Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
1. Statement of Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Myers Industries, Inc. and all wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and have been prepared without audit, 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
June 30, 2015
, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2015
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will occur for the year ending
December 31, 2015
.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-03,
Interest- Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-03) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
which requires unamortized debt issuance costs to be presented as a reduction of the corresponding debt liability rather than a separate asset. ASU 2015-03 will be adopted on the effective date for the Company, which is January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,
Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
. The new standard provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. Under ASU 2014-15, management will be required to perform interim and annual assessments of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, to clarify the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. Under ASU 2014-09, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 with early adoption not permitted. Companies can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements as well as the method by which the Company will adopt the new standard.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08,
Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity
. This guidance states that the disposal of a component of an entity is to be reported in discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The pronouncement also requires additional disclosures regarding individually significant disposals of components that do not meet the criteria to be recognized as a discontinued operation. This ASU is effective for the Company for applicable transactions occurring after January 1, 2015. We will prospectively apply the guidance to applicable transactions.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
All asset and liability accounts of consolidated foreign subsidiaries are translated at the current exchange rate as of the end of the accounting period and income statement items are translated monthly at an average currency exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
Fair Value Measurement
The Company follows guidance included in ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
("ASC 820"), for its financial assets and liabilities, as required. The guidance established a common definition for fair value to be applied under U.S. GAAP requiring the use of fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value, and expanded disclosure requirements about such fair value measurements. The guidance did not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applied to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Under ASC 820, the hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three levels:
Level 1:
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data or which reflect the entity’s own assumptions.
The fair value of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to approximate carrying value due to the nature and relative short maturity of these assets and liabilities.
The fair value of debt under the Company’s Loan Agreement approximates carrying value due to the floating rates and relative short maturity (less than 90 days) of the revolving borrowings under this agreement. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated using market observable inputs for the Company’s comparable peers with public debt, including quoted prices in active markets and interest rate measurements which are considered level 2 inputs. At
June 30, 2015
, the fair value of the Company's
$100.0 million
fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated at
$104.2 million
. At
December 31, 2014
, the fair value of the Company's
$100.0 million
fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated at
$106.8 million
.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of products, net of actual and estimated returns, at the point of passage of title and risk of loss, which is generally at time of shipment, and collectability of the fixed or determinable sales price is reasonably assured.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. The Company maintains operating cash and reserves for replacement balances in financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of these institutions and believes that the risk of loss is minimal.
2. Acquisition
On July 2, 2014, CA Acquisition Inc., now known as Scepter Canada Inc. and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Myers Industries, Inc., completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Scepter Corporation and certain real property of SHI Properties Inc., both located in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. Contemporaneously with the asset acquisition, Crown US Acquisition Company, now known as Scepter US Holding Company and another wholly-owned subsidiary of Myers Industries, Inc., completed the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Eco One Leasing, LLC and Scepter Manufacturing, LLC, both located in Miami, Oklahoma. Eco One Leasing, LLC was subsequently merged into Scepter Manufacturing, LLC. The total purchase price for these acquisitions (collectively, “Scepter”) was approximately
$156.6 million
in cash, which includes a final working capital adjustment. The acquisition of Scepter was funded from net proceeds from additional borrowings of approximately
$134.1 million
under the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and cash on hand of
$22.5 million
.
The acquisition of Scepter strengthens and expands the Company's position as an industry leading producer of portable marine fuel containers, portable fuel and water containers and accessories, ammunition containers, storage totes and environmental bins for the marine, military, consumer and industrial markets. The acquisition of Scepter is consistent with the Company's business strategy and the products fit well with the Company's overall portfolio. The operating results of Scepter have been included within our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) and within the Company's Material Handling Segment since the date of acquisition.

