately
$
0.4
million (excluding costs of defense).
The Company previously disclosed in its 2020 Form 10-K
that it is party to certain environmental matters related to certain
domestic and foreign properties currently or previously
owned by Houghton.
These environmental matters primarily require the
Company to perform long-term monitoring as well as operating
and maintenance at each of the applicable sites.
During the three and
six months ended June 30, 2021, there have been no significant
changes to the facts or circumstances of these previously
disclosed
matters, aside from on-going monitoring and maintenance
activities and routine payments associated with each of the
sites.
The
Company continually evaluates its obligations related to such
matters, and based on historical costs incurred and projected
costs to be
incurred over the next 28 years, has estimated the present
value range of costs for all of the Houghton environmental
matters, on a
discounted basis, to be between approximately $
5.5
million and $
6.5
million as of June 30, 2021, for which $
6.0
million was accrued
within other accrued liabilities and other non-current
liabilities on the Company’s Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June
30, 2021.
Comparatively, as of December
31, 2020, the Company had $
6.0
million accrued for with respect to these matters.
The Company believes, although there can be no assurance
regarding the outcome of other unrelated environmental matters, that
it has made adequate accruals for costs associated with other
environmental problems of which it is aware.
Approximately $
0.1
million was accrued as of both June 30, 2021 and December
31, 2020,
to provide for such anticipated future environmental
assessments and remediation costs.
The Company previously disclosed in its 2020 Form 10-K
that one of the Company’s subsidiaries
received a notice of inspection
from a taxing authority in a country where certain
of its subsidiaries operate which related to a non-income (indirect)
tax that may be
applicable to certain products the subsidiary sells.
To date, the Company
has not
received any assessment from the authority related to
potential liabilities that may be due from the Company’s
subsidiary.
Consequently, there is substantial uncertainty
with respect to the
Company’s ultimate liability
with respect to this indirect tax, as the application of
this tax in its given market is ambiguous and
interpreted differently among other peer companies
and taxing authorities.
The Company, with assistance
from independent experts,
has performed an evaluation of the applicability of this
indirect tax to the Company’s
subsidiaries in this country.
During the six
months ended June 30, 2021 and through the date of
this Report, there have been no significant changes to
the facts or circumstances
of this previously disclosed matter,
aside from
on-going discussions between the Company and the
taxing authority related to this
notice of inspection and independent testing conducted by
third-party consultants at the direction of the Company and the taxing
authority to determine if the Company’s
products have contents which subject them to this indirect tax.
Based on all of the
information available to the Company at this time, as of
June 30, 2021, the Company has recorded a liability of $
1.8
million in other
accrued liabilities, which reflects the Company’s
current best estimate of probable indirect tax owed, including
interest and taking into
account applicable statutes of limitations.
Because these amounts in part relate to a Houghton entity
acquired in the Combination and
for periods prior to the Combination, the Company
has submitted an indemnification claim with Houghton’s
former owners related to
this potential indirect tax liability.
The Company recorded a receivable in other assets for approximately
$
1.1
million, which reflects
the amount of the initial recorded liability for which
the Company anticipates being indemnified.
As noted, the Company believes
there is substantial uncertainty with respect to its ultimate liability
given the ambiguous application of this indirect tax.
At this time,
the Company’s current
best estimate of a potential range for possible assessments, including
additional amounts that may be assessed
under these indirect tax laws, would be $
0
to approximately $
40
million, which is net of approximately $
11
million of estimated
income tax deductions and approximately $
22
million of applicable rights to indemnification from Houghton’s
former owners.
During the first six months of 2021, one of the Company’s
Brazilian subsidiaries received a notice that it had prevailed
on an
existing legal claim in regard to certain non-income
(indirect) taxes that had been previously charged and paid.
The matter
specifically relates to companies’ rights to exclude the
state tax on goods circulation (a valued-added-tax or VAT
equivalent, known in
Quaker Chemical Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- Continued
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts,
unless otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)

Brazil as “ICMS”) from
the calculation of certain additional indirect taxes (specifically
the program of social integration (“PIS”)
and contribution for the financing of social security (“COFINS”))
levied by the Brazilian States on the sale of goods.
In May 2021,
the Brazilian Supreme Court concluded that ICMS should
not be included in the tax base of PIS and COFINS, and confirmed
the
methodology for calculating the PIS and COFINS tax credit
claims to which taxpayers are entitled.
The Company’s Brazilian entities
had previously filed legal or administrative disputes on
this matter and are entitled to receive tax credits and interest dating
back to
five years preceding the date of their legal claims.
As a result of these court rulings in the first six months of 2021,
the Company
recognized non-income tax credits of
67.0
million BRL or approximately $
13.3
million, which includes approximately $
8.4
million
for the PIS and COFINS tax credits as well as interest on these
tax credits of $
4.9
million.
The tax credits to which the Company’s
Brazilian subsidiaries are entitled are claimable once registered
with the Brazilian tax authorities and the Company anticipates
completing this step during the second half of 2021.
These tax credits can be used to offset future Brazilian
federal taxes and the
Company currently anticipates using the full amount of
credits during the five year period of time permitted.
In connection with obtaining regulatory approvals for the
Combination, certain steel and aluminum related product lines
of
Houghton were divested on August 1, 2019.
In July 2021, the entity that acquired these divested product lines
submitted an
indemnification claim for certain alleged losses in accordance with
the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”)
.
Under the
terms of the APA,
the Company has 45 days to review the claim and respond
,
and as such, the Company is in the early stages of
evaluating the merits of the alleged losses in the indemnification
claim received.
As of the date of this Report,
the Company does not
believe it is reasonably possible to determine or quantify
any possible exposure.
The Company is party to other litigation which management
currently believes will not have a material adverse
effect on the
Company’s results of
operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In addition, the Company has an immaterial amount of contractual
purchase obligations.

Executive Summary
Quaker Houghton is the global leader in industrial process
fluids.
With a presence around the world,
including operations in over
25 countries, our customers include thousands of the world’s
most advanced and specialized steel, aluminum, automotive, aerospace,
offshore, can, mining, and metalworking
companies.
Our high-performing, innovative and sustainable solutions are
backed by best-
in-class technology,
deep process knowledge, and customized services.
Quaker Houghton is headquartered in Conshohocken,
Pennsylvania, located near Philadelphia in the United States.
The Company had solid second quarter results which reflect
the continued COVID-19 recovery in the Company’s
end-markets
and customer demand as well as the on-going execution
of integration activities and synergy realization,
partially offset by raw
material cost headwinds driven by global supply chain pressures.
Specifically, net sales of $435.3
million in the second quarter of
2021 increased 52% compared to $286.0 million in the second
quarter of 2020, primarily due to higher volumes of 40%, including
additional net sales from acquisitions of 5%, the positive
impact from foreign currency translation of 8%, and increases
in selling price
and product mix of approximately 4%.
The significant increase in sales volumes compared to the
second quarter of 2020 was
primarily a result of the prior year second quarter being
the most severely impacted by COVID-19 globally,
while the current quarter
continued to experience end-market improvement and
continued market share gains.
Gross profit increased significantly quarter-over-
quarter as a result of higher net sales.
Despite significant increases in raw material costs, current
quarter gross margin of 35.5%
improved as compared to the prior year second quarter,
as the prior year was impacted by lower volumes due to COVID-19
on fixed
manufacturing costs.
Sequentially, the Company
experienced lower gross margins compared to the
first quarter of 2021 due to
significant raw material cost increases and global supply chain
and logistics pressures.
The Company had net income in the second quarter of 2021
of $33.6 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, compared
to a second
quarter of 2020 net loss of $7.7 million, or $0.43 per
diluted share.
The current quarter result includes $13.3 million of
non-operating
income related to certain non-income tax credits recorded
by the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries.
The Company’s prior year
second
quarter net loss was dramatically affected
by the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy,
including most of the
Company’s end customers.
