Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In Thousands, Except Per Share Data)

(unaudited)

Note 1. Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of NN, Inc. have not been audited, except that the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, these financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly state the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, our financial position at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 on a basis consistent with our audited financial statements. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair statement of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “NN”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us” mean NN, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These unaudited, condensed and consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2014. The results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2014 or any other future periods.

Note 2. Acquisitions

Autocam

On August 29, 2014, we completed our merger with Autocam Corporation (“Autocam”), for $256,837 in cash and $31,717 in NN stock. Additionally, we assumed $29,160 in Autocam debt and capital lease obligations. Autocam is a global leader in the engineering, manufacture and assembly of highly complex, system critical components for fuel systems, engines and transmission, power steering and electric motors. With the completion of the transaction, NN becomes one of the top global manufacturers in the precision metal components space. Additionally, this acquisition will leverage NN’s and Autocam’s complementary core strengths and values and will position our Precision Metal Components business segment to outgrow its end markets by taking advantage of global market trends in fuel efficient technologies such as gasoline direct injection systems, high-pressure diesel injection systems and variable valve timing.

The funding of the cash portion of the purchase price and acquisition costs was provided primarily from borrowings, including a $350,000 term loan entered into concurrent with the acquisition. (See Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

The combination of income, market, and cost approaches were used for the preliminary valuation where appropriate, depending on the asset or liability being valued. Valuation inputs in these models and analyses gave consideration to market participant assumptions. Acquired intangible assets are primarily customer relationships and trade names. The Autocam acquisition occurred late in the third quarter, and NN is still in the process of valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to change. Accordingly, adjustments may be made to the values of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the valuation date. The final determination of the purchase price allocation is anticipated to be completed as soon as practicable and most likely by the filing of our 2014 annual report on Form 10-K in March 2015.

In connection with the purchase, we recorded goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated preliminary fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. The goodwill is attributed primarily to Autocam as a going concern and the fair value of expected cost synergies and revenues growth from combining the NN and Autocam businesses. The going concern element represents the ability to earn a higher return on the combined assembled collection of assets and businesses of Autocam than if those assets and businesses were to be acquired and managed separately. Other relevant elements of goodwill are the benefits of access to certain markets and the assembled work force. None of the goodwill is expected to be deducted for tax purposes.

Property, plant and equipment acquired primarily included machinery and equipment for use in manufacturing operations. Additionally, a number of manufacturing sites and related facilities, land and leased manufacturing sites that include leasehold improvements were acquired. Property, plant and equipment has been preliminarily valued using the cost approach supported where available by observable market data which includes consideration of obsolescence. Intangible assets have been preliminarily valued using the relief from royalty and multi-period excess earnings methods, both forms of the income approach supported by observable market data.

Related to the acquisition of Autocam, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, we recognized $5,316 and $5,857, respectively, in transaction costs. During the third quarter and the first nine months of 2014, we expensed $2,974 of deferred financing costs and make whole interest payments related to the acquisition. Transaction costs were expensed as incurred and are included in the “Acquisition related costs excluded from selling, general and administrative expenses” line item and deferred financing costs are included in the interest expense line items in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. As required by purchase accounting, the acquired inventories were recorded at

their preliminary estimated fair value. These inventories were sold in the third quarter 2014 resulting in a one-time $1,992 increase in cost of sales. Beginning September 1, 2014, the consolidated results of operations of NN include the results of the acquired Autocam businesses. Since the date of the acquisition, sales revenue of $21,639 and net income of $1,382 (excluding the non-recurring $1,274 for the one-time increase in cost of goods sold, net of tax) has been included in NN’s financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma financial results for three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 combine the consolidated results of NN and Autocam giving effect to the acquisition of Autocam as if it had been completed on January 1, 2013, the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period presented. The unaudited pro forma financial results presented below do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of the acquisition. This unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of future operations or results had the acquisition been completed as of January 1, 2013.

The unaudited pro forma financial results include certain adjustments for additional depreciation and amortization expense based upon the preliminary fair value step-up and estimated useful lives of Autocam depreciable fixed assets and definite-life amortizable assets acquired in the transaction. The unaudited pro forma results also include adjustments to net interest expense and early debt extinguishment costs related to the transaction. The provision for income taxes has also been adjusted for all periods, based upon the foregoing adjustments to historical results.

The pro forma net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes certain items, such as financing, integration, and transaction costs historically recorded by NN and Autocam directly attributable to the acquisition, which will not have an ongoing impact. These items include transaction, integration, and financing related costs incurred by NN and Autocam of $8,509 and $8,933, net of tax, and $3,010 and $3,125, net of tax, respectively during third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, and reported in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 pro forma net income above.

