CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In particular, we direct your attention to Part I, Item 1- Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk; and Part II, Item 1A — Risk Factors. We intend the forward-looking statements throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated by reference herein to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. Statements contained in this report which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. All projections, guidance and other statements regarding our expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, our financing plans and the outcome of any contingencies are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” and other phrases of similar meaning. The forward-looking information is based on information available as of the date of this quarterly report and on numerous assumptions and developments that are not within our control. Although we believe that our expectations as expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will turn out to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in global economic conditions; the ability to obtain new contracts at attractive prices; the size and timing of customer orders and shipment; our ability to realize sales from our backlog; fluctuations in customer demand; fluctuations in foreign currencies; competitive factors; the timely completion of contracts; the timing and size of expenditures; the timely receipt of government approvals and permits; the price and availability of metal and other raw material; the adequacy of local labor supplies at our facilities; current or future limits on manufacturing capacity at our various operations; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses; the availability and cost of funds; and general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, impacting our business and the business of the end-market users we serve. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

DYNAMIC MATERIALS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)
(unaudited)
 
1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The information included in the condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited but includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
 
2.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dynamic Materials Corporation (“DMC”) and its controlled subsidiaries.  Only subsidiaries in which controlling interests are maintained are consolidated.  All significant intercompany accounts, profits, and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Income Taxes
 
The effective tax rate for each of the periods reported differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to favorable foreign permanent differences, variation in contribution to consolidated pre-tax income from each jurisdiction for the respective periods and differences between the U.S. and foreign tax rates (which range from 20% to 35%) on earnings that have been permanently reinvested.

In January 2013, the United States Congress authorized, and the President signed into law, legislation which retroactively changed federal tax laws for 2012. Since this legislation was enacted in 2013, the financial statement benefit from these changes, totaling $914, was reflected in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statement of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
Unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as our restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), are considered participating securities for purposes of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”) and require the use of the two class method for calculating EPS.  Under this method, a portion of net income is allocated to these participating securities and therefore is excluded from the calculation of EPS allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below.

pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.


3.      INVENTORIES
 
Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost (first-in, first-out) or market value. Cost elements included in inventory are material, labor, subcontract costs, and manufacturing overhead. As necessary, we record provisions and maintain reserves for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory. To determine reserve amounts, we regularly review inventory quantities on hand and values, and compare them to estimates of future product demand, market conditions, production requirements and technological developments.

Inventories consist of the following at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and include reserves of $1,958 and $1,729, respectively:

8.      BUSINESS SEGMENTS
 
Our business is organized in the following two segments:  NobelClad and Oilfield Products. The NobelClad segment uses explosives to perform metal cladding and shock synthesis of industrial diamonds. The most significant product of this group is clad metal which is used in the fabrication of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and transition joints for various industries, including upstream oil and gas, oil refinery, petrochemicals, hydrometallurgy, aluminum production, shipbuilding, power generation, industrial refrigeration, and similar industries.  The Oilfield Products segment manufactures, markets and sells oilfield perforating equipment and explosives, including detonating cords, detonators, bi-directional boosters and shaped charges, and seismic related explosives and accessories.  Oilfield Products also utilizes a number of welding technologies to weld components for manufacturers of jet engine and ground-based turbines.

Prior to 2014, we were organized into three segments. At the beginning of 2014 management approved a change in operating structure whereby AMK Technical Services ("AMK") will operate within and be managed as part of the Oilfield Products business segment. Consequently, we combined AMK and DynaEnergetics into one reportable business segment, Oilfield Products. AMK represented 3% of segment assets, 4% of consolidated sales and 2% of segment operating income as of and for the year then ended December 31, 2013. All prior periods segment disclosures have been restated to conform to the 2014 presentation.
 
The accounting policies of all of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Our reportable segments are separately managed strategic business units that offer different products and services. Each segment’s products are marketed to different customer types and require different manufacturing processes and technologies.
 
Segment information is presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 as follows:

ITEM 2.      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and notes, as well as the selected historical consolidated financial data that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
Unless stated otherwise, all currency amounts in this discussion are presented in thousands (000’s).
 