Excluding non-recurring items including the Brazil non-income
tax credits as well as costs associated
with the Combination and other non-core items in each period,
the Company’s second quarter of
2021 non-GAAP earnings per diluted
share were $1.82 compared to $0.21 in the prior year
second quarter.
The Company’s current quarter
adjusted EBITDA of $70.1
million increased 118% compared
to $32.1 million in the second quarter of 2020 primarily due
to the significant increase in net sales
quarter-over-quarter as well as higher realized cost synergies
from the Combination as compared to the second quarter
of 2020,
partially offset by higher raw material costs.
The Company estimates that it realized cost synergies associated
with the Combination
of approximately $18.5 million during the second quarter
of 2021 compared to approximately $12 million during
the second quarter of
2020.
See the Non-GAAP Measures section of this Item below,
as well as other items discussed in the Company’s
Consolidated
Operations Review in the Operations section of this Item,
below.
The Company’s second
quarter of 2021 operating performance in each of its four reportable
segments: (i) Americas; (ii) Europe,
Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); (iii) Asia/Pacific; and (iv)
Global Specialty Businesses, reflect similar drivers to that of
its
consolidated performance.
All four segments had higher net sales compared to the second
quarter of 2020 reflecting the negative
impact of COVID-19 on the prior year versus current quarter
improvement in the Company’s
end markets and overall market share
gains in each segment.
All of the Company’s segments
benefited from higher sales volumes as compared to
the prior year quarter,
additional net sales from acquisitions, the positive impact
from foreign currency translation due to the strengthening
of most major
currencies against the U.S. dollar, and
generally from increases in selling price and product mix.
As reported, all of the Company’s
segment operating earnings were higher compared to the
second quarter of 2020 which reflects higher current quarter
net sales
coupled with a higher gross margin in most segments
as compared to the prior year second quarter,
partially offset by higher selling,
general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), which was the
result of an increase in direct selling expenses associated with
the
significant increase in net sales and, to a lesser extent,
the low levels of prior year period SG&A as a result of COVID-19
temporary
cost savings measures.
Additional details of each segment’s
operating performance are further discussed in the Company’s
Reportable Segments Review,
in the Operations section of this Item, below.
The Company had a net operating cash outflow of $9.6 million
in the first six months of 2021 as compared to net operating cash
inflow of $44.7 million in the first six months of 2020.
The decrease in net operating cash flow year-over-year was primarily
driven
by a significant investment in working capital compared
to the prior year, mainly in accounts receivable,
due to higher net sales and
Quaker Chemical Corporation
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
29
volumes, and inventory,
due to higher raw material costs and restocking initiatives as a result
of global supply chain and logistics
pressures.
The key drivers of the Company’s
operating cash flow and working capital are further discussed
in the Company’s
Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Item,
below.
Overall, the Company’s
second quarter results were strong, despite significant increases
in raw material costs and supply chain
issues.
Significant improvement over the prior year in
all segments was driven by the continued recovery in the
Company’s end-
markets and increased customer demand from lower
levels experienced during 2020 as a result of COVID-19.
While sequential
operating performance as compared to the first quarter
of 2021 was slightly lower, continued
strong customer demand in the second
quarter of 2021 coupled with on-going market share
gains and the execution of integration activities and synergy
realization helped
offset the negative impacts from the continued
escalation of raw material costs and continued supply chain pressures.
As the Company looks forward to the rest of 2021,
it expects raw material costs to continue to increase,
and it is implementing
additional price increases to help offset them
.
In addition, while the Company expects customer demand and sales volumes
to remain
strong,
we anticipate some near-term headwinds in automotive due
to the semiconductor shortage and some seasonality trends which
the Company typically experiences in the second half
of the year.
Despite these near-term headwinds, the Company
continues to
expect 2021 will result in a step change in its profitability from
2020 as the Company completes its integration cost synergies,
continues to take further share in the marketplace, benefits
from projected gradual rebound in demand, and sees the positive
impact of
its recent acquisitions.
On-going impact of COVID-19
The global outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively impacted
all locations where the Company does business.
Although the
Company has now operated in this COVID-19 environment
for over a year, the full extent
of the outbreak and related business
impacts remain uncertain and volatile, and therefore the
full extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Company’s
future results of
operations or financial condition is uncertain.
This outbreak has significantly disrupted the operations of the
Company and those of its
suppliers and customers.
The Company has experienced volume declines and lower
net sales as compared to pre-COVID-19 levels as
a result of the outbreak, as further described in this section.
Management continues to monitor the impact that the COVID-19
pandemic is having on the Company,
the overall specialty chemical industry and the economies and
markets in which the Company
operates.
Given the speed and frequency of the continuously evolving developments
with respect to this pandemic, the Company
cannot, as of the date of this Report, reasonably estimate
the magnitude or the full extent of the impact to its future results
of
operations or to the ability of it or its customers to resume
more normal operations, even as certain restrictions are lifted.
The
prolonged pandemic and resurgences
of the outbreak including as new variants emerge
,
and continued restrictions on day-to-day life
and business operations may result in volume declines
and lower net sales in future periods as compared to pre
-COVID-19 levels.
To
the extent that the Company’s
customers and suppliers continue to be significantly and
adversely impacted by COVID-19, this could
reduce the availability,
or result in delays, of materials or supplies to or from the Company,
which in turn could significantly interrupt
the Company’s business operations.
Given this ongoing uncertainty,
the Company cautions that its future results of operations could
be significantly adversely impacted by COVID-19.
Further, management continues to evaluate how
COVID-19-related
circumstances, such as remote work arrangements, illness or
staffing shortages and travel restrictions have affected
financial reporting
processes and systems, internal control over financial reporting,
and disclosure controls and procedures.
While the circumstances
have presented and are expected to continue to
present challenges, and have necessitated additional time and
resources to be deployed
to sufficiently address the challenges brought
on by the pandemic, at this time, management does not believe that
COVID-19 has had
a material impact on financial reporting processes, internal
controls over financial reporting, or disclosure controls and
procedures.
The Company’s top
priority, especially during this pandemic,
is to protect the health and safety of its employees and
customers,
while working to ensure business continuity to meet customers’
needs.
The Company continues to take steps to protect the health
and
wellbeing of its people in affected areas through
various actions, including enabling work at home where needed
and possible, and
employing social distancing standards, implementing
travel restrictions where applicable, enhancing onsite hygiene
practices, and
instituting visitation restrictions at the Company’s
facilities.
The Company has not and does not expect that it will incur
material
expenses implementing these health and safety policies.
All of the Company’s 31
production facilities worldwide are open and
operating and are deemed as essential businesses in the
jurisdictions where they are operating.
The Company believes that to date it
has been able to meet the needs of all its customers across the
globe despite the current economic challenges.
The Company’s second
quarter of 2021 showed substantial year-over-year
improvement from the prior year second quarter,
which was the most severely
impacted by COVID-19, and continued a trend of gradual
improvement which began in the second half of 2020.
The Company
continues to expect that the impact from COVID-19
will gradually improve subject to the effective containment
of the virus and its
variants and successful distribution and acceptance
of the vaccines that have been developed.
However, the incidence of reported
cases of COVID-19 in several geographies where the Company
has significant operations remains high and continues to
evolve and it
remains highly uncertain as to how long the global pandemic
and related economic challenges will last and when our customers’
businesses will recover to pre-COVID-19 levels.
The Company took various actions to temporarily conserve
cash and reduce costs
during and these temporary initiatives were designed and
implemented so that the Company could successfully manage
through the
challenging COVID-19 situation while continuing to protect
the health of its employees, meet customers’ needs,
maintain the
Quaker Chemical Corporation
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
30
Company’s long-term
competitive advantages
and above-market growth, and enable it to continue to effectively
integrate Houghton.
