CHICAGO RIVET & MACHINE CO.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2023 (unaudited) and December 31, 2022 (audited) and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the indicated periods.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted from these unaudited financial statements in accordance with applicable rules. Please refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and in November 2018 issued an amendment, ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.  ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 should be applied on either a prospective transition or modified-retrospective approach depending on the subtopic.  ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023, using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption did not result in the recognition of a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings, nor did it have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

2.  The Company extends credit on the basis of terms that are customary within our markets to various companies doing business primarily in the automotive industry.  The Company has a concentration of credit risk primarily within the automotive industry and in the Midwestern United States.  The Company has established an allowance for accounts that may become uncollectible in the future.  This estimated allowance is based in part on management's evaluation of the financial condition of the customer and historical experience.  The Company monitors its accounts receivable and charges to expense an amount equal to its estimate of potential credit losses.  The Company considers a number of factors in determining its estimates, including the length of time its trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history and the customer's current ability to pay its obligation.  The Company also considers current economic conditions, the economic outlook and industry-specific factors in its evaluation.  Accounts receivable balances are charged off against the allowance when it is determined that the receivable will not be recovered.

 

3.  The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation, including environmental claims and contract disputes, in the normal course of business.  While it is not possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect to contingent liabilities, including those related to legal proceedings, management is of the opinion that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not been made, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

 

4.  Revenue—The Company operates in the fastener industry and is in the business of manufacturing and selling rivets, cold-formed fasteners and parts, screw machine products, automatic rivet setting machines and parts and tools for such machines.  Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, generally upon shipment of goods or completion of services, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  For certain assembly equipment segment transactions, revenue is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligation using a labor-based measure.  Labor incurred and specific material costs are compared to milestone payments per sales contract.  Based on our experience, this method most accurately reflects the transfer of goods under such contracts.  During the third quarter of 2023, the Company realized revenue of $161,594 related to such contracts and has a remaining performance obligation of $303,906 which is expected to be recognized over the next six months.

 

Sales taxes we may collect concurrent with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.  Revenue is recognized net of certain sales adjustments to arrive at net sales as reported on the statement of income.  These adjustments primarily relate to customer returns and allowances.  The Company records a liability and reduction in sales for estimated product returns based upon historical experience.  If we determine that our obligation under warranty claims is probable and subject to reasonable determination, an estimate of that liability is recorded as an offset against revenue at that time.  As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 reserves for warranty claims were not material.  Cash received by the Company prior to transfer of control is recorded as unearned revenue.

 

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized in net sales, and related costs as cost of sales, when incurred.

 

Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period is less than one year.  These costs are recorded within selling and administrative expenses in the statement of income.

5.  The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately (20.7)% and 22.5% for the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and (21.0)% and 22.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2020, 2021 and 2022 tax years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).   While it may be possible that a reduction could occur with respect to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as an outcome of an IRS examination, management does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.  No statutes have been extended on any of the Company’s federal income tax filings. The statute of limitations on the Company’s 2020, 2021 and 2022 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively.

 

The Company’s state income tax returns for the 2020 through 2022 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2026.  The Company is not currently under examination by any state authority for income tax purposes and no statutes for state income tax filings have been extended.

 

6.  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Results of Operations

 

Net sales for the third quarter of 2023 were $7,946,172 compared to $8,567,785 in the third quarter of 2022, a decline of $621,613, or 7.3%. While assembly equipment segment revenues improved during the quarter compared to a year earlier, they were more than offset by the decline in fastener segment sales.  As of September 30, 2023, year to date sales totaled $24,726,828 compared to $26,788,879 for the first three quarters of 2022, a decline of $2,062,051, or 7.7%.  Both the fastener segment and assembly equipment segment sales have declined year to date.  Lower sales combined with higher operating costs in the current year resulted in a net loss of $(964,042), or $(1.00) per share, in the third quarter compared to net income of $3,579,060, or $3.71 per share, in the third quarter of 2022.  For the first three quarters of 2023, the net loss was $(2,858,685), or $(2.96) per share, compared to net income of $4,180,277, or $4.33 per share, for the same period in 2022. The third quarter and first nine months results for 2022 included a gain on sale of property of $4,738,394.

 

Fastener segment revenues were $6,977,441 in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $7,805,622 reported in the third quarter of 2022, a decline of $828,181, or 10.6%.  For the first nine months of 2023, fastener segment revenues were $22,195,367 compared to $24,019,067 in the first nine months of 2022, a decline of $1,823,700, or 7.6%. The automotive sector is the primary market for our fastener segment products and sales to automotive customers were $5,184,547 in the third quarter this year compared to $4,813,646 in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $370,901, or 7.7%.  Sales to automotive customers were $15,150,117 for the first three quarters of 2023 compared to $14,268,638 for the first three quarters of 2022, an increase of $881,479, or 6.2%.  The increase in the quarterly and year to date sales to automotive customers reflects increased North American light vehicle sales, which have improved as last year’s supply chain disruptions and parts shortages have eased.  Fastener segment sales to non-automotive customers were $1,792,894 in the third quarter of this year compared to $2,991,976 in the third quarter of 2022, a decline of $1,199,082, or 40.1%.  Sales to non-automotive customers for the first three quarters of the current year were $7,045,250 compared to $9,750,429 for the first three quarters of 2022, a decline of $2,705,179, or 27.7%.  Although the decline in fastener sales to non-automotive customers primarily related to a single industrial products customer, several other customers cited excess ordering in 2022, when supply chain disruptions were widespread, as the cause for reduced demand in the current year.  Labor market conditions have improved since the beginning of the year and investments made to improve operating efficiencies have resulted in a significant reduction in expediting and quality related expenses during the third quarter compared to the first half of the year.  The impact of inflation in the last two years has been difficult to recover from customers, especially automotive customers that often make purchases under restrictive terms and conditions; however, we will continue to review and seek to adjust pricing to address these higher costs.  The overall decline in fastener segment sales combined with higher operating costs have resulted in negative operating margins in the third quarter and year to date.  Third quarter fastener segment gross profit (loss) was $(161,831) compared to $972,363 in 2022, a decline of $1,134,194.  On a year-to-date basis, fastener segment gross profit (loss) was $(353,158) compared to $3,722,743 in the first three quarters of 2022, a decline of $4,075,901.

