Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
|
( 1 ) |
Basis of Presentation |
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of UFP Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) presented herein, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10 -Q and do not include all the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10 -K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the con‐densed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The results of operations for the three - and nine -month periods ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
New Accounting Policy
The Company translates all assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries, where the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency, at the period-end exchange rate and translates income and expenses at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. The net effect of this translation is recorded in the consolidated financial statements as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI). Translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes as they relate to permanent investments in the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are no newly issued accounting pronouncements that the Company expects to have a material effect on the financial statements.

Revenue Recognition |
The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of a promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the core principles of ASC 606 which include ( 1 ) identifying the contract with a customer, ( 2 ) identifying separate performance obligations within the contract, ( 3 ) determining the transaction price, ( 4 ) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and ( 5 ) recognizing revenue. The Company recognizes all but an immaterial portion of its product sales upon shipment. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of tooling and machinery primarily upon customer acceptance, with the exception of certain tooling where control does not transfer to the customer, resulting in revenue being recognized over the estimated time for which parts are produced with the use of each respective tool. The Company recognizes revenue from engineering services, which are primarily product development services, as the services are performed or as otherwise determined based on the substance of the agreement. The Company recognizes revenue from bill and hold transactions at the time the specified goods are complete and available to the customer. In the ordinary course of business, the Company accepts sales returns from customers for defective goods, such amounts being immaterial. Although only applicable to an insignificant number of transactions, the Company has elected to exclude sales taxes from the transaction price. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities for which the Company is responsible under the terms and conditions of the sale not as performance obligations but rather as fulfillment costs. These activities are required to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the good and are expensed when revenue is recognized.

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company’s monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. Estimates based on an assessment of anticipated payment and all other historical, current, and future information that is reasonably available are used to determine the allowance.
The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected as of September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Financial instruments recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, or disclosed at fair value in the footnotes, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:
Level 1
Valued based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2
Valued based on either directly or indirectly observable prices for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3
Valued based on management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
The following table presents the fair value and hierarchy levels, for financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Derivative financial instruments consist of an interest rate swap for which fair value is determined through the use of a pricing model that utilizes verifiable inputs such as market interest rates that are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swap agreement.
In connection with the acquisitions discussed in Note
2,
“Acquisitions,” the Company is required to make contingent payments, subject to the entities achieving certain financial performance thresholds. The contingent consideration payments for both the DAS Medical and Contech Medical acquisitions combined are up to $
In connection with the DAS Medical acquisition, the Company has entered into Non-Competition Agreements with the beneficiaries and the Company has agreed to pay additional consideration to the parties to the Non-Competition Agreements, including an aggregate of $
The Company has financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, that are stated at carrying amounts that approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the debt approximates the estimated borrowing rate currently available to the Company.

Share-Based Compensation |
Share-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
The Company issues share-based awards through several plans that are described in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Leases |
The Company has operating and finance leases for offices, manufacturing plants, vehicles and certain office and manufacturing equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company accounts for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not included in the right of use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities. These are expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and operating and finance lease liabilities are stated separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments pursuant to the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company's assumed lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. ROU assets are also adjusted for any deferred or accrued rent. As the Company's leases do not typically 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.

Net Income Per Share |
Basic income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during each period.
The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted net income per share consisted of the following (in thousands):

These outstanding stock options are

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company used interest-rate-related derivative instruments to manage its exposure related to changes in interest rates on certain of its variable-rate debt instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging. Derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, creating credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty and, therefore, in these circumstances the Company is not exposed to the counterparty’s credit risk. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit profile. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a derivative instrument that results from a change in interest rates.
The Company assesses interest rate risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that
may
adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. The Company’s debt obligations exposed the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. The Company believed that it was prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments.

As the Company has paid the remaining balance of the term loan that was associated with the swap in its entirety, there is no longer underlying debt to hedge against the swap. The changes in the fair value of the swap will continue to be accounted for as a financial instrument until the sooner of the time that the Company elects to cancel it or until its maturity, which will occur on February 1, 2023.