While the actions taken to date to protect our workforce,
to continue to serve our customers with excellence and to conserve
cash and
reduce costs, have been effective thus far,
further actions to respond to the pandemic and its effects
may be necessary as conditions
continue to evolve.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2021, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and
restricted cash of $145.6 million.
Total cash, cash
equivalents and
restricted cash was $181.9 million at December 31, 2020.
The $36.3 million decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted
cash
was the net result of approximately $21.7 million of cash
used in investing activities, $9.6 million of cash used in operating
activities,
$4.4 million of cash used in financing activities and a
$0.7 million negative impact due to the effect of foreign
currency translation.
Net cash flows used in operating activities were $9.6
million in the first six months of 2021 compared to net cash
flows provided
by operating activities of $44.7 million in the first six
months of 2020.
The decrease in net operating cash flows of $54.2 million was
primarily driven by a significant change in working
capital, partially
offset by higher earnings in the current year.
The significant
increase in current year net sales resulted in a large
increase in accounts receivable in the first six months of 2021 as compared
to
accounts receivable being a cash inflow in the prior
year as sales significantly declined during the first six months of
2020 due to the
initial negative impact from COVID-19.
In addition, the Company has experienced an increase in inventory
in the first six months of
2021 as a result of rising raw material costs as well as a build
in inventory to ensure the Company has appropriate stock
to meet
customer demands particularly given the current stress on
the global supply chain.
In addition, the Company had higher cash
dividends received from its associated companies in
the first six months of 2020, primarily due to $5.0 million
received from the
Company’s joint venture
in Korea with no similar dividend received in the first six months of
2021 related to the timing of dividends
received.
Net cash flows used in investing activities were $21.7
million in the first six months of 2021 compared to $10.6
million in the first
six months of 2020.
This increase in cash outflows was driven by higher cash payments related
to acquisitions during the first six
months of 2021, including $25.0 million for certain assets related
to tin-plating solutions primarily for steel end markets.
These higher
cash outflows were partially offset by cash proceeds
of approximately $14.7 million from the disposition of assets, which
includes the
sale of certain held-for-sale real property
assets related to the Combination.
Capital expenditures were relatively consistent at $7.0
million in the first six months of 2021 compared to $7.5
million in the first six months of 2020.
Net cash flows used in financing activities were $4.4
million in the first six months of 2021 compared to net cash
flows provided
by financing activities of $168.7 million in the first six months
of 2020.
The decrease of $173.1 million in net cash flows was
primarily related to the prior year borrowings of most of the
available liquidity under the Company’s
revolving credit facility related
to the economic uncertainty brought on by COVID-19.
These additional prior year borrowings were repaid during
the third quarter of
2020.
In addition, the Company paid $14.1 million of cash dividends
during the first six months of 2021, a $0.5 million or 3%
increase in cash dividends compared to the prior year.
Finally, during the first six months
of 2020, the Company used $1.0 million to
purchase the remaining noncontrolling interest in a
South Africa affiliate.
Prior to this buyout, this South Africa affiliate made
a
distribution to the prior noncontrolling affiliate
shareholder of approximately $0.8 million in the first six months
of 2020.
There were
no similar noncontrolling interest activities in the first six months
of 2021.
The Company’s primary
credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) is comprised of a $400.0
million multicurrency revolver (the
“Revolver”), a $600.0 million term loan (the “U.S. Term
Loan”), each with the Company as borrower,
and a $150.0 million (as of
August 1, 2019) Euro equivalent term loan (the “Euro
Term Loan” and together
with the U.S. Term Loan”,
the “Term Loans”) with
Quaker Chemical B.V.,
a Dutch subsidiary of the Company as borrower,
each with a five year term maturing in August 2024.
Subject
to the consent of the administrative agent and certain other
conditions, the Company may designate additional borrowers.
The
maximum amount available under the Credit Facility
can be increased by up to $300.0 million at the Company’s
request if there are
lenders who agree to accept additional commitments and
the Company has satisfied certain other conditions.
Borrowings under the
Credit Facility bear interest at a base rate or LIBOR plus an
applicable margin based on the Company’s
consolidated net leverage
ratio.
There are LIBOR replacement provisions that contemplate a further
amendment if and when LIBOR ceases to be reported.
The
weighted average interest rate incurred on the outstanding
borrowings under the Credit Facility during both the first six months
of
2021 and as of June 30, 2021 was approximately 1.6
%.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under
the Credit
Facility, the Company
is required to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.2% to
0.3% depending on the Company’s
consolidated net
leverage ratio to the lenders under the Revolver in
respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder.
The Credit Facility is subject to certain financial and
other covenants.
The Company’s initial consolidated
net debt to
consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio could not exceed
4.25 to 1, with step downs in the permitted ratio over the
term of the Credit
Facility.
As of June 30, 2021, the consolidated net debt to consolidated
adjusted EBITDA ratio may not exceed 4.00 to 1.
The
Company’s consolidated
adjusted EBITDA to interest expense ratio may not be less than
3.0 to 1 over the term of the agreement.
The
Credit Facility also prohibits the payment of cash dividends
if the Company is in default or if the amount of the dividen
ds paid
annually exceeds the greater of $50.0 million and
20% of consolidated adjusted EBITDA unless the ratio of
consolidated net debt to
Quaker Chemical Corporation
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
31
consolidated adjusted EBITDA is less than 2.0 to 1,
in which case there is no such limitation on amount.
As of June 30, 2021, and
December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with
all of the Credit Facility covenants.
The Term Loans
have quarterly
principal amortization during their five year terms,
with 5.0% amortization of the principal balance due in years 1 and
2, 7.5% in year
3, and 10.0% in years 4 and 5, with the remaining principal
amount due at maturity.
The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of the
Company’s domestic subsidiaries
and is secured by first priority liens on substantially all of
the assets of the Company and the
domestic subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain customary exclusions.
The obligations of the Dutch borrower are guaranteed only
by certain foreign subsidiaries on an unsecured basis.
The Credit Facility required the Company to fix its variable
interest rates on at least 20% of its total Term
Loans.
In order to
satisfy this requirement as well as to manage the
Company’s exposure to variable
interest rate risk associated with the Credit Facility,
in November 2019, the Company entered into $170.0
million notional amounts of three year interest rate swaps at a base
rate of 1.64%
plus an applicable margin as provided in the
Credit Facility, based on
the Company’s consolidated net
leverage ratio.
At the time the
Company entered into the swaps, and as of June 30,
2021, the aggregate interest rate on the swaps, including the
fixed base rate plus
an applicable margin, was 3.1%.
The Company capitalized $23.7 million of certain third-party
debt issuance costs in connection with executing
the Credit Facility.
Approximately $15.5 million of the capitalized costs were attributed
to the Term Loans and
recorded as a direct reduction of long-
term debt on the Company’s
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Approximately $8.3 million of the capitalized costs were
attributed to the
Revolver and recorded within other assets on the Company’s
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
These capitalized costs are
being amortized into interest expense over the five year
term of the Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had Credit Facility borrowings
outstanding of $892.6 million.
As of December 31, 2020, the
Company had Credit Facility borrowings outstanding
of $887.1 million.
The Company has unused capacity under the Revolver of
approximately $206 million, net of bank letters of
credit of approximately $4 million, as of June 30, 2021.
The Company’s other debt
obligations are primarily industrial development bonds,
bank lines of credit and municipality-related loans, which
totaled $12.2
million and $12.1 million as of June 30, 2021 and
December 31, 2020, respectively.
Total unused capacity
under these arrangements
as of June 30, 2021 was approximately $40 million.
The Company’s total net debt
as of June 30, 2021 was $759.2 million.
The Company estimates that it realized cost synergies
in the first six months of 2021 of approximately $36.5 million
compared to
approximately $22 million in the first six months of 2020.
The Company continues to expect to realize Combination
cost synergies of
approximately $75 million in 2021 and $80 million in
2022.
The Company continues to expect to incur additional costs
and make
associated cash payments to integrate Quaker and Houghton
and continue realizing the Combination’s
total anticipated cost synergies.
