(1)NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

ZAGG Inc and its subsidiaries (“we,” “us,” “our,” “ZAGG,” or the “Company”) is an innovation leader in mobile tech accessories for smartphones and tablets. For over 10 years, ZAGG has developed creative product solutions that enhance and protect mobile devices for consumers around the world. The Company has an award-winning product portfolio that includes screen protection, mobile keyboards, power management, cases, social tech, and personal audio sold under the ZAGG, InvisibleShield®, mophie®, and iFrogz® brands.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The Company suggests that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

 

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

 

On March 3, 2016 the Company acquired mophie inc. ("mophie") for gross up-front cash consideration of $100,000. The results of operations of mopie are included in the Company's results of operations beginning on March 3, 2016. Based on the manner in which the Company manages, evaluates, and internally reports its operations, the Company determined that mophie will be reported as a separate operating segment. See Notes 2 and 14 for additional details on the acquisition and the Company's segments.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ZAGG Inc and its wholly owned subsidiaries ZAGG International Distribution Limited (“ZAGG International”); Patriot Corporation; ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Co, Inc. (“ZAGG IP”); ZAGG Retail, Inc; mophie inc.; mophie LLC, mophie Technology Development Co., Ltd; mophie Netherlands Cooperatie U.A.; and mophie Limited. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. In addition to these policies, the Company has adopted a significant accounting policy relating to business combinations and accounting for goodwill as a result of the acquisition of mophie, as described below. Also, in connection with the acquisition of mophie, the Company changed its operating segments, as described in Note 14.

 

Business Combinations – We allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over these fair values is recorded as goodwill. We engaged an independent third-party valuation firm to assist us in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. The significant purchased classes of intangible assets recorded by us include tradenames, technology, customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and backlog. The fair values assigned to the identified intangible assets are discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 6 
 

 

Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows related to each individual asset, market position of the tradenames, as well as assumptions about cash flow savings from the tradenames, determination of useful lives, and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.

 

Goodwill At least annually and when events and circumstances warrant an evaluation, we perform our impairment assessment of goodwill. This assessment initially permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity can support the conclusion that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not need to perform the two-step impairment test for the reporting unit.

 

However, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the two step analysis is performed, which incorporates a fair-value based approach. We determine the fair value of our reporting unit based on discounted cash flows and market approach analyses as considered necessary, and consider factors such as the economy, reduced expectations for future cash flows coupled with a decline in the market price of our stock and market capitalization for a sustained period as indicators for potential goodwill impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step must be performed to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment loss, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, with the carrying amount of such goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This ASU includes a five-step process by which entities will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also will require enhanced disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to approve a one year deferral of the effective date of this ASU. This deferral was issued by the FASB in ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Deferral of the Effective Date”. As a result of ASU No. 2015-14 the Company expects that it will apply the new revenue standard to annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” Previously, debt issuance costs were recorded as assets on the balance sheet. This update requires that debt issuance costs related to a debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2016.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” This ASU provides guidance to entities that measure inventory using a method other than last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. For entities using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost, the measurement principle for their inventory changes from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. Current U.S. GAAP requires, at each financial statement date, that entities measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. The measurement of market is commonly the current replacement cost. However, entities also need to consider net realizable value and net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin in their measurement. For entities using a method other than LIFO or the retail inventory method, the ASU replaces market with net realizable value. This ASU requires prospective adoption for inventory measurement for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public business entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

 7 
 

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer to retrospectively adjust the financial statements for measurement-period adjustments that occur in periods after a business combination is consummated. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter 2016.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The ASU is effective for public business entities for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting standard, which requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use asset and lease liability. Lessees are allowed to account for short-term leases (i.e., leases with a term of 12 months or less) off-balance sheet, consistent with current operating lease accounting. A number of other significant changes to lease accounting have been effected through the issuance of this standard. The new standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-11, which simplified accounting for share-based payments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years for public business entities. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period provided that the entire ASU is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

(2)ACQUISITION OF MOPHIE INC.

 

On February 2, 2016, ZAGG and ZM Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with mophie, a California corporation, the principal shareholders of mophie named therein (the “Principal Shareholders”), and Daniel Huang as representative of the mophie shareholders, warrant holders, and option holders, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into mophie, with mophie continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). On March 3, 2016 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the Merger. The combination of ZAGG and mophie creates a diversified market leader in multiple mobile accessories categories.

 

The Company purchased mophie for total gross up-front consideration of $100,000 in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. The Merger Agreement includes an earn-out provision whereby additional consideration would be paid based on whether mophie’s 12-month Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Merger Agreement) from April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017 (“Earnout Period”) exceeds $20,000. For every dollar in Adjusted EBITDA generated during the Earnout Period that exceeds $20,000, the Company will pay additional consideration at a five times multiple (“Earnout Consideration”). Any Earnout Consideration will initially be paid by the issuance of up to $5,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock valued as of February 2, 2016 (the day prior to the public announcement of the definitive agreement on February 3, 2016).

 

In addition to the Earnout Consideration, the Company will also remit cash to the Principal Shareholders once the following contingent items related to pre-acquisition operations have been resolved:

 

Federal and state tax refunds expected to be due to the Company related to 2012 and 2013 tax years.
   
Customs and duties refunds for pre-closing overpayments of customs and duties amounts to governmental agencies.
   
