CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend the forward-looking statements throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. Statements contained in this report which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” and other phrases of similar meaning. Such statements include expectations regarding expected benefits from enhancements to our systems and processes at Arcadia Products, North American well completion activity in the second quarter of 2024, anticipated profit margin improvements resulting from changes in manufacturing processes and the introduction of new products in DynaEnergetics, continued demand and realization of large order opportunities at NobelClad, our backlog at NobelClad, the result and timing of the strategic review process for our businesses, our ability to access capital markets transactions in the future, the availability of funds to support our liquidity position and our expected future liquidity position. The forward-looking information is based on information available as of the date of this quarterly report and on numerous assumptions and developments that are not within our control. Although we believe that our expectations as expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will turn out to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, those factors referenced in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and other potential factors, including: geopolitical and economic instability, including recessions or depressions; inflation; supply chain delays and disruptions; the availability and cost of energy; transportation disruptions; the ability to obtain new contracts at attractive prices; the size and timing of customer orders and shipments; product pricing and margins; our ability to realize sales from our backlog; fluctuations in customer demand; fluctuations in foreign currencies; competitive factors; the timely completion of contracts; the timing and size of expenditures; the timely receipt of government approvals and permits; the price and availability of metal, aluminum, and other raw materials; fluctuations in tariffs or quotas; changes in laws and regulations, both domestic and foreign, impacting our business and the business of the end-market users we serve; the adequacy of local labor supplies at our facilities; current or future limits on manufacturing capacity at our various operations; the impact of pending or future litigation or regulatory matters; the availability and cost of funds; our ability to access our borrowing capacity under our credit facility or access the capital markets; global economic conditions; and wars, terrorism and armed conflicts. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The information included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is unaudited but includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures, including critical and significant accounting policies normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted for this quarterly presentation. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of DMC Global Inc. (“DMC”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) and its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts, profits, and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounts Receivable

The Company measures expected credit losses for its accounts receivable using a current expected credit loss model, which is based on historical experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company has disaggregated pools of accounts receivable balances by business, geography and/or customer risk profile and has used history and other experience to establish an allowance for credit losses at the time the receivable is recognized. To measure expected credit losses, we have elected to pool trade receivables by business segment and analyze each segment’s accounts receivable balances as separate populations. Within each segment, receivables exhibit similar risk characteristics.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our expected loss rate reflects uncertainties in market conditions present in our businesses, including supply chain disruptions, industry consolidation, rising interest rates, as well as global geopolitical and economic instability. In addition, we reviewed receivables outstanding, including aged balances, and in circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation to us, we recorded a specific allowance for credit losses against the amounts due, reducing the net receivable recognized to the amount we estimate will be collected. The offsetting expense is charged to “Selling and distribution expenses” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, net provisions of $476 were recorded. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net recoveries of $154 were recorded.

The following table summarizes year-to-date activity in the allowance for credit losses on receivables from customers in each of our business segments:


	Arcadia Products		DynaEnergetics		NobelClad		DMC Global Inc.

Table of Conten t s

Redeemable noncontrolling interest

On December 23, 2021, DMC completed the acquisition of 60% of the membership interests in Arcadia Products, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company resulting from the conversion of Arcadia, Inc. (collectively, “Arcadia Products”). The limited liability company operating agreement for Arcadia Products (the “Operating Agreement”) contains a right for the Company to purchase the remaining interest in Arcadia Products from the minority interest holder on or after the third anniversary of the acquisition closing date (“Call Option”). Similarly, the minority interest holder of Arcadia Products has the right to sell its remaining interest in Arcadia Products to the Company on or after the third anniversary of the acquisition closing date (“Put Option”). Both the Call Option and Put Option enable the respective holder to exercise their rights based upon a predefined calculation as included within the Operating Agreement.

The Company initially accounted for the noncontrolling interest at its acquisition date fair value. We determined that neither the Call Option nor the Put Option meet the definition of a derivative as the Operating Agreement does not allow for contractual net settlement, the options cannot be settled outside the Operating Agreement through a market mechanism, and the underlying shares are deemed illiquid as they are not publicly traded and thus not considered readily convertible to cash. Additionally, the settlement price for both options is based upon a predefined calculation tied to adjusted earnings rather than a fixed price, and the formula is based upon a multiple of Arcadia Products’ average adjusted earnings over a three-year period, subject to a floor value as defined in the Operating Agreement which is based primarily upon a contractually stated equity value. As such, we have concluded that the Call Option and Put Option are embedded within the noncontrolling interest and therefore do not represent freestanding instruments.

Given that the noncontrolling interest is subject to possible redemption with redemption rights that are not entirely within the control of the Company, we have concluded that the noncontrolling interest should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480"). The noncontrolling interest is also probable of redemption, as the only criteria for the security to become redeemable is the passage of time. As such, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified in temporary equity, separate from the stockholders’ equity section, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At each balance sheet date subsequent to acquisition, two separate calculations must be performed to determine the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. First, the redeemable noncontrolling interest must be accounted for in accordance with ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”) whereby income (loss) and cash distributions attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder are ascribed. After this occurs, applicable provisions of ASC 480 must be considered to determine whether any further adjustment is necessary to increase the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. An adjustment would only be necessary if the estimated settlement amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, per the terms of the Operating Agreement, exceeds the carrying value calculated in accordance with ASC 810. If such adjustment is required, the impact is immediately recorded to retained earnings and therefore does not impact the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was $187,080 and $187,760, respectively. The March 31, 2024 redeemable noncontrolling interest value is equal to the floor value per the Operating Agreement.