The Company accounted for the acquisition of Scepter using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires among other things, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. As of June 30, 2015, the purchase price allocation is complete. Adjustments to the purchase price allocation during 2015 were not material.
Scepter's assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition using primarily level 3 fair value inputs. The purchase consideration, related final allocations, and resulting excess over fair value of net assets acquired are as follows:
Assets acquired:
Current assets
$
34,572
Property, plant and equipment
44,613
Intangible assets

Liabilities assumed:
Current liabilities
$
8,577
Total liabilities assumed
8,577
Goodwill
19,512
Total consideration
$
156,620
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The Company expects that approximately
$14.6 million
of goodwill recognized for the acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes in Canada.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results are based on the Company’s historical financial statements and those of Scepter and do not necessarily indicate the results of operations that would have resulted had the acquisition actually been completed at the beginning of the applicable period presented. The pro forma financial information assumes that the companies were combined as of January 1, 2014. The pro forma results reflect the business combination accounting effects from the acquisition including amortization charges from the acquired intangible assets, inventory purchase accounting adjustments charged to cost of sales as the inventory is sold and increased interest expense associated with debt incurred to fund the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results do not give effect to the synergies of the acquisition and are not indicative of the results of operations in future periods.
3. Discontinued Operations
On June 20, 2014, the Company completed the sale of the assets and associated liabilities of its wholly-owned subsidiaries WEK Industries, Inc. and Whiteridge Plastics LLC (collectively “WEK”) for approximately
$20.7 million
, which includes a working capital adjustment of approximately
$0.8 million
. Of the total proceeds from the sale of WEK, approximately
$1.0 million
are held in escrow to be received in December 2015. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of WEK of approximately
$2.4 million
, net of tax of
$1.3 million
in the second quarter of 2014 and was included in income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of income. WEK was previously reported as part of our former Engineered Products Segment.
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the commencement of the sale process to divest its Lawn and Garden business to allow it to focus resources on its core growth platforms. The Lawn and Garden business serves the North American horticulture market with plastic products such as seedling trays, nursery products, hanging baskets, custom print containers as well as decorative resin planters. The business was sold February 17, 2015 to an entity controlled by Wingate Partners V, L.P., a private equity firm, for
$110.0 million
, subject to a working capital adjustment. The sale of the Lawn & Garden business includes manufacturing facilities and offices located in: Twinsburg, Ohio; Middlefield, Ohio; Elyria, Ohio; Sparks, Nevada; Sebring, Florida; Brantford, Ontario and Burlington, Ontario. The terms of the agreement include a
$90.0 million
cash payment, promissory notes totaling
$20.0 million
that carry a
five
year maturity, a
6%
interest rate and amounts placed in escrow. The fair market value of the notes receivable at June 30, 2015 was
$17.9 million
and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the notes receivable was calculated using level 2 inputs as defined in Note 1. A gain on the sale of the Lawn and Garden business of
$3.8 million
, net of tax, was recognized during the first six months of 2015 and is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of income.
Since the second quarter of 2014 and until the business was sold on February 17, 2015, the Lawn and Garden business met the held-for-sale criteria under the requirements of ASC 360. Accordingly, at December 31, 2014, the Company classified and accounted for the assets and liabilities of the Lawn and Garden business as held for sale in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and the operating results of Lawn and Garden and WEK for periods prior to the sale, net of tax, as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, the Company performed a fair value assessment of the Lawn and Garden business. The fair value, determined as sales price less cost to sell the business, was less than its carrying value at December 31, 2014, resulting in an
$18.9 million
impairment charge reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated

The Lawn and Garden Segment restructuring plan, announced in July 2013, detailed the closure of
two
manufacturing plants: one in Brantford, Ontario and the second in Waco, Texas. The restructuring actions included closure, relocation and employee related costs. Through June 30, 2014, the Lawn and Garden Segment had incurred approximately
$13.0 million
of severance charges and personnel costs under its restructuring plans. Restructuring actions under the plan were substantially completed as of June 30, 2014.
4. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Approximately
forty percent
of the Company’s inventories use the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method of determining cost. All other inventories are valued at the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method of determining cost. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these are subject to many factors beyond management’s control, estimated interim results, which were immaterial, are subject to change in the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation and therefore, no adjustment was recorded as of
June 30, 2015
.