The Company expects total cash payments, including
those pursuant to the QH Program, described below,
but excluding incremental
capital expenditures related to the Combination,
will be approximately 1.3 times its total anticipated 2022 cost
synergies of $80
million.
A significant portion of these costs were already incurred
in 2019, 2020 and the first six months of 2021, but the Company
expects to continue to incur such costs throughout
the remainder of 2021.
The Company incurred $7.6 million of total Combination,
integration and other acquisition-related expenses in the
first six months of 2021, which includes $0.5 million of accelerated
depreciation and is net of a $5.4 million gain on the sale of
certain held-for-sale real property assets, described in the
Non-GAAP
Measures section of this Item below.
Comparatively, in the first six months
of 2020, the Company incurred $16.5 million of total
Combination, integration and other acquisition-related
expenses.
The Company had aggregate net cash outflows of
approximately
$14.8 million related to the Combination, integration and
other acquisition-related expenses during the first six months
of 2021 as
compared to $13.8 million during the first six months of
2020.
Quaker Houghton’s management
approved, and the Company initiated, a global restructuring
plan (the “QH Program”) in the
third quarter of 2019 as part of its planned cost synergies
associated with the Combination.
The QH Program includes restructuring
and associated severance costs to reduce total headcount
by approximately 400 people globally and plans for the closure
of certain
manufacturing and non-manufacturing facilities.
In connection with the plans for closure of certain manufacturing
and non-
manufacturing facilities, the Company made a decision
to make available for sale certain facilities during the second
quarter of 2020.
During the first quarter of 2021, certain of these facilities were
sold and the Company recognized a gain on disposal of $5.4 million
included within other income (expense), net on the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The exact timing and total
costs associated with the QH Program will depend
on a number of factors and is subject to change; however,
reductions in headcount
and site closures have continued into 2021.
The Company currently expects additional headcount reductions and
site closures to occur
into 2022 and estimates that the anticipated cost synergies
realized under the QH Program will approximate one-times restructuring
costs incurred.
The Company made cash payments related to the settlement of
restructuring liabilities under the QH Program during
the first six months of 2021 of approximately $4.2 million
compared to $9.6 million in the first six months of 2020.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s
gross liability for uncertain tax positions, including interest and
penalties, was $30.8 million.
The Company cannot determine a reliable estimate of
the timing of cash flows by period related to its uncertain tax
position liability.
However, should the entire liability
be paid, the amount of the payment may be reduced by up
to $7.7 million as a result of offsetting
benefits in other tax jurisdictions.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, one of the Company’s
subsidiaries received a notice of
inspection from a taxing authority in a country where certain
of its subsidiaries operate, which relate to a non-income
(indirect) tax
Quaker Chemical Corporation
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

that may be applicable to certain products the subsidiary
sells.
To date, the Company
has not received any assessment from the
authority related to potential liabilities that may be due
from the Company’s subsidiary.
Consequently, there is substantial
uncertainty
with respect to the Company’s
ultimate liability with respect to this indirect tax.
During the first six months of 2021, the Company
recorded $13.3 million of non-income tax credits for
certain of its Brazilian subsidiaries.
The Company expects to utilize these credits
to offset certain Brazilian federal tax payments over
approximately the following two years beginning in the second half of 2021.
See
Note 19 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements in Item 1 of this Report.
The Company believes that its existing cash, anticipated
cash flows from operations and available additional liquidity
will be
sufficient to support its operating requirements
and fund its business objectives for at least the next twelve
months, including but not
limited to, payments of dividends to shareholders, costs related
to the Combination and integration, pension plan contributions,
capital
expenditures, other business opportunities (including
potential acquisitions) and other potential contingencies.
The Company’s
liquidity is affected by many factors, some
based on normal operations of our business and others related
to the impact of the
pandemic on our business and on global economic
conditions as well as industry uncertainties, which we cannot
predict.
We also
cannot predict economic conditions and industry downturns
or the timing, strength or duration of recoveries.
We may seek,
as we
believe appropriate, additional
debt or equity financing which would provide capital for
corporate purposes, working capital funding,
additional liquidity needs or to fund future growth opportunities, including
possible acquisitions and investments.
The timing and
amount of potential capital requirements cannot be
determined at this time and will depend on a number of factors,
including the
actual and projected demand for our products, specialty
chemical industry conditions, competitive factors, and the
condition of
financial markets, among others.
Non-GAAP Measures
The information in this Form 10-Q includes non-GAAP (unaudited)
financial information that includes EBITDA, adjusted
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP operating
income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP
net income and non-
GAAP earnings per diluted share.
The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide
meaningful supplemental
information as they enhance a reader’s understanding
of the financial performance of the Company,
are indicative of future operating
performance of the Company,
and facilitate a comparison among fiscal periods, as the
non-GAAP financial measures exclude items
that are not considered indicative of future operating performance
or not considered core to the Company’s
operations.
Non-GAAP
results are presented for supplemental informational
purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for the
financial
information presented in accordance with GAAP.
The Company presents EBITDA which is calculated as net income
(loss) attributable to the Company before depreciation and
amortization, interest expense, net, and taxes on income
(loss) before equity in net income of associated companies.
The Company
also presents adjusted EBITDA which is calculated as EBITDA
plus or minus certain items that are not considered indicative of
future
operating performance or not considered core to the Company’s
operations.
In addition, the Company presents non-GAAP operating
income which is calculated as operating income (loss) plus
or minus certain items that are not considered indicative
of future operating
performance or not considered core to the Company’s
operations.
Adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP operating
margin are
calculated as the percentage of adjusted EBITDA and
non-GAAP operating income to consolidated net sales, respectively.
The
Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide
transparent and useful information and are widely used by analysts, investors,
and competitors in our industry as well as by management
in assessing the operating performance of the Company on
a consistent
basis.
Additionally, the
Company presents non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings
per diluted share as additional performance
measures.
Non-GAAP net income is calculated as adjusted EBITDA, defined
above, less depreciation and amortization, interest
expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in
net income of associated companies, in each case adjusted,
as applicable, for any
depreciation, amortization, interest or tax impacts resulting
from the non-core items identified in the reconciliation
of net income
attributable to the Company to adjusted EBITDA.
Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is calculated as non
-GAAP net income per
diluted share as accounted for under the “two-class share
method.”
The Company believes that non-GAAP net income and non-
GAAP earnings per diluted share provide transparent
and useful information and are widely used by analysts, investors,
and
competitors in our industry as well as by management in
assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consistent
basis.

and $0.5 million in the three and six months ended June
30, 2021,
respectively, of these
pre-tax costs were considered non-
deductible for the purpose of determining the Company’s
effective tax rate, and, therefore, taxes on income before
equity in net
income of associated companies - adjusted reflects the
impact of these items.
During the three and six months ended June 30,
2021, the Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.5 million,
respectively, of
accelerated depreciation related to certain of the
Company’s facilities compared
to $0.3 million and $0.8 million during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2020,
respectively, which

Operations
Consolidated Operations Review – Comparison of the Second
Quarter
of 2021 with the Second Quarter of 2020
Net sales were $435.3 million in the second quarter of
2021 compared to $286.0 million in the second quarter
of 2020.
The net
sales increase of approximately $149.2
million or 52% quarter-over-quarter
was driven by higher sales volumes of 40%, which
includes additional net sales from recent acquisitions of
5%, the positive impact of foreign currency translation of
8% as well as
increases from selling price and product mix of approximately
4%.
The significant increase in sales volumes compared to the second
quarter of 2020 was primarily the result of the prior year
quarter being the most severely impacted by COVID-19
globally as well as
the continued improvement in end market conditions and
continued market share gains realized in the current quarter.
Sales from
acquisitions includes notably the Company’s
acquisition of Coral Chemical Company (“Coral”) in December
2020.