 

Assembly equipment segment revenues were $968,731 in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $762,163 in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $206,568, or 27.1%.  The increase in the quarter compared to a year earlier was due to more machines being sold and an increase in the average selling price per unit.  The increase in assembly equipment sales during the third quarter contributed to an improved gross margin during the quarter of $202,984 compared to $147,545 in the prior year.  For the first nine months of 2023, assembly equipment segment revenues were $2,531,461 compared to $2,769,812 for the same period of 2022, a decline of $238,351, or 8.6%.  While machine sales improved during the third quarter, the total units sold during the first three quarters still trails the number sold during the same period a year ago.  Additionally, tool sales have also declined in the current year.  Lower sales, along with higher operating costs in the current year, contributed to a decline in segment gross profit to $542,778 from $699,764 a year ago, a decline of $156,986. 

 

    Selling and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were $1,273,175 compared to $1,250,385 in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $22,790, or 1.8%.  For the first nine months of 2023, selling and administrative expenses were $3,890,335 compared to $3,809,970 for the same period in 2022, an increase of $80,365, or 2.1%.  The increases were primarily related to outside consulting and recruiting fees as well as building rent that has been incurred since the sale of the Company’s headquarters in the third quarter of 2022. Partially offsetting these increases were reductions in commissions and profit-sharing expense related to lower sales and profitability.  Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the first nine months of 2023 increased to 15.7%, from 14.2% for the first nine months of 2022. 

 

Other Income

 

Other income in the third quarter of 2023 was $16,980, compared to $13,143 in the third quarter of 2022.  Other income for the first nine months of 2023 was $83,030, compared to $35,346 in the first nine months of 2022.  The increases were primarily due to higher interest rates on invested balances during the current year.

 

 

Income Tax Expense

 

The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately (20.7)% and 22.5% for the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively.  The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately (21.0)% and 22.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Working capital was $15,959,662 as of September 30, 2023, compared to $20,073,089 at the beginning of the year, a decline of $4,113,427.  The most significant factor in the working capital decline is the current year operating loss.  During the first three quarters of 2023, accounts receivable increased by $831,171 due to the greater sales activity compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, which was partially offset by a decline in inventory of $326,034 as quantities on hand were reduced and raw material inflation moderated.  Other items reducing working capital in the first three quarters of 2023 were capital expenditures of $949,862, which consisted primarily of equipment used in fastener production activities, and dividends paid of $521,711.  The net result of these changes and other cash flow activity was to leave cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit at $2,562,982 as of September 30, 2023 compared to $6,736,101 as of the beginning of the year.  Management believes that current cash, cash equivalents and operating cash flow will provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months.

 

Results of Operations Summary

 

Results in the third quarter continued to be negatively impacted by several factors.  Demand from our automotive customers has been relatively steady in 2023 as that sector continues to recover from the aftereffects of the Covid-19 pandemic, but our margins from such customers have been significantly impacted by higher costs that have been difficult to obtain relief from due to restrictive contracts that are common in that market.  The United Auto Workers strike that began in September did not materially impact results in the third quarter, but as the strike expanded in the fourth quarter, we have experienced reduced demand.  While we have seen improvement in the labor market since the beginning of the year and inflation has receded from its recent historic highs, most of our production-related expenses remain much higher than a year earlier.  These conditions are expected to persist in the near term, which makes obtaining updated pricing that reflects current economic conditions a priority.  In addition to adjusting pricing, we will also continue to adjust our activities and make investments that improve production efficiency, while pursuing opportunities to develop new customer relationships and build on existing ones in all the markets we serve.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a)  Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President, Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer (the Company’s principal financial officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President, Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a weakness in internal control over financial reporting as described below.

 

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to income taxes was identified in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023. Specifically, the Company did not design and maintain effective controls related to the review of the presentation of the tax provision related to unusual items.

 

Notwithstanding the material weakness noted above, the Company’s management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President, Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer, has concluded that our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Remediation Plan for the Material Weakness

 

The Company’s management, under the oversight of the Audit Committee, is in the process of designing and implementing changes in processes and controls to remediate the material weakness. Our enhanced design includes the involvement of external tax advisors in reviewing complex tax matters, as necessary.

 

The material weakness will not be considered remediated until management completes its remediation plan and the enhanced control operates for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the related control is effective. The Company will monitor the effectiveness of its remediation plan and will refine its remediation plan as appropriate.

 

(b)  Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