Intangible assets other than goodwill primarily consist of trade names, customer relationships, patents and technology assets established in connection with acquisitions. These intangible assets, other than certain trade names, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company has indefinite lived trade names which had a carrying value of
$11.1 million
and
$11.3 million
at
June 30, 2015
and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Options to purchase
381,733
shares of common stock that were outstanding for both the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2015
, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of common shares, and were therefore anti-dilutive. Options to purchase
199,500
shares of common stock that were outstanding for both the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2014
, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of common shares and were therefore anti-dilutive.
8. Stock Compensation
The Company’s Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2008 Plan”) authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to issue up to
4,000,000
shares of various types of stock based awards including stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights to key employees and directors. In general, options granted and outstanding vest over a
three
year period and expire
ten
years from the date of grant.
The Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately
$0.7 million
and
$0.8 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2015
and
2014
, respectively. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately
$1.6 million
for both six month periods ended
June 30, 2015
and
2014
. These expenses are included in SG&A expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Unaudited). Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share based compensation arrangements at
June 30, 2015
was approximately
$5.3 million
which will be recognized over the next three years, as such compensation is earned.
In March 2015, stock options for
208,200
shares were granted with a
three
year vesting period. The fair value of options granted is estimated using a binomial lattice option pricing model based on assumptions set forth in the following table. The Company uses historical data to estimate employee exercise and departure behavior. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and through the expected term. The dividend yield rate is based on the Company’s historical dividend yield. The expected volatility is derived from historical volatility of the Company’s shares and those of similar companies measured against the market as a whole.

Restricted stock units are rights to receive shares of common stock, subject to forfeiture and other restrictions, which vest over a three year period. Restricted shares are considered to be non-vested shares under the accounting guidance for share-based payment and are not reflected as issued and outstanding shares until the restrictions lapse. At that time, the shares are released to the grantee and the Company records the issuance of the shares. Restricted stock awards are valued based on the market price of the underlying shares on the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. At
June 30, 2015
, restricted stock awards had vesting periods up through
March 2018
.
9. Contingencies
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and a party to various other legal proceedings, in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance.
New Idria Mercury Mine
Effective October 2011, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) added the New Idria Mercury Mine site located near Hollister, California to the Superfund National Priorities List because of alleged contaminants discharged to California waterways. The New Idria Quicksilver Mining Company, founded in 1936, and later renamed the New Idria Mining & Chemical Company ("NIMCC") owned and/or operated the New Idria Mine through 1976. In 1981 NIMCC, after another name change, was merged into Buckhorn Metal Products Inc. which was subsequently acquired by Myers Industries in 1987. The EPA contends that past mining operations have resulted in mercury contamination and acid mine drainage at the mine site, in the San Carlos Creek, Silver Creek and a portion of Panoche Creek, and that other downstream locations may also be impacted.

