CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words "may," "could," "would," "should," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "estimate," "target," "project," "intend," "can," "continue," "potential," "predicts," "will" and the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements include, among others, statements regarding our expected business and market outlook, anticipated financial and operating results, including the realization of net sales from our sales backlog, our business strategy and means to implement the strategy, our objectives, industry trends, including statements regarding expected demand and product order levels, the amount of payments we may be required to make under our tax receivable agreements, the likelihood of our success in expanding our business, financing and refinancing plans, budgets, working capital needs, borrowing availability under our revolving credit agreement and other sources of liquidity.

 

Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions, which, in turn, are based on currently available information. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those described in the discussion below as well as in (1) Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" and Part II, Item 7 - "Critical Accounting Policies" within "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012; (2) our reports and registration statements filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); and (3) other announcements we make from time to time. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED/COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

We are a leading global distributor of specialty products to the energy sector, including steel pipe, valves, quenched and tempered and high yield heavy plate, and related components, primarily focusing on serving customers that operate in the upstream (conventional and unconventional oil and natural gas exploration, drilling and production in both onshore and offshore environments), midstream (gathering, processing, fractionation, transportation and storage of oil and natural gas) and downstream (refining and petrochemical applications) end-markets for oil and natural gas. We also serve power generation, civil construction and mining end-markets, which have a similar need for specialized steel and specialty products. As of June 30, 2013, we had operations in thirteen countries and sales representative offices in three additional countries. Our corporate headquarters is located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

 

We were incorporated in December 2011 as a Delaware corporation to serve as the issuer in an initial public offering (“IPO”) and as the ultimate parent company of our operating subsidiaries, Edgen Murray Corporation (“EMC”) and its subsidiaries and Bourland & Leverich Supply Co. LLC (“B&L”). We own and control these operating subsidiaries through our approximately 44% economic interest in, and our 100% voting control of, our consolidated subsidiary, EDG Holdco LLC (“EDG LLC”), which indirectly owns 100% of, and controls, EMC and B&L. We completed the IPO on May 2, 2012. Immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO, we effected a reorganization of our business (the “Reorganization”), as a result of which we became the parent holding company of the historical businesses of Edgen Murray II, L.P. (“EM II LP”) and Bourland & Leverich Holdings LLC (“B&L Holdings”). We have consolidated the financial results of these businesses with our own. The Reorganization was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control, as we, EM II LP, B&L Holdings, EDG LLC and B&L have been since July 2010, and continue to be, under the collective common control of affiliates of Jefferies Capital Partners (“JCP”).

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated/combined consolidated financial statements of Edgen Group Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the combined consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated/combined consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation. Where appropriate, we have reclassified the prior year financial statements to conform to current year presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for a full year.

 

We did not own any assets prior to the IPO and the Reorganization. As required by GAAP for common control transactions, all assets and liabilities transferred to us as part of the Reorganization were recorded in our financial statements at carryover basis.

 

For periods prior to the IPO and the Reorganization, the condensed combined consolidated financial statements and related notes presented within this Form 10-Q reflect the Reorganization as if it had occurred on July 19, 2010, the date that EM II LP and B&L Holdings came under common control of JCP. As such, the periods prior to the IPO reflect the combined assets, liabilities and operations of the historical businesses of EM II LP and B&L Holdings (collectively, the “Predecessor”).

 

For periods subsequent to the IPO and the Reorganization, the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes presented within this Form 10-Q include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. We also consolidate other entities in which we possess a controlling financial interest or in which we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entities’ performance.

 

We record the portion of our consolidated subsidiaries that we do not own as non-controlling interest in the condensed consolidated/combined consolidated financial statements. For periods prior to the IPO, non-controlling interest reflects the 30% interest we do not own in a consolidated Bahraini joint venture. In the periods subsequent to the IPO, non-controlling interest also includes the combined interest of approximately 56% of EDG LLC that is owned by EM II LP and B&L Holdings.

 

Our reportable segments are Energy & Infrastructure (“E&I”) and Oil Country Tubular Goods (“OCTG”). See Note 9 – Segment Information for further discussion.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies. Updates to the Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) are communicated through the issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”).

