COMPX INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2019
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and basis of presentation:
Organization . We (NYSE American: CIX) are 86% owned by NL Industries, Inc. (NYSE: NL) at September 30, 2019. We manufacture and sell component products (security products and recreational marine components). At September 30, 2019, Valhi, Inc. (NYSE: VHI) owns 83% of NL’s outstanding common stock and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Contran Corporation owns 92% of Valhi’s outstanding common stock. At September 30, 2019, a majority of Contran’s outstanding voting stock is held directly by Lisa K. Simmons and Serena Simmons Connelly and various family trusts established for the benefit of Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly and their children and for which Ms. Simmons or Ms. Connelly, as applicable, serves as trustee. In addition, each of Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly serves as co-chair of the Contran board of directors. The remainder of Contran’s outstanding voting stock is held by another trust (the “Family Trust”), which was established for the benefit of Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly and their children and for which a third-party financial institution serves as trustee. Consequently, at September 30, 2019, Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly and the Family Trust may be deemed to control Contran, and therefore may be deemed to indirectly control the wholly-owned subsidiary of Contran, Valhi, NL and us.
Basis of presentation. Consolidated in this Quarterly Report are the results of CompX International Inc. and its subsidiaries. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report have been prepared on the same basis as the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2019 (the “2018 Annual Report”). In our opinion, we have made all necessary adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) in order to state fairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. We have condensed the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 contained in this Quarterly Report as compared to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date, and we have omitted certain information and footnote disclosures (including those related to the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018) normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our results of operations for the interim periods ended September 30, 2019 may not be indicative of our operating results for the full year. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with our 2018 Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2018 Annual Report.
Our operations are reported on a 52 or 53-week year. For presentation purposes, annual and quarterly information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes are presented as ended September 30, 2018, December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019. The actual dates of our annual and quarterly periods are September 30, 2018, December 30, 2018 and September 29, 2019, respectively. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this report to “we”, “us” or “our” refer to CompX International Inc. and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Under the 2017 Tax Act enacted into law on December 22, 2017, beginning in 2018, domestic corporations who are U.S. exporters with no foreign operations may be eligible for a deduction under the foreign derived intangible income provisions. We qualify for this deduction and recognized a current cash tax benefit of $170,000 in the first nine months of 2019 ($98,000 of such current cash tax benefit is related to 2018).

Note 8 – Related party transactions:
From time to time, we may have loans and advances outstanding between us and various related parties pursuant to term and demand notes. We generally enter into these loans and advances for cash management purposes. When we loan funds to related parties, we are generally able to earn a higher rate of return on the loan than we would earn if we invested the funds in other instruments, and when we borrow from related parties, we are generally able to pay a lower rate of interest than we would pay if we had incurred third-party indebtedness. While certain of these loans to affiliates may be of a lesser credit quality than cash equivalent instruments otherwise available to us, we believe we have considered the credit risks in the terms of the applicable loans. In this regard, we have an unsecured revolving demand promissory note with Valhi whereby we agreed to loan Valhi up to $40 million. Our
- 9 -
loan to Valhi, as amended, bears interest at prime plus 1.00%, (6.0% at September 30, 2019) payable quarterly, with all principal due on demand, but in any event no ea rlier than December 31, 2020. Loans made to Valhi at any time under the agreement are at our discretion. At September 30, 2019, the outstanding principal balance receivable from Valhi under the promissory note was $36.7 million. Interest income (includin g unused commitment fees) on our loan to Valhi was $0.5 million and $0.6 million for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively, and $1.6 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, r espectively. On September 30, 2019 (one day after our fiscal quarterly period, but on the last day of the fiscal period for Valhi), we loaned $3.3 million to Valhi, increasing the outstanding principal balance receivable from Valhi under the promissory not e to $40.0 million.
Note 9 – Recent accounting pronouncements:
Adopted
On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which was a comprehensive rewriting of the lease accounting guidance which aimed to increase comparability and transparency with regard to lease transactions. The primary change for leases currently classified as operating leases is the balance sheet recognition of a lease asset for the right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability for the lessee’s obligation to make payments. Due to our minimal utilization of lease financing, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