Promissory Note

In order to equalize after-tax consideration to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder relative to an alternative transaction structure, immediately following the closing of the acquisition, the Company loaned $24,902 to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder. The loan was evidenced by an unsecured promissory note, and the loan will be repaid out of proceeds from the sale of the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder’s interests in Arcadia Products, whether received upon exercise of the Put Option, the Call Option or upon sales to third parties permitted under the terms of the Operating Agreement. The loan must be repaid in full at the earlier of the exercise of the Put or Call Option, or by December 16, 2051, and has been recorded within “Other assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from consideration paid by customers for tangible goods. The Company analyzes its different products by segment to determine the appropriate basis for revenue recognition. Revenue is not generated from sources other than contracts with customers and revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. There are no material upfront costs for operations that are incurred from contracts with customers.

Table of Conten t s

Our rights to payments for goods transferred to customers within our DynaEnergetics and NobelClad business segments arise when control is transferred at a point in time and not on any other criteria. Our rights to payments for goods transferred to customers within our Arcadia Products business segment also predominantly arise when control is transferred at a point in time; however, at times, control of certain customized, project-based products passes to the customer over time. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days across all of our segments. In instances when we require customers to make advanced payments prior to the shipment of their orders, we record a contract liability. We have determined that our contract liabilities do not include a significant financing component given the short duration between order initiation and order fulfillment within each of our segments. Refer to Note 9 "Business Segments" for disaggregated revenue disclosures.

See additional revenue recognition policy disclosures specific to each of our business segments within our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or tax laws are included in the provision for income taxes in the period of enactment. The deferred income tax impact of tax credits are recognized as an immediate adjustment to income tax expense. We recognize deferred tax assets for the expected future effects of all deductible temporary differences to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. We record a valuation allowance when, based on current circumstances, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, recent financial performance and existing valuation allowances, if any.

We recognize the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the position, that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation. The tax benefits recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured as the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate resolution. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in operating expense.

Earnings Per Share

In periods with net income, the Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) using a two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for (i) each class of common stock (the Company has a single class of common stock), and (ii) participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Restricted stock awards are considered participating securities in periods of net income as they receive non-forfeitable rights to dividends as common stock. Restricted stock awards do not participate in net losses.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s stockholders after adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) available to common shareholders of the Company includes any adjustment to the redeemable noncontrolling interest as of the end of the period presented. Refer to the "Redeemable noncontrolling interest" section above for further discussion of the calculation of the adjustment of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. Diluted EPS adjusts basic EPS for the effects of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance share units and other potentially dilutive financial instruments (dilutive securities), only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. The effect of the dilutive securities is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the more dilutive of (1) the treasury stock method or (2) the two-class method. For the applicable periods presented, diluted EPS using the two-class method was more dilutive than the treasury stock method; as such, only the two-class method has been included below.

(1) For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 10,052 shares have been excluded as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Given we were in a net loss position after the adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2023, all potentially dilutive shares were anti-dilutive and were therefore excluded from the determination of diluted EPS.

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company maintains a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) as part of its overall compensation package for certain employees. Participants are eligible to defer a portion of their annual salary, their annual incentive bonus, and their equity awards through the Plan on a tax-deferred basis. Deferrals into the Plan are not matched or subsidized by the Company, nor are they eligible for above-market or preferential earnings.

The Plan provides for deferred compensation obligations to be settled either by delivery of a fixed number of shares of DMC’s common stock or in cash, in accordance with participant contributions and elections. For deferred equity awards, subsequent to equity award vesting and after a period prescribed by the Plan, participants can elect to diversify contributions of equity awards into other investment options available to Plan participants. Once diversified, such contributions will be settled by delivery of cash. Effective January 1, 2024, diversification of deferred equity awards is no longer permitted by the Plan.

The Company has established a grantor trust commonly known as a “rabbi trust” and contributed certain assets to satisfy the future obligations to participants in the Plan. These assets are subject to potential claims of the Company’s general creditors. The assets held in the trust include unvested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), vested company stock awards, company-owned life insurance (“COLI”) on certain current and former employees, and money market and mutual funds. Unvested RSAs and common stock held by the trust are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within “Treasury stock, at cost, and company stock held for deferred compensation, at par” at the par value of the common stock or unvested RSAs. These accounts are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the fair value of the common stock. COLI is accounted for at the cash surrender value while money market and mutual funds held by the trust are accounted for at fair value.

Deferred compensation obligations that will be settled in cash are accounted for on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the Plan. These obligations are adjusted based on changes in value of the underlying investment options chosen by Plan participants. Deferred compensation obligations that will be settled by delivery of a fixed number of previously vested shares of the Company’s common stock are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest within “Common stock” at the par value of the common stock or unvested RSAs. These accounts are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the fair value of the common stock.

The balances related to the deferred compensation plan were as follows for the periods presented. The amounts included within “Prepaid expenses and other” and “Other current liabilities” pertain to scheduled distributions per the terms of the Plan that will occur within twelve months of March 31, 2024.

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 in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We are required to use an established hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation and the degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:

•Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible as of the measurement date.

•Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation include quoted prices in either markets that are not active, or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The highest priority is assigned to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value. The carrying value of our revolving loans and term loan under our credit facility, when outstanding, also approximate their fair value because of the variable interest rate associated with these instruments, which reset each month at market interest rates. All of these account balances are considered Level 1 assets and liabilities.

