Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Miller Industries, Inc. include the accounts of all consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated. The results of businesses acquired or disposed of are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition or up to the date of disposal, respectively.

References to "we," "our," and similar pronouns in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (this "Form 10-Q") are to Miller Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Financial results presented for this fiscal 2024 interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of certain subsidiaries whose fiscal closing dates differ from December 31 st by 31 days (or less) to facilitate timely reporting.

Significant Accounting Policies

A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-Kfiled with the SEC for fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results. Specifically, for the first quarter of 2023, we reclassified$61.0 thousand and$223.0 thousand from the provision for common stock to non-employee directors and stock-based compensation on nonvested restricted stock units to stock-based compensation, respectively, and changed the vesting of executive restricted stock units line item to issuance of common stock, net of shares withheld for employee taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

There were no new material accounting standards adopted in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this Update require an entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The ASU also requires entities with a single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures under ASC 280, including the new disclosures under this ASU. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this Update improve transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures.

2. BUSINESS COM****BINATIONS

On May 31, 2023, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Southern Hydraulic Cylinder, Inc. through an acquisition subsidiary formed as a Tennessee corporation, which then changed its name to SHC, Inc. (“SHC”). SHC manufactures, sells and services hydraulic cylinders and related components. The operations of SHC align with those of the Company, which management believes will strengthen its efforts to enhance the stability of the Company’s supply chain.

The purchase price totaling approximately $17.4 million was comprised of cash on hand and by drawing on the existing revolving credit facility.

The preliminary allocation of the consideration for the net assets acquired from the acquisition of SHC were as follows:

​​​​
(in thousands)​​​
Sources of financing​​​
Cash​$17,376
Fair value of consideration transferred​​17,376
​​​​
Fair value of assets and liabilities​​​
Accounts receivable​​2,245
Fixed assets​​3,735
Inventory​​3,467
Prepaid insurance​​71
Intangibles​​193
Total identifiable assets acquired​​9,711
​​​​
Assumed liabilities​​738
Goodwill​$8,403

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and is deductible for tax purposes. The acquisition of SHC resulted in the recognition of $8.4 million of goodwill. The Company believes goodwill is attributable to the investment for its ability to stabilize supply chain through vertical integration and introducing automation and improving production efficiency, as well as the workforce of the acquired business.

For fixed assets, the real property fair value of $3.0 million was comprised of land and buildings of $2.8 million and cranes of $0.2 million. The fair value was determined by a third-party appraisal performed using a sales comparison approach and income approach. The net book value of $0.7 million was determined to approximate fair market value for the remaining fixed assets.

Identifiable intangible assets consisted of a restrictive covenant agreement of $25.0 thousand and order backlog of $168.0 thousand. The fair value of intangible assets was determined by a third-party valuation. The restrictive covenant agreement and order backlog were valued using the income approach, specifically the with-or-without method and multi-period excess earnings method, respectively.

The fair value of the assets acquired includes trade receivables of $2.2 million that are not purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The Company does not anticipate any markdowns of trade receivables or corresponding credit losses.

The results of operations of SHC are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income since the acquisition date. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition were not significant.

The allocations of the fair value of the acquired business were based on preliminary valuations of the estimated net fair value of the assets acquired. The fair value estimates are subject to adjustment during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The fair values of the net assets acquired are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. During the measurement period, we will adjust preliminary valuations assigned to assets and liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, if any, that, if known, would have resulted in revised values for these items as of that date.

5. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

Credit Facility

The Company’s loan agreement with First Horizon Bank, which governs its $100.0 million amended unsecured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 31, 2027, contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and financial, affirmative and negative covenants for loan agreements of this kind. The credit facility restricts the payment of cash dividends if the payment would cause the Company to be in violation of the minimum tangible net worth test or the leverage ratio test in the loan agreement, among various other customary covenants. In absence of default, all borrowings under the amended credit facility bear interest at the one-month Term SOFR Rate plus 1.00% or 1.25% per annum.

We were in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility throughout 2023 and as of March 31, 2024. The Company pays a non-usage fee under the current loan agreement at a rate per annum equal to between 0.15% and 0.35% of the unused amount of the credit facility, which fee is paid quarterly.

Interest expense on the credit facility was $0.9 million and $0.7 million for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company had outstanding borrowings of $55.0 million and $60.0 million under the credit facility at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

6. INCOME TAXES

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company hadno federal net operating loss carryforwards. State net operating loss carryforwards were $3.7 million and $1.1 million at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

7. LEASES

We have lease agreements for equipment and facilities under long-term non-cancelable leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception by evaluating whether the arrangement conveys the right to use an identified asset and whether we obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from and have the ability to direct the use of the asset. Our lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, plus payments made prior to lease commencement and any initial direct costs. Operating lease expense for operating lease assets is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

We also have elected to apply a practical expedient for short-term leases whereby we do not recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related right-of-use asset or lease obligation for such contracts.

Our leases have remaining lease terms that expire at various dates through 2029. Certain of our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and the Company includes those leases when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option.

Contingencies

The Company has entered into arrangements with third-party lenders where it has agreed to repurchase products that are repossessed from the independent distributor customer in the event of default. These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, the maximum amount of collateral the Company could be required to purchase was $148.5 million and $128.7 million, respectively. The Company’s financial exposure under these arrangements is limited to the difference between the amount paid to third-party lenders for repurchases of inventory and the amount received upon subsequent resale of the repossessed product. The Company had no repurchases of inventory during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023 and concluded the liability associated with potential repurchase obligations was neither probable, nor material.

Litigation

We are subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company has established accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable and maintains product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. Although management believes that any pending claims and lawsuits will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, the adjudication of such matters is subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s assessment may change depending on future events.