Myers Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
As of the date of this disclosure, no formal claim or allegation relating to the New Idria Mine Site against the Company or its subsidiary Buckhorn Inc. ("Buckhorn") has been received. However, since Buckhorn may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at the New Idria Mercury Mine, the Company recognized an expense of
$1.9 million
, on an undiscounted basis, in 2011 related to performing a remedial investigation and feasibility study to determine the extent of remediation and the screening of alternatives. Payments of approximately
$0.9 million
have been made and charged against the reserve classified in Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of
June 30, 2015
. As the investigation and remediation proceed, it is possible that adjustments to the reserved expense will be necessary to reflect new information. Estimates of the Company’s liability are based on current facts, laws, regulations and technology. Estimates of the Company’s environmental liabilities are further subject to uncertainties regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation standards, imprecise engineering evaluation and cost estimates, the extent of remedial actions that may be required, the number and financial condition of other PRPs as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation, and the availability of insurance coverage for these expenses. At this time, further remediation cost estimates are not known and have not been prepared.
In November 2011, the EPA completed an interim removal project at the New Idria Mercury Mine site. It is expected this removal action will be part of the final remediation strategy for the site. According to informal reports, EPA’s interim removal project costs were approximately
$0.5 million
. The Company and Buckhorn have received indications that the EPA intends to seek recovery of the costs of this work and other past costs from the Company and Buckhorn and to initiate the administrative processes whereby the Company and/or Buckhorn would perform the remedial investigation and feasibility study described above.
Guadelupe River Watershed TMDL
A number of parties, including the Company and its subsidiary, Buckhorn, were identified in a planning document adopted in October 2008 by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region (“RWQCB”). The planning document relates to the presence of mercury, including amounts contained in mining wastes, in and around the Guadalupe River Watershed (“Watershed”) region in Santa Clara County, California and specifically to the development of a "total maximum daily load" ("TMDL") for mercury deposits into the Watershed. The RWQCB has since completed the development and adoption of the Watershed mercury TMDL. Buckhorn has previously been alleged to be a successor in interest to NIMCC, which owned property and performed mining operations in a portion of the Watershed area. The Company has not been contacted by the RWQCB or by other parties who have been involved in Watershed clean-up efforts that have been initiated as a result of the adoption of the TMDL. Although assertion of a claim by the RWQCB or another party involved in this clean up effort is reasonably possible, it is not possible at this time to estimate the amount of any obligation the Company may incur for these cleanup efforts within the Watershed region, or whether such cost would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other
Buckhorn and Schoeller Arca Systems, Inc. (“SAS”) were plaintiffs in a patent infringement lawsuit against Orbis Corp. and Orbis Material Handling, Inc. (“Orbis”) for alleged breach by Orbis of an exclusive patent license agreement from SAS to Buckhorn. SAS is an affiliate of Schoeller Arca Systems Services B.V. (“SASS B.V.”), a Dutch company. SAS manufactures and sells plastic returnable packaging systems for material handling. In the course of the litigation, it was discovered that SAS had given a patent license agreement to a predecessor of Orbis that pre-dated the one that SAS sold to Buckhorn. As a result, judgment was entered in favor of Orbis, and the court awarded attorney fees and costs to Orbis in the amount of
$3.1 million
, plus interest and costs. In May 2014, Orbis made demand to SAS that SAS pay the judgment in full, and subsequently in July 2014, Orbis made the same demand to Buckhorn. Although the range of exposure was
$0
-
$3.1 million
, plus interest, Buckhorn’s responsibility as a co-judgment debtor was not specified. Buckhorn believed it was not responsible for any of the judgment because it was not a party to the Orbis license. Buckhorn has aggressively pursued any and all legal actions both with respect to appealing the judgment, requesting SAS be named solely responsible for payment of the judgment, as well as pursued SAS and SASS B.V. for fraudulently selling an exclusive patent license they could not sell.
In August 2014, SASS B.V. informed Buckhorn that SAS may not have the financial ability to pay the judgment and provided financial statements to Buckhorn indicating SAS was in financial distress and while SASS B.V was financially stable, the award is against SAS, not SASS B.V. Given the uncertainty of SAS’s financial ability to meet the obligation and the entry of the judgment based on joint and several liability, Myers recorded an expense of
$3.0 million
during the third quarter of 2014 for the entire amount of the unpaid judgment, despite the belief the Company would ultimately be successful in the appeal and suing SAS and SASS B.V.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the judgment against Buckhorn on July 2, 2015, and found that Buckhorn was not liable to Orbis for any portion of the judgment entered in favor of Orbis. Accordingly, Myers reversed the accrual of
$3.0 million
during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, which was reflected as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses. Orbis has filed a petition for rehearing with the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, but at this time the judgment remains the sole responsibility of SAS.
When management believes that a loss arising from these matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, we record the amount of the estimated loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range, and no point within the range is more probable of occurrence than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters will be assessed and the estimates will be revised, if necessary.
Based on current available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or overall trends in our results of operations. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the financial position and results of operations of the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods.

12. Income Taxes
The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefit that would reduce the Company's effective tax rates at
June 30, 2015
and
June 30, 2014
, was
$0.5 million
and
$1.5 million
, respectively. Accrued interest expense included within accrued income taxes in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) was approximately
$0.1 million
at both
June 30, 2015
and
December 31, 2014
. The
June 30, 2015
balance of unrecognized tax benefits includes approximately
$0.5 million
of unrecognized tax benefits for which it is reasonably possible that they will be recognized within the next twelve months.
The Company and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal, state and local, and non-U.S. income tax returns. As of
June 30, 2015
, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal examination by tax authorities for tax years before 2011. The Company is subject to state and local examinations for tax years of 2010 through 2014. In addition, the Company is subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations for tax years of 2009 through 2014.
13. Segment Information
The Company currently manages its business under
two
reportable operating segments: Material Handling and Distribution. None of the reportable segments include operating segments that have been aggregated. Some of these segments contain individual business components that have been aggregated on the basis of common management, customers, products, production processes and other economic characteristics. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost plus a specified mark-up.
Income before income taxes for each business segment is based on net sales less cost of products sold, and the related selling, general and administrative expenses. In computing business segment operating income, general corporate overhead expenses and interest expenses are not included.
Material Handling
The Material Handling Segment manufactures a broad selection of plastic reusable containers, pallets, small parts bins, bulk shipping containers, storage and organization products and rotationally-molded plastic tanks for water, fuel and waste handling. This segment conducts its primary operations in the United States, but also operates in Brazil and Canada. Markets served encompass various niches of industrial manufacturing, food processing, retail/wholesale products distribution, agriculture, automotive, recreational vehicles, marine vehicles, healthcare, appliance, bakery, electronics, textiles, consumer, and others. Products are sold both directly to end-users and through distributors.