Proceeds from the sale of real property located in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

 

 8 
 

 

In addition, $2,000 of the cash consideration paid to the Principal Shareholders was placed in an escrow account to cover any potential tax, legal, or other contingencies that could potentially arise relating to pre-acquisition events for which ZAGG is indemnified. If charges exceed $2,000, ZAGG may recover these amounts through a $10,000 insurance policy related to representations and warranties. Currently, the Company is not aware of any such contingencies or potential indemnity claims.

 

The following summarizes the components of the purchase consideration:

 

Cash consideration  $100,000 
Preliminary working capital adjustment   (23,478)
Preliminary contingent payments   2,027 
Preliminary fair value of earnout consideration   1,565 
Total purchase price  $80,114 

 

The total purchase price of $80,114 has been preliminarily allocated to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective preliminary fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of goodwill to reportable segments has not yet been completed.

 

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Acquisition Date. The preliminary estimates of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on estimates and assumptions and are subject to revisions, which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values presented below, when management’s estimates are finalized:

 

Cash and cash equivalents  $1,779 
Trade receivables (gross contractual receivables of $13,569)   13,483 
Inventories   37,290 
Prepaid expenses and other assets   1,073 
Income tax receivable   11,548 
Deferred tax assets   24,925 
Property and equipment   10,196 
Land held for sale   325 
Amortizable identifiable intangible assets    45,463 
Goodwill   14,092 
Current liabilities   (80,060)
Total  $80,114 

 

Due to the fact that the acquisition of mophie occurred in the current interim period and in light of the magnitude of the transaction, the Company’s fair value estimates for the purchase price, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are preliminary and may change during the allowable measurement period. The allowable measurement period continues to the date the Company obtains and analyzes all relevant information that existed as of the date of the acquisition necessary to determine the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but in no case is to exceed more than one year from the date of acquisition (March 3, 2017). The Company is analyzing information to verify assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

As part of the acquisition of mophie, the Company incurred legal, accounting, and other due diligence fees that were expensed when incurred. Total fees incurred related to the acquisition of mophie for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $2,017, which are included as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

 

Classes of acquired intangible assets include tradenames, technology, customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and backlog. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was determined using various valuation methods, including the income and market approaches. For assets valued under the income approach, the estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows for each identifiable asset was based on discount rates which incorporate a risk premium to take into account the risks inherent in those expected cash flows. The expected cash flows were estimated using available historical data adjusted based on the Company’s historical experience and the expectations of market participants. The market approach was utilized to determine appropriate royalty rates applied to the valuation of the trademarks and technology. The preliminary amounts assigned to each class of intangible asset and the related preliminary weighted average amortization periods are as follows:

 

   Intangible asset class   Weighted-average amortization period 
     
Tradenames  $18,693    10.0 years 
Patents and technology   14,137    7.6 years 
Customer relationships   10,170    5.0 years 
Non-compete agreements   2,164    5.0 years 
Backlog   299    0.3 years 
Total  $45,463      

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the mophie purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

The Company believes that the primary factors supporting the amount of goodwill recognized are the significant growth opportunities and expected synergies of the combined entity.

 

Results of Operations

 

The results of operations of mophie are included in the Company’s results of operations beginning on March 3, 2016. From March 3, 2016 through March 31, 2016, mophie generated net sales of $7,636 and had a net loss of $4,115.

 

Pro forma Results from Operations

 

The following unaudited pro-forma results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 give pro forma effect as if the acquisition and borrowings used to finance the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2015, after giving effect to certain adjustments including the amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, tax adjustments, specific transaction related expenses incurred prior to the execution date, and assumes the purchase price was allocated to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed based on their fair market values at the date of purchase.

 

   3 Months Ended 
   March 31, 2016   March 31, 2015 
Net sales  $79,759   $109,781 
Net loss  $(6,395)  $(2,997)
Basic net loss per share  $(.23)  $(.10)
Diluted net loss per share  $(.23)  $(.10)

 

The unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the transaction been consummated for the dates indicated. Furthermore, such unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of future operating results of the combined companies, due to changes in operating activities following the purchase, and should not be construed as representative of the operating results of the combined companies for any future dates or periods.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, pro forma net income includes projected amortization expense of $2,392 and $1,924, respectively. In addition, the Company included interest from the new credit facility and amortization of debt issuance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 of $493 and $523, respectively. Material non-recurring adjustments excluded from the pro forma financial information above consists of the $6,937 step up of mophie inventory to its fair value, which is expected to be recorded as an unfavorable adjustment to cost of goods sold during the six months following the acquisition date.

 

The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect events that either have occurred or may occur after the Merger, including, but not limited to, the anticipated realization of ongoing savings from operating synergies in subsequent periods. They also do not give effect to certain charges that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Merger, including, but not limited to, additional professional fees, employee integration, retention and severance costs, or product rationalization charges.

 

(3)DEBT AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

 

Concurrent with the close of the Merger on March 3, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), acting as administrative agent and swing line lender; KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., acting as joint lead arranger and sole book runner; Zions Bank (“Zions”), as joint lead arranger; and JP Morgan Chase, as a member of the bank syndicate (“Credit and Security Agreement”). The Credit and Security Agreement replaces the prior credit agreement with Wells Fargo, which was terminated upon signing the Credit and Security Agreement.