Executive Overview
 
Our business is organized into two segments:  NobelClad and Oilfield Products.  Prior to 2014, we were organized into three segments. At the beginning of 2014 management approved a change in operating structure whereby AMK Technical Services ("AMK") will operate within and be managed as part of the Oilfield Products business segment. Consequently, we combined AMK and DynaEnergetics into one reportable business segment, Oilfield Products. AMK represented 3% of segment assets, 4% of consolidated sales and 2% of segment operating income as of and for the year then ended December 31, 2013. All prior periods segment disclosures have been restated to conform to the 2014 presentation.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, NobelClad accounted for 50% of our net sales and 39% of our income from operations before consideration of unallocated corporate expenses and stock-based compensation expense, which are not allocated to our business segments.  Oilfield Products accounted for 50% and 61% of our first half 2014 sales and income from operations, respectively.
 
Our consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by $2,472, or 2.4%, compared to the same period in 2013.  Sales increased $5,305 (11.6%) in our Oilfield Products segment and decreased $7,777 (13.3%) in our NobelClad segment.  Our consolidated income from operations increased to $6,755 for the first half of 2014 compared to $4,958 in the same period of 2013.  The $1,797 improvement in consolidated income from operations was due to a $2,975 increase in Oilfield Products operating income and a $2,011 decrease in aggregate unallocated corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, partially offset by a $3,189 decline in NobelClad's operating income. The decrease in corporate expenses was driven by $2,965 of non-recurring expenses in the first quarter of 2013 associated with management retirements. Consolidated operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 includes amortization expense of $3,232 and $3,153, respectively. Net income was $4,525 for the first half of 2014 compared to net income of $3,655 for the same period of 2013.
 
Based upon the June 30, 2014 NobelClad backlog, recent quoting activity for this segment and sales trends in our Oilfield Products segment, we expect our full year 2014 consolidated net sales will be flat to up 4% from the $209,573 reported in 2013.
   
Net sales
 
NobelClad's revenues are generated principally from sales of clad metal plates and sales of transition joints, which are made from clad plates, to customers that fabricate industrial equipment for various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, alternative energy, hydrometallurgy, aluminum production, shipbuilding, power generation, industrial refrigeration, and similar industries.  While a large portion of the demand for our clad metal products is driven by new plant construction and large plant expansion projects, maintenance and retrofit projects at existing chemical processing, petrochemical processing, oil refining, and aluminum smelting facilities also account for a significant portion of total demand. These industries tend to be cyclical in nature and timing of new order inflow remains difficult to predict; however, we believe that our NobelClad segment is well-positioned in the marketplace.
 
Oilfield Products' revenues are generated principally from the DynaEnergetics and AMK Technical Services' product lines. Dynaenergetics markets and sells shaped charges, detonators and detonating cord, and bidirectional boosters and perforating guns to customers who perform the perforation of oil and gas wells and from sales of seismic products to customers involved in oil and gas exploration activities. AMK Technical Services' revenues are generated from welding, heat treatment, and inspection services that are provided with respect to customer-supplied parts for customers primarily involved in the power generation industry and aircraft engine markets.
 
A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a relatively small number of customers; therefore, the failure to complete existing contracts on a timely basis, to receive payment for such services in a timely manner, or to enter into future contracts at projected volumes and profitability levels could adversely affect our ability to meet cash requirements exclusively through operating activities. We attempt to minimize the risk of losing customers or specific contracts by continually improving product quality, delivering product on time and competing aggressively on the basis of price.

Gross profit and cost of products sold

Cost of of products sold for NobelClad includes the cost of metals and alloys used to manufacture clad metal plates, the cost of explosives, employee compensation and benefits, freight, outside processing costs, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.
 
Cost of products sold for Oilfield Products includes the cost of metals, explosives and other raw materials used to manufacture shaped charges, detonating products and perforating guns, welding wire and gas supplies as well as employee compensation and benefits, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.
 
NobelClad Backlog
 
We use backlog as a primary means to measure the immediate outlook for our NobelClad business.  We define “backlog” at any given point in time as all firm, unfulfilled purchase orders and commitments at that time.  Generally speaking, we expect to fill most backlog orders within the following 12 months.  From experience, most firm purchase orders and commitments are realized. Our NobelClad backlog increased to $40,056 at June 30, 2014 from $36,930 at December 31, 2013.

Our consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2014 decreased 7.3% to $53,618 from $57,859 for the second quarter of 2013.  NobelClad sales decreased 19.0% to $26,231 (49% of total sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $32,390 (56% of total sales) for the same period of 2013. Since our NobelClad backlog of $35,868 as of March 31, 2014 was significantly lower than the March 31, 2013 backlog of $47,558, the $6,159 decrease in second quarter 2014 sales relates to timing differences with respect to when orders enter our backlog and the subsequent shipment of these orders. Oilfield Products contributed $27,387 (51% of total sales) to second quarter 2014 sales, an increase of 7.5% from sales of $25,469 (44% of total sales) in the second quarter of 2013. The record quarter was due to improved product/customer mix including strong sales of DynaSelect, our fully integrated switch-detonator system introduced in the third quarter of 2013.