Net sales for the quarter ended
June 30, 2015
were
$164.3 million
, an increase of
$11.5 million
or
7.6%
compared to the same period in the prior year. Net sales increased $28.6 million due to the inclusion of Scepter Corporation and Scepter Manufacturing, LLC (collectively, "Scepter") acquired on July 2, 2014. Net sales were negatively impacted by lower sales volumes of approximately $12.2 million, primarily in our Material Handling Segment, negative pricing of approximately $0.9 million and the effect of unfavorable foreign currency translation of $4.0 million.
Net sales in the Material Handling Segment increased
$12.8 million
or
12.4%
in the second quarter of
2015
compared to the same period in the prior year. Net sales increased $28.6 million due to the addition of Scepter from its acquisition in the third quarter of 2014. Excluding net sales related to Scepter,
second
quarter 2015 sales volumes for the segment were unfavorable by $10.6 million versus the
second
quarter of 2014 mainly due to the overall weakness in the agricultural, industrial, recreational vehicle and marine end markets. In addition, net sales for the
second
quarter of 2015 were impacted by unfavorable pricing of $1.3 million and unfavorable currency translation of $3.9 million.
Net sales in the Distribution Segment decreased
$1.2 million
or
2.4%
in the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net sales between periods
was primarily the result of weaker demand for some of the segment's tire repair and retread products.

compared to the

second
quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of Scepter, SG&A expenses were favorable mainly as a result of the $3.0 million reversal of the legal reserve related to the Orbis litigation as described in Note 9 as well as $0.6 million of
20
transaction costs in the second quarter of 2014 related to the acquisition of Scepter. Most of the remaining decline is due to lower freight and employee compensation costs of approximately $2.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Discontinued Operations:
Net sales from discontinued operations decreased $46.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2014 due to the sale of the Lawn and Garden business on February 17, 2015. Discontinued operations are comprised of the Lawn and Garden Segment and WEK Industries, Inc. ("WEK").
Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes was $0.5 million for the quarter ended

Excluding net sales related to Scepter, the first six months 2015 sales volumes for the segment were unfavorable by $29.0 million versus the same period in 2014 mainly due to the overall weakness in the agricultural, industrial, recreational vehicle and marine end markets and significant prior year first quarter sales in the food processing market which did not recur in 2015. Net sales for the

Net sales in the Distribution Segment decreased

In the six months ended

The increase in the effective rate for 2015 was due to a reduction in foreign incentive tax credits and domestic production deductions.
Discontinued Operations:
Net sales from discontinued operations decreased $75.3 million for the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
compared to the
six months ended
June 30, 2014
. The decrease was mainly due to the the sale of the Lawn and Garden business on February 17, 2015. Discontinued operations are comprised of the Lawn and Garden Segment and WEK.
Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes was
$3.1 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
compared to a loss, net of income taxes of
$4.7 million
in the same prior year period. The increase in net income during the first six months of 2015 as compared to the loss in the same period of the prior year was primarily driven by restructuring and other related charges incurred by the Lawn and Garden business during the first six months of 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash used for operating activities from continuing operations was
$3.0 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
compared to
$6.8 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2014
. The primary use of cash for operating activities from continuing operations for the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
and 2014, was
$37.8 million
and
$31.9 million
, respectively, for working capital. The decrease in cash used for continuing operations during the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
was mainly due to improvements in earnings. Depreciation and amortization costs from continuing operations were
$18.6 million
in the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
, compared to
$12.5 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2014
. The higher depreciation and amortization are attributable to the higher level of assets placed in service over the past several years and assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of Scepter.
Cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations for the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
was
$60.4 million
compared to a use of
$6.9 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2014
. During the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
, the Company received approximately $69.8 million in cash proceeds in connection with the sale of the Lawn and Garden business. Capital expenditures related to continuing operations for the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
were
$9.4 million
compared to
$7.0 million
for the same period in the prior year. Full year capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $30 million, the majority of which are expected to be allocated to growth and productivity projects.
For the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
, the Company used cash of
$6.6 million
to repurchase 370,200 shares of its own stock under a share repurchase plan, compared to
$44.4 million
to repurchase 2,128,524 shares of its own stock for the
six months ended
June 30, 2014
. The Company used cash of
$8.4 million
for payment of dividends during the six months ended
June 30, 2015
compared to
$7.5 million
during the six months ended
June 30, 2014
. The increase was due to an increase in the quarterly dividend per share.
Debt at
June 30, 2015
was approximately
$201.4 million
compared to
$236.4 million
at
December 31, 2014
. A portion of the cash proceeds from the sale of the Lawn and Garden business was used to pay down debt.

