Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Unless indicated otherwise, the terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Synalloy Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Note 1: Basis of Presentation
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01.
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Synalloy Corporation (the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "Annual Report"). The financial results for the interim periods may not be indicative of the financial results for the entire year.
COVID-19 Update
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, aspects of the Company's business continued to be affected by macroeconomic factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically with production at our plants and within our supply chain. The nature of the situation is dynamic and the full extent of any future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operational and financial performance is currently uncertain and will depend on many factors outside of the Company's control.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards - Adopted
On September 30, 2020, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2019-12 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." This ASU removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences as well as adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. The most significant impact to the Company is the removal of a limit on the tax benefit recognized on pre-tax losses in interim periods.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards - Not Yet Adopted
Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption, other than those stated above, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
Note 2: Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to our customers or when a service is rendered, in an amount that reflects the consideration we are to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
The following table presents the Company's revenues, disaggregated by product group. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from contracts with customers where performance obligations are satisfied at a point-in-time.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, revenue for each performance obligation is based on its stand-alone selling price and revenue is recognized as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company generally determines stand-alone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers using the adjusted market assessment approach or expected cost plus margin.
Note 3: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value, we use a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, probability weighted models, and Monte Carlo simulations.
The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, derivative instruments, accounts payable, earn-out liabilities, a revolving line of credit, a term loan, and equity securities investments.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances where the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.
Level 3: Contingent consideration (earn-out) liabilities
The fair value of contingent consideration ("earn-out") liabilities resulting from the 2017 MUSA-Stainless acquisition, 2018 MUSA-Galvanized acquisition, and 2019 American Stainless acquisition are classified as Level 3. Each quarter-end, the Company re-evaluates its assumptions for all earn-out liabilities and adjusts to reflect the updated fair values. Changes in the estimated fair value of the earn-out liabilities are reflected in operating income in the periods in which they are identified. Changes in the fair value of the earn-out liabilities will impact and cause volatility in the Company's operating results. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's earn-out liabilities are the discount rate, timing of the estimated payouts, and future revenue projections. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs would not have resulted in a material difference in the fair value measurement of the earn-out liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The following table presents a summary of changes in fair value of the Company's Level 3 earn-out liabilities measured on a recurring basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

Balance September 30, 2021 $ —  $ 1,110  $ 1,139  $ 2,249 
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had no unrealized gains or losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value instruments.
Quantitative Information about Significant Unobservable Inputs Used in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurement of our contingent consideration (earn-out) liabilities as of September 30, 2021:
Instrument Fair Value
September 30, 2021
Principal Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Inputs Range Weighted
Average
Contingent consideration (earn-out) liabilities $2,249 Probability Weighted Expected Return Discount rate - 5%
Timing of estimated payouts 2021 - 2022 -
Future revenue projections
$6.4M - $9.5M
$8.3M
The weighted average discount rate was calculated by applying an equal weighting to each contingent consideration's (earn-out liabilities) discount rate. The weighted average future revenue projection was calculated by applying an equal weighting of probabilities to each forecasted scenario within the valuation models to determine the probability weighted sales applicable to the contingent consideration (earn-out liabilities).
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had no significant measurements of assets or liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company's only significant measurements of assets or liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition were certain long-lived assets. The Company does not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value of these assets; rather, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to its fair value when the Company determines that impairment has occurred.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company determined that technology associated with certain long lived assets within the Specialty Chemicals Segment was obsolete and, as a result, recognized a non-cash, pre-tax asset impairment charge of $0.2 million.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For short-term instruments, other than those required to be reported at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis and for which additional disclosures are included above, management concluded the historical carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization. Therefore, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and the Company's revolving line of credit, which is based on a variable interest rate, approximate their fair values.