Overview
UFP Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is an innovative designer and custom manufacturer of components, subassemblies, products and packaging primarily for the medical market. Utilizing highly specialized foams, films and plastics, the Company converts raw materials through laminating, molding, radio frequency welding and fabricating techniques. The Company is diversified by also providing highly engineered solutions to customers in the aerospace & defense, automotive, consumer, electronics and industrial markets. The Company consists of a single operating and reportable segment.
The Company’s current strategy includes further organic growth and growth through strategic acquisitions.
Sales for the Company for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 increased 75.1% to $262.6 million from $150.0 million in the same period last year due to the Company’s acquisitions of Contech Medical, DAS Medical, and Advant Medical, and an organic sales increase of approximately 16.5%. Gross margins for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 increased slightly to 25.5% from 25.4% in the same period last year. Operating income and net income increased 168.5% and 163.1%, respectively.
Results of Operations
Sales
Sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 increased approximately 91.2% to $97.0 million from sales of $50.7 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in sales is primarily due to increases in sales to customers in the Medical market of 152.0%. The increases in sales in the Medical market were primarily due to sales from the Company’s recently acquired companies of $40.3 million as well as an organic sales increase of 27.6%. Sales to customers in all other markets decreased 16.2% largely due to the sale of Molded Fiber.
Sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 increased approximately 75.1% to $262.6 million from sales of $150.0 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in sales is primarily due to increases in sales to customers in the Medical market of 119.2%. The increases in sales in the Medical market were primarily due to sales from the Company’s recently acquired companies of $92.9 million, as well as an organic sales increase of 21.6%. Sales to customers in all other markets decreased 1.5%.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of sales (“gross margin”) increased to 26.3% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, from 23.7% for the same period in 2021. As a percentage of sales, material and labor costs collectively increased 5.7%, while overhead costs decreased 8.3%. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to the leverage of organic sales growth over the fixed portion of overhead, partially offset by inflationary cost increases in both raw materials and labor.