 

Recently Adopted

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update to existing guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income requires companies to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) by component. For significant items reclassified out of AOCI to net income in their entirety during the reporting period, companies must report the effect on the line items in the financial statement where net income is presented. For significant items not reclassified to net income in their entirety during the period, companies must provide cross references in the notes to other disclosures that already provide information about those amounts. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2013 and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated/combined consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. ASU 2013-10 permits the use of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes and also removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. ASU 2013-10 is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-10 to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 clarifies the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-11 to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we made a partial repayment of $20.0 million on the Seller Note, including $16.5 million of the principal balance and $3.5 million of the accrued interest outstanding. In connection with this repayment, we expensed $1.7 million of unamortized discount, which is classified as loss on prepayment of debt within our condensed consolidated/combined consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2013, the remaining principal, accrued interest and unamortized discount associated with the Seller Note were $20.5 million, $5.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, our weighted average interest rates paid for cash borrowings under our Global Credit Agreement were 3.8% and 4.0%, respectively. Our EM FZE facility did not have any cash borrowings during the three or six months ended June 30, 2013. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, our weighted average interest rates paid for cash borrowings ranged from 4.5% to 4.7% and 4.5% to 4.6%, respectively, under our previously existing revolving credit facilities. Our EM FZE facility did not have any cash borrowings during the three months ended June 30, 2012, and the weighted average interest rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 2.3%.

 

Third Party Guarantees

 

In the normal course of business, we may provide performance guarantees directly to third parties on behalf of our subsidiaries.

 

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had the following outstanding guarantees:

7. Supplemental Disclosure to Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing the earnings attributable to Edgen Group Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during each period, which includes Class A common stock issued in connection with equity offerings, restricted stock that has vested and shares that have been purchased through the exercise of vested stock options. Diluted earnings per share amounts include the dilutive effect of stock options (using the treasury stock method as prescribed by GAAP) and other stock awards granted to employees under the Edgen Group Inc. 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”).

 

Prior to the IPO and the Reorganization, all income or loss generated from our operations was allocated to the Predecessor. Because we historically operated as a series of related partnerships and limited liability companies and there was no single capital structure upon which to calculate historical earnings per share information, we have not provided a calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for periods prior to the IPO and the Reorganization on our condensed consolidated/combined consolidated statement of operations.

 

The table below presents the weighted-average shares that were excluded from our dilutive earnings (loss) per share calculation due to their anti-dilutive nature for the periods indicated:

 

   

Three months ended June 30,

   

Six months ended June 30,

Class A unvested restricted shares

    963,167       311,317       934,734       311,317  

Class A options (vested and unvested)

    1,599,438       1,723,981       1,620,074       1,723,981  

Total anti-dilutive shares

    2,562,605       2,035,298       2,554,808       2,035,298  

 

Edgen Group Inc. did not have any assets or operations, nor did it have any common stock outstanding prior to the IPO and the Reorganization on May 2, 2012. As such, the anti-dilutive shares shown above for both periods of 2012 are for the period from May 2, 2012 to June 30, 2012.

 

The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings of Edgen Group Inc. and are therefore not participating securities. Accordingly, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class B common stock have not been presented on our condensed consolidated/combined consolidated statement of operations.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

 

We are involved in various claims, lawsuits and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although we attempt to collect from our suppliers any amounts paid to our customers arising from warranty claims and lawsuits, there can be no assurance that we will be able to recover from our suppliers, in every instance, any or all of the amounts claimed by our customers. While there are uncertainties inherent in the ultimate outcome of such matters and it is impossible to presently determine the ultimate costs that may be incurred, we believe the resolution of such uncertainties and the incurrence of such costs will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Tax Receivable Agreement

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we incurred a charge associated with Bourland and Leverich Supply Co. LLC’s (“B&L Supply”) cash redemption of EMC’s interest in B&L Supply. As part of the redemption, we became contingently obligated under our Tax Receivable Agreement with EM II LP to pay 85% of any realized cash tax savings that we receive over the next fifteen years, which was estimated to be $2.3 million at June 30, 2013. This amount is reflected in other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated/combined consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013.

 

 

9. Segment Information

 

We have two reportable segments: E&I and OCTG. Certain overhead operating expenses of our non-trading entities, including EM Holdings, EDG LLC and Edgen Group, are not allocated to the segments, but are included in Corporate.

 

The E&I segment, which is branded under the “Edgen Murray” name, serves customers in the Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa and Asia Pacific regions distributing pipe, plate, valves and related components to upstream, midstream, downstream and select power generation, civil construction and mining customers across more than 35 global locations.