Deferred Charges
Deferred charges represent debt issuance costs and are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method over a period of four years.
On January 15, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a new Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with BMO Harris Bank, N.A ("BMO") providing the Company with a new four-year revolving credit facility and replacing the Company's previous asset based revolving line of credit and term loan with Truist Bank ("Truist"). The Company accounted for this refinance as a debt extinguishment and, as a result, $0.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Company's previously existing bank debt were written off as a loss on extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. See Note 7 for additional information on the Company's new Credit Agreement.
The balance of deferred charges subject to amortization are as follows:
(in thousands) September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020

—  11,458 
Current portion of long-term debt 1,750  875 
Total long-term debt $ 48,963  $ 61,370 
On January 15, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a new Credit Agreement with BMO. The new Credit Agreement provides the Company with a new four-year revolving credit facility with up to $150.0 million of borrowing capacity (the "Facility"). The Facility refinances and replaces the Company's previous $100.0 million asset based revolving line of credit with Truist, which was scheduled to mature on December 20, 2021, and the remaining portion of the Company's five-year $20 million term loan with Truist, which was scheduled to mature on February 1, 2024.
The initial borrowing capacity under the Facility totals $110.0 million consisting of a $105.0 million revolving line of credit and a $5.0 million delayed draw term loan. The revolving line of credit includes a $17.5 million machinery and equipment sub-limit which requires quarterly payments of $0.4 million with a balloon payment due upon maturity of the Facility in January 2025.
Availability under the Credit Agreement is based on eligible accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. Amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit portion of the Facility currently bear interest, at the Company's option, at (a) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.50%, or (b) LIBOR plus 1.50%. Amounts outstanding under the delayed draw term loan portion of the Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.65%. The Facility also provides an unused commitment fee based on the daily used portion of the Facility. The weighted average interest rate per annum was 2.26% as of September 30, 2021.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company was required to pledge all of its tangible and intangible properties, including the stock and membership interests of its subsidiaries. The Facility contains covenants requiring the maintenance of a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio if excess availability falls below the greater of (i) $7.5 million and (ii) 10% of the revolving credit facility (currently $10.5 million). As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $56.0 million of remaining available capacity under the Facility.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations for years before 2017 or state examinations for years before 2017. During the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, the Company did not identify nor reserve for any unrecognized tax benefits.

Our income tax provision (benefit) and overall effective tax rates for the periods presented are as follows:

The three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 effective tax rates approximated the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%.
The three months ended September 30, 2020 effective tax rate was approximately equal to the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%. The nine months ended September 30, 2020 effective tax rate was higher than the statutory rate of 21.0% due to discrete tax benefits over the costs associated with our public proxy contest, asset impairments at our Palmer facility, goodwill impairment over our Metals Segment and benefits from our stock compensation plan. Additionally, we recognized estimated tax benefits associated with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") which was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act includes various income and payroll tax provisions, notably enabling the Company to carry back net operating losses and recover taxes paid in prior years.

Note 17: Subsequent Events
On October 22, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with DanChem Holdings, LLC. pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of DanChem Technologies, Inc. ("DanChem") for $32.95 million, subject to certain customary adjustments for working capital, transactions expenses, cash and debt. The acquisition closed simultaneously with the execution of the agreement and was funded under the Company's existing credit facility. DanChem is a leading, full-service specialty chemicals contract manufacturing organization boasting the largest fleet of horizontal reactors in the industry and producing a broad array of diversified products.
The Company incurred $0.2 million of related acquisition costs in the third quarter of 2021, which are reflected in "Acquisition costs and other" on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The acquisition qualifies as a business combination and will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.
As a result of the limited time since the acquisition date and the effort required to conform the financial statements to the Company's practices and policies, the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete at the time of this filing. As a result, the Company is unable to provide the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Also, the Company is unable to provide pro-forma revenues and earnings of the combined entity. This information will be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
On November 5, 2021, the Company drew the entirety of the $5.0 million delayed draw term loan under the Facility and immediately applied the proceeds towards its revolving line of credit. The term loan requires quarterly payments of $0.2 million with a balloon payment due upon maturity of the Facility in January 2025.