Other Acquisitions

We made three other acquisitions during the first nine months of 2014 that aggregated to $20,995 in net assets acquired. Related to the acquisitions, we incurred transactions costs of $1,179 from third parties during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which were expensed as incurred in acquisition related costs excluded from selling, general and administrative within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The accounting for these business combinations is based on currently available information and is considered preliminary. We are in the process of finalizing fair market valuations of all the net assets acquired. The final determination of the purchase price allocation is anticipated to be completed as soon as practicable and most likely by the filing of our 2014 annual report on Form 10-K in March 2015. Any adjustments to such allocations are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

The intangible assets subject to amortization are for customer contracts and trade names totaling $2,705 and have weighted average useful lives of approximately 10 years. Goodwill of $2,038 arising from the acquisitions is attributable primarily to the assembled workforce of RFK and strategic market opportunities that are expected to arise from the acquisition of RFK and Chelsea.

In the following paragraphs we will provide a brief description of the businesses acquired, reasons for the acquisition and relevant financial information about each business.

Chelsea Grinding (Chelsea)

On July 15, 2014, we purchased the assets of Chelsea Grinding for $3,100 in cash. Chelsea is a hydraulic component manufacturer. We acquired Chelsea to achieve access to the adjacent hydraulic component market. Chelsea, which has been completely integrated into our Erwin Plant of the Metal Bearing Components Segment, has contributed revenues of approximately $500 from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2014.

RFK Valjcici d. d. Konjic (“RFK”)

On June 20, 2014, we acquired 79.2% of the outstanding shares of RFK Valjcici d. d. Konjic (“RFK”) for $9,756 in cash. RFK is a manufacturer of tapered rollers with operations in Konjic, Bosnia & Herzegovina. Its products, while complementary to NN’s existing roller bearing components, will broaden our product offering and allow penetration into adjacent markets. NN acquired up to 99.7% of the shares of RFK during the third quarter of 2014 for an additional $2,528 in cash. RFK has contributed revenues and net income of $2,564 and $88, respectively, from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2014. RFK was a listed company on the Sarajevo Stock Exchange founded in 1984 and is expected to have sales of approximately $12.0 million in 2014. RFK currently exports all of its products, predominately to customers serving the European truck, industrial vehicle and railway markets. NN will continue operations at the existing facilities in Bosnia & Herzegovina and will roll up the operations under our Metal Bearing Components Segment. In addition, we have reported non-controlling interest of $38 for RFK representing the fair value of the 0.30% of the shares outstanding we do not own as of September 30, 2014.

VS Assets Purchase

On January 30, 2014, we purchased the majority of the operating assets of V-S Industries, V-S Precision, LLC and V-S Precision SA de DV (collectively referred to as “VS”) from the secured creditors of V-S Industries for $5,580 in cash and assumed certain liabilities totaling $2,968. VS has contributed revenues and net loss of approximately $10,518 and $(957), including the integration costs, respectively, from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2014.

VS is a precision metal components manufacturer that supplies customers in a variety of industries including electric motors, HVAC, power tools, automotive and medical. The acquisition of VS will provide us with a complementary, but broader product offering and will allow penetration into adjacent markets. VS has two locations in Wheeling, Illinois and Juarez, Mexico and will roll up under the Precision Metal Components Segment.

Note 3. Inventories

Inventories are comprised of the following:

 

     September 30,      December 31,  
     2014      2013  

Raw materials

   $ 35,551       $ 15,448   

Work in process

     19,968         9,672   

Finished goods

     31,402         29,410   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
   $ 86,921       $ 54,530   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Inventories on consignment at customer locations as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 totaled $5,461 and $4,735, respectively.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost method. The inventory valuations above were developed using normalized production capacities for each of our manufacturing locations. Any costs from abnormal excess capacity or under-utilization of fixed production overheads are expensed in the period incurred and are not included as a component of inventory valuation.

Note 4. Net Income Per Share

The difference between the basic weighted average shares outstanding and the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for all periods reported are the effect of dilutive stock options calculated using the treasury stock method. The dilutive shares for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 were 371. For the three month period ended September 30, 2014, 432 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect would be antidilutive. The dilutive shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 were 148 and 55, respectively. There were no anti-dilutive options excluded from the dilutive shares outstanding for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014. Excluded from the dilutive shares outstanding for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 were 1,390 of anti-dilutive options which had exercise prices ranging from $8.54 to $14.13.