General
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Statements in this Quarterly Report that are not historical facts are forward-looking in nature and represent management’s beliefs and assumptions based on currently available information. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “believes,” “intends,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “anticipates,” “expects” or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategies or trends. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we do not know if these expectations will be correct. Such statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected results. Actual future results could differ materially from those predicted. The factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially from those described herein are the risks and uncertainties discussed in this Quarterly Report and those described from time to time in our other filings with the SEC and include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
|
• |
Future demand for our products, |
|
|
• |
Changes in our raw material and other operating costs (such as zinc, brass, steel and energy costs) and our ability to pass those costs on to our customers or offset them with reductions in other operating costs, |
|
|
• |
Price and product competition from low-cost manufacturing sources (such as China), |
|
|
• |
The impact of pricing and production decisions, |
|
|
• |
Customer and competitor strategies including substitute products, |
|
|
• |
Uncertainties associated with the development of new product features, |
|
|
• |
Future litigation, |
|
|
• |
Our ability to protect or defend our intellectual property rights, |
|
|
• |
Potential difficulties in integrating future acquisitions, |
|
|
• |
Decisions to sell operating assets other than in the ordinary course of business, |
|
|
• |
Environmental matters (such as those requiring emission and discharge standards for existing and new facilities), |
|
|
• |
The ultimate outcome of income tax audits, tax settlement initiatives or other tax matters, including future tax reform, |
|
|
• |
The impact of current or future government regulations (including employee healthcare benefit related regulations), |
|
|
• |
General global economic and political conditions that introduce instability into the U.S. economy (such as changes in the level of gross domestic product in various regions of the world), |
|
|
• |
Operating interruptions (including, but not limited to labor disputes, hazardous chemical leaks, natural disasters, fires, explosions, unscheduled or unplanned downtime, transportation interruptions and cyber-attacks); and |
|
|
• |
Possible disruption of our business or increases in the cost of doing business resulting from terrorist activities or global conflicts. |
Should one or more of these risks materialize or if the consequences worsen, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those currently forecasted or expected. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement whether as a result of changes in information, future events or otherwise.
- 11 -
Operating income of $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2019 declined slightly from $4.5 million in the same period of 2018. Operating income for the first nine months of 2019 declined to $14.2 million compared to $14.9 million for the comparable period in 2018. The decrease in operating income in both periods of 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 is primarily due to lower Security Products sales volumes and increased labor rates and associated payroll costs at our Security Products segment, partially offset by the effect of higher sales volumes at our Marine Components segment.
We sell a large number of products that have a wide variation in selling price and manufacturing cost, which results in certain practical limitations on our ability to quantify the impact of changes in individual product sales quantities and selling prices on our net sales, cost of sales and gross margin. In addition, small variations in period-to-period net sales, cost of sales and gross margin can result from changes in the relative mix of our products sold.

Net sales . Net sales decreased $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 as higher Marine Components sales to the towboat market were more than offset by lower Security Products sales across a variety of markets. Net sales increased $3.8 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to strong sales growth at Marine Components partially offset by lower Security Products sales predominantly in the third quarter. Relative changes in selling prices did not have a material impact on net sales comparisons.
Cost of sales and gross margin. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales and gross margin for the third quarter of 2019 were comparable to the same period in 2018 as the improvement in the Marine Components gross margin percentage in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter 2018 offset the decline in relative contribution of Security Products which generally has higher gross margin percentages than Marine Components. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. As a result, gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased over the same period. The decrease in gross margin percentage is the result of the decline in Security Products gross margin percentage for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018.
Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses consist primarily of sales and administrative-related personnel costs, sales commissions and advertising expenses, as well as gains and losses on plant, property and equipment. Operating costs and expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 increased compared to the same period in 2018 largely due to increased administration costs at Marine Components.
Operating income. As a percentage of net sales, operating income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 decreased compared to the same periods of 2018 and was primarily impacted by the factors impacting cost of sales, gross margin and operating costs discussed above.