Our consolidated net sales for the first half of 2014 decreased 2.4% to $101,657 from $104,129 in the first half of 2013. NobelClad sales decreased 13.3% to $50,795 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (50% of total sales) from $58,572 (56% of total sales) for the same period of 2013. The decrease in year-to-date Nobelclad sales relates primarily to the lower backlog and timing of shipments out of backlog. Oilfield Products contributed $50,862 to first half 2014 sales (50% of total sales), which represents an increase of 11.6% from sales of $45,557 for the first half of 2013 (44% of total sales). The increase in Oilfield products sales was driven by product/customer mix including the DynaSelect system.

Our consolidated second quarter 2014 gross profit decreased by 4.4% to $16,313 from $17,063 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Our second quarter 2014 consolidated gross profit margin rate increased to 30.4% from 29.5% in the second quarter of 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, consolidated gross profit increased by 2.9% to $30,642 from $29,782 for the same period of 2013. Our year-to-date consolidated gross profit margin rate increased to 30.1% in 2014 from 28.6% in 2013.
 
NobelClad's gross profit margin decreased from 26.3% in the second quarter of 2013 to 25.0% in the second quarter of 2014. For the six-month period, our gross profit margin for this segment decreased to 22.2% in 2014 from 24.6% in 2013.  The decrease in both our second quarter and year-to-date gross margin rate relates principally to lower sales volume and higher manufacturing overhead expenses compared to the same periods in 2013. The increase in manufacturing overhead expenses primarily was attributable to lower fixed cost absorption from lower sales volume. As has been the case historically, we expect to see continued fluctuations in NobelClad's quarterly gross margin rates in the future that result from fluctuations in quarterly sales volume and product/customer mix.
 
Oilfield Products' gross profit margin increased to 35.9% in the second quarter of 2014 from 33.9% in the second quarter of 2013. Oilfield Products reported a gross profit margin of 38.3% for the first half of 2014 compared to a gross profit margin of 34.0% for the first half of 2013. The improved gross margin performance relates principally to favorable product/customer mix including sales of our higher margin DynaSelect system.
 
Based upon the expected contribution to 2014 consolidated net sales by each of our two business segments, we expect our consolidated full year 2014 gross margin to be in a range of 29% to 30%.

General and administrative expenses increased by $777, or 15.1%, to $5,935 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $5,158 for the same period of 2013.  This increase was driven by an increase of $356 in stock-based compensation expense and a $259 aggregate increase in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 11.1% in the second quarter of 2014 from 8.9% in the second quarter of 2013.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 12.5% to $11,637 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $13,296 for the same period of 2013. Excluding the $2,965 impact in 2013 from non-recurring expenses associated with management retirements, our general and administrative expenses increased $1,306 or 12.6% from a $424 aggregate increase in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes, an increase of $381 in stock-based compensation expense and a $319 increase in professional services. The increases were driven by year-over-year headcount additions to support business development initiatives, corporate branding and recruiting expenses. Excluding the impact of non-recurring executive management retirement expenses in 2013, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 11.4% for the first half 2014 from 9.9% for the first half of 2013.

Our selling and distribution expenses increased by 10.3% to $4,770 in the second quarter of 2014 from $4,324 in the second quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily due to higher commission expense of $175, a $66 aggregate increase in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes and an increase of $40 in stock-based compensation expense.  As a percentage of net sales, selling and distribution expenses increased to 8.9% in the second quarter of 2014 from 7.5% in the second quarter of 2013.

Our selling and distribution expenses increased by 7.7% to $9,018 for the first half of 2014 from $8,375 for the first half of 2013. The increase was primarily due to higher commission expense of $260, a $136 aggregate increase in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes and an increase of $51 in stock-based compensation expense. As a percentage of net sales, selling and distribution expense increased to 8.9% for the first half of 2014 from 8.0% for the first half of 2013.