 

The Credit and Security Agreement provides an $85,000 revolving credit commitment (“Line of Credit”). Borrowings and repayments under the Line of Credit may occur from time to time in the Company’s ordinary course of business through the maturity date of March 2, 2021, at which time any amounts outstanding are to be paid in full (60-month term). All borrowings under the Line of Credit are subject to a borrowing base limit, which is calculated from outstanding accounts receivable and inventory, and reported to the administrative agent monthly. Interest on the Line of Credit will accrue at the base rate plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.50%. The Line of Credit is subject to an unused line fee calculated as 0.20% multiplied by the average unused amount of the Line of Credit.

 

The Credit and Security Agreement also provides a $25,000 term loan commitment (“Term Loan”). Principal and interest payments on the Term Loan are to be made in consecutive monthly installments of $521 commencing on April 1, 2016 and continuing until the Term Loan is paid in full on March 2, 2020 (48-month term). Interest on the Term Loan will accrue at the base rate plus 1.0% or at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.0%.

 

The Credit and Security Agreement also provides for letters of credit with a fronting fee of 0.125% (paid per annum) for all issued and outstanding letters of credit.

 

The Credit and Security Agreement provides for a lockbox and cash collateral account that will be maintained with KeyBank. The Credit and Security Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Credit and Security Agreement establishes two debt covenants that are measured on a quarterly basis starting with the quarter-ended June 30, 2016:

 

Maximum Leverage Ratio: Defined as the ratio of total funded indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit and Security Agreement), which cannot be more than 3.50 on a trailing four quarter basis.
   
Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio: Defined as the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit and Security Agreement) minus taxes, capital distributions and unfunded capital expenditures divided by the sum of interest payments, principal payments, and capital lease payments; the minimum allowed under the Credit and Security Agreement is 1.10 on a trailing four quarter basis.

 

In connection with the establishment of the Credit and Security Agreement, the Company incurred and capitalized $1,128 of direct costs; $872 of the costs are related to the line of credit and as such are reflected as a component of prepaid expense and other current assets, and $256 was reflected as an offset to long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company amortized $20 of these loan costs, which are included as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company amortized $16 of capitalized costs related to the Wells Fargo credit agreement, which are included as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. All costs capitalized associated with the Wells Fargo credit agreement were fully amortized at December 31, 2015.

 

 11 
 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, $8 and $9, respectively, in unused line fees were incurred and included as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

At March 31, 2016 and 2015, the weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings under the revolving lines of credit was 3.21% and 1.13%, respectively. At March 31, 2016, the effective interest rate on the Term Loan was 2.96%.

 

Contractual future payments under the Credit and Security Agreement are as follows:

 

   Line of Credit   Term Loan   Total 
             
Remaining 2016  $   $4,688   $4,688 
2017       6,250    6,250 
2018       6,250    6,250 
2019       6,250    6,250 
2020       1,562    1,562 
Thereafter   50,545        50,545 
Total  $50,545   $25,000   $75,545 

 

(4)INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Amortizable intangibles as of March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, were as follows:

 

   As of March 31, 2016 
   Gross Carrying Amount   Acquisitions   Accumulated Amortization   Net Carrying Amount   Weighted Average Amortization Period 
                     
Customer relationships  $41,500   $10,170   $(30,463)  $21,207    7.4 years 
Tradenames   12,921    18,693    (6,887)   24,727    9.8 years 
Patents and technology   6,002    14,137    (2,868)   17,271    8.9 years 
Non-compete agreements   4,100    2,164    (3,960)   2,304    4.9 years 
Other   324    299    (393)   230    2.2 years 
Total amortizable assets  $64,847   $45,463   $(44,571)  $65,739    8.2 years 

  

   As of December 31, 2015 
   Gross Carrying Amount   Acquisitions   Accumulated Amortization   Net Carrying Amount   Weighted Average Amortization Period 
                     
Customer relationships  $41,500   $   $(29,150)  $12,350    8.0 years 
Tradenames   12,921        (6,253)   6,668    9.5 years 
Patents and technology   5,805    198    (2,381)   3,622    11.9 years 
Non-compete agreements   4,100        (3,729)   371    4.8 years 
Other   324        (290)   34    4.1 years  
Total amortizable assets  $64,650   $198   $(41,803)  $23,045    8.4 years 

 

Customer relationships, tradenames, and other intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis consistent with their expected future cash flows over their estimated useful life, which results in accelerated amortization. The remaining amortizable intangible assets are amortized using the straight line method over their estimated useful life. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, amortization expense was $2,768 and $2,155, respectively. Amortization expense is primarily recorded as a component of operating expense. However, amortization expense related to acquired technology for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, of $22 and $21, respectively, is recorded as a component of cost of sales.

 

 12 
 

 

Estimated future amortization expense is as follows:

 

Remaining 2016  $11,920 
2017   13,315 
2018   11,030 
2019   9,606 
2020   7,013 
Thereafter   12,855 
Total  $65,739 

 

(5)INVENTORIES

 

At March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, inventories consisted of the following:

 

   March 31, 2016   December 31, 2015 
         
Finished goods  $82,085   $44,764 
Raw materials   1,670    1,148 
Total inventory  $83,755   $45,912 

 

In addition, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets were inventory deposits with third-party manufacturers at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $360 and $813, respectively.

 

(6)STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company granted 529 and 545 restricted stock units during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The restricted stock units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, were estimated to have a weighted-average fair value per share of $9.87 and $6.51, respectively. The fair value of the restricted stock units granted is based on the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The restricted stock units vest annually on a straight-line basis over a nine-month (annual board of directors’ grant) to three-year vesting term, depending on the terms of the individual grant.