June 30, 2015
, the Company was in compliance with all its debt covenants. The most restrictive financial covenants for all of the Company’s debt are an interest coverage ratio (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, divided by interest expense) and a leverage ratio (defined as total debt divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted). The ratios as of and for the period ended
June 30, 2015
are shown in the following table:
Required Level
Actual Level
Interest Coverage Ratio
3.00 to 1 (minimum)
7.41
Leverage Ratio
3.25 to 1 (maximum)

The Company believes that cash flows from operations and available borrowing under its Loan Agreement will be sufficient to meet expected business requirements including strategic initiatives, capital expenditures, dividends, working capital, debt service and to fund the stock repurchase program into the foreseeable future.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
The Company has certain financing arrangements that require interest payments based on floating interest rates. The Company’s financial results are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. At present, the Company has not entered into any interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments to fix the interest rate on any portion of its financing arrangements with floating rates. Accordingly, based on current debt levels at
June 30, 2015
, if market interest rates increase one percent, the Company’s interest expense would increase approximately
$1.1 million
annually.
Some of the Company’s subsidiaries operate in foreign countries and their financial results are subject to exchange rate movements. The Company has operations in Canada with foreign currency exposure, primarily due to sales made from businesses in Canada to customers in the United States ("U.S."). These sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary in Brazil has loans denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has a systematic program to limit its exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates related to certain assets and liabilities of its operations in Canada and Brazil that are denominated in U.S. dollars. The net exposure generally ranges from $5 to $10 million. The foreign currency contracts and arrangements created under this program are not designated as hedged items under FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 815,
Derivatives and Hedging
, and accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the foreign currency arrangements, which have been immaterial, are recorded in the income statement. The Company’s foreign currency arrangements are typically three months or less and are settled before the end of a reporting period. At
June 30, 2015
, the Company had no foreign currency arrangements or contracts in place.
The Company uses certain commodities, primarily plastic resins, in its manufacturing processes. The cost of operations can be affected as the market for these commodities changes. The Company currently has no derivative contracts to hedge this risk; however, the Company also has no significant purchase obligations to purchase fixed quantities of such commodities in future periods. Significant future increases in the cost of plastic resin or other adverse changes in the general economic environment could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
The Company carries out a variety of on-going procedures, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2015 due to the material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as described below.

Table of contents
As more fully described in Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, management concluded that there are deficiencies in both the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which when aggregated, represent two material weaknesses in internal control. The first material weakness is over the inventory process and the second, over the financial statement close process, which includes insufficient Segment and Corporate management oversight and monitoring of the controls. Both material weaknesses relate to our Brazilian operations. We are executing an action plan that is strengthening and enhancing existing controls while we are concurrently developing new controls to remediate these deficiencies. We plan to remediate all of the control deficiencies during 2015 and will continuously monitor the effectiveness of the controls over these processes. In that some of these controls have either not been implemented or are still being designed, management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2015 there are material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting over the inventory and financial statement close processes at its Brazilian operations.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We acquired Scepter Corporation and Scepter Manufacturing, LLC (collectively "Scepter") on July 2, 2014 and are currently in the process of integrating Scepter's processes and internal controls.
During the first six months of 2015, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II — Other Information
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
Certain legal proceedings in which the Company is involved are discussed in the Contingencies Note of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this report and Part I, Item 3 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and a party to various other legal proceedings, in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. We believe that the outcome of these lawsuits and other proceedings will not individually or in the aggregate have a future material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On July 11, 2013, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to an additional five million shares of its common stock. This authorization was in addition to the 2011 Board authorized repurchase of up to five million shares. The Company completed the repurchase of approximately 2.0 million shares in 2011 pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans, which were adopted pursuant to the 2011 authorized share repurchase.