Note 5. Segment Information

The segment information and the accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements entitled “Segment Information” and “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices,” respectively, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. During the third quarter of 2014, we amended the metric we use to evaluate segment performance from net income (loss) to income from operations. The 2013 segment information has been changed to conform to this new presentation. Additionally, Autocam was added to the Precision Metal Components segment during the third quarter of 2014. We account for inter-segment sales and transfers at current market prices. We did not have any significant inter-segment transactions during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Note 6. Post-Employment Benefit Liabilities

We provide certain post-employment benefits to employees at our Pinerolo and Veenendaal Plants that are either required by law or are local labor practice. These plans are described below.

In accordance with Italian law, we have an unfunded severance plan covering our Pinerolo Plant employees under which all employees at that location are entitled to receive severance indemnities upon termination of their employment.

We have certain plans that cover our Veenendaal Plant employees that provide awards for employees who achieve 25 or 40 years of service and awards for employees upon retirement. The plans are unfunded and the benefits are based on years of service and rate of compensation at the time the award is paid.

The amounts shown in the table below represent the combined actual liabilities at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, reported as a component of other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On August 29, 2014, concurrent with the Autocam acquisition, we entered into two new credit facilities consisting of a $350 million term loan facility and a $100 million asset backed revolver (“ABL”). These new facilities were utilized to fund the Autocam acquisition and to provide for short-term cash flow needs. Additionally, these new facilities replaced the $100 million revolving credit facility and the $20 million fixed rate agreement both of which were paid off with proceeds from the term loan. $1,368 in net capitalized loan origination costs related to the $100 million facility was written off as of August 29, 2014. $30 in net capitalized loan origination costs related to the $20 million fixed rate agreements was also written off as of August 29, 2014.

The $350,000 term loan revolving credit facility may be expanded upon our request with approval of the lenders by up to $50,000 under the same terms and conditions. The term loan has a seven year maturity with a 5% per annum repayment. The term loan agreement is a covenant lite agreement with no financial covenants. The loan agreement does contain customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens on our assets, sales or transfers of assets, investments, issuance of equity securities, and merger, acquisition and other fundamental changes in our business including a “material adverse change” clause, which if triggered would give the lenders the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Costs associated with entering into the revolving credit facility were capitalized and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the facility. As of September 30, 2014, $8,243 of net capitalized loan origination costs related to the term loan credit facility were recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet within other non-current assets.

The $100,000 ABL may be expanded upon our request with approval of the lenders by up to $50,000 under the same terms and conditions. The ABL has a five year maturity and has one springing financial covenant in the event our availability on the ABL is less than $8,000. The ABL contains customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens on our assets, sales or transfers of assets, investments, issuance of equity securities, and mergers, acquisitions and other fundamental changes in our business including a “material adverse change” clause, which if triggered would give the lenders the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. The facility has a swing line feature to meet short term cash flow needs. Any borrowings under this swing line are considered short term. We incurred costs as a result of issuing the ABL which have been recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet within other non-current assets and are being amortized over the term of the notes. The unamortized balance at September 30, 2014 was $1,020.

We believe the book values of the above credit facilities approximate their fair values given the interest rates are variable and we entered into these facilities very close to the quarter ended September 30, 2014, at the then market rates for a company with our credit profile.

As part of the merger with Autocam, NN assumed certain foreign credit facilities. These facilities relate to local borrowings in France, Brazil and China. These facilities are with financial institutions in the countries in which foreign plants operate and are meant to fund working capital and equipment purchases in those countries. Below is a description of the credit facilities.

In 2008, Autocam filed “Procedure de Sauvegarde” (“Safeguard”) on behalf of each of their French subsidiaries, Autocam France, SARL and Bouverat Industries, SAS (“Bouverat”). They reached agreement with their creditors with claims subject to Safeguard protection in 2009. Provisions of the agreements allowed, at each creditor’s option, for the payment of a portion of the obligation in January 2010, or the entire obligation over a 10-year period. The liabilities carry a zero percent interest rate and are being paid annually until 2019. Amounts due as of September 30, 2014, to those creditors opting to be paid over a 10-year period totaled $2,935 and are included in Current Maturities of Long-Term debt ($259) and long-term debt excluding current maturities of long-term debt ($2,676).

The Brazilian lines of credit include facilities with certain Brazilian banks to funding working capital and equipment purchases for the Brazilian plants of Autocam. The lines of credit have interest rates of 2.5% to 13.3%. The Chinese line of credit is a working capital line of credit with a Chinese bank with an interest rate of 4.95%.