 

As part of the 529 and 545 shares of restricted stock granted as discussed above, during the first three months of 2016 and 2015, the Company granted 373 and 269 shares of restricted stock, respectively, to certain executives of the Company where vesting is linked to specific performance criterion. The shares of restricted stock granted in 2016 only vest upon the Company’s achievement of specified thresholds of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA, or specific goals for the individual executive. The shares of restricted stock granted in 2015 only vested upon the achievement of specified thresholds of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA, and earnings per share. As of March 31, 2016, the Company believes it is probable that it will achieve the targets for 321 shares of restricted stock granted in the first three months of 2016. Of the 269 shares of restricted stock granted in 2015, 224 shares vested (including 7 shares granted in excess of the original grant due to the Company exceeding the operating thresholds) and 52 shares were forfeited.

 

The Company recorded share-based compensation expense only for those restricted stock units that are expected to vest. The estimated fair value of the restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the award. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $1,336 and $876, respectively, which is included as a component of selling, general, and administrative expense.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, certain ZAGG employees elected to receive a net amount of shares upon the vesting of a restricted stock unit grant in exchange for the Company paying the minimum statutory withholding amount of the employees’ tax liabilities for the fair value of the award on the vesting date. This resulted in the Company paying $621 and $718, respectively, which is reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

 

 13 
 

 

(7)INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was 19.6% and 41.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to (1) a decrease in the state rate used for deferred taxes caused by the acquisition of mophie and the resulting change in the mix of state apportionment factors, which resulted in a discrete item being recognized during 2016, and (2) reduced losses from foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at a 0% rate. The Company’s effective tax rate will generally differ from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35%, due to state taxes, permanent items, and the Company’s global tax strategy.

 

(8)EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if restricted stock units, or other common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of restricted stock units or other common stock equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the denominator used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

 

   March 31, 2016   March 31, 2015 
Net income (loss)  $(3,290)  $3,200 
Weighted average shares outstanding:          
Basic   27,710    29,380 
Dilutive effect of warrants and restricted stock units       298 
Diluted   27,710    29,678 
Earnings (loss) per share:          
Basic  $(0.12)  $0.11 
Diluted  $(0.12)  $0.11 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, warrants and restricted stock units to purchase 442 shares of common stock were not considered in calculating diluted earnings per share because the warrant or stock option exercise prices or the total expected proceeds under the treasury stock method for the warrants, restricted stock units, or stock options was greater than the average market price of common shares during the period and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

(9)TREASURY STOCK

 

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20,000 of the Company’s outstanding common stock with no expiration date. The Company’s board of directors also authorized the Company to enter into a Rule 10b5-1 plan when appropriate.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, no purchases of treasury stock occurred.

 

(10)NOTE RECEIVABLE

 

In June 2008, Lorence Harmer became a member of the Company’s board of directors and in December 2009, was appointed as the chairman of the audit committee. Mr. Harmer introduced the Company to a consumer electronics product, which became known as the ZAGGbox. The Company subsequently entered into negotiations with Teleportall, LLC (“Teleportall”), the owner of the technology used in the ZAGGbox, regarding production and distribution of the ZAGGbox. In 2009 and 2010 the Company entered into various agreements with Teleportall, including agreements appointing the Company as the exclusive distributor for the ZAGGbox in North America, issued purchase orders for ZAGGbox units in the aggregate amount of $3,500 and advanced to Teleportall a total of $3,900 against the total purchase price for the units ordered by the Company. Additionally, in May 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Harmer Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), an affiliate of Mr. Harmer, under which Holdings agreed to repurchase unsold ZAGGboxes under certain circumstances.

 

 14 
 

 

In late 2010 the Company determined that the ZAGGbox product would not be ready to market and sell during the 2010 Christmas season and the Company commenced discussions to restructure its agreements with Teleportall. As a result of the foregoing, the Company entered into an agreement with Teleportall, Mr. Harmer and several entities owned or controlled by Mr. Harmer (the “Harmer Agreement”), dated March 23, 2011, but subject to further negotiations and ratification through April 5, 2011. Pursuant to the Harmer Agreement, the parties agreed to terminate the prior agreements and convey all ZAGG rights in the ZAGGbox to Teleportall on the following terms:

 

Mr. Harmer, Teleportall, and certain of their affiliates delivered a promissory note (the “Note”) dated March 23, 2011, to the Company in the original principal amount of $4,126 which accrued interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 4% per annum (adjusted quarterly) payable as follows: (i) interest only payments (a) on September 23, 2011, and (b) thereafter on or before the last day of each calendar quarter, (ii) 50% of the net profits of each ZAGGbox sale by Teleportall and its affiliates, and (iii) the unpaid balance of principal and interest due in full on March 23, 2013. The Note was secured by certain real property, interests in entities that own real property and restricted and free-trading securities.

 

In exchange for a license fee to the Company, Teleportall and the Company entered into a License Agreement under which the Company licensed to Teleportall the use of certain ZAGG names and trademarks to sell and distribute the ZAGGbox product.

 

In exchange for commissions to be paid by the Company, Teleportall and ZAGG entered into a non-exclusive, two year Commission Agreement on March 23, 2011, under which Teleportall could make introductions of many ZAGG products in all countries where ZAGG did not then have exclusive dealing agreements in respect of the marketing, distribution or sale of its products.