The positive
impact from foreign currency translation is primarily the
result of the strengthening of the euro, Chinese renminbi
and Mexican peso
against the U.S. dollar quarter-over-quarter
The increase from selling price and product mix includes
the benefits of current year
selling price increases implemented to date to help offset
the rising raw material costs.
COGS were $280.8 million in the second quarter of 2021
compared to $188.7 million in the second quarter of 2020
.
The increase
in COGS of 49%
was driven by the associated COGS on the increase in net
sales described above.
Gross profit in the second quarter of 2021 of $154.5
million increased $57.1 million or 59% from the second quarter
of 2020, due
primarily to the increase in net sales noted above.
The Company’s reported
gross margin in the second quarter of 2021 was 35.5%
compared to 34.0% in the second quarter of 2020.
Excluding one-time increases to COGS including accelerated
depreciation in both
periods and the impact of the inventory fair value
step up in the prior year quarter, described
in the Non-GAAP section of this Item
above, the Company estimates that its gross margins
in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020 would have been approximately
35.5%
and 34.2%, respectively.
While the Company has experienced unprecedented raw material
cost increases that began in the fourth
quarter of 2020 and are continuing throughout the first
half of 2021, the higher gross margin as compared
to the prior year quarter was
primarily driven by the Company’s
continued execution of Combination-related logistics, procurement
and manufacturing cost
savings initiatives versus the prior year impact of fixed manufacturing
costs on the abnormally low volumes due to COVID-19.
SG&A in the second quarter of 2021 increased $22.0 million
compared to the second quarter of 2020 due primarily to
the impact
of sales increases on direct selling costs, additional
SG&A from recent acquisitions, higher incentive compensation
on improved
operating performance in the current year,
and higher SG&A due to foreign currency translation.
In addition, SG&A was lower in the
prior year period as a result of certain temporary cost saving measures
the Company implemented in response to the onset of COVID-
19.
While the Company continues to manage costs during the on
-going pandemic, it has incurred higher SG&A as the global
economy continues to gradually rebound.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company incurred
$6.7 million of Combination, integration and other acquisition-related
expenses primarily for professional fees related to Houghton integration
and other acquisition-related activities.
Comparatively, the
Company incurred $8.0 million of expenses in the prior
year second quarter, primarily due
to various professional fees related to legal,
financial and other advisory and consulting expenses for
integration activities.
See the Non-GAAP Measures section of this Item,
above.
Quaker Chemical Corporation
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
37
The Company initiated a restructuring program during
the third quarter of 2019 as part of its global
plan to realize cost synergies
associated with the Combination.
The Company incurred restructuring and related charges for
reductions in headcount and site
closures under this program of $0.3 million and $0.5 million
during the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
See the Non-
GAAP Measures section of this Item, above.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2021 was $38.8
million compared to $2.2 million in the second quarter of
2020.
Excluding Combination, integration and other acquisition
-related expenses, restructuring and related charges
and other non-core
items, the Company’s
current quarter non-GAAP operating income increased 315% to
$46.4 million compared to $11.2 million in
the
prior year quarter primarily due to the increase in net sales described
above and the benefits from cost savings related to the
Combination offset by increases in raw material
costs.
The Company had other income, net, of $14.0 million
in the second quarter of 2021 compared to other expense,
net, of $1.0
million in the second quarter of 2020.
The second quarter of 2021 includes $13.3 million related to
certain non-income tax credits
recorded by the Company’s
Brazilian subsidiaries as well as lower foreign currency transaction
losses compared to the prior quarter.
See the Non-GAAP Measures section of this Item, above.
Interest expense, net, decreased $1.2 million compared
to the second quarter of 2020 driven by lower current quarter
borrowings
outstanding as a result of the additional revolver
borrowings drawn down in March 2020 at the onset of the
pandemic as well as a
decline in overall interest rates quarter-over-quarter.
The Company’s effective
tax rates for the second quarters of 2021 and 2020 were 32.2%
and 57.9%, respectively.
The
Company’s current quarter
effective tax rate was impacted by the changes in foreign
tax credit valuation allowances, tax law changes
in foreign jurisdictions as well as the tax impacts of
certain non-income tax credits recorded by the Company’s
Brazilian subsidiaries.
Comparatively,
the prior year second quarter effective tax rate was impacted
by the tax effect of certain one-time pre-tax losses.
Excluding the impact
of these items as well as all other non-core items in each
quarter, described in the Non
-GAAP Measures section
of this Item, above, the Company estimates that its second
quarters of 2021 and 2020 effective tax rates would
have been
approximately 24% and 18%, respectively.
The higher estimated current quarter tax rate was driven by the
impact of higher pre-tax
income in the current quarter as compared to the prior
year quarter on certain tax adjustments as well as increased withholding
taxes
on expected current year repatriated earnings.
The Company may experience continued volatility in its effective
tax rates due to
several factors, including the timing of tax audits and
the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations as they relate
to uncertain tax
positions, the unpredictability of the timing and
amount of certain incentives in various tax jurisdictions, the treatment
of certain
acquisition-related costs and the timing and amount
of certain share-based compensation-related tax benefits, among
other factors.
In
addition, the foreign tax credit valuation allowance is based
on a number of variables, including forecasted earnings,
which may vary.
Equity in net income of associated companies increased $0.5 million
in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second
quarter of 2020, primarily due to higher current year
quarter income from the Company’s
interest in a captive insurance company
compared to the prior year quarter.
See the Non-GAAP Measures section of this Item, above.Net
income attributable to
noncontrolling interest was less than $0.1 million
in both the second quarters of 2021 and 2020.
Foreign exchange positively impacted the Company’s
second quarter results by approximately 10% driven by the positive
impact
from foreign currency translation on earnings as well as lower
foreign exchange transaction losses in the current
year quarter as
compared to the prior year second quarter.
Consolidated Operations Review – Comparison of the First Six
Months of 2021 with the First Six Months of 2020
Net sales were $865.0 million in the first six months of
2021 compared to $664.6 million in the first six months of
2020.
The net
sales increase of $200.4 million or 30% period-over-period
reflects a benefit from higher sales volumes of 22%, which includes
additional net sales from recent acquisitions of 4%,
the positive impact from foreign currency translation
of 5%, and increases in
selling price and product mix of 3%.
The increase in sales volumes compared to the first six months
of 2020 was primarily due to
improved end market conditions from the prior year impacts
of COVID-19 and continued market share gains.
Additional net sales
from acquisitions relate primarily to the acquisitions of
a tin-plating solutions business and Coral, acquired in February
2021 and
December 2020, respectively.
The positive impact from foreign currency translation
is primarily the result of the strengthening of the
euro and Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. dollar
year-over-year.
The increase from selling price and product mix includes the
benefits of current year selling price increases implemented
to date to help offset the rising raw material and
input costs.
COGS were $554.4 million in the first six months of 2021
compared to $433.4 million in the first six months of
2020.
The
increase in COGS of 28% was driven by the associated COGS
on the increase in net sales as described above, and to
a lesser extent,
an expense of $0.8 million associated with selling acquired
Coral inventory in the first six months of 2021 at its fair
value described in
the Non-GAAP Measures section of this Item above.
Gross profit in the first six months of 2021 increased $79.4
million or 34% from the first six months of 2020, due
primarily to the
increase in net sales described above.
The Company’s reported gross
margin in the first six months of 2021 was 35.9%
compared to
34.8% in the first six months of 2020.
Excluding one-time increases to COGS including accelerated
depreciation and the impact of
Quaker Chemical Corporation
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
38
the inventory fair value step up in both periods, described in the
Non-GAAP section of this Item above, the Company estimates that
its
gross margins in the first six months of
2021 and 2020 would have been approximately 36.1% and
34.9%, respectively.
The
Company’s higher current
year gross margin was primarily due to the same
impacts described in the second quarter description above.