 

The OCTG segment, which is branded under the “Bourland & Leverich” name, provides oil country tubular goods, including tubing and casing, to the upstream conventional and unconventional onshore drilling end-market in the U.S. through nine customer sales and service locations and over 50 third-party owned distribution facilities.

 

Our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer evaluates segment performance based on net income (loss) before income taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense. We account for sales between segments at an agreed arms-length margin between segment management.

The following tables present the financial information for each reportable segment. The prior period information related to the combined results of the Predecessor has been recast to conform to our change in segments made in connection with the IPO and the Reorganization:

10. Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments

 

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency rates. We enter into derivative financial instruments to manage certain exposures to these risks. Our derivative policy requires that only known firm commitments are hedged and does not allow us to enter into any derivative instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. We do not designate any of our outstanding derivatives as hedging instruments and as such, account for all of our derivatives using mark-to-market accounting.

Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

Transactions hedged by us include forecasted purchase commitments. The total notional amount of outstanding forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $42.8 million and $38.9 million, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we did not have derivatives designated as hedging instruments. The following table provides a balance sheet overview of our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments at the dates indicated:

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the cumulative effect of currency translation adjustments was a loss of $27.8 million and $21.9 million, respectively, and is the sole component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Of this amount at June 30, 2013, $15.9 million was allocated to non-controlling interest and the remaining $11.9 million was classified within accumulated other comprehensive loss. Of this amount at December 31, 2012, $12.6 million was allocated to non-controlling interest and the remaining $9.3 million was classified within accumulated other comprehensive loss. Currency translation adjustments are the result of the translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Our variable interest rate risk is limited to cash borrowings under our credit facilities which are subject to interest rates that fluctuate with market rates. This risk is partially mitigated due to the short-term nature of these borrowings. There were no interest rate derivatives outstanding at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

Credit Risk

 

By using derivative instruments to manage our risk exposure, we are subject to credit risk on those derivative instruments. Credit risk arises from the potential failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative instrument. We attempt to limit this risk by entering into derivative instruments with bank counterparties with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

 

 

11. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

 

We classify financial assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis using a hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. GAAP defines fair value as 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 (exit price). We classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

 

 
13

 

 

 

Level 1: Inputs based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

 

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

 

Level 3: Inputs reflect management's best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.

 

Our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

Forward contracts are valued using broker quotations or market transactions in either the listed or over-the counter markets. Management performs procedures to validate the information obtained from the broker quotations in calculating the ultimate fair values. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2.

 

The comparison of carrying value and estimated fair value of certain financial instruments are presented below:

The fair value of the 2020 Notes, excluding unamortized discount, has been estimated based upon market quotes approximating the fair value at the dates indicated. As such, the 2020 Notes are classified within Level 1.

 

The fair value amounts shown are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we would realize upon disposition, nor do they indicate our intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument. We believe that the carrying amounts of our other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short term nature.

Overview of Business

 

We are a leading global distributor of specialty products to the energy sector, including steel pipe, valves, quenched and tempered and high yield heavy plate, and related components. We manage our business in two reportable segments: Energy & Infrastructure (“E&I”) and Oil Country Tubular Goods (“OCTG”), while primarily focusing on serving customers that operate in the upstream (conventional and unconventional oil and natural gas exploration, drilling and production in both onshore and offshore environments), midstream (gathering, processing, fractionation, transportation and storage of oil and natural gas) and downstream (refining and petrochemical applications) end-markets for oil and natural gas. We also serve power generation, civil construction and mining end-markets, which have a similar need for specialized steel and specialty products. As of June 30, 2013, we had operations in thirteen countries and sales representative offices in three additional countries, with our headquarters located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The following map shows our geographic footprint:

 

 

Our business is highly dependent on conditions in the energy industry and, in particular, our customers’ willingness to make capital and operating expenditures for oil and natural gas infrastructure and exploration. We believe that worldwide demand for oil and natural gas and its impact on oil and natural gas prices are key indicators for our business, as our customers take those factors into consideration when making their capital and maintenance spending decisions. We also believe that the land-based rig count in North America is an additional key indicator, as it impacts business conditions related to our OCTG business.