Our foreign currency forward contracts are valued using quoted market prices or are determined using a yield curve model based on current market rates. As a result, we classify these instruments as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Money market funds and mutual funds of $1,915 as of March 31, 2024 and $3,257 as of December 31, 2023 held to satisfy future deferred compensation obligations are valued based upon the market values of underlying securities and are classified as Level 2 assets in the fair value hierarchy.

We did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which amends reportable segment disclosure requirements to enhance disclosure of significant segment information on an annual and interim basis. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-07 is to be applied retrospectively, and we are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends income tax disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate reconciliation to include incremental income tax information and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is applied prospectively. Early adoption and retrospective application of the amendments are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our financial statements and disclosures.

We have considered all other recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, and we do not expect any to have a material effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. Significant cost elements included in inventory are raw materials, labor, freight, subcontract costs, and manufacturing overhead. As necessary, we write down inventory to its net realizable value by recording provisions for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory. To determine provision amounts, we regularly review inventory quantities on hand and values, and compare them to estimates of future product demand, market conditions, production requirements and technological developments.

Inventories consisted of the following at March 31, 2024:


	Arcadia Products		DynaEnergetics		NobelClad		DMC Global Inc.
Raw materials	$	9,493	$	24,893	$	8,115	$	42,501
Work-in-process	8,955		21,822		12,701		43,478

4. PURCHASED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Our purchased intangible assets consisted of the following at March 31, 2024:


	Gross		Accumulated Amortization		Net
Core technology	$	276	$	(268)	$	8

Customer relationships	211,113		(39,819)		171,294

5. CONTRACT LIABILITIES

At times, we require customers to make advanced payments prior to the shipment of their orders to help finance our inventory investment on large orders or keep customers’ credit limits at acceptable levels. Contract liabilities were as follows for the periods presented:


	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Arcadia Products	$	12,527	$	13,815
NobelClad	5,420		6,662
DynaEnergetics	1,230		1,144
Total contract liabilities	$	19,177	$	21,621

We generally expect to recognize the revenue associated with contract liabilities over a time period no longer than one year, but unforeseen circumstances can cause delays in shipments associated with contract liabilities, primarily supply chain delays and disruptions.

6. LEASES

The Company leases real properties for use in manufacturing and as administrative and sales offices, and leases automobiles and office equipment. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease arrangement at the inception of the contract. For leases in which the Company is the lessee, leases are classified as either finance or operating. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are initially measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term plus initial direct costs, if any. If a lease does not provide a discount rate and the implicit rate cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the present value of future lease payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Lease and non-lease components within the Company’s lease agreements are accounted for together. Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The Company has no leases in which the Company is the lessor.

Nearly all of the Company’s leasing arrangements are classified as operating leases. ROU asset and lease liability balances were as follows for the periods presented:


	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
ROU asset	$	43,656	$	45,409

Current lease liability	7,845		7,652
Long-term lease liability	37,916		39,744
Total lease liability	$	45,761	$	47,396

The ROU asset is reported in “Other assets” while the current lease liability is reported in “Other current liabilities” and the long-term lease liability is reported in “Other long-term liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash paid for operating lease liabilities is recorded as operating cash outflows in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Arcadia Products leases certain office, manufacturing, distribution and warehouse facilities from entities affiliated with the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder and former president of Arcadia Products. There were eight such leases in effect as of March 31, 2024, with expiration dates ranging from calendar years 2025 to 2031. As of March 31, 2024, the total ROU asset and related lease liability recognized for these leases was $24,515 and $25,432, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, operating lease expense was $3,348 and $3,040, respectively. Related party lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1,156 in each period and is included in total operating lease expense. Short term and variable lease costs were not significant for any period presented.

Outstanding borrowings consisted of the following at:


	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Syndicated credit agreement:

Less: current portion of long-term debt	(2,500)		(15,000)
Long-term debt	$	85,509	$	100,851

Syndicated Credit Agreement

On February 6, 2024, the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to its existing credit agreement with a syndicate of banks, led by KeyBank National Association (the “credit facility”). The First Amendment provides for certain changes to the credit facility, including an increase in the maximum commitment amount from $200,000 to $300,000. The credit facility allows for revolving loans of up to $200,000, a $50,000 term loan facility, and a $50,000 delayed draw term loan facility that can be accessed by the Company at its discretion until February 6, 2026. The $50,000 term loan facility is amortizable at $625 per quarter beginning on June 30, 2024 through March 31, 2026. Quarterly term loan amortization increases to $938 on June 30, 2026 through March 31, 2028, and increases to $1,250 from June 30, 2028 through December 31, 2028. A balloon payment for the outstanding term loan balance is due upon the credit facility maturity date of February 6, 2029. The credit facility retains a $100,000 accordion feature to increase the commitments under the revolving loan and/or by adding one or more term loans subject to approval by the applicable lenders. The credit facility is secured by certain assets of DMC including accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets, including Arcadia Products and its subsidiary, as well as guarantees and share pledges by DMC and its subsidiaries. The revolving loan can also be used to issue bank guarantees to customers to secure their advanced payments. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, bank guarantees of $443, respectively, were secured.