Note 8. Obligations under capital lease

With the acquisition of Autocam, we assumed capital lease obligations used by Autocam to purchase fixed assets at US and foreign operations. The September 30, 2014 balance of those leases assumed was $17,696 of which $5,356 was current and $12,340 was long term. The leases range in terms from 2 years to 5 years and have interest rates from 3.0% to 5% per annum.

The goodwill balance is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter and between annual tests if a triggering event occurs. As of September 30, 2014, there are no indications of impairment at the reporting units with a goodwill balance.

The goodwill acquired in acquisition during 2014 within the Metal Bearing Components segment was acquired with the acquisitions of RFK and Chelsea (see Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

The goodwill acquired in acquisition during 2014 within the Precision Metal Components segment was acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2014 with the acquisition of Autocam (see Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Note 10. Intangible Assets, Net

The Precision Metal Components Segment has an indefinite lived intangible asset not subject to amortization of $900 related to the value of the trade names of Whirlaway. The intangible asset balance is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter and between annual tests if a triggering event occurs. There are no indicators of impairment for the intangible asset as of September 30, 2014.

With the Autocam acquisition the Precision Metal Components Segment acquired a customer contract intangible asset of $46,200, a trade name intangible asset of $4,100, a developed technology intangible asset of $798. The intangible assets have preliminary estimated useful lives of twelve years, fifteen years and five years, respectively and are subject to amortization of approximately $4,283 a year. (See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

The Metal Bearing Components Segment acquired two customer contract intangible assets related to the acquisition of RKF and Chelsea and a trade name intangible asset related to the acquisition of RFK with an aggregate estimated fair value of $2,630. These intangible assets have weighted average useful lives of 10 years and are subject to amortization of $263 per year. (See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Note 11. Shared-Based Compensation

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, approximately $661 and $1,948 in 2014 and $573 and $1,666 in 2013, respectively, of compensation expense was recognized in selling, general and administrative expense for all share-based awards. During the nine month period

ended September 30, 2014, there were 98 share awards and 98 options awards to non-executive directors, officers and certain other key employees. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, there were 95 share awards and 354 options awards to non-executive directors, officers and certain other key employees.

The restricted shares granted during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, vest pro-rata over three years. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred $951 and $606, respectively, in expense related to restricted stock. The fair value of the shares issued was determined by using the grant date closing price of our common stock.

We incurred $997 and $1,060 of stock option expense in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fair value of our options cannot be determined by market value, as our options are not traded in an open market. Accordingly, the Black Scholes financial pricing model is utilized to estimate the fair value.

Note 12. Provision for Income Taxes

For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, our effective tax rates were 40% and 34%, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 34% and our effective tax rate was due to the impact of non-deductible merger and acquisition expenses increasing the tax rate 12% during 2014. The non-deductible merger costs were partially offset by non-U.S. based earnings being taxed at lower rates reducing the effective rate 6%.

As of September 30, 2014, we do not foresee any significant changes to our unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

All legal proceedings, with the exception of the bankruptcy of our German subsidiary discussed below, are of an ordinary and routine nature and are incidental to our operations. Management believes that such proceedings should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. In making that determination, we analyze the facts and circumstances of each case at least quarterly in consultation with our attorneys and determine a range of reasonably possible outcomes. The procedures performed include reviewing attorney and plaintiff correspondence, reviewing any filings made and discussing the facts of the case with local management and legal counsel. We have recognized loss contingencies of approximately $0 and $200 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which we believe are adequate to cover all probable liabilities to be incurred by all of the cases in the aggregate.

As discussed more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 14, 2014, the ultimate impact on

Note 14. Investment in Non-Consolidated Joint Venture

As part of the Autocam acquisition, we acquired a 49% investment in a joint venture with an unrelated entity called Wuxi Weifu Autocam Precision Machinery Company, Ltd. (“JV”), a Chinese company located in the city of Wuxi, China. As part of the purchase price allocation, the joint venture investment has been stated at a preliminary fair value of $35,595 determined by a market based multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and a discounted cash flows analysis. The JV is jointly controlled and managed and is being accounted for under the equity method.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013.

The three months ended September 30, 2014, was significantly impacted by certain non-recurring costs related to the Autocam acquisition and to a lesser extent the three other acquisitions completed in 2014. The net after tax impact of these costs was $9,222. The following is a summary of these costs:

 

$ 5,651

   Reported in acquisition related costs excluded from selling, general and administrative are third party legal, accounting, valuation consulting and investment banking advisory fees.