 

Markets

 

E&I. Global economic uncertainty continued to impact our customers’ willingness to release orders during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and resulted in project award delays, particularly from upstream offshore jack up rig construction. Since late 2012, short supplier lead times have resulted in our customers taking a “wait and see’ attitude and seeking additional price concessions. However, we did see improved bid activity during the three months ended June 30, 2013, and the overall rate of new sales orders received increased slightly, but with deliveries scheduled for late 2013 and early 2014.

OCTG. Prices for North American oil country tubular goods continued to decline during the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to excess U.S. steel-manufacturing capacity and increased imports. In the short term, we do not expect significant price improvements until there is a better balance between demand, U.S. mill capacity and import levels.

 

On July 2, 2013, nine U.S. manufacturers of oil country tubular goods filed an anti-dumping trade case against nine foreign countries claiming they had been harmed by unfair trade practices. Although the ultimate outcome of this case is unpredictable, a favorable ruling for the U.S. manufacturers could result in improved pricing for oil country tubular goods and a decrease in overall available supply.

E&I. The decrease in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 was the result of lower volumes and a weak pricing environment in North America, which was partially offset by a favorable mix of products sold as well as the impact of the operating results of our 2012 acquisitions. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, sales volume declines were concentrated primarily within the midstream and upstream end-markets in North America, as many customers continued to absorb materials purchased in 2012 for projects that are currently being completed. Additionally, both of these end markets began the current three-months ended with sales backlog levels that were approximately 50% lower than the same period in 2012. Partially offsetting the declines experienced in North America were increased net sales in the upstream end-market for our EMEA region, which, despite a competitive pricing environment, has been positively impacted by our 2012 acquisitions as well as organic growth resulting from strategic investments in personnel and locations.

 

OCTG. Our results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 continued to be impacted by unfavorable market conditions, including an 11% decline in average U.S land-based drilling rig counts (as measured by Baker Hughes Incorporated at www.bakerhughes.com) quarter over quarter and limited pricing opportunities, as the supply of oil country tubular goods from excess mill capacity and increased imports continued to outpace demand. Our net sales decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 as a result of this pricing pressure, which caused our average selling price to be approximately 10% below the prior year period. Partially offsetting this decrease was a slight increase in sales volumes. We believe that we were successful in increasing our volumes in a declining market due, in part, to the successful renewal of our key customer drilling programs.

E&I. The decline in income from operations for our E&I segment for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily the result of the decrease in net sales described above and, to a lesser extent, an increase in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, which were partially offset by improved profitability of the products sold and a decrease in amortization expense.

 

During 2013, we have continued to invest in the future growth potential of Edgen Group Inc. As a result, our SG&A increased $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from the same period in 2012 due to opening new offices in Europe and a distribution center in south Texas to assist future growth potential for our products and services. Current period SG&A expense was also impacted by the inclusion of $1.8 million of operating expenses related to our 2012 acquisitions.

OCTG. The decline in income from operations for our OCTG segment during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily related to the decrease in sales prices, as noted above, partially offset by a $3.0 million SG&A charge in 2012 associated with vesting period acceleration for certain equity-based awards previously granted to segment employees that did not reoccur in the current period.

 

Corporate. Corporate loss from operations increased during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increased equity-based compensation expense and higher accounting, legal and audit fees.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred a loss related to our early repayment of the BL term loan debt and partial repayment of the Seller Note; we extinguished this debt with a portion of the IPO net proceeds.

 

Interest expense net

 

The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to lower interest rates during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 as a result of debt repayments and refinancings completed during 2012.

 

Income tax expense (benefit)

 

Due to the organizational structure of our subsidiaries, some of which are pass-through entities for income tax purposes, and others which are corporations, the effective tax rate calculated from our condensed consolidated/combined consolidated financial statements is not indicative of our actual effective tax rate, which is a combination of the effective tax rates of our taxable subsidiaries, adjusted for our ownership percentage of each subsidiary.

 

The income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 reflects taxable income at an annualized estimated effective tax rate of approximately 17%. Prior to the IPO and Reorganization, we did not incur tax on the income earned by the subsidiary that comprises our OCTG segment because that subsidiary was a pass-through entity for income tax purposes. As a result of the Reorganization, we now incur tax expense as a result of our allocation of the OCTG segment’s income. Additionally, we did not recognize a tax benefit for taxable losses generated in our E&I segment by our U.S. operations during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 due to a valuation allowance that has been established against any tax benefits related to these taxable losses. As a result, any tax benefits from our E&I segment's U.S. operations were excluded in deriving our estimated annual effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

E&I. The decrease in sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily related to volume declines around our carbon pipe materials commonly used in midstream gathering applications and continued delays in project awards within the upstream end-market for North America. Both the midstream and upstream end-markets had significantly lower backlog levels entering 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, which also contributed to the net sales decline. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased sales volumes in the upstream end-market in our EMEA region, which was positively impacted by our 2012 acquisitions as well as by organic growth resulting from strategic investments in personnel and locations.