Our consolidated selling and distribution expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 include $1,620 and $3,060, respectively, for our NobelClad and Oilfield Products business segments as compared to $1,365 and $2,910, respectively, for the second quarter of 2013. Our consolidated selling and distribution expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 include $3,269 and $5,612, respectively, for our NobelClad and Oilfield Products business segments as compared to $2,969 and $5,319, respectively, for the first half of 2013. The higher level of selling and distribution expenses for our Oilfield Products segment relative to its contribution to our consolidated net sales reflects the need, particularly in North America, to maintain a number of strategically located distribution centers that are in close proximity to areas which contain a large concentration of oilfields and enjoy a high volume of related oil and gas drilling activities.

Amortization expense relates to intangible assets in connection with acquisitions in our Oilfield Products segment.  The $49 increase in second quarter 2014 amortization expenses reflects the impact of foreign currency translation.  Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 includes $1,275, $293, and $49 relating to values assigned to customer relationships, core technology, and trademarks/trade names, respectively.  Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 includes $1,242, $279 and $47 relating to values assigned to customer relationships, core technology, and trademarks/trade names, respectively.

Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 includes $2,549, $585, and $98 relating to values assigned to customer relationships, core technology, and trademarks/trade names, respectively. Amortization for the six months ended June

30, 2013 includes $2,497, $562, and $94 relating to values assigned to customer relationships, core technology, and trademarks/trade names, respectively.

Amortization expense (as measured in Euros) associated with the DYNAenergetics acquisition and the acquisition of the two Russian joint ventures is expected to approximate €3,333 and €225, respectively, in 2014.  Our 2014 amortization expense associated with the Austin Explosives and TRX Industries acquisitions is expected to approximate $435 and $895, respectively, and our 2014 amortization expense (as measured in Canadian dollars) associated with the LRI acquisition is expected to approximate 80 CAD.

Our consolidated operating income decreased by $2,022 to $3,991 in the second quarter of 2014 from $6,013 in the second quarter of 2013. These operating income totals for the second quarters of 2014 and 2013 include $1,490 and $1,158, respectively, of unallocated corporate expenses and $1,036 and $635, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. Our consolidated operating income increased by $1,797 to $6,755 for the first half of 2014 from $4,958 for the fist half of 2013. These operating income totals for 2014 and 2013 include $3,119 and $4,664, respectively, of unallocated corporate expenses and $1,591 and $2,057, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. These expenses are not allocated to our business segments and thus are not included in the below 2014 and 2013 operating income totals for NobelClad and Oilfield Products.

The increase in our consolidated operating income for the first half of 2014 reflects decreases in stock-based compensation expense and unallocated corporate expenses of $466 and $1,545, respectively and a decrease of $214 in the aggregate operating income reported by our two business segments. The aggregate net decrease of $2,011 in unallocated corporate expenses and stock-based compensation expense primarily relates to the $2,965 of non-recurring expenses in the first quarter 2013 associated with management retirements.
 
NobelClad's operating income of $3,122 in the second quarter of 2014 decreased 40.5% from $5,245 in the second quarter of 2013.  Operating results of NobelClad for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 include $548 and $521, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets. NobelClad reported operating income of $4,500 in the first half of 2014 compared to $7,689 in the first half of 2013. Operating results of NobelClad for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 include $1,095 and $1,049, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets. The decrease in operating income for the quarter and year-to-date periods was attributable to lower sales combined with the higher manufacturing overhead expenses discussed above.  
 
Oilfield Products' operating income of $3,395 in the second quarter of 2014 increased 32.6% from $2,561 in the second quarter of 2013.  Oilfield Products' operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 include $1,069 and $1,047, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets. Oilfield Products reported operating income of $6,965 in the first half of 2014 compared to $3,990 in the first half of 2013. Operating results of Oilfield Products for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 include $2,137 and $2,104, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets. The increase in operating income for the quarter and year-to-date periods was largely attributable to the improved sales volumes and gross margin percentages as discussed above.

Net other expense was $103 for the six month ended June 30, 2014 compared to net other expense of $124 for the same period of 2013. Our first half 2014 net other expense of $103 included net realized and unrealized foreign exchange losses of $178.

The effective tax rate decreased to 30.4% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 36.1% for the second quarter of 2013. We recorded an income tax provision of $1,263 in the second quarter of 2014 compared to an income tax provision of $1,956 in the second quarter of 2013.  Our consolidated income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 included a U.S. tax benefit of $48 in 2014 and a U.S. tax provision of $1,240 in 2013, with the remainder relating to net foreign tax provisions of $1,311 and $716, respectively, associated with our foreign operations and holding companies.