We have provided a reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure used by management) and income from operations to adjusted income from operations (a non-GAAP measure used by management) to provide supplementary information about the impacts of acquisition related expenses. We believe that the presentation of adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income provides useful information to investors in assessing our results of operations and potential future results in light of the high level of acquisition expenses incurred during the period. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP income from operations or net income. You should not consider adjusted income from operations or adjusted net income in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Net Sales. Net sales increased during the third quarter of 2014 from the third quarter of 2013 principally due to sales from the four companies acquired in 2014. The third quarter of 2014 includes one month of Autocam, three months of RFK and VS, and two months of Chelsea. Additionally, sales increased from greater demand for our products in the Asian and North American automotive markets. The growth with our customers was due to overall growth in automotive production in those geographic regions and from continued improvements in market share with certain customers.

Cost of Products Sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below). Cost of products sold was primarily impacted by the addition of product costs added with the four companies acquired during 2014 as discussed above. Additionally, costs of products sold increased from acquisition related costs incurred from the step-up in inventory valuation and integration costs. Additionally, the total was impacted by increased production costs at those units that experienced higher sales volumes, as discussed above. Partially offsetting the increase were benefits from specific continuous improvement projects undertaken subsequent to the third quarter of 2013.

Selling, General and Administrative. The majority of the increase was due to the selling, general and administrative costs brought over from the four companies acquired in 2014. Additionally, spending has increased as we have invested in certain key functional positions and research and development costs related to the execution of our strategic plans for growth.

Acquisition related costs excluded from selling, general and administrative. These costs are third party legal, accounting, valuation consulting and investment banking advisory fees incurred directly related to the Autocam acquisition and the three other acquisitions to a lesser extent.

Depreciation and Amortization. The increase was due to adding depreciation and amortization from the four acquisitions closed during 2014 including the related step-ups of certain property, plant and equipment to fair value.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $3.0 million due the acquisition related expenses from writing off debt issuance costs and make whole interest payments related to our former credit facilities as part of the Autocam acquisition. Additionally, interest on the $350 million in debt NN undertook to complete the Autocam acquisition equated to $1.8 million for the one month it was outstanding. Additionally, the amortization of debt issuance costs increased by $0.2 million for the one month the new credit facility was outstanding. These new interest costs compared to the historical NN costs of $0.2 million per month.

Net sales increased during the third quarter of 2014 from the third quarter of 2013 principally due to the sales from the two businesses the segment acquired in 2014. Additionally, sales increased from greater demand for our products in the Asian and North American automotive markets and market share gains with our customers. The reduction in price was to certain customers and certain products based on long-term agreements.

The main driver of the decreased segment income was price/mix negatively impacting income from operations by $0.6 million. Partially offsetting the unfavorable impacts was $0.6 million incremental income from the increased sales volumes.

Income from operations of the two acquired companies added $2.4 million to segment income from operations. Additionally, the segment income from operations increased due to $0.7 million in incremental profit of increased sales volumes and $0.3 million in benefits from continuous improvement projects.

Net Sales. Net sales increased during the first nine months of 2014 from the first nine months of 2013 principally due to sales from the four companies acquired in 2014. The nine months of 2014 includes one month of Autocam, three months of RFK, two months of Chelsea, and eight months of VS. Additionally, net sales increased due to greater demand for our products in the European, North American and Asian automotive markets. The growth with our customers over the prior year was generally consistent with the overall growth in automotive production in those geographic regions. Additionally, we have continued to benefit from improved market share with certain customers and adjacent market expansion.

The reduction in price and raw material pass-through (when compared with the first nine months of 2013) was driven mainly by lower levels of material inflation in our businesses which led to lower pass-through to our customers and due to contractual price decreases for certain long-term sales programs. The unfavorable sales impact related to mix was due to experiencing higher volumes of certain products that have lower prices than our average product assortment sold during the comparable period. The majority of the unfavorable mix occurred in the first six months of 2014.

Cost of Products Sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below). Cost of products sold was primarily impacted by the addition of production costs added with the four companies acquired in 2014 as discussed above. Additionally, we experienced increased production costs at those units with higher sales volumes, as discussed above. Partially offsetting the increase in cost of products sold were benefits from specific continuous improvement projects undertaken subsequent to the first nine months of 2013.

Selling, General and Administrative. The majority of the increase was due to the selling, general and administrative costs brought over from the four companies acquired in 2014. Additionally, spending has increased as we have invested in certain key functional positions and research and development costs related to the execution of our strategic plans for growth.

