BENCHMARK ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(amounts in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)

(unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Benchmark Electronics, Inc. (the Company) is a Texas corporation that provides worldwide engineering services, integrated technology solutions and manufacturing services (both electronic manufacturing services (EMS) and precision technology manufacturing services) to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the following industries: industrial controls, aerospace and defense (A&D), telecommunications, computers and related products for business enterprises, medical devices, and test and instrumentation. The Company has manufacturing operations located in the United States and Mexico (the Americas), Asia and Europe.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). The financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary in the opinion of management for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the 2017 10-K).

 

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Note 2 – New Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted in 2018

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standards update that provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2018. The impact of adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements is dependent on future changes to stock-based compensation awards.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update, which seeks to reduce the existing diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this new update effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard (commonly referred to as ASC 606), which changed the way the Company recognizes revenue and significantly expanded the disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements. The Company adopted ASC 606 with a date of the initial application of January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed below.

 

The Company applied ASC 606 using the full retrospective transition method. The Company elected the ASC 606 practical expedient and does not disclose the information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. Amounts prior to January 1, 2018 that have been adjusted in accordance with ASC 606 as described herein are noted “as adjusted”.

 

Previously, the Company recognized revenue from the sale of manufactured products built to customer

6 


 

specifications and excess inventory when title and risk of ownership passed, the price to the buyer was fixed or determinable and recoverability was reasonably assured, which was generally when the goods were shipped. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue as the customer takes control of the products. Under the majority of the Company’s manufacturing contracts with customers, the customer controls all of the work-in-progress as products are being built. Revenues under these contracts are recognized progressively based on the cost-to-cost method. Accordingly, the Company will recognize revenue under these contracts earlier than under the previous accounting rules. Under other manufacturing contracts, the customer does not take control of the product until it is completed. Under these contracts, the Company continues to recognize revenue upon transfer of control of product to the customer. Revenue from design, development and engineering services also continues to be recognized over time as the services are performed.

 

The Company’s performance obligations generally have an expected duration of one year or less. The Company applies the practical expedients and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less or any significant financing components in the contracts.

 

The Company recognizes the incremental costs, if any, of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred since the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year less.

 

The following tables summarize the impacts of ASC 606 adoption on the Company’s 2017 consolidated financial statements.

Not Yet Adopted

In February 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that allows the reclassification of certain tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. This guidance is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating whether it will adopt this new guidance along with any impacts on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, none of which are expected to be material.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update, which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019.  The Company does not expect the implementation of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows and will adopt this update effective January 1, 2020.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update changing the accounting for leases, including a requirement to record all leases on the consolidated balance sheets as assets (right-of-use) and liabilities (for reasonably certain lease payments). This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt this update effective January 1, 2019, which will impact its

9 


 

consolidated balance sheet. Originally, entities were required to adopt this update using a modified retrospective approach, which required prior periods to be presented under this new standard with various practical expedients allowed. However, in July 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance which allows entities the option of recognizing the cumulative effect of applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption (January 1, 2019). The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and which transition approach will be used upon adoption.

 

The Company has determined that other recently issued accounting standards will either have no material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, or will not apply to its operations.

 

Note 3 – Revenue

The Company’s revenues are generated primarily from the sale of manufactured products built to customer specifications. The Company also generates revenue from design, development and engineering services, in addition to the sale of excess inventory.

 

Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a manufactured product to a customer. The Company’s contracts with customers are short-term in nature. Customers are generally billed when the product is shipped or as services are performed. Under the majority of the Company’s manufacturing contracts with customers, the customer controls all of the work-in-progress as products are being built. Revenues under these contracts are recognized progressively based on the cost-to-cost method. For other manufacturing contracts, the customer does not take control of the product until it is completed. Under these contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of product to the customer. Revenue from design, development and engineering services is recognized over time as the services are performed. The Company assumes no significant obligations after shipment as it typically warrants workmanship only. Therefore, the warranty provisions are generally not significant.

 

If the Company had recorded revenue, but not issued an invoice, a contract asset is recognized. The contract asset is transferred to accounts receivable when the entitlement to payment becomes unconditional.

 

Taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

 

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales.