The effective tax rate increased to 29.0% for the first half of 2014 compared to 17.5% for the first half of 2013. Excluding the effects of the $914 tax benefit we recorded in the first quarter 2013 and $404 of additional tax expense we recorded in the second quarter 2013, our first half 2013 effective tax rate would have been 28.8%. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded an income tax provision of $1,849 compared to an income tax provision of $785 for the same period of 2013. Our

Table of Contents

consolidated income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 included $776 and $766, respectively, related to U.S. tax benefit, with the remainder relating to net foreign tax provisions of $2,625 and $1,551, respectively.

In January 2013, the United States Congress authorized, and the President signed into law, changes to the U. S. income tax laws which were retroactive to January 1, 2012. However, since these changes were enacted in 2013, the financial statement benefit of such legislation could not be reflected until the first quarter of 2013. The $914 tax benefit that we recognized in the first quarter of 2013 had a significant favorable impact on our first quarter and first half of 2013 effective tax rate. During the second quarter of 2013, we recorded a one-time tax expense of $404 associated with a German tax audit settlement. This non-recurring adjustment had a significant unfavorable impact on our second quarter and first half 2013 effective tax rate.

Our statutory income tax rates range from 20% to 35% for our various U.S. and foreign operating entities and holding companies. Fluctuations in our consolidated effective tax rate also reflect the different tax rates in our U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions and the variation in contribution to consolidated pre-tax income from each jurisdiction for the respective year.

We expect our blended effective tax rate for the full year 2014 to range from 29% to 30% based on projected pre-tax income.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that we believe provides an important indicator of our ongoing operating performance.  Our aggregate non-cash depreciation, amortization of purchased intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $4,580 and $3,660, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $8,745 and $8,084, respectively.  These aggregate non-cash charges represent a significant percentage of the consolidated operating income that we reported for these periods.  We use non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in our operational and financial decision-making and believe that these non-GAAP measures facilitate a more meaningful and accurate comparison of the operating performance of our two business segments than do certain GAAP measures.  Research analysts, investment bankers and lenders also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance.  In addition, during 2014, our management incentive awards will be based, in part, upon the amount of EBITDA achieved during the year. A portion of the equity incentive awards granted in 2014 to our named executive officers will be earned based on the amount of Adjusted EBITDA achieved in 2014 and 2015. The following is a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBIDTA.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 11.3% to $8,571 in the second quarter of 2014 from $9,658 in the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to the $2,022 decrease in second quarter 2014 operating income. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 19.2% to $15,500 for the first half of 2014 from $12,999 for the first half of 2013 primarily due to the increase in operating income.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We have historically financed our operations and business acquisitions from a combination of internally generated cash flow, revolving credit borrowings, various long-term debt arrangements, and the issuance of common stock.  We believe that cash flow from operations and funds available under our current credit facilities and any future replacement thereof will be sufficient to fund the working capital, debt service, and capital expenditure requirements of our current business operations for the foreseeable future.  Nevertheless, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations will depend upon our success in executing our strategies. If we are unable to (i) realize sales from our backlog; (ii) secure new customer orders; (iii) continue selling products at attractive margins; and (iv) continue to implement cost-effective internal processes, our ability to meet cash requirements through operating activities could be impacted.  Furthermore, any restriction on the availability of borrowings under our credit facilities could negatively affect our ability to meet future cash requirements. 

Debt facilities
 
On December 21, 2011, we entered into a five-year syndicated credit agreement, which provides revolving loan availability of $36,000, 16,000 Euros and 1,500 Canadian Dollars through a syndicate of four banks, and amends and restates in its entirety our prior syndicated credit agreement entered into on November 16, 2007. We also maintain a line of credit with a German bank for certain DYNAenergetics operations. This line of credit provides a borrowing capacity of 4,000 Euros. 

As of June 30, 2014, U.S. dollar revolving loans of $31,800 were outstanding under our syndicated credit agreement and $20 was outstanding under loan agreements with the former owners of LRI.  While we had approximately $31,525 of unutilized revolving credit loan capacity as of June 30, 2014 under our various credit facilities, future borrowings are subject to compliance with financial covenants that could significantly limit availability.
 
There are two significant financial covenants under our syndicated credit agreement, the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio requirements.  The leverage ratio is defined in the credit agreement as Consolidated Funded Indebtedness at the balance sheet date as compared to Consolidated EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before provisions for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, extraordinary, non-recurring charges and other non-cash charges, for the previous twelve months.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, Consolidated EBITDA approximated the “Adjusted EBITDA” that we reported for the respective periods.  As of June 30, 2014, the maximum leverage ratio permitted by our credit facility was 2.0 to 1.0. The actual leverage ratio as of June 30, 2014 was 1.06 to 1.0. The maximum leverage ratio permitted as of September 30 and December 31, 2014 is 2.0 to 1.0.
 