SG&A in the first six months of 2021 increased $27.6
million compared to the first six months of 2020 due
primarily to the same
drivers described in the second quarter description above.
During the first six months of 2021,
the Company incurred $12.5 million of Combination, integration
and other acquisition-
related expenses primarily for professional fees related
to Houghton integration and other acquisition-related activities.
Comparatively,
the Company incurred $15.9 million of expenses in the first six
months of 2020,
primarily due to various professional
fees related to integration activities.
See the Non-GAAP Measures section of this Item, above.
As described above, the Company initiated a restructuring
program during the third quarter of 2019 as part of its global
plan to
realize cost synergies associated with the Combination.
The Company recorded restructuring and related charges
of $1.5 million
during the first six months of 2021 compared to
$2.2 million during the first six months of 2020 under this
program.
See the Non-
GAAP Measures section of this Item, above.
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded
a $38.0 million non-cash impairment charge to write
down the value of
certain indefinite-lived intangible assets associated with the
Combination.
This non-cash impairment charge is related to certain
acquired Houghton trademarks and tradenames and
was primarily the result of the projected negative impacts of COVID-19
as of
March 31, 2020 on their estimated fair values.
There was no similar impairment charges recorded
during the first six months of 2021.
Operating income in the first six months of 2021 was $83.7
million compared to an operating loss of $10.2 million in
the first six
months of 2020.
Excluding Combination, integration and other acquisition-related
expenses, restructuring and related charges, the
non-cash indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment
charge, and other non-core items, the Company’s
current year non-GAAP
operating income of $100.1 million increased compared
to $47.2 million in the prior year period, primarily due to the
increase in net
sales described above and the continued benefits from
cost savings related to the Combination.
The Company’s other
income, net, was $18.7 million in the first six months of 2021 compared
to other expense, net of $22.2
million in the prior year period.
The year-over-year change was primarily due to other
income related to certain non-income tax
credits recorded by the Company’s
Brazilian subsidiaries during the second quarter of 2021 as well as the
gain on the sale of certain
held-for-sale real property assets during the first
quarter of 2021 compared to a first quarter of 2020 pension plan
settlement charge
associated with the termination of the Legacy Quaker
U.S. Pension Plan.
See the Non-GAAP Measures section of this Item, above.
Interest expense, net, decreased $4.2 million in the first
six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020
driven by
lower current year borrowings outstanding as a result of
the additional revolver borrowings drawn down in March 2020
at the onset of
the pandemic as well as a decline in overall interest rates year-over-year,
as the weighted average interest rate incurred on borrow
ings
under the Company’s credit
facility was approximately 1.6% during the first six months of
2021 compared to approximately 2.5%
during the first six months of 2020.
The Company’s effective
tax rates for the first six months of 2021 and 2020 was an expense
of 28.4% compared to a benefit of
20.7%, respectively.
The Company’s effective
tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was impacted
by the sale of certain
held-for-sale real property assets related to the
Combination, certain U.S. tax law changes and the tax impact of certain
non-income
tax credits recorded by the Company’s
Brazilian subsidiaries.
Comparatively,
the prior year first six months effective tax rate was
impacted by the tax effect of certain one-time
pre-tax losses as well as certain tax charges and benefits in
the current period including
those related to changes in foreign tax credit valuation allowances,
tax law changes in a foreign jurisdiction, and the tax impacts of
the
Company’s termination
of its Legacy Quaker U.S. Pension Plan and the Houghton
indefinite-lived trademarks and tradename
intangible asset impairment.
Excluding the impact of these items as well as all other non-core
items in each year, described in the
Non-GAAP Measures section of this Item, above,
the Company estimates that its first six months of 2021 and 2020
effective tax rates
were relatively consistent at approximately 24% and 21%,
respectively.
The year-over-year increase was largely
driven by the impact
of higher pre-tax income in the current year period as compared
to the prior year period on certain adjustments as well as increased
withholding tax on expense on current year repatriated
earnings.
Equity in net income of associated companies increased $5.1 million
in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six
months of 2020, primarily due to higher current year earnings from
the Company’s interest in a captive
insurance company.
See the
Non-GAAP Measures section of this Item, above.
In addition, the Company had higher earnings year-over-year
from the Company’s
50% interest in its joint venture in Korea.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was less than
$0.1 million in both the first six months of 2021 and 2020.
Foreign exchange positively impacted the Company’s
first six months of 2021 results by approximately 4% driven by the positive
impact from foreign currency translation on earnings partially
offset by higher foreign exchange transaction losses in
the current year
as compared to the prior year period.

Reportable Segments Review - Comparison of the Second
Quarter of 2021
with the Second Quarter of 2020
The Company’s reportable
segments reflect the structure of the Company’s
internal organization, the method by which the
Company’s resources are
allocated and the manner by which the chief operating decision
maker of the Company assesses its
performance.
The Company has four reportable segments: (i) Americas;
(ii) EMEA; (iii) Asia/Pacific; and (iv) Global Specialty
Businesses.
The three geographic segments are composed of the net
sales and operations in each respective region, excluding net
sales and operations managed globally by the Global
Specialty Businesses segment, which includes the Company’s
container, metal
finishing, mining, offshore, specialty coatings,
specialty grease and Norman Hay businesses.
Segment operating earnings for the Company’s
reportable segments are comprised of net sales less COGS and SG&A directly
related to the respective segment’s
product sales.
Operating expenses not directly attributable to the net
sales of each respective
segment,
such as certain corporate and administrative costs, Combination,
integration and other acquisition-related expenses,
Restructuring and related charges, and COGS related
to acquired inventory sold, which is adjusted to fair value
as part of purchase
accounting,
are not included in segment operating earnings.
Other items not
specifically identified with the Company’s
reportable
segments include interest expense, net, and other (expense)
income, net.
Americas
Americas represented approximately 32% of the Company’s
consolidated net sales in the second quarter of 2021.
The segment’s
net sales were $139.7 million, an increase of $59.1
million or 73% compared to the second quarter of 2020.
The increase in net sales
reflects the inclusion of additional net sales from acquisitions, primarily
Coral.
Excluding sales from acquisitions, the segment’s
net
sales increase quarter-over-quarter of
approximately 65% was driven by higher volumes of 54%,
a benefit in selling price and product
mix of 7% and the positive impact of foreign currency
translation of 4%.
The current quarter volume increase was driven by the
continued economic rebound from the COVID-19
slowdown as the pandemic notably impacted this segment during
the second quarter
of 2020.
The foreign exchange impact was driven by the strengthening
of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar,
as this exchange
rate averaged 20.02 in the second quarter of 2021 compared to
23.32 during the second quarter of 2020.
This segment’s operating
earnings were $33.6 million, an increase of $23.3
million or 227% compared to the second quarter of 2020.
The increase in segment
operating earnings reflects the higher net sales describe
d
above coupled with a higher current quarter gross margin,
partially offset by
higher SG&A, including SG&A from acquisitions and
an increase in SG&A as the prior year second quarter included temporary
cost
savings measures implemented in response to the onset of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
EMEA
EMEA represented approximately 28% of the Company’s
consolidated net sales in the second quarter of 2021.
The segment’s
net sales were $123.4 million, an increase of $45.7
million or 59% compared to the second quarter of 2020.
The increase in net sales
was driven by increases in volumes of 38%, the positive impact
of foreign currency translation of 13%, a benefit from selling
price
and product mix of 5%, and additional net sales from acquisitions
of 3%.
The current quarter volume increase was driven by the
continued economic rebound from the COVID-19
slowdown as the pandemic notably impacted this segment during
the second quarter
of 2020.
The foreign exchange impact was primarily driven by the
strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar as this exchange
rate averaged 1.20 in the second quarter of 2021 compared
to 1.10 in the second quarter of 2020.
This segment’s operating earnings
were $23.4 million, an increase of $12.9 million or 124%
compared to the second quarter of 2020.