Borrowings under the $200,000 revolving loan limit and $50,000 Term Loan can be in the form of Adjusted Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") loans or one month Adjusted Term SOFR loans. Additionally, U.S. dollar borrowings on the revolving loan can be in the form of Base Rate loans (Base Rate borrowings are based on the greater of the administrative agent’s Prime rate, an adjusted Federal Funds rate or an adjusted SOFR rate). SOFR loans bear interest at the applicable SOFR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 2.25% to 3.25%). Base Rate loans bear interest at the defined Base Rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.25%).

The credit facility includes various covenants and restrictions, certain of which relate to the payment of dividends or other distributions to stockholders; redemption of capital stock; incurring additional indebtedness; mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets; and maintenance of specified ratios.

The leverage ratio is defined in the credit facility as the ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the credit facility) on the last day of any trailing four quarter period to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit facility) for such period. The maximum leverage ratio permitted by our credit facility is 3.0 to 1.0.

The debt service coverage ratio is defined in the credit facility as the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA less the sum of capital distributions paid in cash (other than those made with respect to preferred stock issued under the Operating Agreement), Consolidated Unfunded Capital Expenditures (as defined in the credit facility), and net cash income taxes divided by the sum of cash interest expense, any dividends on the preferred stock paid in cash, and scheduled principal payments on funded indebtedness. Under our credit facility, the minimum debt service coverage ratio permitted is 1.25 to 1.0.

As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.

Table of Conten t s

We also maintain a line of credit with a German bank with a borrowing capacity of €7,000 for our NobelClad and DynaEnergetics operations in Europe. This line of credit is also used to issue bank guarantees to customers to secure their advanced payments. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under this line of credit and bank guarantees of €1,619 and €1,696, respectively, were secured. The line of credit has open-ended terms and can be canceled by the bank at any time.

8. INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for each of the periods reported differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to variation in contribution to consolidated pre-tax income from each jurisdiction for the respective periods, differences between the U.S. and foreign tax rates (which range from 20% to 33%), permanent differences between book and taxable income, and income or loss attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder.

Arcadia Products is treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes. With the exception of certain state taxes, income or loss flows through to the shareholders and is taxed at the shareholder level. Tax impacts related to income or loss from Arcadia Products that are included in consolidated pretax results but are attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder are not included in the consolidated income tax provision.

We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use existing deferred tax assets. Additionally, a three-year cumulative loss at a consolidated financial statement level may be viewed as negative evidence impacting a jurisdiction that by itself is not in a three-year cumulative loss position. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we did not record any adjustments to previously established valuation allowances, except for corresponding adjustments related to changes in deferred tax asset balances. These adjustments had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company will continue to monitor the realizability of deferred tax assets and the need for valuation allowances and will record adjustments in the periods in which facts support such changes.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) provides that foreign earnings generally can be repatriated to the U.S. without federal tax consequence. We have assessed the assertion that cumulative earnings by our foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested. We continue to permanently reinvest the earnings of our international subsidiaries and therefore we do not provide for U.S. income taxes or withholding taxes that could result from the distribution of those earnings to the U.S. parent. If any such earnings were ultimately distributed to the U.S. in the form of dividends or otherwise, or if the shares of our international subsidiaries were sold or transferred, we could be subject to additional U.S. federal and state income taxes. Due to the multiple avenues in which earnings can be repatriated, and because a large portion of these earnings are not liquid, it is not practical to estimate the amount of additional taxes that might be payable on these amounts of undistributed foreign income.

In March 2024, we were notified of a forthcoming tax audit in Germany of our NobelClad subsidiary for the years 2019 through 2021. Our tax provisions reflect our best estimate of state, local, federal, and foreign taxes. While the audit is not unexpected, the outcome cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company’s tax audit are resolved in a manner not consistent with our expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provisions for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs.

9. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Our business is organized into three segments: Arcadia Products, DynaEnergetics and NobelClad. In December 2021, DMC acquired a 60% controlling interest in Arcadia Products. Arcadia Products designs, engineers, fabricates, and finishes aluminum framing systems, windows, curtain walls, storefronts, entrance systems, and interior partitions to the commercial construction market. Additionally, Arcadia supplies customized windows and doors for the ultra-high-end residential construction market. DynaEnergetics designs, manufactures, markets, and sells perforating systems and associated hardware for the global oil and gas industry. NobelClad produces explosion-welded clad metal plates for use in the construction of corrosion resistant industrial processing equipment and specialized transition joints for commuter rail cars, ships, and liquified natural gas (LNG) processing equipment.

Our reportable segments are separately managed, strategic business units that offer different products and services, and each segment has separate financial information available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in allocating resources and assessing performance. Each segment’s products are marketed to different customer types and require different manufacturing processes and technologies.

* Stock-based compensation is not allocated to wholly owned segments DynaEnergetics and NobelClad. Stock-based compensation is allocated to the Arcadia Products segment as 60% of such expense is attributable to the Company, whereas the remaining 40% is attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder.

The disaggregation of revenue earned from contracts with customers is based on the geographic location of the customer. For Arcadia Products, net sales have been presented consistent with United States regional definitions as provided by the American Institute of Architects. For DynaEnergetics and NobelClad, all net sales are from products shipped from our manufacturing facilities and distribution centers located in the United States, Germany, and Canada.

10. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily the U.S. dollar to the euro, the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar and, to a lesser extent, other currencies, arising from intercompany and third-party transactions entered into by our subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. Changes in exchange rates with respect to these transactions result in unrealized gains or losses if such transactions are unsettled at the end of the reporting period or realized gains or losses at settlement of the transaction. We use foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency denominated asset and liability positions. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges, and all changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are recognized in “Other expense, net” within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We execute derivatives with a specialized foreign exchange brokerage firm as well as other large financial institutions. The primary credit risk inherent in derivative agreements is the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. We perform a review of the credit risk of our counterparties at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis. We anticipate that our counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements but will take action if doubt arises regarding the counterparties’ ability to perform.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the net notional amounts of the forward contracts the Company held were $33,179 and $32,310, respectively. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of outstanding forward contracts was $0.

The following table reflects the location and amount of net (losses) gains from hedging activities for the periods presented. These hedging net (losses) gains offset foreign currency gains and losses recorded in the normal course of business, which are not shown below.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingent Liabilities

The Company records an accrual for contingent liabilities when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. If some amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount is accrued. When no amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the lowest amount in the range is accrued.

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and potential. In addition to the matters discussed below, various other lawsuits, claims, and proceedings have been or may be instituted or asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to environmental, safety and health, commercial, tax, product liability, intellectual property infringement and employment matters, and other actions and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Although it is difficult to accurately predict the outcome of any such proceedings, based on facts currently available, management believes that the disposition of these other matters that are pending or asserted will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the financial position of the Company.

Wage and Hour Matters

Felipe v. Arcadia, Inc. and One Stop Employment Services, Inc. (“One Stop”). This complaint was filed on October 22, 2021 in Los Angeles Superior Court and purported to allege a class action on behalf of all non-exempt California employees who worked on behalf of One Stop or Arcadia Products at any time during the four years preceding the date of the complaint. One Stop is a staffing agency which provides temporary workers, including to Arcadia Products. The complaint stated claims under California’s labor laws and under its general Unfair Business Practices Act, California Business & Professions Code section 17200. The plaintiff subsequently dismissed the class action claims without prejudice, acknowledging that Arcadia Products’ arbitration agreement likely bars such class claims. The plaintiff also filed a separate action under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) alleging essentially the same wage and hour violations. This action included other Arcadia Products employees. The California Supreme Court ruled that the representative PAGA claims are not barred by the arbitration agreement. The plaintiff also commenced arbitration on individual claims. This action was settled in April 2024 as described below.

Mayorga v. Arcadia, Inc. This complaint was filed on November 15, 2021 in Los Angeles Superior Court. It purported to allege a class action on behalf of all of the Company’s non-exempt California employees who worked at the Company within four years before the date the complaint was filed. It asserted claims substantially similar to those asserted in the Felipe case but does not include One Stop as a defendant. The plaintiff amended his complaint to delete class action claims and any individual non-PAGA claims. Accordingly, plaintiff’s complaint is limited to PAGA collective action claims. The plaintiff, however, commenced arbitration on a solely individual basis of his wage and hour claims. The arbitral body appointed an arbitrator to adjudicate those claims. However, the parties agreed to postpone any hearing pending the completion of the settlement described below.

The parties reached a settlement of both above actions. Under the settlement, Arcadia Products has agreed to pay $375 of a total $600 settlement amount to resolve its portion of all PAGA claims in both the Mayorga and Felipe actions. The settlement includes the individual claims of each plaintiff. The settlement was subject to court approval, which was received on April 26, 2024.

Arcadia Products previously reserved $375 which represents its current estimate of loss to resolve all PAGA claims. Under the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company is indemnified for the liability recognized to date related to these matters. Therefore, an offsetting receivable was also recognized such that there was no impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these claims.

Environmental Matter

On February 21, 2024, Los Angeles Waterkeeper (Waterkeeper) sent Arcadia Products a 60-day Notice of Intent (NOI) to file a citizen suit related to alleged stormwater-related violations of the Clean Water Act at three Arcadia Products facilities located in Vernon, California. The alleged violations include exceedances of discharge-related requirements and limitations, certain alleged stormwater pollution prevention plan inadequacies, and certain monitoring and reporting violations. The Company has engaged an engineering and consulting firm to assist the Company in investigating the allegations and in responding to the NOI. The Company also has been in contact with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) to address certain alleged reporting violations. The Company understands that reporting violations are subject to mandatory minimum penalties under the California Water Code. On April 26, 2024, Waterkeeper filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California under the citizen suit provisions of the Clean Water Act but has not yet served the complaint on Arcadia. The Company cannot predict how the Waterkeeper allegations will be resolved or the extent of any penalties that the LARWQCB might seek to impose.

12. STRATEGIC REVIEW EXPENSES

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company announced that its board of directors (“the Board”) had initiated a review of strategic alternatives for the DynaEnergetics and NobelClad segments. In conjunction with the Board’s consideration of various strategic, business, and financial alternatives, the Company has, and will continue to incur, significant expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, strategic review expenses incurred were $2,169 and primarily included $1,138 in diligence related professional service fees and $489 in employee retention compensation, including $72 of stock-based compensation.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical Consolidated Financial Statements and notes that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Unless stated otherwise, all dollar figures are presented in thousands (000s).

Overview

General

DMC Global Inc. (“DMC”, "we", "us", "our", or the "Company") owns and operates Arcadia Products, DynaEnergetics and NobelClad, three innovative, asset-light manufacturing businesses that provide differentiated products and engineered solutions to niche segments of the construction, energy, industrial processing and transportation markets. Each of our businesses provides a unique suite of highly engineered products and differentiated solutions, and each has established a leadership position in its respective market. Our businesses seek to capitalize on their product and service differentiation to expand profit margins, increase cash flow and enhance shareholder value. Based in Broomfield, Colorado, DMC trades on Nasdaq under the symbol “BOOM.”