Acquisition related costs excluded from selling, general and administrative. These costs are third party legal, accounting, valuation consulting and investment banking advisory fees incurred directly related to the Autocam acquisition and the three other acquisitions to a lesser extent.

Depreciation and Amortization. The increase was due to adding depreciation and amortization from the four acquisitions closed during 2014 including the related step-ups of certain property, plant and equipment to fair value.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $3.0 million due the acquisition related expenses from writing off debt issuance costs and make whole interest payments related to our former credit facilities as part of the Autocam acquisition. Additionally, interest on the $350 million in debt NN undertook to complete the Autocam acquisition equated to $1.8 million for the one month it was outstanding. Additionally, the amortization of debt issuance costs increased by $0.2 million for the one month the new credit facility was outstanding. These new interest costs compared to the historical NN costs of $0.2 million per month.

Net sales increased during the first nine months of 2014 from the first nine months of 2013 principally due to increased sales volumes resulting from greater demand for our products in the European, North American and Asian automotive markets and from better overall market penetration with our customers. The reduction in price and raw material pass-through was driven mainly by lower levels of material inflation in our businesses which led to lower pass-through to our customers. The unfavorable sales impact related to mix was due to certain products sold during the first nine months of 2014 being lower priced than our average product assortment sold during the comparative period. Finally, the segment benefited from the additional sales from two acquired units RFK (for three months) and Chelsea (for two months).

Increased sales volumes added $3.8 million in incremental income from operations and the two new acquired businesses added $0.2 million in income from operations.

The increased sales in during 2014 were due to sales added with the acquisitions of Autocam (one month of sales) and VS (eight months of sales). Additionally, sales increased due to greater demand with certain customers in the North American automotive market generally in line with the overall growth in automotive production and greater demand with our HVAC customer.

The main driver of the increased segment income from operations was income from operations of the two acquired companies which added $1.2 million. The segment income from operations was further impacted by $1.3 million in incremental income from increased sales volumes and $1.0 million in income from continuous improvement projects and operational improvement.

Benefits from continuous improvement projects had a favorable $0.7 million impact on income from operations more than offsetting the unfavorable volume effects.

Changes in Financial Condition

From December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014, our total assets increased $450.7 million and our current assets increased $121.1 million. The vast majority of these increases were due to total assets and current assets acquired of $426.9 million and $94.2 million, respectively, and the related preliminary fair value step-ups for the four acquisitions undertaken in 2014. Foreign exchange translation impacted the balance sheet in comparing changes in account balances from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014 by decreasing total assets $11.9 million and current assets $5.8 million.

Beyond acquisition and foreign exchange effects, the accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2014, was higher due to a 13% increase in sales volume experienced in September/August of 2014 compared with sales levels in December/November of 2013. The day’s sales outstanding at September 30, 2014 were up slightly from the day’s sales outstanding at December 31, 2013 due to higher sales volumes with certain customers that have extended credit terms. Additionally, other non-current assets increased by $9.4 million due to debt issuance cost incurred related to our new credit facilities entered into concurrent with the Autocam acquisition.

From December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014, our total liabilities increased $423.2 million. The majority of the increase was from the $308.6 million increase in long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt primarily due to the four acquisitions in 2014 and $117.5 million of liabilities assume related to the 4 acquisitions.

Working capital, which consists principally of accounts receivable and inventories offset by accounts payable and current maturities of long-term debt, was $119.7 million at September 30, 2014 as compared to $56.3 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in working capital was due primarily to acquiring $48.5 million in net working capital in the four acquisition completed in 2014. The remainder of the increase was due primarily to the increase in accounts receivable discussed above.

Cash provided by operations was $1.5 million for the first nine months of 2014 compared with cash provided by operations of $25.7 million for the same period in 2013. The unfavorable variance was principally due the accounts receivable increase in 2014 versus 2013 due to higher overall sales levels in 2014, as discussed above. Additionally, we spent $9.8 million on acquisition related expenses during 2014.

Cash used by investing activities was $271.8 million for the first nine months of 2014 compared with cash used by investing activities of $9.0 million for the same period in 2013. The difference was primarily due to the $259.5 million spent on acquiring Autocam, VS, Chelsea and RFK.