 

No revenue has been recognized from Teleportall.

 

The Note was originally accounted for under the cost recovery method and was originally included in the consolidated balance sheet at $3,900 which was the value of the ZAGGbox inventory advances. The original face value of the Note of $4,126 was for reimbursement of the inventory advances and other costs associated with the ZAGGbox and approximated fair value at March 23, 2011, as the variable interest rate on the Note approximated market rates.

 

On September 20, 2011, and prior to the due date of the first interest-only payment due on the Note, Mr. Harmer and two of his affiliates, Holdings and Teleportall, filed a lawsuit in Utah state court (the “Court”) against the Company, Robert G. Pedersen, II (ZAGG’s former CEO), Brandon T. O’Brien (ZAGG’s former CFO) and KPMG LLP (ZAGG’s independent registered public accounting firm). KPMG LLP and Messrs. Pedersen and O’Brien were subsequently dismissed from the lawsuit. In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that the defendants defamed Mr. Harmer, breached the Harmer Agreement and interfered with other rights of the plaintiffs.

 

Mr. Harmer failed to make the required interest-only payment to the Company due on September 23, 2011. Thereafter, the Company filed counterclaims against Mr. Harmer, Holdings and Teleportall to collect the balance due under the Note. Also, ZAGG commenced foreclosure on the collateral securing the Note, which consisted of real property, interests in entities that own real property, and restricted and free-trading securities, which included shares of ZAGG Inc common stock.

 

On May 21, 2015, the Court issued a final judgment whereby all claims brought by Harmer were disposed of in favor of ZAGG and dismissed with prejudice. In addition, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of ZAGG on all counterclaims against Harmer, Holdings and Teleportall and ZAGG was awarded judgment in the amount of $4,735 with interest at 12% per annum until paid in full and reasonable attorney fees. Following the final judgment the Company began the foreclosure process on all remaining collateral securing the Note.

 

On June 29, 2015, the Company foreclosed on certain real property securing the Note, which was valued by an independent appraiser and determined to have a current fair value of $1,099. In conjunction with the foreclosure, the Company reclassified $801 of the Note previously collateralized by the foreclosed real property and included in other assets, and $298 of the Note collateralized by ZAGG Inc stock, as a $1,099 asset held for sale and presented it as a component of other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. After this reclassification, the remaining balance of the Note was $50.

 

 15 
 

 

On July 13, 2015, the Company foreclosed on 80 shares of ZAGG Inc common stock that were determined by the Company to have a fair value of $688 on the date of foreclosure. At the time of the foreclosure, the Note receivable balance totaled $50 and was reduced to $0. The $639 excess in value of the common stock over the book value of the Note was recorded by the Company as a recovery of a previously established reserve in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations, which is the same financial statement line item in which the Company previously recorded write-downs of the Note.

 

As of December 31, 2015, management determined that the estimated fair value of the remaining underlying collateral was between $135 and $270, consisting of real property investments.

 

Since the Note became collateral dependent in October 2011, management has (1) foreclosed on and sold 45 shares of ZAGG Inc common stock for $496 (December 2011); (2) foreclosed on real property valued at $250 (January 2012); (3) foreclosed on stock and warrants in a private company of $516 (May 2012); (4) foreclosed on real property valued at $1,099 as discussed above; and (5) foreclosed on 80 shares of ZAGG Inc common stock for $688. These foreclosures were recorded as a reduction to the Note in the period in which the foreclosure occurred. Management continues to actively pursue the foreclosure of all remaining collateral and execution on other assets of Harmer, Holdings, and Teleportall.

 

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the entire unpaid balances on the note receivable was fully reserved. The total unpaid principal balance, including accrued interest, late fees, attorney fees, and costs incurred in collection, totaled $4,939 and $4,836, respectively. The increase to the reserve during the three months ended March 31, 2016 consisted of accrued interest of $103.

 

(11)FAIR VALUE MEASURES

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

At March 31, 2016, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, a line of credit, and a term loan. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the debt balances approximate fair value because the variable interest rates reflect current market rates and terms.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company measures at fair value certain financial and non-financial assets by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

 

Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting unit to develop its own assumptions.

 

At March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, the following assets and liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the level of inputs shown:

 

       Fair Value Measurements Using: 
   March 31,
2016
   Level 1
Inputs
   Level 2 Inputs   Level 3 Inputs 
Money market funds included in cash equivalents  $5   $5         

  

       Fair Value Measurements Using: 
   December 31, 2015   Level 1 Inputs   Level 2 Inputs   Level 3 Inputs 
Money market funds included in cash equivalents  $375   $375

(12)CONCENTRATIONS

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through March 31, 2016.

 

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the balance of accounts receivable from two separate customers exceeded 10%:

 

   March 31, 2016   December 31, 2015 
Customer A   17%   29%
Customer B   34%   31%

 

No other customer account balances were more than 10% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015. If one or more of the Company’s significant customers were to become insolvent or were otherwise unable to pay for the products provided, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

Concentration of supplier

 

The Company’s logistics partners arrange for production of its raw materials related to the InvisibleShield film products primarily from one source. Management is aware of similar raw materials that would be available from other sources if required and has current plans to immediately engage such resources if necessary. A change in supplier, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect operating results.