Business Overview
Synalloy Corporation, a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in 1958 as the successor to a chemical manufacturing business founded in 1945. Its charter is perpetual. The name was changed on July 31, 1967 from Blackman Uhler Industries, Inc. The Company's executive office is located at 4510 Cox Road, Suite 201, Richmond, Virginia 23060. Unless indicated otherwise, the terms "Synalloy", "Company," "we" "us," and "our" refer to Synalloy Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company's business is divided into two reportable operating segments, the Metals Segment and the Specialty Chemicals Segment. The Metals Segment operates as three reporting units, all International Organization for Standardization ("ISO") certified manufacturers, including Welded Pipe & Tube Operations, a unit that includes Bristol Metals, LLC ("BRISMET") and American Stainless Tubing, LLC ("ASTI"), Palmer of Texas Tanks, Inc. ("Palmer"), and Specialty Pipe & Tube, Inc. ("Specialty"). Welded Pipe & Tube Operations manufactures stainless steel, galvanized, ornamental stainless steel pipe and tube, and other alloy pipe and tube. Palmer manufactures liquid storage solutions and separation equipment. As discussed in Note 10, the Company expects to permanently cease operations at the Palmer facility by December 31, 2021. Specialty is a master distributor of seamless carbon pipe and tube. The Metals Segment serves the appliance, architectural, automotive, brewery, chemical, food processing, marine, mining, oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, pulp and paper, water and waste water treatment consuming industries with pipe and tube. The Specialty Chemicals Segment operates as one reporting unit which includes Manufacturers Chemicals, LLC ("MC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manufacturers Soap and Chemical Company ("MS&C"), and CRI Tolling, LLC ("CRI Tolling"). MC manufactures lubricants, surfactants, defoamers, reaction intermediaries and sulfated fats and oils. CRI Tolling provides chemical tolling manufacturing resources to global and regional chemical companies and contracts with other chemical companies to manufacture certain, pre-defined products. The Specialty Chemicals Segment produces specialty chemicals for the chemical, pulp and paper, coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers (CASE), textile, automotive, household, industrial and institutional, water and waste-water treatment, construction, oil and gas and other industries.
COVID-19 Update
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, resulted in changes in consumer behavior and created significant volatility in financial markets and business operations. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, there has been an increasing availability and administration of vaccines against COVID-19 and many of the restrictions on social, business, travel, and government activities that have been in place since the onset of the pandemic have started easing or have been completely lifted in many localities. The Company continues to be open in all locations, adhering to health guidelines provided by our government officials and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with protocols in place to operate safely and safeguard the health of our employees including creating space between work areas for employees, providing ample PPE and cleaning supplies in our offices and manufacturing plants and having formal policies for mitigation in the event of cases of illness.
The Company has seen wide ranging impacts partially attributable to COVID-19 to date, including an adverse effect on our reported results and operations for 2020 and impacts to our supply chain in 2021. However, during the first nine months of 2021, economic conditions have improved, leading to increased demand for our products and positive operating results. The Company has also taken a number of steps to continue to improve its financial position including:
refinancing and expanding its revolving line of credit with a new lender to give the Company more favorable terms and increased liquidity;
making the decision to permanently cease operations at the curtailed Palmer facility by December 31, 2021 and sublease the facility; and
divesting the Company's ownership interest in N845BB Partners, LLC.
We continue to closely monitor the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business. There remains significant uncertainty concerning the magnitude of the impact and the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and we are unable to predict the ultimate impact it may have on our business, future operations, financial position or cash flows. The extent that our operations will continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on future developments, including the development of new strains of COVID-19, the sufficiency and amounts of vaccine availability and distribution and any further actions by government authorities to contain and treat the outbreak. All of which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. See Part I - Item 1A, "Risk Factors," included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our risk factors regarding risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 Comparison
Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2021 were $86.2 million representing an increase of $26.9 million, or 45.4%, compared to net sales for the third quarter of 2020. The increase in net sales for the third quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by a 24.4% increase in average selling prices and a 16.4% increase in pounds shipped.
Consolidated gross profit for the third quarter of 2021 increased 260.5% to $18.0 million, or 20.9% of sales, compared to $5.0 million, or 8.4% of sales in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in dollars and percentage of sales for the third quarter of 2021 were attributable to increased selling prices and a continued favorable surcharge market environment partially offset by increasing raw material and freight costs.
Consolidated selling, general, and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2021 was $6.9 million, or 8.1% of sales, as compared to $6.3 million, or 10.6% of sales, in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in dollars for the third quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by $0.8 million of severance expense related to workforce changes made during the third quarter, a $0.5 million increase in salaries and benefits, $0.1 million increase in taxes and licenses and $0.1 million increase in travel expense partially offset by a $0.6 million reduction in professional fees over the prior year quarter and a $0.5 million increase in gain recognized on the disposal of property, plant and equipment associated with wind down activities at the Palmer facility.
For the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded net income of $8.2 million, or $0.87 diluted earnings per share, compared to a net loss of $10.5 million, or $1.16 diluted loss per share for the third quarter of 2020.
Metals Segment
Net sales for the Metals Segment in the third quarter of 2021 totaled $70.1 million, an increase of $23.0 million, or 49.0%, compared to net sales for the third quarter of 2020. The increase for the third quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by a 19.4% increase in average selling prices and a 24.2% increase in pounds shipped.
The net sales increase (decrease) for the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 is summarized as follows:
($ in thousands) $ %
Average selling price (1)
Units
shipped
Fiberglass and steel liquid storage tanks and separation equipment $ (349) (64.8)% 299.6% (90.5)%
Heavy wall seamless carbon steel pipe and tube 4,962  91.3% 20.6% 58.3%
Stainless steel pipe and tube 11,100  29.8% 19.0% 8.4%
Galvanized pipe and tube 7,334  189.2% 86.8% 49.5%
   Total increase $ 23,047 
(1) Average price increases (decreases) for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020 primarily relate to the following:
Fiberglass and steel liquid storage tanks and separation equipment - due to the curtailment of Palmer operations and decision to sublease facility;
Heavy wall seamless carbon steel pipe and tube - increase due to demand driven price increases and raw material availability;
Stainless steel pipe and tube - increase due to demand driven price increases and raw material availability; and,
Galvanized pipe and tube - increase due to improvement in indexed pricing