 

OCTG. The decline in sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily the result of an approximate 10% decline in our average selling price. Despite an overall decrease of 12% in the average U.S. land-based drilling rig count (as measured by Baker Hughes Incorporated at www.bakerhughes.com) period over period, we successfully maintained our volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to our success at renewing our key customer drilling programs.

E&I. Income from operations for our E&I segment for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased from the same period in 2012 primarily due to the decrease in net sales described above and, to a lesser extent, an increase in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, which were partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense during the period, as certain previously acquired intangible assets were fully amortized during 2012.

 

As discussed above, during 2013, we have continued to invest in our future growth potential. As a result, our SG&A increased $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from the same period in 2012 due to opening new offices in Europe and a distribution center in south Texas to assist future growth potential for our products and services. Current period SG&A expense was also impacted by the inclusion of $3.5 million of operating expenses related to our 2012 acquisitions.

 

OCTG. The decline in income from operations for our OCTG segment for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily related to the decrease in net sales noted above, partially offset by a $3.0 million 2012 SG&A charge associated with the acceleration of the vesting period for certain equity-based awards previously granted to segment employees that did not reoccur in the current six-month period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we incurred a charge associated with B&L Supply’s cash redemption of EMC’s interest in B&L Supply. As part of the redemption, we became obligated under our Tax Receivable Agreement with EM II LP to pay 85% of any realized cash tax savings that we may receive over the next fifteen years, which was estimated to be $2.3 million at June 30, 2013.

        

Loss on prepayment of debt

 

Loss on prepayment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2013 related to a partial prepayment of the Seller Note in January 2013. Loss on prepayment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2012 related to our early repayment of the BL term loan debt and partial repayment of the Seller Note; we extinguished this debt with a portion of the IPO net proceeds.

 

Interest expense net

 

The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to lower interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 as a result of debt repayments and refinancing completed during 2012.

 

Income tax expense (benefit)

 

Due to the organizational structure of our subsidiaries, some of which are pass-through entities for income tax purposes, and others which are corporations, the effective tax rate calculated from our condensed consolidated/combined consolidated financial statements is not indicative of our actual effective tax rate, which is a combination of the effective tax rates of our taxable subsidiaries, adjusted for our ownership percentage of each subsidiary.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus loss on prepayment of debt, expense related to our obligation under our tax receivable agreement and equity-based compensation expense.

 

For the following reasons, we believe EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA represent an effective supplemental means by which to measure our operating performance: (a) management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to, among other things, evaluate the performance of our operating segments, develop budgets and measure our performance against those budgets, determine employee bonuses and evaluate our cash flows in terms of cash needs and (b) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA enable us and our investors to evaluate and compare our results from operations in a more meaningful and consistent manner by excluding specific items which are not reflective of ongoing operating results, such as items related to capital structure, taxes and certain non-cash charges.

 

These Non-GAAP measures, as calculated by us, are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Additionally, because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not account for certain items which may be material to a complete evaluation of our operating results, the measures have material limitations as analytical tools and are not considered by our management in isolation of, as an alternative to or superior to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, net cash flow provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We believe that the line item on our condensed consolidated/combined consolidated statements of operations entitled “net income (loss)” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is shown below:

Sales Backlog

 

Our sales backlog within our E&I segment represents our estimate of potential future net sales that may result from contracts/orders currently awarded to us by our customers. Sales backlog is determined by the amount of unshipped third-party customer purchase orders and may be revised upward or downward, or canceled by our customers in certain instances. Realization of net sales from sales backlog is dependent on, among other things, our ability to fulfill purchase orders and transfer title to customers, which in turn is dependent on a number of factors, including our ability to obtain product from our suppliers. Further, because of the project nature of our business, sales orders and sales backlog can vary materially from quarter to quarter.