 

Concentration of sales

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, three customers individually accounted for over 10% of the quarterly revenues in each respective quarter:

 

   Three months
ended
March 31,
2016
   Three months
ended
March 31,
2015

Commercial Litigation

 

Lorence A. Harmer, et al v ZAGG Inc et al., Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 110917687. On September 20, 2011, Lorence A. Harmer, a former director of ZAGG and two of his affiliates, Harmer Holdings, LLC, and Teleportall, LLC (the “Harmer Parties”), filed a lawsuit against the Company, Robert G. Pedersen II, Brandon T. O’Brien, and KPMG LLP. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants defamed Mr. Harmer, breached the Settlement Agreement and other agreements between the plaintiffs and the Company (alleging claims for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith, and fair dealing), and interfered with other rights of the plaintiffs. The defendants denied all of the material allegations made by the plaintiffs. KPMG LLP was dismissed from the lawsuit in January 2012. In October 2012, the Company filed a counterclaim and third-party complaint against Harmer, Holdings, Teleportall and third-party Global Industrial Services Limited asserting claims for breach of contract, deficiency, indemnity and attorneys’ fees, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, quasi contract, unjust enrichment, quantum meruit and declaratory judgment. In June 2013, the court dismissed the plaintiffs’ claims for defamation, negligence, tortious interference, and interference with prospective economic relations against the Company and all claims against Messrs. Pedersen and O’Brien. In November 2013, the court entered default judgment on the Company’s third-party complaint against Global Industrial Services Limited. On May 21, 2015, the court granted summary judgment in the Company’s favor against the Harmer Parties, and thereafter entered a final judgment against the Harmer Parties in the amount of $4,735 with interest at 12% per annum until paid in full, and dismissed all of the Harmer Parties’ remaining claims against the Company with prejudice. On October 2, 2015, the court entered an order adding the amount of $1,396 to the judgment for the attorney fees and costs incurred by the Company in the litigation. The Harmer Parties filed a notice of appeal declaring their intention to seek review of the final judgment in the Utah appellate courts. The Company is moving forward with collection efforts pursuant to the final judgment. This matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

Peter Kravitz v. ZAGG Inc., U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware, Adv. Pro. No. 15-51558(BLS). On October 29, 2015, Kravitz, as Liquidating Trustee (the “Trustee”) of the RSH Liquidating Trust (formally known as RadioShack) filed a complaint against the Company, alleging, among other things, that the Company received preference payments for product the Company sold and delivered to RadioShack in the amount of $1,834 pursuant to Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code and in the alternative pursuant to Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company believes that the Trustee’s claims are without merit and is vigorously defending against them. On February 2, 2016, the Company filed its answer to the complaint stating, among other things, that the Company has a full and complete defense to the Trustee’s allegations in that all payments were received by the Company in the ordinary course of business and all payments received by the Company were paid pursuant to ordinary business terms. The Company also asserted the defense that the Company provided subsequent new value to RadioShack and that the payments are otherwise not recoverable by the Trustee. The case is currently in the discovery phase with trial to be held in 2017. This matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

The Company intends to appeal the PTAB’s decision in the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. While under appeal, the patent remains in force. At March 31, 2016, unamortized book value of $2,163 remained on the Company’s books for acquisition costs related to this patent, which is included in the balance of intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company will assess the impact to the book value of the patent acquisition costs upon resolution of the Company’s appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.

 

Derivative Lawsuits

 

Albert Pikk v. Robert G. Pedersen II, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Utah, Case No. 2:12-cv-01188; Rosenberg v. Robert G. Pedersen II, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Utah, Case No. 2:12-cv-01216.  On December 19 and 28, 2012, two shareholder derivative complaints were filed against several of the Company’s current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the District of Utah.  These complaints make allegations similar to those presented in the consolidated class action lawsuit, and allege various state law causes of action, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and insider trading.  These complaints seek unspecified damages on behalf of the Company, which is named solely as a nominal defendant against whom no recovery is sought.  On February 26, 2013, the District Court consolidated the Pikk and Rosenberg actions under the caption In re ZAGG Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, and on June 5, 2013, plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint.  On April 4, 2014, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint, which the court granted on October 9, 2014. On January 8, 2015, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit.

The complaint made allegations similar to those presented in the consolidated class action lawsuit and alleged claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment.  The plaintiff in this action sought damages on behalf of the Company, which is named as a nominal defendant against whom no recovery is sought. The Morganstern action was dismissed pursuant to a stipulated motion to dismiss on January 22, 2016.

SEC Investigation

 

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company received requests to provide documentation and information to the staff of the SEC in connection with an investigation being conducted by the SEC’s Salt Lake City office. The Company believes the investigation includes a review of the facts and circumstances surrounding some of the same issues raised by the plaintiffs in the above lawsuits, including whether the Company failed to disclose Mr. Pedersen’s margin account sales. The Company responded to these requests and is cooperating with the staff although there has been no resolution to date.

 

Other Litigation

 

The Company is not a party to any other material litigation or claims at this time. While the Company currently believes that the amount of any ultimate potential loss for known matters would not be material to the Company’s financial condition, the outcome of these actions is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate potential loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in a particular period.

 

The Company establishes reserves when a particular contingency is probable and estimable. Other than those discussed above, the Company has not accrued for any loss at March 31, 2016 in the condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company does not consider a loss to be probable or estimable. The Company faces contingencies that are reasonably possible to occur; however, the reasonably possible exposure to losses cannot currently be estimated.