Selling, general, and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2021 was $4.0 million, or 5.7% of sales, as compared to $4.0 million, or 8.5% of sales, in the third quarter of 2020. The dollar impacts were primarily driven by $0.3 million of severance expense related to workforce changes made during the third quarter and a $0.3 million increase in salaries and benefits offset by a $0.5 million increase in gain recognized on the disposal of property, plant and equipment in the quarter associated with wind down activities at the Palmer facility.

23


Operating income increased $23.3 million, or 201.3%, to $11.7 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared to an operating loss of $11.6 million for the third quarter of 2020. Operating income increases for the third quarter of 2021 were primarily driven by increased demand driven sales, increases in average selling prices and goodwill impairment in the third quarter of 2020 that did not occur in the current year.
Specialty Chemicals Segment
Net sales for the Specialty Chemicals Segment in the third quarter of 2021 totaled $16.1 million, representing a $3.9 million, or 31.7%, increase from the third quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily driven by a 25.3% increase in average selling prices and a 5.5% increase in pounds shipped.

Selling, general, and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2021 was $1.1 million, or 6.8% of sales, compared to $0.9 million, or 7.3% of sales, in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in dollars for the third quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by a $0.2 million increase in salaries and benefits.

Operating income increased $0.3 million, or 27.8%, to $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared to operating income of $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2020. Current quarter operating results were primarily driven by the aforementioned increases in average selling prices partially offset by the increases in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Other Performance Items
Unallocated corporate expenses for the third quarter of 2021 increased $0.5 million, or 31.7%, to $2.0 million (2.3% of sales) compared to $1.5 million (2.6% of sales) in the third quarter of 2020 primarily driven by increases in severance expense related to workforce changes made during the quarter, increases in stock compensation expense and taxes and license expense partially offset by reductions in professional fees.

Interest expense was $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in the current year compared to the prior year was driven by lower debt outstanding during the quarter compared to prior year along with the Company's debt refinance in the first quarter of 2021 and the favorability of interest rates associated with the new Credit Agreement.