The fixed charge ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, means, for any period, the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges.  Consolidated EBITDA is defined above and Fixed Charges equals the sum of cash interest expense, cash dividends, cash income taxes and an amount equal to 75% of depreciation expense.  For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2014, the minimum fixed charge ratio permitted by our credit facility was 2.0 to 1.0. The actual fixed charge ratio for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2014 was 2.35 to 1.0. The minimum fixed charge coverage ratio permitted for the twelve month periods ending September 30 and December 31, 2014 is 2.0 to 1.0.
 
Debt and other contractual obligations and commitments
 
Our existing loan agreements include various covenants and restrictions, certain of which relate to the payment of dividends or other distributions to stockholders, redemption of capital stock, incurrence of additional indebtedness, mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets, and maintenance of specified financial ratios.  As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.
 
Our principal cash flows related to debt obligations and other contractual obligations and commitments have not materially changed since December 31, 2013.

Cash flows from operating activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $691 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with $15,398 for the same period in 2013. The year-over-year decline of $14,707 was driven by a $15,914 net increase in working capital, which more than offset higher net income of $827. We experienced negative net working capital changes of $12,566 in the first first half of

23

Table of Contents

2014 compared to net positive changes in working capital of $3,348 in the same period of 2013. Negative changes in our 2014 working capital included an increase in inventories and prepaid expenses of $5,089 and $2,876, respectively, and a decrease of $4,820 in accounts payable. The increases in working capital were driven by a short-term inventory build in DynaEnergetics related to customer order patterns and ramp up of the new DynaSelect system introduction, timing of accounts payable and prepayment for raw materials with long lead times but favorable pricing. These negative changes were partly offset by a $1,612 increase in customer advances.

 Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased to $15,398 in the first half of 2013 from $8,075 in the first half 2012, reflecting a $1,390 decrease in net income that was offset by positive changes in net working capital of $7,694 and positive changes in non-cash adjustments aggregating $1,019. We experienced net positive changes in working capital of $3,348 in the first half of 2013 compared to net negative changes in working capital of $4,346 in the same period of 2012. Positive changes in our 2013 working capital included a decrease in inventories of $1,889 and increases of $3,103, $3,427 and $484 in accounts payable, customer advances, and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively. These positive changes were partly offset by an increase of $5,012 in accounts receivable and an increase of $543 in prepaid expenses and other. All of foregoing changes in working capital related to typical fluctuations in our business flow and the related timing of cash payments and receipts.
 
Cash flows from investing activities
 
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $4,267 and consisted almost entirely of capital expenditures, which included $2,552 for our green field investment in Russia to expand capacity in DynaEnergetics.
 
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the first half of 2013 totaled $9,534 and consisted almost entirely of capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures included $5,626 for our greenfield projects in Russia and North America.

Cash flows from financing activities
 
Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the first half of 2014 totaled $1,740, which included net borrowinngs on bank lines of credit of $2,555 which was partially offset by payment of quarterly dividends of $1,108. 
 
Net cash flows used in financing activities for the first half of 2013 totaled $11,629, which included net repayments on bank lines of credit of $9,811 and payment of quarterly dividends of $1,088. 
 
Payment of Dividends
 
On May 14, 2014, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share which was paid on July 15, 2014.  The dividend totaled $559 and was payable to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2014.  We also paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share in the first quarter of 2014 and the first and second quarters of 2013.
 
We may continue to pay quarterly dividends in the future subject to capital availability and periodic determinations that cash dividends are in compliance with our debt covenants and are in the best interests of our stockholders, but we cannot assure you that such payments will continue.  Future dividends may be affected by, among other items, our views on potential future capital requirements, future business prospects, debt covenant compliance, changes in federal income tax laws, or any other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.  Any decision to pay cash dividends is and will continue to be at the discretion of board of directors.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our critical accounting policies have not changed from those reported in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
 
There have been no events that materially affect our quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk from that reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is accurately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s

24

Table of Contents

rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized 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 necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
As of June 30, 2014, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)).  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.  There have been no changes in our internal controls during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 or in other factors that could materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud.  Further, 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.  As a result of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.  As a result of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.  Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