Arcadia Products

On December 23, 2021, DMC completed the acquisition of 60% of the membership interests in Arcadia Products, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company resulting from the conversion of Arcadia, Inc. (collectively, “Arcadia Products”). Arcadia Products designs, engineers, fabricates, and finishes aluminum framing systems, windows, curtain walls, storefronts, entrance systems, and interior partitions to the commercial construction market. Additionally, Arcadia Products supplies customized windows and doors to the ultra-high-end residential construction market.

Cost of products sold for Arcadia Products includes the cost of aluminum, paint, and other raw materials used in manufacturing as well as employee compensation and benefits, manufacturing facility lease expense, depreciation of manufacturing equipment, supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

DynaEnergetics

DynaEnergetics designs, manufactures, markets and sells perforating systems and associated hardware for the global oil and gas industry. These products are primarily sold to oilfield service companies in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The market for perforating products, which are used during the well completion process, generally corresponds with oil and gas exploration and production activity. Well completion operations are increasingly complex, which in turn has increased the demand for intrinsically-safe, reliable and technically advanced perforating systems.

Cost of products sold for DynaEnergetics includes the cost of metals, explosives and other raw materials used to manufacture shaped charges, detonating products and perforating guns as well as employee compensation and benefits, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

NobelClad

NobelClad produces explosion-welded clad metal plates for use in the construction of corrosion resistant industrial processing equipment and specialized transition joints for commuter rail cars, ships, and liquified natural gas (LNG) processing equipment. While most demand for our products is driven by maintenance and retrofit projects at existing plants and facilities, new projects for petrochemical processing, oil refining, and aluminum smelting facilities also account for a significant portion of total demand. These industries tend to be cyclical in nature and the timing of new order inflow remains difficult to predict. We use backlog, defined as all unfilled firm purchase orders and commitments at a point in time, to measure the immediate outlook for our NobelClad business. Most firm purchase orders and commitments are realized and shipped within twelve months. NobelClad's backlog was $52,380 at March 31, 2024 compared to $59,357 at December 31, 2023.

Cost of products sold for NobelClad includes the cost of metals, explosive powders and other raw materials used to manufacture clad metal plates and transition joints as well as employee compensation and benefits, outside processing costs, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing facility lease expense, supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

Factors Affecting Results

•Consolidated sales were $166,869 in the first quarter of 2024 versus $184,341 in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 9%. The decline in sales performance was driven by lower sales at Arcadia Products and DynaEnergetics.

•Arcadia Products reported sales of $61,925 in the first quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of 23% compared with the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was attributable to lower sales volumes attributable to a slowdown in our key short-cycle commercial and longer-cycle ultra-high-end residential markets combined with lower customer pricing in response to declines in base aluminum metal costs.

•DynaEnergetics’ sales of $78,122 in the first quarter of 2024 decreased 5% compared with the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to a decrease in pricing of DS perforating systems as a result of industry consolidation in the United States.

•NobelClad’s sales of $26,822 in the first quarter of 2024 increased 22% compared with the first quarter of 2023 reflecting continued healthy activity in core energy and petrochemical end markets.

•Consolidated gross profit was 25.4% in the first quarter of 2024 versus 28.3% in the first quarter of 2023. The decline was primarily attributable to margin declines at DynaEnergetics as well as lower absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead costs as a result of the decrease in consolidated sales.

•Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $28,203 in the first quarter of 2024 compared with $39,324 in the first quarter of 2023. 2023 SG&A included nonrecurring CEO transition expenses and related accelerated stock-based compensation of $6,005, as well as patent infringement litigation costs at DynaEnergetics of $3,065. The remaining year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in internal leadership and sales meeting expense and outside service costs.

•Cash of $20,444 at March 31, 2024 decreased $23,215 from cash and marketable securities of $43,659 at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to debt repayments made associated with the Company’s credit agreement amendment executed in February 2024.

•The Company’s leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with its credit facility, was 1.0 to 1.0 as of March 31, 2024 in comparison to the maximum ratio permitted of 3.0 to 1.0. The Company’s adjusted leverage ratio, calculated using net debt as of March 31, 2024, was 0.77 to 1.0.

Outlook

We expect Arcadia Products to be the primary driver of DMC’s future financial and operational growth, reflecting the division’s large addressable market and differentiated business model. Arcadia Products is capitalizing on new digital technologies and industrial engineering initiatives to strengthen operations and increase manufacturing capacity. Phase one of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system went live in the third quarter of 2023 and is enhancing operating efficiencies and the internal control environment. Additional aluminum painting capacity was added in the second half of 2023, and the business expects industrial engineering programs, coupled with external sourcing, to further expand painting and anodizing capacity in 2024. Key growth initiatives for 2024 include utilizing new painting capacity to increase sales, and ensuring each of Arcadia’s product offerings (commercial exteriors, commercial interiors, and ultra-high-end residential) are represented across all branch locations throughout the western and southwestern United States.

At DynaEnergetics, U.S. well completion activity in the first quarter declined by approximately 10% versus the fourth quarter, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. We believe North American well completion activity will remain soft during the second quarter of 2024 based on recent declines in the number of active drilling rigs and well fracking crews. DynaEnergetics introduced various premium products in 2023 and is in the process of implementing several operational excellence initiatives, including automated manufacturing and assembly processes, that collectively are expected to partially offset persistent pricing pressure in North America’s well completions sector.