The increase in gross margin is primarily due to the leverage of organic sales growth over the fixed portion of overhead, partially offset by inflationary cost increases in both raw materials and labor.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased approximately 73.7% to $11.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, from $6.8 million for the same period in 2021, primarily due to the additional SG&A from recent acquisitions. As a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased to 12.2% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, from 13.4% for the same three-month period in 2021. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to increased sales measured against relatively fixed SG&A.
SG&A increased approximately 58.9% to $33.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, from $21.3 million for the same period in 2021, primarily due to the additional SG&A from recent acquisitions. As a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased to 12.9% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, from 14.2% for the same three-month period in 2021. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to increased sales measured against relatively fixed SG&A.
Acquisition Costs
The Company incurred approximately $10 thousand and $1.0 million in costs associated with acquisition related activities which were charged to expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. These costs were primarily for legal services, valuation services and stamp duty filings and are reflected on the face of the income statement.
Change in fair value of contingent consideration
In connection with the acquisitions discussed in Note 2, “Acquisitions,” the Company is required to make contingent payments, subject to the entities achieving certain financial performance thresholds. The contingent consideration payments for both the DAS Medical and Contech Medical acquisitions combined are up to $25 million. The fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration payments recognized upon the acquisition as part of the purchase accounting opening balance sheets totaled approximately $9.7 million and was estimated by discounting to present value the probability-weighted contingent payments expected to be made. Assumptions used in this calculation were managements financial forecasts, discount rate and various volatility factors. The ultimate settlement of contingent consideration could deviate from current estimates based on the actual results of these financial measures. This liability is considered to be a Level 3 financial liability that is re-measured each reporting period. The fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration payments recognized at September 30, 2022 for both the DAS Medical and Contech Medical acquisitions combined totaled approximately $19.1 million. The change in fair value of contingent consideration for the DAS Medical and Contech Medical acquisitions for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, resulted in an expense of approximately $3.3 million and $9.3 million, respectively, and was included in change in fair value of contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of income.
Gain on sale of Molded Fiber business
On July 26, 2022, pursuant to a share purchase agreement and related agreements, the Company sold its molded fiber business (“MFT”) and related real estate in Iowa to CKF USA INCORPORATED (“CKF”) (a Delaware Corporation) for approximately $31.4 million. The net book value of the assets sold were approximately $15.4 million and the Company recorded a net gain on sale of approximately $15.6 million, which was recorded in the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. A portion of the purchase price is being held in escrow to indemnify CKF against certain claims, losses, and liabilities. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants customary for transactions of this type. MFT’s annual revenue was approximately $21.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down debt on the Company’s revolving credit facility, as well as income tax obligations on the related gain.
Gain on sale of fixed assets
For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of fixed assets of approximately $3 thousand and $6.2 million, respectively. This was primarily the result of the sale of the Company’s Georgetown, Massachusetts manufacturing facility. The operations previously housed in this location have been fully absorbed by the nearby Newburyport manufacturing facility. The gain on the Georgetown manufacturing facility was determined by a sales price of approximately $6.7 million measured against a net book value and selling expenses of approximately $0.5 million.
Interest Income and Expense
Net interest expense was approximately $830 thousand for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, compared to net interest income of approximately $16 thousand for the same period in 2021. The increase in net interest expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to interest paid on funds drawn on the Company’s credit facility used to finance recent acquisitions.
Net interest expense was approximately $1.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 compared to net interest expense of $11 thousand in the same period of 2021. The increase in net interest expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to interest paid on funds drawn on the Company’s credit facility used to finance recent acquisitions.
Other (Income) Expense
Other income was approximately $104 thousand and other expense approximately $4 thousand for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and other income was approximately $313 thousand compared to $2 thousand for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increases in other income in both periods are primarily generated by foreign currency transaction gains and changes in the fair value of the swap liability, which is driven by anticipated future interest rate changes, offset by net cash settlement amounts related to the swap.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded tax expense of approximately 22.6% and 24.9% of income before income tax expense, respectively, for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the current period as compared to the prior period was largely due to lower statutory rates on certain foreign taxable income related to the Company’s acquisitions of DAS Medical and Advant Medical.
The Company recorded tax expense of approximately 22.4% and 23.6% of income before income tax expense, respectively, for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the current period as compared to the prior period was largely due to lower statutory rates on certain foreign taxable income that was new to the Company in 2022. The Company notes the potential for volatility in its effective tax rate, as any windfall or shortfall tax benefits related to its share-based compensation plans will be recorded directly into income tax expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company generally funds its operating expenses, capital requirements, and growth plan through internally generated cash and bank credit facilities.
Cash Flows
Net cash used for operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $144 thousand and was primarily a result of net income generated of approximately $33.3 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $9.1 million, share-based compensation of approximately $2.4 million, a change in the fair value of contingent consideration of approximately $9.3 million, an increase in deferred taxes of approximately $0.4 million, an increase in accounts payable of approximately $6.3 million due to the building of inventory to meet demand and the timing of vendor payments in the ordinary course of business, an increase in accrued expenses of approximately $13.0 million due primarily to the current portion of contingent consideration, and an increase in deferred revenue of approximately $0.5 million.
These cash inflows and adjustments to income were offset by a gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment of approximately $6.2 million, a gain on the sale the Molded Fiber business of approximately $15.6 million, a decrease in deferred taxes of approximately $0.4 million, an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $19.8 million due to higher sales in the last two months of the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the addition of Advant receivables, an increase in inventory of approximately $20.1 million due to inventory build for upcoming demand, restocking to historical levels and the addition of Advant inventory, an increase in refundable income taxes of approximately $3.6 million due to the timing of estimated tax payments, and an increase in other assets of approximately $2.6 million due to increased right of use lease assets and a decrease in other long-term liabilities of approximately $6.7 million.
Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $4.3 million and was primarily the result of the sale of Molded Fiber and the sale of the Georgetown manufacturing facility, offset by the acquisition of Advant, as well as additions of manufacturing machinery and equipment and various building improvements across the Company.
Net cash used for financing activities was approximately $5.2 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 and was primarily the result of payments on the revolving line of credit of approximately $45 million, principal payments of long-term debt of approximately $3 million, and payments of statutory withholding for stock options exercised and restricted stock units vested of approximately $1.5 million. These payments were partially offset by borrowings under our credit facility to fund acquisitions of approximately $44 million.
Outstanding and Available Debt
On December 22, 2021, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a secured $130 million Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as the initial lender, Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and L/C Issuer, and certain other lenders from time-to-time party thereto. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s prior credit agreement, originally dated as of February 1, 2018.
The credit facilities under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement consist of a $40 million secured term loan to the Company and a secured revolving credit facility, under which the Company may borrow up to $90 million. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement matures on December 21, 2026. The secured term loam requires quarterly principal payments of $1,000,000 commencing on March 31, 2022. The proceeds of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including funding the acquisition of DAS Medical, as well as certain other permitted acquisitions. The Company’s obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors.
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement calls for interest determined by the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (“BSBY”) plus a margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.0% or, at the discretion of the Company, the bank’s prime rate less a margin that ranges from .25% to zero. In both cases the applicable margin is dependent upon Company performance. Under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to a minimum fixed-charge coverage financial covenant as well as a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA financial covenant. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains other covenants customary for transactions of this type, including restrictions on certain payments, permitted indebtedness, and permitted investments.
At September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $71 million in borrowings outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which were used as partial consideration for the DAS Medical and Advant acquisitions, and also had approximately $0.7 million in standby letters of credit outstanding, drawable as a financial guarantee on worker’s compensation insurance policies. At September 30, 2022, the applicable interest rate was approximately 4.6% and the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a derivative instrument that results from a change in interest rates.
The Company assesses interest rate risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. The Company’s debt obligations exposed the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. The Company believed that it was prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments. To meet this objective, in connection with the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a $20 million, 5-year interest rate swap agreement under which the Company receives three-month LIBOR plus the applicable margin and pays a 2.7% fixed rate plus the applicable margin. The swap modified the Company’s interest rate exposure by converting the previous term loan from a variable rate to a fixed rate in order to hedge against the possibility of rising interest rates during the term of the loan.
The notional amount was approximately $6.4 million at September 30, 2022. The fair value of the swap as of September 30, 2022 was approximately $26 thousand and is included in other assets. The fair value of the swap as of December 31, 2021 was approximately $(176) thousand and is included in other liabilities. Changes in the fair value and net cash settlement amounts related to the swap are recorded in other income/expense and resulted in income of approximately $20 thousand and $202 thousand, respectively, during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022. Changes in the fair value of the swap resulted in income of $2 thousand and expense of $4 thousand, respectively during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021.
As the Company has paid the remaining balance of the term loan that was associated with the swap in its entirety, there is no longer underlying debt to hedge against the swap. The changes in the fair value of the swap will continue to be accounted for as a financial instrument until the sooner of the time that the Company elects to cancel it or until its maturity, which will occur on February 1, 2023.
Future Liquidity
The Company requires cash to pay its operating expenses, purchase capital equipment, and to service its contractual obligations. The Company’s principal sources of funds are its operations and its amended and restated credit facility. The Company used cash of approximately $144 thousand for operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022; and, the Company cannot guarantee that its operations will generate cash in future periods. The Company’s longer-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance and draws on the revolving credit facility are possible.
Throughout fiscal 2022, the Company plans to continue to add capacity to enhance operating efficiencies in its manufacturing plants. The Company may consider additional acquisitions of companies, technologies, or products that are complementary to its business. The Company believes that its existing resources, including its revolving credit facility, together with cash expected to be generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund its cash flow requirements, including capital asset acquisitions, through the next twelve months.
The Company may also require additional capital in the future to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, or other investments. These capital requirements could be substantial. The Company anticipates that any future expansion of its business will be financed through existing resources, cash flow from operations, the Company's revolving credit facility, or other new financing. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to meet existing financial covenants or obtain other new financing on favorable terms, if at all. The Company's liquidity will be impacted to the extent additional stock repurchases are made under the Company's stock repurchase program.
Stock Repurchase Program
The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method, using the first-in, first-out flow assumption, and includes treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity. On June 16, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Under the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through Rule 10b5-1 plans, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The stock repurchase program will end upon the earlier of the date on which the plan is terminated by the Board or when all authorized repurchases are completed. The timing and amount of stock repurchases, if any, will be determined based upon our evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time, and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the program.
The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under this program in the first nine months of 2022. At September 30, 2022 approximately $9.4 million was available for future repurchases of the Company’s common stock under this authorization.