The increase in segment operating
earnings reflects the higher net sales described above
coupled with a higher current quarter gross margin, partially
offset by higher
SG&A as the prior year second quarter included temporary
cost savings measures implemented in response to the
onset of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Asia/Pacific
Asia/Pacific represented approximately 21% of the
Company’s consolidated net
sales in the second quarter of 2021.
The
segment’s net sales were $91.6
million, an increase of approximately $23.1 million or 34% compared
to the second quarter of 2020.
The increase in net sales quarter-over-quarter
was driven by increases in volumes of 26% and the positive impact
of foreign currency
translation of 9% and additional net sales from acquisitions
of less than 1%, partially offset by decreases from
selling price and
product mix of 2%.
The current quarter volume increase was driven by the continued economic
rebound from the COVID-19
slowdown.
The foreign exchange impact was primarily due to the strengthening
of the Chinese renminbi against the U.S. dollar as
this exchange rate averaged 6.46 in the second quarter
of 2021 compared to 7.09 in the second quarter of 2020.
This segment’s
operating earnings were $23.2 million, an increase of
$4.0 million or 21% compared to the second quarter of 2020.
The increase in
segment operating earnings reflects the higher net sales descr
ibed above partially offset by lower gross margins
on rising raw material
costs as well as higher SG&A which includes an increase in
direct selling costs associated with higher net sales.
Global Specialty Businesses
Global Specialty Businesses represented approximately
19% of the Company’s consolidated
net sales in the second quarter of
2021.
The segment’s net sales were $80.6
million, an increase of $21.3 million or 36% compared to the second
quarter of 2020.

increase in net sales reflects the inclusion of additional
net sales from acquisitions, primarily Coral.
Excluding net sales from
acquisitions, the segment’s
net sales would have increased 27% quarter-over-quarter
driven by increases in selling price and product
mix, including Norman Hay,
of 15%, increases in volumes of 7% and the positive impact
of foreign currency translation of
approximately 5%.
The foreign exchange impact was a result of similar strengthening
of certain currencies in EMEA and Americas as
described above.
This segment’s operating earnings
were $24.2 million, an increase of $7.8 million or 48%
compared to the second
quarter of 2020.
The increase in segment operating earnings reflects the higher net
sales described above coupled with higher gross
margins compared to the second quarter of 2020,
partially offset by higher SG&A as the prior
year second quarter included temporary
cost savings measures implemented in response to the
onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reportable Segments Review - Comparison of the First Six
months of 2021 with the First Six months of 2020
Americas
Americas represented approximately 32% of the Company’s
consolidated net sales in the first six months of 2021.
The segment’s
net sales were $274.5 million, an increase of $64.0
million or 30% compared to the first six months of 2020.
The increase in net sales
was due to higher sales volumes of 21%, additional
net sales from acquisitions of 6% primarily resulting from
Coral, and benefits
from selling price and product mix of 3%.
The current year volume increase was driven by the continued
economic rebound from the
COVID-19 slowdown as the pandemic began in late
March and continued throughout the second quarter of 2020.
This segment’s
operating earnings were $65.9 million, an increase of
$26.4 million or 67% compared to the first six months of 2020.
The increase in
segment operating earnings reflects the higher net sales described
above coupled with higher gross margins in the
current year period,
partially offset by higher SG&A.
EMEA
EMEA represented approximately 28% of the Company’s
consolidated net sales in the first six months of 2021.
The segment’s
net sales were $243.3 million, an increase of $60.7
million or 33% compared to the first six months of 2020.
The increase in net sales
was due to higher sales volumes of 17%, the positive impacts
from foreign exchange translation of 10%, increases in
selling price and
product mix of 4% and additional net sales from acquisitions
of 2%.
The current year volume increase was driven by the continued
economic rebound from the COVID-19 slowdown
as the pandemic began in late March and continued throughout the
second quarter
of 2020.
The foreign exchange impact was primarily due to the strengthening
of the euro and British pound against the U.S. dollar as
these exchange rates averaged 1.21 and 1.39, respectively,
during the first six months of 2021 compared to 1.10
and 1.26, respectively,
during the first six months of 2020.
This segment’s operating earnings
were $48.6 million, an increase of $19.8 million or 69%
compared to the first six months of 2020.
The increase in segment operating earnings reflect the higher
net sales described above
coupled with improved gross margins in
the current year period, partially offset by higher SG&A.
Asia/Pacific
Asia/Pacific represented approximately 22% of the
Company’s consolidated net
sales in the first six months of 2021.
The
segment’s net sales were $188.3
million, an increase of $46.3 million or 33% compared to the first
six months of 2020.
The increase
in net sales was driven by higher sales volumes of
approximately 26% and the positive impact of foreign currency
translation of 7%.
The current year volume increase was driven by
the continued gradual economic rebound from the COVID-19 slowdown
as the
pandemic notably impacted China during the first quarter of
2020 and then the rest of the region during the second quarter
of 2020.
The foreign exchange impact was primarily due to the
strengthening of the Chinese renminbi against the U.S. dollar as
this exchange
rate averaged 6.47 during the first six months of 2021 compared
to 7.03 during the first six months of 2020.
This segment’s operating
earnings were $50.7 million, an increase of $11.9
million or 31% compared to the first six months of 2020.
The increase in segment
operating earnings were a result of the higher net sales described
above partially offset by lower gross margins
compared to the first
six months of 2020 driven by increasing raw material
costs in the current year, as well as higher
SG&A.
Global Specialty Businesses
Global Specialty Businesses represented 18% of the
Company’s consolidated net sales in the
first six months of 2021.
The
segment’s net sales were $159.0
million, an increase of $29.4 million or 23% compared to the first
six months of 2020.
The increase
in net sales was driven by benefits from selling price
and product mix, including Norman Hay,
of 18%, additional net sales from
acquisitions of 7% primarily driven by Coral, and the
positive impact of foreign currency transaction of 4%, partially
offset by
decreases in volumes of 6%.
The foreign exchange impact was a result of similar strengthening
of certain currencies in EMEA and
Americas as described above.
Both the changes in selling price and product mix and
sales volumes were primarily driven by higher
shipments of a lower priced product in the Company’s
mining business in the period year period.
This segment’s operating earnings
were $48.4 million, an increase of $11.4
million of 31% compared to the first six months of 2020.
The increase in segment operating
earnings reflects the higher net sales described above
on relatively consistent gross margins period
-over-period, partially offset by
slightly higher SG&A in the current year.

Factors That May Affect Our Future Results
(Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995)
Certain information included in this Report and other
materials filed or to be filed by Quaker Chemical Corporation
with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (as well as information
included in oral statements or other written statements made
or
to be made by us) contain or may contain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.
These statements can be identified by the
fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or
current facts.
We have based
these forward-looking statements, including statements
regarding the potential effects of the COVID-19
pandemic on the Company’s
business, results of operations, and financial condition,
our expectation that we will maintain sufficient
liquidity and remediate any of our material weaknesses in internal
control over
financial reporting, and statements regarding the impact
of increased raw material costs and pricing initiative
s
on our current
expectations about future events.
These forward-looking statements include statements with respect
to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations,
anticipations, intentions, financial condition, results of operations,
future performance, and business, including:
•
the potential benefits of the Combination and other acquisitions;
•
the impacts on our business as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic and any projected global economic rebound
or
anticipated positive results due to Company actions taken
in response to the pandemic;
•
our current and future results and plans; and
•
statements that include the words “may,”
“could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“intend,” “plan” or similar expressions.
Such statements include information relating to current and
future business activities, operational matters, capital spending,
and
financing sources.
From time to time, forward-looking statements are also included in
the Company’s other periodic
reports on Forms
10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, press releases, and other materials released
to, or statements made to, the public.
Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this Report,
in the Company’s Annual
Report to Shareholders for 2020 and in any
other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong.
This can occur as a result of inaccurate assumptions
or as a consequence
of known or unknown risks and uncertainties.