NobelClad is experiencing strong demand for its Cylindra™ cryogenic transition joints for use in the processing of LNG; and recent enhancements to the Cylindra production process have reduced manufacturing lead times. NobelClad currently is pursuing large order opportunities in the petrochemical industry, which we believe could be awarded later in 2024. NobelClad’s order backlog was $52,380 as of March 31, 2024, down from $59,357 as of December 31, 2023. NobelClad expects to ship most orders in its backlog within twelve months.

On January 29, 2024, DMC announced its Board of Directors had initiated a review of strategic alternatives for its DynaEnergetics and NobelClad businesses. The process formalizes DMC’s ongoing efforts to consider opportunities that unlock shareholder value. The Board has retained financial advisors to assist in evaluating the Company’s current strategy, operations, and capital structure. The Board will consider various strategic, business, and financial alternatives for both businesses. These could include, among other things, a sale, a merger, or other business combination of a portion of DMC’s business-unit assets, and/or a strategic investment. The Board has not set a timetable to complete the strategic review process, and there can be no assurance that the review process will result in any transactions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that we use in operational and financial decision making. Non-GAAP financial measures include the following:

•EBITDA: defined as net income (loss) plus net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

•Adjusted EBITDA: excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance (as further described in the tables below).

•Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC Global Inc.: excludes the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the 40% redeemable noncontrolling interest in Arcadia Products.

•Adjusted EBITDA for DMC business segments: defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation, amortization, allocated stock-based compensation (if applicable), restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC's operating performance.

•Adjusted net income (loss): defined as net income (loss) attributable to DMC Global Inc. stockholders prior to the adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest plus restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC's operating performance.

•Adjusted diluted earnings per share: defined as diluted earnings per share attributable to DMC Global Inc. stockholders (exclusive of adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest) plus restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance.

•Net debt: defined as total debt less total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

•Free-cash flow: defined as cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities less net acquisitions of property, plant and equipment.

Management believes providing these additional financial measures is useful to investors in understanding the Company’s operating performance, excluding the effects of restructuring, impairment, and other nonrecurring charges, as well as its liquidity. Management typically monitors the business utilizing the above non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP results, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, and certain management incentive awards are based, in part, on these measures. The presence of non-GAAP financial measures in this report is not intended to suggest that such measures be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or as superior to, DMC’s GAAP information, and investors are cautioned that the non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness. Given that not all companies use identical calculations, DMC’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Net sales were $166,869 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, or a decrease of 9% compared with the same period in 2023, due to lower sales at Arcadia Products and DynaEnergetics. The decrease at Arcadia Products was attributable to lower sales volumes attributable to a slowdown in our key short-cycle commercial and longer-cycle ultra-high-end residential markets combined with lower customer pricing in response to declines in base aluminum metal costs. DynaEnergetics’ lower sales were primarily due to a decrease in pricing of DS perforating systems as a result of industry consolidation in the United States.

Gross profit percentage was 25.4% versus 28.3% in the same period in 2023. The decline compared to prior year was primarily attributable to margin declines at DynaEnergetics as well as lower absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead costs as a result of the decrease in consolidated sales.

General and administrative expenses decreased $10,520 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with the same period in prior year. 2023 included nonrecurring CEO transition expenses and related accelerated stock-based compensation of $6,005, and patent infringement litigation costs at DynaEnergetics of $3,065. The remaining year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in internal leadership and sales meeting expense of $1,068 and ERP implementation costs of $509.

Selling and distribution expenses decreased $601 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with the same period in 2023. The year-over-year decrease was driven by a reduction in compensation costs of $1,045 and outside services costs of $241. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense of $631.

Amortization of purchased intangible assets decreased $375 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 as the customer relationship purchased intangible is amortized using an accelerated amortization method.

Strategic review expenses of $2,169 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 relate to the initiation of a review of strategic alternatives for the DynaEnergetics and NobelClad business segments. In connection with this process, strategic review

expenses incurred primarily included $1,138 in diligence related professional service fees and $489 in employee retention compensation, including $72 of stock-based compensation.

Operating income of $6,688 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased compared to $7,220 in the same period in 2023. The reduction in operating income was the result of decreased financial performance at Arcadia Products and DynaEnergetics.

Other expense, net of $409 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily related to net realized foreign currency exchange losses. Currency gains and losses can arise when subsidiaries enter into inter-company and third-party transactions that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency, including foreign currency forward contracts used to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated asset and liability positions.

Interest expense, net of $2,317 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was consistent with the same period in 2023.

Income tax provision of $1,643 was recorded on income before income taxes of $3,962 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our most significant operations are in the United States, which has a 21% statutory income tax rate, and Germany, which has a 32% combined statutory income tax rate. The mix of income or loss before income taxes between these jurisdictions is one of the primary drivers of the difference between our 21% statutory tax rate and our effective tax rate. The effective rate was impacted unfavorably by the geographic mix of pretax income, state taxes, and certain compensation expenses that are not tax deductible in the U.S. The operating results of Arcadia Products that are attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder are not taxed at DMC, which resulted in a partially offsetting favorable impact to the effective tax rate. We recorded an income tax provision of $2,500 on income before income taxes of $4,639 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The prior year rate was impacted by the same factors previously discussed.