As of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), the Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company closed the acquisitions of Contech, DAS Medical, and Advant Medical on October 12, 2021, December 22, 2021, and March 17, 2022, respectively. The new acquisitions’ total assets and revenues constituted approximately 45.1% and 35.4%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated total assets and revenues as shown on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2022. As the acquisitions occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company excluded all of the acquired businesses internal control over financial reporting from the scope of the assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This exclusion is in accordance with the general guidance issued by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope within the first year of acquisition if specified conditions are satisfied.
An evaluation was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Except as described above, that evaluation did not identify any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our latest fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company is not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company may be a party to various suits, claims and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company, these suits, claims and complaints should not result in final judgments or settlements that, in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
The Company faces a number of uncertainties and risks that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company's control. For a detailed discussion of the risks that affect our business, please refer to Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes from the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and our subsequent Quarterly Reports, with the exception of the additional Risk Factors noted below.
Restrictions in our credit facilities may limit our business and financial activities, including our ability to obtain additional capital in the future.
In December 2021, we entered into a secured $130 million Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., which provided for a $90 million revolving credit facility and a $40 million term loan facility. This Credit Agreement contains covenants imposing various restrictions on our business and financial activities. These restrictions may affect our ability to operate our business and undertake certain financial activities and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business or financial opportunities as they arise. The restrictions these covenants place on us include limitations on our ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make investments, dissolve or merge or consolidate with or into another entity, dispose of certain property, and make restricted payments. The Credit Agreement also requires us to meet certain financial ratios, including a minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio and a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA ratio. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default under the Credit Agreement, which could have a material adverse impact to our business, financial condition and results of operation.
We are also exposed to the risk of increasing interest rates as our revolving credit and term loan facilities are both at a variable interest rate. Material changes in interest rates could result in higher interest expense and related payments for us. For example, at December 31, 2021, the applicable interest rate under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was approximately 1.58% and at September 30, 2022, the interest rate thereunder was approximately 4.6%.
Adverse economic or market conditions may harm our business.
Worsening economic conditions, including inflation, increasing interest rates, decreasing economic activity, volatility in equity and credit markets or other changes in the economic environment, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. For example, we depend on suppliers for the raw materials used in our products, and the suppliers of these raw materials may seek to raise prices in the current inflationary economic environment. If our costs increase and we are unable to successfully pass along those increased costs to our customers, our revenue and/or operating profitability may be adversely affected. To the extent we are able to pass along such increased costs to our customers, such pass-through costs could negatively impair our relationships with our customers.
