Overview

 

Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (referred to herein as the “Company,” “Pioneer,” “we,” “our” and “us”) manufacture, sell and service a broad range of specialty electrical transmission, distribution and on-site power generation equipment for applications in the utility, industrial, commercial and backup power markets. The Company is headquartered in Fort Lee, New Jersey and operates from five (5) additional locations in the U.S. for manufacturing, centralized distribution, engineering, sales and administration.

 

We have two reportable segments as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 29, 2019: Transmission and Distribution Solutions (“T&D Solutions”) and Critical Power Solutions (“Critical Power”).

 

Recent Developments

 

On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Electrogroup Canada, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Electrogroup”), Jefferson Electric, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Jefferson”), JE Mexican Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“JE Mexico,” and together with Electrogroup and Jefferson, the “Disposed Companies”), Nathan Mazurek, Pioneer Transformers L.P. (the “US Buyer”) and Pioneer Acquireco ULC (the “Canadian Buyer,” and together with the US Buyer, the “Buyer”). Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell (i) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Electrogroup to the Canadian Buyer and (ii) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Jefferson and JE Mexico to the US Buyer (the “Equity Transaction”), for an aggregate base cash purchase price of $60.5 million, as well as the issuance by the Buyer of a subordinated promissory note to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million, in each case subject to certain adjustments.

 

If the Equity Transaction is completed, Pioneer Power would sell to the Buyer all of the assets and liabilities associated with its liquid-filled transformer and dry-type transformer manufacturing businesses within the Company’s Transmission & Distribution Solutions segment (the “T&D Segment”). However, Pioneer Power would retain its switchgear manufacturing business within the T&D segment, as well as all of the operations associated with its critical power solutions segment.

 

On June 28, 2019, certain stockholders of the Company holding an aggregate of 4,774,400 shares of the Company’s common stock, which, as of such date, constituted approximately 54.7% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, executed a written consent approving the Stock Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Equity Transaction.

 

Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC and reflect the accounts of the Company as of June 30, 2019. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading to the reader. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows with respect to the interim consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a year-end balance sheet.

 

All dollar amounts (except share and per share data) presented in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted. Amounts may not foot due to rounding.

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pioneer and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Operating results of liquid-filled and dry-type transformer manufacturing businesses have been previously included in the T&D Segment, which have now been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 6 – Discontinued Operations in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q. Unless noted otherwise, discussions in these notes pertain to our continuing operations.

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the risk factors under the heading “Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the risk factors and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and its subsidiaries included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Liquidity

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements as of the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $4.8 million, and has working capital of $6.8 million. As of June 30, 2019, we had total debt of $25.1 million and $490 of cash and cash equivalents on hand. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings under our revolving credit facilities. Our cash requirements are generally for operating activities, debt repayment, capital improvements and acquisitions. As further discussed in Note 11 - Debt in Part I of this Form 10-Q our credit facilities’ maturity dates have been extended until April 1, 2020.

 

The financial statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that there will be no material adverse developments in our business, liquidity, capital requirements and that our credit facilities with our lender will remain available to us and will not need to be replaced.

 

Management believes that its capital resources are adequate to fund operations through the first quarter of 2020, but the availability of the Company’s capital resources is dependent on the Company’s ability to meet the working capital obligations pursuant to the credit agreements with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”), its lender. The Company has certain credit arrangements with BMO that contain subjective acceleration clauses, and the Company has had several instances of non-compliance with certain of the covenants included in such credit agreements. Management has historically been able to obtain from BMO waivers of any non-compliance and management expects to be able to continue to obtain necessary waivers in the event of future non-compliance; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such waivers, and should BMO refuse to provide a waiver in the future, the outstanding debt under the credit facilities could become due immediately. Additionally, the term of the Company’s agreement with BMO ends in April 2020. Concurrently with the closing of the Equity Transaction, all existing credit facilities granted by Bank of Montreal (BMO) under the Canadian Facilities (as defined below) and the U.S. Facilities (as defined below) will be repaid in full. The operations of the Company are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among others, uncertainty of commercial manufacturing at acceptable margins, marketing or sales acceptance, and dependence on key personnel.