Net income attributable to DMC Global Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $2,563, compared to $909 for the same period in 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased compared with the same period in 2023 primarily due to the factors discussed above. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for the explanation of the use

Business Segment Financial Information

We primarily evaluate performance and allocate resources based on segment revenues, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA as well as projected future performance. Segment operating income is defined as revenues less expenses identifiable to the segment. DMC consolidated operating income and Adjusted EBITDA include unallocated corporate expenses and unallocated stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation is not allocated to wholly owned segments, DynaEnergetics and NobelClad. Stock-based compensation is allocated to the Arcadia Products segment as 60% of such expense is attributable to the Company, whereas the remaining 40% is attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder. Segment operating income will reconcile to consolidated income before income taxes by deducting unallocated corporate expenses, unallocated stock-based compensation, other (expense) income, net, and interest expense, net.

General and administrative expenses decreased $201 for three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due primarily to lower ERP system implementation costs.

Selling and distribution expenses decreased $984 for three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due primarily to lower compensation costs.

Amortization of purchased intangible assets decreased $375 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 as the customer relationship purchased intangible asset is amortized using an accelerated amortization method.

Operating income decreased $3,721 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to the decrease in gross profit.

Net sales decreased $3,846 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due to a decrease in pricing of DS perforating systems as a result of customer consolidation in the United States.

Gross profit percentage decreased to 21.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to lower customer pricing as well as lower absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead costs as a result of the decrease in net sales.

General and administrative expenses were lower by $3,306 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 driven by a decrease in patent infringement litigation costs of $2,864. The remaining decrease is attributable to a reduction in compensation costs of $592.

Selling and distribution expenses were higher by $166 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due primarily to an increase in bad debt expense of $447, offset by a decrease in marketing consulting costs of $314.

Operating income decreased $4,326 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due to the decline in gross profit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations from a combination of internally generated cash flow, revolving credit borrowings, and various long-term debt arrangements. Our net debt position was $67,565 at March 31, 2024 compared to $72,192 at December 31, 2023. The decrease in net debt during the first quarter of 2024 was due primarily to a decrease in outstanding debt attributable to repayments made on the revolving loan subsequent to the credit agreement amendment executed in February 2024.

We believe that cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flow from operations, funds available under our current credit facilities and any future replacement thereof will be sufficient to fund the working capital, required minimum debt service payments, and other capital expenditure requirements of our current business operations for the foreseeable future. We may also execute capital markets transactions, including at-the-market offering programs, to raise additional funds if we believe market conditions are favorable, but there can be no assurance that any future capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Nevertheless, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations will depend upon our success in executing our strategies. If we are unable to (i) realize sales from our backlog; (ii) secure new customer orders; (iii) continue selling products at profitable margins; and (iv) continue to implement cost-effective internal processes, our ability to meet cash requirements through operating activities could be impacted. Furthermore, any restriction on the availability of borrowings under our credit facilities could negatively affect our ability to meet future cash requirements. We will continue to monitor financial market conditions, including the related impact on credit availability and capital markets.

We also maintain a line of credit with a German bank for certain European operations. This line of credit provides a borrowing capacity of €7,000 on which no amounts were outstanding as of March 31, 2024.

Redeemable noncontrolling interest

The Operating Agreement for Arcadia Products contains a right for the Company to purchase the remaining interest in Arcadia Products from the minority interest holder on or after the third anniversary of the acquisition closing date (“Call Option”). Similarly, the minority interest holder of Arcadia Products has the right to sell its remaining interest in Arcadia Products to the Company on or after the third anniversary of the acquisition closing date (“Put Option”). Both the Call Option and Put Option enable the respective holder to exercise their rights based upon a predefined calculation as included within the Operating Agreement, subject to a floor value also as defined within the Operating Agreement which is based primarily upon a contractually stated equity value.

As of March 31, 2024, the settlement amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is $187,080 and is equal to the floor value as defined within the Operating Agreement. Upon settlement, consideration paid will be net of the $24,902 promissory note outstanding due from the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder. Refer to Note 2 within Item 1 for further information related to the valuation of the redeemable noncontrolling interest and promissory note outstanding.

Other contractual obligations and commitments

Our debt balance, net of deferred debt issuance costs, decreased to $88,009 at March 31, 2024 from $115,851 at December 31, 2023 for the reasons discussed above. Our other contractual obligations and commitments have not materially changed since December 31, 2023.

Cash flows provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $13,440 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $7,065 in the same period last year as working capital impacts on operating cash flows improved in 2024 as compared to 2023.

Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $9,651 was attributable to proceeds from the sales and maturities of marketable securities of $12,619, partially offset by the acquisition of property, plant and equipment of $2,968. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $2,226 related to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

Cash flows used in financing activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $34,296 included net credit facility repayments of $27,500. Additional cash flows used in financing activities included distributions to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder of $3,125, payment of debt issuance costs of $2,735 and treasury stock purchases of $936.

Net cash flows used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $11,007 primarily included a quarterly principal payment and prepayment on our term loan of $6,250, distributions to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder of $2,600, and treasury stock purchases of $2,157.

Payment of Dividends

Any determination to pay cash dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors. On April 23, 2020, DMC announced that its Board of Directors suspended the quarterly dividend indefinitely. Future dividends may be affected by, among other items, our views on potential future capital requirements, future business prospects, debt covenant compliance considerations, changes in income tax laws, and any other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.

In connection with the vesting of Company restricted common stock under our equity incentive plans or distributions of shares of common stock pursuant to our Amended and Restated Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“deferred compensation plan”) during the first quarter of 2024, we retained shares of common stock in satisfaction of withholding tax obligations.