Provision for income taxes. A tabular reconciliation of our actual tax provision to the U.S. fed eral statutory income tax rate is included in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our operations are wholly within the U.S. and therefore our effective income tax rate is primarily reflective of the U.S. federal statutory rate and ap plicable state taxes.

Security Products . Security Products net sales decreased 5% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to lower sales across a variety of markets including a $0.5 million decrease in each of the transportation and government security markets. Security Products net sales for the first nine months of 2019 was comparable to the same period last year. Gross margin and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2019 declined as compared to the same periods last year primarily due to increased labor rates and associated payroll costs resulting from regional pressure on wages for certain skilled labor positions as well as reduced leverage of fixed costs on decreased production volumes.
Marine Components . Marine Components net sales increased 15% and 31% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods last year. The increase in sales is primarily due to increased sales to the towboat market, primarily wake enhancement systems and surf pipes to an original equipment boat manufacturer. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin and operating income increased in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to improved fixed cost leverage facilitated by higher production volumes. Gross margin percentage for the first nine months of 2019 is comparable to the same period last year as improved cost leverage on higher production volumes was offset by less favorable customer and product mix, predominantly in the first half of the year. Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to improved fixed cost leverage facilitated by higher production volumes somewhat offset in both periods by increased administrative costs to support higher sustained sales volumes.
Outlook. As reflected in the operating results, our Security Products segment encountered generally weakening economic conditions among its customers and markets during the latter half of the third quarter. As expected, the rate of sales growth for Marine Components began to moderate in the third quarter relative to the same period in 2018, the quarter in which we significantly increased our deliveries of wake enhancement systems. Nevertheless, absent further economic slowdown, we believe full year sales will exceed 2018. Operating income and operating margin for the Security Products segment decreased for the first nine months of
- 13 -
2019 relative to prior year due to higher labor rates and associated payroll costs, the effect of which we were not able to offset through higher selling prices. Although we have experienced minimal direct impact from recently enacted tariffs, we believe that tariffs and related global trade concerns may be impacting our significant original equipme nt manufacturer customers. We will continue to monitor economic conditions and sales order rates and respond to fluctuations in customer demand through continuous evaluation of staffing levels and discretionary spending as well as consistent execution of o ur lean manufacturing and cost improvement initiatives. Additionally, we continue to seek opportunities to gain market share in markets we currently serve, to expand into new markets and to develop new product features in order to mitigate the impact of ch anges in demand as well as broaden our sales base.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Consolidated cash flows –
Operating activities . Trends in cash flows from operating activities, excluding changes in assets and liabilities, have generally been similar to the trends in operating earnings. Changes in assets and liabilities result primarily from the timing of production, sales and purchases. Changes in assets and liabilities generally tend to even out over time. However, period-to-period relative changes in assets and liabilities can significantly affect the comparability of cash flows from operating activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2019 decreased by $0.3 million as compared to the first nine months of 2018. The decrease is primarily due to the net effects of:
|
|
• |
A $0.7 million decrease in operating income in 2019, |
|
|
• |
A $0.5 million increase in interest received in 2019 (net of accrued interest at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively), |
|
|
• |
A $0.8 million increase in cash paid for taxes in 2019 due to the relative timing of payments, and |
|
|
• |
A lower amount of net cash used by relative changes in inventories, receivables, payables and non-tax accruals of $0.4 million. |
Relative changes in working capital can have a significant effect on cash flows from operating activities. As shown below, the change in our average days sales outstanding from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019 varied by segment, primarily as a result of relative changes in the timing of collections. For comparative purposes, we have provided December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018 numbers below.

Our total average number of days in inventory increased from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019 due to increased inventory at Security Products primarily due to the timing of raw material purchases and an intentional raw material inventory build related to product lines in which certain components require long lead-times. The variability in days in inventory among our segments relates to the differences in the average length of time it takes to produce and sell end-products. Generally, we expect Security Products inventory to turn faster than Marine Components. For comparative purposes, we have provided December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018 numbers below.