 

(14) SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company designs, produces, and distributes professional and premium creative product solutions in domestic and international markets. The Company’s operations are conducted in two reporting business segments: ZAGG and mophie. The Company defines its segments as those operations whose results its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews to analyse performance and allocate resources. The results of operations of mophie are included in the Company’s results of operations beginning on March 3, 2016.

 

The ZAGG segment designs and distributes screen protection, keyboards for tablet computers and other mobile devices, earbuds, headphones, Bluetooth speakers, mobile power, cables, and cases under the ZAGG, InvisibleShield, and iFrogz brands. Domestic operations are headquartered in Midvale, Utah, while international operations are directed from Shannon, Ireland.

 

The mophie segment designs and distributes power cases, mobile power, and cables under the mophie brand. Domestic operations are headquartered in Tustin, California, while international operations are directed from Amsterdam, Netherlands.

 

The Company measures the results of its segments using, among other measures, each segment's net sales, gross profit, and operating income (loss). The Company may revise the measurement of each segment's operating income (loss) as determined by the information regularly reviewed by the CODM.

Results of Operations

 

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 AND 2015 (amounts in thousands, except per share data)

 

Net sales

 

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $62,432 compared to net sales of $57,216 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $5,216 or 9%. The increase in sales comparing the three months ended March 31, 2016 to 2015 was primarily related to mophie sales of $7,636 from March 3, 2016, the acquisition date, to the end of the quarter. This increase was partially offset by a decline in keyboard sales due to overall softness in the tablet market compared to the prior year period.

 

The percentage of sales related to our key product lines for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, was approximately:

 

   2016   2015 
Screen Protection   65%   63%
Keyboards   12%   24%
Power Management   10%   2%
Audio   8%   7%
Power Cases   4%   - 
Other   1%   4%

 

The percentage of sales related to our key distribution channels for three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, was approximately:

 

   2016   2014 
Indirect channel   85%   89%
Website   9%   5%
Mall cart and kiosk program   6%   6%

 

The percentage of sales by geographic region for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, was approximately:

 

   2016   2015 
United States   88%   92%
Europe   9%   7%
Other   3%   1%

 

 24 
 

 

Gross profit

 

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $23,729 or approximately 38% of net sales, as compared to $22,958 or approximately 40% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in gross profit percentage is due to (1) $1,153 in expense recorded through cost of sales related to the sale of acquired mophie inventory that was recorded at fair value through purchase accounting, and (2) the impact of mophie gross profit margins, which were lower than the Company’s historical gross profit margins.

 

Operating expenses

 

Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $27,432, an increase of $9,913, or 57%, from total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015, of $17,519. The $9,913 increase was primarily attributable to increases for (1) mophie operating expenses from March 3, 2016, the date of acquisition, to the end of the quarter, which included $819 of amortization related to intangible assets acquired as part of the mophie acquisition, (2) $2,017 of expenses incurred related to the acquisition of mophie, (3) salaries and benefits due to additional management team headcount, and (4) stock-based compensation expenses due to 2016 grants being made at a higher stock price compared to the prior period.

 

Income (loss) from operations

 

We reported a loss from operations of ($3,703) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to income from operations of $5,439 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $9,142. The decrease in income from operations was due primarily to the mophie loss from operations of ($4,116), mophie acquisition expenses of $2,017, and the other operating expense items discussed above. These decreases were partially offset by increased profit margins and income from operations from the ZAGG segment.

 

Other income (expense)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, total other expense, net was $388 compared to other income, net of $53 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in expense is primarily related to interest expense incurred on the higher debt levels compared to the prior period.

 

Income taxes

 

We recognized an income tax benefit of $801 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to income tax expense of $2,292 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Our effective tax rate was 19.6% and 41.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due (1) a decrease in the state rate used for deferred taxes caused by the acquisition of mophie and the resulting change in the mix of state apportionment factors, which resulted in a discrete item being recognized during 2016, and (2) reduced losses from foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at a 0% rate. The Company’s effective tax rate will generally differ from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35%, due to state taxes, permanent items, and the Company’s global tax strategy.

 

Net income (loss)

 

As a result of these factors, we reported a net loss of $3,290 or ($0.12) per share on a fully diluted basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared to net income of $3,200 or $0.11 per share on a fully diluted basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

 

Segment Information

 

ZAGG segment net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $54,796 compared to net sales of $57,216 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $2,420 or 4%. The decrease in net sales was largely due to a decline in keyboard sales due to overall softness in the tablet market compared to the prior year period. Net sales for the mophie segment, which included sales from the March 3, 2016 acquisition date to March 31, 2016, totaled $7,636.

 

 25 
 

 

ZAGG net income from operations totaled $413 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to income from operations of $5,439 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $5,026. The decrease in income from operations was due primarily to mophie acquisition expenses of $2,017, increased salaries and benefits due to additional management team headcount, and increased stock-based compensation expenses due to 2016 grants being made at a higher stock price compared to the prior period. These decreases were partially offset by increased profit margins. The net loss from operations for the mophie segment totaled ($4,116).

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources (in thousands)

 

At March 31, 2016, our principal sources of liquidity are cash used in operations due to mophie working capital requirements, cash on-hand, the term loan, and a revolving line of credit. Our principal uses of cash have been the acquisition of mophie and to fund working capital requirements.