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company paid $1.0 million related to the earn-out liabilities from the 2019 American Stainless and 2018 MUSA-Galvanized acquisitions.
Nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 Comparison
Consolidated net sales for the first nine months of 2021 were $239.0 million, representing an increase of $38.9 million, or 19.5% when compared to the first nine months of 2020. The increase in net sales for the first nine months of 2021 was primarily driven by a 9.4% increase in average selling prices and a 9.1% increase in pounds shipped.
Consolidated gross profit for the first nine months of 2021 increased 147.3% to $40.8 million, or 17.1% of sales, compared to $16.5 million, or 8.2% of sales, in the first nine months of 2020. The increase in dollars and percentage of sales for the first nine months of 2021 were attributable to increased selling prices and a continued favorable surcharge market environment partially offset by increasing raw material and freight costs.
Consolidated selling, general, and administrative expense for the first nine months of 2021 was $21.9 million, or 9.2% of sales, compared to $21.1 million, or 10.5% of sales, for the first nine months of 2020. The increase in dollars for the first nine months of 2021 was primarily driven by $1.3 million of severance expense related to workforce changes made during the first nine months of 2021, a $0.2 million increase in salaries and benefits, $0.2 million increase in taxes and licenses, $0.1 million increase in insurance expense and $0.1 million increase in bad debt expense partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in gain recognized on the disposal of property, plant and equipment, $0.4 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense and $0.3 million decrease in stock compensation expense.
For the first nine months of 2021, the Company recorded net income of $12.2 million, or $1.30 diluted earnings per share, compared to a net loss of $18.7 million, or $2.06 diluted loss per share for the first nine months of 2020.
Metals Segment
Net sales for the Metals Segment for the first nine months of 2021 totaled $193.4 million, an increase of $33.7 million, or 21.1%, compared to net sales for the first nine months of 2020. The increase for the first nine months of 2021 was primarily driven by a 6.8% increase in average selling prices and a 13.1% increase in pounds shipped.

The net sales increase (decrease) for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020 is summarized as follows:
($ in thousands) $ %
Average selling price (1)
Units
shipped
Fiberglass and steel liquid storage tanks and separation equipment $ (4,113) (82.4)% (36.3)% (70.0)%
Heavy wall seamless carbon steel pipe and tube 10,939  59.4% 7.7% 47.5%
Stainless steel pipe and tube 14,367  11.9% 5.5% 5.5%
Galvanized pipe and tube 12,484  77.6% 49.4% 17.1%
   Total increase $ 33,677 
(1) Average price increases (decreases) for the first nine months of 2021 as compared to the first nine months of 2020 primarily relate to the following:
Fiberglass and steel liquid storage tanks and separation equipment - due to the curtailment of Palmer operations and decision to sublease facility;
Heavy wall seamless carbon steel pipe and tube - increase due to demand driven price increases and higher mix of energy based sales;
Stainless steel pipe and tube - increase due to demand driven price increases partially offset by a less favorable product mix; and,
Galvanized pipe and tube - increase due to improvement in indexed pricing

Selling, general, and administrative expense for the first nine months of 2021 was $13.1 million, or 6.8% of sales, compared to $13.7 million, or 8.6% of sales, in the first nine months of 2020. The decrease in dollars for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020 is primarily driven by a $0.7 million increase in gain recognized on the disposal of property, plant and equipment, $0.3 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, $0.3 million decrease in allocated expenses, $0.2 million decrease in bad debt expense and $0.2 million decrease in stock compensation expense partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in salaries and benefits, $0.4 million in severance expense due to workforce changes made during the first nine months of 2021 and a $0.2 million increase in travel expense.