Investing activities. Our capital expenditures were $2.5 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to $2.0 million in the first nine months of 2018. During the first nine months of 2019, Valhi borrowed a net $2.7 million under the promissory note ($28.1 million of gross borrowings and $25.4 million of gross repayments). During the first nine months of 2018, Valhi repaid a net $5.2 million under the promissory note ($39.0 million of gross borrowings and $44.2 million of gross repayments). See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Financing activities. Financing activities consisted only of quarterly cash dividends. In February 2019, our board of directors increased our regular quarterly dividend from $.05 per share to $.07 per share beginning in the first quarter of 2019. The declaration and payment of future dividends and the amount thereof, if any, is discretionary and is dependent upon our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements for our businesses, contractual requirements and restrictions and other factors deemed relevant
- 14 -
by our board of directors. The amount and timing of past dividends is not necessarily indicative of the amount or timing of any future dividends which we might pay.
Future cash requirements –
Liquidity . Our primary source of liquidity on an on-going basis is our cash flow from operating activities, which is generally used to (i) fund capital expenditures, (ii) repay short-term or long-term indebtedness incurred primarily for capital expenditures, investment activities or reducing our outstanding stock, (iii) provide for the payment of dividends (if declared), and (iv) lend to affiliates. From time-to-time, we will incur indebtedness, primarily to fund capital expenditures or business combinations.
Periodically, we evaluate liquidity requirements, alternative uses of capital, capital needs and available resources in view of, among other things, our capital expenditure requirements, dividend policy and estimated future operating cash flows. As a result of this process, we have in the past and may in the future seek to raise additional capital, refinance or restructure indebtedness, issue additional securities, modify our dividend policy or take a combination of such steps to manage our liquidity and capital resources. In the normal course of business, we may review opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business combinations in the component products industry. In the event of any such transaction, we may consider using available cash, issuing additional equity securities or increasing our indebtedness or that of our subsidiaries.
We believe that cash generated from operations together with cash on hand, as well as our ability to obtain external financing, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service, dividends (if declared) and any amounts we might loan from time to time under the terms of our revolving loan to Valhi discussed in Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (which loans would be solely at our discretion) for both the next 12 months and five years. To the extent that our actual operating results or other developments differ from our expectations, our liquidity could be adversely affected.
All of our $50.2 million aggregate cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2019 were held in the U.S.
Capital Expenditures. Firm purchase commitments for capital projects in process at September 30, 2019 totaled $0.6 million. Our 2019 capital investments are limited to those expenditures required to meet our expected customer demand and those required to properly maintain our facilities and technology infrastructure.
Commitments and Contingencies. There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since we filed our 2018 Annual Report and we refer you to that report for a complete description of these commitments.
Off-balance sheet financing arrangements –
We do not have any off-balance sheet financing agreements other than the operating leases discussed in our 2018 Annual Report.
Recent accounting pronouncements –
See Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical accounting policies –
There have been no changes in the first nine months of 2019 with respect to our critical accounting policies presented in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2018 Annual Report.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and raw material prices. There have been no material changes in these market risks since we filed our 2018 Annual Report, and we refer you to Part I, Item 7A – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” in our 2018 Annual Report. See also Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures which, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
- 15 -
procedures include, without limitation, controls and proc edures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial o fficer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. Our management with the participation of Scott C. James, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Amy A. Samford, our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019. Based upon their evaluation, these executive officers have concluded that our disclosure co ntrols and procedures are effective as of the date of such evaluation.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting . Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting which, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) , means a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
|
|
• |
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, |
|
|
• |
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and |
|
|
• |
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of an unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting . There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
- 16 -
Reference is made to the 2018 Annual Report for a discussion of the risk factors related to our businesses. There have been no material changes in such risk factors during the first nine months of 2019.