 

Within our OCTG segment, we do not aggregate our expected sales to track sales backlog, as there is generally a minimal interval between securing an order and sales recognition.

 

The table below presents our sales backlog at the end of each period indicated:

E&I sales backlog

  $ 274     $ 248     $ 405  

 

Sales backlog for our E&I segment is primarily composed of sales orders related to: (1) the construction of offshore high performance multi-purpose platform, or jack-up, oil rigs and other offshore exploration and production infrastructure; (2) oil and natural gas gathering and storage systems; and (3) civil construction and mining.  Additionally, due to the nature of the projects included in our sales backlog at June 30, 2013 as compared to the projects included in our sales backlog at June 30, 2012, we expect that the realization of net sales from these projects will occur over a longer period of time due to the nature of the orders.

 

We view backlog as one indicator of short-term financial results, because our backlog generally ships to customers within twelve months of receiving an order. We do not consider backlog as a long-term indicator of our future growth. There can be no assurance that sales backlog will ultimately be realized as net sales or that we will earn a profit on any of our sales backlog.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

Typically, our principal sources of liquidity are the collection of our accounts receivable and borrowings made under our Global Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2013, we had $13.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand, $205.6 million of borrowing availability under our Global Credit Agreement and $3.8 million of borrowing availability under our EM FZE facility. Typically, our primary cash requirements include normal operating expenses, debt service requirements, tax distributions to non-controlling interests and funding of working capital, capital expenditures and business acquisitions. We expect to fund these needs as follows:

 

 

 

Operations and distributions to non-controlling interests. Cash flows from operations and/or from borrowings under our Global Credit Agreement;

 

 

 

Debt Service. Cash flows from operations, refinancing arrangements and/or issuances of additional equity and debt securities and

 

 

 

Business Acquisitions. Cash on hand, cash flows from operations, borrowings under our Global Credit Agreement and/or issuance of additional equity and debt securities.

 

Based on current market conditions, we believe that we will have sufficient liquidity, cash flows from operations and access to capital markets to fund future recurring operating and investing activities, to service our indebtedness, and to make payments under our tax receivable agreement; however, our ongoing ability to comply with our debt service requirements depends largely on the achievement of adequate levels of operating performance and cash flow. In the event our operating performance and cash flow was not adequate to service such debt service requirements, we would pursue various alternatives in an attempt to successfully resolve any cash shortfalls.

 

Additionally, as of June 30, 2013, approximately $10.4 million of our cash and cash equivalents were held outside the U.S. These balances held in foreign jurisdictions can be repatriated to the U.S.; however, they would be subject to federal income taxes, less applicable foreign tax credits. We have not provided U.S. income tax expense on earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, as we expect to reinvest the undistributed earnings indefinitely.

Operating activities. Net cash used in operations decreased by $46.7 million primarily due to reduced working capital requirements during 2013 compared to 2012 as a result of reduced business activity.

 

Investing activities. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities relates to a decrease in our purchases of property, plant and equipment from 2012 to 2013.

 

Financing activities. The decrease of $61.8 million from 2012 to 2013 was primarily the result of proceeds that we received from our IPO during 2012 of $153.9 million, which were used to repay our BL term loan of $125.3 million. The remainder of the decline primarily related to a $25.3 million change in the total net proceeds used under our revolving credit facilities. 

 

Indebtedness

 

2020 Notes

 

On October 16, 2012, we completed an offering of $540.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.75% senior secured notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) with an original issue discount of $3.9 million, through a private placement in accordance with Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act. The 2020 Notes, bearing interest at 8.75% per year due on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning May 1, 2013, are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of our existing and certain of our future significant domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than the issuer, EMC).

Seller Note

 

In August 2010, B&L Holdings issued a $50.0 million note to the former owner of B&L’s predecessor business (the “Seller Note”), with an original issue discount of $6.2 million. The Seller Note accrues interest at a base rate of 2.18% and a contingent rate of 5.82% for an aggregate interest rate of 8.0%, which compounds annually. A portion of the accrued interest equal to 37.5% of the base rate is due annually, while the remaining portion of accrued interest is added to the principal balance to be paid at maturity in August 2019. On January 28, 2013, we made a partial repayment of $20.0 million on the Seller Note, including $16.5 million of the principal balance and $3.5 million of the accrued interest outstanding. Additionally, as a result of this repayment, we expensed $1.7 million of unamortized discount, which is classified as loss on prepayment of debt within our condensed consolidated/combined consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2013, the principal, accrued interest and unamortized discount of our Seller Note was $20.5 million, $5.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