Operating income for the first nine months of 2021 increased $41.6 million, or 210.2%, to $21.8 million compared to an operating loss of $19.8 million in the first nine months of 2020. Operating income increases in the first nine months of 2021 were primarily driven by increasing demand driven sales, increases in average selling prices and goodwill and asset impairment expenses taken in the first nine months of 2020 not in the current year.
Specialty Chemicals Segment
Net sales for the first nine months of 2021 totaled $45.6 million, an increase of $5.3 million, or 13.1%, compared to the first nine months of 2020. The increase for the first nine months of 2021 was primarily driven by a 10.8% increase in average selling prices and a 2.7% increase in pounds shipped.
Selling, general, and administrative expense for the first nine months of 2021 was $4.1 million, or 9.0% of sales, compared to $2.7 million or 6.6%, of sales, in the first nine months of 2020. The increase for the first nine months of 2021 was primarily driven by $0.5 million of severance expense related to workforce changes in the period, a $0.3 million increase in salaries and benefits, $0.3 million of bad debt expenses, $0.2 million of asset impairment charges, and a $0.2 million increase in environmental expenses.
For the first nine months of 2021, operating income decreased $1.5 million, or 43.0%, to $2.0 million compared to operating income of $3.5 million in the first nine months of 2020. The decrease in operating income for the first nine months of 2021 was primarily driven by the aforementioned increases in selling, general, and administrative costs.
Other Performance Items
Unallocated corporate expenses for the first nine months of 2021 was $5.1 million (2.1% of sales) compared to $5.1 million (2.6% of sales) in the first nine months of 2020. The decrease as a percentage of sales was driven primarily from lower salaries and benefits, travel expenses, professional fees and stock compensation expense partially offset by increases in taxes and licenses and insurance expense.
25


Interest expense was $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $1.7 million for the first nine months of 2020. The decrease in the current year compared to the prior year was driven by lower debt outstanding compared to prior year along with the Company's debt refinance in the first quarter of 2021 and the favorability of interest rates associated with the new Credit Agreement.
During the first nine months of 2021, the Company paid $2.9 million related to the earn-out liabilities from the 2019 American Stainless, 2018 MUSA-Galvanized, and 2017 MUSA-Stainless acquisitions.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide additional useful information to allow readers to compare the financial results between periods. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider the Company's performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We define "EBITDA" as earnings before interest (including change in fair value of interest rate swap), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of non-cash and other items we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance. These items include: goodwill impairment, asset impairment, gain on lease modification, stock-based compensation, non-cash lease cost, acquisition costs and other fees, proxy contest costs and recoveries, loss on extinguishment of debt, earn-out adjustments, realized and unrealized (gains) and losses on investments in equity securities and other investments, retention costs and restructuring and severance costs from net income. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We closely manage our liquidity and capital resources. Our liquidity requirements depend on key variables, including level of investment required to support our business strategies, the performance of our business, capital expenditures, credit facilities and working capital management. Capital expenditures and share repurchases are a component of our cash flow and capital management strategy which we can adjust in response to economic and other changes in our business environment. We have a disciplined approach to capital allocation focusing on priorities that support our business and growth.
Sources of Liquidity
Funds generated by operating activities supplemented by our available cash and cash equivalents and our credit facilities are our most significant sources of liquidity. As of September 30, 2021, we held $1.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, as well as $56.0 million of remaining available capacity on our revolving line of credit. We believe our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund operations and anticipated capital expenditures as well as repay our debt obligations as they become due over the next 12 months.
Cash Flows
Cash flows from total operations were as follows ($ in thousands):
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021 2020
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ 16,186  $ 5,970 
Investing activities 293  1,708 
Financing activities (15,541) (8,141)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents $ 938  $ (463)

Operating Activities
The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily driven by higher net earnings partially offset by changes in working capital. Accounts receivable increased for the first nine months of 2021 by $15.5 million, compared to an decrease of $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2020, driving a reduction of $16.9 million in operating cash flows for the first nine months of 2021. Inventories increased $15.5 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to an decrease of $4.6 million in the first nine months of 2020, driving a reduction of $20.1 million in operating cash flow for the first nine months of 2021. The increases in accounts receivable and inventories were due to increases in sales volume and higher inventory purchases to meet customer demand during the first nine months of 2021. The increases in cash used from accounts receivable and inventories were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable due to higher inventory purchases to meet customer demand and days payables outstanding of 38 days in the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively, as well as changes in accrued income taxes due to tax benefits the Company continues to receive as part of the CARES Act.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities primarily consists of transactions related to capital expenditures and equity transactions. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due proceeds received from the sale of investments in equity securities in the prior year not in the current year partially offset by an increase in proceeds received from the disposal of property, plant and equipment and a decrease in capital expenditures in the current year compared to the prior year.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities primarily consists of transactions related to our long-term debt. The increase in cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to increased payments towards the Company's line of credit in the current year and payments to pay off the Company's previous term loan as part of the Company's debt refinancing in the first quarter of 2021.
29