 

Cash and cash equivalents on-hand decreased to $6,162 on March 31, 2016, from $13,002 on December 31, 2015, a decrease of $6,840. The decrease in cash is largely the result of cash used for the purchase of mophie, cash used for working capital requirements at mophie, and purchases of fixed assets; these decreases were partially offset by strong cash collections during the first quarter of 2016 from accounts receivable outstanding at December 31, 2015. Earnings from foreign operations are considered permanently re-invested and of the $6,162 cash balance on March 31, 2016, cash from foreign entities totaled $3,872, which constitutes 63% of the total cash and cash equivalents balance.

 

Accounts receivable, net of allowances, decreased to $53,170 on March 31, 2016, from $57,647 on December 31, 2015, a decrease of $4,477. The decrease is due to strong cash collections from accounts receivable outstanding at December 31, 2015. This decrease was partially offset by accounts receivable from the mophie acquisition.

 

Accounts payable increased to $54,495 on March 31, 2016, from $33,846 on December 31, 2015, an increase of $20,649. The increase is due to the acquisition of mophie and related payables, which was partially offset by payments made during the first quarter of 2016 on payable balances due at December 31, 2015.

 

At March 31, 2016, we had working capital of $46,738 compared to $82,677 as of December 31, 2015. The decrease in working capital is primarily related to the current liability classification of the line of credit under US GAAP, although the maturity date is not until March 3, 2021. Despite the maturity date in 2021, US GAAP requires that the line of credit be classified as a current liability due the existence of a lockbox arrangement with the bank whereby cash collections are automatically swept against the line of credit.

 

Based on the current level of operations, we believe that cash generated from operations, cash on hand, and available borrowings under existing credit arrangements will be adequate to fund expected capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next 12 months.

 

Segment Information

 

ZAGG segment cash and cash equivalents decreased to $5,827 on March 31, 2016, from $13,002 on December 31, 2015, a decrease of $7,175. The decrease in cash is largely the result of cash from operations of $17,457, offset by cash used for the purchase of mophie and purchases of fixed assets. mophie segment cash and cash equivalents totaled $335 and mophie was a user of cash from operations of ($21,443) due to working capital requirements.

 

Debt and Letters of Credit

 

Concurrent with the close of the Merger on March 3, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), acting as administrative agent and swing line lender; KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., acting as joint lead arranger and sole book runner; Zions Bank (“Zions”), as joint lead arranger; and JP Morgan Chase, as a member of the bank syndicate (“Credit and Security Agreement”). The Credit and Security Agreement replaces the prior credit agreement with Wells Fargo, which was terminated upon signing the Credit and Security Agreement.

The Credit and Security Agreement provides an $85,000 revolving credit commitment (“Line of Credit”). Borrowings and repayments under the Line of Credit may occur from time to time in the Company’s ordinary course of business through the maturity date of March 2, 2021, at which time any amounts outstanding are to be paid in full (60-month term). All borrowings under the Line of Credit are subject to a borrowing base limit, which is calculated from outstanding accounts receivable and inventory, and reported to the administrative agent monthly. Interest on the Line of Credit will accrue at the base rate plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.50%. The Line of Credit is subject to an unused line fee calculated as 0.20% multiplied by the average unused amount of the Line of Credit.

 

The Credit and Security Agreement also provides a $25,000 term loan commitment (“Term Loan”). Principal and interest payments on the Term Loan are to be made in consecutive monthly installments of $521 commencing on April 1, 2016 and continuing until the Term Loan is paid in full on March 2, 2020 (48-month term). Interest on the Term Loan will accrue at the base rate plus 1.0% or at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.0%.

 

The Credit and Security Agreement also provides for letters of credit with a fronting fee of 0.125% (paid per annum) for all issued and outstanding letters of credit.

 

The Credit and Security Agreement provides for a lockbox and cash collateral account that will be maintained with KeyBank. The Credit and Security Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Credit and Security Agreement establishes two debt covenants that are measured on a quarterly basis starting with the quarter-ended June 30, 2016:

 

Maximum Leverage Ratio: Defined as the ratio of total funded indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit and Security Agreement), which cannot be more than 3.50 on a trailing four quarter basis.
   
Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio: Defined as the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit and Security Agreement) minus taxes, capital distributions and unfunded capital expenditures divided by the sum of interest payments, principal payments, and capital lease payments; the minimum allowed under the Credit and Security Agreement is 1.10 on a trailing four quarter basis.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks result primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, and other regulations and restrictions.

 

To date we have not utilized derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. We do not expect to employ these or other strategies to hedge market risk in the foreseeable future. We invest our cash in money market funds, which are subject to minimal credit and market risk. We believe that the market risks associated with these financial instruments are immaterial, although there can be no guarantee that these market risks will be immaterial to us.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15b under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be included in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The acquisition of mophie on March 3, 2016, represents a material change in internal control over financial reporting since management’s last assessment of our internal control over financial reporting which was completed as of December 31, 2015. The mophie business utilizes separate information and accounting systems and processes. We intend to exclude the operations of mophie from the scope of our Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 report on internal controls over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2016. We are in the process of implementing our internal control structure over the acquired mophie operations and expect that this effort will be completed in 2016. We intend to extend our Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance program to include the mophie business beginning in 2017.

 

Other than the acquisition of mophie, there were no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies which may be identified during this process.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Nevertheless, an internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system reflects the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls are considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