 

Global Credit Agreement

 

On December 21, 2012, Edgen Group Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new asset based revolving credit agreement (“Global Credit Agreement”). The Global Credit Agreement was dated as of December 20, 2012 and entered into by and among EMC and B&L (“US Borrowers”); the Company, EDG LLC, EM Holdings LLC, EMGH Limited, and Pipe Acquisition Limited, as guarantors; Edgen Murray Canada Inc. (“Canadian Borrower”); Edgen Murray PTE. LTD. (“Singapore Borrower”); Edgen Murray Europe Limited, HSP Group Limited, HS Pipequipment (Holdings) Limited, H.S. Pipequipment Limited, H.S. Pipequipment (Aberdeen) Limited, H.S. Pipequipment (Northern) Limited, and HSP Valves Limited (“UK Borrowers” and, collectively with the US Borrowers, Canadian Borrower and Singapore Borrower, the “Borrowers”); Bank of America, N.A., as agent; and certain other financial institutions party thereto as lenders. The Global Credit Agreement replaced our EM revolving credit facility and BL revolving credit facility, both asset backed revolving credit facilities available to EMC and its subsidiaries and B&L, respectively.

 

The Global Credit Agreement is a $375.0 million global credit facility with designated sub-facility limits of $10.0 million for the Canadian Borrower, $35.0 million for the Singapore Borrower, $45.0 million for the UK Borrowers and $285.0 million for the US Borrowers. Actual credit availability under our Global Credit Agreement will fluctuate because it is subject to a borrowing base limitation that is calculated based on a percentage of eligible trade accounts receivable and inventories, the balance of which fluctuate, and is subject to discretionary reserves and revaluation adjustments. The entities may utilize our Global Credit Agreement for borrowings as well as for the issuance of bank guarantees, letters of credit and other permitted indebtedness as defined in our Global Credit Agreement.

 

The Global Credit Agreement also allows the borrowers, at their option and subject to customary conditions, to request the administrative agent to solicit existing or additional lenders to provide, at the discretion of the lenders, one or more increases in the commitments under the Global Credit Agreement of up to $175.0 million which can be allocated among the facilities in the U.S., Canada, Singapore, and UK at the borrowers' discretion.

 

The Global Credit Agreement matures in December 2017.

 

The Global Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority security interest in all of the working capital assets, including trade accounts receivable and inventories of the borrowers and all other assets, as specified in the Global Credit Agreement, of the UK Borrowers and Singapore Borrowers. The Global Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit our ability to take certain actions, including our ability to incur debt, pay dividends and repurchase stock, make certain investments and other payments, enter into certain mergers and consolidations, engage in sale leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates and encumber and dispose of assets.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

 

In the normal course of business, we are a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements. These arrangements include guarantees and financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit and payment guarantees. No liabilities related to these arrangements are reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and we do not expect any material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows to result from these off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had the following outstanding guarantees:

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies and related estimates that we believe are the most critical to understanding our condensed consolidated/combined consolidated financial statements, financial condition and results of operations and those that require management judgment and assumptions or involve uncertainties are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting policies and related estimates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements to our condensed consolidated/combined consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

In the normal course of operations, we are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt and foreign exchange rate risk related to our foreign operations and foreign currency transactions. Market risk is defined for these purposes as the potential change in the fair value of financial assets or liabilities resulting from an adverse movement in interest rates or foreign exchange rates. There have been no material changes to these market risks from that which was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. For a further discussion of our derivative instruments and their fair values, see Notes 10 – Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments and Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments to our unaudited condensed consolidated/combined consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have established disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, disclosed and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. This information is also accumulated and communicated to our senior management and Board of Directors to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, as of June 30, 2013, under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms are defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

 

Based on this evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that have occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, that have materially impacted, or are reasonably likely to materially impact, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our senior management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls’ effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and, based on an evaluation of our controls and procedures, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2013, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.

 

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are party to various claims and legal proceedings related to our business. While there are uncertainties inherent in the ultimate outcome of such matters and it is impossible to presently determine the ultimate costs that may be incurred, management believes the resolution of such uncertainties and the incurrence of such costs will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. For information regarding any pending or threatened litigation, see Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated/combined consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other related disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