Long-term Debt
On January 15, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a new Credit Agreement with BMO providing the Company with a new four-year revolving credit facility and replacing the Company's previous asset based revolving line of credit and term loan with Truist. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $49.0 million of total borrowings outstanding with its lender, a decrease of $12.4 million from the balance at December 31, 2020. The Facility contains covenants requiring the maintenance of a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio if excess availability falls below the greater of (i) $7.5 million and (ii) 10% of the revolving credit facility (currently $10.5 million). As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. See Note 7 in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company's line of credit.
Share Repurchases and Dividends
We have a share repurchase program, authorized by the Company's Board of Directors, that is executed through purchases made from time to time at prevailing market prices, through open market or privately negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions. Shares repurchased are returned to status of authorized, but unissued shares of common stock or held in treasury. The following table presents the total number of shares repurchased, average price paid per share, and the total amount paid per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021 2020
Number of shares repurchased —  59,617 
Average price per share $ —  $ 10.65 
Total cost of shares repurchased $ —  $ 636,940 

At the end of each fiscal year, the Board of Directors reviews the financial performance and capital needed to support future growth to determine the amount of cash dividend, if any, which is appropriate. In 2020, no dividends were declared or paid by the Company.
Other Financial Measures
Below are additional financial measures that we believe are important in understanding the Company's liquidity position from year to year. Results of these additional measures are as follows:
September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Current ratio(a)
3.0 4.1
Debt to capital(b)
34% 43%

(a) Current ratio = current assets divided by current liabilities
(b) Debt to capital = total debt divided by total capital
(c) Return on average equity = net income divided by the trailing 12-month average of equity
(d) Days sales outstanding = average AR divided by average sales by day on a nine-month average basis
(e) Days payables outstanding = average AP divided by cost of sales multiplied by number of days on a nine-month average basis
(f) Inventory turnover = average inventory divided by cost of sales on a nine-month average basis

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on the Company's financial position, revenues, results of operations, liquidity, or capital expenditures.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes a table in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, summarizing our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2020, including approximately $54.1 million of long-term debt obligations and projected future interest due in 2021. As discussed in Note 7, on January 15, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a new Credit Agreement with BMO providing the Company with a new four-year revolving credit facility and replacing the Company's previous asset based revolving line of credit and term loan with Truist.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the notes to the consolidated financial statements presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. We discuss our critical accounting estimates in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates since the end of 2020.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act; therefore, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Based on the evaluation required by 17 C.F.R. Section 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b) of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 17 C.F.R. Sections 240.13a-15(e) and 240.15d-15(e)), the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, identified no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
It is not unusual for us and our subsidiaries to be involved in various unresolved legal actions, administrative proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business involving, among other things, product liability, commercial, employment, workers' compensation, and environmental matters. We establish reserves in a manner that is consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for costs associated with such matters when a liability is probable and those costs are capable of being reasonably estimated. We cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss or recovery. Based on current information, however, we believe that the eventual outcome of these unresolved legal actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. There were no material changes in our Legal Proceedings, as discussed in Part I, Item 3 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2020.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There were no material changes in our assessment of risk factors as discussed in Part I, Item 1A in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or amendment was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense. The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any federal or state law based on or equivalent to the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.
7.3Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Joinder or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair
5



the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Joinder or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.
7.4Captions. Section captions used in this Joinder are for convenience only, and shall not affect the construction of this Joinder.
7.5Entire Agreement. This Joinder embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
7.6References. Any reference to the Credit Agreement or the Pledge and Security Agreement contained in any notice, request, certificate, or other document executed concurrently with or after the execution and delivery of this Joinder shall be deemed to include this Joinder unless the context shall otherwise require. Reference in any of this Joinder, the Credit Agreement, the Pledge and Security Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Credit Agreement or the Pledge and Security Agreement shall be a reference to the Credit Agreement and/or the Pledge and Security Agreement, as applicable, as amended hereby and as may be further amended, modified, restated, supplemented or extended from time to time.