Cash provided by financing activities was $293.9 million for the first nine months of 2014, compared with cash used by financing activities of $31.0 million for the same period in 2013. The difference was primarily related to using debt to fund the acquisitions of Autocam, VS, Chelsea and RFK. In the first half of 2013, we reduced our cash balances to fund working capital expansion and pay down our debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Amounts outstanding under our $350.0 million term loan facility and our $100.0 million asset backed revolver as of September 30, 2014 were $350.0 million and $0.0 million respectively. As of September 30, 2014, we can borrow up to $50 million under our asset backed revolver subject to limitations based on our U.S. borrowing base calculation which is calculated based on our accounts receivable and inventory. The $50 million of availability is net of $1.5 million of outstanding letters of credit at September 30, 2014, which are considered as usage of the facility. We expect to shortly add an additional $15 million of availability on our ABL with the addition of our foreign borrowing base. We are investigating means to increase our borrowing base such as utilizing credit insurance on our foreign receivables. The only financial covenant on our new debt agreement is a springing fixed charge coverage covenant if our availability under the asset backed revolver is less than $8.0 million.

Our new $350.0 million term loan facility requires us to pay 5% of the outstanding balance for the next seven years against the principal of the note. At September 30, 2014, the current balance would equate to a $17.5 million payment. Additionally, using the September 30, 2014 balance the annual interest payments on the $350.0 million term loan would be $21.0 million. We believe that funds generated from operations of the combined NN and Autocam will provide sufficient cash flow to service these required debt payments.

Many of our locations use the Euro as their functional currency. In 2014, the fluctuation of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar favorably impacted revenue and net income. As of September 30, 2014, no currency hedges were in place. Changes in value of the U.S. Dollar and/or Euro against foreign currencies could impair our ability to compete with international competitors for foreign as well as domestic sales.

We have made planned capital expenditures totaling $14.8 million as of September 30, 2014. During 2014, we expect to spend up to $23.0 million on capital expenditures, the majority of which relate to new or expanded business. We believe that funds generated from operations and borrowings from our credit facilities will be sufficient to finance our capital expenditures and working capital needs through September 2015. We base this assertion on our current availability for borrowing of up to $50 million and our forecasted positive cash flow from operations for the remainder of 2014 and 2015.

Seasonality and Fluctuation in Quarterly Results

Historically, our net sales in the Metal Bearing Components Segment have been of a seasonal nature due to the fact that a significant portion of our sales are to European customers that have significantly slower production during the month of August.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, including those policies as discussed in Note 1 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements accompanying our Annual Report. There have been no changes to these policies during the three month period ended September 30, 2014.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of our business due to use of certain financial instruments as well as transacting in various foreign currencies. To mitigate the exposure to these market risks, we have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of financial market risks. We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities. At September 30, 2014, we had $350.0 million outstanding under our variable rate revolving credit facilities. See Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. At September 30, 2014, a one-percent increase in the interest rate charged on our outstanding variable rate borrowings would result in interest expense increasing annually by approximately $3.5 million.

Translation of our operating cash flows denominated in foreign currencies is impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates. We did not hold a position in any foreign currency hedging instruments as of September 30, 2014.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Our disclosure controls are designed to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others within our organization. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2014 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

All legal proceedings, with the exception of the bankruptcy of our German subsidiary discussed below, are of an ordinary and routine nature and are incidental to our operations. Management believes that such proceedings should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. In making that determination, we analyze the facts and circumstances of each case at least quarterly in consultation with our attorneys and determine a range of reasonably possible outcomes. The procedures performed include reviewing attorney and plaintiff correspondence, reviewing any filings made and discussing the facts of the case with local management and legal counsel. We have recognized loss contingencies of approximately $0.0 million and $0.2 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which we believe are adequate to cover all probable liabilities to be incurred by all of the cases in the aggregate.

As discussed more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 14, 2014, the ultimate impact on NN of our wholly owned German subsidiary Kugelfertigung Eltmann GbmH (“Eltmann” or “Eltmann Plant”) filing for bankruptcy will depend on the findings of the bankruptcy court. We do not expect any further significant impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the liquidation of this subsidiary.

 

Item 1.A. Risk Factors

Our risk factors are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 under Item 1.A. “Risk Factors.” There have been no material changes to these risk factors since December 31, 2013.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On August 29, 2014, NN issued 1,086,956 shares of NN common stock to John C. Kennedy in connection with the closing of the Autocam transaction and as a portion of the merger consideration payable to Mr. Kennedy. The shares issued to Mr. Kennedy were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in a transaction not involving a public offering.

The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list of stockholders or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section (9) Fixing Record Date for Meetings of Stockholders. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting.

Election of directors at all meetings of the stockholders at which directors are to be elected shall be by ballot, and, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, a plurality of the votes cast thereat shall elect directors. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these By-Laws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the act of the stockholders.

Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by law.

Written notice of the annual meeting stating the place, date and hour of the meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, either personally or by mail, not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting. No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is (a) specified in the notice of the annual meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any authorized committee thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any authorized committee thereof), or (c) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation in accordance with these By-Laws and (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in Article II, Section 13 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in Article II, Section 13.”

2. Article II, Section 12 of the Corporation’s By-Laws be, and it hereby is, amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“Section (12) Action by Written Consent of Stockholders. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than two-thirds of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on such action and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the stockholders of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any stockholder or stockholders that desire to act by written consent must first request that the Board of Directors set a record date for such action by written consent, which record date may precede the date upon which the Board of Directors received the request to set a record date, and which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of the written consent.”

3. A new Section 13 is added to Article II to read as follows:

“Section (13) Stockholder Proposals and Nominations. In order for a stockholder (the “Noticing Stockholder”) to properly bring any item of business or any nomination of any director(s) before an annual meeting of stockholders, the Noticing Stockholder must give


timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation in compliance with the requirements of this Section 13. This Section 13 shall constitute an “advance notice provision” for annual meetings for purposes of Rule 14a-4(c)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

(a) Timing of Notice. To be timely, a Noticing Stockholder’s notice must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the Stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting, or the announcement thereof, commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(b) Form of Notice. To be in proper form, whether in regard to a nominee for election to the Board of Directors or other business, a Noticing Stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must:

(i) Set forth, as to the Noticing Stockholder and, if the Noticing Stockholder holds for the benefit of another, the beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, the following information together with a representation as to the accuracy of the information:

(A) the name and address of the Noticing Stockholder as they appear on the Corporation’s books and, if the Noticing Stockholder holds for the benefit of another, the name and address of such beneficial owner (collectively referred to herein as “Holder”),

(B) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and/or of record,

(C) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, whether or not the instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of


capital stock of the Corporation or otherwise (a “Derivative Instrument”) that is directly or indirectly owned beneficially by the Holder and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation,

(D) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which the Holder has a right to vote or has granted a right to vote any shares of any security of the Corporation,

(E) any short interest in any security of the Corporation (for purposes of these By-Laws a person shall be deemed to have a short interest in a security if the Holder directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value of the subject security),

(F) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by the Holder that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation,

(G) any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership or limited liability company or similar entity in which the Holder is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner, is the manager, managing member or directly or indirectly beneficially owns an interest in the manager or managing member of a limited liability company or similar entity,

(H) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that the Holder is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any,

(I) any arrangements, rights, or other interests described in Sections 13(b)(i)(C)-(H) held by members of such Holder’s immediate family sharing the same household,

(J) any other information relating to the Holder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the

election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and


(K) any other information as reasonably requested by the Corporation.

Such information shall be provided as of the date of the notice and shall be supplemented by the Holder not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date.

(ii) If the notice relates to any business other than a nomination of a director or directors that the Noticing Stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, set forth:

(A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, and any material interest of the Noticing Stockholder, in such business, and

(B) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings, direct and indirect, between the Noticing Stockholder, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by the Noticing Stockholder.

(iii) If the notice relates to a nomination of a director or directors, set forth, as to each person whom the Noticing Stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection to the Board of Directors:

(A) all information relating to the Noticing Stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected, and

(B) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements, and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among the Noticing Stockholder and respective affiliates and associates, or


others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K if the Noticing Stockholder making the nomination or on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of Item 404 and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant.

(iv) Set forth, a representation that the Noticing Stockholder intends to vote or cause to be voted such stock at the meeting and intends to appear in person or by a representative at the meeting to nominate the person or propose the business specified in the notice.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 13(a) to the contrary, if the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by these By-Laws shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which the public announcement naming all nominees or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors is first made by the Corporation.

(d) For purposes of these By-Laws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of these By-Laws, a Noticing Stockholder also shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in these By-Laws; provided, however, that any references in these By-Laws to the Exchange Act or the rules thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any business to be considered.

(f) Nothing in these By-Laws shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. Notice of stockholder proposals that are, or that the Noticing Stockholder intends to be, governed by Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act are not governed by these By-Laws.”


4. A new Section 14 is added to Article II to read as follows:

“Section (14) Compliance Determinations for Director Nominations and Stockholder Proposals. Only those persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these By-Laws shall be eligible to serve as directors. Only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in these By-Laws. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or these By-Laws, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in compliance with the procedures set forth in these By-Laws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these By-Laws, to declare that such proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.”