Many factors discussed in this Report will be important in determining
our future
performance.
Consequently, actual results may
differ materially from those that might be anticipated
from our forward-looking
statements.
We undertake
no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
However, any further disclosures made
on related subjects in the Company’s
subsequent reports on Forms 10-K,
10-Q, 8-K and other related filings should be consulted.
A major risk is that demand for the Company’s
products and services is
largely derived from the demand for our customers’
products, which subjects the Company to uncertainties related
to downturns in a
customer’s business and unanticipated customer
production slowdowns and shutdowns, including as is currently
being experienced by
many automotive industry companies.
Other major risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to, the primary and secondary
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including actions
taken in response to the pandemic by various governments, which
could
exacerbate some or all of the other risks and uncertainties
faced by the Company,
including the potential for significant increases in
raw material costs, supply chain disruptions, customer
financial instability, worldwide
economic and political disruptions, foreign
currency fluctuations, significant changes in applicable
tax rates and regulations, future terrorist attacks and other acts of
violence.
Furthermore, the Company is subject to the same business
cycles as those experienced by our customers in the
steel, automobile,
aircraft, industrial equipment, and durable goods industries.
The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our business will depend
on,
among other things, the extent and duration of the pandemic, the
severity of the disease and the number of people infected with
the
virus including as new variants emerge, the
continued uncertainty regarding global availability,
administration, acceptance and long-
term efficacy of vaccines, or other treatments for
COVID-19 or its variants, the longer-term effects
on the economy by the pandemic,
including the resulting market volatility,
and by the measures taken by governmental authorities and other
third parties restricting day-
to-day life and business operations and the length of time
that such measures remain in place, as well as laws and other governmental
programs implemented to address the pandemic

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk.
We have evaluated
the information required under this Item that was disclosed in Part II,
Item 7A, of our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and we
believe there has been no material change to that information.
44
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls
and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, has
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Exchange Act ) as of the
end of the period covered by this Report.
Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer
and our principal financial officer
have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by
this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective
as of June 30, 2021 because of the material weaknesses in our
internal control
over financial reporting, as described below.
As previously disclosed in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.”
in the Company’s 2020
Form 10-K, through the process of
evaluating risks and corresponding changes to the
design of existing or the implementation of new controls
in light of the significant
non-recurring transactions that occurred during 2019,
including the Combination, the Company identified certain deficiencies in
its
application of the principles associated with the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizatio
n
of the Treadway
Commission in Internal
Control – Integrated Framework (2013)
that management has concluded in the aggregate constitute a material
weakness.
A material
weakness is a deficiency,
or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting,
such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected on
a timely basis.
We did not
design and maintain effective controls in response to the
risks of material misstatement.
Specifically, changes to existing
controls or the implementation of new controls were not
sufficient to respond to changes to the risks of material
misstatement in
financial reporting as a result of becoming a larger,
more complex global organization due to the Combination.
This material
weakness also contributed to an additional material weakness as we did
not design and maintain effective controls
over the review of
pricing, quantity and customer data to verify that revenue
recognized was complete and accurate.
These material weaknesses did not
result in material misstatements to the interim or annual
consolidated financial statements.
However, these material weaknesses could
result in misstatements to our account balances and disclosures
that could result in a material misstatement to the interim
or annual
consolidated financial statements that would not be
prevented or detected.
Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, the Company
has concluded that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements included in this Report present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
June 30, 2021
and December 31, 2020, and that the results of its operations
and its cash flows and changes in equity for both the
three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, are in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Progress on Remediation
of Material Weaknesses
The Company and its Board of Directors, including the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, are committed to maintaining
a strong internal control environment.
Since identifying the material weaknesses, the Company
has dedicated a significant amount of
time and resources to remediate all of the previously identified
material weaknesses as quickly and effectively
as possible. During
2020 and into 2021,
the Company dedicated multiple internal resources and supplemented
those internal resources with various third-
party specialists to assist with the formalization of
a robust and detailed remediation plan.
In undertaking remediation activities, the
Company has hired additional personnel dedicated to
financial and information technology compliance to further
supplement its
internal resources.
In addition, the Company has established a global network
of personnel to assist local management in
understanding control performance and documentation
requirements.
In order to sustain this network, the Company conducts periodic
trainings and hosts discussions to address questions on
a current basis.
However, the impact of COVID-19,
including travel
restrictions and remote work arrangements required
the Company to adapt and make changes to its internal controls
integration plans
as well as its remediation plans, and has presented and
is expected to continue to present challenges with regards to the
timing of the
Company’s remediation
and integration plan activities.
Despite the challenges brought on by COVID-19 and
driven by the Company’s
priority of creating a long-term sustainable control
structure to ensure stability for a company that has more
than doubled in size since August 2019, the Company continues
to make
substantial strides towards remediating the underlying
causes of the previously disclosed material weaknesses in our
risk assessment
process and within our revenue process, as further discussed
below.
Risk Assessment –
We previously determined
that our risk assessment process was not designed adequately
to respond to changes
to the risks of material misstatement to financial reporting.
In order to remediate this material weakness, we have designed
and
implemented an improved risk assessment process, including
identifying and assessing those risks attendant to the
significant changes
within the Company as a result of becoming a larger,
more complex global organization due to the
Combination.
During 2020, a full
review was performed of our processes and controls across
significant locations in order to identify and address potential
design gaps.
In addition to individual transactional-level control enhancements,
this review resulted in (i) an enhanced financial statement
risk
assessment, (ii) the standardization of existing legal entity
and newly implemented segment quarterly analytics and
quarterly closing
packages completed by key financial reporting personnel, (iii) a
global account reconciliation review program and (iv)
enhancements
to our quarterly identification and reassessment of new and
existing business and information technology risks that could
affect our
financial reporting.
Monitoring is also performed through our enhanced quarterly
controls certification process, whereby changes in
business or information technology processes or control
owners are identified and addressed timely.
Although we have implemented
45
and tested the additional controls as noted in our remediation
plan and found them to be effective, this material
weakness will not be
considered remediated due to the Revenue – Price and
Quantity material weakness, discussed below.
Once the Revenue – Price and
Quantity material weakness is remediated, we expect
the Risk Assessment material weakness will also be remediated.
Revenue – Price and Quantity –
We previously
determined that we did not design and maintain effective
controls over the review
of pricing, quantity and customer data to verify that revenue
recognized was complete and accurate.
In order to remediate this
material weakness, the Company made significant progress
in its redesign of certain aspects of its revenue process and related
controls.
The Company has identified and agreed upon design enhancements
and requirements for each revenue sub-process.
The
design includes enhancements to entity-level and transactional
-level manual controls as well as IT general and application
controls.
During July 2021 and through the date of this Form
10-Q filing for the period ended June 30, 2021, the Company has
been in the
process of implementing these design changes both
centrally and locally.
We expect to
complete the implementation in the third
quarter of 2021.
While the Company believes that the enhancements to these
entity-level, transactional and IT general and application
controls will sufficiently address the material weakness
previously identified, because the additional controls
have not been fully
implemented and tested, this material weakness is not yet remediated.
The existing material weakness will not be considered
remediated until the applicable remedial controls have
been fully implemented and operate for a sufficient
period of time and
management has concluded, through testing, that
the controls are operating effectively.
Given the significant resources the Company has dedicated
to remediation of its material weaknesses, the Company is committed
to remediation and expects that in 2021 it will successfully implement
the enhanced design of its revenue processes and have a
sufficient operational effectiveness period
to evidence remediation over its price and quantity material weakness
and, concurrently,
evidence remediation over its risk assessment material weakness
in 2021 as well.
Changes in internal control over financial
reporting.
As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act,
our
management, including our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, has evaluated
our internal control over
financial reporting to determine whether any changes
to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during
the
quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control
over financial reporting.
Based on that evaluation, there were no changes that have materially
affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting during the quarter ended June
30, 2021.