Note 4 – Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2010 Plan) authorizes the Company, upon approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, to grant a variety of awards, including stock options, restricted shares and restricted stock units (both time-based and performance-based) and other forms of equity awards, or any combination thereof, to any director, officer, employee or consultant (including any prospective director, officer, employee or consultant) of the Company. Stock options (which have not been awarded since 2015) are granted to employees with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, generally vest over a four-year period from the date of grant and have a term of 10 years. Time-based restricted stock units granted to employees generally vest over a four-year period from the date of grant, subject to the continued employment of the employee by the Company. Performance-based restricted stock units generally vest over a three-year performance cycle, which includes the year of the grant, and are based upon the Company’s achievement of specified performance metrics. Awards under the 2010 Plan to non-employee directors have been in the form of restricted stock units, which vest in equal quarterly installments over a one-year period, starting on the grant date.

 

As of June 30, 2018, 2.7 million additional shares of common stock were available for issuance under the Company’s 2010 Plan.

 

All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. The total compensation cost recognized for stock-based awards was $2.5 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $2.3 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed income statements for stock-based awards was $0.6 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $0.9 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The compensation expense for stock-based awards is recognized over the vesting period of the awards using the straight-line method. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Awards of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units are valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. For performance-based restricted stock units, compensation expense is based on the probability that the performance goals will be achieved, which is monitored by management throughout the requisite service period. When it becomes probable, based on the Company’s expectation of performance during the

12 


 

measurement period, that more or less than the previous estimate of the awarded shares will vest, an adjustment to stock-based compensation expense is recognized as a change in accounting estimate.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the unrecognized compensation cost and remaining weighted-average amortization related to stock-based awards were as follows:

The total cash received by the Company as a result of stock option exercises for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $3.4 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized as a result of stock option exercises and the vesting of other share-based awards during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $2.2 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

 

The Company awarded performance-based restricted stock units to employees during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The number of performance-based restricted stock units that will ultimately be earned will not be determined until the end of the corresponding performance periods, and may vary from as low as zero to as high as 2.5 times the target number depending on the level of achievement of certain performance goals. The level of achievement of these goals is based upon the financial results of the Company for the last full calendar year within the performance period. The performance goals consist of certain levels of achievement using the following financial metrics: revenue growth, operating margin expansion, and return on invested capital. If the performance goals are not met based on the Company’s financial results, the applicable performance-based restricted stock units will not vest and will be forfeited. Shares subject to forfeited performance-based restricted stock units will be available for issuance under the Company’s 2010 Plan.

Note 5 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding stock equivalents. Stock equivalents include common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and other equity instruments, and are computed using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price of a share and the amount of compensation cost, if any, for future service that the Company has not yet recognized are assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company completed a non-significant business acquisition for $2.7 million. The preliminary allocation of the net purchase price resulted in $0.5 million of goodwill. The goodwill recognized in connection with the acquisition represents the future economic benefit arising from assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized, and is attributable to the general reputation, acquisition synergies and expected future cash flows of the acquisition.  The final allocation of the purchase price, which the Company expects to complete no later than one year from the acquisition date, may differ from the amounts included in these financial statements.

Management does not expect additional adjustments, if any, resulting from changes to the purchase price allocation, to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Other assets consist primarily of acquired identifiable intangible assets and capitalized purchased software costs. Intangible assets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:

Note 7 – Borrowing Facilities

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had a $430 million Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent (the Administrative Agent), and the financial institutions acting as lenders thereunder from time to time. This Credit Agreement provided for a five-year $200 million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) and a five-year $230 million term loan facility (the Term Loan). The Revolving Credit Facility was available for general corporate purposes, could be drawn in foreign currencies up to an amount equivalent to $20 million, and could be used for letters of credit up to $20 million. The Credit Agreement included an accordion feature, pursuant to which total commitments under the facility could be increased by an additional $150 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

 

The Term Loan was payable in minimum quarterly principal installments of $4.3 million in 2018, $5.8 million in 2019, and $8.6 million in 2020, with the balance payable on the maturity date.

 

Interest on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrued, at our option, at (a) the adjusted London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) plus 1.25% to 2.25%, or (b) the alternative base rate plus 0.25% to 1.25%, and was payable quarterly in arrears. The alternative base rate was equal to the highest of (i) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. The margin on the interest rates fluctuated based upon the ratio of the Company’s debt to its consolidated EBITDA. As of June 30, 2018, $148.8 million of the outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement was effectively at a fixed interest rate as a result of a $148.8 million notional interest rate swap contract discussed in Note 16. A commitment fee of 0.30% to 0.40% per annum (based on the debt to EBITDA ratio) on the unused portion of the revolving credit line was payable quarterly in arrears.

 

The Credit Agreement was generally secured by a pledge of (a) all the capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of its directly owned foreign subsidiaries, (b) any debt owed to Benchmark and its subsidiaries and (c) all or substantially all other personal property of Benchmark and its domestic subsidiaries (including, accounts receivable, contract assets, inventory
